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.

Hi, I’m back.

Do you feel the shedding? What are you sensing for yourself or the collective?

I once stopped getting into costume but with the pagan tradition insight, I’ll be lighting some candles and doing a little mask for protection and in honor of those that came before me.

Full post is on Substack.com in my stories today or through the link in my bio.

The way we are taught and the way we teach others is vital to the cycles that continue to live and die. It is our nature to learn, process, and share be it from the earth, our ancestors, our community, painful experiences, beautiful experiences, or the human constructed systems. What we learn and how we pass it along impacts the generations to come and the evolution of our world with our conceptualizations of it.

I just wrapped up a vital and profound 6 month container with a wonderful human where our experiences taught each other more about ourselves and believing in ourselves than we could have ever imagined. We went into it with ideas or expectations and as it opened up into flow, letting the gift move back and forth between us, it evolved into greater love, greater belief, and the abundance of possibility in love, prosperity, and spirituality.

Spiritual Guidance Sessions are now open

Topics covered but not limited to:
•spiritual development
•somatic awareness
•finding and attracting a mate
•human design
•finding your purpose
•ancestral healing
•psychic and energy development

Send me an email or DM with any questions.

If you’re looking for a space to talk through and practice the mystical things you’re experiencing, this is a safe space to do it.

Hi, from the Sequoia National Forest. I’ve been laying low on instagram but you can find me in the reiki studio, on Substack, or my email list.

We’ve been battling a facial skin infection. We’ve also battled gut intolerances. One right after the other. But we’re strong and we roar 🦁 🐯

The first twelve weeks of motherhood have been nothing short of easy. They’ve been incredibly beautiful but the most challenging and undesirable I could have imagined. And yet, it could absolutely be much worse.

This process has taught me to take the good with the bad.

Yes, we’ve been down and close to crumbling, but there’s still an insane amount of beauty in the process, in the knowing that we are and will continue to be okay.

Additionally, I know within my heart and my being that this is part of our ancestral healing. That this is teaching me, forming me, and calling out the strength of our spirits into human form.

Inflammation of the gut and the skin is in my genetics.
Alcoholism is also in my genetics.

This child’s incredible sensitivity to human life, with the vibrancy of Gods goodness, is teaching me how to increase my own vibrancy.

He’s teaching me to show up to continue to do the ancestral work that began when I got sober, entered my relationship, and dedicated my work to alternative and complimentary healing.

I’m still breast feeding, I’m 30 days paleo, and I’m balancing clients with motherhood.

I’ll be writing and publishing the entire sequence of this on going story on Substack once we come out of this health storm.

For now, we’re using functional, eastern, and western medicine, and baby is still laughing and smiling as hard as ever. Nature and this spring is absolutely healing and we’re grateful for daddy’s attentiveness to our sanctuary.

Vulnerability as promised—alchemy as devoted.

Rest is like floating down stream after a long paddle. It’s imperative to a rebuild of mental, emotional, and psychological function and conducive to positive energetic exertion.

When things feel clouded, chaotic, or uncertain, the opportunity to rest is your best choice to re-approach your experience to build upon it with improvement.

It’s okay to come back to your task with full clarity—allowing the body, the mind, and your emotional state to clear and refocus.

Discipline or responding to your inner drive to re-approach your task or experience is the true challenge. This re-approach is fueled by inspiration and it’s okay if you’re not inspired for some time. Take the rest you need.
Maternity leave felt like a form of rest from the everyday effort in the Reiki studio. At times it felt like I was getting in over my head trying to fix or support people. The break allows me to see more clearly, hold my boundaries, and understand the task at hand with a clear goal.

In taking my first in-person client post partum, I experienced a beautiful chance to see my work in a different way that allows me to build on the foundation already created. I can see my goals for development so much more clearly because I was able to rest.

I can now adapt to the needs of my work and my clients that I could previously see, but was stuck in the loop or cycle of trying to fix without change.
and energyhealing are incredible forms of which my clients report having deeper , , and cultivation of energy that supports their desired approach to their experiences.

When you’re worried about what action step to take next, tune into the soul.

The feminine fluidity of the souls essence is meant to be
f e l t

and when we feel connected, embodied, the masculine structure of the body and the planet, and time will take
a c t i o n.

So feel your c o u r a g e

To dream your wildest dream

Let the soul speak

Let the soul carry you

The body will follow.

——
Heavy on this topic with many. It can feel stressful to make decisions, to meet deadlines, to demand of yourself so much. But if you tune into what the soul knows it desires, what it craves, and you let that part of you carry you forward, the opportunities of action will continually present themselves in ways that feel good no not stressed. Ways that feel in line with the story you know is possible. Without the blocks and limitations of the societal, generational, conditioning we all tend to adopt.

It’s time to be more of who you are. Have no fear, the soul is here.
