The Everyday Healer - Christina O'Brien

We have another portal to go through. This time focus on the twelve ways you can feel supported by the universe and don’t be afraid to ask for more of what they offer.

I can’t even express how hard the holiday seasons have been for me. But I can tell you that this healing journey and the energy work and practices that come with it….are shifting things in so many good ways. If you haven’t already begun to focus on your own healing, please consider it for the new year. I’m here as a testament that it is so worth it.

The simmer pot doesn’t always have to be perfect. It can be the broken star anise or the older, blemished fruit. It’s about using what we have and alchemizing magic. It CAN be perfect, sure. It can be imperfectly perfect as well. A simmer pot is about the energy and the scent so this will be just fine!

So I took two pictures of the moon water in my windowsill because the first one “didn’t come out right”. But it is actually sooooo beautiful and I wouldn’t even know how to get those special effects on my own. I think this is the exact thing this full moon in Gemini is trying to teach us. Perspectives and lenses are here to make us see something else. As we are being shown, don’t dismiss it! Pay attention. Sink into it. We are being shown the many times two things can be happening at once. Duality is a major theme right now so don’t ignore it.

I’ve always wanted one of these fun little advent calendars for the month. We grabbed a couple of others ones for the family but this one is for me! I have a new daily ritual of sipping some lovely tea.

Can you feel it in the air? It comes in on one of those chilly gusts like a swirl of glitter. A sparkle in the darkness. A flame in the night. A light in the window of our soul. Let it in.

Here it comes…that time of year when we look back. That crunch time feeling we have with the boxes remaining on the calendar. The nostalgia of the season creeps in as well. The grief, the loss waves hello. The anger, regret, frustration simmers underneath. Oh it’s a tricky time isn’t it?!? But what if we reframe it all. What if we see the bright sunset amidst the darkening sky and realize where we took the opportunity to glow, to rise, to shine, to change? What if we shift the conditioned focus we have been oh so trained to slip into? What if we beam about the good? Accept the failures as exercises. Maybe then it will all be valuable. Because we are here aren’t we? And the sun sets and comes up every morning. And so did we.

“It can be two things at once”, is a loud theme lately. I can be grateful for so much this year while still being so disappointed in the state of things. I can heal so many old issues while still feeling the grief of loss. I can learn how to rest on a busy cooking day while feeling some guilt of not being an over productive perfectionist. I can be angry at this holiday while trying to make it something new. Two things. It’s all a lot but I know one thing…. I’m so grateful for plenty…and you are a part of that.

This morning, right before the sun came up, Mercury and Venus had a special moment. So did I…with a ritual and some candle magic. I snapped a pic and it was like my phone couldn’t handle the energy. I’ll take that as a sign it was truly magic. 😉

This felt like a life changing moment for me. I wore pink and green, put the watermelon tourmaline earrings on, and went in with an open heart. I came out different. And the timing couldn’t be more perfect. Go see this movie as a homework assignment from your heart chakra.

The healing journey can include wicked people, traumatic events, and grueling experiences…but you can get to a place where it all transforms YOU into magic. Eventually, you let each moment be a choice to grow, even if things are not optimum. They don’t always help you change for the better, but they can help you change for good. Keep healing.
