New Moon Forecast for 2/11/21-2/27/21 *UPDATED*

The theme of this time is conscious choice. My guides have been giving me a lot of messages around how and why we make our choices. For example, there’s nothing wrong with making a safe choice that feels comfortable — but was it made out of fear? In the opposite energetic spectrum, making a bolder, more v...

You are amazing

This meditation begins by simply feeling and observing your subtle energy and vibration before transitioning to a mudra meditation for radiance and prosperity. Love yourself and feel the awe of being in awareness of self. <3

Candlelight Yin & Restorative for the New Moon

*Deep breaths* It seems like we’re all going through some interesting experiences lately, and this new moon will be an Aquarian party. With the moon, that will be SIX planets in Aquarius, and approaching the Saturn/Uranus square during mercury retrograde, it will be an adventurous ride for sure. ;-)

This 90-minute vir...

Today’s class recording

Hi everyone! It was good to see all who were able to participate in this morning’s Shakti Empower Hour. Unfortunately Mercury Retrograde offered me a technological snafu, and the video recording seems irreparable. I attempted to splice and piece it together, but even then the quality is poor. I must have been having some WI...

New book club for February!

This is one of my favorite books of all time. I remember discovering the late John O’Donohue through the poem “Beannacht,” which is the Gaelic word for “blessing.” When I made my first marketing postcards for yoga, I placed that poem on the back, and often read parts of it during classes. (You’ll find that poem on...

Full moon forecast for Jan. 28 to Feb. 11, 2021

There is a lot of Mars energy with this full moon, as the sun is beginning to make a square to Mars, which will be exact in the beginning of February, and the moon will square Mars tomorrow just after the exact full moon. This will activate some of the Mars/Uranus energy we experienced mid-January. AKA in non-astrological ter...

Protection prayer/invocation

Hi everyone!

I felt called to share my version of a protection prayer that I use before any type of spiritual work or session. I change parts of it up depending on what the session is for or the purpose, but it always validates that all work/energy/transmissions are aligned in love and for the highest good of all.

Love yourself by arriving to your mat and enjoying this practice that includes a meditation to release fear, deep twisting and hip openers on your back, as well as pigeon and forward folds. Give your body the sp...
