Over the last three months I had the pleasure of working with CU Business School and the LEEDS Consulting Group and it just so happened to be 9 years after I completed my first level of Reiki. This opportunity was brought on by a dear friend and client that adored the work here at The Mindful Bird so much, she wanted to see what the students could do to enhance it. At the same time, I was ready for the next step in my long term vision.

I’ve received 15 final deliverables for each new phase over the next five years.

My journey started when I got my first level attunement after a skiing injury which prompted interest in the Reiki being offered in hospitals. After working in a functional health clinic, I pursued nursing, my reiki business, and volunteer Reiki at the hospital, all simultaneously through the covid era.

My journey was never easy, only the passion within my heart was. I struggled a lot, I worked very hard day and night on myself and on the business. But the passion within me knew, and that knowing gave me ease which permitted me to show up and stay grounded, waiting for the right moments.

Ultimately, whatever wasn’t working or wasn’t meant to be, fell away. I’d always had an intuitive feeling that someone was going to experience The Mindful Bird and want to grow it. And when it came in through to most invested, transformative client experience to date, I knew LEEDS was the most grounded, thorough, and spirit led option. For free.

This opportunity was gifted and encouraged by Source for all of us to move this business forward for the greater purpose of an intentional, grounded, ethical, and data backed approach in client sessions. I’m in awe for the opportunity, my clients, the students, and this energy that is asking to live through me.

There’s a reason for and I’m looking forward to sharing more about that with you soon.

Inspired by the source that moves through me and my closest confidants.

While fear is common,
you can notice fear,
move it to the side,
let love move through you,
create with Source flow,
and watch yourself be moved into awe for the miracles that are truly possible for you—only if your courage is a smidge greater than your fear.

My biggest understanding—second guessing what feels powerful to you

depletes and drains any confidence, courage, or passion you just built.

Then you have to start over.

So start now—move beyond the fear, love your passions and paths, and let the miracles come in.

With love & wisdom,
Bird

Moments of awe—the spirit within our system.
In times of what seem globally dark here on Earth, the Artemis II mission brings light, hope, and joy.

Why does this mission seem so important to the missions prior—because when we need the hope the most, we are reminded to have faith.

We are reminded that in even in the darkest moments, light is still and always will be with us.

A point in time, when humanity is invited to see science and spirituality as one.

Science brings explanation to the wonder we experience in our being.

These statements bring tears of both gratitude and grief and to hold both is healing and ultimate.

Which statement has resonated the most with you?

When you’re connected, you feel it. You just know.

I hope you find some sense of spiritual connection today ✨

If you’re seeking to better understand your connection—to self, community, lineage, and purpose—please welcome yourself to the table.

Gratitude for all things leading me into alignment.

Gratitude for the part of myself that worked against and through conditioning, hardwired synapses, and old narratives in order to achieve a grounded sensation in

who I truly am and

what I truly love to do and

how I continue to choose creating.
Happy Equinox, may you find your alignments this coming year.

The narrative that you have to be active on social media to gain clients or have a thriving business is bunk.

How do I know? Because I did it.

I kept my grind on, I stayed true and authentic to traditional Reiki, energy work, and deeply understood what it means to be trauma informed and working within my scope.

And I hardly posted a single piece of content like this one here today.

I’ve seen packages have produced REAL, amazing, and life-changing results.

Because I think my work has landed organically with others, within my own inner knowing, sharing my groundedness, my work genuinely creates:

-safety in your body
-trust in your inner knowing
-permission to stop forcing
-integration of who you innately are

Evident by the fact that it was all word of mouth, SEO and a beautiful website by that easily captures who I am and what I do.

For you, practitioner: I’ve been offering 1:1 practitioner coaching to support others in understanding where their energy is best utilized, what makes their work good, and how to structure or frame their work to get consistent results with their clients and their books.

I use a blend of my intuitive skills and my 7 years in business to support a flow that works for you.

Reach out if you have any questions, I’m happy to work on a sliding scale.

And remember—keep showing up and it will show for you ❤️

Readiness rooted in the body is different than movement rooted in pressure.

Feeling ready doesn’t mean it will be perfect or the final version. Feeling ready is about having the ability to move through the fear after you’ve acknowledged it.

While starting matters, starting because your body is ready to engage is different than starting because it seems like the right thing to do, or because you don’t want to feel behind.

Create, create as a muse, share when you feel called.

Do you know the voice in your head that sounds a bit different than you own? Higher, wiser? That’s where these come from. Let me know which one hits for you.

Enjoy this Imbolc glimmer—a vacant hummingbird’s nest, the orange hues of the sun resting for a full moons night, plus me and my little who incubated while I wrote my first Substack post on Imbolc two years ago.

While I’ve stopped writing wheel of the year posts because I wasn’t a fan of the timing pressure, learning to pivot and accept the pivot, has been a process I’m learning to enjoy.

Water finds flow and you can too.

Seasons change and so do we.

Spring and bounty awaits!

Follow me on Substack for the story lines I’ve pivoted too, I’ll be releasing them this month.

I think the internet is full of low quality content. It’s taken a long time for me to support an algorithm I enjoy that feels somewhat nourishing when I log on. Filtering through all the noise.

I’ve never felt called to create content just to create, just to flood your feed with something because it’s what I should do as an entrepreneur or business owner.

I actually had the most busy schedule with the most aligned clients when I wasn’t sharing or marketing on Instagram.
That’s what told me I was excelling in my craft—not the amount of clients attracted to my page or booking session because of my content.

My presence, over and over again, in my practice and my healing, has given me the grounded confidence to say “I actually truly feel called to share this.”

I download an idea, bank it in my notion or notes for later, and I come back to it later and it says to me “share me: you feel confident in this, share it.”

I think sharing just to share is a form of litter. I think this planet is overloaded with litter and I want to take the wisdom I’ve cultivated and drop it intentionally. Whomever it speaks to, I can’t wait for you to receive it.

—Just know one thing—you don’t have to share publicly because it seems like the thing to do. You can listen to your body and find your empowerment even if it seems against the grain—that power is unbeatable and will shine through.

I caught on to collective shame after 2021 and probably for good reason. Beliefs in politics, healthcare, and culture were polarizing fast and sharing a holistic standpoint felt edgy and too much for my system to hold.

In the last few years, I had to find my core messaging again but life was taking me for a ride.

In 2022, I traveled to the east coast on a trip that changed my life.
In 2023, that change intensified.
In 2024, I gave birth to a baby boy.

🕊️

Regressing my expression into deep reflection gave me the opportunity to learn, heal, ground in, and stabilize.

As life around me was shifting, so too was life within me.

After a seven-year spiritual awakening, it was time to integrate and that integration manifested physically in my child.

Now, I feel I’ve integrated, I’ve found my stability, and now feel my passion to share.

🦢

I’m Erin Bird Schemenski — a Reiki & Energy work practitioner, intuitive and spiritual guide, and I’m someone who creates grounded, nourishing spaces for people who want to feel both their spirituality and their humanity.

I hope that my pause in expression helps validate yours if you’ve paused, too.

I hope my re-emergence is exemplary for those of you in your spiritual development—whether you’re just beginning, in the middle, integrating, or ready to share, too.

As I step back into public expression, I am looking forward to share the teachings and resources that have helped shaped me and the people I support.

My goal is to be educating, connecting, and inspiring along the lines of:

𖦹 Reiki & Energywork: conscious and subconscious energy
𖦹 Breathwork & Somatics: aliveness and innate resiliency
𖦹 Spirituality & Mindfulness: our innate connection to life force
𖦹 Brain, Hormone & Gut Health: maintaining the connection to the physiological body

The result is to cultivate Authentic Living in a holistic perspective through natural approaches and western informed-support.

My time away simply was not:
just a social media break
or just because I didn’t care
or because I have been too busy.

To refrain from public expression has been a conscious choice.

And moving forward, sharing will be, too.
