Happy Spring Equinox! I got to connect with some great plants in Florida for my spring meditation today. What do you do for spring renewal? This is the time of year where we start to see the seeds of intention that we have planted at the beginning of the year start to come to fruition. May this be a blessed season for all 🌱🌷🌿🌺🍀🌸🌴 #banyantree #orchids #palmtrees #eucalyptustree #coconuts #springflowers #springflowers🌸 #springbreak #springequinox #jupiterflorida #chiforhealing #gaiacentricliving (at Jupiter, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqCFIgkucrG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today is Imbolc a pagan holiday representing the midway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox! This marks the beginning of the end of winter. Now the energy starts to shift to moving up from the earth preparing for spring. The days become longer, the sun shines a little brighter, and pretty soon you start to see signs of spring on the way. I’m already seeing the tips of my daffodils protruding from the earth. Even though it’s going to be bitter cold this weekend we know that before long the warmer days will return. Take some time to go within. Find those seeds of intention that you are looking to plant this spring. Today the process has begun, the work that is unseen but we know that it is happening just underneath the surface waiting for the time when spring has sprung 🌱 #imbolc #imbolcblessings #midway #midwinter #springiscoming #gowithin #setintentions #plantyourseeds #chiforhealing #gaiacentricliving (at Middletown, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoJJigxOOyn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Lunar New Year! For 2023, we transition from Water Tiger to Water Rabbit. This is an extremely Yin energy more so than last year due to the fact that the Tiger's energy is so fast paced and merciless. The softer qualities of the rabbit suggest a more mild year for 2023. The rabbit is the Yin Water to last year's Yang Water zodiac, at least in Eastern Astrology.  Yin Water is yielding with quiet and calm properties but just like the nature of water itself can be very deep and mysterious carrying secrets in the dark. This may cause trouble when trying to distinguish the truth. The mind can be more prone to distraction from belief systems and perspectives so be aware of the thoughts and belief systems you reinforce with yourself.  The water element is also often associated with fear so be mindful not to weigh fear over logic. To mitigate this, silence is encouraged. Take time to silence your mind and make room for the wisdom that this year provides. Being gentle with oneself will be key this year.  You may also notice a more easygoing and cooperative energy this year as the rabbit is a pure Yin Wood sign. You will see these attributes manifesting in your environment and people in general will be more prone to having different viewpoints making a willingness to compromise more easy. to learn more about the Rabbit's influence on other signs you can check out the blog from @5elementsoracle in my newsletter https://mailchi.mp/chiforhealing/new-year-rabbit-6026297 #lunarnewyear #yearoftherabbit #chinesenewyear #fiveelements #yin #5elements #chinesemedicine #chineseastrology #chiforhealing #gaiacentricliving (at Middletown, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnw0pCGusyF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. Looking back on 2022 it was another challenging year for many. There were certainly lots of blessings too but on a lot of levels life has been interesting to say the least. I certainly had my fair share of challenges in 2022. But somehow we have all made it through. If you are reading this that means you are still here and moving through the ups and downs of life. I feel there has been a mass exodus lately of people leaving the earth with their work done until the next incarnation. It is up to those that remain to continue to carry the light through the darkness of the world. No matter what you have gone through in the past year you get a fresh start starting tomorrow. What will you do with this opportunity? What intentions are you setting forth for 2023? What small changes can you make in your life? Think of 3 steps that you can take to see your intentions fulfilled. Is there some sort of ritual or ceremony that you do at the end of the year before we head into a new one? It can be something as simple as taking time to write in a journal. Any way that works for you go within to get the answers that you desire. Sometimes that is all we need to reset and recharge before we move forward in life. Maybe take a bath, a walk in the woods, have a ceremonial fire, play an instrument, meditate, or anyway that you can get quiet and be still. This is what winter is all about, All of nature slows down and we can take the opportunity to do so as well. Despite all that we have gone through we can find comfort in the lessons we have learned and be grateful to be alive on this earth at this wild time to be present. I am certainly grateful for all of your support this year. For every one who I saw as a client or came to one of my classes or workshops, or purchased a product from me I appreciate you so much! I feel truly blessed to be able to do what I love helping others to heal by using holistic healing, chinese medicine, plant based living, and nature connection. I look forward to working together more in 2023 where we can find ways to be what we want to be. #happynewyear #newyear #newyearintentions (at Middletown, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm2Pr9EpD5g/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Merry Christmas 🎄 This was my first Christmas morning alone in a long time. It has been a really nice peaceful day so far with Reishi and I. Started off with celery juice and then did some cleaning, cooking, and wrapping. I am staying warm with the fire and I am enjoying my Christmas cactus that always blooms for Christmas! I will have some family coming tonight and I am looking forward to more celebrating. By the way the first wreath pictured I made from boughs that came down in the storm. The other two wreaths we got this year supported a friend’s kids cub scouts and a local farm. I hope wherever you are today you had a peaceful day with family and friends. May all your wishes come true this holiday season and into the new year. I truly appreciate all of your support this year. Special thanks to those who supported my business and in my life! #christmas #merrychristmas #happyholidays #christmastree #christmasdecor #christmaswreath #celeryjuice #medicalmedium #christmascactus #woodstove #chiforhealing #gaiacentricliving (at Middletown, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmmwTIEJCAO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Join me tonight at 7 for tong ren healing class. This distance energy healing can be shared with anyone anywhere. The more we come together with intention for healing, the more we can heal ourselves, and the world. In these tumultuous times we are living in and the busyness of this time of year take time for yourself to focus on healing. Once you link in through zoom we will start with a grounding meditation. Then each person will comment with 3 things they would like healed and we will tap for each person. Then we each will share 3 people that we would like to send healing. During the class find a comfortable place to relax, breathe, and receive healing energy 🙏❤️🕯 Check the link in my profile to sign up. #tongren #tongrenhealing #distancehealing #energyhealing #reiki #reikihealing #selfhealing #chiforhealing #gaiacentricliving (at The Red Barn in Durham) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmMZbmVOPrd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Thanksgiving! From the bottom of my heart I want to wish you a blessed holiday! I want to humbly thank you all for being a part of my community. I feel so blessed to be able to help people on their healing journeys. I get so many messages from different people that I have worked with, used my products, or taken classes with me. I truly appreciate every one. Many people have gone through tough times lately and it is important now more than ever that we come together to help each other and find the little things to be grateful for. With so many struggling, I do not take anything for granted. I know what it is like to deal with health challenges and the ripple effect it can have on your life. Just the other day I had a moment to reflect on the year and how far things have come despite moving through my ongoing health journey. It goes in ebbs and flows and sometimes we just have to ride the waves. We do the best we can and that is good enough. Give yourself credit for how far you have come. Honor all of the work you have done to better yourself. Allow yourself to rest and relax this week. I hope you can feel comfort and support. No matter where you are and who you are with, know that you are loved!

It was a magical misty morning. Very appropriate for this time of year! You could almost feel the ancestors in the fog reach out for connection. The trees spirits were making their presence known. Especially now that most of the leaves have fallen the bare trucks and branches were illuminated with the light all around. Enjoy this magical time of year🍂🧙‍♂️ #mistymorning #magicalmoments #ancestors #treespirit #chiforhealing #gaiacentricliving #beearthcentered #natureconnection #fog (at Middletown, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkjhPAjJFGu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Halloween 🎃 What magic will you be brewing up today? My magic is connecting with nature, working with foraged dried herbs and making teas, canning veggies from the farm, and putting up some fun lights! Today is also known as Samhain. Many people are unaware of the origins of Halloween. Formerly an ancient Celtic tradition celebrating the final harvest, it was also a way to welcome the darker time of the year. Samhain (pronounced “SAH-win”) represents the midway point between the equinox and the winter solstice. It is also the time of year where the veil between worlds is at its thinnest. So it is a great time to connect with your ancestors and loved ones who have crossed over to the other side. So take time today to work with your magic, connect with your ancestors, and have a blessed day 🙏 #halloween #samhain #magic #workyourmagic #connectwithnature #ancestors #chiforhealing #gaiacentricliving #fallfoliage #mumsandpumpkins #driedherbs #wildforaged #canning #pickledpeppers #autumnsunrise #honeymushroom #holidaylights (at Middletown, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkYFJfyuBJl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
