Solstice: The Darkest Night, the Returning Light
There is a deep, wordless knowledge that wakes inside us when the year leans into its longest night. The solstice has always been less a single event than a living conversation between sky and earth, a threshold where silence gathers, the small fires are tended and the old stories rise up to meet us.
Across cultures, ancestors stood at this threshold and named the same turning; death and rebirth, contraction and opening, a time to tend inner stores and to remember the ways that endure. This is not mere pagan pageantry; it is practical, ancestral cosmology like a map for how to live through darkness and steward the return of light
Temple Alignments and Sun Rebirth from Egypt
The Egyptians built temples and oriented their shrines to the movements of the sun. At Karnak, for example, the winter solstice sunrise aligns with the temple’s axis and can illuminate inner sanctuaries, built as a reminder that the sun’s ebb is also the seed of its return. For them, the solar cycle was inspearable from concepts of life, death and renewal embodied in deities like Anum-RA and in the seasonal patterns of the Nile.
Golden Ages and Inverted Orders from Greece and Rome
Across the Mediterranean the solstice was bound to myths of a “golden age” and seasonal reversal. The Greeks marked mid-year alignments with festivals that honored agricultural cycles and the turning of time; the Romans celebrated Saturnalia in mid-December as a ritualized return to a kinder age, when social orders relaxed and people celebrated abundance and rebirth. These festivals taught that the deepest meaning of the solstice is social, relations and regenerative not just astronomical.
A Worldwide Thread
From the Neolithic builders who aligned stone rows to the winter fires of northern peoples, the solstice is a human hinge, a point at which communities gathered, feasted and enacted mythic returns so that life could continute. Celebrations vary in shape and name but the patterns is consistent; the darkness is held, witnessed and then answered by light.
Lemurian Memory and the Modern Esoteric Current
Lemuria, as a mythical current in modern esoteric traditions, holds the solstice as a moment of attunement with Earth’s more than physical memory. While Lemurian material is not archeological history in the academic sense, it is meaningful within living spiritual lineages that honor solstice rites as a way of reconnecting with ancestral landscapes, subtle nature intelligences and the deeper remembering of humanity’s luminous potential. Many contemporary practitioners gather at solstice sites like mountains, springs and groves to renew that remembrance.
The Deeper Meaning: What the Solstice Invites Us To Do
The solstice asks for three things:
Witness the darkness without shrinking. The ancestors taught that to look into the long night is not to be consumed by it but to see what must be made visible. When shadow is acknowledged, it can be transmuted.
Tend the inner fires. Ritual, storytelling and small communal practices are ways to keep the inner hearth alive These acts are not superstitions, they are technologies for coherence. Lighting a candle, speaking a name or setting an intention are all ways to amplify the returning light.
Remember your light body. The solstice invites us to lean into the truth that our identity is not limited to flesh and roles but extends into the presence and union with our light body. As shadow material clears both individually and collectively, dormant memory of being held in light begins to return. This is the sacred work we do in The Quantum Healing Method as we remove the blockages to allow this deeper remembrance to surface.
Why does 2026 Feel Especially Potent?
This coming year feels like a hinge year. The darkness that has been exposed in resent seasons has, painfully, made visible what was hidden collectively. Visibility is the first step toward healing; it allows us to apply remedy and then intensify the light. There is now more light available and because many people are doing deep clearing work, there is now a much more palpable opportunity presenting in 2026 to accelerate the collective reclaimation and to rebuild our luminous fields, to practice embodied remembering and to align personal transformation with a wider planetary reweaving.
In closing…
The solstice is so much more than a calendar point; it is an ancestral doorway that asks us to hold what is revealed, to tend to what is tender and to claim the returning light as a new way of living. This winter, I invite you to hold this powerful threshold with reverence and resolution as you clean the clutter, remember your light body and live truly here and now as beings of light in service to one another and to our sacred earth.
The Invisible Architecture of Belief
Our beliefs are not just our thoughts - they are the energetic blueprints that shape how light moves through our body. Every belief emits a frequency and that frequency either opens or contricts the pathways of the light body. When beliefs are aligned with pure potential - “I am whole, I am capable, I am loved” then the energy flows freely. When beliefs are rooted in fear or separation like “I can’t, I am not good enough, I am powerless”, the current collapses and the pure potential becomes dormant.
These belief structures live in the subconscious. They are the quiet architects of our reality.
Inherited Frequency - The Ancestral Code
Much of what we call “belief” is not personal at all. Our cells hold memories that predate our lifetime - the epigenetic echoes of our lineage. Within this cellular memory live ancestral patterns of fear, scarcity, survival and shame - frequencies imprinted during collective trauma, cultural conditioning or times of great loss and restriction.
These imprints are what we call Ancestral Entanglements - unresolved energetic threads passed through generations. They inform how we perceive ourselves, what we believe is possible and even how we unconsciously limit our own expansion. We inherit both the light and the density of those who came before us.
When we hold the belief that “this is just who I am”, we often speak from an inherited pattern rather than an authentic truth. Awakening the light body allows us to disentangle from these ancestral frequencies, liberating our own consciousness and offering healing back through the lineage itself.
How Dormancy Becomes a Loop
Fear contracts energy; belief holds it in place. Together, they create what we call the Dormancy Loop - a repeating cycle of self-limiting patterns that keep the light body asleep. We then live the same stories, attract the same dynamics, replay the same emotional tones, all because the subconscious program insists “this is who I am”. The loop feeds itself until awareness interrupts it. Awareness is the spark that cracks the shell.
Belief As Frequency
Every belief vibrates. A belief of scarcity vibrates at a slower wavelength, creating density. A belief of expansion resonates faster, aligning the cells with coherance and light. When we shift a belief, we shift the vibrational code that informs our biology, our perception and our field. This is not psychological only; it’s energetic repatterning.
Quantum Repatterning Activation - Re-writing the Code
Throught the Quantum Repatterning Activation, we engage the triadic current of awareness, breath and light. The moment we bring breath (expansion) into a belief, we begin to recognize its frequency. The harmonic breath used in The Quantum Healing Method becomes a tool for recoding as the inhale draws in awareness to the pattern, the pause illuminates it and the exhale transmutes it back into coherance. The breath is one of the tools we utilizie as we deep dive into transmuting belief frequency. In this way, the activation not only awakens the light body, it rewrites the belief architecture that governs it.
From Belief to Knowing
Belief is mental; knowing is cellular. When the light body is active, belief is replaced by knowing, an emodied remembrance of our infinite potential. The Dormancy Loop dissolves because there is nothing left to maintain it. You are no longer trying to believe in your divinity - you are living it.
We are not here to escape our beliefs; we are here to illuminate them. Every breath, every pulse of awareness, every activation invites the light of truth to move where fear once ruled. As the inner architecture rewrites itself, the loop opens the energy flows and the infinite potential breathes through you again. Awareness breaks the loop. Breath rewrites the code and light remembers itself.
As we remember and release, we return to the original resonance of wholeness. Through it, we not only transform our own belief systems but we participate in the greater evolution of our lineage, our species and our collective awakening.

Time, Timelines, and the Possibility of Time Travel
Time has always been one of humanity’s greatest mysteries. We measure it, chase it, fear it, and yet—deep down—we sense it isn’t as rigid as we’ve been taught.
We’ve been conditioned to think of time as a straight line: past → present → future. But that’s only one lens. It’s the way the human brain organizes experience so that we can function within physical reality. In truth, time is not linear at all—it’s dimensional.
When we move beyond the brain’s sequencing of moments, we begin to perceive that all time exists simultaneously, as energy. Every “past” and every “future” is a potential or a frequency that we can access when our consciousness attunes to it.
Throughout history, mystics, scientists, and dreamers have intuited this. From Einstein’s relativity to quantum physics to indigenous understandings of the eternal now—each points toward the same truth: time bends, folds, and flows, but it does not end.
It’s no wonder the idea of time travel fascinates so many. Books like Baron Trump’s Marvelous Underground Journey (written in the late 1800s by Ingersoll Lockwood) sparked conversation because they seemed to predict real people and events from our present era. Whether we view that as coincidence, precognition, or quantum resonance, what it truly reveals is the permeability of time itself.
When consciousness expands, time loosens. We begin to sense that what we call the “future” is already happening in another layer of existence—and that the “past” is still alive in our energetic field. The work of healing, awakening, and conscious creation is, in a very real sense, a kind of time travel: we move back to meet old versions of ourselves, we rewrite the energetic imprint of memory, and we project new frequencies forward to shape what’s to come.
When you shift your vibration, you shift timelines. When you heal an old wound, you rewrite your past. When you envision and feel the energy of your future self, you begin to call that timeline into being.
So, is time travel real? In the truest sense, yes—but not always through machines or portals. It happens through consciousness. It happens every time we transcend the illusion of linearity and remember that all possibilities already exist.
When we step into that awareness, the limitations of time dissolve, and we begin to live from the eternal now—the only real moment there ever is.
If you feel called to explore the timelines held within your own energy field—to understand how your past experiences, present vibrations, and future potentials are all interconnected—I invite you to book a session with me. Together, we’ll work with the subtle layers of consciousness, bringing awareness to the energetic imprints that shape your timeline and opening pathways toward your highest potential reality.
The Role of Projection
From the perspective of The Quantum Healing Method, projection is understood not as a psychological flaw but as an energetic mechanism through which the unintegrated aspects of the self attempt to be seen. Projection occurs when unresolved patterns, fear based imprints or unprocessed emotional dialogue are externalized onto another person or situation. In essence, what we cannot yet witness within ourselves becomes “cast outward” into the hologram of our relationships and experiences.
Why Projection Happens
Projection often arises from wound imprints (usually trauma based) that remain fragmented within the field. These fragments generate internal tension outward. Instead of turning inward to meet the discomfort, the psyche attempts to regulate by relocating the perceived threat outside of self. In quantum terms, projection is an energetic deflection as the system temporarily off loads what it is not yet prepared to metabolize.
The Gift of Projection
While projection can create conflict or distortion, it also carries inherent intelligence. Every projection is a messenger as it reveals the exact frequency that is seeking coherence, integration or acknowledgement. When recognized consciously, projection becomes an invitation to retrieve the part of self that has been disowned, silenced or hidden in shadow.
The Dynamic Between Projector and Receiver
From a quantum perspective, the “other” plays a vital role in this exchange. The receiver of a projection always has two sovereign choices":
Absorb the projection as if it were true, allowing it to imprint or destabilize the field or,
Serve as a reflective surface, returning the projection to it’s source with neutrality and clarity
This reflective capacity does not mean mirroring with judgement, confrontation or emotional charge. Instead, it is the ability to holds one’s own field steady enough to let the projector’s energy return to them unchanged allowing them to witness their own pattern without collapes or entanglement…easier said then done but the ideal goal non the less.
Why We Avoid Owning Our Own Inner Dialogue
Taking responsiblity for our internal emotional dialogue can feel threatening when the system is still organized around protection, survival or old narratives of powerlessness. Projection often appears “easier” because it allows temporary relief from the discomfort of self confrontation. But that relief is always short lived. The energy we cast outward must eventually return home for reconcilliation.
The Quantum Opportunity
In The Quantum Healing Method, projection is reframed as a transformational portal. By identifying the projection and reclaiming the energy behind it, the practitioner and the client can
restore coherence in the emotional field
bring shadow material into conscious integration
interrupt fear based loops
recover agency and repattern the wound signature
strengthen the individual’s capacity to remain present in relational exchange
Rather than a distortion to shame, projection can become a signal to decode. It is one of the most direct pathways into self-awareness, shadow integration and energetic wholeness.

The Mind and the Brain: Understanding the Invisible Drivers of Our Lives
Most people use the words mind and brain interchangeably, but they are not the same. The brain is a physical organ — a biological receiver and processor of information. It’s the instrument through which signals, thoughts, and sensations move. The mind, on the other hand, is not physical. It is energetic and expansive — the field of consciousness that uses the brain as its instrument.
The brain belongs to the body; the mind belongs to consciousness. The brain organizes data, creates neural pathways, and runs the body’s systems. The mind perceives, imagines, dreams, and directs energy. The brain is like a piano; the mind is the musician.
Within the mind itself, there are layers — the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. The conscious mind is what you use to make decisions, to think, to reason, and to focus your attention. It is what you are aware of in the moment. But the subconscious mind — the deeper layer — is where your belief systems, memories, habits, and emotional patterns live.
It is said that the subconscious mind runs about 95% of our lives. It stores everything that has ever happened to us, every emotional imprint, every conclusion we’ve ever drawn about ourselves and the world. These stored beliefs and programs then operate automatically, often beneath our awareness, shaping how we think, feel, and act.
If, for example, the subconscious holds a belief like “I’m not enough” or “It’s not safe to be seen,” that belief will quietly influence every decision you make, every relationship you enter, and every opportunity you approach — no matter what your conscious intentions may be. The conscious mind may affirm abundance and possibility, but if the subconscious is carrying a program of fear, scarcity, or unworthiness, that deeper current will override the surface-level thought.
This is why so many of us feel blocked, stuck, or unable to fully create what we know is possible. The issue isn’t willpower — it’s wiring. True transformation begins not by trying to think differently, but by bringing light and awareness into the subconscious mind, where these old programs live, and gently re-patterning them into harmony with who we really are.
When we uncover and release the belief systems that no longer serve us, the conscious and subconscious minds begin to align — and that’s when life flows again. That’s when creation, joy, and freedom naturally arise.
If you’d like to explore the hidden layers of your own subconscious mind and discover the belief systems that may be shaping your experience, I invite you to book a session with me. Together, we can bring awareness to those deeper patterns, shift the energetic imprints, and open new pathways for peace, clarity, and authentic expression.
The Fear of Death - The Great Constriction of Life
There is a moment in every healing journey when the fear of death quietly makes itself known. Sometimes it’s obvious by way of a fear of illness, endings or loss. However, more often than not, it lives beneath the surface woven through our daily choices and subtle resistances. It’s there in the tension we hold in our breath, in the need to control outcomes, in the avoidance of stillness because in stillness we touch the mystery.
From both a biological and energetic perspective, the fear of death is the deepest constriction in the human field. It binds the nervous system, limits expansion and prevents us from living in coherence with the natural rhythms of life
THE BIOLOGICAL ROOT OF FEAR
At the physiological level, fear of death keeps the nervous system in survival mode. It’s the chronic hum of fight, flight, freeze that many people live with unconsciously. The body interprets uncertainty, change and even emotional vulnerability as potential threats.
When we are afraid to die, we are also afraid to let go and live life to the fullest. The result; we hold tension in the muscles, armor our heart and swallow our breath. Our parasympathetic system which is our healing and repair mode become suppressed and our creative, intuitive energy dims or goes completely silent. In this state, we survive but we do not thrive.
The Energetic Echo
Energetically, death represents transformation - the shift from one frequency to another. When we resist death, we resist transformation. The same current that animates life also guides its cycles of release and renewal.
Every time we cling to what has already completed it’s purpose (an old identity, a relationship, a role or even a belief) we interupt the natural alchemy of life. The energy that could be flowing into new creation becomes trapped in fear and stagnation.
Death, in truth, is the soul’s expansoin into new form. It is the dissolving of boundaries between what was and what is becoming.
The Nervous System and the Breath of Surrender
The vagus nerve which is the great communicator between the brain, the heart and the viscera, holds the key to navigating these cycles with grace. When activated through mindful breathing and presence, it signals safety to the body. The system relaxes and the breath deepens.
Through practices like the Quantum Harmonic Breath, we learn to exhale longer than we inhale - symbolically and physiologically releasing what no longer serves. Each breath out becomes a small death, a surrender, a clearing. Each inhale becomes a gentle rebirth.
As we breathe this way, the body begins to trust the rhythm of release and renewal . We begin to experience death not as an end but as a continuum of energetic movement from density to light.
The Spiritual Alchemy of Letting Go
In The Quantum Healing Method, we understand that coherence representing the harmony between the body, the mind and the field, arises when energy moves freely. To release the fear of death is to release the greatest contraction of all.
When we soften our resistance to endings, we open to life’s intelligence itself. We begin to live in rhythm with the eternal pulse of expansion and contraction, creation and dissolution.
This is where real peace lives. It isn’t in escaping death but in embracing the full spectrum of existence. It’s in trusting that what you truly are is consciousness, energy, awareness and infinite which means you do not end.
Living Beyond Fear - oh the freedom!
To live fully, we must allow ourselves to die many times as we shed what no longer aligns and to release the armor that once protected us and to surrender to a deeper truth.
When we do, life reveals itself as a spiral of ever-evolving, ever-returning and always alive energetic flow rather than a straight line from birth to death. Then, we dissolve our fear of death and reclaim the freedom to live -vividly, presently and coherently. In that space, healing is no longer something we chase, it becomes the natural state of who we are.
Perhaps the real initiation of awakening is not learning how to transcend death but learning to befriend it. To recognize that each breath, each exhale is a rehearsal for release and that each inhale is a welcome new creation. When we are no longer afraid to die, we are finally free to live.
From Forgiveness to Freedom - The Gift Within Every Wound
Forgiveness is a word we hear often whether it’s in church, in therapy or in spiritual circles. We know it is something we “should” do to find peace. But what does forgiveness really mean? And, is their a deeper, more radical way to understand it; one that not only frees the heart from resentment but transforms the very wound that caused it.
The Traditional View - Christian Forgiveness
In the Christian traditional, forgiveness is often seen as a moral act, a virtue we extend to those who have wronged us. We forgive because we are called to rise above anger, because it is what God asks of us and because it brings peace to our own Soul.
This form of forgiveness says “you hurt me but I choose to release the anger so I can be free.” It is noble compassionate and healing in itself. It clears the emotional field of bitterness allowing love to return.
But even in this traditional model, there is often an unspoken separation - there is still a “me” who was wronged and a “you” who did the wrong. The pain is acknowledged and released, but the story of victim and perpretator remains intact.
The Shift to Radical Forgiveness
Radical forgiveness as taught by Colin Tipping invites us into a higher level of consciousness; one that sees every event, every wound, every betrayal as part of a divine curriculum for our soul’s evolution. In this model, nothing truly “wrong” ever happens. Instead, everything that unfolds - no matter how painful - is an opportunity for awakening. The moment we shift from “why did this happen to me?” to “what is this showing me?” we move from victimhood to empowerment
Radical forgiveness is not about condoning hurtful behavior. It is however about seeing the deeper perfection within the experience as we recognize that every wound carries a message and every person who triggers it is a mirror revealing something we are ready to heal.
The Gifts Hidden in the Wound
When we look at life through this lens, we realize that every moment of suffering holds the seed of transformation. The people who hurt us are often the very souls who agreed to play difficult roles so that we could awaken to our own truth, This does not mean that we deny pain or do a spiritual bypass. It does mean that we feel it fully, honor it’s message and then harvest the wisdom it offers.
Let’s look at some examples:
Abandonment If we hold the belief that we were abandoned by a parent, a partner or life itself, we often carry the vibration of unworthiness. From the victim’s view, abandonment means “I was left. I am not enough”. But through the eyes of Radical forgiveness, we ask ‘what gift is being offered through this experience?” Perhaps the abandonment was not punishment but rather liberation - an initiation into self sovereignty and emotoinal independance.
The soul might have orchestrated that very experience to teach us how to stand in our own power and to learn that we are never truly alone. Once we embrace that, the energy of abandonment dissolves as we realize there was never any real separation to begin with.
Betrayal: Betrayal can be one of the deepest human pains. It shakes the foundation of trust and safety. Yet, when we approach it through Radical forgiveness, we begin to see that betrayal often mirrors an old beleif system - one that we are ready to heal.
For example, if my husband had an affair while I was pregnant, it would be easy to stay trapped in the story “ he betrayed me - I am the victim”. However when taking a deeper look, I might see that I have a long carried belief that “men can’t be trusted “ or “all men evertually cheat” Perhaps that belief took root in childhood when I perceived that my father left or turned his attention elsewhere, even if he never actually did.
So, my current experience mirrors that unhealed belief, giving me a chance to see it clearly and release it once and for all. When I heal that energetic wound coming from my deeply engrained belief system, I no longer attract experiences that validate it. The betrayal then becomes a teacher rather than a tragedy. In this light, there is nothing to forgive - only something to be grateful for and to thank.
Healing the Body and the Belief
Every moment of unforgiveness holds energy - an energetic imprint of contraction stored in the body. When we carry resentment, judgement or blame, the vibration of that wound lingers in our cells, in our nervious system and in our energy field.
Radical forgiveness liberates that energy. When we choose to see the perfection behind the pain, the energetic charge dissolves. The belief that once held us hostage, releases it’s grip and the body naturally shifts into coherence. Healing then becomes not about “letting go” of someone but about integrating the part of ourselves that was still holding on to the story.
The Freedom Beyond Forgiveness
True forgiveness is not something we do - it is something that arises naturally when we see through the illusion of separation. From this perspective, there is no offender, no victim, no debt. There is only consciousness expanding through experience. When we reach that space, gratitude replaces resentment. We no longer need to forgive because we undersand that everything happens for us, not to us. Every wound was an invitation to remember who we truly are - whole, complete, loved and always connected to source.
Radical forgivenss brings us home to our divine neutrality - the state of unconditional love that sees all experience as sacred. In closing, forgiveness in it’s highest form is graditude. It is the moment we look back at what once broke us and whisper “thank you for showng me what I needed to heal”.
When we see through the eyes of Radical forgiveness, the heart expands, the body lightens and we step into freedom. We are no longer defined by the story of our pain but transformed by the wisdom it revealed.

Unraveling the Energetic Threads of Trauma Bonding
Human connection is meant to be nourishing - a reflection of safety, love and mutual growth. Yet sometimes, the bonds we form are born not out of love but out of survival. These are called trauma bonds - powerful emotional and energetic attachments that keep us tethered to cycles of pain, control or dependency even when we know they are unhealthy.
What Is Trauma Bonding?
Trauma bonding occurs when deep emotional connection forms through repeated cycles of pain, fear and intermittent reward. It’s the energetic glue that holds together relationships built on intensity rather than stability.
Psychologically, it’s rooted in the brain’s survival response as a pattern that develops when periods of abuse or neglect are followed by moments of affection, apology or relief. The nervious system learns to associate chaos with connection and love with pain.
Energetically, a trauma bond is a corded attachment, a binding of frequencies between two people that form’s during heightened emotional states. It can occur in romantic partnerships, families, friendships or even teacher - student or healer - client dynamics. The intensity of the emotional charge creates a strong energetic imprint in the auric field which can be difficult to release without conscious healing.
Where Does Trauma Bonding Come From?
Most trauma bonds trace back to childhoo.d. When we experience inconsistant care, love mixed with fear, presence mixed with absence then we internalize confusion about what love feels like. Our developing nervous system learns that love requires self abandonment or that closeness inevitably brings pain.
Later in life, we unconsciously recreate those patterns, magnetizing relationships that replay the familiar dynamics. The inner child is not seeking pain it is seeking resolution. It longs for the moment when the pattern will finally heal, when the love that once hurt will finally become safe. But, because unresolved energy attracts what matches it’s vibration, trauma bonds often perpetuate the very wound we are trying to heal.
Dysfunctional Patterns of a Trauma Bond
Trauma bonds often look like “intense love” at first. There’s chemistry, urgency and a sense of fate but beneath that intensity lies instability. Some common energetic and behavioral patterns include:
Push - pull dynamics: One partner pursues while the other withdraws creating cycles of chase and retreat that keep both nervous systems on edge.
Addictive highs and lows: Periods of closeness are followed by emotinal withdrawl, criticism or chaos. The nervous system becomes addicted to the adrenaline of reconnection.
Caretaking or “fixing”: One person becomes the healer/rescuer believing love can transform the other’s pain.
Self-abandonment: Ignoring one’s own needs or intuition to mainain connection
Energetic enmeshment: The auric fields overlap excessively whereby emotions, thoughts and even physical sensation blur between partners.
Fear of Loss or Emptiness: The idea of letting go feels unbearable as if part of one’s identity would dissolve.
Trauma bonds thrive on intensity, not intimacy. They feed off of charge, not calm. That is why peace can feel uncomfortable at first as the body is not yet used to it.
Why Is It so Difficult to Unhook?
Breaking free from a trauma bond isn’t about willpower; it’s about nervous system regulation and energetic disentanglement. When we bond through trauma, our physiology literally adapts to the other person’s energy. The body releases dopamine and oxytocin which are the same chemicals that create feelings of love and trust even in moments of conflict or mistreatment. The subconscious equates survival with staying connected so leaving feels like danger.
Energetically, trauma bonds create cords in the emotional and mental bodies. These cords can act as two - way channels of energy, continually triggering old emotions or memories. Even after separation, one may feel the other’s presence, dreams or moods. This is why “just moving on” rarely works without energetic clearing and emotional repair.
Tools for Unhooking a Trauma Bond with Energy Medicine
Healing a trauma bond is both an emotional and energetic process. It’s about reclaiming the life force that has been invested in someone else’s field and re-grounding it into your own. Some supportive practices include:
Nervious System Regulation Grounding is the first step. Deep breathing, gentle movement, time in nature and somatic practices calm the body’s stress response. When the nervous system feels safe, the grip of attachment begins to loosen.
Cord Cutting and Energy Reclamation In energy medicine, you can visualize or facilitate the release of cords which are energetic threads that connect you to another person This isn’t about severing love; its about clearing entanglement. During meditation or healing work, imagine your energy field surrounded by light. See any cords that feel heavy or draining and with compassion, return their energy to them and call your own energy back home. Ask your higher self or guides to assist in sealing your field with pure source light.
Heart Chakra Healing Trauma bonds often live in the heart in the intersection of love and pain. Gentle breathwork, rose or green light visualization and flower essences like bleeding heart, pink yarrow or self heal can help mend the emotional body and restore authentic self love.
Inner Child Dialogue Reconnect with the part of you that first learned to associate love with fear Ask the child within “what do you need to feel safe now? Energy healing that includes inner child work allows those fractured timelines to integrate, bringing back innocence and wholeness.
Forgiveness and Boundaries Forgiveness is not permission for harm; it is the release of energetic charge, As you forgive, you dissolve the cords of resentment that keep you tied Healthy boundaries then protect the newly healed field, preventing reattachent,
Restoring Authentic Connection Once a trauma bond dissolves, space opens for true connection in relationships based on resonance, not rescue. Our body’s learn that love can be safe, calm and steady. This is the healing; when peace no longer feels like boredom and love no longer feels like pain
Trauma bonding is not a sign of weakness; it is the body’s brilliant attempt to heal through familiarity. When we approach it with compassion and energy awareness, we transform survival patterns into conscious power
Through the work of energetic clearing, inner child healing and nervous system regulation, we retrieve the pieces of ourselves that were once given away. As we reclaim that energy, we begin to live and love from wholeness instead of the wound.
Let’s work together
Every experience holds the seed of healing when met with presence and love. Through my work, I guide others through gentle awareness and release of what is heavy as we integrate what has been fragmented and return to the deep harmony that has always been within you.

The Power of Intention Continued
It all begins with an idea.
The Power of Intention to Release
Every transformation begins with an ending. We cannot carry the weight of the past and still expect to step fully into the light of what is calling us forward.
This is why release is the first act of transformation.
Release does not mean abandoning who you are or erasing your story. It means creating space. It is the conscious decision to put down the burdens, beliefs and patterns that no longer serve your growth and to trust that life will meet you with what is needed next.
And here is the truth: release doesn’t happen on its own. It happens through intention.
When you set the intention to release, you signal to your whole being: I am ready for more light. I am ready to clear the space for what is true. Even if the process feels uncomfortable, intention steadies your heart and reminds you why you are letting go.
Think of it as preparing the soil before planting a garden. The clearing makes way for new growth.
In the Living As Light journey, this is the first threshold; an invitation to name what you are carrying and choose, with intention, to release it. Whether it is an outdated belief, a fear that holds you back or simply the heaviness of trying to control what cannot be controlled, release is an act of freedom.
Reflection for you right now: What are you ready to set down so that you can walk lighter? Take a breath, set an intention and trust that letting go is an act of love
The Transformative Power of Intention: Walking the Path of Living As Light
It all begins with an idea.
Transformation doesn’t happen by accident. It begins with a choice, an inner yes, that sets energy in motion. That choice is intention.
Intention is more than wishful thinking or hopeful daydreaming. It is a conscious act of aligning your energy, your focus and your heart with the reality you are ready to embody. It is both a compass and a current; it shows you the way forward and carries you into the new landscapes of being.
When we move through life without intention, it’s easy to feel scattered, pulled in many directions or caught in cycles that never quite shift. But when we choose to live intentionally, each step becomes sacred. Each breath becomes a chance to anchor light into the moment.
Intention as a Portal to Transformation
Every stage of transformation whether it’s letting go, awakening new vision or embodying wholeness, asks for intentional presence,
Intention to Release: Naming what no longer serves and opening space for what’s to come.
Intention to Receive: Saying yes to guidance, insight and the subtle ways spirit supports us.
Intention to Embody: Choosing to live from the heart again and again until it becomes second nature.
This is not about perfection. It’s about remembering, each day, that your focus and attention have creative power.
Living As Light: A Journey of Intentional Transformation
The Living As Light program was born out of this truth-that when we move intentionally through the stages of transformation, we begin to live from a higher frequency of being.
Each state of the journey offers a container for your intention:
A place to lay down old burdens
A space to deepen trust and surrender.
A path to embody the light you already are.
By showing up with intention, you shift the way energy flows in your life. What was once heavy begins to lighten. What felt unclear begins to shine with clarity. And what once seemed impossible, reveals itself as your next natural step.
The Invitation
If you feel called to walk this path, let your first intention be this: to meet yourself fully, here and now. From there, everything else unfolds.
The Living as Light journey isn’t about adding something new to you - it’s about remembering and reclaiming who you already are. Intention is the key that opens the door. Learn more here
The Subtle Healing Language of Flowers
There are medicines you can see hold in your hand and measure with a spoon. And, there are medicines that you feel. They slip past words and numbers, flowing instead into the quiet spaces inside of you - where grief rests, where joy stirs and where your nervious system remembers how to breath again.
Flower essences belong to this second kind of medicine.
They are not perfume, (often I have customers who open the bottle and smell it). They are really not even a tincture. They are the vibrational imprint of the living flower - the way it’s presence feels IN your body, captured in water, sun infused by nature and preserved so as to stabilize it for you to drink in.
If you have ever walked past a blooming tree and felt something shift in you - maybe you took a deep breath for the first time in awhile or you had a sudden memory that presented itself in your mind or you simply had an overwhelming feeling that all is right in the world for a moment then, you already know the language of flower essences.
It is a language of resonance, harmony and the way nature tunes you to her frequency.
I believe this is why flower essences meet us where other “medicines” cannot. They don’t force, they don’t demand - they invite and in that invitation, something inside of us shifts into the yes.
A Gentle Beginning: Heart of Grace
For those walking the tender road of grief - whether fresh or long lived, my flagship blend, Heart of Grace, was created as a companion. It holds the essences of mimosa, cacao and peace lily and is grounded in the crystalline structure of pink opal. Each of these elements serve as a quiet healer to the heart that is grieving.
Heart of Grace is not here to erase your grief. It is here to soften the edges, to help your nervious system release the held breath and to remind your spirit that even in sorrow, there is beauty.
This blend and it’s accompanying 5 day guide will be available for purchase in early November.

In the months to come, I will be sharing more stories, rituals and teachings about vibrational medicine here on the blog. Each will offer you an invitation to learn, listen and remember what your body already knows. Healing can be as simple as a flower in bloom.
The Forgotten Science of Frequency - Returning to Ancient Ways of Healing
For thousands of years, healing was understood as a harmony of energy, rhythm and vibration. Every culture from the Egyptians and Greeks to the Chinese, Indigenous peoples and Ayurvedic practitioners knew that the body was not just a collection of parts but an intelligent, living symphony of frequencies. Illness, they believed, was simply a distortion in that harmony; a distruption in the body’s natural vibration.
Today, modern medicine largely operates within the Cartesian model which is a system born from the philosophy of Rene’ Decartes, who separated mind from body, spirit from matter. In doing so, medicine became mechanical. The body was viewed as a machine; if one part broke down, it could be replaced, medicated or removed without consideration of the whole.
This model has achieved incredible things, surgeries, antibiotics, imaging technology but when it comes to chronic illness, emotional imbalance or energetic depletion, it often fails very quickly. This is because if focuses on treating symptoms not the underlying energetic distortion that gave rise to the symptom in the first place.
Ancient Healing and the Language of Frequency
Long before machines could measure brain waves or heart rhythms, healers worked directly with vibration.
Sound and chant: Ancient Egyptians used harmonic chants in their temples; Tibetan monks still chant specific frequencies to align energy centers in the body. Sound frequencies can entrain brainwaves, balance the nervious system and restore coherence.
Plant Medicine: Every plant carries it’s own vibrational signature - it’s frequency when used in medicine or ceremony, Plants help re-tune the human frequency to one of harmony and wholeness.
Energy and Touch: Practices like Reiki, Qi Gong or Pranic healing work by directing life force energy (chi, prana) where it’s needed, reminding the body of it’s natural rhythm and ability to self heal.
These ancient systems all shared one truth; healing is not about fixing something broken but it is about remembering balance.
The Cartesian Divide: A Model That Forgot the Whole
The Cartesian approach while rational and evidence driven, divides the body into isolated systems - cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine, nervous. Specialist focus on one system at a time often ignoring how they interconnect. A thyroid imbalance might be treated with hormones, but the underlying emotional frequency - perhaps fear, suppression or over-responsiblity goes untouched.
The result? Temporary relief, recurring illness and deeper disconnection from the self. The modern model sees disease as an invasion from outside forces; ancient healing understood disease as “communication” - the body’s way of signaling imbalance in vibration or conciousness.
The Frequency of Healing
Modern science is beginning to rediscover what the ancients always knew and everything is frequency. From the atomic structure of our cells to the electromagnetic waves our thoughts, all life vibrates. When an organ vibrates out of it’s natural frequency, due to trauma, toxins or emotional stress, disease begins to form.
Change the Frequency and You Change the State of Matter
This is the self healing principle every cell in the body holds - the intelligence to repair itself when brought back into resonance. Healing frequencies through sound, light, plant essences or intention help remind the body of the original pattern of health
Dr. Royal Rife’s work in the early 1900’s showed that every micro-organism has a specific frequency at which it disintegrates. likewise, modern quantum biology and cymatics demonstrate that vibration literally shapes matter. The body is not healed by force but the frequency as it restores coherence to the field.
A Return to Wholeness We are now standing at a bridge between two worlds - the analytical precision of modern medicine and the intuitive wisdom of ancient healing. The future of health lies not in choosing one over the other but in the INTEGRATION; combining frequency based healing with the structure of modern science. The body is not a machine to be fixed by is more like an instrument to be tuned.
When we shift our understanding of health from a mechanical process to a vibrational one, healing becomes not something done to us but something awakened within us.
In the end, healing is REMEMBERANCE. The remembrance that our bodies are living energy systems - luminous, resonant and capable of infinite self renewal when aligned with the frequencies of life itself.

A Conversation with the Heart
It all begins with an idea.
There is a place within you that speaks a language beyond words. It’s older than your mind, wiser than your logic and it beats in time with the rhythm of the earth. We call it the heart.
Science now tells us the heart has it’s own field of energy and intelligence. This energy field can be measured several feet outside the body. Imagine a garden that blooms and shifts with every feeling thought or memory that passes through your being. Flowers know how to listen and speak in this garden of your heart. No, not through sentences but through resonance. The way your heart remembers.
Flower essences work in this subtle, beautiful space. They are like an old familiar friend leaning in to whisper “you are safe, you are seen, you are loved”
This week, I invite you to notice your own hearts garden. What resides in your heart that possibly nature, the elements and the flowers can help shift for you. Feel the presence of any aspect of nature that speaks to you and allow it to find the places that need a soft embrace. If tears show up…let that energy move. You don’t even need to wrap your mind around the why and where did that come from scenario.
The Power of a Calm Nervous System
It all begins with an idea.
Imagine your body as a masterfully designed stringed instrument. When life is calm, the strings hum in harmony without assistance. However, when stress, grief and endless busyness are in the field, your body instrument, it can feel pulled too tight making every note it plays sharp and jarring.
Your nervous system is 1000% aligned with your body as it’s tuning fork. It remembers safety, rest and balance - but it can also forget if lifestyle choices keep you stuck in the busyness, emotional distortion and stress for too long..
Flower essences are like gentle hands that come to tune the strings back into harmony. They don’t force the change - they simply invite the body to remember it’s natural rhythm.
When you take a flower essences, you are not just ingesting a physical substance. You’re receiving the vibrational memory of a living blossom - the same memory that lets a plant reach for the sun, open it’s pedals and trust in the unseen forces that sustain life.
This week, give your nervious system a moment to exhale even if it is for only five minutes in the middle of your day. Hold a warm cup of cacao or tea and intentionally take three deep belly breaths in through your nose and slowly exhale through your mouth, Let your body remember what ease and grace feels like.

Walking with Grief as a Teacher - Finding Grace on The Other Side of Anger
It all begins with an idea.
Grief is not an emotion – it is a sacred journey, a teacher and a mirror that reveals the depth of our humanity. It takes us into tender spaces where time slows, asking us to sit with what has been lost and what has been transformed. In its process, grief carries lessons of presence, patience and surrender. It teaches us that healing is not about rushing to “get over it” but about allowing ourselves to walk through it with awareness and compassion. When we honor grief as sacred time, we discover that is holds not only sorrow but also wisdom, resilience and the possibility of renewal.
One of the most challenging places on this path is anger. As Elisabeth-Kubler Ross observed in her work on the states of grief, anger often becomes the stopping point because we are taught to fear it, repress it or turn it against ourselves or others. Little girls are told it isn’t “pretty” to be angry; little boys are warned not to be “bullies”. Yet anger is a natural and necessary part of grief – a sign that love has been disrupted and that something sacred within us demands expression. The key is not to deny or bypass it but to move through it consciously, allowing it to be constructive rather than destructive. When anger is met with awareness, it becomes a doorway rather than a barrier.
On the other side of that doorway is profound acceptance, forgiveness and empowerment. Moving through grief with grace and consciousness reveals an inner strength we may not have known we possessed. What begins as pain becomes a passageway into deeper compassion for ourselves and others who walk this universal path of loss. In facing grief fully, we allow every stage of the process its voice, including anger and by doing so, we do not become diminished. We become expanded, empowered and more whole. Grief then is not the end of love but its alchemy, shaping us into beings who can hold both loss and light with open hearts.
Se amor – be love!
