musings of the heart
What if we imagined our hearts as fierce, radiant, and discerning rather than fragile and in need of shielding and armor? What if we listened to and moved with the rhythm of our own heartbeat? What if the strength of our pulse, our inner song, was its own form of protection? What if the flow of harmony was stronger than the stagnation of pride?
working through jealousy
Remembering my own humanity, beyond the jealousy “demon,” I realized that much like the courageous, tender-hearted people who ask for my support, I too, deserved to receive support.
deeper listening, allowing things to come to light
What do the words ‘begin, rest, healing, structure’ mean to you? What are you allowing to come to light in the next six months? What things might you be prematurely forcing into focus? Pause and listen. Where can you listen more deeply in your life? Where is there dissonance? Where is there harmony?
unlearning a language & weaving a different one
What language(s), beyond words, are you currently enacting? What language(s) can you weave through your senses, your body? What narrative(s) are you / can you unlearn?
shifting my relationship with anger
What emotion are you not allowing yourself to feel? Or perhaps, what emotion do you not feel safe to feel in your body or feel safe to express with others?
yearning for, seeking more generous possibilities
Boggs suggests that we need to “change the cultural images or the symbols that play such a pivotal role in molding us into who we are…Art can help us to envision the new cultural images we need to grow our souls.”
Hypnosis, while no panacea, is a highly creative practice that encourages us to use a resource and technology inherent to us all: our imagination. It offers a compassionate auditing of the beliefs, stories, and habits that may be limiting our ability to embody the change we seek. Hypnosis helps us to unearth the poetry within, revealing ideas, possibilities and solutions that might not have been as previously apparent to us.

Letting the earth have its way
YES. Let earth have its way with me, in the most sensual ways possible. Let it turn my to-do lists and screens into flowers, fungi, roots, and cloud formations.
Shifting, reconfiguring, reconsidering
The deeper I move into spring, the more I desire to slow down. I am shifting, reconfiguring, and reconsidering my approach to and rhythm with, well, everything — including my practice.
Event: Finding Ground, Guided Trance with Self Love Tribute (Virtual)
For this month’s Finding Ground I spoke with my friend Elia Diane Fushi Bekene about their work as an artist, healing practitioner & creator of the Ancestral Healing Tarot Deck. We talked archetypes, tarot, imagination, co-creating with spirit & ancestors, finding home/belonging amid displacement and alienation, and SO much more.
