on the grounds of Walkerton Tavern
(2392 Mountain Rd., Glen Allen, VA)

The day will be filled with activities, workshops, and live performances. The focus of the event is where creative expression and personal wellness overlap.

I'll be co-leading a performance workshop in the gazebo with @librarian.robert @robert_phanord
at 11:00 a.m. where we will be singing songs, reciting poems, and sharing monologues in between conversations about the beauty and subjectivity of art.

At 1:00 p.m., I'll be leading a workshop focused on what the Akashic Records are and how they can support personal and spiritual development. This will be located under the tent to the right of the sign-in desk.

Park at the Cultural Arts Center and walk over to the Walkerton Tavern grounds for a day aligned with the energy of intentional renewal.

Part 3!

I energetically connected with a DEER!

Here's what she had to say...

In Part 1, she invited us to pick up after ourselves.

In Part 2, she offered an invitation to connect with Mother Gaia's natural rhythms and her beating heart rather than expecting her to perform like a machine.

In Part 3, she shared that animals don't "hate" humans or wish them ill, they simply want to see humanity enter back into "right relationship" and reciprocity with Mother Nature. Animals know there is a give and take and have respect for the ebbs and flows of life.

Part 2

Today I energetically connected with a DEER! Here's what she had to say...

In Part 1, she invited humanity to pick up trash as a gift or thank you to Mother Gaia, nature, and the animals.

In Part 2, the deer demonstrated how rather than attuning to Mother Earth's natural rhythms like the rest of nature, humanity is attempting to get Gaia to perform, present, and exist within contained and constrained parameters. This masculine interpretation of precision and time is limited and not in alignment with her true forms of expression. She is an organic, sentient, soulful being, and not a mechanical device. She must be allowed to breathe, shift, stretch, and expand in honesty rather than out of performance.

Humanity is invited to tune into the natural rhythm of our mother's beating heart as if we are in the womb of creation, instead of asking her to perform and present like a mechanical ticking clock.

Stay tuned for Part 3!

Today I energetically connected with a deer!

She had three messages for humanity. The first was a gentle reminder and an invitation to pick up trash whenever we are out and about as a gift to Mother Gaia, nature, and the animals.

I picked up trash after our interaction.

The next two messages were profound...

I'm baaaaack!

After a very intentional pause, I am finally able to return to energy work and being more present.

The ability to choose this fills me with such deep gratitude.

What are you feeling grateful for today?

Are you resistant to rest and would you like to unlearning that programming?

Many of us carry the limiting beliefs that...
- Rest must be earned
- If you rest, you are lazy
- If you don't get the task accomplished, it won't get done
- Your worth must be earned... and more!

So, how can we reclaim what is inherent to our existence?

1. Add resting to your to-do list. This is especially effective if you are task oriented or neurodivergent and struggle to release into rest.

2. Ask yourself where this belief or programming comes from. Was it learned via your culture? Has this been embodied in your family for generations? Were you steeped in this during your school years? Whatever the source, it can be helpful to note that this likely doesn't come from you and that you may choose to disengage. Journaling this, discussing it with a friend, talking to yourself aloud, or sharing with a therapist may be helpful.

3. Talk to yourself (and your inner child) as if you were speaking to a friend. How would you help a friend feel safe to release into rest? How might you suggest taking a pause to someone who is struggling? How may you validate someone's stress while inviting them to shift into relaxation?

More tips and tricks to come! Let me know in the comments what works for you!

Learn this anti-anxiety technique in 3 easy steps!

Nervous system regulation is an essential tool that we all need in our back pocket.

If you're feeling anxious, this "tippity tap technique" is a subtle way to speak directly to your subconscious mind through your subtle body.

It welcomes centered breath into the body, meets at the center meridian line, activates the left and right hemispheres of the brain, and brings acupuncture points into cohesion before speaking to your subconscious mind.

Are you struggling to release or forgive someone who hurt or harmed you, causing trauma in your life?

Instead of focusing on the weight of that pain or the person who hurt you (and whether or not they deserve forgiveness), turn your attention inwards to heal your inner child, identify and release limiting beliefs, and to balance your nervous system, first.

Often times, our subconscious mind or inner child will create a belief, after being hurt, in an effort to keep themselves safe from being hurt again. Although this comes from a place of love and self preservation, it can also come with fears of having let, allowed, or perhaps even deserved the pain. This can snowball into feelings of unworthiness, of being unlovable, or undeserving.

You'll know when you're ready to release the weight of the other person's actions, in the meantime, focus on loving, accepting, and maybe even forgiving yourself. This is not because you did something wrong, it is because you may have created a fear or belief that you did. Practicing forgiveness and / or acceptance of the self is the release valve that often leads to healing.

Keep in mind how you did the best you could with what you had and breathe deeply through any intense emotions that come up. EFT Tapping, journaling, breathing exercises, imagining hugging your inner child, and talking with a therapist or trusted friend can help immensely.

If you've ever felt like a black sheep, it's possible you are a "generational pattern shifter."

These individuals are often intentionally brought into family lines to identify and experience the toxicity and weight of trauma before transmuting, healing, and releasing it.

This not only heals the individual, but ripples out into the world around them while simultaneously healing backwards and forwards in their family line.

If this sounds like you, thank you for the work that you do!

When you live authentically as yourself without guilt or shame, you are giving permission to others to do the same.

If you're looking for support, therapy, breathwork, forgiveness meditations, and journaling can be incredibly helpful.

Imagine electing to portray a character in order to build characteristics, learn lessons, and further develop your strengths, while getting to explore the world around you.

This framework can help make reincarnation approachable for those who are new to the concept.

After a brief hiatus, we're back!

Check-out the newest episode of This Mindful Muse, A Podcast at:

https://youtu.be/Je1fY1I2PLU?si=KcYWYBd1ERp3xIeo

In this episode, podcast host, Irene Kuykendall, shares a little about her spiritual background before diving into the concept of reincarnation from the actor’s perspective. As an actor, director, and theatre educator, Irene draws from her experience in the world of theatre as a framing device for exploring the concept of reincarnation.

Whether you were introduced to reincarnation through religious teachings or cultural expression, or if the idea is completely new and foreign for you, this is an invitation to consider the concept for a deeper understanding and potential integration if that is in alignment for you.

As always, take what serves you on your unique spiritual healing journey and chuck the rest.
