Late Spring → Early Summer 🌱☀️

Today is June 1st — a new month, new energy, and a reminder that seasons are always changing. Summer arrives around June 20th, giving us the next few weeks to gently prepare for the seasonal shift ahead.

What we do today supports tomorrow. Small choices now help build energy, hydration, and resilience for summer.

As spring wraps up, we also begin closing out the season connected with the Liver and Gallbladder.

🌿 Liver & Gallbladder Quick Recap
• Associated with movement, flexibility, and decision making
• Gallbladder time: 11 PM–1 AM
• Liver time: 1–3 AM
• If you notice waking during these times, it may simply be helpful to notice patterns

✨ Balanced: motivated, creative, flexible, decisive
⚡ Out of balance: frustrated, irritable, stuck, indecisive

As we move toward summer, focus begins shifting toward the Heart and Small Intestine.

❤️ Heart
• Associated with circulation, joy, connection, and presence
• Time: 11 AM–1 PM

✨ Balanced: joyful, connected, calm
⚡ Out of balance: restless, anxious, overstimulated

🧡 Small Intestine
• Helps absorb nutrients and sort what the body needs from what it doesn’t
• Time: 1–3 PM

✨ Balanced: clear-minded, calm, focused
⚡ Out of balance: scattered, overwhelmed, uncertain

Foods for this seasonal transition:

💧 Hydration:
Cucumber, watermelon, celery, oranges, berries, zucchini
→ High water foods become more important as temperatures rise

🌱 Digestion:
Apples, leafy greens, cooked vegetables, beans, oatmeal, yogurt, broth-based soups, mint
→ Gentle foods can feel easier to digest during seasonal changes

⚡ Steady energy & blood sugar:
Eggs, fish, chicken, beans, lentils, nuts, seeds
→ Help support steady energy and fewer crashes

🧂 Minerals & warmer weather:
Potatoes with Himalayan or sea salt, avocado, pumpkin seeds, spinach, broth, olives, beans
→ Help maintain hydration, muscle function, and fluid balance

🍯 Pair carbohydrates with protein or healthy fats to help keep energy and mood more steady.

As one season comes to an end and another begins, supporting ourselves now often makes the next season feel a little easier.

🌕 Full Moon Tonight 🌕

Look east around 8 PM tonight as the full moon rises over the horizon. If you catch it early, it often appears larger and more golden as it climbs into the sky — one of nature’s best optical illusions.

Tonight’s moon is also special — a rare Blue Moon, meaning it’s the second full moon in one month. It’s also a micromoon, meaning the moon is slightly farther from Earth and appears just a little smaller than average.

As the sky darkens, look nearby for Antares, the reddish star often called the heart of the scorpion. Then turn west after sunset where you may spot some bright neighbors in the sky:

⭐ Venus — the brightest and easiest to find, low in the western sky
⭐ Jupiter — shining above Venus
⭐ Mercury — low near the horizon if you have a clear view

Grab a blanket, put your crystals out, make some moon water if that’s your thing, and enjoy the sky show above us tonight.

The universe puts on the best entertainment — all we have to do is look up 🌕✨

🌕 Are you feeling a little different lately?

The full moon peaks on May 31st, but many people notice shifts not only on the night of the full moon but also in the 3 days leading up to it and the few days after, as the energy settles back down.

This full moon is also a little extra special—it’s a rare Blue Micromoon, meaning it is the second full moon in one month and also farther away from Earth than usual, making this a less common event. It won’t look blue, but its rarity makes it worth noticing.

Some people notice changes in sleep, emotions, energy, focus, appetite, dreams, or simply feel more sensitive or restless during this time.

We know the moon influences tides and natural rhythms on Earth. Since our bodies are largely made up of water, many people feel it makes sense that we might notice shifts within ourselves, too.

Those who tend to be more sensitive to cycles—women noticing hormonal shifts, those already feeling stressed or overwhelmed, or people who connect strongly with astrology, especially water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces)—may notice these changes more.

If you feel more emotional, tired, restless, sensitive, or just not quite like yourself right now, know that many others feel the same way. Be gentle with yourself, hydrate, rest when needed, and remember that shifts in energy and emotions are part of being human.

This too shall pass. :)

Wind… 🌬️

Living here teaches us a few things.

Tie things down. Expect dirt inside no matter how many times we sweep. Don’t leave hats in truck beds. And learn that some seasons are simply harder than others.

This time of year brings wind, dust, changing weather, and a lot of movement. It can leave us frustrated, exhausted, and wondering when things will finally calm down.

But we’re heading toward June now, and around here that usually means calmer days are coming.

Maybe that’s true in life too.

Many traditions, including Chinese medicine, connect spring with movement, change, wind, and even the eyes. Maybe that connection exists because this season constantly asks us to adjust how we see things.

Sometimes the dust blows so hard we can’t see clearly. Sometimes life does the same.

St. Johns knows resilience. We live through wind, dust, hard winters, dry seasons, changing plans, and still show up for one another. We adjust. We brush the dust off. We keep going.

So if things feel windy right now — outside or inside — maybe we just need to remember: seasons change. The wind settles. Visibility returns 💚

StillPoint is not a doctor’s office waiting room.And it’s not a luxury spa either.

It’s simply a quiet place to slow down for a little while.

An hour or more where nobody needs anything from you. No bosses. No employees. No kids asking questions. No phone calls. No pressure to perform, fix, respond, or hold everything together.

Some people nap. Some sit quietly with tea. Some receive acupuncture, bodywork, relaxing facial, red light therapy, or simply rest under a blanket listening to calming sound therapy.

Just space to exhale for a bit.

Private sessions available Tuesdays & Thursdays by appointment.

Community Relaxation Lounge
Mon / Wed / Fri 1–5 PM. Last session begins at 4 PM.

The day after Memorial Day always feels a little quieter somehow.

This morning’s rainbow felt like a beautiful reminder that restoration matters too. 🌈

Light carries frequency, and different colors of light are used to support circulation, collagen production, calming inflammation, and cellular renewal.

Inspired by that moment, I’m offering a June Introductory Special on the 90-minute Contour & Glow Facial at StillPoint. ✨

Now also open for Saturday appointments.
