Collective Reading December 31- January 6: Let Go of Control

Welcome to the new year! This week, we are overcoming any reservations and just going for it. There is this sense of divine timing that will brook no excuses. Be prepared for every attempt to halt progress to be overwhelmed by the momentum, like a stream overflowing its banks.

In other words, what you have been wanting all this time has been coming to you, and if you are afraid of it happening, now is the time to face that fear and choose the good thing anyway. What you want wants you just as badly as you have wanted it. Might as well honor your deep desires, since they haven’t gone away. Closing your eyes and pretending you have no desires is not going to make them actually go away.

No matter how impossible your dreams feel, no matter what evidence there is against them, there is so much more evidence that they are possible. Your blindness to it is serving no purpose. Do you have the courage to open your eyes and truly see?

The Universe has some advice for how to choose truth instead of fear. When you start to ruminate on how your dreams are impossible, stop and go back to the feeling of the dream coming true. If you can find the stillness, you will stop creating resistance, and the Universe will work everything out that much easier. Not everything is in your hands.

You have been so used to the idea that you could ruin everything. Consider the feeling of powerlessness as a sign that making it work is not your job. Start trusting that there are powerful forces on your side doing the heavy lifting. It’s okay to let go of control and just feel peace.

If you are in the habit of making New Year’s resolutions, I suggest making a simple resolution to feel good. If you want peace, feel what peace feels like inside yourself regardless of the situation. If you want success, feel satisfied with what is going right, no matter how small.

“Overthinking is underfeeling.” Get out of your head and honor your heart. Let the rest sort itself out and put your energy into the next right step.

Collective Reading December 24-30: Accumulate Success

The image coming up is that of the mythical Labyrinth of King Minos, and Theseus going into the center to slay the Minotaur. You have journeyed into your own labyrinth, facing dark and twisting corridors filled with horrors, and now that you have slain the Minotaur and prevented others from falling victim to it, you doubt your path out.

Any attempts to remain grounded have been met with your fear of what has already happened. Is it still present? Will it happen again? How will you survive it repeating? To which the Universe is saying, “You have already gotten rid of the root problem.” Yes, there are battles to be fought and won still, but let’s look at what you have going for you in all this.

Theseus made his way out of the Labyrinth using a magical ball of string. Your ball of string is the golden thread of abundance that has always been with you. Even in your darkest hour. Stop justifying your fears with all the evidence of the bad things. When you feel badly, your mind wants to fill in the details with reasons as to why. To start feeling good, retell the story of the hard times, using all the good things that happened. Keep practicing gratitude. The fact is that even when you have been at your worst, there has ALWAYS been something to be grateful for. And the Universe has said this a million times if it has said it once: there is a golden thread of good fortune through every experience and every awful thing you remember. The mere fact of your existence now is proof that you have had enough to survive up to this point, and not only that, you have gained. You took this journey for a reason, and that reason was enough to justify the hard parts. Trust that it is more than worth it. But also, you feel bad now because you have needs and wants to attend to. How can you go about doing so?

It’s okay to want something so badly that you eat, sleep, and breathe that desire. Just be sure to check in with why you want it. Let’s illustrate with an example. If you want financial security in order to feel loved, maybe what you want is two-fold, and maybe you’re starting at the wrong end. Somehow, feeling unloved became entangled with feeling financially insecure. Now that you’ve tasted financial security, which you have busted your butt to get (I see you, you amazing human), you’re finding that it doesn’t hold the core of your desire for emotional security. And you may be wondering why you’re unsatisfied still.

Wanting financial security isn’t wrong; it’s part of your birthright. Keep it going, and start adding emotional security to it. You have taken care of yourself when others would not, and you’ve done a better job than they ever did. This is a form of emotional security you have given yourself, in that you promised yourself something and followed through on it. Give yourself credit. Celebrate your win, even in a small and quiet way, alone. A helpful mantra: “I am enough for myself.”

The greatest thing you can do to attract people who will love you the way you need it is to hold that love for yourself and choose to see and accept it as enough–for now. Then pursue meeting this need more, in a way that makes sense, not out of desperation but from a place of confidence, knowing that you have met the surface need fantastically well. Why not add to the accomplishments you already achieved? Why not continue to accumulate good things, since you have already started?

The bottom line is this: you didn’t know what you needed underneath the first need that you met, and now you do, and it scares you to think that it can’t happen. But the only reason you haven’t met it yet is because you didn’t see it clearly. You know more now, and that changes everything. Trust yourself to get more of what you need. It’s going to be more than okay.

Now go be fabulous, and have a great week!

Collective Reading December 10-16: Too Little, Too Soon

Wow! Lots of turning points, beginnings, and connections this week. Here’s your reminder that you are right on time.

It’s no wonder you’re tired lately. You’re moving energy and participating in global changes on the most powerful level possible: individually.

The most effective way to change the world is to change your own frequency, your own baseline. This is happening in the wake of having observed someone, or many someones, say they would change… and simply not doing it. I’m seeing you on the outside, perhaps watching people get divorced, and the one parent seemed to have some control when they demanded change. But you knew it was all external, and not integrated into the real issue. I’m hearing “Too little, too soon.” Not too late, but too soon.

Both parties were in need of some big overhaul, but chose to focus on the problems they saw in each other instead. So nothing really changed.

How permanent are the changes you have seen others try to make when times got tough? You watched them start to feel the consequences of their actions, and only then resolve to “be better” so they wouldn’t lose what they seemed to have. Then, when the panic subsuded, they stopped trying and settled back into their previous habit energy. What a disappointment.

None of this memory is actually about you. And yet, all of it is about you, for the things you witnessed both defined your ideas about how people can or cannot grow, and are defined by your intuitive belief systems and temperament. They were the mirror for what can happen, and therefore the way you think about yourself is intertwined with what you saw and vice versa.

You have a great capacity for growth, beyond what many people allow themselves to experience. Just because you saw others fail to change when things got bad doesn’t mean you will turn out like them. You are on your own path. You are your own person. And the reason they failed was because they only moved when external forces seemed greater than their internal will. In reality, they had a more powerful will to do what they truly wanted. So do you.

If you really want to change and grow, not because of anything outside of yourself (although outside pressure can be a helpful catalyst) you will find a way. If you want to stay stagnant, no storm outside will ever change that.

Figure out what you really want, and who you really are when you are in your highest self. You’re not going to be behind where your energy truly is. You’re far too powerful for that. Just keep taking the steps you need to take when you’re ready for them. Nothing that is truly yours can ever miss you, but you do need to allow yourself to be ready for it. Being ready feels like inner peace and strength, not fear and punishment. The quickest way to readiness is to be at one with where you are and enjoy the journey. It’s all okay.

Have a great week, dear one. You’re right on time.

Collective Reading October 15-21: Maintenance and Pruning

How does your creative system work?

This week is about evaluating how your creative process happens and tweaking it. Get a good feel for how every step happens, and if you’re not seeing the results you want, make a list of what is and isn’t working and schedule repairs.

The Chariot reminds you that a well-oiled system is going to keep you rolling forward. But because there are so many moving parts that need work, you need to pace yourself with repairs. Kind of like taking your car into the shop for regular maintenance, you’re going to have to budget what you fix when.

As you plan this out, you’re looking at percentages, margins, and acceptable ranges. If your tires are still good for another 2,000 miles, you need to take care of the parts that need replacing or cleaning in the next 200 miles first.

Nurturing yourself and your work over time is Empress energy. Can you sustain the kind of long-term care you need, with your current self-talk environment? Start there if you are blocked from self care.

You do deserve good things. The question is not whether you’ve worked enough to rest; you need to rest enough to perform well. Work to eat culture is different from eat to work culture, but both require a balance between effort and ease, pleasure and patience.

If you have to put in more effort to get something done, that is more costly compared to doing something that is easy for you. Know what it costs you to complete a task and figure out how to make it easier on yourself.

When you are completing a higher volume of the same task, you have more opportunities to improve the quality of the result. Quantity improves quality, because, “The master has failed more times than the beginner has tried.”

Your self-talk comes from how you were raised. I’m getting a lot of mother wound energy (Fire Mother, Empress). Remember that any completed creation is much more valuable than the criticism it receives. Creation has life; criticism checks growth.

Stop being so harsh with yourself and your work. Healthy critique is necessary, but not all criticism is healthy. Some is downright acid rain. There is a difference between pruning a tree and watering it with acid rain, AND there is a difference between good pruning and bad pruning.

Pruning is supposed to correct growth and prioritize resources to set the tree up for a long and healthy life. Prune too aggressively, and the tree is stunted, or even killed.

You want to grow in a way that is going to set you up for long-term living. Treat yourself and your work accordingly.

General Reading for August 20-26: A Better Direction

This week, there is an energy of, “Well, this is as bad as it gets.” Some people call it rock bottom, but we all know that there is an infinite ability for things to get worse. We have all proven, collectively, that–against all odds–it can get worse. In so many ways. But that is not what we are here to experience. So now that we know that, what is this week actually for?

This week is about you choosing to stop putting up with anything less than your greatest good. This is you saying, “I have decided that it will get better, because I’m ready to go in a better direction.”

The Universe is thrilled that you have decided to start going in a different direction. They loved and supported you before, of course, but they know you, and they know that you will find so much more enjoyment in chasing what could go right. This is a much better use of your time here in this body.

When you believe in your success, you act differently. You change your habits to reflect where you want to go, and you put eager effort into staying consistent. You dress for success. You pick up your feet instead of scuffing your heels. You have more enthusiasm and energy, even when dealing with frustration. Because you are focused on the progress, you see the problems as being smaller, so you treat them as minor inconveniences instead of signs of the times. Same problems, different response, therefore different outcome. It takes two to tango, after all.

There are reasons you got into a gloomy outlook, for sure. But as you heal, you remove those reasons from your present. The situation that started this pessimistic mindset you’re currently throwing off has passed. And if it hasn’t passed quite yet, it will because you’re removing it. You’re going to be okay.

Two weeks ago, the message was to take exhaustion off like a cloak. Exhaustion is a mindset. It doesn’t matter how much sleep you got if you dread getting up in the morning. You’re still going to feel tired. Not to say you shouldn’t sleep, and not to say getting enough sleep can’t help, but the most important factor in feeling refreshed is your mindset.

You don’t need evidence to change your mindset. There is so much evidence for every perspective that you can prove every perspective right–or wrong. So really, it just comes down to what you want to experience, and how you choose to get there.

Let yourself be happy. Let your life get better and better. You do deserve good things.

Energy-Integrative Massage general information

What Is Energy-Integrated Massage?

Reiki and other energy medicine techniques are possible to do without touch. This is called distance work. Thanks to the properties of quantum physics, people and energies can interact without being physically touching, or even in the same place. Much like speaking on the telephone, bluetooth connections, or that intuitive feeling when you know that someone is thinking of you, distance healing connects people on an invisible frequency that can be accessed and sensed with the proper attunement and practice.

When I started practicing energy medicine, I learned the hands-off approach, as well as hands-on Reiki. However, while I enjoy working distance, I found that my skills were put to even better use when combined with massage techniques. I started self-study, based on what worked for me and my friends and family, and decided whole-heartedly to jump into massage school to learn even more. It was 100% worth doing.

Sometimes my client sessions follow traditional strokes, as in Swedish effleurage, petrissage, tapotement, compression, jostling, etc. And other times, they are more about holding space and being present with a past traumatic event. Breathwork, guided visualization, intuitive or angelic messages, and yes, the channeling of Reiki energy are integrated into working with the soft tissues of the body.

Because I have learned a wide variety of tools, and work with divine beings who use even more tools than I do, I have had the opportunity to work with an array of unique and fascinating challenges. I am equal parts excited to dive in, and empathetic towards the frustration, struggle, and pain involved with true healing. I love my work, and I love that feeling when relief finally arrives. There is nothing like going home after a successful session and knowing that I’m right where I’m supposed to be, doing what I was meant to do.

Integrating energy work and massage opens up a whole world of effective therapy. Separately, each modality has a powerful influence on healing, but together, they address the whole self on a deeper level. Book a session and see what I can do for you.
