You are special - because you're YOU.

Hello, beautiful you!

I’m writing today to check in with you. How are you doing with all the changes going on in the world and probably in your life as well?

I recently recorded a new video on YouTube sharing my personal reflections and tools for navigating these interesting times. You can watch it HERE. (I hope it brings you a moment of inspiration and peace.)

I’ve been taking a break from the online space really to honor the call of this season, to clear out information clutter and lean into my own insights. Stillness and making space for my “creative cave time” is always needed when I’m feeling a bit overloaded or need time to integrate the changes I’m experiencing so I can understand how I feel and not just follow blindly what others tell me I need. (Do you ever feel this way?)

In our fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught up in the constant flow of information, expectations, and the need to keep pushing forward. But what if, just for a moment, we allowed ourselves the permission to slow down, to rest, and to honor our need for stillness?

As a Manifestor in Human Design, I've always felt the pull of creativity, pouring my energy into various projects and then needing substantial rest before diving into the next endeavor. Our culture hasn't always valued this need for rest, but times are changing, and there's a collective call for more self-care, time for deep reflection, and energy healing.

In the midst of chaos and a seemingly never-ending roller coaster ride, it's crucial to carve out moments of hibernation, allowing ourselves to reset and tune-in to our own needs rather than succumbing to external pressures.

Nature has been a significant source of healing for me - journaling, breath work, meditation, painting and flower essences are also my go-to’s for my daily spiritual and grounding rituals. I've been drawn to the grounding energy of walnut flower essence lately, as it naturally creates a protective shell around your energy field while allowing your authentic self to shine through. In these times of shifts and awakenings, we need that stability and grounding more than ever right now!

Life's roller coaster can be quite the wild ride, with twists, turns, and unexpected loops. It's essential to equip ourselves with tools that allow us to express our emotions, release and let go, whether they be joy, pain, or pure jubilation. Without these tools, we risk feeling frozen on the ride, unable to breathe or fully experience the journey.

One of the best tools you can lean on right now is your breath. Amidst the chaos, distractions, and external noise, your breath remains your constant guide - it’s always there for you! Your breath offers you a reminder that in this very moment, you have everything you need. When anxiety creeps in, and the roller coaster ride feels overwhelming, that simple act of breathing can ground you and bring you back to the present moment.

Your breath brings you back to your heart.

I offer free guided meditations on Insight Timer, including the sipping breath. This sipping breath technique, in particular, is very simple and offers a quick reset, bringing calm and peace to your nervous system.

In times of scattered energy, as many light-workers, visionaries, nurturers, caregivers and big-hearted dreamers like you may be experiencing, drawing that energy back to yourself becomes crucial. Just like a weighted blanket provides comfort, intentionally drawing your energy back can bring a sense of stability and grounding.

As we approach the holiday season, consider what truly brings you comfort. This time of year isn’t about striving for perfection or meeting external expectations, but about nurturing yourself and finding joy in the simple pleasures. It’s about being of service for others and giving from a full cup. It’s about finding the balance between giving and receiving of love.

This includes self-love. Because when you feel better and more loving towards yourself, you naturally feel that same level of compassion and empathy for others. And that is definitely the shift we are all helping to create in our world right now.

Affirmations play a powerful role in shaping our thoughts and energies. One affirmation that recently resonated with me is, "I am special, because I exist, and that is enough." It's a simple, yet profound, reminder that being our true selves is enough.

It doesn’t mean to be complacent! It means…you truly are special! Yes, YOU. You came to this earth for a reason. Honor that. Celebrate that. Let your true colors shine and your unique gifts guide you.

You aren’t loved and special for what you do - but for who you are!

So, dear friend, as we navigate this roller coaster of life, remember that you are not alone. Embrace the tools that resonate with you, but always know that the most powerful tool lies within – your breath, your intuition, and the wisdom of your own heart.

Take a moment to celebrate yourself, acknowledging that you are special because you are YOU, and that, beautiful soul is enough.

Trust the guidance of your heart, and remember, you are on this journey for a reason. To watch my new YouTube video that dives more into this: visit HERE.
