SLOWING DOWN TO RECEIVE
This past week, I was guided to share a meditation on the topic of Releasing Blocks to Receiving and post it to my YouTube channel (🔗 in bio). The energy work that I share in this meditation is something I have been leaning on in my practice as of late, and I truly hope that it brings healing, clarity and powerful energetic shifts to all who are in need of them.
This is, for so many of us, a season where our focus can lean towards giving and doing. Certainly, there is joy to be found in giving to others, in sharing the warmth of our home, our resources, and our creations with those we love.
But often during this time it is all too easy for us to fall out of balance, and get stuck on a hamster wheel of giving and doing for others, or for the sake of tradition. We let ourselves become out of sync with the earth’s call to slow down, be still, and allow ourselves to receive rest and replenishment.
This month, I have been taking time to reflect on everything that I have accomplished in 2025 - selling my home and moving to a new home in a new country, creating and holding space for my first 6-month course, a handful of musical projects and going on a few short tours to support them. No wonder I’ve been craving more time to rest and recharge!
Admittedly, at first I felt some resistance to slowing down, but I’m now allowing myself to do so, to be supported, to produce less, to do less in a day, and to focus more on allowing myself to receive the nourishment that I need.
As I’ve done this, I’ve been noticing some beautiful shifts - people in my local community reaching out and offering help when I least expected it, a deeper awareness in my own self healing space and powerful clearing of energetic blocks.
As a recovering workaholic, this has honestly felt radical and liberating!
I invite you all, no matter what you have accomplished this year or feel you have left to accomplish, no matter how big your current “to do” list is, to take some time to be still this week. To go inward and ask Spirit to show you -
What stands in the way of me receiving just as much (if not more!) as I give to the world and to others?
