⚡️You meditated 700+ times this week!⚡️

Last Tuesday I threw the doors wide open to The Skelementary School Lounge - the home of all of my bone and body-based energy healings and meditations.

And there have been over 700 listens in 7 days!

The knowledge that this work has touched so many moments of your day is blowing my mind.

I’d love to see that number get to 1,000 - just for fun! Want to help get it there?

Set aside a little time to listen to your body. The meditations are anywhere from 6-minutes to 20-minutes. The energy healing sessions are 25-minutes to an hour - and I recommend doing the healing sessions before bed. They usually put people into a deep trance-like state!

I’m personally going to be doing another healing to Remove the Patriarchy from my bones today (yep, available in The Lounge). I started reading Patriarchy Stress Disorder book last night and can feel where my sternum is still holding this energy.

Time to go deeper and claim more of my embodied sovereignty.

What are you going to reclaim? Go check it out at the link in my bio and let me know!

I had a teaching moment with one of the twins last night.

Not where I was teaching him (because, really...) but where he was poignantly teaching me.

He's been highly energetic, moody, and irritable over the course of this and . On top of his mood, I’ve been waking up at 3-4 every morning and getting way less sleep than I need. Tired and frustrated was an understatement.

He asked me to lay down in bed after I tucked him in, and my immediate gut response was No! I'm too frustrated and burnt out right now to lay here.

But I stopped myself. I mean, what else was I going to do? Go sit on the couch? So I said yes and laid down beside him and did some energy work to release the anxiety I could feel around his heart.

As he drifted off and I watched his sweet little face sleeping, I had a moment of realization.

This wasn't about me giving. This wasn't about having an empty cup or being depleted. It wasn't something extra I had to "do."

This was all about me receiving.

Could I receive the closeness that laying next to him provides me when I'm frustrated?

Can I receive when my first desire is to push away?

We're often taught that receiving is a big thing. Learning to receive , to receive , to receive money.

What if we understood that receiving is a micro thing, and is the equal counterpart to giving? What if we approached everything as an equal balance of and ?

When you forgive are you doing the work of forgiving AND receiving the energy it frees up in your life and body?

When you rest are you doing the action of resting AND receiving the rest?

When you cook or clean are you doing the action, AND receiving abundance, nutrition, orderliness, and clear energy?

What's one thing you can micro-receive today? My answer is in the comments!

⚡️Create something for no reason! ⚡️

A dramatic shift in my life over the past six months was letting go of a daily to-do list. Which, if you knew me five years ago, is hi-larious!

I now keep a running list in a journal of things I’d like to do or create. This gets them out of my head and gives them some breathing space. It also leaves room for magic.

As my energy shifts throughout the month and year, things will naturally come to the forefront that want to be created NOW. I learned to let go of judging myself for wasting time, or getting sidetracked from another project.

I learned that when the energy moves and things want to be created, to create them.

Even if they don’t have a purpose.
Even if they’re not “productive.”
Even if they’re not building toward something.

What I noticed is that this shifts things in my body. Just the act of creating liberates energy in my ribs and intercostal muscles. It releases tension in my belly and supercharges my solar plexus and sacral portals.

When I would judge the time spent on those creations or “wastes of time” I reinforced tightness in those areas instead of liberating it.

Last night, when the itch to create came through, I knew I needed to listen. Not work on the Oracle Insider site or writing the guidebook. Not work on the website I’m playing with.

Just create for the sake of creating.

And this is what was birthed.

The sun-shine piece counterpart to the moon fall I made months ago (swipe to see them side by side).

Now I feel words pouring forward for the Oracle Deck guidebook - words that were liberated by this energy of creation.

So today, create what you want to create. Write what you want to write. Take that dance break. Shake up some energy and liberate space in your body. Xx

‼️ Breaking out of the box ‼️

I was chatting on voxer with a long-time client this morning. They had been stuck, and frankly I had been stuck…in the box I put myself in. Bones.

I kept telling myself that it’s what people came to me for. It’s what they expected when they walked into a session with me, and it’s what I had built my business on and reputation around. Knowing the bones.

Spirit has been telling me for almost a year now that I’m finished with them. It’s been a long and sometimes dark process to grapple with that. Our identities don’t often like to let go of how we know ourselves or what we want to be known for. There’s safety in it, after all.

But I let myself play this morning and dive deep into connecting things up the way I’ve been shown lately. This is where I’m most lit up. Where I’m talking so fast and am so excited about what I’m understanding that you need to listen to what I said a couple times to get it all to sink in.

I looked at their chart, at the “Earth Design” and the line for it. I looked at the that corresponds - . I let myself go into exactly what the line means for them within that context and how their purpose lives itself out through their body.

And then we could see exactly where they’re stuck. It wasn’t the bones (1-line), and it wasn’t even in the realm of for their purpose (which is 6-line). It was the 2-line - posture. The tendons, ligaments, and muscle. The realm of embodiment where we connect to resource.

Being stuck here means they can’t move up through the realms to embody their purpose as a 6-line.

And for me, being stuck in the box of bones (a coffin? Wow there’s a metaphor for ya!) meant I couldn’t continue to take my clients where they needed to go. It was time to grab that projector invitation to do what I do best. Guide with what I see, and defy boxes!

What box are you ready to get out of? Here’s your permission to light it on fire 🔥 and have a proper Viking funeral for it. Xx

Celebrating my buns off over here because every single card for the oracle deck has been sketched!!!

Discovering the art in these has been such an amazing and intuitive process with some of them going through two and three different iterations.

What has been the most profound has been looking at the order they came through. There was no logic, rhyme, or reason. They came when they came.

So it should be no surprise that the right foot came last. The activating pathway.

And with it came through activation of the deck as a whole. The activation of this set of illustration, and the clarity of words that want to go with each of them.

The portal opens next week (unless you’re on the waitlist - you’ve already received an invitation!)

I’d love for you to come journey with me as we activate together what it is these cards are here to do: guide you to your own bone deep knowing.

P.S. I’ve never posted one of these early sketches on my feed because they seem too chaotic and messy and in progress. But you know what, I’m often chaotic and messy and in progress - that doesn’t mean we can’t activate what it is we’re here to do!

Welp, it happened. I missed day 2 of the challenge because I live in the woods with no cell or internet 🤷🏻‍♀️

So today is a look behind the scenes at my glam life - combining both texture and pattern.

There’s nothing like cuddling on my couch and sketching cards in my husbands flannel and fave throw. Mayyyybe I’m not playing by the rules, but that just makes my sun all the more gleeful!

Just in case you missed it buried in there 👆🏼I have officially moved and settled in (still painting door trim and oh my god that’s endless, but I digress).

I’m officially running a business was with no cell service or internet. It’s why you can’t get a session with me. It’s also why I’m more relaxed, sleeping better, and thoroughly enjoying my life. Unplugging is good for my soul.

The Energy Archaeology Behind-The-Scenes is the only way to work with me in the coming months:

💚 See card progress, including time-lapse videos

💚 Access hours of brand new teaching (added as I write the pages for each card)

💚 Read along as I write the book entries for each card/bone.

💚 And other bonuses like half off your deck when they launch, affiliate opportunities, and receiving your deck first!

Pop to the link in my bio to put your name on the waitlist for this offer - I’ll be sending out invites soon!

P.S. see my stories for a time-lapse of the right hand card (initial collage/sketch), done just this morning!

I decided on a whim yesterday to join the challenge, because I’ve been on a hiatus from this platform for awhile - and coming back with fun and play may be just what I needed.

I’ve spent the past year renovating a house, sanding, painting, etc. and most of my reliable staples (read: yoga pants and t-shirts) are ruined. So my already minimal wardrobe is now teeny tiny.

Today’s prompt is color, and as I surveyed what’s left of my clothes I noticed how much color I have, and how little of it I wear. It’s all color-blocked - solid orange rompers, burgundy maxi dresses, green skirts. So I grabbed my burgundy maxi that I never put on anymore (do you see how much b**b this thing shows?!) and popped another red dress under it. I’ve never put them together before but I’m kind of loving it!

However, I don’t actually want to talk about clothes, no matter how fun they may be.

In the car on the way home yesterday one of my 6-year-old twins started telling me that he didn’t eat the poached pears I packed him for lunch. He said he tried to sneak a few bites when the other kids weren’t looking, but they all said pears were gross and weird and he was weird if he liked them.

And my heart broke for how young it starts. How early in life we’re labeled weird for stupid innocuous stuff like eating pears or wearing bright colors. Or being short, tall, too skinny, or too fat. For being too pale or having darker skin than anyone else in the room. For having stick straight hair, curly hair, or kinky hair. For being too shy or too loud.

How much time do we spend reclaiming these parts of ourselves.

So yesterday I told E that I understand what it feels like to be picked on for something silly. It hurts. It feels like our belonging and sense of safety and security is being threatened. But I also told him that if he lets what someone else thinks of him change who he is, that also hurts. And that’s a deeper hurt that takes longer to heal.

In honor of all of my weird, and for E (he made me the bracelet I’m wearing in the pictures) let’s .

Thanks and for the prompt!

A lesson on listening to your energy:

Something I’ve learned about myself as a is being ok with limiting who receives the deeper teachings I hold within.

Not only ok with, but excited!

Here’s something it took me ages to figure out :

❌ putting the full depth of my work out for everyone on social media doesn’t feel good. It’s draining because of who sees it and how it’s received.

I’ve tried to logic and talk myself around on this many, many times. Trying strategies that work for other people and other energy types - and it never works. It exhausts me.

💞 When I put the same type of work forward to a group who fully recognizes what it is I’m bringing, the exchange is completely different. I’m energized, lit up, and can’t wait to show up and teach. I get so excited to be there that I overdeliver!

This is why I’ve created the Oracle VIP

It’s not only for you, it’s for me, too. To show up within that group and share videos, teach deeply on each card, write and receive feedback on what’s landing and what needs more clarity. The energy of creating in this way will infuse the energy of the deck, and it will be palpable!

Ultimately, it’ll make the deck better for every single person who receives it.

This behind-the-scenes interactive space is where the deck will make its debut (in digital form) and will finish growing into what it’s meant to be.

You can sign up for the VIP waitlist at the link in my bio. I’m bursting at the seams to bring this into being with you 💗💗💗

I go back and forth between naming these cards for their bone - left scapula, in this case - or the series of words that want to come through each time I tune into them.

This card always says “the blessing in the burden” when I listen, and there’s something I love about that. Specifically because our shoulder blades are inner child things we have held on to at some level. Things that have such a density and depth that they take on a life of their own. Things we can imbue with meaning and carry as distinctly our own.

I’ve been working with quite a few of these myself over the past few weeks as I’ve stepped away in order to focus on moving. It’s been a long and unsettling two-year-journey to get into this house, but here we are.

The energy is divine, it’s exactly what I envisioned years ago when I first received the message that we needed to move. And as we settle in, the unique depth of the burden I’ve been carrying about houses, homes, building, and moving, has come back thousands of time over in blessings. I watch with gratitude every day as the fog lifts over the mountains and the landscape we call home is revealed.

As I come back from moving, the Energy Archaeology is kicking into high gear and I'm inviting you along on the journey!
