My lil journal ideas and practices to begin awakening and strengthening the Root between our body and mind. The root all other roots stem and grow from.
Ill share a song for the mantra in stories 🎶
Play around with these and let me know what you’re feeling. Enjoy this winter full moon week ❄️💕

Just as the winter earth holds its power at its core, we hold our power at the core of who we are when everything else falls away - the human we know we are meant to be.
The seed of universal virtue that was planted when our life began.

We know we are practicing in our power when our actions feel really really good. We don’t question them. We know those actions are in line with who we are & the power of our heart shines through them.
These are the actions, huge or tiny, that feel affirming, confident, magnetic.
🍃
When I practice in Bodhicitta ~ the desire to act through universal loving kindness ~ I feel my power.
When my actions are rooted in love, the big cosmic kind, I know that’s who I really am. I feel gnosis ~ the ancient wisdom at the core of my body ~ come alive. I know I am not angry, or jealous, or lonely.
I know I am love, and that I get to practice every day I am given.
♥️
This wisdom that lives in all of us, at the universal heart, at our wintery core of power, is activated and released by living authentically, however that looks.
Celebrate the human you are in your heart, let it speak to you, guide you, show you the power that lives in you. With you always.
You are the Alchemist of your life, your spirit. Trust Yourself.

This week we look inward, to our internal home. And the moon has aligned so wonderfully for this internal celebration.
Our internal home is effected by our senses, it’s how we absorb the outside world
To start bringing peace and balance to our internal home, we can cleanse our external home for our senses
To begin this weeks work and create a nourishing space for our upcoming practices to look within, try these home cleansing practices
🌬 Air : the winter air in our homes can become stale and dead. Welcome life in by opening a window, just for a few minutes, each morning. Diffuse sweet orange or lemon & mint oil. Take a few deep inhales of the new, exhales of the old
🍃 Earth : with a broom, sweep your floors to your front door, think about the things you’ve outgrown from the past year that walk across your floors, sweep them out. Make ready your space, so new things can come in
🔥 Fire : when the sun sets early on winter evenings it’s tempting to turn on the lights. Try lighting some candles on a night or two a week instead. Perhaps your nightly activities are quieter, more meditative in quality and you find a new kind of mystery in the shadows
💧 Water : on nights when it’s just around freezing, put a pitcher or jar of water outside over night. The next day drink the cold water, feel it flow down into your body and nourish you. Take a few moments with this simple every day act of drinking, remember the power in it
🌀 Space : the element we don’t see, but feel. Continue to bring in elements of your ideal home vision into your reality. Resist temptation to confine your vision by what you’ve been told or shown, focus on how it feels

If you know me personally, you know I am prone to comical mistakes. This time I didn’t schedule these properly. Perhaps ill learn this magic soon ... for now here’s a little Home Practice

Create your own Sacred Space
This is something different for everyone
Large or Small
Simple or Complex
Maybe everyone who sees it knows what it is and Maybe it’s a place only you know the true meaning of.
Fill it with Little Things You Love
Photos, dried flowers, crystals
Statues, singing bowls, beautiful words
Art You Find Beautiful
Visions of the Future
Every day, whenever you decide is best for you, take a moment with your Sacred Space. Make an offering by remembering the good in your life. The places where there’s room to grow. Just a few moments with yourself and this space of devotion, every day.

Eat what you like. I’ve been keeping things pretty simple these days ... smoothies, banana nut butter toast, salads and quinoa with apple cider dressing. I have 20 cookbooks I look at standing at this counter while I eat toast slathered with the most amazing butter from , I never feel bad about it. I’ll make something fancy someday or maybe I won’t, this suits me just fine for now.

Hope and Fear are the same shadow
Clouding our present with visions of the past
Creating our future
We wish
We want
We crave
We make believe that Hope is Brave
She tricked me with her sweetly scented words
Optimistic
Dreamer
Believer
And I believed this ability to see possibility wasn’t
Killing me
I collected those words like wildflowers
Littering the front of my mind
Hope was always dancing and twirling new flowers in my hair
Turning me away from decades old dust
The cobwebs that grew here and there
And then
all at once
she’d spin into Fear
the flowers grew legs and scattered away
I’m flooded with images of petals I’d forgotten to save
It took me decades to see that they were the same
Hope and Fear with their silky shadow games
It took me decades to find Joy just waiting
Right here
In this moment.
She is so beautifully unattached to what comes next
Allowing the shadows of my Life to look
However they happen to look
Joy has made friends with them. Hope and Fear.
Laughing with their shadow show
Never running away with their promises or following them into other worlds
Just seeing all these pieces makes a life worth living
Joy is now
Right here
In this moment.
Unattached.
Open.
Free.

When I forgot I had ever lived among the Stars
Gaia reminded me with the promise of a horizon
untouchable
I was left once more with a yearning I couldn’t feed
I spent the nights
Waiting. Sitting in the silent stillness.
In the dark before dawn
I can feel it now
Now that I’m alone, raw and remembering.
You already live in all the lodges of the universe

We all pray
To god or spirit or things we won’t say
We ask for requited love, wealth, adventure, success
To be understood and heard, to never make due to do with less
We ask for trinkets, beauty and games to be won
For pleasure, desire and the loneliness to be done
What if we asked ourselves
Prayed to ourselves
For an open heart, abundance of joy, to see the magic in every morning
What if we prayed for strength when the storms come, for forgiveness, and forgiving
What if we asked ourselves to listen, to know what we need, to let go
To only reap the flowers we sow
Today I pray the home in my heart is the only one I’ll ever crave
And through this next part, when I’d like to run, let me be brave

“Very Little is needed to make a happy life. It is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.” Seneca
🔥
Some may tell you ~ to wear pants when hiking, but I like the way the different plants and parts of the forest feel on my skin.
Some may tell you ~ to wear boots to protect your ankles, but I believe strong muscles support them better and I’ve learned to listen to them and the earth when I walk.
Some may tell you ~ a few different things about drinking beers while on a 9 mile hike, but really good beer makes me feel really good and fills my belly so I don’t chug all my water before the midpoint, I just love it.
Some may not tell you ~ to carry a little stick to swirl in the air in front of your face for spider webs, but webs in my face really grinds my gears so I always have one.

People have told me a lot of things in my life, and over this past year it seems the voices have all gone quiet.
And mine is the only one left.
So I do as I please. And my thoughts changed, or maybe they were just scrubbed clean.
I found joy. The real kind that never leaves. Beyond cheer or happiness, the joy that lives in who you were meant to be, before everyone started saying all the things they say.
A happy life, a joyful life, lives only in you, forever in you. Listen to your joy, let it guide you onward.

It’s easy to constantly be doing, especially now when there is so much to be done. But sometimes, we need to do less. And be more. Be cuddly, be loving, be still, be quiet, be cozy, be loved, be held, be in peace. Just sometimes, stop for a moment, and be where you are.
