Blessings loves!

There are some crazy important happenings coming this week. There’s the new moon and solar eclipse both on Tuesday (go here to find out when the moon will be fully new for your location). The new moon is the perfect time to set new intentions and spend some time figuring out what you would like to bring into your life. This could be reinforcing present circumstances in your life or completely setting a new path. We are nearing the end of our time in the underworld. Spring is nearly upon us for those in the northern hemisphere and it is almost time for us to plant the seeds of the plans that we cultivated over the winter. If you haven’t made your plans you don’t worry there is still time!

In fact this new moon/solar eclipse is the perfect time to prepare for the Spring Equinox. If all you have is even 5 minutes here’s a quick guide to prepare for the change in seasons.

1. Take a couple of deep clearing breaths. I take about 10 full breaths (inhale/exhale for 5 seconds 10x’s)
2. Divide a sheet of paper into 4 areas by drawing a line down the center of the page both horizontally and vertically.
3. Title each quadrant with an area that you would like to set some intentions for. I like to use material/financial, spiritual, relationships, and health. Use whichever categories work best for you.
4. Write out 1-3 intentions for each area. Remember that your intentions can be as general or specific as you like.
5. When you’re ready to move from general intentions to specifics using SMART (Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic Timely) principles makes it easier to achieve your goals. If you aren’t familiar with SMART goal setting there are tons of free resources available through a quick Google search.

Have fun intention setting!

Blessings beloveds,

Warning!! This post may get a bit real.

Alright now that that’s out the way, let’s talk about ways of relating. Specifically open relationships, polyamory, polygamy, polyandry, and monogamy. There’s a bit of a buzz going around about how we relate to one another and what that should look like. My opinion is honestly do what works for you and accept nothing less. Let’s break that down.

What works for you? Self awareness and exploration is so important. That takes time. Time where we sit with ourselves in whatever form of being brings us to that space where we feel that tingle near around our head and in our hearts. Self knowledge also takes dedication. Dedication to finding what fuels us as well as what drains us. Dedication to making a plan to focus on what fuels us. Dedication to putting that into practice and MAINTAINING that practice. When we know what works for us it allows us to begin to cultivate that relationship to ourselves where we can say what will align with our desires. This also allows us to speak on where we our to others. Communication will always be key. So if we are exploring, share that information. It can be difficult if you are not used to doing that, but then communication is an area that you can cultivate a practice for that honors your being.

When you go through this process of self development, it gives you the information that you can use as your foundation of how you want to relate to others. When you find who you are then you practice what fuels you, it is counterproductive to accept anything less. In fact, anything in opposition to what fuels you is most likely on it’s way to the landfill of the forgotten. When you get pings of behaviors or structures that you know do not serve you then you can begin to stand on that foundation and practice your divine no.

I for instance, have a firm understanding that I will always be fueled more by a divine partnership with a single being who’s energy I interact with in that space then with multiples. I have never worked well with larger groups even triads. I am super sensitive to energy. Which means I have to be selective. Even more so to make sure that who I choose to interact with energetically is just as selective. Now let me tell you, that took some time to learn! Even when I knew, it took time to develop the practice of energy selection. I’m still and will always be dedicating myself that development and maintenance of this practice.

I speak from experience. I come to share to say that it’s ok to not be there yet. To try different forms of loving and see what works for you. Learn the ways to communicate that work best for you and share where you are. There’s no shame in being who you are no matter where you are. There’s also no shame in changing your mind. I’ll say that one again, there is no shame in changing your mind! We change, we evolve, hopefully always improving. What may have worked may no longer work. You might have had only one partner for the last 10 years and after going through the process of self exploration find that that no longer serves you. Now, I will not tell you how these situations should be morally handled. I trust that your internal compass will direct you to the right path. Trust your higher self.

Blessings beloveds,

Today I caught a periscope from the Goddess China Mae Brooks, who you can check out here at ChinaBrooks.com to find out more about her powerful teachings and even get some coaching on her effective techniques. She went to see a minister in Self Realization Fellowship (SRF) to speak about sacred sexuality, tantra, and relationships. If you want to know what she found out follow her on periscope but know that that information is time sensitive so it’s only available for 24 hours.

I had such thoughts on the subject. That can be best expressed through a story time.

From when I can first remember, I have longed and felt the draw to align with a divine partner. This topic of early knowing of a desire for male/female connection isn’t really touched on in the groups and individuals that I am in contact with. It was not a sexual longing or desire it was a nurturing, loving, caring this is the person that you are uniquely connected with knowledge that I held. So from an early age before the age of 5, I have drawn in that caring nature from masculine energy.

There are many other stories to share about my adventures in this area but I want to focus on my latest encounter. This young man was someone who I admired deeply initially based on the surface information that I knew about him. There was an immediate attraction to his energy and the knowledge that he held. But there was also a clear knowing of what I desired from a partnership and what that would feel like and include. Some of which he did not hold. So initially I said hmm well I sense a connection but it must not be that relationship that I thought it was. So I left it alone. Over time though we continued to interact and eventually began to talk on a more that platonic level. I found it to be one of the most philosophical maturing conversations that I have had one on one continuously with a cis-male of color that was not steeped in concentrating on socially constructed identity. Well that’s how it seemed.

Over time though the truth of where this persons energy was emerged. Which is what will always happen. I believe in vibrating consciously. Seeking to hold the best feelings that one can so that we are constantly moving towards and cultivating bliss. What I saw was all these very challenging events happen in life that seemed to be a constant. It was strange to me because what was spoken externally was so out of alignment with the actual lived experience of this individual.

Now, do not think that I am saying that I do not have my own work to do. I attracted and engaged in this interaction with this individual so I had/have lessons to learn. But what this truly pointed out to me was the importance of personal alignment with self.

Our thoughts

Our words

Our actions

If one of these areas is out of alignment it will become evident in another. For instance if one’s thoughts are focused on poverty, stress, or lack but their words and actions are prosperity focused, they may find themselves asking why am I not receiving what I ask for? Why am I working so hard but not reaping the rewards? At some point there is a notch that is out of alignment.

I realized through my time with this individual that unless I followed the exercises to bring myself into alignment in these three areas then I too would not see the fulfillment of my desires. I see this play out for myself in my weight. It draws back to my internal thoughts of self worth and self care. As I bring myself into alignment where my thoughts and words match up my actions follow.

This isn’t news to anyone I’m sure. Yet, I know that we find ourselves desiring expansion. It is our way of being to want more. More love, experiences, friends, travel, material things, peace, or knowledge. Whether intrinsic or extrinsic, we are designed to seek expansion. Which means there is always space and ability to learn more. So here is my latest way of bringing myself into personal alignment.

Sacred baths (contact me to learn more)

Meditation

Morning yoga flow

Incense centered morning energy cleanse (posts on this coming soon).

How do you find alignment? I would love to share and discuss.

Hello everyone!

I am moving up and changing spaces. When you are ready to do big things you take the steps to be able to achieve success. So here I will feature my thoughts, adventures, and knowledge on all things health related. More importantly, I’ll be speaking on activities and paradigms related to self care and nurturing.

One thing that I can say with conviction is that the number one thing we can do for ourselves is make sure that our cup is not only full but overflowing. That overflow is what we give to others. It’s the love, time, and attention that we express when looking after that which is external to ourselves. This allows for us to care for others while still having energy to care for ourselves. This is only possible by making sure that we are putting ourselves as the top priority in our life.

Here are my favorite ways to practice self care

1. Taking a long hot bath
2. Meditation
3. Reading
4. Spending time in nature
5. walking

I’ll cover these in more detail later. How do you perform self care?
