Guardian Of The Light: Spirit Guide & Teacher Michele

02/02/2026

Halo loves … Feeling gratitude for today — not to do anything special per se, but to pause.
To breathe in and exhale - fully - like deep belly breathing.
To let the body unclench from a world that seems convinced we’re only worthy if we’re producing, pushing, proving, or witnessing murder on our iPhones… preferably all at once, on low sleep, and let’s not forget with a smile.

I know this has felt like a psychological Jordan Peele movie.

But I digress a tad bit.
Today feels like an invitation to be — and honestly, that alone feels like a small act of rebellion in a culture that profits from our dysregulation and crushed hearts.

It feels like a time to let clarity arrive void of anxiety or a sense of arriving at some destination exhausted, bewildered and tired.
To root power not in urgency, but in love.
The kind of love that’s steady. The kind that doesn’t need applause. AND the kind of love that burns s**t down. Remember: not all burning begins with a match.

Because let’s remember: even Jesus flipped tables.
He didn’t meditate quietly while people were being harmed — he called out hypocrisy when it became dangerous to the collective. Most of our sacred practices weren’t born from a desire to be “spiritual.” They were born from a desire for liberation — of the heart, the mind, and the soul.

This is a time to tend the fire in the hearth of our own being.
Not a bonfire for show.
A hearth.
Something warm. Something sustainable. Something steady to see you through tomorrow.

So we root now — deeply — not so we can hustle our way upward, but so when we rise, we do so clear, steady, and aligned.

And I’ll say this again (because it bears repeating):
Know what your work is, your dharma, your sacred path.

Not all of us are here for the same assignment.
Some of us are called to do threshold-crossing, consciousness-raising, heart-mending, warrior-soul work- and some are not. That is by design. Let’s be clear about that - and clear on WHAT IS yours is to do.

So during this time of light and fire,
may it light your way without burning you out,
clear your path without rushing you,
and root your heart so you don’t have to abandon yourself to belong.

Ase’

Taking the time to be still and ground my energy everyday is simply part of my energetic hygiene. With all of the information overload seippomg every day, this requires intention to create space to breathe to be rested and to be clear. These are my non-negotiables. 🙏🏽

It feels strange to post on Instagram.
Truthfully, I’ve avoided it.

Not because I have nothing to say—but because every time I take a breath to speak, another atrocity seems to arrive, threatening to steal the air right out of my body.

Thank goodness and the ancestors for practice. For breath. For presence. And still—no amount of tools, rituals, or Jedi-mind tricks in my overstuffed magical bag can truly prepare the heart for the surreal weight of what has unfolded in less than a single month of this already hellish year.

And yet… the breath does return.
It always does.

Because each time I choose to rest - not collapse, not numbness, but true rest—I find myself clearer, steadier, more sure-footed than I’ve been in a while. Not untouched by grief. Not unaffected. But grounded enough to meet what’s here without disappearing from myself.

I honor my lived experience, while knowing it does not compare to what so many are enduring right now—what they have endured for generations—and whatever else may be waiting in the days and weeks ahead.

But this much feels undeniable:
We are all being called to decide.

We have choice.

And despite the stories some still cling to—that what’s happening is random, temporary, or “not like us”—many of us know this is not new. It has been this and has continued unfolding for decades. It is simply no longer hidden.

For those who are clear about their path, their purpose, their calling for such a time as this—may the ancestors hold you steady. May they guide your hands, guard your heart, and protect the truth you are here to embody and now to share.

These are breath-snatching, heart-breaking, tear-falling times.
And still… we were born to them.

Find your people.
Find your center.
And dig in.

Whether your place is on the front lines, or on the prayer mat, or in deep listening and tending behind the scenes—walk the path you were born to walk. Lean into the medicine you carry. Let it be shared in the way only you can.

And so it is.

Not to mention, I started the year knocked flat by whatever remix of flu-virus-cold-something the universe is serving up these days, which had me out for the first two weeks of January. So while I’m genuinely grateful to be back in your inbox, because I have truly missed connecting with you, I won’t pretend that all is perfect.

What I will say is this:
All will be well.
And in a deeper way… all is well, even as my heart aches.

I’ve been taking my time—maybe longer than usual—sitting with what’s actually needed right now. Not just globally, but personally. What does it take to keep showing up? To keep pouring medicine? To keep holding space for people asking the same life questions I’ve carried for decades …while the nation I live in has become a global spectacle [and not in a good way at all.]?

I feel both the weight and the privilege of serving in this way. And I’m clearer than ever about my role in this very real, very human chapter we’re living through – that feels worse than teenage cramps [IYKYK -sorry gentlemen].

There’s an old Zen saying that’s been following me around like it’s got a sticky note on my forehead:
“The coin that is lost in the river is found in the river.”

Stick with me, I promise this is leading somewhere.

In plain, non-monk language:
When you lose your peace, your clarity, your center—it’s usually not because you need a new life, a new relationship, or a mountaintop escape.
It’s because something pulled you off yourself right here, in your actual, messy life.
Meaning… what you think you lost out there?
It’s usually waiting right where it fell.
In the conversation you avoided.
The boundary you didn’t set. The instagram post you read or watched for too long that fried your nervous system.

The moment you said, “It’s fine,” or “I’m alright,” when it wasn’t…after watching death and destruction in all it’s various forms on the news, social media, in a text.
Not glamorous. Very effective.

Woke up today sensing the heaviness of the world. I always feel it in my body first. It feels like “too much” much like when you’ve eaten far too much food and your body pushes back. That feeling. So today I choose to sit with the “too muchness” and allow it to speak. Next I will move my body to make sure and release what is not mine to carry. Hello Saturday…..

Two of my favorite things Christmas holiday which for me is a combination this year of Solstice , Yule and Christmas and cozy rest with spectacular views. When I’m in Western North Carolina it’s the Blue Ridge and when I’m home it’s the expansive views of Central Park and walking from South to North; the length of her.

A beautiful present delivery early or maybe right on time.

Hello loves…

May this season be filled with peace and moments of genuine joy—for all of us.

Let’s be honest… 2025 didn’t gently pass through.
It hurtled through our nervous systems like a full-on cosmic rollercoaster.
Events unfolded fast, loud, and sometimes without warning—more tsunami than ripple. And for many, the recovery hasn’t been quick or tidy.

This is the season we’re told is all holly and jolly—the season of togetherness, reflection, and belonging. And for some, that’s beautiful.
For others… it’s complicated. And that matters.

Loss doesn’t always look like grief with a capital G.
Sometimes it’s the loss of a routine.
A relationship that shifted.
A chapter that quietly closed.
Or even a version of yourself you didn’t expect to outgrow—or lose.

So if this season feels tender, heavy, or a little quieter than the songs suggest… you’re not doing it wrong.

No matter where you find yourself right now, know this:
You are not alone—even when it feels that way.
The sun does rise after the storm.
And yes, it still finds its way through the clouds—every time.

These are the moments to notice who shows up for you without being asked.
To move gently.
To choose what actually nourishes your spirit instead of what looks good on the outside.

May this holiday season remind you of your light, your resilience, and your purpose—however softly it’s showing up right now.

All my love this holiday season,
~ Miche ✌🏽💋🎄
