Chakra 7 – Connection

Whatever myth has been revealed, now is the time to turn the page to a new chapter in the unfolding story of your life… I’ve been trying to not feel rushed, to simply sit and observe the flow from a place of connection. Alas, this has not been easy, but here is what came up… Continue reading

Chakra 5 – Who Am I?

In the moments before release, she bade farewell to the fellow plants in her fertile corner of the earth, blessed them, and thanked them for their company and care. She let go of the fear of… Continue reading
