My days have been quite full recently, but since today is a special day I thought to share a quick post connected to the meaning of this day, a dream, and to share images of yesterday evening and last night that filled my heart with enchantment. I have actually been receiving downloads of themes and messages for upcoming blog posts, but haven’t the time as of yet to immerse in writing much, so I trust their timing will unfold divinely.

I am currently working a very special commissioned painting that is taking most of my extra time (and in fact does have connection with all of this), outside of the mentoring sessions, and when not creating the balance I need in life. I took some additional “me” time over this long weekend while Dave was away on a silent retreat, creating my own version of retreat while also singing my lungs out during painting hours. Moving all of that energy felt really good, especially since I find myself in deep contemplation over things the last few days – no surprise with the Scorpio Full Moon.

Today is a day I always honor, as it was this day thirteen years ago that my twin soul in rabbit body, Nestor, returned to the stars. It also happens to be Dave’s thirteen year vegan anniversary, so it was perfect for him to create the quiet space for himself too.

Nestor has been around a lot and appeared in my dream the night before the Full Moon. As I shared with a dear friend, it spoke to the emotional waters I navigate with/without her and literally did have both of us on a large square log raft of the old days traveling twice across extremely rough waters in the thick of the night with just two to three others with us. The first time was without anything but ourselves and the second time we were traveling with packages of special items that I tied and had attached around my arms for the very important ones not to get lost when the raft flipped as it did the first time throwing one person off. I was quite strongly tethered to the raft, myself, and the second time when packages were going to be crossing the waters with us too, I took extra precautions. One package – a box – had Nestor inside. I don’t know who put her in there, but she was chewing her way out and I had to get to her to make sure she didn’t get loose and that I could keep her safe. That’s all I remember and of course I’ve received layers of messages from it.

These images from yesterday evening nearing 7 pm were the beginning of feeling a lot of Nestor’s presence shining through, around and upon me in a literal way.

The light was so lovely through the sliding glass door of our bedroom and the angle of the Sun was hitting the lake just right beyond the trees, that there was a much larger area than normally you would notice, of lake sparkly like a gem through the forest.

In person you could clearly see the mountains on the other side of the lake, the shoreline there, and the sparkle on the water in this area that is larger than appears in the photo (see center below).

But photos blur it into one big glowing light between the trees – still magickal.

I took some of these photos outside on the deck and the others from inside looking out, as the light was beautiful from both perspectives.

I felt a whisper to flip the camera and include myself and here is where I feel Nestor’s presence making herself seen. This photo below is taken without flash.

I noticed the way the light looked so angelic and glowed in an even larger emanation around the Sun than the other photos, as well as a light beam streaming through to my third eye and light hitting my heart chakra.

Then last night before bed I stepped outside.

These are photos I took of the Moon magick in the secret faery garden.

It was very still last night and although the last few days brought in a cold front, it was actually quite comfortable outside in my jammies so I decided to explore the garden and check out the Moon.

In person the sky was fully clear in the opening where the Moon appeared and so was she crystal clear with mystical clouds moving around her.

Without a high quality camera it’s usually a challenge to capture the details of the Moon at night, but I love the mysterious essence that did happen, along with the glow of faery solar lights in my garden, and even the touch of pinky peach clouds that appeared around the Super Pink Moon – the first Supermoon of the year.

These photos felt like a lovely accompaniment to my previous blog You Are A Garden Worth Tending that had photos of all the enchantment and light dancing in my garden currently.

A little taste of day and night at the Forest Portal.

~ In honor of Nestor and the magick that she is.

What if the dialogue we ran in our heads changed from “What if the worst happens?” to “What if the best happens?”

Do you notice how easy it is to go from feeling good about something to immediately feeling a tightening and intensity of damaging emotions in place of that?

The way we look at things and affirm them on a daily basis, will set the tone of our experiences and what we continue to attract in confirmation of these stories we run.

We all receive an intuitional, higher self, first response to things, but because of its subtle voice and our being conditioned out of believing and trusting it, we quickly turn on the robotic inner exchange of running harsh dialogue through our minds that challenges and negates everything else.

Our minds begin to tell stories to us….

“What if _________ happens and I lose everything?”

“What if I’m wrong?”

“What if I fail?”

“What if I get hurt/hurt again?”

“What if I’m fooling myself?”

“What if everyone is out to get me?”

“What if everything falls apart?”

“What if I never find a/another partner, friend, animal companion?”

“What if no one else ever understands me?”

“What if the world falls apart?”

“What if everyone really is heartless and out to destroy everything?”

“What if no one likes my work?”

“What if I’m unable to attract clients?”

“What if I’m not good enough?”

“What if I never get better or never get myself out of this situation?”

“What if ………?”

Our nature isn’t to believe the worst, but our fear has over-written the program of our essence. And any time we receive any confirmation to our fear, that voice gets stronger.

Isn’t it funny that any time we receive confirmation to our intuition, we still ignore it in place of fear confirmations?

The more we run the fear programs, the more reflections of it we call to our attention. The more we also feed anxiety, depression, and anger, the more we indulge a cesspool of spiraling sludge that pulls us down and gets thicker, darker, and harder to get out of.

We have the tendency to keep ourselves small and have become accustomed to that feeling – it’s in our DNA and it’s part of the transformation we’re working toward releasing ourselves from collectively.

The moment I feel a charge and trigger around a stance I’m taking, this speaks to me of being at a transitional place and not one to land in. The moment I feel a charge, I know I’m walking in duality and that’s not my nature to be there. That’s where I’ve been taught I should be, but not where essence lives.

And so, I choose to run a different program – one that focuses on the silver linings or best possible case scenarios, rather than defaulting into the fear voice.

I also do this with my gratitude practice, where I not only voice gratitude for what I do have, but I voice gratitude for things I would like to see happen, as if they already have.

“What if everything works out?”

“What if my feelings are right?”

“What if I succeed?”

“What if I experience even greater joy, love, fulfillment than I ever have?”

“What if my intuition has been right all along?”

“What if everyone and the Universe is conspiring to help me?”

“What if everything works out even better than I imagined possible?”

“What if there are thousands of possible next partners, friends, animal companions waiting for me to open my heart and the next one takes me on the best adventure yet?”

“What if like-minded people are easy to attract and I was more at peace with myself?”

“What if things are unfolding in divine perfection and a beautiful new world is being birthed?”

“What if everyone really has the capacity for kindness and just needs my love to help unlock their essence?”

“What if there’s a perfect audience for my work that is waiting for me to love my own work enough?”

“What if there is an abundance of everything and I’ll always attract the perfect clients?”

“What if I’ve been worthy all along, but just needed to realize it?”

“What if anything is possible, peace surrounds my experience, and there’s a gift to be embraced from this moment that will free me?”

“What if ………?”

Things can change on a dime. Every moment is fleeting and surprises can happen when we least expect it.

But perhaps we can start opening to amazing things or miracles more, rather than expecting the worst always? And perhaps we can shift our perspective when things show up that surprise us in a way we hadn’t really thought of wanting as a possibility, and then embrace the gift within it.

Here the mountain weather is such a perfect example of the surprising ways things can change moment to moment and day to day.

We went from warm, lower 60’s temperatures, hiking, biking, sun bathing, and garden prep time one day to a six inch blanket of Spring snow surprise all around us the next day – even more at the top of the mountains. It was so enchanting and supportive for the day’s focuses of painting, work with clients, tax prep, and life planning. It also prolonged and enhanced more ski chances before the year fully shuts down in that regard.

The first photos are from Tuesday’s hike. These next photos are from yesterday, the day following the hike, but even this morning we had an added almost inch of additional frosty fun even though the snow has completely melted away as if it never was.

I can imagine some people may have run some inner dialogue of one perspective around this surprise – wishing the snow would go away or something of this nature.

And yet there are always other perspectives that could be more inviting to a more pleasant experience or energy to carry for the day – one of which could be as simple as gratitude for the moisture that can help nourish the land in another year that it looks like drought and fires could be on the scene in a big way again.

Another could be surrendering to Nature’s knowing way that we ourselves haven’t gotten back on board fully yet with “being” and that she knows what’s best. Perhaps even reflecting to us our own inner oscillation of balancing inner and outer and encouraging more merging rather than a “this or that” energy signature.

Today, we’re back to sunshine warmth and Spring promise, but it all reminds me to be present to the way in which I invoke each day’s energy with the perspective I’m taking, the energy I’m holding and embodying, and the kind of dialogue I’m allowing to shape my experiences.

True, it isn’t always easy to shift out of certain mind sets or feelings when a lot seems to be working counter to where you’d rather be focused. However, things don’t change by succumbing to what seems prevalent. They only change by choosing to change them, one person at a time, one thought, feeling, action, and belief at a time. We can only start somewhere and I choose to start with me and any little step I can take to make each moment more enriching, even in the face of what I could easily allow to make me feel like its deficient in.

The winds of change will always blow through. Surprises are going to continue happening every single day. I choose to conspire with the energies that see and know something more than meets the eye. I choose to believe the Universe is conspiring along with each of us when we decide to step out of our comfort zones and reach for the stars we truly are.

I’m loving the scent of fresh pine lingering in the air. It fills my lungs with immune-system building goodness from deep-breathing during outdoor activities. Mix that with remnants of mesquite hints when passing by homes on the forest and there’s a beautiful synergy of seasonal gifts working their wonders on the senses and merging parts of myself in unison.

They are also stirring the impetus of potential within – calling me to remember promises and make that rainbow connection come true.

Everything is awakening in divine timing and it all contributes to an overall energetic momentum we can hop aboard and align with.

On the physical front I’m seeing evolution in motion.

Here in the mountain high altitudes we continue to experience transitioning seasons, although the weather is holding at mild temperatures in the mid to high 50’s on up to the low 60’s. That may seem cold, but at this elevation the sun shines more directly, so in fact it’s been beautiful sun bathing weather even though my days are still mixed with contrasting experiences.

The photo above is such a great example of this contrast where you can see some snow still lining the south end of the lake’s beach where sun is limited in reach by the trees there. And yet, it’s a wonderful time for beach and water activities while we remain off-season here.

We have plans for kayaking soon to enjoy the placid lake conditions. You can see in the above photo, here, just how gorgeous it’s been lately at lake level. The Caribbean-like waters of the lake are very inviting. We enjoyed views like this one from the trail above the lake for our first bike adventure of the season a few days ago, which inspired us to get jumping aboard our kayak for a complete experience of above and below – or on, as it may be. 😉

So, yes, as ski season winds down, biking, kayaking, and hiking season revs up.

Yesterday morning was day 51 of skiing this season and my last day at Heavenly Mountain. I’ll likely ski another day or two more at different resorts around the lake we haven’t been to yet, but I thought to document this momentous and oh so “heavenly” occasion of Spring skiing at its finest.

It’s been very warm during skiing so although I have a jacket on, it’s zipped open to only a tank top beneath and my remaining days will likely be jacket-less. Many people ski in a variety of attire at this time of year. I saw everything from tank tops, crop tops, shorts, underwear, and fun costumes on Friday.

But the day before had us hopping aboard our bikes for day 2 of Spring and Summer activities. Some days we ski in the morning and bike in the afternoon.

The photo below was our starting point down in the Tahoe Keys.

And this next one was a view from today’s bike ride – both reflecting Spring in the foreground and Winter remnants on the background mountains.

It’s incredible to experience the diversity all woven together within varying degrees of elevation.

There’s always one cycle finishing while one begins. That’s life on all levels of experience. It’s a continuum of flow without judgment.

It’s really a unique experience to live in a place where the seasonal shifts are very transparent. It supports understanding of the nature of things.

And with continued warming trends, this weekend begins yard and garden prepping time, finally. Although we could still get a random surprise snow fall, the temperatures are steadying and the garden is calling. So, I plan to get all the dead pine needles, pine cones, and fallen branches from Winter’s spell raked up and removed, and start trimming and sprucing up plants, removing old growth, planting some seeds, and watering.

All of this in preparation for any new plant babies that might find there way home to join the rest of the returning perennial gang.

It feels like the perfect time for this with Sunday the 11th’s Aries New Moon, which offers a fresh start – that’s tomorrow.

We already have bunches of joyous yellow daffodils dancing out in the yard with many more varieties of blooms on the way there and in the garden, but I’ll save the rest of the photos of them for an upcoming post – perhaps even a before and after cleanup.

I’m just sharing the above one because of the subtle rainbow light pouring in from the top left of this capture and the rainbow veil between the tree and the golden light on the ground since it goes with the theme of more on this rainbow energy below.

Equally aligned with outdoor preparations upcoming, I’ve been finalizing the clearing and organizing of indoors and one-by-one completing projects. I just finished a new sacred tattoo design I’ll share soon, which is no surprise to me that it feels aligned with the transformational times we are in currently and all that is opening to our potential as spirit in body.

I’ve been immersed in the beginning phases of a new painting commission that also holds such potent rebirthing and Spring-like essence, as you’ll see upon completion, but also speaks to connection and bonds of love that transcend time. And each one always takes me on a personal journey even though they are created for someone else, which is an illuminating process.

On the inner front I’m feeling evolution deepening.

So yes, I’m tending my inner and outer gardens right now, both literally and symbolically.

I have also been creating some new intentional spaces both in my office and garden by calling forth extra magick, inviting in support from the Elemental and Cosmic realms, and creating mini portals to welcome in the new. A vision has come to me for something in the garden, but I am allowing natural unfolding to work its wonders, as sometimes things come to be just as I envision – and sometimes they come to be differently, but even better than I envisioned.

I find myself having new intentions, in general, and have been enjoying holding them in heart, but now getting ready to voice them to the Universe more boldly. New Moons are wonderful for this.

What intentions do you have for the year, or even just right now in the short term?

What would you like to create in your life on any and all levels?

What challenges would you like to face or put to rest this year?

These are some of the powerful questions you can ask yourself while walking through the Aries New Moon doorway.

And speaking of “doorways”, there continues to be a transparent display of portal energy showing up. Something I think I’ve mentioned, or at least have been showing you in photos, is how rainbow energy keeps appearing, more and more.

It shows up as literal rainbows – some seen by others and some like the one I mentioned in a recent post, was only seen by me at a mirrored angle to myself – it shows up as rainbow orbs, rainbow light, rainbow sparkles that flicker, and even rainbow veils – the latter being a new constant for me, as I’ve shown you in the recent blog post, Can You Feel It.

Well, a few days after the rainbow veils at the portal sites on my walk that day I share about in the blog, I found another nearly exact portal at the other creek out back in the forest that forks that one.

You can see it here in the above photo where the bridge crosses over the creek.

It’s the same exact shape. So incredible!

And then on our bike ride of two days ago we rode past a historical lakeside site with old homesteads and this rainbow veil appeared across my favorite little cabin I stopped to admire.

Then there was the more subtle rainbow veil near the tree and my new blossoms, I already shared.

And today’s Day 3 bike ride of the season revealed this:

It appeared when I took a photo of the upper limbs of one of my favorite trees in the area – a giant, very old Juniper.

Rainbows are bridges themselves, doorways or portals, reflections of heightened awareness and other realms, message of miracles from the Universe, symbols of hope, beauty, harmonic frequencies, and promises of blessings to come. I find it fascinating that they are showing up increasingly, as I’ve seen friends post photos of actual rainbows quite a bit, rainbow light dancing in through windows or showing up inside crystals where they weren’t before, and even faery sis Laura mentioned to me that on the same day I saw the rainbow veil at the historical cabin, she saw a most amazing rainbow like none she’d ever seen.

There is so much flowing through from other realms right now, as the doors and veils open wider and thin even more. I find that the more open your heart, the more things reveal themselves in varying ways relative to each.

I also believe, however, that these are ways our higher selves and spirit guides speak to us of things we may have pushed aside, ignored, or deemed unimportant at the time. They get our attention and voice our deepest desires.

But rainbows and rainbow energy is not about “fluff.” They symbolize transformation and initiation, as well as creation, goodluck/or divine synchronicity, liminal spaces, and even what people refer to as ascension or oneness as rainbow embodiment – the light body.

I find it interesting that Rainbow Serpent Teacher was one of the very first spirit guides I became aware of that works with me. So, it feels to me like these continuous rainbow energy fields that keep showing up are also being experienced as a much more direct messaging that is opening along my journey.

With all that is unfolding across Earth, these rainbow appearances feel like comforting presences containing light codes that reflect an awakened remembrance.

They also feel very affirming of the “now” moment bridging past and future into the eternal, while also acting as transmutational bridges between storms and hopeful new landscapes.

A reflection of rebirth and potential.

Rainbows are metaphors for dreams and wishes that contain the alchemy for great joy and fulfillment. They’re a connection that resides in our hearts.

If you’ve been hearing whispers within, perhaps these rainbows indicate your deepest dreams are calling you to believe, listen, and act upon the nudges that have long held your deepest truth. Perhaps this is your time, your moment to seize the realization of spirit in flesh.

I found myself singing this song today when I woke up and along our bike ride, as it speaks to following that rainbow connection – the bridge in your heart that merges soul purpose into manifestation. I hope it touches your heart and sparks just what you might need in this moment to believe in yourself and what energetically moves through your veins as inspiration.

Tomorrow’s Aries New Moon is a wonderful opportunity to make that rainbow connection and feel inspiration toward how you can bring through body what your soul signature wants to create.

There’s a fresh canvas awaiting each of us in the liminal space of the New Moon void where something stirs the colors for a new creation to unfold. But rather than simply appease that itch with less effective uses of our time and energy just to fill a “need” or “urge” we feel unfulfilled, perhaps sitting with the energy right now and listening, will prompt us into greater alignment.

Surrendering to the blank canvas and being with the swamp of potential like Kermit, can help you hear the rainbow connection that calls. And from there your wise self will know what to do and when to do it.

A new dimension of living is possible.

Promises are knocking on our doors to remember to honor.

Perhaps it’s time to write the next chapter of your life story.

On the unified front we’re being given the chance to embody harmonic evolution more and more each day.

From rabbits to eggs, lilies, tulips, and daffodils, to irises, and newborn animals to baskets, these are just some of the symbols of Easter and Spring renewal. Whether things are still in seasonal transition where you live or not, you can feel Spring in the air, bubbling in your heart, and tickling you from the inside out with the itch to embark on something new.

I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling ready to step out in a whole new way and so I literally adorned my feet yesterday in the most delicious spray of all things dear to my heart and reflective of this season of creative inspiration and explosion.

Although I feel the urge to keep what’s brewing close to heart, I don’t feel shy to wear the energy out loud. It also feels like a way to call all the fun and expansion in, by emanating the essence as a way of magnetizing its reflection to it.

Yesterday was an Easter celebration of sweetness and joy – with overflow enough to warm anyone’s heart, I think.

Bringing the spirit of the season fully alive, feels like a way to embody that same spark of light and new growth into our lives.

These are some of the creative touches that enveloped our warm celebration yesterday.

We’re grateful to have been able to share a small gathering with the family and ignite the new with childhood wonder.

All the little ways we can make every moment memorable and lived fully are how we embrace life and the gift of now.

Whether you have small or large dreams, hopes, and intentions, there’s no better time than to start with any step forward towards it, today.

New opportunities await us to partner in their manifestation. How we choose to spend our time, focus, thoughts, and energy speaks a lot to what we deem most important.

Beauty and potential is something you have to want to see, as it isn’t always found in the obvious.

They just might be illuminated from within and await your recognition and embrace of the gift to emerge.

I choose to fill my basket with ever-more courage, trust, hope, love, kindness, presence and inspired action, as we step into this new cycle. I also feel compelled to live the wonder out loud, even if that simply means wearing my heart on my sleeve.

There’s a butterfly within each of us that longs to unfurl their wings. There’s also a caterpillar who loves the journey because it trusts in divine unfolding and somewhere down deep has this knowing that something incredible may happen through surrender.

Do you feel that knowing too?

What might you do to embrace where you are, while motivating yourself to keep giving your best another step…another day…?

Like many of you, I can feel both overwhelmed at times and excited, but I know that moving forward is only about the next thing – not trying to jump into the end result.

Yes, I feel the Spring essence of blossoming inspiration and I don’t plan to diffuse that because I know it’s the natural fuel to propel me.

But I will find ways to anchor it in each moment with action steps so that when things do fully rebirth, it will sprout with nurtured cultivation to support perennial potential.

As we continue to experience very deep transformations, from the inside out, grounding becomes increasingly important so that you can stabilize, anchor, and manifest, as well as maintain wellness and vitality to do all the new things bursting forth from your heart’s desires.

One of the things we focused a lot on in both of the last online classes I taught, was simple grounding techniques because as healers and empaths our well being is crucial to the way we show up in the world and for others. But this is so for anyone who is sensitive, empathic, and works in service-related occupations or has a full life and business schedule. Grounding was part of a collective theme we discussed, which was accompanied by other topics that included things like energy protection, clearing, aura strengthening, replenishing energy, self trust, self care, and the overall importance of living as an example of what you believe and deem important.

But grounding truly is a way for us to deepen into embodiment more and in turn, be able to manifest more abundantly and feel more empowered.

The more grounded and present in your heart you can be, the more aware you’ll be of empathic exchanges taking place – what’s yours and not yours, you’ll be able to transmute things easier, and people or clients will feel more supported and safer to go deeper in their own healing process with you, or as a result of your reflecting this embodiment.

Interesting, right after the last class I taught this past Sunday, I went to my room to change into some hiking clothes and a bird chatting outside the sliding glass door got my attention. I hadn’t seen a Steller’s Jay since pre-Winter, but here was the first one of the new season, very eager to get my attention.

I thought that very fitting, given their symbolism. I’ve written before about Steller’s Jay and their messaging:

They symbolize bold, fearless energy, and the power of presence and how to use personal power effectively.

The crest on their heads connect them to the sky and above, drawing energy and wisdom through the crown and reminding us that our true power needs to be applied in a balanced way that integrates both spirit and body, mind and heart.

Since they are very resourceful, they too symbolize adaptability and how to do so more efficiently.

They also symbolize a great amount of talent, but a talent that needs to be developed and used wisely. In this way they mirror to us that this is a time in your life where you can begin to support the inherent wisdom within you to mature and come forth in a bigger way.

Steller’s Jay also alerts us that anything of value, spiritual growth, and relationships takes work and they show us how to activate our internal resources to do this. Communication abilities are strong, access to memories and assimilation of them come to awareness, risk taking, seizing opportunities, discovering new things to explore, balancing intelligence with silence and patience to align with divine timing all come through Steller’s Jay in message.

Their crest that reaches up also places attention at the energy centers of the head/crown, indicating an increase in new spiritual knowledge and wisdom that may become activated.

Appearing after a very activating class that felt to take things to a new level for everyone, but also in line with talking a lot about the upgrades taking place collectively, felt like divine confirmation. Their crest and all the energy focus on psychic channeling through the crown being integrated into body is so reflective of what is happening.

Nature has me soaring, yet in a grounded way that feels more like embodied spirit that is down to Earth.

The next day, a pair of Steller’s Jay appeared. Wink, wink.

I didn’t always used to be very grounded. In fact, I wasn’t grounded at all. 🙂 I was floating about whether in the ethers, cosmically, or simply in my imagination, and was a tiny waif of a faery who had no boundaries, nor knew how to manage my energy.

So glad that all changed, but it came through balancing my life and saying “yes” to it – life that is. Embracing that I was here in body for a reason, and in order to do and be fully what I birthed in for, it was time to dance with more than just the familiar energies I remembered from off-Earth times.

There are many ways to help yourself ground and really “be” in body, but these are my 8 personal favorites (in no particular order) and easy, daily go-to’s that are integrated parts of my life rituals:

1. walking barefoot out on the ground around the house and in my garden
2. daily physical exercise in nature – depending on the season: hiking, walks, gardening, biking, kayaking, beach time, snow shoeing, skiing
3. spending time with animals and plants – Astrid is my favorite choice here
4. creating very nurturing and nourishing meals, fun snacks, or luxurious drinks that are both grounding and truly pleasurable to the taste buds – also creating anything with my hands, in general
5. working in a space where I’m surrounded by actual elements of nature – raw crystals and stones I’ve found outdoors, pine cones, bark, lichen, a giant dried bundle of forest florals and plants in a saging wand I save, dried flower arrangements and lots of lavender, feathers, etc. I also have grounding and clearing crystals near my computer
6. body care and spa time – I enjoy having a couple of days a week of things like masks, dry brushing, and extra hair care, but on a daily basis I luxuriate in natural and vegan products for my skin from head to toe
7. nature-based adornments – over the last few years I’ve transitioned my wardrobe (down to my undies) over to completely natural and organic fibers like cotton, hemp, bamboo, linen…but also to slow eco fashion created by artisans who focus on sustainability and using plant, botanical, and low impact dyes. I can’t tell you the difference it makes me feel to have these on my skin – made for a faery indeed!
8. sun bathing – I thrive on sunshine and don’t feel myself if not soaking in some rays – I’m very much a lizard or snake in this way. I especially love laying flat on the ground completely relaxed and surrendered in savasana pose – this puts me in a meditative space receiving Earth’s energy and Sun light codes all at once. (Since Saturday’s warming temperatures, I’ve been able to soak in a lot of forest sunshine daily, as you can see in the above photo from last weekend. I was already sporting a healthy flush from my hike out back that day and then received my first sun-kissing yum of the season).

Lee actually touches on the increased importance of grounding in his new April Energy Update I’ve included below, since so many of you enjoy them too.

Although he mentions how April will feel like the “lightest and brightest” month so far of 2021 with a lot of energy and opportunities flowing in, staying grounded, he says, will help you not feel chaotic and pulled all over the place, or unable to focus or make decisions. He calls the upswing of energies we’re feeling, “electrical energy upgrades.” If you think about electricity, it makes sense that we need our grounding cords right? 😉

Another theme of the month Lee hits on is the continuation of ancestral healing. I’ve continued to see that pop up in clients, friends, family, and even commissioned designs, where the focus has been on releasing the weight of ancestral lines we’ve all been carrying, in order to move forth into liberated being – and that this is indeed honoring them through living our best.

Synchronously, yesterday, April 1st and Fools’ Day was my paternal grandmother’s birthday – she would have been 101 had she lived until now. She actually transitioned on my birthday when I was in high school and I’ve always felt like there was a literal handing over of energy balancing she gave to me from that. A way to integrate the effective use of energies she embodied, and transmuting the ineffective ones. This, as a way to shift the lineage, especially for women in the family, but also collectively. And once I recognized that around age 21 – her gift in doing this – I’ve also began to liberate myself from the weight of it all, little by little. Today, coming to a greater space of “my own” while knowing that this is what she intended for true freedom for all. Not to look back, but to keep moving forward.

And along the theme of moving forward, Lee mentions how creating boldly between now and October will be big on the scene for everyone in their own ways. I can feel that, as I’ve already anchored into purely art creating mode right now and have kept feeling like April is a transitioning month where this creative mode I’m in will be the gateway to the much larger creative projects for the rest of the year – kicking in end of month or May.

If you do end up listening to Lee’s video, you might get a giggle like I did (Lee too) from how the donkeys in the background chime in right when Lee talks about “staying present to the magick and love” because they’ll be important alchemical components for upcoming creation.

The donkeys reminded me of a dear and magickal friend of mine in northern California who has two adorable donkeys and a bunny. And that immediately brought magick and love to the forefront of my heart.

Any little thing that invites us to be more present to the enchanting and endearing parts and qualities of life, truly do have an upshift effect on us immediately and this is the kind of energy we’ll need to fuel what we desire to create. As Lee says, “creating is healing” and as you blossom into a new you, you will simultaneously feel supported with all the new you want to create externally.

I know many of you have dreams and you can support them by immersing yourself in these elements of life. This also helps you to drop more into who you really are and not who you’ve been conditioned to be.

“I allow myself to become more fully me” – Lee’s April affirmation.
