A Blog For Mama’s Mind, Body, and Spirit
The Duality of Change
We live in a world of duality, where every high is matched with an equal low. There is good in the bad, pain with the joy. But you should know by now, I’m always going to focus on the good. I never deny the bad, I just focus my attention. So here I am, sharing some of my good in hopes that it encourages you to take time to focus on how much has changed in YOUR life as well.
Nature & Mama’s Mental Health
I go to nature for everything and I want to encourage you to do the same. In no way am I undermining the importance of talk therapy or other modalities of reaching mental wellness. I believe they are all necessary for different seasons and reasons. But I am suggesting that there may be an easy solution to alleviate some of our everyday discomfort all year. I do wonder if it is the disconnection from Mama Earth that influences much of our maternal mental health concerns anyway. What if we turned to the trees and trusted they were listening? What if we believed the birds carried messages for us if we could just sit still to hear. What if swimming in the lake, river, or ocean could wash away our worries? What if the sun could melt away the pain?
Are You Living or Are You Just Alive?
A Crown Chakra Reflection. What I’ve learned this month is that fear is only valid when I lack trust in myself, God, and life. When I chose to believe in the goodness of life, the goodness of the day, the goodness of people, and most importantly the goodness of God there is no room for fear. When I walk in remembrance of who I am and who’s image I was created, I can walk in my Divinity and allow myself to have Divine experiences. I can live and be happy. I can have lively happiness. I can have a jolly July.
A Third Eye Exploration: Where do you run to?
This month has involved a lot of meditation, visualization, fasting, and movement just like most months do for me. However, this month also required more moments of solitude and quiet. Have you ever felt like there was too much noise in your mind? Like you can’t decipher between your voice and everyone else’s? I had been feeling like that for a while. I know for me, it stemmed from too much doing and not enough being. I needed to slow down.
Ctrl Alt Del- Let’s Write a New Story
This month I’ve rinsed myself of limiting beliefs related to money, love, motherhood, and work. Things that I had been accepting as true, but that were limiting me from living life authentically for me. I want to share some of these revelations with you in hopes that maybe you’ll free yourself to believe something different too.
A Mother’s Day Reflection: What Will Your Legacy Be?
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about my legacy. What do I want to be remembered for? How will I shift things for my bloodline? What do I want to pass on to my children and future descendants? Which is timely given we are beginning our journey with the throat chakra whose main focus is the creation of that which will remain long after your death. In other words: your legacy.
Living From The Heart: You Want Me To Do What, God?!
When your heart is open, life can show up for you. You can receive the seemingly random nudges to do things outside of your norm and remain open to the goodness life presents you with as a result. You trust that what you do benefits the whole. You are not separate, you are one with life.
Know Yourself, Mama!
As I’ve held space for my clients and I to explore our solar plexus chakra this month, I noticed a big big BIG theme: KNOW THYSELF! From the birthing room to the yoga mat. From yoni steams to group events I watched this theme show up ALL month long. Even in my personal life. We have been taught to look outside ourselves for everything. Yet, another option exists for guidance through life, and that is your inner compass.
Solar Plexus Chakra: Confidence in Motherhood
It’s ironic that my son handled his shift to his own room so easefully, but here I am second guessing myself. Our children have much to teach us. May we all move with the confidence of Kairo in our decision making, and never look back. Be confident that you are a great mother!
Yoni Steams & DIY Projects
Reflecting on the journey through the sacral chakra. This picture is an image of me building the yoni steam throne I use with my clients. It is a throne of empowerment. A place to understand, heal, and empower yourself through womb work. Mark my words, this will be the place where many women claim their viktories!
Sacral Chakra: “I’m Coming Out!”
Here are resources for feeling powerfully creative and pleasured in life. We have so much power in our bodies and womb space that we aren’t utilizing fully on a day-to-day basis. This is partially due to not being taught how. My goal this month is to help unlock some of this potential together!
Feeling Safe Through The Changes
Reflect on the insight gained from your journey through the root chakra. Know that your true sense of safety comes from within and you can feel safe even through the changes of life.
Root Chakra: Time To Hibernate
t’s time to know yourself on a deeper level, experience more harmony in your life, and restore balance to your temple (physically, energetically, spiritually, and emotionally). Join me for the journey home to yourself! It’s time to hibernate and get intimate with our root chakra. It’s time to feel safe and at ease.
Here are some additional resources to support you.
Miracles for Mamas
Dreams really do come true if you let them and God wants to blow your mind. Don’t hold back your giving this season (or ever), mama and this includes to yourself. And know that even if it feels like you have nothing to give, your presence is more than enough. Give the simple things, expect nothing in return, and watch what you receive anyway. Be a miracle and receive a miracle.
Happy Thanksgiving
Just like you strengthen your muscles at the gym, you have to strengthen your gratitude muscle. You have to train yourself to be optimistic. You have to train yourself to see the light. You have to train yourself to find the blessings. Strengthen your gratitude muscle and let life be good. Intentionally direct your focus to the good…over and over and over again.
The Gift of Presence
A reminder of all that is received in the present moment and an invitation to deepen your practice of being present.
Let’s Play Pretend! Who Will You Be?
Who do you want to be? How do you want motherhood to look for you? Get creative. Set an intention. And embrace possibility!
Peace of Mind
When the world seems to be falling apart, there is one thing you can still control…..yourself! Keep turning within to find peace and don’t look outside of yourself. Continue to strive to be better. That is how you do your part to change the world.
Slow Down, Mama!
This is an invitation to return to the flows of nature. It’s autumn, a time of harvest. Slow down to make space to receive more.
From Fearful to Faithful
You have a calling over your life. You are being asked to grow into something new. It’s uncomfortable. It’s scary. But it’s necessary and you can do it.
