I have some openings on Saturday at Blooma and I’m headed north on Friday to Woodberry, Hudson, and Saint Paul if anyone in that area needs a home visit.

I also have openings in Burnsville on Monday the 4th.

“Is knowledge controlling you, or are you controlling knowledge?”

We have a need to name, describe, and understand the things we engage with in life. Knowledge allows us to understand the world in the universe, but when it comes to understanding ourselves, our identity is a symbol that can be wrapped up in an expression of our knowledge. From the stance of knowledge, identity is the grounding sense of self that allows us to have our place in the Dream of the Planet; it gives us a point of reference by which we identify and engage with one another. But this identity is a mask that blurs our awareness of our authentic self, an attachment at this level occurs when we identify ourselves with our knowledge.

As we increase our attachment to our identity, knowledge and consensus become very important to us, to the point where they give us meaning in life. So we construct the mask of our identity by becoming the embodiment of our required knowledge in the form of our passion. This is a mask based on our preferences in life.

Spirit is the foundation of our physical existence. Within our cells, we carry building blocks called DNA that holds the information that shapes our physical form. In the 1980’s, studies showed that DNA emits photons (particles of light), in the visible light range, 900-200 nanometer. While it has no measurable mass, it can travel great distances. Your are made of light, my friend!!! We are constantly intermingling with others and our environments. The same materials that make up our constitution, iron, calcium, oxygen, make up the atmosphere, seas, mountains and the Earth. “First there is Spirit. This imperceptible force is what both shapes and infused the body, and it is the same Spirit that radiates from us, continuing after our bodies are no longer alive.” So once we are able to accept this, we are able to share what privilege we each carry in our DNA for the highest good of the planet and all of her inhabitants. 📸

When did your period return after having a baby? What was it like?

Breastfeeding can suppress ovulation which often means a delay in the return of the fertility cycle after having a baby. Exclusive breastfeeding with no other ni***es (i.e. pacifiers or bottles) offered to the baby is the most likely to keep a period away but for some any night time feeding will do it. It may be anywhere from 6 weeks -2 years. Called amenorrhea (no menstrual cycle), this doesn’t mean you can’t get pregnant as you will likely ovulate before your first period.

Have questions about what that first period may be like? https://theleakyboob.com/2016/01/12-surprising-possible-realities-of-your-first-postpartum-periods/

The Leaky B**b is facing some hard decisions about continuing on. We really need your help. If everyone who sees this would give $1/month ($12 a year) together we can make sure The Leaky B**b makes ends meet and sticks around to continue providing information, support, and community and grow in the resources we offer. https://bit.ly/300FPrL

I know. It’s crazy how glamorous I made pregnancy look. 😹
The truth of the matter is, I didn’t really like it. It’s fair to say that I even hated it. I hated what was happening in my body. I was sick the entire time.
I had terrible anxiety and depression that became even more pronounced in postpartum.
I didn’t have the tools to deal with the emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of growing a human. I thought I did. I went to all the doctors. I did all the things they told me to do. I was a good patient, taking the vitamins and medicines. Doing the exercises. Ate what I was told to eat.
Looking back, I was so disassociated from my body, my baby and my experience. Its something that I am noticing in my pregnant clients now, even those who love being pregnant. We do this.

Recent research from USA Connecticut’s Hartford Hospital determined that pregnant women who use Reiki on a regular basis experience a 94 percent reduction in stress and anxiety; a 78 percent reduction in pain; and an 80 percent reduction in morning sickness. Pregnant Reiki recipients also enjoy an 86 percent improvement in quality of sleep.

I am certainly not your average reiki practitioner. I work with your guides, ancestors, angels and other energy and body modalities to bring peace, calm, integration and groundedness. Is that a word?

To all those pregnant right now, put your hands on your belly and baby, take a moment and just be. All we have is this moment of now.

People come to me for many different reasons, in a week I might see clients for anxiety, depression, trauma in all of its many colors, divorce, substance abuse, sexual or physical abuse. I might do some distance healings, abdominal massage or craniosacral work. In the last month, I have led an End of Life Ceremony for an adult, many house clearings and blessings, and a straight up exorcism. One thing is for sure, every month, I will be working with someone who is in the process of grieving a miscarriage, stillbirth or a child’s death. In September, I supported 15 grieving families. There were no professional pictures taken. No proof of their devastation besides me as a witness. I say it like that because people still don't want to talk about it. There is so much shame around it. October is Pregnancy and infant loss awareness month. Chances are you have had this experience or know someone who has. Take time to honor yourself and your baby this month. Healing isn’t a linear experience. Sending so much love to those hurting and trying to have a baby. 💕💕💕
