I hope this finds you all experiencing a little more blossoming in your life, although there may be some seeds still in the nurturing stage.

I know that most of the Eastern U.S. and Midwest have been going through heightened temperatures, smoke from the Canadian fires, and drought-like conditions – something we’re very familiar with in the West – and the South has been hitting record high temps too. My heart goes out to everyone experiencing challenges.

Things keep teetering on the scales and as others go through things while we may get a break, these are great times to send love from that full cup out to where it’s needed.

I can’t believe we’re already halfway through 2023, but here we are facing the new month of July. We hear things like Christmas in July at this time of year, and yet we ARE closing in on that season again.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been hunkering into each season as much as I can and really stretching my wings to feel what each of them reflect to my own personal journey.

Slowing down the moments in a sped up world is everything to me. And I can both enjoy flying and cocooning at once.

I’ve included Lee’s July Energy Update below with some notes, which I think you’ll find supportive. I find myself in that “happy cocoon” that he mentions where I’m thoroughly in my joy and very much out and about, but maintaining my equilibrium and personal frequency.

I know that’s not the experience across the board for everyone, so I do my best to spread the inspiration, hope, and share the love and kindness I feel in my heart. This is made easier when I tend to my inner world.

It’s a space of deeper connection within, but that manifests as more connection without.

Dave and I experienced closure to an end of an era this week, I had my eyes opened to more endings that make great beginnings, and like Lee shares – yes, indeed fast manifestations have been on the scene.

The path I walk these days takes me to places I can luxuriate in my expansiveness and harness the core of my own inner Great Central Sun. I find myself needing more and more space to breathe with less noise and more nature than even I am always immersed in. My quiet time and boundaries are so sacred to me. In nature I can let it all go and expand into my fullness. In other spaces I exercise healthy shifting while remaining anchored in my heart.

The grass may appear greener on both sides, but the Emerald Bridge that is my heart knows the richness lies exactly where I am.

I cherish my “me time” and the landscape around me reminds me of how fertile each moment is to stretch into the vitality of my being.

I can’t reiterate enough the power right now in maintaining your vibrational frequency and not letting any narratives from anyone control your own story you write. 

Sure we’re connected, but breaking the mold is how innovation creates the new, one person at a time.

Or, one chipmunk at a time, in the case of this very enlightened little one. She and her two siblings live here with us and have made our sanctuary their own playground and growth space. I love watching them playing, loving each other, and taking pause. It’s not often you see chipmunks in a state of stillness for long periods, as they move about quite rapidly. But this little one certainly knows how to break the mold and slow things down.

As mentioned in my last post, I’m taking a big break for myself to focus on things important to me. I don’t know what that looks like fully except that it involves maintaining my own clear heart channel and doing what ever I need to do to strengthen and anchor that.

One of the developments is something I mentioned might happen earlier in the year. I am guided to close out my online Reiki training courses for the unforeseen future, as a result of the internal prompting of energetic alignment.

I may open them up again down the road, but that is an unknown as of now.

If you’ve been interested in learning Reiki to uplevel and align with current energy movement in the collective, want to add this to your body, crystal or healing work practice, would like a refresh to your past training, or would like to complete or continue your training certification, I will have the courses available for sign up until July 11th. You can go through the course/s in your own timing after that, but registrations will close on that date. Please reach out so I can assist you with your intentions before then. 

During this break I will only briefly blog post if I have any timely updates/announcements and you can find short inspirations on my IG page.

I’m limiting my messaging time as well, so if I don’t respond right away, I hope you’ll understand. If it’s something important and relevant to an offering, please place that in the beginning or subject line of your message so I recognize it right away and can get you the help you need. 

The Empowerment Series online courses – Everyday Reiki and Transcending Duality – will continue to be available after July 11th for anyone wanting to deepen their journey since they can be taken without involvement on my end.

Because I feel crystals are on extra high in terms of their partnership in these times of change, incredible new finds surfacing, and their energies amplifying in awakening and expanding states to match our own experience and needs with this, I continue for the time being to be a bridge for bringing forth and releasing crystal beings to assist that when called.

One thing I love about crystals is like any healing modality you’re drawn to, they are a way for YOU to access and harness YOUR own power and journey. You don’t need to know anything or think that you can’t work with them unless someone else tells you how. You have your own way and that is everything.

Trust that – this is the only part you may need to strengthen in terms of believing, but you truly are the only one who can do it.

Crystals are amazing reflections of our own inner state of wholeness and empowered clarity we forgot was always there. This aquamarine magickal child, above, feels so familiar to the inner me.

There is a small, extremely special and powerful crystal collection up on this page:

Creations & Crystals Closet

It’s called the Smoky Magick and Power Collection. All details about it are on that page, which I hope you’ll take the time to read if something nudges you there. These are very high vibed, unique, and some of the most potent pieces I’ve offered so I know they will speak to very particular souls ready for the next depths of the journey with these incredible beings. 

If you’ve been holding out for the perfect partner and find yourself in a place of creating major life changes, manifestations, and/or wanting to access more of your wholeness and multidimensional gifts for the greatest good, one of these might be the reason why you haven’t felt called until now to join a crystal partnership.

Thank you to everyone here on Earth and in our lives, who are so courageously doing your best and rising to the occasion of evolutionary change and creative manifestation like never before. It’s definitely not always easy, and yet somehow the Sun manages to keep shining through the clouds, the Moon illuminates the dark, and Nature finds a way to keep renewing.

I do my best to take in the vast gifts that would easily pass me by if I didn’t stretch my heart wider.

We are made of the same stuff we see all around us in the Earth and up there in the wide expanse of the Cosmos.

Divine madness pervades.

Below you’ll find Lee’s July Energy Update to help you ride the waves, as he always brings much clarity and compassion to these times and through his guides the Z’s.

I included the timestamps for this one:

WHICH OF THE 3 ENERGIES OF CHANGE ARE YOU FINDING YOURSELF IN? – June/July/August see a changemaking energy moving through the world, which will be experienced differently by each of us. Three states of the change below (and you may cycle through them): (01:26)

1) BRIGHT INTENSITY – brings awareness, and even if shocking initially, is clarifying and positive change-bringing. (01:50)

2) RELEASE INTENSITY – bringing healing and the dropping of anchors that would impede your future (triggered by personal events and areas of health or relationship) – can hold more grief and low vibrations if you need to release. (04:49)

3) COCOON INTENSITY – a feeling of being paused and still or stuck, stopped and heavy in your life and self – if the cocoon isn’t a pause time and is stuck or stopped, start changing your patterns and supporting yourself one day at a time. (07:42)

TAKE STOCK TO CREATE THE NEW – Space to create the new comes from taking a 360 view on things – reflect to redirect. (10:38)

FINANCIAL REVOLUTION ENERGY – A new energy around financial freedom and balance (not control and limitation) enters this month at a strong level – global and personal. (12:21)

TENDERNESS AND VULNERABILITY – At their core, these are superpowers. In our society, these have been discouraged or hard to maintain in traditional systems – they are rising again. (14.49)

FAST MANIFESTATION – If you are in alignment right now, things will be moving fast for you. Doesn’t mean you are always ready for the speed and remember, you can ‘slow things down’ for yourself. (17:27)

DEEPER CONVERSATIONS – INNER AND OUTER – Whether it is experiencing deep conversations with people you know, seeking them out or inner conversations with your higher self, soul or inner wisdom. (20:32)

Enjoy and may you find the perfect “you” ways to tend to your heart.
