Today's Mindful Monday is a little different 🌿

I was out in the yard yesterday, barefoot, and noticed a dandelion puff- the soft white kind we used to blow as kids.

I couldn't get it out of my mind so I went back for a picture to share it's beauty. I wondered if it had a message.

All those tiny seeds... waiting for the wind, ready to land somewhere new.

It made me think about this time of year and
how things start to stir again.

Maybe there are seeds in us too...
small ideas, quiet shifts...not quite ready, but on their way.

Later, I decided to make a cup of dandelion tea and I couldn't help but smile as I read the message on the tag of the teabag:

"Talking to plants is one way of talking directly to Spirit."
- Rosemary Gladstar

There’s something about being outside, feet on the ground...not rushing that makes it a little easier to feel what’s beginning.

Moments like these always bring me a little closer...how do you connect with Spirit?

It’s Mindful Monday 🌿

Today’s card:
“You are the sky. Everything else is just the weather.”

There’s a lot moving in the world right now.
Uncertainty… tension… the feeling of not knowing what comes next.

It’s easy to get pulled into the storm of it all.

But this card feels like a quiet reminder—
that what moves around us is not who we are.

Thoughts, emotions, world events…
they come and go, like weather.

It’s Mindful Monday 🌿

Today’s card: " Wherever you are, be there totally."

I am reminded of something a friend once said to me while I was taking pictures out on nature.
She gently pointed out that trying to capture the moment was actually pulling me out of it.
“You’ll have the memory,” she said. “You just need to experience it.”

That stayed with me.

When I went to my son’s wedding, I left my phone in the car.
No photos. No videos. Just being there.

It felt a little strange at first... not having anything to show afterward.
But something else happened instead.
I was fully present.
And so were many of my family members.

We weren’t documenting the moment.
We were in it—together.

There’s a different kind of memory that lives in the body when we allow ourselves to be fully present.

It’s quieter… but deeper.

Wherever you find yourself today,
see if you can soften into it just a little more.

No need to capture it.
Just be there.

Today in my 21-day meditation challenge, I focused on connecting with Cat through the Reiki precept:
Be humble. Be grateful.

I closed my eyes, took a few breaths… and almost immediately felt a clear nudge:
Book a healing session for yourself.

So I did.

When I opened my eyes again, my cat was sitting right on my book.
Of course… I had asked to connect with Cat. 😂

I turned the page to today’s affirmation:

“I take responsibility for my own healing path, but I know to ask for help when I need it.”

Message received.

Thank you, Cat. 😺

Sometimes the mind becomes crowded with to-do lists and what-ifs.

Tonight’s card reminds us to be like hollow bamboo - open, spacious, and clear so energy can move freely.

If your thoughts are racing, try a gentle brain dump. Write down three things you’re handing over to tomorrow.

Once they’re on paper, your mind is free to rest. 🌙

I'll be honest, I've always been a little triggered when people tell me to "smile."

This week's mindful Monday invited me to look at it differently. This is not about performing for others. It's about a private ritual for ourselves.

The Dalai Lama suggested that we should wake up every morning with a smile on our face—not because everything is perfect, but as an act of compassion toward ourselves. ☀️

When we smile at our reflection, we aren't "faking it." We are actually shifting our biology. That tiny movement releases dopamine and serotonin, signaling to our nervous system that we are safe. We aren't smiling because we have to; we are smiling to give our own hearts a biological hug.

Next time you pass a mirror, try a "private smile." No one else is watching. Just you, your reflection, and a moment of genuine self-kindness.

This eclipse feels like a quiet reset.

Almost like pressing control + alt + delete on the parts of us that have been running too long — the overthinking, the perfectionism, the worries about what hasn’t even happened yet.

Virgo’s energy gently reveals what’s been draining us in the background. Not to judge it. Just to clear it.

We don’t need to force anything. We simply close the tabs that aren’t ours to carry. We soften the grip of control. We let the static dissolve.

And when the noise quiets, the inner sun returns.

There is nothing new to become. Only space to remember who you already are.

Move your body, shift your energy!

For today’s Mindful Monday, try this simple 30-second ritual to release stagnant energy in the shoulders and the chest. As you reach for the sky, you aren't just stretching muscles - you are opening your heart center and inviting new light in.

​Think of the exhale as a release of last week’s "heavy," and the inhale as a fresh start for the week ahead.
​
Stand up. Reach. Breathe. Feel your feet connected to the earth and your hands touching the sky. Release. Let me know if you try it! 🙌✨

For today's Mindful Monday, our card invites us to find magic in the mundane.
​
In Reiki, we talk a lot about intention. When you rush through your morning, your energy starts the day scattered. But when you slow down—even for three minutes—to feel the warmth of the mug and smell the steam, you are centering your light. ☀️

​You’re not just drinking coffee; you’re practicing presence. That is where healing begins.

​This week's intention: Turn your first drink of the day into a ceremony. No phone, no "to-do" list. Just you and the ritual. ☕💗
