You don’t have to push through.
You can pause and tend to yourself. 🤍

Trauma-informed yoga isn’t about perfect poses —
It’s about permission.
✅ To rest
✅ To modify
✅ To say no
✅ To listen to your body, even if it whispers

💬 What’s one way you’re offering yourself gentleness today?
(There’s no wrong answer. Your pace is valid.)
👇 Share below — your softness may help someone else feel safe too.

Port St. Joe, you were the reset we needed. 🌊☀️
Beach walks, salty air, fur babies in tow (some good moments… some dramatic 🙃), and a whole lot of sunshine and simplicity.

We stayed with family, soaked up slow mornings, and dreamed (just a little) about maybe making this place home someday… even if it stays just that — a dream. 💭

Now it’s back to reality — road trips, study guides, and pretending everything is totally fine in the world 😂✌️

🌕 **TONIGHT: The Full “Strawberry” Moon is Here!**

This evening, the moon will follow an unusually low arc across the sky, possibly glowing in breathtaking shades of **orange, amber, or pink** due to atmospheric haze and wildfire smoke. If your skies are clear, **don’t miss this celestial wonder!**

💫 **Moon Magic & Fun Facts:**
🍓 **Why "Strawberry" Moon?** Named by Algonquin and other Indigenous North American tribes, it marks the peak of wild strawberry season—its name is about timing, not color!
🌕 **Low-Hanging Wonder** – Appears extra large near the horizon due to the Moon Illusion.
🔥 **Fiery Hues** – Hazy skies may tint it with stunning coral and gold tones.
🔭 **Best Viewing:** Look just after sunset for peak color and size!
♐ **Sagittarius Energy:** A full moon of adventure, truth-seeking, and expansion—perfect for journaling, reflecting, and releasing.

✨ **Want to harness the moon’s energy even further?** Join me for a **New Moon Retreat** on **June 26, 2025, 5:15-7:30 PM** in **Somerset, KY**!

This special gathering will include **mindful movement, yoga, meditation**, and intention-setting to align with the fresh energy of the new moon. Whether you need **renewal, clarity, or connection**, this retreat is your moment to **pause, reflect, and step into transformation**.

🌑 Save the date and join the lunar magic! More details coming soon.

📸 **Bonus:** Snap a photo of tonight’s moon using night mode or a zoom lens—capture it near trees, hills, or buildings for extra drama!

✨ Step outside, breathe deep, and soak in this lunar gift. See you under the stars! 🌙

Deep Dive into Mindfulness – Reflections from Day Three of Training

Today’s mindfulness training was a powerful exploration of gratitude, breathwork, somatic release, and the mind-body connection. One of the biggest takeaways was shifting gratitude from a simple list to an embodied experience, engaging the senses and creating a deeper emotional impact.

We also dove into psoas release work, uncovering how stress and trauma are stored in the body and how movement can create profound relief. Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing) reinforced the power of the breath to balance the nervous system, while Yoga Nidra and Sankalpa helped solidify our intentions for healing and growth.

This journey is reaffirming the importance of embodied mindfulness—not just thinking about presence but living it through movement, breath, and awareness.

✨ In just 6 days, we’ll gather for the New Moon Retreat—a time to set intentions, release what no longer serves us, and embrace new beginnings. If you’re ready to align with the energy of renewal and deep inner work, I’d love for you to join us!

🌱✨ **What Are Ember Days?** ✨🌾
Did you know there are special days in the Church calendar called *Ember Days*? Observed by many Catholics and Anglicans, these days are clusters of three (Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday) that occur four times a year to mark the changing seasons. 🌸☀️🍂❄️

Each Ember Week is a time for prayer, fasting, and thanksgiving for nature's gifts:
🌼 **Spring (March 12, 14, 15, 2025)** – Gratitude for rebirth and light
🌾 **Summer (June 11, 13, 14, 2025)** – Thanks for the wheat crop
🍇 **Fall (September 17, 19, 20, 2025)** – Celebrating the grape harvest
🫒 **Winter (December 17, 19, 20, 2025)** – Reflecting on the olive harvest

What’s fascinating is that the weather on each Ember Day is said to predict the next three months’ conditions! 🌦️

Take a moment to pause, reflect, and appreciate the beauty of the seasons. 🌍💖

Have you ever observed Ember Days? Let me know your thoughts or traditions in the comments! 🌟

Staying Grounded in Intense Energy 🌍✨

Hey friends, I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge something important. There’s been a lot of buzz about energy shifts, solar activity, and the Schumann Resonance lately. While I love exploring these topics, I also know that discussions like this can sometimes feel overwhelming, ungrounded, or even triggering—especially for those of us who have experienced mental health challenges.

I want to be clear: Staying grounded is key. While Earth’s energy is always shifting, our well-being depends on how we process and integrate these changes. If talk of “vibrational upgrades” or “timeline shifts” starts feeling too intense, it’s okay to step back, take a deep breath, and focus on what keeps you steady—whether that’s nature, mindfulness, community, or simply a quiet moment to yourself.

For me, balance is everything. If you’re feeling off, anxious, or overstimulated, know that you’re not alone. Let’s support each other in staying present, grounded, and well. 💙

How are you staying balanced through all of this? Let’s talk. ⬇️

🚀 A New Frequency is LIVE! 🌍⚡

The past timeline has dissolved. We are in a NEW energetic wave—can you feel it? 🤯🔥

The Schumann Resonance has surged to unprecedented levels this week, with intense red spikes flooding the charts. This level of electromagnetic intensity is RARE and signals a profound shift in Earth’s energetic field.

💥 What’s happening?
This surge may be triggered by global lightning activity, geomagnetic storms, or cosmic influxes, amplifying our collective frequency and accelerating spiritual ascension.

✨ Signs You’re Feeling the Shift:
🔮 Heightened intuition & psychic downloads
🌙 Vivid dreams & deep soul activations
⚡ Increased synchronicities & timeline shifts
🧘‍♀️ Stronger connection to higher consciousness

As Earth’s frequency rises, old dense imprints dissolve, creating space for new realities, heightened awareness, and quantum expansion. Breathe. Integrate. Ride the wave. 🌊

Are you feeling this shift? Drop a ⚡ in the comments! ⬇️
