“Mom at school they say you are a witch.”
Mom - ok...
And that you do spells.
Ok...
And that I’m a witch.
Ok...
And that you are evil...

“Darling, my love, do you know what a witch is made of?”

“No mom...”

“Well then, Let me explain...

A witch is made out of love.

Love for nature and studying energy.
Love for both strangers and friends.
Love for her family.
Love for life.
Love for Mother Nature.

Let me tell you how she is made...

Gather the following energy,

🔮 A lifetime of studying
🔮 Two Healing hands
🔮 Warmth
🔮 A set of eyes that allows her to see more than what appears...
🔮 An extremely developed intuition to guide her in finding the right herbs and vibes.
🔮 A self esteem made of iron, so she can be strong when others judge or hurt her with their ignorance.
🔮 A pure soul
🔮 A pair of legs so she can walk and run through nature
🔮 Wise and powerful ancestors
🔮 And a heart made of gold or amethyst so she can love... without fear...

All of this mixed together in the jar of sacred femininity
And they placed the jar in the world, to heal hearts and help souls find their inner light. To be strong and show the way to those who were lost but remembered who they were...

They mixed in life, suffering and pain so she would be humble enough yet courageous enough to be there for those who suffer...

They made us wise.
They made us strong.
They made us intelligent.
And givers
of life.

Now my darling, my sweet girl... do you think witches are evil?”

“No mommy, the next time they call me Witch I will welcome it with a smile on my face”

🌍✨ Have you heard of the Schumann resonances? You’re not alone if you haven’t! These fascinating electromagnetic waves play a crucial role in our experience of the world, yet they often fly under the radar.
Just like our brains produce electrical activity, the Earth has its own unique electromagnetic field. The Schumann resonances are a collection of low-frequency waves that wrap around our planet, creating a ‘heartbeat’ of their own. The most recognized frequency is 7.83 Hertz, but there are also weaker harmonics at 14.3, 20.8, 27.3, and 33.8 Hz.
These resonances are generated by the thousands of lightning strikes that occur daily, producing a rhythmic flow that we can all tune into.
🔗 Connecting on the Same Frequency There’s a compelling connection between the Schumann resonances and our brain activity. A study from 2006 found coherence between these resonances and brainwaves in the 6-16 Hz range, suggesting that our emotions and energies are intertwined with the Earth.
During times of global stress, our brainwave frequencies may even influence the Earth’s resonances. This connection could explain the profound feeling of belonging many of us experience when we meditate or slow down. 🌌
To tap into our most primal energies, we might just need to align with the Earth’s own frequency: 7.83 Hz.

🌌✨ Exploring the Spiritual Connection to the Pineal Gland ✨🌌
The pineal gland, often referred to as the “third eye,” or “the seat of the soul” is a small but powerful part of our brain that holds a deep spiritual significance. It’s believed to be the gateway to higher consciousness and intuition, connecting us to our inner selves and the universe around us.
During a Craniosacral session, you may experience profound sensations as this area is gently engaged. Many report feelings of deep relaxation, clarity, and heightened awareness. You might sense a release of tension, allowing for a flow of energy that can lead to insights and a sense of peace.
As you tune into this sacred space, embrace the journey inward and explore the wisdom that lies within. 🌠💫

Artist Alex Grey The Benefits of Infant Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on treatment that can provide numerous benefits for infants. Here are some key advantages of this therapeutic approach:
1. Relief from Tension and Stress: Infants can experience physical tension from the birthing process or other stressors. Craniosacral therapy helps release this tension, promoting relaxation and comfort.
2. Improved Sleep Patterns: Many parents find that their infants sleep more soundly after receiving craniosacral therapy. The calming effects can help soothe an infant’s nervous system, leading to better sleep quality.
3. Support for Digestive Issues: Infants often face digestive discomfort, such as colic or gas. Craniosacral therapy can aid in alleviating these issues by promoting better digestive function and overall comfort.
4. Enhanced Developmental Progress: By supporting the body’s natural rhythms, craniosacral therapy can contribute to healthier developmental milestones, helping infants thrive as they grow.
5. Emotional Well-being: This gentle therapy can also support emotional regulation, helping infants feel more secure and less fussy, which can be beneficial for both the child and the parents.
6. Aid in Recovery from Birth Trauma: If an infant has experienced any trauma during birth, craniosacral therapy can assist in the healing process, facilitating a smoother transition into the world.
7. Support for Conditions like Torticollis:Craniosacral therapy can help address physical conditions such as torticollis, where the infant’s neck muscles are tight, promoting better alignment and movement.

Losing Nacho was a heart-wrenching experience and also truly beautiful to be witness of his journey.
I am forever changed by that experience and by his love and companionship. I’d like to share about the day he left us earth side and what I experienced while working on him with Craniosacral.

For weeks, I witnessed his struggle; even the simplest tasks, like getting up to go outside became increasingly difficult for him. The day he passed there was a weight in the air. My husband gently carried Nacho into the yard for one last time. I watched him as he just plopped down on the grass in the middle of the front yard, he was becoming more fragile as the day went on. I sat beside him, placing my hands softly on his body, a silent communication of love and comfort. Just being with him. As I tapped into our connection, I could feel the heat radiating from him, the rhythm of his heartbeat, the fluids move and the weight of his pain.

My eyes shut and a vision unfolded—a large white stag appeared, standing gracefully among the Azalea bushes at the corner of our yard. It was a powerful presence, and I understood instinctively that it was there to guide Nacho home. Emotions washed over me; I knew this was the pivotal moment, the last day we would share together.
After a while, I stepped inside to check on the girls. When I returned to Nacho, he had moved to the very spot where I had envisioned the white stag. I knew his time on earth was near—like he was already reaching for the other side, seeking solace in that ethereal embrace.

Soon, the vet had arrived at our home. As I comforted Nacho in those final moments, my hands resting on him, the vet delivered the medication. With my eyes closed, I was deeply connected with him once more. I felt his fluids shifting and moving within, the essence of life still very vibrant, even as the vet softly confirmed that his heart had stopped. Despite his physical departure, I lingered, still sensing the warmth of his spirit and movement still happening in his body for a long while.

For the following days until he was cremated, unusual things happened —our dog door would open on its own, I felt Nacho's spirit close by, reminding me that he was not entirely gone. Once he was cremated those signs stop. But all those signs affirmed a belief I held dear: he had returned to the stars.

Understanding Cerebrospinal Fluid and Cranial Movement 🌊💆‍♀️

Did you know that our brain contains four interconnected ventricles that play a crucial role in our cranial health? These spaces are connected to the subarachnoid space through a network of canals. At the top of each ventricle, we find the choroid plexuses, which filter blood to produce cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This vital fluid circulates around our brain and spinal cord before being reabsorbed by the arachnoid villi.

Dr. John Upledger, an influential osteopath, introduced the “pressure stat model,” suggesting that the movement of cranial bones is influenced by the production and reabsorption of CSF. When pressure builds in the cranium, the choroid plexus reduces CSF production. When pressure decreases, production resumes, driving the movement of cranial bones and affecting the entire body.

These cranial movements are described as flexion and extension. During flexion, the sphenoid bone moves anteriorly and superiorly, causing widening of the cranium. This pattern can lead to physical postures, like a duck walk. In extension, the cranium narrows, resulting in internal rotation—a characteristic seen in pigeon-toed walking.

The entire flexion-extension cycle occurs every six seconds and represents the “breathing” of the cranium. Any disruption in this rhythmic pattern can impact our breath, blood flow, and endocrine system—much like ripples in water.

Embrace the wisdom of craniosacral therapy and discover how these subtle movements can enhance your well-being.

The Versatile Use of Oregano: My Experiences Over the Past Week

Oregano is more than just a splendid addition to culinary dishes; it has earned its place in our home as a natural remedy for various ailments. Over the past week, I utilized fresh oregano from my garden in a particularly poignant way when my daughter faced an unexpected challenge.

Earlier this week, she began to complain about itching in her eyes on Monday night, and I noticed some pus accumulating. I tried to soothe her discomfort with saline, but when she woke up the next morning, both eyes were crusted shut. At that moment, I recalled a recommendation from a friend about using oregano tea for conjunctivitis. Eager to help, I brewed some weak tea with fresh oregano, letting it cool completely before using it.

Throughout that day, I gently washed her eyes with the oregano infusion, repeating the process three times. To my relief, her condition improved remarkably by Wednesday. The tea not only eased her discomfort, but it also seemed to contribute to her quick recovery. Just to be safe, I prepared one more batch of the tea to ensure her eyes were completely healed.

Oregano has always been my go-to herb for many ailments. Whenever my family starts to feel under the weather, whether it’s respiratory issues or digestive discomfort, oregano is my first choice. Its antibacterial and antiviral properties make it a natural ally against infections, and I’ve also found it effective for treating minor wounds and skin irritations.

From enhancing the flavor of my cooking to acting as a natural remedy, oregano is a multifaceted herb that continues to play a valuable role in our health routines. This week reaffirmed its significance, making me grateful for its presence in my garden and in our lives.
