July 2024: Bringing the Heat

Hi, Happy July!
I hope this finds you well as we begin our first full month of Summer here in the Northern Hemisphere. This season is already off to a hot start and I hope that wherever you are, you’ve been able to stay cool through these heat waves. The energies and messages that have been showing up for July have been really interesting. In some ways the energies are similar to the bright, warm, and long summer days of July’s past while others are a bit different. Maybe you’re receiving these same messages, insights, and feelings about our new month too. I want to share with you the messages that I’ve been getting and some ways that we can move through this big bright energy together.

Grab a tall cold glass of water, iced tea, or anything that feels refreshing for you and let’s take a look at what’s happening this month. There are 2 big themes that are showing up for us this month. They are equally palpable and equally bright in the way they look and feel. If you can imagine two lanes on a freeway (I know freeways have more than 2 lanes but just imagine that there are two.) You can drive on either of these lanes because they are both on your side of the freeway. They are the same size and look equal in every way. One lane is all about fun, laughter, long summer days, long summer nights, playing outside, and carefree summer energies. The other lane is all about making a list and checking it twice. (Sorry for the Christmas in July reference but that is what’s coming through.) There’s a strong theme around taking stock of what you have on hand that may need to be spruced up a bit. For example, if you need to add some things to your pantry staples or have some more water on hand, there’s a strong message about taking action on those things. There’s also a strong theme about clearing clutter, fixing or replacing items that need to be tended to, and getting things on your to do list marked off and finished. This checks and balances calling is very clear in its message to go through our homes, properties, and even closets with a fine tooth comb to get a clear image of what needs to be done and then to take action on ticking it off the list. We’re being guided to do this to the best of our ability. Focus on making that list and move through it as you’re able, start with the things that feel fun or easy. Some things may require the help from a professional or a friend and reaching out for that help when needed will also help you to move forward on your list.

These 2 big themes feel like opposites and one of them definitely isn’t representative of a traditional summer message. However, what I see is that these 2 themes compliment one another beautifully and are being brought through as a support system for us. Imagine yourself driving in the checks and balances lane for a while, you notice that you’re making a lot of progress and getting things checked off your list; you’re feeling good but also ready for a little break. So, you decide to change lanes into the classic relaxing, fun, and playful summer energy. Maybe you feel guided to take a day trip or host a garden party, or ride your bike all over town, or spend the day splashing in the creek or pool. This lane provides you with the relaxing energy that helps you to feel restored and ready to change lanes again and get back to the list you’ve made. It’s this ebb and flow that’s happening and when you think about summer, that is a very traditional + powerful theme that shows up for us. We’re being guided to stay in the flow of play and fun while also getting our house is order so to speak. You get to decide how long you drive in each lane. You’ll know when you’re being divinely guided to switch to the other lane, you’ll know it and you’ll be able to feel it. The pull to switch lanes will be palpable.

If you’re wondering why this 2 part theme is showing up for us this month, I see that it’s supporting us in streamlining things in our lives. I see that simplifying, lightening our load, and having things organized and in working order is going to set us up for success as we continue to move through these next months. It’s one of those things where you’ll look back at this month and say, “way to go past me, you’re awesome!”

As you’re moving through your freeway, you may notice that there’s a 3rd lane up ahead. This lane represents continuing to learn and practice new skills. The skills, hobbies, and even things you’ve been wanting to try your hand at are here in this 3rd lane. It’s really a combination of learning, taking action, and having fun. Please feel free to drive in this lane when it shows up for you this month too. It’s also a supportive stream and will lead to forward motion while also having fun strengthening your new skill sets, a win-win for sure.

Overall, each of these lanes allows us to move through the ebbs and flows of the energies happening this month. By changing lanes when guided throughout July we get to make the most out of the month while also having fun, slowing down, and gaining momentum on our lists. I encourage you to enjoy each of the lanes as you’re in them, lean into them fully and then change lanes and enjoy the other energies fully too.

I’m wishing you a wonderful month, one filled with fun, joy, rest, rejuvenation, and forward motion on all the things that you’re working on throughout July!
If you’d like me to take a look at the personal themes showing up for you this month, I would love to work with you. Or if you feel guided to schedule a session for another topic entirely, I would love to support you in any way that I can!

As always, I’m sending you so much support and love from my teeny tiny corner of the world straight to you!
With love and gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo

P.S. Please remember to drink a little bit more water than usual; it’s so hot out there and it’s important for you to stay healthy and hydrated. 😊
A very Happy 4th of July to you and yours if you’re celebrating!

A Time for Rest

I’ve been thinking about you and wanted to check in with you and see how you’re doing. We’ve made it to July which feels like such a huge marker and a perfect time to do a little house keeping.

One of the biggest themes that’s been showing up lately has been about creating and carving out time for genuine rest.

Maybe you’ve been getting this message too.

It’s been a pretty loud message for a while but seems to have increased exponentially lately. This message can show up in lots of different ways, usually showing up for us in the ways that resonate for us on an individual level. Maybe some or all of the messages below will resonate for you right now.

Maybe you feel like you’ve been burning the candle at both ends for so long you don’t know how long you’ve been needing a real and genuine rest.

Maybe you feel like most or many of your days are repeating over and over again and you’re marking them by the different clothes you’re wearing each day but for the most part you’re just getting up and getting it done and then going to sleep and doing it all again the next day.
(Trust me, you’re not alone in experiencing this, I’m feeling it and so many people I talk to are feeling it too.)

Maybe you’re just feeling like you need a break and want to have some fun and feel or see a different environment or place after so many months of staying home.

Maybe you’re feeling exhausted but can’t quite put your finger on why that might be because you’re getting the exact right number of hours of sleep per night, you drink the exact right amount of water, you’re doing all the things, and still feel a bit off.

Maybe you’re just feeling a bit burned out.
No matter how this experience or message is showing up for you, please know that you’re not alone and you’re not imagining this. This isn’t a message about needing to push harder or try to do more to move past the hurdles you’re experiencing as exhaustion.

You may be experiencing some residual stress and lethargy from managing all the things you’ve been dealing with for so long as we’ve all moved through this intense time and are still moving through it in different ways each day.

There’s an incremental experience that happens when moving through a prolonged intensity and eventually the body, soul, and mind get to a place where they all collectively say, I need some rest and relaxation.
If you’re finding yourself in this space right now, welcome; you’re in really good company.

This month is often a time when we think about relaxing, restoring, and rejuvenating as it’s often a time when people have more flexibility in their schedules and may even plan holidays and vacations.
Maybe this is traditionally a time that you look forward to getting away and letting go for a while.

Depending on where you live and what’s happening right now, you may or may not be able to plan to do something for a little get away. This in and of itself can lead to more feelings of overwhelm and frustration about another fun experience being postponed or adjusted.

However, no matter what your situation may be, the need for genuine rest is real.

It’s such a strong message right now, that people are finding that if they try to push past this, they are being given opportunities to experience forced rest. (This isn’t fun and often shows up as feeling under the weather.)

So, the theme right now is about finding ways to carve out time for genuine rest, and you can do that even if you’re participating in a staycation again this year.
Focus on the things that make you feel:

• Happy

• Joyful

• Uplifted

• Relaxed

• At Ease

• Rested

• Comforted

• Supported

• Nurtured

• And ___________________________________

Give yourself permission to lean into activities and situations that fulfill you from the inside out. When we invest in things we love, even in seemingly small doses, we bank energy, enthusiasm, life satisfaction, and we tend to feel more like ourselves too.

Doing things that resonate for us on a soul level helps us to experience more joy, happiness, and a better quality of life. These kinds of investments are worth while in so many ways. When we take time to do these things, even in little pockets throughout the day, we begin to refill our own well which allows us to experience more balance and more rest.

Ask yourself:

• What do I feel like I need right now?

• How can I create more joy for myself?

• What would I love to do right now?

• How can I make that happen?

• Is there anything that I could be doing to make this month more fulfilling?

• How can I increase genuine rest in my life right now?

This month, no matter what your schedule may be, please take some time each day to invest in laughter, fun, joy, and anything that resonates for your soul.
(Even if that means taking a nap and watching one of your favorite movies that you’ve seen over and over again.)

This message or theme is a powerful one that is supporting us in getting back into a place of balance or at least helping us to move closer to that place.

As you honor the messages that are showing up for you right now, you’ll find that you feel more like yourself and more at ease as we move forward together.

I’m sending you so much support as you continue to take really good care of yourself right now.

Please know that I’m here for you to offer you support in any ways that resonate for you whether through a Coaching Session, Intuitive Session, or an Energy Treatment.

I’m sending you a huge hug and so much love from my teeny tiny corner of the world right to you.
Love,
Kristy~xoxo

3 Reasons Why Highly Sensitive People Benefit From Energy Treatments

If you’re anything like me, you’re a highly sensitive person who tends to be really good at multi-tasking and getting a lot of things done every single day.

One of the biggest challenges for people who tend to be empathetic, highly sensitive, and introverted is that they tend to take on other people’s emotions, thoughts, feelings and experiences as their own as they go about their day.

When someone is really great at getting a lot of things done, and tends to have a lot of things on their list they’re often exposed to lots of people places and things that can feel intense, overwhelming, and even challenging.

If you think about how a sponge picks up water as it moves across a surface, you can better understand how sensitive people feel at the end of the day. Full, tired, and heavy…

Now, imagine doing that over and over again every day without clearing out that sponge.
Yep, if you’re imagining a sponge you wouldn’t want to use to clean anything, you’re on the right track.

This is what happens to people like yourself who are constantly going, going, going but that often don’t have the time or energy to clear out from everything that’s happening in and around them.
Over time some of the things that can show up for highly sensitive people include but aren’t limited to:

• Exhaustion

• Burn out

• Trouble Sleeping

• Brain Fog

• Low Energy

• Sadness

• Feeling of Heaviness (within and around you)

• Bloating

• Weight Gain

• Lethargy

• Loss of Joy and or Happiness

• Feelings of being separated from Sense of Self

• Feeling like there is not enough time for the things that make you feel like "yourself"

• Feeling compartmentalized within your own life

• Feeling marginalized by the people in your life (Friends, Family, Colleagues)

• Sickness/Dis-ease in the body

Just like that sponge; the body, mind, and spirit need to be cleared on a regular basis so that you can maintain optimum health and wellness.

Below are 3 of the Main Reasons Energy Treatments are a Powerful Way to Support Highly Sensitive People

1. Always Helping Others, But Need Help For Yourself Too:
One of the biggest issues for highly sensitive people is that they’re hard wired to support, help, and intervene in people’s lives.

They often tend to be the “Go To Person” within their world; which leads them to having lots of people who come to them for extra support, guidance, and direct help.
They gladly help the people in their world every day.

However this person feels like they don’t have anyone to help or support them.
Most of the time, this is 100% true.

• Energy Treatments allow the helping person to receive direct help from a professional they trust so they can literally release all the stuff they’ve been carrying around for weeks, months, and in some cases even years.

• Energy treatments move that heaviness out of the body and mental space so that the person feels like themselves again.

• Many times, the person will literally look different when they leave than when they arrived because they let go of so much heaviness. Most people will also feel like they let go of a huge weight and that they feel back to their true self.

2. The Catch 22:
Most highly sensitive people have lots of things that they want to get done in their own lives but don’t have the energy to implement them by the time they’re finished with their day. 

This can contribute to or create a deep sense of sadness, heaviness, and even loneliness.
Highly sensitive people are compelled to honor the ideas, inspiration, and calling of their hearts or inner knowing.

If this calling is placed onto the back burner for too long, challenges come up for these sensitive souls.

• Energy treatments can help to release that feeling of exhaustion and heaviness so there’s more energy and clarity to take guided action toward personal projects and passions.

• This creates a cyclical effect which leads to more joy, happiness, and life satisfaction.

3. Self Care/True Rest:
Because Highly Sensitive People tend to have a lot going on, they often report:

• Burning the candle at both ends

• High levels of stress

• Trouble sleeping

• Problems quieting their brain

• Never finishing everything on their lists

As you can imagine, this can lead to a lot of physical stress in the body as well as self induced pressure.

• Many of these folks report feeling like they are always playing “catch up” and feel bad about themselves because they are always chasing lists which never end.

• This can create a feeling of not being enough which creates more tension and stress.

Energy treatments allow the mind and the body to rest and get quiet so the sensitive person can experience true rest, relaxation, and respite.

• This true rest is what’s needed to help bring all the other pieces together allowing the sensitive person to feel renewed, relaxed, and more like themselves again.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms of being a highly sensitive person, you’re not alone nor are you imagining any of these things. 

Your sensitivity is a gift to everyone but it's important to take good care of yourself so you can live the life that's right for you. 

Please give yourself permission to reach out for some Direct Action for yourself in the form of an Energy Treatment if you're so inclined.

I’m wishing you a gentle day and just sending you a gentle reminder that yes, you’re worth it and you’re deserving of taking care of yourself too.
With love,
Kristy~ xoxo
