A beautiful affirmation of love and protection! 💖👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

This is why letting go is hard. Because stuff isn’t just stuff in our hearts. Stuff is the moment someone said hello or goodbye. It’s a pair of shoes we never thought we could afford or decades of photos that remind us that we had a life. Stuff is dozens of report cards and yearbooks and it’s also 49 coffee cups (even though we always use our favorite one).

All of that is true about stuff in our hearts AND there is a possibility for fuller lives, less stress, moving with more ease, more clarity about what matters, more time to engage in what you discover matters to you, more presence and connection with the people you love, better sleep, space for creativity and room to take care of yourself.

And even better news ... there is a place in between ALL stuff and NO stuff that will allow you to not only shift your focus from defining who you are by what you own but also, to enjoy your favorite things. It’s your simplicity, your home, your life. You make the rules.

Knowing that your heart may be holding on a little too tightly, be gentle with yourself. Go easy, take tiny steps, and lots of breaks as you work towards a more spacious, relaxed life.

What makes life interesting is the possibility of a "Yes" after countless rejections 🗝️🚪

(and maybe it's out of my league but I wouldn't really know unless I try and ask 😌)

Is It just me or has today, energetically, been one hell of a day? Staying offline has not made a difference.

🫀✨ The Lymphatic System of a Griever — 10/30

“When Missing Someone Becomes a Physical Ache”

There is a kind of longing that doesn’t just sit in the heart —
it lodges itself in the body.

When someone you love passes away, the missing doesn’t disappear into the air.
It roots itself in your chest, curls into your breath, and settles inside your tissues like unsaid words and unfinished stories.

Longing is not soft.
Longing is pressure.
It tightens your throat, lives behind your sternum, and wraps around your ribcage like a memory you can’t un-remember.

Your body remembers what your mind tries to forget.

And the lymphatic system — silent, sensitive, honest — feels it first.

🧠 Trauma Replay & the Body’s Memory

When grief resurfaces — a song, a date, a smell, a quiet moment —
your nervous system replays the old scene like a film stuck on repeat.

Your breath shortens.
Your shoulders rise.
Your chest tightens.

And inside, your lymph vessels react.
They constrict.
They slow.
They hold.

Not because they’re weak —
but because your body is trying to protect you from drowning in the emotion.

Trauma replay is not imagination.
It’s your physiology reliving the moment your world cracked open.

💧 What Longing Does Inside Your Body

Missing someone isn’t just emotional.
Longing activates the same pathways as physical pain.

It releases stress hormones that make the lymphatics sluggish.
It makes your chest feel heavy because stagnation builds behind the heart.
It disrupts digestion because the vagus nerve collapses under emotional weight.
It makes your muscles feel tender because fascia tightens when you cry.

Longing is a biochemical event.

Your lymph nodes swell with unprocessed sorrow.
Your breathing becomes shallow, lowering lymph flow by up to half.
Your tissues hold fluid because your body thinks you’re in danger again.

This is why grief feels like bloating, tightness, heaviness, exhaustion.
This is why the body aches when the heart breaks.

🫂 The Body’s Silent Way of Saying, “I Miss Them Too.”

Every time you long for the one who is gone, your body responds as if reaching for them.
As if trying to pull back a moment in time.
As if trying to bring them close again.

Your body is not malfunctioning —
it is remembering.

Because grief is love that has nowhere to go.
And longing is the echo of love searching for the one it can no longer touch.

So when your lymph feels heavy…
when your chest feels full…
when your body aches in waves…

It isn’t weakness.
It is proof that you loved deeply —
and that your body is still carrying the shape of that love.

Funny how you don’t notice the spark returning until one day you just feel… lighter.

“Kundalini energy is erotic energy – also known as lifeforce, serpent, or libido – which runs through the body. It is the double helix flow in our DNA and the spiralling energy of the nervous system from the base of the spine to the top at the nape of the neck. Eros flows from the womb of Gaia, through our earth star chakra (our brown super root located approximately 12 inches below the soles of our feet in the earth), through the soles of our feet into the perineum and up the spine and through the crown of the head, the soul star chakra (our ha-lo, located a few inches above our head and up into the cosmos). Inspiration and the electric penetrating flash and sword of wisdom energy which moves from the cosmos, the womb of Sophia down through the soul star chakra, through the crown and down the spine, through the perineum, down and out through the souls of the feet, through the earth star chakra into the womb of Gaia. These are extraordinarily strong energies, and we need to prepare for the body and nervous system at Imbolc to receive them in advance of spring and summer, when they intensify.”
