Hi loves,
I hope the start to the Lunar new year has been illuminating so far. It is now the year of the yin wood snake, which signifies flexibility, grace, and discernment. I have been feeling the shift, in my own little hibernation world. I’ve felt the call to go inward and hone in on my daily devotional practices, connecting deeper with my body and spiritual guides. I’ve been moved profoundly by new levels of contemplation of my Gene Keys, which is an exploration of our Sun & Earth placements in Human Design. Each placement’s frequency has a unique shadow, gift, and Siddhi — a divine pure expression of light that our soul incarnated to emanate into the web of life.
When we connect intentionally to the resonance of our heart and original soul essence, we open ourselves up to a realm of beauty beyond words. I’m continually reminded of how much can change in just a few days when we truly give ourselves time and space to listen, to soften into our bodies, unwind the tension, and allow ourselves to surrender to the flow of our natural energy and intuition.
Have you been feeling the call to embody more love?
We experienced a powerful new moon in Aquarius that guided us to where we may have gone cold in our relationship to our feelings. You may have felt a big shift in your thinking, being, and movement through your day to day life over the last few weeks. Personally, I was confronted with my habit of neglecting my body’s needs when I need extra care the most. It was an invitation for me to step into higher devotion to my body through daily extended sessions of stretching, somatic movement, yoga, meditation, and Reiki breathing techniques. This new moon energy guided me to see where I must allow for more listening to my feelings and intuitive body cues.
We have an empowering full moon in Leo on February 12 which will illuminate our patterns and behaviors that are alchemizing, whether we feel ready to change or not. A full moon in Leo shows us where we must allow more love to shine through our soul’s infinite light into our daily lives in order to be in harmonic alignment.
In the midst of winter, we have the space and opportunity reflect on the shifts happening in our lives, in honesty. We are starting to see ourselves clearly and our intuition is becoming increasingly important to trust and honor. It is time we practice full trust in our inner knowing.
It’s time for us to devote to deeply listening. Listening to our body. Tuning in to our emotions and allowing ourselves to feel. Honoring the messages we hear from our intuition, our inner compass that guides us to our soul purpose and true radiance.
The art of deep listening can also be an incredible journey to embark on. Listening with our entire bodies, open hearts, curious minds, and a welcoming spirit. Music, nature, the body, all offer us an opportunity to truly listen, feel, and soften into the moment and be present with what is. I encourage you to create a deep listening playlist for unwinding the body and connecting with your original essence.
Reflections for this full moon energy…
What am I leaving behind, and what am I taking with me? (I like to make an in and out list for this one)
What are the habits, practices, routines that truly serve me on a holistic level?
How will I practically implement them?
Where can I create more space for deep vibrational health in my life?
Where can I be more flexible, adaptable, like the yin wood snake?
When we truly listen to our intuition and honor our eternal light, we allow more of our soul to incarnate into our body. We become whole, unfragmented, illuminated by the light of our eternal being. This is healing. As we remember our wholeness and our collective interconnectedness, we heal. Healing is remembering that we are all sparks of the divine. Healing occurs in the moments where we remember our divinity. Healing and awakening can happen in any instance where we remember the beauty and interconnectedness of all life.
We are being supported by the universe to step into our healing process with devotion to our highest soul truth. For the last two years, we have been on the Aries Libra axis, which has been intense with practical life changes regarding career, social connections, and our place in the world. We’ve been working on our plans, visions, network, where we want to go, and how we want to get there. We’ve made immense progress and will continue to do so, but in order for us to truly rise to the occasion, we must honor our holistic health on physical, emotional, spiritual, and vibrational levels. We are now moving into the Pisces Virgo axis which will be fertile ground for focusing on our health and healing so we can step fully into our life’s work.
As we enter the Pisces Virgo axis, themes of healing the body, nervous system, subconscious mind, soul level energies, karmic imprints, and emotional patterns will be a focus for us collectively. If you're feeling intuitively guided to soften into the heart and open to healing, whether it be physical, emotional, spiritual, you are right on time and the universe is supporting us in releasing the old story to create space for the new.
It's a time to prioritize our true vitality on all levels and align with our highest vibrational truth, embody our hologenetic life's work, and trust the natural intelligence of our intuition. Honoring our need for physical grounding, connection, community, and nourishment will be vital this year. If you’re curious to try Ki moving practices like yoga, Tai-chi, Qigong, or Reiki, now is an incredible time. If you’re curious to open to your soul wisdom through Human Design, astrology, Gene Keys, and astrocartography, now is the time. Know that we are moving through this time together, and I am open and available for soul guidance and healing. I am here to guide. You are welcome to reach out any time.
Reflections for the next season of life…
What mission does your soul resonate with?
What does your soul want you to know during this time of change?
What does your heart say about all of it?
I’m in the process of expanding into group healing work, both in person in Iceland and virtually for those of you perhaps in other parts of the world. I am so looking forward to connecting collectively on a regular basis in the spirit of our original essence, the spirit of Reiki, and earth connection. There will be Gene Keys and Human Design insights and teachings, Reiki healing meditation, heart led group discussions for soul reflection, and of course herbal integration. I cannot wait to share more! If you have any ideas or suggestions, let me know, I want to make this collective live experience as magical and supportive as possible for all of us. Stay tuned <3
In Human Design intuitive energy readings, we explore the depths of your soul level life path, your true way, and illuminate your natural light. If you’re curious to understand your energetic design and the journey of your soul through this lifetime, Human Design can be a wonderful tool to understand your path, it’s like looking into a spiritual mirror.
In Reiki Tenohira healing sessions we soften into a state of deep relaxation where you become open, receptive, to hearing signs from your soul, listening fully to your intuition in a restful state of pure compassionate awareness. A healing session is a safe space to surrender to your inner knowing and trust your soul wisdom as your body’s natural intelligence has the space to move Ki. A time for designated rest, listening, and healing.
