Self-Care During the Holiday Season (a gentle perspective shift)

If there’s something about this season that doesn’t work for you, then gently think about how you could create your own forms of magic, reverence, and meaning this December.

How can you be a good friend to yourself and witness your journey? How might you create your own ritual or tradition around whatever holds meaning for you? How might you set a monthly intention that resonates with the visions you hold in your heart?

Small moments of meaning create a bigger composition of living in a way that feels authentic, real, and true to ourselves, and that is always meaningful...”

Grace, Growth and Gratitude: lessons on the journey

It’s a cooler day on the island and I’ve found myself in a varied place as we step through November.

Busy with responsibilities, in a way that feels productive and kind. Thoughtful with reflection, as I begin to do what I always do around this time each year –

Slowly take stock of what the past eleven months have brought and contemplate the changes rendered as we begin the initial stages of descent drawing us closer to the conclusion of another calendar year.

Truth be told, I haven’t always liked the lessons the past couple of years have brought, but I am trying to embrace and integrate them, so I can move forward with the wisdom learned…

September Akashic Magic: Grounded Actions, Strategic Steps

“All systems go” is what I'm hearing. And there is a sense that with that, there have been many shifts and changes for many of those listening to this throughout the year of 2023.

And I'm almost seeing these images of columns, like if it was a graphic in a video game, or something like that - it's like it’s coming through like Tetris, and you have been trying to stack blocks or do something in a way that adds up. And all of a sudden, all this space is cleared -

I'm feeling a sense of breakthrough coming through…

December Akashic Magic: On the Threshold

For December of 2022, The Records opened this month with quite a bit of imagery. The first image I saw was of a big winter storm blowing through.

Then I saw a scene where the storm had passed - the snowplows had come and the roads had been cleaned - now it's safe to come out of the shelters. I then saw kids sledding and everybody enjoying the sense of freshly fallen snow.

There was a sense that the emphasis of The Records was on that moment in between the winter storm where the snow has piled up and that anticipation of when you are about to switch and shift into that new scene and I saw the words 'new doorway' and 'on the threshold' come through for the month of December…

September Akashic Magic: New Vantage Point

As the Records were opening, I had a sense of circular movement.

And I saw the words ‘full circle’ flash, and at first full circle felt a little bit like a roundabout, and then the image shifted slightly.

It felt more like a spiral - like coming back around to something again, and what it felt like was an upward spiral - almost as if you are moving up a huge parking garage going into spirals, or maybe a giant spiral staircase, and you're able to look down at something from a new vantage point…

Finding Perspective in Challenge & Change

I once wrote the words March comes with a side dish of chaos. For whatever reason, I’ve found this to be true across the years.

Maybe it’s because March is named after the God of War, Mars, and Mars energy is typically fiery, willful, and can be conflict-oriented.

Maybe it’s because March hosts the vernal equinox and there’s a hectic rush of energy as the earth makes her final preparations to awaken and birth us into spring’s cycles…

March Akashic Magic: New Ground

The Records opened with an image ROTC Changing of The Guard; there’s some sort of honor guard and then there’s a peaceful transition of power, but it felt very peaceful and this feels very symbolic.

As I saw the honor guard marching, a new one taking their place and coming out, they were exchanging flags; the words which came up were “new regime” followed by the words “a new order” and “changing of the guard.”

And what I’m hearing is “a shift has occurred”…

Finding Home: journeying back to ourselves

There is something about this time of year that always tugs at my soul.

When I left Alaska back in 2016 I knew that mid-August into September would always make my heart ache for my first home.

There’s something that’s a mix of magic and poignancy about the way the tundra begins to turn cranberry and the leaves go from verdant green to an olive that foreshadows the yellow to gold to bronze soon to come…

The Red Paint of Reinvention: permission to redefine ourselves

Seems like I blinked and summer was almost gone.

June and July melted into a buttered blur or moving into our new home, decorating aforementioned new home, and allowing space for renewal, retreat, and respite after a difficult spring leading up to the move.

During this time I’ve painted the hallway green, hung pictures with precision and artful care, and sat in our yard, watching the sky turn from blue to orange each night at sunset…

Rose Gardens in The Stars (let your dreams be limitless)

Whatever it is that you’re dreaming about- - dream bigger.

Don’t waste time thinking about how it’s going to happen or if it’s possible or how you will get there- - just start by dreaming. \

Start by allowing yourself to imagine something beyond what you have previously imagined. Start with the seed of a rose and imagine planting an entire garden…

We Are The Revolution: Choosing Love One Act at a Time

Choose love.

It is the only choice you will make that will change your life for the better forever, because love is the origin of every good thing. And so, each time we choose love, we open ourselves up to that nucleus of goodness; everything else beautiful flows from there.

Learn to embody love’s universal energy inside of yourself; wrap it around you like a psychic shield which gently radiates presence and protection wherever you go…

July 2021 Akashic Magic: Upward Spiral

The records opened with two different images: the first one was being on a rollercoaster and slowly going up - and the second one was of ocean waves - giant ocean swells that are rising up.

And, the energy behind that had a sense of upward mobility, upward rising and a sense that the energy itself is swelling.

So, let’s dive into that and explore what it means further…

Darkness Is Magic Too

People often say, “let it go, move forwards, it’s time to put the past behind you, all we have is now.”

But it is my observation this can be hard to do when the past continues to creep into our “now” like vines of ivy stealthily twining themselves around the present moment if we aren’t vigilant about trimming them back.

Layers of grief, trauma, and ancient history from previous heart cycles and incarnations of self like to burrow into the recesses of our psyche…

Moving in The Direction of Love

I woke up this morning with a quiet heart, who grew heavy when I saw the headlines and reports of more rioting and violence in the United states of America.

The household was quiet—for once I managed to sneak out of the bedroom without waking the cat or the dog (both who can be quite high needs first thing in the morning), made myself a cup of coffee, and sat down on my meditation pillows as I contemplated life and watched night’s ink sky begin to streak with dawn’s silver and gray.

I lit candle. Burned a little juniper. Put my hand on my heart, opened myself to spirit…
