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 spe...

You are amazing

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...

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 classe...

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-Januar...

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 ...
