 Every now and then I pull a card to share wisdom collectively.
Here's what I pulled -- 8 of Pentacles (pictured above from Wild Unknown Deck). Pictured here is a spider depicting mastery of craft; weaving against all odds and possessing the qualities of intricacy, skill, confidence. The Wisdom: Where do we need to hone our skills? Master our craft? Perhaps get a new craft? This card also reminds us to stay the course. Whatever we choose to "do", commit to attaining mastery and pay attention to the details. Pentacles suit refers to material aspects of life: home, career, money. Want personal direction / wisdom? >>>Book Now  "The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are." -Joseph Campbell
Very wise words were spoken in a yoga class I attended this weekend and I have to share: Mastering others is strength. Mastering self is power. Often I am struck by how much time & energy we waste on trying to: -get others to do what we want -control others -judge others, etc. We spend so much time on other. It's easier to deflect and blame everything outside of us until we realize it drains us of our power. In some way we think focusing on other keeps us "safe" from having to face ourselves and take responsibility for who we are. It's an illusion. I think we struggle with this because we feel guilt and shame and actually judge ourselves. The remedy? Learn how to master self - our beliefs (it all starts here!), thoughts, emotions, words, and deeds. How? Know thyself - dig deep Love thyself - forgive thyself Be thyself - show up authentically I would say mastering self + being ourselves is true power - and the privilege of a lifetime.

What we sow, we reap. What we give energetically, we receive energetically. It's one of the laws of the universe. The cool thing about energy healing is that it clears both what we are giving out -- and receiving back. Energy healing also helps heal 7 generations backward and 7 generations forward. For those of you who have experienced it, you know what I mean. If you're feeling stuck, negative, unhappy, confused, whatever -- you are not alone. You may unknowingly be generating and therefore attracting this experience which is usually of the past. Ready to clear? >>>Book Now  Everyone experiences some level of stress & anxiety. However, when it becomes severe and persistent, or shows up in the form of panic attacks, it does not take long before someone reaches out for help.
More and more people are looking for holistic alternatives to the “mainstream treatment” of medication and talk therapy. Holistic treatments address the underlying causes, and benefit body, mind, and spirit. Energy healing and meditation are two powerful modalities that work directly with the nervous system and the mind to bring about deeper lasting healing. Another profound way to manage stress and anxiety these days is to give yourself an opportunity to disconnect from tech! Energy Healing When approached with an open mind, energy healing is a highly effective way of making the unconscious conscious --and healing deeply rooted trauma that we cannot always get to in talk therapy. Energy healing sessions allow us to target the root cause of anxiety and panic attacks, heal wounds that we are not consciously aware of, and release core beliefs and experiences stored in the body or the subconscious mind (feeling mind). The techniques used during an energy healing session are designed to switch the nervous system out of “fight–flight-freeze” mode into a state of deep relaxation, allowing for both short-term and long-term relief of stress and anxiety. In addition, what we learn during a session can help us re-align our conscious mind (thinking mind) toward what we want to create. Meditation The ancient practice of meditation, in particular Transcendental Meditation (TM), is becoming a more widely practiced alternative to “mainstream” treatments for panic attacks, anxiety and stress. TM teaches us how to be still and allow the brain and nervous system to re-boot. In TM we allow and accept whatever arises. This practice sends messages of steadiness and balance to the emotions and nervous system, even as normally disturbing or triggering images may arise, for example. This neutral reaction allows the time and space needed to process or let the image pass through. Over time we apply what we learn in TM to manage stress in our life more effectively. We begin to realize that emotions and thoughts come and go. More importantly we realize we are not our thoughts and emotions and learn non-attachment. Disconnect from Tech Breaking up is hard to do, yet sometimes it is what we must do to keep calm! Recently I disconnected from all social media. What happened was remarkable. I felt instantly calmer and was able to re-connect to myself. I did not realize how much of my energy and attention was getting drained by the noise of the world. Even “good” noise is still noise and we need to manage it. While you may not be able to disconnect for an entire week, setting up boundaries about how much time you are on tech (including television) is vital to stay sane. Easy ways to do this daily are no tech when eating, shutting your phone off at night when sleeping, giving yourself at least 5-10minutes in the morning when waking up, and another 5-10 minutes at night before going to sleep to breathe and name what you are grateful for. We really must tune out of tech in order to tune into ourselves. If you can take a week off from tech, do it! It is a wonderful practice of letting go. Over time, we learn that we are not really in control of anything but our choices. We realize the importance of choosing habits that make us feel good.
