Moon Reading: New Moon in Cancer
Happy New Moon in Cancer!!! The moon is resting comfortably in her own sign so breath in vibrations of release and being held. Many parts of life are beginning to reopen and the N.

Release Resistance to Change
Breathe through it bb, let it go....
Significant spiritual growth may feel like a mini death and in a lot of ways it is. As we grow and change, old parts of us, outdated patterns, friends, environments and old desires shift as well.

A Memorial Day Spent in Remembrance
This here goddess was raised in a military family so YEA I have some mixed feelings when it comes to Memorial Day. I’m one part free spirit and one part “a loudspeaker bugle reveillere was my alarm clock”. The duality is certainly becoming more apparent as I age into what I can only assume will be the beloved but weird “Old Healing Lady on the Edge of Town.”

Treat Yourself Like A Friend Already!
If you're constantly scraping the bottom of your energy barrel you normalize depletion and exhaustion to the ones around. We all know what happens when you try to give more than you ACTUALLY have to give: you quickly burn out, you grow resentful and your sparkle fades.
Semi Woo Moon Reading: New Moon in Aries

IN FACT Aries is pouring so much energy and spark into the mix that you currently might even feel agitated or like you’re already behind. Don’t fall into the trap!
A Spring Break Recharge
Honoring the human need for sun on skin, eyes on Mother Earth.
See you next week for meditation practice on Sun April 18th, live from Charleston, SC and Wednesday April 21 for Creative Outlet.
Quick Start Meditation Practice
When it comes to meditation practice, I like to just go ahead and build in the part where thoughts and distractions compete for my attention. That way, I'm not so hard on myself when I inevitably lose my focus!
Infusing self-compassion into your meditation practice is key. As you get more familiar with the power of silence and calm, remember to stay kind, light and curious with yourself.
