Today as I closed my eyes and surrendered in child’s pose to life and all that I don’t know, I saw the image of a person walking down a path in a beautiful forest. It just so happens that the person is climbing up a small hill and looking down at their feet to make sure they don’t trip. They don’t see what is a few steps ahead of them over the hill, they just see the immediate few steps they are about to take.

So often as we move through life, our gaze is at our immediate hurdles that we are trying to navigate and we don’t look up to see what lies ahead and even if we do, the steps further down the road may be blocked for us to see.

What I got from this is keep going even when the path doesn’t give you immediate results. Keep taking one step after the other and keep breathing and believing that you are going in the right direction. The few steps ahead of you are all you ever need to take action on. In the meantime, don’t forget to look up to take in and breathe with the scenery and the beauty that already surrounds you.

In this video, I am talking about self-love and how working with obstacles to self-love can be a wonderful healing tool. In my private sessions, I often run into issues of self-love. We often mistake the kind of interaction we had with our caregivers as love. Some of us have been ignored, so we ignore ourselves. Some of us have been hurt, so we hurt ourselves.

Self-love is the truth that remains when we peel away the trauma, sadness, anger, stories and programming to repeat what we thought was love. I am offering an online Biofield Tuning session to give you some energetic support in retrieving and releasing some of these patterns. I hope you make this investment to join this online group healing. A recording will be available for those who cannot join live.

In this video, I am diving into what I mean when I say ‘Inner Child’ as a healer. There is a lot to know and understand when it comes to the inner child. Relating to your inner child is one of the most effective and powerful tools you have in healing your energetic wounds. I am explaining some of the ways that your inner children may try to communicate with you and how you can begin to connect with them.

Here are the references I mentioned about the ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) Study.

• A brief article that summarizes the ACE Study results and gives a sample ACE survey you can take.
• A wonderful book that explains the ACE Study and dives deep into explaining how childhood wounding can affect our health and life as an adult.

I am running a one day retreat in Massachusetts where we will dive deep into connecting with our inner children. We will practice gentle intentional movement to awaken our inner children who are ready to talk to us. We will work with sacred inquiries and energy healing to begin to tend to our inner child wounding. I hope you can join this beautiful soul retreat.

Some days are not for big questions of life, some days are reserved for sweet comfort. Drinking your tea with all its flavors, smelling the aroma of a home cooked meal, sitting under a warm blanket, letting your cat lick your hand and inhaling the life that is all here for you. Getting lost in the seeming ordinariness of our lives, with all its deliciousness, just for the sake of it.

What makes you feel cozy, warm, content, loving inside and outside? What are your favorite routines for sweet comfort? The Danish people call it Hygge, a feeling of warm, cozy, delightful fluffiness that comes from enjoying all the things that make you feel at home. I would love to know what sweet comfort means for you. Feel free to share with me by commenting below.

If you feel like you need a moment to check-in with your body and feel into what you need most, feel free to download this meditation.

With love and light,
