Life is a journey filled with ups and downs, twists and turns, and unexpected detours. Along this winding path, we often find ourselves juggling multiple responsibilities, navigating challenges, and striving to maintain balance amidst the chaos. In the midst of it all, our spiritual practices can sometimes take a backseat, leaving us feeling disconnected from our inner selves and the divine.

As someone who has experienced the ebb and flow of spiritual connection firsthand, I understand the frustration and guilt that can accompany this feeling of disconnect. For the past few months, life has thrown curveballs my way, making it nearly impossible to carve out time for my spiritual practices. The stress and demands of everyday life have consumed my time and energy, leaving little room for self-care, let alone spiritual exploration.

Imagine life as a vast web of connections between people, filled with both positive and supportive ties, like those with close friends and loved ones. However, there are also connections that can leave us feeling drained, anxious, or stuck.

When weighed down by these not-so-good connections, there's a powerful technique called "cord cutting" that can help. It's like snipping the ties that are bringing us down, freeing us from heavy feelings and making space for happier vibes. Cord cutting is a transformative technique that allows us to release energetic ties and reclaim our emotional well-being.

As the holiday whirlwind gradually fades and the New Year unfolds, it's the perfect time to turn our attention inward and embark on a journey of self-care. The hustle and bustle of the festive season can leave us feeling drained, both physically and emotionally. Now, with the canvas of a fresh year before us, let's explore the transformative power of self-care and how it sets the tone for our aspirations.

Life is a magnificent tapestry woven with countless threads of experiences, emotions, and moments. But what makes the tapestry truly captivating is the lens through which we view it. Our perspectives shape how we interpret and respond to the world around us. Just as a camera's angle can capture an entirely different scene, our perspectives can transform challenges into opportunities and obstacles into stepping stones.

Are you a bath person 🛀 or a shower person 🚿? I love both but I don’t always have the time for a bath so I’ve found ways to receive the benefits of a salt bath – while in the shower!

Did you know that my Reiki-infused bath salt blends can also be used in the shower and can be just as beneficial when used that way? When you use them in the shower, you get all of the same benefits of a salt bath but in ½ the time. Did that just blow your mind a bit? Let me share some details about their benefits and additional uses outside of the bathtub.

Staying grounded is an excellent way to manage stress and anxiety. Grounding is a process that reconnects you with the energy of the Earth, allowing you to fully live in the present moment and receive nourishing energy from Mother Gaia. When you're ungrounded, it's harder to achieve your goals, and you may feel unfocused, anxious, or stressed.

Especially in today's uncertain times, it's essential to take care of ourselves, and grounding is an excellent place to start. I’ll explain a few simple grounding techniques below as well as share details about grounding crystals and products you can work with. By incorporating grounding practices into your daily routine, you can experience greater peace, balance, and clarity.

Have you ever yearned to tap into your intuition and gain insights into the mysteries of life? Look no further than the humble pendulum. With its mesmerizing sway, a pendulum can serve as a powerful tool for divination, helping you access hidden knowledge and receive guidance from the universe.

A pendulum is a tool that’s used to connect to your higher self and 'source' by asking questions to help guide, clarify, and raise your awareness. A pendulum can be used in various scenarios where you just want to gain a little more clarity, connection, and a better understanding of something. You can ask the pendulum questions about life, love, health, career, money, etc. It's not something you should use to help make every single decision of your life, but it can be useful in certain situations.

To be a mirror to other people means you reflect back to them what you see in them or what they’re projecting onto you. It's a metaphorical way of saying that you're providing others with a clear reflection of themselves, whether it be their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, or qualities.

While mirroring can be a powerful tool for connection and personal growth, it's important to be aware that not everyone may respond positively to it. Practicing empathy, sensitivity, and effective communication can all help to mitigate negative reactions and create a more supportive and positive environment for mirroring.

In this fast-paced world, where productivity and accomplishment are valued above all else, we often overlook a vital aspect of our well-being — listening to our bodies. Our bodies are incredibly wise and intuitive, always sending us signals and messages.

The importance of your actions matching your words is so significant. It’s a fundamental principle of integrity, credibility, and trust. When you say one thing and do another, people will notice. They will lose faith in you and your ability to deliver on your promises.

On the other hand, when your words and actions are in alignment, you gain respect, trust, and admiration from those around you. You become a person of integrity who can be counted on to do what they say they will do.

Self love is such a crucial aspect of our well-being but unfortunately it’s often overlooked or seen as unimportant – which couldn’t be further from the truth! Self love refers to the love and affection we have for ourselves, and it’s absolutely essential for our happiness, mental health, and personal growth. When we practice self love, we develop a positive relationship with ourselves, which leads to increased confidence, self-esteem, and resilience – all aspects of leading a fulfilling life.

There is a saying that people enter our lives for a season, a reason, or a lifetime. But what if I told you that even the people we casually cross paths with have deeper reasons behind their brief presence in our lives? Looking back at some of the people I've met just during the past 3 months, I can clearly see there are too many similarities in experiences, life paths, current crossroads, and common interests to be coincidental. Each one of these people has unique gifts to share with me and I have gifts to share with them – and those gifts will help us further on our paths in this lifetime.

We all know how important it is to take care of our bodies, but sometimes we forget that our mind and spirit need care and attention too. That's where self care comes in. Self care can be defined as taking time for yourself every day to do things that make you happy and help you relax. It's so important to have a self care routine in place because it allows you to recharge your batteries, so to speak. When you're taking care of yourself, you're better able to take care of those around you. And isn't that what we all want? To be the best version of ourselves possible?
