Celebrating 50 ✨🪷✨
✨50th birthday… You can’t help but be super reflective on life and everything that lead you to where you are right now.
✨Not an easy thing to do, because some of the reflection can be hard to look at.
✨But, if you reflect through the eyes of your heart it’s an opportunity to become WISE.
✨The best gift I received for my 50th birthday was the ability to see and feel the wisdom these past 50 years have offered. ✨I have been doing deep soul reflection for so long, but these last few months I feel like I was having a “cram study session in the school of life”

⚡️Changing gears below..but it all ties in;)

✨In March of 2022 I gifted myself yoga teacher training
✨When I started YTT I was 12 pounds heavier.. my joints were swollen and weak..and over all I felt “low”.. thank you menopause 🙏🏼 another part of life that gifts us with wisdom😅
✨Through my yoga practice, shamanic studies, astrology studies etc. I’ve been able to soulfully reflect from many different vantage points..
✨But more than that, it was through these vantage points l built a deep relationship with GOD.
✨I’m more open than ever to receive the wisdom he wants to gift us.
✨I was asked a handful of times, “What does it feel like to be 50?”
✨This yoga pose perfectly shows what I feel like. It is one of many symbols that reflect the never ending journey of healing mind, body & soul.
🪷More often than not I feel..
⛰️ Strong & Stable
⚖️ More Balanced (always working on that)
🌊 Vulnerable, open hearted, and flexible enough to engage with the flow of life
🖤I feel awkward & beautiful all at the same time 😂 just like this pose
🙏🏼I feel humbled by life
🙏🏼I feel a deep appreciation for my body and the ability to heal ( physically, mentally, emotionally)
♥️I feel love and compassion for who I used to be and who I am now.. I feel that same love and compassion for others.
♥️I feel excited to continue this journey of life as a wiser version of me.
♥️ I feel abundant with all the love that surrounds me.
⛰️✨At 50, I feel like Down to Earth Beauty✨⛰️

A gentle reminder that even if your life circumstances seem to tell you otherwise.. I promise you already possess everything you need to feel like the best version of you.✨⛰️✨

🌞Imbolc is the mid-point between the Winter Solstice & Spring Equinox, and when the Sun ingresses to 15 degrees of Aquarius.

🌞At this Mid-Winter celebration the Sun is growing in light, giving nature a gentle nudge to awaken from its Winter slumber and take the first step towards the blossoming of Spring.

🌞Are you feeling the nudge? What is awakening within you? What would you like to see blossom in 2024?

🔥Imbolc is a time to take inspired action towards our hopes, dreams & visions for the future.

🌞But how do we begin? What is the best path forward?

🌞Before we take action, we must ask ourselves this important question…

🌞What is the inspiration & motivation behind our desires?

🔥We’ll be gathering in ceremony to continue our soul work & gain clarity on this question.

🔥In ceremony we give ourselves a sacred space to become aware of any subconscious behaviors, beliefs, or fears that may be driving us. We all have subconscious patterns because we're human;)

🔥We transmute what we encounter in the subconscious with our love and integrate it within our conscious mind.

🔥This purification process allows us to take inspired action from the Divine Light in our Heart.

♥️The beauty of the Divine Light will allow our lives to unfold in ways greater than our highest vision… and we find peace with the fact that sometimes what we THINK we want isn’t really in service to our soul or our most fulfilled abundant life.

Are you ready to explore?

✨Pics from the mountain retreat this past weekend☺️
🙏🏼Thank you Roman for organizing and leading this soulful, healing yoga weekend at the Prama Institute AND for inviting me to facilitate a sound experience✨⛰️✨
✨A wonderful weekend that allowed people to step away from daily distractions and nurture their relationship with nature, mind, body & soul.
✨Wish I got a video of us all chanting “AUM in the DOME” as we closed the sound ceremony✨the combination of the acoustics and everyone’s energy was AMAZING!🕉️ ✨🙏🏼✨ next time;)

Hi Earth Star ⛰️✨
Hope to see you.. here’s a bit of insight into the evening 🍂♎️⚖️🖤

🍂The Autumn Equinox begins when the Sun reaches 0 degrees of Libra ♎️

✨Libra is represented by the scales ⚖️
A beautiful symbol that speaks to the balance of day & night we experience on the Equinox 🌞🌚
✨But it’s also natures way of reminding us to come back to our hearts and a state of internal equilibrium. ⚖️🖤

✨As the Sun descends during this Autumn season the “Libra scales will tip” and we’ll enter the dark half of the year

✨And like the Sun OUR energy will naturally descend down and in. 🧘‍♀️

✨It is time to consciously navigate the dark ( the subconscious mind), as we meditate & reflect on our relationship to all that is. ( ex. ourselves, the Divine, work, money, family, our past, etc.)

✨We’ll give ourselves space to acknowledge the beauty relationships bring in our lives, AND if we take an honest look at ourselves, we’ll balance that as we face the truth of where relationships expose what needs to be healed.

✨Through ceremony, sacred sound, a compassionate heart, and support of community we’ll journey inward to do our deep soul work.
✨It’s through diving into our own darkness (the subconscious) we begin to lay the foundation for the return of light…and we’ll meet again at the Winter Solstice ✨

Hi Earth Stars⛰️✨ ♓️ 🌚
The month of February is centered around all things heart & love. How very fitting for the beginning of Pisces season.

”Sometimes the longest journey we make is the sixteen inches from our heads to our hearts” - Elena Avila, author

✨I’m often asked what the sound bath is… what do we do there.. for 2 hours 😂
plain & simple…

✨We Journey inward..To find & know our Sacred Self

✨The sacredness of our hearts.. our true essence
✨So we can..
Think from with our ♥️
Speak from our ♥️
Create from our ♥️
Lead with our ♥️
LIVE from our ♥️

✨And so, at the soundbath we practice…

✨Merging the ♥️ & 🧠 (mind)

✨We learn to sit quiet & still.. grounded & present…turning our attention from the outer world to our inner world
✨We heighten our awareness tuning into the subtle energies moving through us and around us
✨We learn how to decipher our own pure energy from the external forces that will infiltrate if we don’t have proper boundaries
✨We develop deep listening skills & learn to interpret the language of the soul
✨We create a safe space to remove the armor that builds around our hearts when we experience pain & trauma
✨We open.. we fill ourselves with compassion & love..
✨We connect with a universal Divine purpose to SHARE our LOVE ❤️

✨This doesn’t happen in one soundbath.. or even 50.. and honestly we spend a lifetime /MANY Lifetimes growing & expanding our hearts, love & compassion.

✨It’s the path of the Spiritual Warrior and it’s not easy.

💫Can you imagine if we all made this a priority in life? Are you ready to open to this experience?

Hi Earth Stars ⛰️ ✨ (more to come😉)
At our first sound bath of 2023🎆 ♒️
I set the intention you are open to experience …
✨New Beginnings, Reflection, Release, turning inward, deep listening, expansion…
✨A flow of Divine Love moving through you as we sit TOGETHER & hold a vision for our future.
✨An insight to how the unique way YOU love is an integral part of the collective
✨A pouring of love from your heart
✨An experience of life unfolding in spontaneous, unique, unexpected & Beautiful ways💜

✨We need to do our soul work to open to this experience…this is the work of a lifetime, and the soundbath is a safe & FUN way to explore.
✨I know first hand sharing your heart with others can sometimes be a very vulnerable & downright scary thing to do!💫But, you know you’re doing your souls work when you’re scared to open up BUT DO IT ANYWAY, because your purpose, mission & message is more important than your fear.

Hi Starlights 💫 I hope what I’ve written below shines a light on what your soul is calling for at this time.. ♏️🌚
✨“There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own Soul, one does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” - Carl Jung ( one of my favorite quotes 💜)
✨WE ALL have pain, hurt & fear that lies deep within our subconscious. I’m that gentle reminder, helping you remember you’re not alone.
✨Sometimes life can feel sooo intense, because the Universe hands us incredibly dark & difficult things to feel & work through...and it can feel like we’re dying.
✨If we bury the pain we will subconsciously make decisions based on fear that pain has caused, and in that process we create unhealthy stories beliefs & habits that keep us from fulfilling our hearts desires
✨If we work though these difficulties CONSCIOUSLY we have the opportunity for rebirth & transformation, and the ability to lead from a place of love & the light of our Soul.
💫What are you working through right now? Are you “addicted” to an unhealthy story, belief, or habit? How is that addiction serving you?
⚡️It takes A LOT of energy to keep unhealthy stories & patterns alive.
✨Are you courageous enough to transform & channel that energy into something that serves a higher purpose?

⚡️I know! These are uncomfortable questions…

⛰✨But here’s the beauty in all of this.. you have all the answers & wisdom within you💜

✨If you’re feeling called to explore this further join me for my monthly community event..

✨It is here we create a safe & sacred space for you to meet these questions with LOVE & shine the light of conscience awareness on it all.

Hi Starlights💫 Here’s something to ponder if you feel out of balance.. ♎️
✨All of nature seeks a state of balance. ✨Sometimes Nature oscillates drastically between polarities (ex. fires/floods)
✨OR, can make the smallest shifts within those polarities that almost go unnoticed .. until they ARE noticed ( like the beautiful transition between seasons)
✨Nature is wise & intelligent, and operates without judgement or hesitation.
✨Nature gives & Nature takes, all for the purpose of Cosmic Order, and to be in right relationship with “ALL THAT IS”
⛰⛰ ✨WE ARE NATURE✨⛰⛰
✨we seek balance & right relationship with “ALL THAT IS”
✨BUT, for good or ill we are that special part of nature that is influenced by past trauma, emotions, & overthinking minds
✨When we’re to engaged with the mind, overwhelmed by our emotions, and our state of being is unbalanced, we cloud the innate wisdom & intelligence that lives within us!
✨✨✨SO WHAT ARE WE TO DO✨✨✨
✨Slow Down, Pause, Breathe, & Tune into our Hearts.
✨It is here we come into right relationship with ourselves & reconnect to our innate wisdom & intelligence!! Only then are we able to recalibrate, make conscious choices, and engage life & relationships with more grace & ease.

✨The modern world is fast & busy. We need to carve out time to to press pause & do our soul work. Soooo…

Hi Starlights 💫 Below I have written you a simple way to connect with the essence of Virgo energy ♍️

✨When I began my healing journey I worked with a personal mantra that helped me soooo much.

✨I would say ..
Health + Self Love = Beauty
not beauty in a physical sense, but the deep authentic beauty of the Divine that lives in all of us.

✨That Beauty is ALWAYS there.. it’s eternal. But, the heaviness we may feel from the demands & pressures of day to day life or past traumas can cloud our Divine Beauty.

✨So how can we “clear the clouds”?

✨Ask yourself many times a day…is this an action of Health + Self Love?

✨Its a powerful question that helps us be discerning & take action in service to our soul.

✨I promise this simple question will bring clarity, & it’s a great question to ask for keeping & creating healthy boundaries.

✨over time it’s a question that will purify mind, body, & soul allowing our earthly experience to be a greater expression of our divine love.

✨AND, it’s a question that will help us magnificently Live Down to Earth Beauty✨⛰ ✨

This month I’ll be (Glenwood location) for our monthly soundbath & soul work on Sunday August 28th 2022 from 6 to 8 pm.

⚡️I’m going to set us up a bit different + bring some “freshness” to the event.. I’m excited to share it with you!!!

Hi Starlights 💫When we’re on the spiritual path we recognize we’re all one & everything is interconnected, and through different spiritual practices we’ll often be reminded of that.
✨ BUT, we also need to be reminded we are an individual expression of The ONE Divine Source.
✨And now, more than ever, we need to be conscious of the shadow side of what it means to be All One/part of a group/the collective conscious in our daily “earth life”
✨The collective is only as healthy as the individual.
✨If you watch any news source it’s evident that the collective is in need of great healing.
✨Don’t get me wrong, the human spirit needs to belong & be connected.
✨BUT, it’s crucial at this time we take moments to step away from the “noise” the conditioning/group/ and the roles society expects us to play.
✨we need space to journey inward and sit with our individual hearts. It’s here we can HEAL & have a conversation with the soul.
✨it takes A LOT of courage to do this soul work!! We all want to contribute to the peace & healing of our world…
✨Discovering & expressing the essence of our soul/spiritual core is our greatest gift to humanity. 💜 if what I write resonates with you, join me for my monthly, shamanic sound journey experience on Sunday, July 31st, 6 to 8 pm as we explore this topic.
⚡️This month I’ll be holding it at Hot Yoga Center (Glenwood location)

Hi Starlights💫 We’re more brilliant than we can ever fathom. Our light is so big & bright!!

✨Sometimes we have moments where we encounter that light, and because of its brilliance it can be downright shocking/scary.. we shy away from it.. we won’t look…we put our hands up.. WE BLOCK IT!

✨April 30th we had a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Ta**us that showed us a glimmer of our next level of brilliance + the beauty & abundance of life that is ours to claim.
✨And YES, you deserve it. ALLLL OF IT✨

✨But here’s the catch, if we want to embody HIGHER levels of light, we have to dive DEEPER into the darker spaces of our psyche, body & soul.. the spaces where we hold our pain & trauma.

✨AND, while we’re there, we need to burn away whatever is sabotaging our ability to reach the light, and use the ashes for fertilizer😉

✨The Total Full Moon Eclipse in Scorpio on May 16th is asking us to just that. 🔥 ♏️ 🌕

✨WE ALL have pain & trauma.. it’s why are soul’s came to Earth.. to heal & ascend towards the light.

✨You’ll know that healing is taking place when you can find the BEAUTY in your pain & the BEAUTY in the process of being an ever evolving soul.

✨These are my FAVORITE energies to work with.. IT IS the ESSENCE of what it means to Live Down to Earth Beauty 🏔✨

✨I’ll be on May 15th 2022 from 6 to 8pm for our sacred sound experience & soul work.

✨I👁YOU✨I❤️You✨

Hi Starlights💫 How are you feeling?
The Sun shifted into Ta**us & I’m looking forward to tuning into the slower, stabilizing & nourishing energy. How ‘bout you? ♉️ 🌍

👣 To help us FEEL this beautiful grounding energy in our bodies, I’m going to try something new for us to experience together! So don’t miss this sound bath, & bring a friend.. the more people the better!!!

✨The astrology has been intense! There are sooo many transits playing into this exceptionally transformational time 🐛🦋

✨We’re all being asked to live congruent with our values, and to create space in mind, body & soul to dream big, act on our hearts desires, & create something beautiful that fulfills us & serves others.

✨But for that to happen there’s a personal healing that we must undergo, and it’s showing up for all of us in one way or another.

✨We have no choice but to move through the energies at play right now..

✨BUT, We DO have the choice to do it consciously or unconsciously

✨I hope our time together offers a space that allows you to shed some light into the undercurrents of your life so you’re able to respond consciously.

✨instead of discussing all of the transits, I have a bunch of questions, reflective of the astrology, that’ll stir a conversation with your soul✨

I’ll be this Sunday April 24th from 6pm to 8pm

On March 20th we shift into Aries season, celebrate the Spring Equinox + Astrological New! ♈️

🌷🌱🌿It’s a time of rebirth & new beginnings.🌿🌱🌷

We naturally tend to pull back during the dark of winter😴and during this natural resting phase we plant our metaphorical dream seeds & vision for the future.

✨What did you dream during your Winter slumber? What are your deep desires? What motivates you? Do you have the courage to take action?

How do your desires, motivations, and actions effect others?

What’s driving you..love or fear? ♥️ or 😱

♥️✨If we want something beautiful to emerge & grow then love is the only way.✨♥️

BUT, because we’re human fear can get in the way of us taking action OR we may take an impulsive action driven by fear that can leave us feeling out of alignment.

And many times the fear is being driven from a subconscious place.. we don’t even know we’re doing it!

I’ll be on Sunday March 20th from 6 to 8pm for a sacred sound experience.

Come sit with us as we do our Soul Work. We’ll explore/bring awareness to these questions & journey to the place deep within ourselves that ALWAYS has all the answers..

✨I👁You ✨I♥️You✨

PS.. this pic was from my walk yesterday.. Creation bursting into form around every corner.. I got the Spring Fever 🕺🏼 ☺️

Hi Starlights💫First sound bath of 2022 is this Saturday (January 15th) from 6 to 8pm .

✨🌬✨The chimes on my porch combined with the wind/air & caw of the crow match the vibe I’m sinking into as I energetically prepare for this month’s sound bath.. we have so much great astrology to talk about + a loving, nurturing Full Moon in Cancer ♋️ 🌝
After the holiday rush I can’t wait for us to create a space that is quiet,receptive, still, gentle, & reflective… see you there💫

✨I♥️You I👁You✨

Hi Starlights 💫 at this month’s soundbath we’ll be tuning into the Aquarius Full Moon♒️ 🌕 this moon’s energy is amplified because it’s the 2nd Aquarius Full Moon this solar month. ♒️Aquarius energy has been intense all year, and it’s through this tension we’ll be forced to do things differently, so we can break free from what’s holding us back. 🌕This moon is offering us a 2nd opportunity to bring clarity & closure surrounding the Aquarian themes in our lives.

In an uncertain world we may find comfort/safety in clinging to what’s familiar.. and the pressure to change can bring up our fears & shadow.

The astrology is asking us to do our shadow work, tune out the “noise”, tune into our ♥️’s, stand strong in our values, & trust the process.

The beauty of it all is we’re being supported every step of the way towards a higher perspective that is full of greater love & some well earned wisdom!

✨✨I’ll be at Yoga Inspired this Sunday for a sacred sound meditation. Come sit with us in a loving, safe space as we explore our inner worlds to gain an elevated understanding of the energy✨✨I ❤️ You✨I 👁 You✨
