The Weird Amazing Things That Happen On Your Soul Path

Your friend mentions a swing at a time right before your mother died when you were playing in the forest with your friends on mushrooms and everything felt right in the world…. later that night you dream about swinging on a swing with your favorite dog that passed away in your arms at the house that you grew up in.

All the things that feel safe.

Then something happens and you all have to run and hide, but there are big huge black spiders in the crawl space. The next morning you wake up and there is a video that circulates twice in your feed right after one another of a dog dressed up as a big black spider running around your house.

Later that day you are led to pull a card by a dragon, matriarchal spirit guide and right before feel the urge to lick a salt rock and pick up your shamans stone.

Then you open your book of symbols, and ask for a sign- Salt is what page you draw.

Salt, the cleanser purifier, medicine, poison. The thing we need to purify and also the thing could dehydrate us the most.

I had just licked the salt rock, just asked what I needed to leave at the alter for my guides.

Just a little, they said.

Then I pulled a card- The Poet.

Which led me right here to share this message with you!

That is all for now.

Follow Your Path

Your body, your desires, your purpose, your heart, your meaning. Let it be your only guide.

Even when things get weird.

Honoring the Legacy, Bridging Ancient Future Templates, Holding the Most Central Timeline

It is my purpose AND sacred rebellion against a dying age to be a studier, keeper, remember, and teacher of spiritual knowledge, women’s wisdom, and medicine ways. 

When the world as you know it is ending, and a new one is wishing, waiting, and incubating to be born- you gather what is yours. 

For all my life; family, friends, wellness prayer & play, have been my seeds to tend.

So in this time of great change, I gather what is mine…

For my ancestry. For my legacy. For my destiny.

I begin to gather what needs to come with us.

My work, path and purpose since I was a child, has always been-

to tend to my own wellness and the well-being of others,

to pray at least once a week in temple & morning and night on my own,

and to entertain myself.

The underlying current of my why and reason-

was to weave a vessel for my loved ones to also drink from the joys of my Leo Sun.

The girl whose sun is actually in leo, and whose solar energy was born from a father that bears the name Leo.

This is how I learned to be who I was learning to be; when I was growing up.

In all the ressurecting of who I be- my decades of birth chart research, four years of human design experimentation, and life long lover and researcher of soul codes; I have come to the same conclusion.

Through circumstances in and out of my control, my work (in this lifetime; for 33 years) has been devoted to the cultivation and restoration of curating and creating a masterpiece of well, spiritually wealthy, playful beingness as a resource for my family and community.

I am here to be a bridge between what we have learned in the realms of the body, medicine, healing, spirit, and how important it is to be connected to our genius/damon/soul.

How to gather the divine solar systems of information and inspiration and channel it to the legends that will be created from our service.

As we resurrect the template of ancient future lifelines, timelines, leylines- I see the importance of my path here.

And no one else will ever see it like I see it.

That’s why it might look silly to those who are not living it with me.

I’ve always felt a little outcast from the rest of the world, never seeing how I fit into it. 

I feel the truth is some part of us always feels like the rainbow sheep. 

The difference is that I’m choosing to gather up all of what feels like mine and be a sacred keeper and temple space for that which I’ve been bestowed to shepherd in this life of living.

It is my great honor to be very present with where I’m at, and where I can cultivate more peace in that. 

How can I be a presence of the knowledge I’ve been humbled with?

How can I be a resource for the great spiritual lineage that is my ancestry?

How can my life be more of a ritual and ceremony for the energy that weaves more life into the tapestry?

For if I can be free, then can’t we all be free?

This is honoring the legacy and being a resource for those who will come after.

For using the energy of this time as a bridge for valuable, well, healthy ancient consciousness that can serve and support the future vessels of life we are receiving now.

By holding, always, the most central timelines.

The ones that our soul chose.

The ones that our bodies are choosing.

The one that creates more LIFE.

On Being A Fraud

Most of my life I’ve felt like a fraud…

If you’ve landed here reading these words, you might think that a Wellness Weaver is living a life of well healthy being. In truth, my wellness work is 25% in service to others and 75% in service to trying to heal my own body .

And I tricked myself to believe that it was because of my health problems, that I would be a great healer- not in spite of them.. But yesterday I ran into an old friend who also decided to walk the path of healer- and all I’ve ever known her to be is strong, well and able bodied... She seems to be taking leaps in what took me years to accomplish taking one step in.

Again, I find that my body disables me.

My wellness always seeming to hang on by a thin thread.

Never trusting my body.

Always waiting for the next shoe to drop, the next problem to rear its ugly head.

You see, I claim Wellness Weaver because I’ve spent a life time researching, studying, learning, and applying health rituals and ways. I’ve also spent a lifetime with unexplainable sources of auto immune disorders and inflammatory chronic conditions that doctors told me I’d be dealing with until the end of my days.

When I was in school for my Masters in Public Health- I would take epidemiology classes on smoking cessation, and immediately after find myself lighting up a joint or a cigarette hoping no one in my class would ever see the real me.

I would take classes on nutrition and intuitive eating, and pick up $20 worth of taco bell on my way home from school.

I got my health coaching certification, but hadn’t one single healthy behavior I was practicing consistently on my own terms.

I taught Vinyasa yoga a few times a week, but barely ever wanted to take a vinyasa style class if I was a student.

In fact there was a great deal of time that I was teaching yoga, and didn’t even like practicing it myself. Just felt like I had started on that path so I “had” to keep going because that was the only type of alternative health type job that seemed “acceptable.”

I used to call people to schedule a pap smear, mammogram or colonoscopy, while secretly believing that the entire program I was working for was an insurance company scam.

I played good girl, while being a slut behind closed doors.

I left the house in one outfit, and changed into another that showed my whole body.

I played an innocent, while always feeling like I was actually some how really bad.

And now I write this blog post as I sit in the middle of an afternoon at 2:22 in June of 2022, with my leg propped up, my knee swollen, a sadistic limp to walk to the bathroom, and without any sort of explanation as to why my body decided to react so loudly to a weekend of fun and play with friends.

I feel like a fraud because I started this business of supporting others through their healing journeys, but the truth is- this offering was just another step on my own personal path of trying to heal.

I’m here because I don’t know another way.

I spend so much time in bed, in pain, nurturing and caring for a body that seems to be fighting me every step of the way.

I claim wellness weaver. I have a masters in health sciences. I have more wellness certifications and trainings under my belt than anyone I know. Yet, all I feel like is a fraud.

Because no matter how much research I’ve done. No matter how many trainings. No matter how many practitioners I’ve seen, and plant medicine journeys I’ve gone on- I still can’t seem to find a place in my own body that feels 100% well.

I feel sick. Disabled. Unwell, in fact; many days of the year.

And I feel like sharing this truth makes me so un-credible as a health coach or healer or whatever it is that I think I’m trying to be.

When really in actuality- all I really want is to feel well.

All I really want is to have a body that works for me instead of against me.

All I really want is to feel like I have everything I need to be a healer, of my own body, bloodline, and community.

Instead, many days I feel like a fraud. A failure. A child who needs to be taken care of because most days she doesn’t feel well enough to take care of herself.

And phew… is there a relief in putting these feelings somewhere. In sharing my hidden beliefs in a public place where someone may read them someday.

Or maybe not.. I have this beautiful website I’ve spent so much time on, and I often don’t have the capacity to even hold space for others.

It gets so confusing in a world that says I need to “do.” It gets confusing in a world where my family says, “Thank goodness you don’t have a real job that you have to get up and go to everyday.” It gets confusing when people ask me what I am doing with my life, and all I can really tell them is that I’ve been sitting around and nurturing a swollen knee because that’s all I have the energy for.

So yeah. That’s what I’m dealing with over here. If I’m being honest. If I’m being truthful. If you want to know the real world of a wellness weaver.

I put a label on something I am trying to be. Like an unconscious spell or psychic manifestation, I imprinted these words “Wellness Weaver” in hopes that one day I finally would- feel well. In hopes that one day I finally would have enough tools to weave together that I eventually can confidently say to the world that I actually found the antidote to a sick body. In hopes that one day I can find a natural cure. In hopes that one day I feel so authentic in who I be, that I can confidently show up as me, without feeling like such a fucking fraud.

Is there anyone else on the healing path; doing it because you, yourself, need healing?

I’d love to hear from you. To know I’m not alone.

I’m writing this for my own healing practice today, and if it has helped you in anyway; the one or two readers who may have actually found themselves to the end of this blog post- then I trust there is a purpose to it all.

If you feel like a fraud, share your story. Maybe someone else will feel less alone in their journey.

Much love and peace always,

Eliana

Soul Work, Authenticity, Finding Your Frequency

By Wellness Weaver, Eliana Miranda

There is no greater sword to yield in this day and age, then knowing who you are.

When you know who you are then nobody else can wield their power over you.

When you have developed a well formed sense of truth in your being and your trust in the higher symbology at play, then you can hold all realities without judgement,

WITH all the discernment, recognition and boundaries that are required to stay in your own lane.

Truth, in this equation; relates to the soul, body, mind, identity, ancestry, nervous system- regulating and harmonizing as one.

Soul work can be done by asking this one question, “What were you born into this life with?”

It’s the most simple, and yet the hardest oftentimes to sit down and do the work for.

Who are you? And why, when how, and for what were you born?

One of the first places you can begin to look is at what is right in front of you-

The most prominent, important, and vital organ in the orchestra of your life: is your body.

What do you feel like? Who are you? Where do you come from and what brings you joy?

How do you process things, how do you serve others. What is the compost and energy of what your life has to offer?

What do you allow in? To be digested and processed? What is your own truth? When do decide what grows and what is ready for compost?

Knowing what your body/soul/mind/life require to receive more life, and what is not supporting and sustaining that life, is vital to keeping a well and healthy source of life sourced energy.

Creating an authentic soul led life, What is your most essential timeline?

Your soul codes.

Your body codes.

Your emotional codes.

Your lineage codes.
Your soul purpose codes

These are all vital to your beingness, to your purpose and reason for being alive at this time.

Notice if you’re hooked in a system of illusion.

Know who you are, and your purpose for being here, and you will never question.

But how can you connect with the most authentic part of you?

Look into it.

1. Spend time with yourself- this is as simple as resting, reading, writing, walking, being in nature, sitting, listening, playing music, making art, etc. This can also be resourced with support by going to therapy, seeking a supportive coach or friend, finding a great guide, elder, teacher/author.

2. Dive into who who are- get to know your background, where to you come from physically, culturally, socially, geographically, what elements are most natural to you, what plants are you most connected, what foods did your people eat

3. Deepen into your Destiny- there are many ways to do this but it sometimes feels like they are all speaking one language- learn about yourself. All of yourself, Your light, your shadows, your trauma, your initiations and revelations, your work, your purpose, your healing, your karma. All of these are valid and worthy roads to discovering your destiny.

   1. Some places to begin- start looking into things like your birth chart, your human design, your numerology, your name meaning. things that you can connect back to you and what you know to be completely true about your own life. If you find this hard to do, seek an HD Projector like Wellness Weaver who does this stuff for fun and can help you look up info about your charts.

4. Rest & Restore- honestly, life is hard enough as it is without needing to add anything else in. If you are questioning, literally anything; its time to get back to your body, the earth, and your breath. Your body is the vessel from which all of your life is born from, so when it’s time to tend, do your tending. When it’s time to rest, seek healing in the cave/queendom of your bed. When you feel like you need to move, dance/walk/shake it out. Listen to your own body always first and foremost, always honor and support your own field first before opening up the gates to others.

5. Sing- sing your siren soul song. One of the best ways to move energy is to make sooouuund. Yes that needed to be dramatic. If you are feeling stuck, stagnant, angry, sad, happy, really all of the things. Make some sound. If you are grieving. Sing. For them. For any of it. Move sound out of your mouth in tears, in reverence, in chanting, in toning, in soul song. Vibrate your body with your voice. You are healing. All of you is healing. Every piece. Especially that which comes naturally to you. That which is you. If you’re having a hard time saying no to something, practice! Say no to something that symbolizes that which you are putting a boundary up for. Maybe it’s an alter, an empty wall, a wise old tree. Use your voice. In any way you can.

6. Energy Practice- A beautiful way to connect all of the threads of who you are in the present moment is to honor and work with the genius that is your energy field. Your energy weaves all the aspects of you together; all of your body, soul, breath, life source, emotions, templates, contracts, agreements… I could keep going, but I won’t. The point is- Your energy is your point of contact. If you want to find more answers, get more clarity, help all systems of you to run better? Then work with your energy. And if you’re new to this practice then we’ve got an offering for you below.

The Wild Words of a Wanderer

By Earth Tender & Wellness Weaver, Eliana Miranda

I am created from the tendrils of mountain retreats and well travelled valleys. 

Where I can be free… 

Where I can be wild… 

Where I can hear the song of my soul. 

There is a wanderer that lives inside me that yearns to breathe with the trees.

Who, both questions and longs to 

listen to the mystery.

SHE is turned on by nature.

Resonated by earth’s sound. 

She climbs the trails of her passion

like a feline hunting her prey. 

Never thinking, but feeeeling. 

Moving on instinct. 

Letting the body guide..

She learns the art of shadow. 

The gift of staying hidden… 

So she can observe, 

watch, anticipate,

and wait until she feels something

authentic and real.

Eventually life always finds her,

And she is always calling to life.

There is this pull and a tug

between the creator and what is being created through HER body. 

In one thread…

It conjures the desire 

to rip off every piece of clothing 

that confines the wild feline 

of being female,

SHE who wants to moan in the moonlight.. 

SHE who wants to dance on mossy forest beds

And pulse in the poetry of wildflowers..

🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

But there is this other thread that also weaves through all things..

The one who fears HER. 

Because if SHE is fully allowed to be, then only she; can stop her flow..

She, the SHAKTI of life force energy..

Moving through all things like the fire of a dancing naked truth… 🔥 

Only those who speak the language of wolves can howl with her desire.

Only those who are not afraid to sing their soul song, can really meet her there. 

Witness the animal that is the inner earth wanderer.

The wildling… oh the sexy, siren, living by her own drum- WILDLING.

With your wild wings..

You wise crazy old crone that lives in the depth of your bones, 

You who YEARN to run to the woods alone. 

You who does not fear the darkness.

Who lives by nature as the chamber of lawlessness.

🏔

When SHE is free;

We SEE…

And our lives are never the same again.  

And when we embark back on the well tamed unwilded spaces: 

we bow to her, “Until we meet again.” 

And then we rest, wait, and integrate and remember what’s real. 

🌲 Blessed be The Giving Tree, and all her truths of creation.

Wellbeing is a practice, we tend the fire.

Join Wellness Weaver & friends for our next offering, ATTUNEMENT. Energy is awakening on planet earth and it is our job to tend to her fields with loving alignment and intention. Join us for this journey into the core of her and discover the ancient wisdom living inside of your earth body.

Libra Season

The season of the scales enters on Wednesday September 22 2021 with the potent portal of the Fall Equinox in the northern hemisphere and Spring Equinox in the Southern. 

We kick off Libra Season with a ritual of balance that opens the door to a season of change. I write these words as I gaze down upon the clouds of my airplane window. Thinking about how, up here, all is the same. There are no seasons. There is no change. There is just the constant presence of the sun, moon and stars. The earth sitting before me and I remember, that above all- we are all the same. Above all- we are all having the same human experience; together. 

But from the ground floor we experience it, each in our own unique way. Those who live on my side of the world, are beginning their descent into the darker seasons. Those on the other side of the worlds are beginning their walk into the light. 

So; can we honor the great human experiment, while also honoring our own personal journeys through it? 

Can we understand our own unique place in the world, while also understanding that we are connected to the greater whole? 

The theme for Libra Season is Interdependence over Codependence.

When we learn that we each have our own individual role to play in this lifetime, AND our personal experience effects the greater whole of humanity. When we learn that, though we each have our own unique mission, our purpose creates a ripple that influences the missions of all those who cross our paths in this lifetime.

Interdependence is the art of knowing yourself, owning yourself, and standing on your own two feet; as an act of service to the other. Being able to hold your own and take care of yourself, as a way to be a force of support for those around you. Cherishing your own body’s wisdom and self sovereignty, while also understanding that we are also an “everybody” and our choices will inevitably affect the collective whole. 

Libra season is known to be flirty, romantic, and full of love as guided by its ruling planet Venus. But as the world is changing and our definition of connection is rapidly evolving: we may need to honor Libra in a whole new way. 

Yes we are learning about relationships.

Yes we are learning how to be an influence of more love.

But we are also walking through a new portal of human history.

We are marching forward into an entirely new paradigm. 

If you are here, reading these words. Know that this world NEEDS you right now. It needs you to find your balance, to find your center, and to create a dwelling of safety and security in your own body. 

So instead of looking onward into Libra Season as a time to find your winter cuddle buddy (or summer fling)…. I instead encourage you to look to this season as a time to get right with yourself, and get right with the people who you are walking into the next paradigm with. 

No more half-assed relationships. No more companions holding space so you don’t have to be alone. No more using and abusing partnerships in order to appease a part of yourself that you are not loving enough.

No more codependency. No more relying on the other to complete yourself. Waiting for someone else to make your life whole.

No more relying on anyone else, but your own two feet and your own two hands, and the systems and structures that YOUR soul has built for you.

Libra season is the entry way into a new human experience. One where we honor the other by honoring the self. One where we create more cohesion and unity by being a whole complete counterpart in the relationships we choose now. 

Can you walk your own path? Can you find the people who are walking on their own path, but also heading in the same direction as you? Can those be your people? Can those be your encouragement to carry on?

The days of piggybacking on others magic is over. 

The days of living someone else’s purpose is history.

The days of being an other, before we are a self, is long gone. 

And can you honor that, as your service, to the collective community of people doing this human thing with you. 

This Libra season will be an initiation for you in your relationships. Trust the process, listen to your intuition, and be the change you wish to see in the world.

The scales are tipping in your favor, use the energy wisely.

Fall Equinox Energy

A ritual of balance… connecting both the light and the dark, the day and the night. Bringing them into complete coherence. Encouraging us to honor the transition of summer to fall. Of life to death. Of living to rebirthing. 

The fall equinox arrives on Wednesday, September 22 ushering in the season of the scales. We welcome Libra Season in with the turn of the wheel and acknowledge the darker days to come. In Libra season we learn to build partnerships, create cohesion between ourself and others, and get in right relation with our inner conversation. 

Honoring the turn of the astrological wheel measures the shifting energy of the sun. Honoring the turn of the earthly seasons: recalibrates your body to be in greater harmony with the natural cycles happening within and all around you. 

Rather than pinpointing all your hopes and dreams on the new year (or whatever holidays you may celebrate on your own terms): when ritualizing with the Equinox, when ritualizing with the seasons of the earth, we create an energetic grid around our time here on this planet. One that is in direct harmony with the natural cycles happening all around us.

By syncing up with the cycles of the sun and stars, you will discover a rich experience that most modern humans on this planet have yet to discover. Most still focus all their energy into the man made Gregorian calendar.

But I guarantee your ancestors found ways to honor the earth codes. 

And as the world is exposing itself as sick, unhealthy, and running on chaotic energies of fear: it is high time to bring our energy back to the natural, cyclical expressions of the earth.

Rather than disconnecting, running from, fearing the power of this Mother Ship- we embrace her, love her, and dance with her. 

How different would your life be if you were in flow with the energies of this planet that you walk on?

How much more harmony could you experience if you honored the death and life cycle of evolution, in your own body? 

How can balance, be the place you begin from? 

Rather than a new year, or a celebration, or a death or an ending; how can balance be the energy you hold as you move forward in your life. 

We don’t have to wait for an experience with the matrix grids to create change. We don’t need to wait for anyone else’s timetable to tell us where and when we need to live.

We just need to connect in with the earth: her rights, her rituals, her seasons.

This planet, this Mother Earth, is our home. And it’s about time we honored her.

Access a Balancing Ritual for the Fall Equinox: a 45 minute guided breathing and meditation practice to get your energy balanced, cohesive, and in harmony with the natural cycles of life. 

*This practice is recommended for use until the Winter Solstice!

Inspired

I want to be free to see

The real me come to be

I want to know that in my flow

I transpose all my old woes

I want to be high, so high

That my own sigh helps me fly

So that when the time does come

I know what light will guide me home

I am looking for...

Light | dark. Shadow | illumination.

A kaleidoscopic fractal of time and space and yet… here we are, now. To be seen, is to see. To have the grandeur that looks past- the one way, and sees all ways. Witness the potential universality that expands, everywhere. Projected from all angles, all perspectives. With respect to the greater views because we’ve also been at the bottom: where we all start, where we all end. Without knocking it down to reach the top: we climb. And when we lose light, we retreat. It is the ebb and flow of evolution. Natural progression. To be constantly going, growing, living, shedding, dying, and then reborn as something | else. It is this cataclysm that keeps the world spinning. It is that truth that keeps all things true. So let us not forget to honor the journey… the in-between that is nothing, but yet all things. Find solace in moments with shadow as a translucent expression of the soul's experience. It is this intimacy with self that ignites the inspiration of illumination. The two dancing a colorful expression of the world that lives within… as just a fractal of the whole world that exists without. We are everything we are looking for, and none of it.

I am

Looking for…

Tikkun Olam תיקון עולם

I’ve been silent. Hiding. Avoiding the truth.

As someone who normally feels very comfortable with words, I’ve had none lately. No words for myself, no words to help others. I wondered why I’ve been actively suppressing... burying myself under shitty tv and unhealthy choices… actively trying to hide myself- from myself. Stirring up a dust cloud of my own confusion, and then afraid to move away from the eye of the storm. There are days when I’m so hopeful for our future, and then there are days when really I just don’t know. So instead of trying to understand, I choose (yes choose) to stand in darkness. Instead of standing under my potential, acknowledging my part to play, I blow out the fire that allows me to have vision. I put out flames that stoke my passion, turn off lights that have lit the path before me. Suddenly, but not so suddenly, I am lost with no foreseeable future.

Is that what I’m here for? To hide behind bullshit and suppress my consciousness to static noice, just so I don’t make any waves? Each new piece of news I hear these days, hits me like a pile of bricks. Sends charges into my life: both positive and negative, hopeful and destructive. I call myself an advocate, but lately I’ve made active choices not to know, not to deal, not to address. I’ve made choices to suppress. Each time I don’t react, each time I ignore what’s happening in my life, in our world: I am making a CHOICE to be swept into a reality that I did not choose to be a part of.

Each day we make a choice: to listen, to hear, to know and see the truth. Each day we must decide what we stand for, what we believe in, what we are here to do. Tikkun Olam, or תיקון עולם in Hebrew, is a teaching of life from Jewish mystics advising us of our duty to create harmony. Advocating that we are each born into a broken world in order to repair it: to leave things better than it was before we came. If you left this planet now would you know, in all absolution, that you did the best you could do? Not just for the trajectory of your own minute life, but for the whole course of humanity’s story? Did you give back to this planet in more ways than she gave to you? Did you leave this place: your lineage, your people, your land; better than you found it?

Being silent is crippling. It is a disease spreading like wildfire to keep things (our earth, our communities, our humanity) stagnant, stale, suppressed, and morbid. Keeping all of us on the brink of mortality. Our planet crying out for attention, our youth in constant fear for their lives, our women disconnected from the LIFE GIVING power of our bodies because we are told they don’t belong to us. The colorful kaleidoscope of human citizens is being dulled into a grey monotony of singularity. What is happening in our country is NOT normal, it is not just, and it is absolutely not okay. We can not continue this way, or we will not continue in any way.

I don’t have all the answers, but I know that each of us has at least one. One way in which we are each here to make this world better for us all. One thing we can do to make waves. Let us use our voices, our gifts, our art, our connectivity to CHANGE SHIT UP. This is one act. It will take so many more from me… from you… from them. But let us be loud enough for them to hear us, in whatever way you choose to express.

Make sure you are felt. Make sure you are seen, Make sure you are known.

When that news hits you like a pile of bricks, when you feel that charge, do something with that energy. Do something, anything, about it. That is the act of Tukkan Olam. To not hide from our emotions, suppress our feelings, or doubt our beliefs about the way our world should be. Instead we use this wisdom to find meaning, and become a creator of our world instead of just a participant of it. Instead of just its prisoner.

Be loud. Be visible. Be truth. Stare them right in the face with it.

April Astro Reading

The April card pull was definitely a different experience then the last month. I’ve read cards for a few years, but never to this capacity: reading for so many diverse energies at one time. A lot of similar messages came through for different signs… repeating patterns that reminded me we are all of one collective frequency, especially riding the wave of a new season. There were many times I second guessed myself, spent a good chunk of time resetting my boundaries and rechecking in with my original intention. Even when I managed to get moments of momentum, I’d burn out quickly and find a way to reorient. This is Aries energy to me: on our way to the fiery peaks of Pitta season, but for now we’re just starting to work our way out of the ground. There will be activations to help us get going, but we also have some work to do before we achieve a steady flow. Enjoy the shift: in due time we’ll be in the excitement of summer, so enjoy this leisurely pace of getting ready before we hit it full steam ahead.

Collective Spread

Cultivate your fire with care..

General Month Ahead for All Readers:

Lamb ∞ The Chariot ∞ Red Amethyst

Unsurprisingly, the collective read for the month of April came up similar to the pull for our Aries Sun and Aries Rising readers. That’s because we’ve started a new year in astrological terms, and Aries is the frontrunner on this turn of the wheel. As this fiery energy ignites a new momentum in our lives, we can use this next month to reinvigorate our new year’s intentions, make any necessary changes, and ensure that whatever held us back in the past; does not dictate how we expand into the future. The Chariot advises strength and resilience on the journey; to maintain a strong footing so we don’t get swept up off our feet when life rapidly starts moving forward. The Lamb is a message to take intentional moments of stillness to check in with our intuition and make sure we are heading in the right direction before we get carried way. It is those times when we get quiet, and recognize the sound of our own guidance steering the course, that we are able to integrate the lessons we’ve been learning to make the right decisions for our future.

Taurus Rising

Taurus and Taurus Rising:

Earthworm ∞ Two of Wands ∞ Rhodonite

This is new territory Taurus, but not only are you on the right path, you’ve also done a lot of work to get yourself to this point. it’s time to believe in your capability and make good on your commitments.

Gemini & Gemini Rising

Allow your roots to help you rise..

Gemini and Gemini Rising:

Wolf ∞ Judgement ∞ Petrified Wood

The message for the Gemini’s was clear. April could be revolutionary for your relationships, and especially those most closest to you. Changes will likely be a result of personal liberations discovered by cultivating a new relationship with yourself. In your heart, you know that only you can heal your own pain, only you can elevate to your highest good. Start to embrace what has happened in the past as a tool to make you stronger rather than a weight you have to always carry. Holding grudges means you’re still having to hold something, and wouldn’t it be better for everyone if you just decided to let it go? Both the Wolf and offering of Petrified Wood speak to your ancestry: the pack that you’ve come from… the community that has made you who you are. You belong to something, somewhere and it is worth it to reconnect with your roots so that you can recognize how far you’ve grown. Look to where you came from, it will help guide you where you’re going.

Cancer & Cancer Rising

Follow the ancient wisdom held within the heart space…

Cancer and Cancer Rising

Turtle ∞ The Empress ∞ Red Amethyst

The saying, “Home is where the heart is…” rings true for Cancer this month. This isn’t referring to the literal foundation of your house, but instead speaks to a knowing that, no matter where you go: it’s the places and people of the hearts yearnings that hold the true meaning of coming home. It is your passion that encourages a venture into the wild unknown, it is your instincts that create new opportunities for leadership. Each start is an opportunity for evolution and it is the experience of the journey that shapes your life, rather than the finish line that you are heading to. Connect to the places and the people that are nurturing and filling: get outside… adventure with those who you love the most. Reengage with your life and find ways to keep that stoke alive until the end of the year.

---

Leo & Leo Rising

Courage lies in being transparent about the journey…

Leo and Leo Rising

Oyster ∞ Daughter of Pentacles ∞ Iolite Sunstone

Following a dream is inspirational. Having the chutzpah:- the supreme courage to believe in yourself, is an ignition that will light many fires to come. Keep in mind, though, that it takes work to keep a fire burning. It takes dedication to continue cultivating your passionate flame. You have something special to share, Leo, but it will require your full participation in the vision, and whole hearted commitment to believing in yourself and your dreams for the future. You’re a leader in the revolutionary, even if you don’t see yourself quite yet at the forefront. Your bravery will continue to show others how to push past their fears, and encourage them also to stand up for what they believe in. It’s okay to be vulnerable about being a beginner: the fact that you’ve even started is further then some people will ever get. With your keen perception, you will pave a path that people trust, but you must commit to working your way one step at a time.

---

Virgo & Virgo Rising

Your growth is showing…

Virgo and Virgo Rising

Dolphin ∞ Ace of Wands ∞ Sugilite

Such harmony in your reading dear Virgo! This next month appears to be abundant with life… fertile for all new growth from you and around you. Kim Krans points to an incoming blessing or birth on the horizon in both The Dolphin and Ace of Wands descriptions. Suglite and The Dolphin both encourage a deep dive into the watery depths of your being to discover your personal treasures. The message has been clear the last two months- you have the power to create magic and miracles, so make sure you are acting with right intention, and don’t catch the big wave until you know exactly how you plan to ride it. If you miscarry your power, from a place of pain rather than ownership, you reap the possibility of generating more harm than good in your own life and the delicate ecosystem around you.

---

Libra & Libra Rising

Let your intuition guide your true calling…

Libra and Libra Rising

Unicorn ∞ Son of Wands ∞ Mica

Libras, you are fired up this month: putting your heart and soul into a new and heartfelt vision. The Son of Wands enthusiastically chases a dream that is exciting, but none the less, like the Unicorn: elusive. The Son of Wands often reminds us of libra’s outgoing optimism… your charismatic demeanor can convince anyone that you’re on the right path, even if you don’t fully know where you are going. So grow with the flow this month. Even if something doesn’t turn out to be exactly what it seems, things happen to redirect your course in the right direction. Chalk up each new lesson as an opportunity: life happening for you rather than to you. You are on to something here, Libra, so open yourself up to each new opportunity and use your imagination to finish the mission. Mica supports you to find your true calling, and you will surely make that shit happen.

---

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising

A strong weave can hold bountiful blessings…

Scorpio and Scorpio Rising

Cheetah ∞ Eight of Pentacles ∞ Scolecite

Look at you Scorpio- crafting up a beautiful life of your own making… enlivening it with your energy and original flare. If you remember a moment in the past month, where you got very quiet and still with your own thoughts, and maybe heard a message encouraging you to sow deep seeds so that life’s erosion and necessary changes don’t hold you back from continuing your growth. That was your own magic foretelling the coming month when you get to see this new web you’ve woven of your life. When you witness the fountain of your wellspring overflowing with all the new things coming into your world right now. Put all the remaining pieces together, decide what is in alignment with the greater vision, and determine how your purpose and passion can continue to be the driving force that will make your wildest dreams come true.

---

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising

Learn the lyrics of your heart, then sing that truth from the rooftops…

Sagittarius and Sagittarius Rising

Nightingale ∞ Father of Swords ∞ Fuchsite

Fuchsite and the Nightingale both came with messages to reconnect with the heart, reunite it with the logistics of the mind and the healing power of the voice, respectively. As you head into March Sag, learn to trust your own intuition and recognize that any problems you might be facing are ones that you’ve already seen from all angels. Instead of trying to think your way out of it, feel into the right thing to do. Trust yourself to speak up for what you believe in and what you know to be true about the world from your expanded point of view. When your emotions are aligned with your vision, you’ll be singing the song of a beautiful life that everyone around you gathers to listen to.

---

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising

Sometimes magic is only seen through the eyes of its creator.

Capricorn and Capricorn Rising

Zebra ∞ Nine of Pentacles ∞ Agatized Shell

It would appear to the outside eye that you haven’t made a whole lot of changes since this time last month (when your March forecast was a similar read of Zebra and 10 of Pentacles), but let’s look at it from another point of view: yours. Do you feel different than last month Cap? That maybe, even if your life didn’t go through a revolution, you still feel quite different then you did just four weeks ago? Lavish Energy describes the Agatized Shell as a messenger of protection, a talisman of support. You are re-cultivating your life, after a month that maybe took you out of the game, and it’s okay for that to take time. Recognize how necessary last month actually was to rediscover what truly brings happiness into your life and joy into your home. Give these next few weeks your upmost care and attention. It is actually the epitome of work you love to do: finding new ways to connect, and create stability and sustainability for you and your loved ones. Take your next action in true Capricorn style, weaved with a lot of fun and for the good of everyone involved.

---

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising

Ride your intuition into the wild freedom of your heart space..

Aquarius and Aquarius Rising

Horse ∞ The High Priestess ∞ Rose Quartz

The Horse and the High Priestess read is very much like experiencing the fiery Aries energy stoked by the winds of Aquarius momentum… having to find balance between the yearning to be wild and free like the Horse, while still having an important responsibility to the current stillness that is the High Priestess. When the two are together, balanced and working well with one another… we witness the mystical priestess mounting the gallantly strong horse. Prepared to ride for a divine purpose of heartfelt integrity. That’s the magic that this Aries energy has in store for you. Rose Quartz is encouraging you to let love guide the way, and continue to come back to your own direct knowing and intuitive wisdom. Think about times when you felt most in your power. That is the energy that can be cultivated if you direct your passion, trust it to drive you, and then set it free to run wild.

---

Pisces & Pisces Rising

You are the elixir for temperate roads ahead…

Pisces & Pisces Rising

Fire Ant ∞ Temperance ∞ Wolframite

Temperance and the Fire Ant are both indicators of moderation. If the heat of this month is getting to you Pisces, then you must consistently find ways to cool yourself down. Regular cleansing and soothing will be beneficial, so engage in yin activities like meditation, restorative yoga, and/or a relaxing bath that will invoke lunar energies into your life. Direct your alone time to redefine your vision and discover new ways to tap into your will. Wolframite supports you in those softer hours, when you make space to dream up your reality and take time to be with the quieter voices of your spirit. Find the tools to ignite your fire in a way that is more sustainable and doesn’t burn you out so quickly. Whatever you need to find that balance Pisces, remember that the yin element of water is your gift to help you through any rough times ahead.

April Reading

Astrology Guided

March Astro Reading

Astrology is e a powerful tool to see how the macro energy of the cosmos aligns with the human happenings of our individual, microcosmic, journey. This year we’ve already witnessed a lot of “synchronicities” in how our planets are lining up with our regularly scheduled programming- the western calendar. Cosmic interference & existential support are amplifying the collective energy as we ebb and flow through the first months of this year, and the trend continues over the next few weeks… Early on in March we have a creative new moon in Pisces, Venus shifting into Aquarius, and Mercury going retrograde… and so it begins. Then halfway down the line we see a full moon on the same day the sun moves into the fires of Aries and we all experience an Equinox of either spring or fall depending on where you are in the world.. rounding out the month with a bang.

For more info from the professionals: Loving Light Astrologer: March

Below you will find a reading for the month of March for each astrological sign. Of course it is biased: in that it is one individual channel of interpretation and writing, but it is also sincerely honest in that a read with great care and sincere intention can support each and every person who reads this on the journey ahead. I truly believed in the cards and am trusting my intuition on this one. The spirit guided question: how can each one of us, influenced by the great cosmos of astrology, be our best selves, so that we can each participate in creating the best possible version of this world- together.

General Month Ahead for All Readers:

Six of Wands & Owl

This month, we in the western hemisphere, are beginning to shake off the cob webs of our winter hibernation and begin to emerge with the growing light of the sun. Many of us have experienced some pretty profound ‘dark nights of the soul’ this past season. Even if you haven’t been on a specific journey into the shadowy depths, we can all agree that the winter months are a good time for the inner work of deep contemplation… when we are encouraged to stay indoors, sit with ourselves, listen, and receive. A time to cocoon, if you will. The six of wands is a hopeful card of the imminent rising, the inevitable flight ahead, as we physically awaken from the darkness and experience more light. The owl is symbolic of the profound wealth we acquire by gaining wisdom. An animal of the night, the owl tells us that we have already learned so much through our pilgrimage into the mystery. We are so much wiser then before this journey began, and everything we have gone through along the way has been preparing us for what’s to come. So have no fear. March is a blessing, a large breath of fresh air. No more dwelling on what was, but instead look to the horizon and witness the powerful light growing in the sky. We are the beauty dawning with the sun.

Collective Spread

Owl & Six of Wands

Aries and Aries Rising:

The Emperor & Earthworm

The Emperor, often associated with Aries, offers the stability of the father and the sun… dependable and secure, he/she is a fiery leader who is passionate and driven. You may find yourself in new territory this month: the earthworm represents new beginnings and working your way from the ground up. As the days begin to lengthen, and we find our way towards spring, be intentional with what direction you’re heading. It is okay to take this month one day at a time, balancing your fiery nature with some intentional practices to ground. Take some time to put your feet on the earth, draw your strength from root to rise. Your innate nature will carry you through the crossroads while you navigate new spaces and take ownership of new roles you are stepping into. Be patient with yourself and try not to force anything to happen before its ready. You got this.

Taurus and Taurus Rising:

7 of wands & Crocodile

You have been receiving signs for a while that it is time to start trusting your gut and following your intuition, and this month is your opportunity to really do something about that. You are the only who knows what’s best for you. It is time to start listening to your heart and making choices that truly support your future. The crocodile is a messenger to take your energy back! To spend some time resting, rejuvenating, and refilling your reserves so that when the time is right to take the next steps… you will trust yourself enough to make the right decisions. Believe in your capabilities, dear Taurus. Your grounding energy may sometimes feel inflexible, but by softening into a routine of self care, you can bring organic movement back into your daily grind. One that feels natural and productive. Take your life back into your own hands. It’s all up to you.

Gemini and Gemini Rising:

Mother Of Cups & Elk

The mother of cups and the father of the earth animals has a message for you… while both are at similar stages of their lives, father and mother, they often understand life circumstance from very different angles. Such is the journey of the Gemini: two forces of energy, unique to their own, but walking a path together hand in hand. The dualistic power, is a gift of both charm and mystique, but conflicts can arise when the corresponding natures weave their own tale. The wholistic vision of the Gemini becomes lost to victimhood of their own circumstance. You are so in tune this month with the psychic powers of the mind, that sometimes you may feel misguided about what is real and what isn’t .. It will serve you well to connect with your most grounded nature. As you become more activated in the upper chakras, find a practice that takes you deep into the layers of the lower three- root, sacral, and solar. Always sending the heart energy into all spaces with your intention. Find a way to plant your roots strong so as you grow into a better you, your life becomes a dance of trees swaying in the wind: flexible, moving, but never breaking. This month you’ll access more, make sure you have a way to ground down all this new and important information.

Cancer and Cancer Rising

Judgement & Peacock

March looks to be a particularly influential month for you, Cancer. You’ve come to a point on the journey where its time to stand up and take ownership of who you are and how far you’ve come. Free yourself from whatever blame has been holding you back keeping you small, and rise up into your full potential. The world will never see how truly special you are, until you are ready to show us all the many various layers that make you so uniquely beautiful. Your past is part of your story, crab. Let it empower you and give you strength. There is no need to fear forgiveness, you don’t need to be afraid of letting go. This month is an opportunity to put all the pieces of yourself back together, or maybe realize that in actuality- you have been doing that work for some time now. Reward yourself for your efforts. You are a masterpiece, Cancer. Release the belief that you don’t deserve to be seen for all that you truly are.

Leo and Leo Rising

Justice & Black Egg

Abundant March will be rich in opportunities for self-expression, Leo. Make sure you are sharing from the truth of your own experience and communicating from a place of deep authenticity. People are listening, so use the spotlight as divine intervention to raise the vibration and amplify love into the collective frequency. Choices have consequences, actions create karma, and this month you will be asked time and time again to speak up, stand up, and use your lioness flare to make a difference in your world. Clear the channel of the throat chakra, have conversations with your breath to connect with intuition. Be very aware of what contracts you are saying yes to: remember that a verbal agreement is an energetic bind, and can often carry more influence then a paper with a signature. Become so genuine in what you stand for, that you are ready and waiting to take a stand when the universe beckons you to show up and speak up. Time to share your light, Leo.

Virgo and Virgo Rising

Four of Swords & Whale

Permission to take an entire month of self care Virgo. You have been riding a quick and sometimes aggressive wave and March is your time to get quiet, go inwards, and deep dive into the more mysterious currents of darkness and solitude. You might be feeling the tension on all sides, but the only thing to do in this situation is to become your own beacon of peace. Relearn yourself… reawaken the profound healing wisdom that is rooted in the most ancient memories of your soul. You have all the answers you seek, waiting for you to acknowledge them. Ready to hold you and embrace you with more love, more truth, and more of the pure essence of who you really are. Find solace in self care, strength in meditation, and so much compassion for all that you have already overcome on the journey.

Libra and Libra Rising

Father of Pentacles & Gazelle

This month you’re finding your flow as you hustle for a dream that brings balance to every area of your life. You know know that you’re capable of making it happen, but hesitation is a normal part of the process, especially with societal norms constantly telling us we’re not worthy of making our way doing what we love. It is a domineering voice of fearful leadership that doesn’t favor the unique mind, outspoken voice, and entrepreneurial way. Trust your instincts, Libra, and don’t be afraid of what people are saying. The truth is, most are admiring you for putting yourself out there: inspired by your courage and intuitive drive. When the mind starts running rampant, stirred by anxiety and vulnerability, engage in a practice that slows you down. Connecting with activities that feed your soul and nurture your body. Get out in nature, sleep in, move the body, or simply just take a moment to close your eyes and breathe deeply. You got this libra, you always do.

Scorpio and Scorpio Rising

Son of Cups & Sea Serpent

Perfectly in your water element Scorpio, Pisces season is feeling more familiar and homey. As you move into the currents of march, allow it to awaken your creative potential. Dive forward into artistic endeavors and rekindle the passionate relationship you have with this abundant energy. Take some time in March to get back to your craft. Your ingenuity is fertile, so nurture the growth and allow yourself to blossom. The water element is your gift, Scorpion. Claim it. Allow it to cleanse you, heal you, and awaken you to everything that you truly are. This month is beckoning you to refill your cup until it overflows into the wellspring of your life. Reflect, introspect, and embrace the emotional waves. March will be bountiful, so create more beauty, more love, and more respect for your infinite potential.

Sagittarius and Sagittarius Rising

The Lovers & Spider

This month highlights the importance of your intimate affairs. Reminding you that your partnerships and relationships must be a strong, supportive thread in the vast intricate weaving of your life. Take an intentional look at the people you surround yourself with. Recognize which ones are lifting you up and helping make your web more stable, and who is leaving some big empty holes: voids that weigh you down and leave you feeling insecure. Nurture the connections that make you feel good… spend this month basking in the flow of relationships that are truly loving and supportive. Always remind yourself how fun it is to have a partner walking beside you on your journey, and to never take a moment like this for granite. Squeeze the friendly hands holding your own as you follow your path, make sure they know how much you truly appreciate the ones who have helped you find your way.

Capricorn and Capricorn Rising

10 of Pentacles & Zebra

The cards are forecasting a good month ahead for you, dear Capricorn. Rounding out the journey of the pentacles signifies fulfillment in the familiar element of earth. Caps innately bear this grounding energy, and the pentacle suit is a messenger of material worth and how stable we feel on this earthly plane. It looks like March will be a beautiful reminder of all you can achieve when you’re on the right path and taking action that supports you on the way.. It’s time to expand your vision and open your heart to all that is possible when you are in a good place in your life and trusting yourself to take care of your needs. Find a routine that supports you to feel grounded, but not stuck: stable, but not incapable. You have the ability to create everything you’ve ever dreamed of, so find ways to be inspired, and stoke your actions with your passions. Remember that your life is a masterpiece, and you are the artist bringing it all into being.

Aquarius and Aquarius Rising

The World & Snake

Just when you find yourself at the end of a journey, feeling fulfilled and complete in your mission: you remember that nothing is ever truly ending, but instead propelling you into the next phase of your evolution. That is the message of this next month, Aquarius. You have come so far, accomplished so much, but just as the Ouroboros symbolizes the continued cycles of life, you must always be prepared and ready for what’s waiting for you on the other side. The snake is a powerful symbol of your potential to awaken more and more to the truth of who you are. Shed your old skins and transform your outdated and limiting beliefs. You have attained great wisdom through this journey and you have acquired so many more tools. Remember you have all you need to for the next turn in the road. March is your month of fulfillment. Tap into the magic that lives inside your sheaths and unfurl the potential of your soul.

Pisces and Pisces Rising

8 of Pentacles & Dragonfly

We are all experiencing the whimsical vibes of the Pisces season, and you dear one are using this elusive time to light up your creative potential and conjure some very specific magic in your life. Pay close attention to your dreams, and recognize the power of the subconscious mystery to awaken new gifts and provide unique insights. Dedicating your waking hours to the craft that holds the most meaning to you. As the mind ebbs and flows this month in and out of awareness, it is your purpose and your passion that will keep you coming back to the things that matters most. You will discover those activities that not only bring fulfillment to your life, but also to all those you encounter on the path ahead. The dragonfly, ever-moving, may be symbolic of the mind feeling pulled in many different directions. Recognize when you experience lucidity in your movement, when the clarity feels natural even when things are shifting. That is your genius, and you are so close to mastery.

March Reading

Astrology Guided

Sacred Sacral

How's everyone doin out there? Anyone else feeling this collective clearing happening around their sacral chakra? I've been experiencing it the last two weeks or so, electrified by this full moon eclipse wave we're riding. Not just in my own body either, but also in the various fields of energy bodies I've been working with, and I’ve heard other practitioners echo similar readings...

A lot is moving through this sacral space: old memories resurfacing, wounds breaking open, our emotions asking for attention and deeper healing. Energetically speaking, this chakra is home to the element of water, and choreographs how harmoniously we go with the flow. It is the realm of our relationships and our emotions: those deep wells of feelings that undulate with everything and everyone that we are in relation with. It is also the space of creation and expansion: for all human beings. The energy that allows us to grow more then just our offspring, but also ALL of the seeds of our intentions and inspirations. The sacral chakra is what holds and nourishes our ideas until we are ready to birth them into the world.

Sacral Chakra | Sea Serpent

The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit Deck

I’m sensing major trauma coming up for evacuation. I'm talking: stuff from this life, but also a lot of past life stuff moving as well. Some of it is our own, but a lot of it is ancestral and collective wounding that we are actively clearing as a macrocosm. I know most are experiencing it in the 3D realm, and for me it is also increasingly apparent while in deep meditation and dreaming states. Old relationships have been resurfacing for people, both good and bad. There’s been a general feeling of overwhelm and anxiety thats left a lot not feeling like themselves. Exhausting emotions of unworthiness and sadness have also been weighing heavily. Some of us have also been experiencing pain in the physical body of the sacral chakra as well: low back, sciatica & psoas flares. Lower belly cramps and womb pain, stiff hips and creaky joints. Full on clearings of the greater energetic channel with vomiting and no appetite to take in food. I’ve also, personally, been noticing a stagnation in my own creativity and an inability to flow with a more aligned rhythm.

The good news, though, is that all of this is coming up to be PURGED. To move the energy up and out of the sacral container for good. A rapid and potent squeegeeing of older, denser energy so that this next wave of expansion can open our portals of creative force. The seeds we have been planting will soon be (and some already are) receiving more & more room to grow with this amplification, so lets be courageous in our action of release, and create some intentional space for the prana to move. We have to let the old stuff go with this flow.

Energetic Care

You can support your energy body in a lot of really simple ways:

Spend some time putting your hands on your lower belly. Close your eyes and take a couple long, slow and intentional deep breathes through the nose. Your hands have their own smaller energy grids that extend from the center of the heart. Give yourself your own medicine by holding loving intentions in your mind and putting your hands on your body with an affirmation of healing. Be open to movement, allow yourself to feel. You might even say to yourself:

“I am free to let go. I move with the flow. I am ready to grow.”

It's a nice practice to lay down on some padding, with your spine on the floor and feet planted, knees bent. Hands can again be on the belly, as you begin to feel into a few mindful, supine pelvic tilts. Windshield wiper your knees, butterfly them open and closed, draw them in circles around your body. Twist, and release. Soften. Flow with the rhythm of your breath. Move gently. This is a moving meditation, so allow yourself time & space to soothe the sacral chakra and enjoy movements and moments that feel good.

Herbal Support

Herbs that support the sacral chakra (check with your doctor for questions):

ginger, cardamom, nettles

cinnamon, red clover, orange peel,

chamomile, hibiscus, angelica root.

In general warm and soothing herbs.

Give nourishment and space to your body so it is fertile for all the seeds about to bloom. Just like the earth is seeding its soil, recognize that you are also now growing your dreams and expanding your energy. Take the time you need, and then start doing. Do all the things that make you feel really good. Allow yourself to play, and explore… be curious, and fluid. Begin cultivating the ways in which you are looking to blossom. What have you been growing your wings for? Where do you want to dive more into your own craft? Start stoking that fire. There's a lot of good we can all do when we've nurtured our bodies and followed a path that feeds us more of our own good energy. In this practice we begin to emit a more positive vibration (vibe) that is felt within the COLLECTIVE frequency. So ground your energy. Do what you need to do to feel more like yourself. And then open up to accepting that spark in your sacral field. We will all soon be able to hold more of the electricity that fires our creative bodies. So care for the is energy now, while all this old stuff is clearing out new space for us to grow into, and then be ready for full speed ahead. May we all expand with the rays of the coming sun.

Grow Where You Flow

Pillow Talk

Do you ever find yourself lying awake at night with thoughts of other people tossing and turning you to restlessness? Replaying interactions, contemplating relationships, pondering earlier conversations... Noticing that the stress of other people's "stuff" is invading your dream space and infiltrating your time to rest and digest. If this sounds familiar, you might not be setting clear boundaries. I'm not talking about the boundaries you set with other people, either: I'm talking about the boundaries you set with yourself.

It is, of course, very important to be honest and transparent with those in your life. To offer very clear communication of your needs in the relationship, as well as straightforward parameters about where they fit in to your journey. It is also just as important to draw those lines for your own personal psyche.

For example, if you invite a guest over to your home, they are likely free to roam around the living room, hang out in the kitchen, and explore other common areas of your abode. However, the idea of your guest walking into your bedroom without an invitation, rifling through your closet without permission, crawling into your bed and curling underneath your sheets: would likely feel like a huge violation of privacy. Am I right? So, if you feel uncomfortable with someone's physical presence invading your personal space, then why are you inviting their energetic presence to sing the nightly lullaby you fall asleep to?

The place we lay our heads at night is our own personal wellness incubator: providing safe space for the body to release, the mind to unload, and the soul to float with freedom. When we invite other people into this healing ritual, we are consciously choosing to take precious time away from our own restoration. We are allowing someone else to receive the medicine of our nightly self care.

Time to set some boundaries!

If you are always restless over someone else's opinion, shaken awake by your anxiety over the relationship, exhausted from picking up all the bull shit they've left around for you to clean, then it's time to kick em' out of the bedroom. Leave that energy in the living room, or the kitchen. Leave it in your office and file it under- things to deal with on Thursday. I promise, if it's really important, it will be there for you to deal with when the time is right. And if it really is meaningful for you to work through, then it is actually more respectful to address the situation after a full night's incubation in your bedicine.

Oh and here's another idea, especially for those constantly being bombarded with someone else's crap: take a walk out your back door, head over to the dumpster, lift up the lid and toss it. There are very few reasons to carry around someone else's garbage. And maybe, if you make the conscious decision to stop hauling other people's stuff around for them, they might just finally learn to start taking out their own trash one day.

Side note: even with daily intention, there can be certain circumstances where someone's energy continues to sneak into bed with you at night. If you find yourself in this situation, you might want to take a closer look at the dynamics of that particular relationship. This requires deep introspection to decide how important it is for your own well-being to let go, all together, of that person's energetic and physical presence in your life. It might not be an easy decision, but I promise if you sleep on it, you'll find the right answer eventually.

Don’t Give Up the Fight

I came home from an enlightening workshop on Yoga for Mental Health to hear the news about yesterday’s shooting in Florida, unamused that I had spent the day soaking in this wealth of information that is surely one solution to this growing instance of community wide massacre. I spend so much of my time as an adult in yoga studios. I spent so much of my time as an adolescent inside the spiritual container of a synagogue. Two places I’ve always considered to be extensions of my home: safe spaces of community, healing, growth. Places where we can connect with each other, connect with ourselves, and sometimes even connect to something much, much greater. These structures, built on a foundation of good intention, now resonate with a vibration of pain and disbelief. It is in these moments when I feel so lost, with no explanation as to what was true for those who caused such evil, that I always must come back to the written word. It’s important for me to process and understand, to clarify and mend my own broken heart. So I write, and I write, and eventually come to a conclusion about some of the things I know to be true for me…

Last weekend I gathered with close friends for a music festival in Florida called Suwannee Hulaween. In my experience, It was a pivotal moment in history. Fully unraveling the great mystery of that potent gathering is undeniably taking some time and energy, but it is effort I am so willing to give in honor of such a transformational experience. I'd never felt something this big, never tangibly witnessed an instance of such incredible importance. It was, in fact, the inklings of these feelings cultivated at other festivals and celebrations, that allowed me to truly recognize this poignant wrinkle in time. For a moment, I felt absolutely everything: the intention of the gathering, the energy of the people, the message of the bands, the frequency of the land. It was all powerful and all seeing when I let the moments wash over me and awaken parts of my soul calling out for answers. It was here I fully embraced my truth. Recognized it it as the essence of my life here, honored it as the truest remembrance of who I am. It was a moment to really FEEL the reality of our times, and the clear shift transporting us into a new realm of our human experience. 

It was Saturday night: “Get up, Stand up. Stand up for your rights.” These words resonated thousands and thousands of voices, the message: an electric impulse charging the hearts of all who were there to behold. Feeling, at its core, the true hope that carried Marley forward in his unwavering belief and empowering calls to action. And here we were again, echoing his sentiments to rise up and be the change. I've always known The String Cheese Incident was an epic band, but it was this profound weekend that I had the privilege to see that they are so much more then music makers. That these individuals bring people together for a cause that is greater than a just good time. Greater then their impeccable groovy tunes, their incredible stage presence, and truly unique group of people they gather. They are our leaders, paving the way towards a new earth. A place where we all stand together in solidarity for the good we truly believe in. These are men of influence: using their power for good. Promoting a movement that celebrates love, welcomes community, and gathers tribes for righteous creation and collective collaboration. We live in a world where only an elite few stand on a platform with the world listening, and it is these particular leaders who choose to use their influence to inspire liberation rather then concentrate manipulation. In a time when so many of us are searching for honest guidance, they used their moment of visibility to shine a light on truth and remind us that we are stronger together: united and fighting for a common cause.

The news of the Pittsburgh shooting was waiting for me on the other end of this journey. I turned on my phone to an outpouring of kind words from friends who knew that this devastation would surely hit close to home. This time, it was my Jewish community on the receiving end of hate, and the atrocity was achingly palpable. Hearing one women’s journey of escaping mass persecution to find her life inevidably culminate in death by that same ignorance: I absolutely felt the weight of this tragedy. However, it was no more conflict then the pain my heart feels every time I hear another countless instance of other human beings attacked, murdered, and disposed of for the simple act of being who they are. Maybe even this time, since the skin color of those who fell was white, it would open the eyes of some of those who had previously not been able to see. That none of us are immune from this growing polarity of fear. FEEL it. We are witnessing it every day. History is being written, and we can choose to be a part of how this all goes down on paper, but only if we remember that we are ALL in this together.

There was a gathering to honor those 11 lives lost at the synagogue I grew up in. More people showed up to this service then have likely ever stepped foot in that building before. In my mother's exact words, it was "a kaleidoscope of colors, races, and religions. It felt really good." FELT really good. Because what are we if we don’t feel the weight of the world with our fellow humans? Who are we if we can not come together in solidarity to honor this beautiful blessing that is our life? This is what Suwanee Hulaween was to me. This is what it meant. When we gather, for the sake of love, to influence and alchemize the world’s unattended to hate.

It is in our darkest hour, when we truly see the brilliance of a small beacon of light. We are grasping for truth under a pillar of darkness, being led to believe that only a certain few can flip the switch and turn the lights on. Don't let them fool you. Your voice begs to differ. Call out to me in the blackest of nights, and I will know then that I’m not alone. Fill the fearful void of silence, with your truth and heartfelt words, and suddenly I will see more then I've ever seen before. Once we raise our voices together, we shatter the constructs of a world built to keep us in hiding. Our declarations of change are our verbal agreement to fight for an earth that honors the beautiful kaleidoscope of human kind.

Get up. Stand up. Stand up for YOUR RIGHTS. Gather together, feel the truth in your heart, and vote for the good fo all. Its truly only up to us now.

Rekindle

Heading out to Burningman this year, I've felt a unique energy in the air: a new sensation pulsating through the community. For me, its expressing as a readiness to come together in new way. I hear a call to organize under a brand new light. This light being a culmination of many earthly experiences, but also an electric reflection of the higher spirit, who helped plug us all into this rare life force to begin with. Larry Harvey, the star traveler, who came together with his human community, and built all of us who were seeking: a new home. A place where we could all go, and discover a revolutionary way of being human.

Year after year we come together for a cause that isn't simply about building, but is in truth: a movement of dissolution. Mistaken for idolatry by some who haven't immersed themselves honestly in the culture, this coming together is in actuality an evolution in how we pray. Where we don't worship the power of erected human creation, but instead honor the truth of our fragile humanity. To witness structures: generated by love, dedication, and life force of widespread intricate communities, fall so effortlessly to dust: it is, at the core, a remembrance of who we are.

Swimming in the collective consciousness, is this idea that Larry Harvey created a new species. A new way of being human. A seed of an idea that when watered by his community grew into the most beautifully elaborate family tree that looks like none other we'd ever seen. Branches weaved from many lineages, leaves that grew and fell into exotic seedlings: alien to most other species previously erected on this earth. A tribe smitten with the experience of burning "The Man", a symbol we each had a hand in creating. A logo that we all wear, walking on this earth in the modern age.

They call us burners; those who come together for the sole purpose of burning things down. The element of fire, symbolizing: transformation, change, revolution. What is a burner if not simply a person coming together with their community to light a stagnant world on fire? To be the ignition to their own evolution. To spark change in the society they rose from.

In momentary hesitation, I questioned what connection this year's theme of I-Robot would have with the sudden passing of such an incremental pivot point to a clock of civilization. Where would we find space to connect with spirit, in the expansive playing field of massive robotic toys? Will there be room for sacred conversation? Time to pay our necessary respects, while being inundated with the newsfeed of technical advances? Will we have the opportunity to truly honor Larry Harvey, and all those who laid the foundation of our past, when the intention weaved into this gathering is for the celebration of our future?

My fear dissipated once I saw the idea for this year's theme illustrated so clearly on the 2018 ticket. Adorned so beautifully in the dichotomy of our world. A curious robotic hand, reaching out to connect with the symbol of evolution. The butterfly: a tribute to transformation. When I really think about it, I recognize that technology allows us a means of congregating like we never have before. Diving into our social medias and 'connecting' by way of electrical reverence, we have never been able to relate on such a broad scale. Isn't robotics, in truth, what we as a collective now pray to? Devote our time and give our energy to every single day? We sanctify more moments to looking at our phones then we offer to in person conversation and real life stimulation. Technology IS sacred. We have found faith by redirecting power, literally, into our own hands.

Larry Harvey is Burningman. His energy infused into its creation. He literally gave his life, to building something new. The conclusion I've come to is that this year's theme, like many other things, is no accident. That as we continue evolving in our human awakening, understanding the truth of who we are,  we must give our lives to what we create. We must bring our sacred connection to this world in a way that we have never previously experienced. We are the electric pulse that can very literally change the frequency of our earth. I have learned so much from my time on the playa. Gained so much from the community it has allowed me to build. Embedded now in our consciousness, is the gifts we've discovered in the dust. We are going home this year, radiating in new light.

As the theme of I, Robot is described on Burningman.Org, "Having out-sourced our minds, we might choose to out-source our selves. Who doesn’t want a friend who mirrors one’s own opinion of one’s self? Already it appears we may be moving in this direction."

Larry Harvey, all those we've loved and lost, will be reflected all around us. We will see them, literally, right in front of us in the structures we erect, the robots we build, the ashes where we all eventually will fall. I'm praying for a new earth: robotics ritualized in divine resonance, wholly sanctified in our collective, electric heartbeat. One collaborative conscious that pulsates revolutionary life force back into our world.

Sending love to everyone on their journey home. May we all remember who we are, where we came from, and all that we have the power to be. 

Eliana: Wellness Weaver

Introduction:

Wellness has always been a main topic of conversation in my household. I learned about the world of healthcare, listening to my parents recount their workdays seeing patients and running wellness programs. My father, a physician of Allergy and Asthma, taught me from a young age how to work hard and find meaning in my daily grind by helping others. At age 77, he is still in practice, working hard to make a difference in the world. I grew up watching my mother run the first residential/day treatment for those with traumatic brain injuries in northern Nevada. I spent most of my after-school hours at her clinic: supporting other kids and adults with disabilities. I was reminded, daily, how lucky I was to be alive. I knew very early on that I would always use that knowing to help others. My mom is a healer: a therapist, and she was also a boss: a leader. She serves the world from a place of compassionate care, and she has always shown me how to be an advocate for those who were often unable to be that for themselves.

These teachings all came full circle when I was diagnosed with auto-immune disease at age 12. Ulcerative Colitis: a chronic condition in which my immune system: my body’s armor and safeguard, the system that's prime purpose is to protect and serve my human form, rebelled and began attacking my body instead. I had always been on the same side as the medicine people, and then I suddenly found myself as the one needing intense care. I spent my free time in hospitals, at appointments, traveling to other states for specialized doctors. A lot of days were spent in bed, and near a toilet. Normalcy became taking 30 pills a day to feel just: okay, but never safe enough to fully relax and take a an honest breath. Now, I count my blessings that I only need to give myself a shot in the thigh every two weeks.

Today, I look back on my life with incredible gratitude. I recognize: to become a healer, I had to learn what it means to heal. I would need to understand the cloak of darkness that an illness can veil over one's life. How physical pain, is tangibly mirrored in emotional wounding and mental illness. How my disease seemed to echo hardships onto every single person who loved me. I learned that illness isn’t at all black and white. That our body cannot heal if our mind is in dis-ease, and that our mind requires strength of our body to carry out it's dreams, goals and achievements. It has taught me that healing of mind, body, AND soul will, for many of us, be a life-long journey. 

 I've learned from my own experience, that with practice: we can begin to walk the empowering journey of reclaiming our health and happiness. It takes work and dedication, but in the end, we discover that each of us is responsible for weaving our own version of holistic wellness. 

Body:              

  Our pasts weave a strong theme in our story-line. For me, it made sense to immerse myself in the teaching of health: a study that allowed me to help others, and provided wisdom to put my own pieces back together. I received a Bachelors in Community Health Sciences, focusing on health communication. I then went on to complete a Master’s in Public Health, emphasizing Health Promotion and Behavioral Sciences.  As yoga had always been an important medicine for me, I immersed myself in multiple summer and winter series through my universities to deepen my practice and expand my understanding. I went on to write my graduating thesis on yoga interventions in the workplace. I had always desired to share this moving meditation with the world, it had always served as a close friend on my journey. In 2014, I completed my first yoga teacher training in San Diego, CA. This past year, I completed a second YTT  through Portland’s very own: Yoga Refuge.  Here I learned from a collective of very wise and knowledgeable teachers including Kate Sanderson- Holly, Todd Wilson, Emily Light, Fawn Williams, Kelly Sunrose, and Julianna Scholl-Wallace.  

                Continuing my journey of holistic wellbeing, I dove into other ways of therapeutic learning. In 2015 I enrolled in David Frawley’s American Institute of Vedic Studies to certify as an Ayurvedic life-style consultant, and I received certification as a Health and Wellness Coach through Wellcoaches of America. In Portland I trained with one very holy medicine woman, Tatianna Sakurai, to receive certification in Lightwork- Energy Healing, and discovered very quickly that these teachings didn’t only serve my personal wellbeing, but also greatly supported my coaching conversations with clients. Through my immersions with a true devotee to the feminine awakening, Sedona Soulfire, I've learned the sacred undulation of my female form. I've learned to dance in true surrender to the raw power of my sensuality, and open myself to unchartered devotion in this work of embodied prayer. I immersed myself in two quarters of the Goddess Rising Mystery School’s Moon Sisters Temple where I learned the teachings of ceremony, initiation, and sisterhood. My relationship with Kundalini Yoga began here as well. For the first time in my life I took on a daily practice: committing at first only to 40 days. As of today (June, 2018) I've only missed three days in a little over 222. Full circle, I'm now practicing Kundalini with one of my very first yoga mentors: Chelcy Pine, who also owns a card company I recently started writing for called: Poetic Pulse. I have a long history with doctors, but have found some of the most therapeutic benefits working consistently with my favorite witch doctor, Jenna Bowers. She has held space for me to unravel some of the darkest layers of my psyche and infused those empowered weaknesses with the pure light force of her magic. It's something special when you're taken gracefully through some of the oldest corridors of memory and illusion: often times these guide become not just a mentor, but also a friend.

Through this journey I discovered true, lasting restoration. I learned that a trusted guide with honest intention, can help us unlock our own greatest power of healing, not just for ourselves: but for others, as well. By seeking guidance, I'm learning how to offer it. By listening, reading, reflecting, and integrating, I'm developing my own wellness practice so that I may be a leader for others on a similar journey.

Conclusion:

I have been on a lifelong exploration of the healing arts. It's what gives me purpose and energy to show up every day. My curiosity is wisdom, and I have an unquenchable thirst to learn the inner-weavings of our mind, body, and soul. My word, always, my wand: my tool: my craft.  My way of breathing, interacting with the world around me, conversing with something greater then myself. 

Eliana, in Hebrew, means; spirit has answered me. While my parents had their own reasons for my naming, to me: it's a totem of my soul's incantation. My north star dedicated to guiding me home. My hope is that through my own inquisition, I may provide some insight for your own questions and curiosities. I know that through this exchange I will also be able to learn from you, too. Reach out, connect, and be- well.
