From my Winter cocoon to yours, I felt guided to share a little message of self awareness as we continue to journey through some powerful days of strong energetic shifts.

While the start of the year may feel like a call to get moving on things, Nature reminds us to take our time and trust that all things important will actually get done without our needing to force it.

Slowing down and touching in with yourself is ever more important with the massive energies streaming through.

On top of that, we just experienced a planetary alignment on Saturday the 25th – or “planetary parade” as it is called – where six planets (Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) were close together in an arc. A planetary alignment isn’t rare, but having six visible planets aligning, is. And on February 28th we’ll have seven planets aligning when Mercury joins the six.

So, indeed there is Cosmic movement affecting Earth changes, and our being of both natures, ensures going through our own transformational experiences.

In fact, many will experience these changes in a variety of ways, relative to each, and may include health resets while your physical body is integrating the upgrades necessary for moving into these new times.

This is why it is of great importance to heed your body’s intelligence and take care of what it is asking for. As humans, our bodies will go through adjustments in order to be able to integrate the higher levels of light and energy streaming in.

I’ve heard from many who have recently been going through some major health messaging in order to support what will be in the highest good to move forward. From multiple head hits to temporarily debilitating illness, severe viruses, surprise physical health findings, and challenging fatigue…there’s a theme of physical body nurturing being a focal point.

What may appear like a health crisis is the body’s way of bestowing a blessing in the form of a wise message from the higher self to help course correct us and/or heed the importance of supporting the integration of new energy like we’ve never experienced before.

At the same time I’m hearing from others who are deepening into this Winter womb within and honoring and moving through transitional shifts and new life with extra rich, cocreative presence and weaving.

Some of the messaging includes slowing down, resting, heeding personal needs, listening and observing with curiosity, approaching things in new ways, and surrendering outmoded patterns that work against your vibrancy.

I’ve also heard from several people about completely losing their voices, which indicates to me a new, essence-based voice is preparing to come through for greater roles of leadership, creative expression, connection, and elevated resonance in alignment with the Cosmic frequencies now ready to emerge.

So, if you find yourself receiving a physical tap on the shoulder to slow down, embrace the changes, and breathe into the possibility, it may be of great benefit to pay attention to the messaging so that you can consciously partner in the dance of your potential that is rebirthing.

In many ways we are each wombing our own new selves – being mother and father to the incredible consciousness awaiting to emerge.

Perhaps that’s why I keep finding nests and my nest mobile grows.

I now have thirteen bird nests that join the wasp nests and partial beehives that I’ve found on the forest floor.

The idea of weaving my own womb of creation into being excites me and feels like such a gift to be able to do so consciously.

Personally I’ve felt a lot of relief alongside a revving up, as I’ve been transitioning things. It’s interesting to experience how even a way of life I loved can feel so good to release because a new way feels much more inviting. Things are happening with greater ease and fuller embodied empowerment.

In the meantime, Winter rolls on and we were excited to receive a snowstorm on Saturday – same day as the planetary alignment – that brought us a fresh six plus inches here, but much more at the top of our go-to ski mountain.

It was so otherworldly beautiful on the slopes after the snowfall.

One of my favorite landscapes to be surrounded by – especially the crystalline flocked tree beings.

More snow looks to be coming as we transition into February, so our heavier snow may come later as I was feeling. Crossing fingers, toes, and wings that that will be the case and continue.

In the meantime, slowing down and shifting gears is something the season invites.

Savoring moments and stretching experience into timelessness has been key to me.

Some of the things I’ve been doing is lingering in bed in the morning, making big hearty breakfasts, baking more, watching the birds while slowly sipping a latte in the morning, ending my days early to just snuggle in a blanket on the couch and watch an evening movie or series, enjoying the infrared sauna and indoor exercise routines, catching up on finishing artsy creations that have been on my list of wants, deepening with my crystals and crystal skulls, tending to my inner garden (literally and metaphorically), reviewing some favorite book passages and enjoying some magickal new fun ones, brainstorming ideas for my new projects, writing out and finessing my plans and daily routines to implement as the new norm, and planning trips. We’ve also started spending more overnights with the family since the babies departed, and have several more upcoming, which involve fun and board games from our childhood.

At the same time, I also recognize the blessings of what I’m able to do and the gift of feeling relaxed, while others go through contrasting experiences. From this space I am able to send support, however, and recognize how we all balance each other out as one collective community in times of need.

Gratitude is a mainstay in my life.

I wanted to leave you with this photo of a pink whale cloud swimming across the sunset a couple of nights ago and this message I channeled for The Speakers last year, which was part of one of my Talks With Crystal Skulls videos I shared back in April of 2024 – Episode 7 Crystal Skulls as Vessels for Direct Communication.

It was brought to my attention by someone just recently who shared, “The message from The Speakers in Episode 7 moved me deeply, thank you. It was the exact thing I needed to hear with everything going on.”

I decided to transcribe it here, in case it speaks to you too:

“Like the stars twinkle across the night sky, this – our welcoming of illuminated pulse to be with you once again. We feel your frustration and concern about the many ways in which your world is unwrapping the thickness that’s been shoveled upon you. You find it hard to breathe at times, from below the rubble of fallen trials that crumble by their own undoing. We cannot do the undigging for you, but assure you there are those of you close to surfacing. And when you do, the breath you take will feel like the first, as it will be in fact from the air of another era you have awakened. Of course we don’t know time, as you think it to be, so these words are only from the you who operates in this space to understand. Take the many hands that reach deep into the soil of the past, for the you of the future is one of these many hands who has walked the path before. While the two of you meet, you realize you had nothing to fear for this is not a trek of unknown spaces. It is one of familiar faces and the many celebrating rights of passage your true breath awakens. Once merged, your strength will surpass that of anyone who would rather hold you back. Listen to the calling under night’s watch of falling into the weightlessness of astral travels. What you call sleep, we would say is buoyancy of spirit and therefore these in between hours are necessary to receive that which cannot enter your day to day…at least not yet. Tend to your physical, even though it will not be the same, for you need its temple to incubate the ark of truth within unfurling. Do not be fooled or thrown off course by anything you see in coming days that tries to leach to pieces crumbling within. Stay the course. Stand together. Follow the true pulse that never asks of you anything, but to be. No matter who, the true voice is one that does not reign you in, nor cause you fear, nor takes away your pulse to tone by choice of heart’s will. Let these words, and what’s between, sink into the marrow of your existence here. Look to the starlit sky when in doubt and the twinkle will be a wink to your quandary.”

And if you’re interested in any new crystal companions to support these times we’re in, there’s eight lapis lazuli cosmic eggs remaining – I updated the listing with new videos and photos to make it easier and to show off their beauty and natural portals. I’ve continued to add some new, amazing Tahoe Quartz and Sierra Smoky/Citrines periodically. I share the Tahoe Quartz both on this website and in my Instagram stories as they guide me to, so many have been spoken for recently even before announcing here, including some of the first giant guardian releases and several other personal releases I didn’t know would be moving on. I can’t remember now which pieces in the listings are new additions, but there’s still several special ones available (some I’m especially surprised haven’t been homed yet) and I’m feeling like I may share a post upcoming about the energy of these crystals some more.
