The mind likes to invent all kinds of problems and obstacles that keep us repeating the same addictive thought loops. Are your thoughts keeping you paralyzed in fear or angst? Have you allowed the mind to distract you from the truly important work? Are you letting negative thoughts hold you back from change or growth? Do you keep dwelling on the same issue incessantly until it’s difficult to think of anything else?

Sit and watch the mind for a moment. Where do these thoughts originate? What are the physical and emotional responses they generate? What are they asking you to witness? What are they allowing you to avoid? Follow the trail and see where it leads. The destination may surprise you.

Thoughts may be just thoughts, but they still ask to be witnessed. Burying them, distracting yourself, or allowing them to dissipate in the moment might feel like the right solution, but the energy doesn’t simply go away. It can eventually manifest into another form of energy such as an emotion or physical symptom. Or the thoughts will get louder until they feel seen.

So if something is distracting you or weighing heavily on the mind, watch it instead of trying to push through. Witness with love and compassion the ways in which your mind is trying to keep you safe. And if you find that a thought pattern isn’t serving you, see it, feel it, and say: Thank you for coming into my awareness, but I am no longer in alignment with this energy. I release you into the light to be transmuted for my highest good and for the highest good of all.

And remember, you are more powerful than the mind. ❤️

The ego wants it all.
Validation.
Approval.
Sacrifice.
Suffering as proof of worthiness.
But the heart knows,
Love doesn’t ask for these things.
Underneath it all,
This human suit we wear,
The choices we make,
And the responsibilities we carry,
The energy of Love is eternal.
It already exists without asking,
Without changing anything.
And there it will remain,
From searching to recognition,
Separation to union,
Awareness to devotion,
And the infinite space.
There we are.

Life isn’t always a straight line.
Nothing is black and white,
This or that,
Right or wrong,
Choose or be chosen.
We will never know how many galaxies there are,
Because it’s infinite.
And so are our choices,
Our opportunities...
We are living them all at once.
And so you can wait for the straight line,
The one thing,
The right decision,
The steady direction,
The ultimate purpose...
It’s a powerful way to serve.
But some of us can never be the one thing.
Choices and opportunities are ever present.
Energy is in constant flow.
Soul connections around every corner.
Sometimes dharma is a gift, not a line.
Some of us are here to plant many seeds,
To be the air and carry them in multiple directions.
To expand,
Create possibilities,
New ideas,
And light the flame of inspiration.
Don’t worry if it feels like you’re always searching,
Because that might be how you serve.
You can wait...
Or you can walk away.
You don’t have to follow an ultimatum.
You can let go as easily as you daydream.
And change your mind at any point,
Before you become stuck.
Before you surrender your power.
Before you choose duty...
Over love.
But don’t wait for it.
BE it.
And let it flow.

“The whole of the Island of Apples is related to the Station of Integration in the Avalonian Cycle of Healing. Stepping through the portal of this Station, we allow ourselves to experience the truth of our innate beauty, perfection, and oneness... see yourself as the whole and sacred being that you are, blessing your shadow for the gifts it brings while owning your priestess self and all the ways you have already reclaimed her. Accept that where you are on your journey is exactly where you need to be, without judgment or expectation. Never forget that you are already whole...already One...already a cherished and vital part of the body of the Mother. You need only to release and remember.” - Jhenah Telyndru

Scorpio uncovers the true identity beneath the mask. It navigates the deepest and heaviest waters. This intensity certainly doesn’t make Scorpio season easy, but it is through this transformational power that we discover the truth.

We tend to associate change with heaviness. Either we aim to release the burdens we carry or we feel that transformation comes with burdens. But what if the burdens are simply a blindfold keeping us hidden in a false identity or sense of safety? By keeping our eyes closed to the truth of who we are, we create the heaviness that keeps us stuck. Change (death/rebirth) doesn’t have to mean drastic reconfiguration or sacrifice. All we need to do is release the false stories and open our eyes. Show our real face to the world.

I tend to make big decisions during Scorpio season, but not necessarily because of a redirect. This fixed, powerful, and highly psychic energy simply doesn’t leave space for complacency. We may not want to see the truth, but it’s there just the same. Staying blind to it only increases the intensity and heaviness.

The season starts off with a new moon in Scorpio on Sunday, opposite Uranus. This is a highly unpredictable and impulsive configuration that may just rip the blindfold right off. But it doesn’t need to if we choose to do the work ourselves. I’m not going to lie, I’m a little bit nervous about traveling on this day because of the shock nature of the transit, but I have faith in my decisions aligning with the highest good. And spending Scorpio season and Samhain in magical Britain is absolutely following the call of my heart. ❤️

Are you ready to explore your truth?

There are no rules to life. There are no structures or institutions more powerful than your own divinity. Only fear prevents us from believing that we can be happy and have everything we need. This fear is designed by the very systems prospering from our believed lack of worth. Don’t let them convince you that freedom leads to suffering. Freedom leads to awakening.

Call yourself out on your own beliefs. You don’t need to stay trapped in a routine that is killing your joy. You don’t need to appease the people that are causing you to suffer in doubt. You don’t need to follow man-made rules to connect to spirituality. You don’t need to feel shame by being yourself. You don’t need to align with anything that boxes you in or creates division.

You can create your own path and be successful. You can walk away from your conditioning and programmed belief systems. You can align with your gifts and authenticity and manifest everything you need. Step confidently into your worth and feel your own power. Create your own reality. Don’t worry about what the matrix is doing, or the next strategy of divide and shame. Align with love and join the great awakening. 🙌🏻

Every breath signals a beginning and an end.
Every song and spoken word creates universes.
Every decision reverberates through dimensions of time.
Every time you open your eyes, you create a new story.
It’s all so simple, yet expansive beyond your wildest dreams.
It’s all so unknown, yet you are the creator.
Of time, of life, of love,
The far-reaching galaxies of your imagination.
The answers you seek are the questions you create.
You are intelligent design.

Autumn sings her hymns of letting go.
Let it go, the leaves whisper
as they transform and release
effortlessly into the ground.
Let it go, shout the voices from my past.
Let it go, begs my karmic path.

And there were times when I let go,
instead of speaking for my truth.
There were times letting go trapped
me in a cycle of complacency.
Rather than fight for what I wanted
or how I felt,
I let it go.
When I asserted boundaries and they
backfired, I surrendered.
I let go of my ego.
I let go of my voice.
I let go of my worth.

And now I know that harmony
doesn’t mean surrender.
It doesn’t mean settling, enduring.
It doesn’t compromise or accept
duty over love.
I know that wanting something happens
for a reason. To teach me
that I’m worthy enough to receive it.
And when doubt stands in the way,
tries to convince me that I’m better off,
or that I should give up,
I let doubt go.

The Tantric tradition acknowledges the experiences and pleasures of life as a path to enlightenment. The senses provide keys to the ultimate realization of pleasure and purpose. Being here, being present, and experiencing wonder open the deeper channels to ecstasy and bliss.

The body is a universe in itself, and the movement and vibration of our personal energetic currents determine how we show up and connect. With intention and understanding, the subtle becomes deeply profound and purposeful — showing up in our relationships, offerings, and through every interaction and encounter.

Every breath, every moment contains an ecstatic dance of beauty, pleasure, and transformation. The practice allows us to tap into this power of being. And once you’re there, you’ll never look back. 🧡🍁

Happy Equinox, Mabon, and first day of Libra season! I love this time of the year (almost) as much as the Summer Solstice window. On the surface, there is much to be appreciated. Beautiful fall colors, plenty of food to be harvested, idyllic temperatures, and the excitement of upcoming holidays. Yet underneath that beauty and bounty there is deep transformative energy. Nature begins her retreat, displaying all that she worked hard to produce. And energetically, we also prepare for hibernation, honoring what we’ve accomplished and letting go of the things that didn’t fit.

The other night as I was falling asleep, I suddenly shot out of bed to write the following words:

“The things you desire are as beautiful and perilous as autumn leaves.

“Look away and all that you love becomes vibrant without you.

“The last of your opportunities fading with the waning sun.”

I will write a longer post about the meaning behind those words eventually, but the big message is *don’t look away.* If there’s something you want, make it a priority before the opportunity passes. It can be so easy to find distractions and excuses, but life is short and we have no idea how long we have. It’s like autumn in New England. It may last three months, it may last three days. But however long it lasts, beauty is there if we open our eyes and hearts to see it. The balance of Libra isn’t about compromising to accommodate the status quo. It’s about learning how to create harmony with all of the things we love and desire — a magical dance of temperance and pleasure. A Tantric dance, if you will. 😉

Because why else are we here, if not to have these transformational experiences of life?

Go for it.

Resting in the silence,
attention pulled by memories.
Emotions follow energy,
energy attached to words.
The silence becomes a story.
The story becomes a memory.
Until I can’t tell one from the other.
Maybe there are some lessons
I’m not supposed to master.
Never knowing if it’s ego, desire,
conditioning, fate, or karma
that keeps me from the course.
So can I resist the pull,
or let it teach me?
We can’t really regret
unless we try.
And we can’t know ecstasy
until we let go.
