Happy New Year!

Posted on by

Well, here we are again, fellow humans! The beginning of a new year. A fresh start, and an opportunity to reflect and let go of the past, making room for the present, and the year ahead. 2025 is also the Year of the Snake, in the Chinese Zodiac and lunar calendar. It will bring an end to 2024’s Year of the Dragon on January 28th.

The Year of the Snake will begin January 29th and continue through February 16th, 2026. While there are many fans of reptiles, including snakes, for some they evoke fear, dislike, and other less than pleasant responses. The Chinese Zodiac philosophy provides a more neutral, desirable perspective, including a representation of transformation, renewal, and spiritual growth. Just as snakes shed their skin to allow for new growth. Shedding the old that they are ready to let go of, which may also have parasites attached. Making room for the new, fresh, healthy, clean skin. Out with the old, in with the new.

The Year of the Snake has the same references attached, so consider that as we enter into 2025. A year of letting go, cleansing, healing, allowing space for an emergence of fresh perspectives, more self-expression, sharing, and shining of the real YOU. In reality, I have just described what each year, as well as every single day, can be. But this is a fun way to be reminded and encouraged to identify what is non-beneficial in our lives. Validating this can empower us to make a choice to keep and remain as we are, or remove and replace, or take steps to do so.

We are in charge, and the creators of our own realities, our own lives. We have the power to give ourselves permission to let go, move on, and change or enhance the direction we are going at any time. The ending of one calendar year, and the beginning of the next, always draws attention to the concept of “out with the old, in with the new.” While there may have been a time and place for old concepts and beliefs, and some may still, and perhaps always be, pertinent to you, you may find some to be outdated. When you let go of thoughts, ideas, and behaviors that you no longer need or want, you create the space for new concepts and beliefs that benefit you in the present.

Letting go of some things may seem easier than others. There may be non-beneficial patterns that have become ingrained habits. You may experience emotions in your body that make it feel safer and more comfortable to hang on, and frightening or even terrifying to change or let go. Using the meditation techniques that I practice and teach can help your body feel less afraid and more confident to move forward. They can create a stable foundation of safety, as well as provide techniques to consciously create change. You can let go of fear, anxiety, and other discomforts from your body using these tools.

Physicists have proven that everything is energy. Emotions, thoughts, stress, everything! The meditation techniques I’m sharing about can help you let go of unwanted, non-beneficial energies so you have more room for energy that benefits you in the present. The style of grounding that I practice helps the body feel safer and less afraid. It also acts as a tool to release unwanted energy. Learn more about grounding, including how to practice it, at my other blog post, “Have You Heard About Grounding?” at this link.

If you have questions about grounding, meditation, and changing unwanted thoughts, patterns and habits, feel free to reach out. Happy New Year and the best to you and your animal friends in 2025!

Happy 2022 to You!

It’s hard to believe that we are here at the beginning of yet another year. I hope your 2022 is off to a good start and that you are well, your body is healthy and you have some optimistic excitement for the days ahead.

It has been two years since the emergence of COVID-19 and the global pandemic that followed. What a time this has been for us all! It seems just as we start to get more relaxed and comfortable, a new variant shows up interfering with us going further in that direction.

Despite that, one important thing that has occurred is that many people have had more time to reflect. This ultimately has given them the opportunity to get more in touch with themselves and what they truly want to create in their life. And that’s a good thing! People are quitting jobs in record numbers. Exploring new industries and types of employment. Going back to school, learning new skills, but most importantly, spending extra time honoring themselves and what is truly important to them.

I definitely have enjoyed more quiet, meditative time. Increasing the use of my learned meditation techniques, not only while actively meditating, but also throughout my day, has helped me experience deeper and more consistent calmness. Grounding, specifically, has become an even stronger presences. Helping me to relax and reassure my body during these challenging times. Grounding from the the first chakra, near the base of the spine is a way to also let go of energies we don’t want, such as anxiety, depression, fear and lonliness.

Meditation has helped me get clearer about what I want to create in my life. This includes continuing my meditation practice and doing more energy work and spiritual healing. For myself, but also sharing this with others.

In addition to focusing more fully on providing sessions to assist people with their animal friends, I also am reestablishing my first practice, which was offering sessions for humans. While readings with animals always include their humans because we impact each other so much, I also want everyone to know that I offer sessions for people with or without animals in their lives.

Aura readings, spiritual awareness readings, past life readings, as well as energy healing and asking specific questions about situations in your life, all are options during a reading. You are welcome to ask questions about your animal friends during your individual “people” reading. You may also wish to ask about work, relationships, your spiritual path, psychic experiences you have had, blocks to changing patterns or creating more of what you want. These are some examples, but you can ask questions on any topic you would like feedback and insight about.

I have always had the option of long distance readings and healings. With the onset of the pandemic and because of the variants and ongoing spikes in COVID cases, I am now offering remote sessions only. Which actually allows anyone, anywhere to receive a session, easily and conveniently. You never have to get out of your pajamas, put your shoes on or leave your home!

If you’d like to learn more or feel ready to schedule a session, feel free to call or text me at 360-601-4358 or click here to email me!
