Peony

Peony is an acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine practice owned and founded by Paige Barnes in Seattle.

The Latin name “Paeonia,” derives from the name “Paeon.” Paeon was a Greek disciple of Asclepus, the god of medicine. In Traditional Chinese medicine, peony is a foundational herb commonly used to support women’s health and injury due to trauma. Ancient Chinese poets depict peonies as a symbol of honor, abundance, love, affection and feminine beauty.

Ghost Souls ritual cards are a gateway to breath and renewal.

This deck of five ritual cards is designed to support your self-care through the fall season. Through QR codes, each card opens into a multi-sensory ritual—a forest meditation, a ginger foot soak, acupressure and affirmation practices, and a restorative breathing meditation. Each ritual is a gateway to well-being, opening you to the steady current of light within.

The Ghost Souls ritual cards guide you into the lungs’ Ghost Heart—a region along the channel where qì flows like a luminous stream. Each card is a multimedia ritual in your hands, inviting you to engage your senses, awaken imagination, and reconnect with the beauty of your inner life.

The deck includes:
• Body of Ghost Heart — Meditation
• Mouth of Ghost Heart — Foot Soak
• Floodplain of Ghost Heart — Affirmation
• Headwater of Ghost Heart — Restorative Breathing

Ghost Heart ♡
Today I shared Ghost Heart, the second ritual of Ghost Souls.

We explored the connection between your heart and your lungs. Your lungs are the messengers of your heart.

We worked with dried ginger to warm from within and Sarah essential oil to expand your breathing capacity. ✨

This was also the first time I introduced the ritual cards — companions for each practice that you can return to anytime.

Two more rituals remain in this series.
You can experience Ghost Souls through the cards (now available) or join the live retreat on November 16th on Vashon Island.

“ It unfolds over long distances, streaming to the ocean of your body. Moving through a canyon—layers of stone, stacked colors of rust, rose, and deep violet.”

A little peek from Ghost Hall, the fourth ritual in my Ghost Souls series that I’m writing now 🍂 Blue’s keeping me company as always—my loyal writing buddy 💛🐾

In Ghost Souls, I’ll guide you to awaken your inner wildness—where breath, imagination, and body meet. Like the grizzly’s roar, you’ll feel your landscape inside come alive.

✨ What story do you tell yourself about your pain?

I’ve been in conversation with pain for most of my life—low back, neck, knee, little flare-ups that shift and resurface. For years I thought, this is just the wear and tear of being a dancer. Later I thought, once I have access to the right care, I’ll be free from it.

And while I’ve found help, I’ve also discovered that pain isn’t just shaped by clinical narratives—stories about wear and tear, hormones, the aging process, or psychological wounds. These explanations are helpful, but they don’t tell the whole story.

I’m learning to imagine my body as an ecosystem—what waters flow here, what plants grow here, how the light moves through this inner landscape.

Through ritual and meditation, I’m beginning to see my pain differently—not as a problem to fix, but as part of a living story that reveals light within me.

✨ What waters flow through your body? What plants grow there? How does the light move through your inner landscape?

By turning inward, I can shift the sensations in my body away from the ways the world interprets them, and toward how I perceive myself—feeling my body’s strength, beauty, and unique rhythm.

✨ What is your heart saying?
The lungs are the messenger of the heart—carrying its light through the body with each breath.

In Ghost Souls, we’ll imagine the lungs as a waterfall. Inside, at the heart, a nest of starlings.

🌬 Inhale — the waterfall expands, wings shimmer and chatter.
Exhale — the waterfall thickens, the starlings hide.

Breath by breath, more starlings appear—
until they take flight, carrying the message of the heart through your whole body.

Join me for Ghost Souls, a four-part ritual of rest and renewal through breath, herbs, and embodied practice.

📅 Sundays: Oct 19 & 26, Nov 2 & 9, 2025
🕙 10–11:30 AM PT | 💻 Zoom | 💲 $300
Includes ritual kit + cards shipped to you.

I’d love to see you there!
