Stardust in a Meatsuit

I met with my Reiki teacher a few days ago to have my attunement to Master Level Reiki. This is one of those things in my life that I am very grateful for and also proud of. I've been practicing Reiki for a few years now, and with my Master Level Certification, I plan to begin teaching Reiki to others. My Moma is going to be one of my first students. My attunement went well, and it was a profound experience for me. One of my healing guides showed me that I was stepping into a new level of healing and healer. I had been getting other signs pointing to this shift while in mediation in recent weeks. Things that showed me that blocks were being cleared, energy was magnifying and expanding, and what my place is in all of it.  I am also seeing that the timing (linear, Earth time) is lining things up perfectly for me to step into this teaching role, and to grow my healing practice as a whole. To say I am very excited is an understatement.  When I started my path with Reiki, I had no ...

 *This post contains a LOT of spiritual talk and 'woowoo' stuff. So if that's not really your thing, just skip this one.* So today is Wednesday, you know, my favorite day of the week. Because it's right in the middle, so there's no urgency to START things, odds are I've already started what needs to be started. And it's not a finishing day, because it's in the middle and things don't need to be finished until the end, which is Friday, and maybe sometimes Thursday, depending on just how much you need to finish.  Wednesday is also very nice these past few months because I have been taking a course for my Master Level Reiki certification, and we meet on Wednesdays for the weekly live lecture. I am beyond excited about this. My plan is to teach Reiki classes for self-healing once we move in a few weeks.  Also, I was doing a remote session on my Moma yesterday, and it was amazing, it really always is, but before we got started, myself and my spirit animal...

 I know you have all been waiting with bated breath to see what I thought about The Big Chill.  Well, it is...a movie. Haha. For nostalgia alone, I would say sure go ahead and watch it. Are you going to learn any earth-shattering revelations while watching it? Probably not.  There is some infidelity in the storyline, and maybe 2-3 years ago this would have triggered me, but it doesn't anymore. (Thank you, healing work). And to be fair, the storylines in this movie border on ridiculous. But like I said, watch it for the music, the hairstyles, and the clothes. Haha. Speaking of movies, Eli and I went to see the second Dr.Strange movie on Monday. We enjoyed it. It was directed my Sam Raimi, and it was much darker than other Marvel movies we've seen, in a good way. It was campy and fun, and very much felt like a comic from the 70's-80's come to life. Lots of plot points and different characters, a lot of crazy scenes. It was a fun brain break and fun to get out with Eli. Ha...

It's Sunday. I have been packing, cleaning, cooking. Now I'm taking a break to write and I am also watching Roadrunner: A Film about Anthony Bourdain (it's on HBO Max). I didn't realize, because I am not an expert on Bourdain, that he had not traveled extensively until he wrote his first book and started filming his first TV show. He was 43 when he wrote that book.  This got me thinking about Georgia O'Keeffe, who didn't start painting seriously until she was 31, and even later when she got MORE serious after moving to New Mexico.  We have time. We surely don't have forever to realize these Earthly pursuits, but we have more than 20 or 30 years. I know that, intellectually. But when I really sit and think it over, it resonates deep in my soul. My healing path didn't fully open up for me until about 7 years ago, and seriously opened up about 5 years ago. I didn't start my hairdressing career until I was 35. I just had my first two gallery shows this p...

   My oldest cat, Zipper passed away very early this morning. I won't go into too much detail, but he died quickly, thankfully, so he didn't suffer.  Zipper and my second oldest cat Beetljuice, spent most of their time lounging on our back porch. This morning, Zipper wasn't out there to greet me like he is every single morning, and I just got a weird, heavy feeling in my gut that something was wrong. I could feel myself start to panic, so I meditated for a few minutes to calm myself down. A few months ago I learned how to communicate with animals, and had spoken with all of my pets a good bit since then, so I dropped into my calm state and reached out to Zipper. Usually, when I meet up with an animal in the quantum field, I see a gold bridge and meet them there to talk. This morning, the bridge was rainbow-colored instead of gold, and I just knew Zipper had passed. He did communicate with me briefly, and he was happy and doing well. So I had some comfort in that. It felt ...

  OK, the title of this post is a little strong-arm-y.  I apologize. I’m not angry with you, I promise.  I am just very excited to help as many people as possible learn how to heal. And by 'heal' I mean, break patterns that keep you stuck, release things that no longer serve you, heal your family traumas, regulate your nervous system, and learn to see the truth in your experiences. (Among other things. Stick around this blog a while and you'll learn some really neat things!) I will be straight with you: healing is a process and a way of living your life more intentionally. It is not a one-size-fits-all, we-all-take-the same-exact-steps-in-the-same-order type of thing. It is far from ONE AND DONE. While you will have moments of great breakthrough and realization along your path, most of your healing takes place as you live your life day to day. It's a really beautiful life, but it is very different from what is shown to us in media, in church,  and by society as a who...
