Curating Special Moments | Making Your Peace A Priority

Hi, I hope this finds you well as we officially welcome December.

I don’t know about you but I feel like time has been moving so quickly over the last several weeks and now here we are greeting the last month of the year. I hope that as you’re reading this, you’re able to take a little time out for yourself to relax, breathe, and take in the messages below that came through for you this month.

As each day grows colder and shorter here in the Northern Hemisphere we naturally feel guided to stay inside, to slow down, and to rest. However, this month tends to be so busy with lots of things to do, people to see, and places to go that it can sometimes feel a bit like a whirlwind. Many times people feel like they missed the holiday season because there were so many things that needed to get done and before they know it, it’s behind them. Maybe you’ve experienced this in the past and now try to make a concerted effort to slow down and take in the season in the ways that are meaningful for you. Sometimes people tell me that they secretly wish they could do _________ during the season but aren’t sure how make a change or do something differently. Shifts and changes are a natural part of life and if you’re being guided to shift something that you have done in the past and add something new or limit some activities this year, please know that you’re being divinely guided.

I’ve often found that highly sensitive people (like yourself) can experience a bit of an energy overload from lots of activities which can lead to feelings of exhaustion and a deep need to recharge your batteries. It can even lead to feelings of anxiousness about how to best prepare for all the get togethers so you feel your best while also keeping your systems in balance. If this resonates for you, you’re not alone. You may want to take a little breath here to help release any tension or tightness that may be showing up around this issue for you. Good. This is completely natural. The great thing is that one of the best ways you can enjoy this festive season while also taking good care of yourself is to be clear about what things or activities are a yes and which one’s aren’t. The great thing about using this technique is that there will be a clear yes and everything else is not a yes. Sometimes challenges come from the “well….maybe I can squeeze one more thing in even though I’m already scheduled pretty tight this week” style of scheduling. This kind of logical override or feeling obligated to make a no into a yes can lead to stress and pressure. When you ask yourself, “Is this a Yes?” You’ll feel, know, and hear it 100%. When something is not a yes, you will also know, it will be very clear for you. This allows you to bypass the “well maybe it can work” situations from the past. If you allow yourself to use this to support you in planning out your activities this season, you’ll find that you get to enjoy even more of the season and will find that your experiences can feel more meaningful and prescient for you.

Sometimes, some of the most magical moments are the ones that seem small, quiet, or simple. You get to decide what moments and memories are meaningful for you and yours. The truth is that the ways that you’re called to celebrate and honor the calling of your heart this season makes every Yes into a significant and special way to mark the season. Maybe you can take a little time today to ask yourself what aspects or activities are important to you so you can get clear on what your month will look and feel like. By taking a little time to find your Yes’s, you may find that you get to enjoy the season in a new way, one that resonates with you and your personal peace. Giving yourself permission to curate the season in the ways that are right for you and yours will be a gift that you and your loved ones will all get to enjoy.

I’m wishing you and yours a very Happy, Healthy, Holiday Season!

As always, I’m sending you love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world straight to you!
With deepest love and gratitude, thank you so much for being here with me~
Love,
Kristy~xoxo

P.S. I would love to hear some of your Yes’s if you feel guided to share them with me.
I’m looking forward to hot chocolate, warm jammies, cozy socks, movies, music, baking, and making some of my favorite holiday dishes this month. I hope to carve out some time for knitting and reading too.

Have You Heard the Call to Go Within?

Happy November, blank~

I hope this finds you well as we officially move into a new month and find ourselves fully experiencing the shifts and changes of the Autumn season here in the Northern Hemisphere.

I feel like so much has happened since we last connected; it seems like each day there is something big happening all over the world not to mention within our own individual lives and communities. I know that as a highly sensitive person it can feel even more intense to keep up with the all the headlines but at the same time feeling guided to help where you can which can create a bit of a push pull dichotomy. So many people that I talk to are experiencing a bit of helpers burn out, maybe you are experiencing this too. You may want to do more, help more, and contribute more but also feel like you need to listen to your body which is asking you to rest and restore. If so, you’re not alone. As sensitive souls this need to balance the strong desire and call to help others while also taking good care of yourself is always happening but you may notice that the call to slow down is getting more and more prescient.

This theme of pulling your energy within is coming through very clearly right now. This guidance to pull your resources back, to get quiet, and to allow yourself to reset is a powerful message that will support you in moving forward this month. I know that may seem like a contradiction in terms, but by going within (to the best of your ability) you’re able to gain clarity about what you’re being guided to focus on and how to move forward when you’re guided to do so. This may include some of the following, or may help you to realize the messages that you’re receiving; this is not a be all end all list.

  • Reducing excess noise so that you can more clearly hear the messages that are coming though for you.

  • Choosing specific times to check in on news stories and updates rather than scrolling throughout the day or listening to podcasts or news programming in the background throughout the day.

  • Supporting your body by increasing your immune system through drinking more water and eating more nutrient dense foods.

  • Reducing or removing foods and beverages that are making you feel tired, sick, or sluggish.

  • Getting outside into nature to move your body and also connect with the natural beauty, plants, and animals all around you.

  • Taking breaks from screen time and physically doing something you enjoy.

  • Creating a space that feels gentle and supportive for you so you can let down and allow your body, mind, and spirit decompress.

  • Listening to gentle music, meditations, or nature sounds to support your nervous system.

  • Using golden or amber colored lightbulbs to help soften the light in your home.

  • Using candles or faux candles to create the gentle flicker and warm lighting in your home.

  • Investing in time to genuinely rest and restore even if that means you aren’t multi-tasking while “resting.” (Investing in rest is worth it’s weight in gold, and yes, you’re worth it.)

  • Allowing yourself to sleep when you feel tired. (to the best of your ability) You may want to go to bed 15 to 20 minutes earlier so that you can get more sleep and better quality sleep.

  • Remove or reduce blue light in your sleeping spaces and avoid working or scrolling while in bed so you associate your sleeping space with sleep and rest.

  • Say yes to more flex time in your schedule even if it means saying no to something else.

  • Allow yourself to release the things, people, and situations which are no longer a fit for you even if they were a fit at one time.

  • Make time to do things that fill you up on a soul level even if only for 10 minutes each day. You can set a timer if it helps you and when the timer goes off you can choose to stop or continue if you feel guided.

  • Ask for and allow yourself to receive help and support when you need it.

By including a few of these in your day to day this month (or something specific to you that showed up as you were reading through this list) you will find that you’re better able to take good care of yourself. You may also find that you gain more clarity, insight, and genuine self care at the same time. You don’t have to spend a lot of time investing in these actions to receive the benefits that come with them. You’ll notice that you’ll feel ready to reach out to help those around you or even those who live far away from you when the time is right. As you pull your energy within, you’ll be able to hear, see, feel, and know the messages and guidance that are coming through for you more easily.

As we continue to move through these intense times, it’s even more important for you to take really good care of yourself so you’ll be ready to offer the support, kindness, and help where you’re divinely guided. I see you. I know that you’re spreading light and support wherever you go, whether to the cashier, a stranger who stops to tell you their whole life story in the produce aisle, a neighbor, delivery person, or someone online who’s struggling. I know that you’re always “on” whether you’re at work or at home because you have a kind word or insight for someone in your inner circle. Maybe you’re also working behind the scenes to help when someone or something is out of place and needs to be corrected. I know that you’re raising your hand for more assignments even when your hands are already full. This is a beautiful gift and helps make other people feel seen, validated, and safe; but please remember that you’re deserving of these same kinds of support. Breathe. Take a moment to let down and know that you’re not alone. It’s important to rest when you’re guided and it’s important to receive help when you’re guided too. You don't have to do everything all by yourself.

We’re about to move into a time of shorter days and longer nights beginning on the 3rd of this month here in the Northern Hemisphere which automatically supports us in slowing down and taking time for rest and relaxation. I hope that you will allow yourself to honor this deep and noble call to take good care of yourself this month. This is also a time when gathering and holiday celebrations begin to increase as well. I hope that you will allow yourself to enjoy the balance of going within and sharing in celebrations with loved ones as the month unfolds. I’m wishing you and yours a very healthy and happy November and Thanksgiving Holiday if you’re celebrating.

As always, I’m sending you love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world straight to you.

With love and gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo

Cool, Calm, and Collected

Hello and welcome to October,

I hope this finds you well as we officially move into a new month and begin to settle into the Autumn season here in the Northern Hemisphere. For some reason, shifting into October, even the very first day feels like such a significant shift for me. Do you notice that shift happening for you today, too? It’s like a little click happens and all of a sudden there’s a palpable awareness that crisp, cooler, cozy weather will be showing up little by little every day this month. Maybe you’ve already started to make way for the new season by changing some things in your home, like pulling out throw blankets, adding soft accent pillows to your sofa or bed, or maybe you’ve already had your first cup of all things pumpkin spice. In any ways that you’re being guided to shift into this season, please give yourself permission to say yes.

While the natural rhythms of each season are always connected to us, there’s something special about moving from one season into the next; we can feel and see the changes happening all around us and it supports us in recognizing the changes happening within us as well. This is a wonderful time to check in with yourself about what changes you’re experiencing and what changes you would like to invest in throughout this new season. You may be experiencing a lot of momentum if you’re still plugging away at updating your systems which was such a powerful theme that was showing up in September. Maybe as you’ve been updating organizational systems, donation, and work flow systems, you’ve found more areas you’re inspired to update and streamline. It’s such a great feeling when you lighten your load and get things into alignment for where you are now so you can move forward with what works best for you and your needs. This energy of fresh starts, new beginnings, and change is a powerful time to continue the projects that you have on your list and to allow yourself to enjoy your spaces as well. As we begin to move into a season where we will be experiencing shorter days and longer nights, we often spend more time indoors and at home. The pull to create a space that feels supportive, comforting, and safe is a strong message that’s showing up right now. (Maybe you’re receiving this message too.)

In fact, this theme of almost hunkering down and creating a space (to the best of our ability) that feels cozy and nurturing has been so strong that it almost feels like it can’t be ignored. Like most things, there’s no one way or right way to do this. There are only the ways that feel right for you right now. Maybe the ways you used to honor this call isn’t the way you feel guided to do it this season. Maybe you’ll feel guided to increase your creature comforts by setting out some favorite candles, or essential oil blends that feel like fall to you. Maybe you’ll be guided to shift the lighting to more gentle or golden lighting so your space feels more calming and restful. Maybe you’ll be guided to get out some activities that you enjoy doing that you have tucked away in closets or boxes. These could include puzzles, art supplies, yarn, needles or hooks, journals, musical instruments, or maybe some physical books that you’ve been meaning to get around to reading. Anything that you enjoy that you haven’t been able to do for whatever reasons, this is a good time to get them down and into places that you can easily see and access. You’ll be amazed at how much you’ll allow yourself to enjoy your interests when they’re easily accessible to you. Maybe the way you mark the seasonal shift and move into the energy of cozy involves baking or cooking something special that you look forward to all year. Maybe you would like to try your hand at making something new or something that you’ve been wanting to try for a long time. All of these are wonderful ways to move into this energy of creating a space that makes you feel comforted and insulated. A place where you’d like to stay awhile and even put your feet up, maybe you have fuzzy socks on too.

When I was receiving this message about what themes are really palpable for this month, I was shown the importance of making this seasonal shift a priority. Not only because it supports us in moving into this new season and organically helps us to experience more balance but because it’s supporting us in creating a small space of peace. With so much happening all around us within our communities, on a national level, and as a global community there’s a lot of intensity, stress, and worry happening. It seems you can find news stories every day and nearly all day no matter what time zone we’re in that contribute to these feelings of stress and overwhelm. As we continue to move through this season, we’ll find this intensity to not only be with us but also to magnify. While this thought can feel unwelcome, on a deep core level I know that many people (especially highly sensitive souls like yourself) can see and feel this truth resonating for them too. It’s important to remember that allowing ourselves to feel our feelings is important and it’s equally important to cultivate a space that can support us in increasing calm, comfort, and care. We’re being guided to invest in this support system for ourselves and our loved ones so that we can carve out a space that feels like a sanctuary inside the storm. You don’t have to do all the things all at once. The process of moving into this new season while also enjoying it can happen a little bit at a time; that’s the magical part of the experience. The big message here is about allowing yourself to honor this calling in the ways that you feel resonate for you. The message is about not putting off this experience for another day when you have more time or when you feel “ready” but rather to make today the right day. Every action you make no matter how seemingly small will lead to a significant shift for you and your home. You are 100% worth the investment of these action steps and it will yield big dividends for you throughout the whole season. Focus on what’s right in front of you, and choose what you can do today to honor the call you’re receiving about this new season.

I hope that you’ll enjoy watching the colors of the changing leaves, the crisp cool morning air, the smell of autumn, and the change in the light all month long. I hope you’ll enjoy finding ways to honor your own personal blend of cool, calm, and collected throughout October. This is a magical month filled with so many shifts and changes and it’s also the unofficial kick off to the holiday season for many people. Lean into the season, lean into the shift, and give yourself permission to say yes to the comfort and calm that your soul wants right now.

As always, I’m sending you so much love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world straight to you.

If you feel guided to work with me this month, I would love to support you during a session.

With love and gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo

September is for...Systems

Hello and welcome to September,

I hope this finds you well as we officially turn the corner on the last few weeks of summer here in the Northern Hemisphere and prepare to welcome a change in the seasons. Even if you live somewhere like me where it’s still in the triple digits, when we move into September and officially enter the “bers” a noticeable shift is upon us. Maybe you’re noticing subtle but significant shifts happening around you already. Shorter days, a tiny crisp bite to the air in the morning, and maybe even a slight change to the colors in the leaves. No matter how much we want to hang onto those long days of summer, the change of seasons is upon us which brings with it lots of other changes too.

Change is a good thing; it helps us to appreciate where we are right now while we prepare for the next phase or season that’s approaching. When I think about September it brings up so many images and memories about back to school, structure, streamlining, schedules, sleep (aka bed time), and systems. Maybe this month brings those things up for you too, even if you’re no longer a student and no longer have students left in the home. These themes are very prominent for all of us across the board no matter what our student status may be. These are universal themes that show up at this time of the year and we are given an opportunity to tune into these messages and take action accordingly.

You may be receiving these messages as well. Sometimes these messages show up as a strong feeling or an experience of being compelled to get things done and to get them going now. Other times you may see things that for whatever reason you finally “notice” need to be attended to and decide to make a priority. For some, it may be a seasonal task that is part of a regular routine and this shift in seasons is an organic time for you to make changes to your systems. No matter how these messages are showing up for you, please know that you’re connecting to the messages and information coming through right now beautifully.

We’re being guided to shift to a space that is more structured, and in many ways, more streamlined than the season we’re gently shifting away from over the next few weeks. This is a really special and dare I say, magical time because we get to experience the ebb and flow of one season finishing its final “show” and handing it off to the next one to follow. In this in between time we get to enjoy the remaining long days of summer while also preparing for autumn. Maybe you’ll feel guided to take stock of what is working well in your home and work life right now and find ways to highlight those aspects going forward. Maybe you’ll feel guided to clear out some things that are no longer needed and let them go. Maybe you’ll feel guided to organize, arrange, and completely change some systems that have served their purpose. Maybe you’ll be guided to increase a skill set you’ve been learning or begin learning something completely new. This fresh start energy is full of potential, excitement, new beginnings, and an opportunity for deep positive change. Perhaps, one of the calls for change that you’re being guided to embrace is the call to rest, restore, and replenish yourself. Maybe you’re being guided to prioritize sleep, boosting your immune system, and saying no to extra demands on your time, energy, and nervous system. Maybe quiet, calm, and peace are a priority for you and your overall wellbeing this season. There are many ways to embrace and honor this time of change and opportunity, and taking care of yourself is not only important but a deep call toward changing old systems that have run their course.

This is also a time when we can get some things done before the end of summer that will support us through the end of the year. Things like getting in that fall garden, especially if you have a late frost date. Adding some more chopped wood to the wood pile if you have a wood burning stove or fireplace. Preserving food in any ways that you enjoy whether that means filling jars, freezer bags, dehydrating, or all of the above so you can dip into them long after the summer is behind us. No matter what guidance you’re receiving about this shift and about September, please let yourself honor your messages to the best of your ability.

Taking 3 to 5 minutes to breathe, meditate, and focus can help you to gain clarity about what you’re being guided to focus on this month. You can also work with Archangel Michael, Archangel Raphael, and Archangel Gabriel to help you understand the messages coming through for you and to increase your motivation to take action. You can journal, work with your guides, or make a list that you can check off as you get things finished to help you increase your momentum. There’s no one way or right way to honor your messages, just the ways that are right for you.

If you’re unsure about what you’re being guided to focus on at this time, I would love to support you in gaining clarity and some actionable steps to support you in capitalizing on this wave of energy this month. If you’d like to focus on something else entirely, I would love to support you during a session as well.

I’m wishing you and yours a wonderful new month and a positive shift into this new season while enjoying the last days of the current season as well. I’d love to hear how you’re marking the end of summer and how you’re going to be honoring your Systems for September.

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

Recalibrating and Realigning: Remaining Calm In the Storm

Hello and Happy May,
I hope this finds you well as we welcome a new month. Are you feeling the need to stop and remember to breathe as often as I am? The energy has been moving and shifting so much since we last connected and I wanted to share some messages of support with you as we move through these big shifts together. If you’ve been feeling like there’s been a combination of life experiences, life lessons, changes, unexpected shifts, energies, and increased sensitivity happening for you; you’re not alone. If you pair these experiences with the information we see on the news, it can be a lot for anyone to take in, especially for a highly sensitive soul like yourself. You may feel like you’ve been taking one step forward and one step back. I want to gently remind you to take a moment and breathe…scan your body for any tension or tightness that may be holding space within you and let it go. Just for this moment, let yourself breathe and release anything that’s holding space within you….good. It’s important to take these small moments throughout the day to breathe and reset. You don’t have to take a lot of time out of your day to do this, but it does help and it’s very important. Even taking one or two minutes a couple times a day can help to clear out stress, tension, and tightness from your body and mind.

Like you, I’m moving through these big shifts too. When I asked for some messages about this, the biggest theme that came through was about pulling our energy inward and focusing on the basics. As we move through our day to day life, our energy is spread out here and there as we do all the things on our lists. You may notice that as you move through your day, you feel your energy dwindle and you may even feel exhausted by late afternoon. Sometimes, this can lead highly sensitive people to feel like they aren’t trying hard enough to get things done or that they don’t measure up to their colleagues and tend to push themselves even harder. This overextending can increase these experiences of feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and tense. By shifting a few things, we can support ourselves in feeling better while also managing the changing energies and big life changes too. (without overextending)

One of the biggest themes that came through about the importance of getting back to basics was about taking good care of our body. You may be receiving this message right now too. This may show up in different ways for different people. Some people may feel guided to start or return to an exercise routine that they used to enjoy. Some people may feel like their body wants to eat and drink gentler foods and beverages. Some people may be guided to increase peace in their lives right now and feel guided to say no to certain invitations or demands on their time. Some people may be receiving guidance about starting or returning to a meditation practice. Some people may be receiving messages about many or all of these things as they are all very prescient right now. Maybe you’re receiving messages about something different but also something that honors your overall wellbeing.

Focusing on taking good care of ourselves so that we can maximize calm, comfort, and focus is the big take away right now. By taking care of the basics, we allow ourselves to move throughout our days in ways that better support and honor our wellbeing which allows us to take better care of the people and callings in our world as well. You can think of the example of being the calm inside the storm. As you honor the messages you’re personally receiving about how to take good care of yourself, you’ll be able to anchor more calm, clarity, and comfort within you and around you. It’s similar to increasing strength or building muscle memory. In the beginning it’s a conscious choice but after a while you’ll find that you’re integrating these positive changes and that the people around you are benefiting from your calm and your focus too.

Sometimes people get nervous about shifting their priorities to taking good care of themselves first as it may not feel natural to them and it may make other people in their lives uncomfortable. This is a real issue and it may feel like an adjustment at first, but taking care of yourself allows you to increase your strength, focus, and ability to do the things that you enjoy without depleting yourself in the process. You may also find that you inspire the people around you to make some changes and to focus on how they can take better care of themselves as well. If there are people who try to discourage you from taking care of yourself, you may want to take a little break from spending time with them if possible. If these people live with you, you may want to reach out for some extra support to help you move through this situation so you can increase healthy boundaries and communication.

Even seemingly small steps lead to big changes when we focus on taking care of ourselves. Investing time in taking care of yourself right now will continue to yield positive results for you going forward. Some of the additional benefits you’ll receive from this process includes but isn’t limited to: increased self confidence, increased self love, and increased self awareness. You may also find that you’re more grounded and focused throughout your day and can more easily move with the changes that are happening. You may also find that you strengthen your ability to hear, see, feel, and know the messages that are showing up for you. Overall, a win-win. No matter where you are right now, you can start by remembering to breathe. Taking a moment to breathe and reset is always beneficial and you can do this practice anywhere and at any time. With the changing world we’re living in right now, focusing on the basics is a powerful way to navigate our lives in a healthy way while also being prepared for the changes that are happening all around us.

I would love to support you during a session if you feel guided to work with me.
I’m wishing you and yours a very happy new month and a very Happy Mother’s Day if you’re celebrating this year.

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

Grace | Gratitude | Grit

Happy November!

I hope this finds you well as we begin a new month and officially move into the last couple of months of 2023. This year has been a bumpy one for so many people and as we prepare to start this new month, I wanted to share the messages and themes that I’ve received for November. You may be receiving these messages too because as a highly sensitive soul, you’re aware of the subtle energies and shifts happening around and within you.

In the states, we celebrate Thanksgiving in November and there’s a large focus on the theme of gratitude at this time of year. You don’t need to live in the states to embrace or focus on gratitude in your life, this month or any month. However, this practice can help to shift our focus to a place of reflection on what it is that we’re grateful for and research shows that this practice can reduce stress and increase happiness. These are only a couple of aspects or outcomes that people report when participating in active gratitude activities. I often find that it also increases love and opens the heart chakra for clients. I’ve often found that it can help to clear and open up stagnant or slow energy as well and help to get energy, inspiration, and even creativity moving for people. There are lots of ways to participate in a gratitude practice and there are videos, blog posts, and entire books devoted to the topic. However, what I know for sure is that there are no right ways to do this; there are the ways that work best for you,  your schedule, and personal style. If you feel guided to participate in a gratitude activity throughout the month of November, this is a wonderful day or week to start. You may want to document how you’re feeling on day 1 of your process including stress levels, health, and overall well being so you can reflect back on that at the end of the month to see all the takeaways that you personally receive from the process.

You may be thinking that gratitude seems like a very prescient theme for this time of year and may wonder how it stands out as a specific message for the month. The big themes that have shown up for this month include a deep focus on taking care of the nervous system, immune system, and our inner personal strength or constitution. When we look at these themes, one of the biggest aspects that ties all of them together is stress or stressors. I know, not a very flowery or fun topic. However, this has been the strongest theme for us as we move into this month.

The nervous system is the first line of defense for us as we go about our daily lives and when we are overly stressed we can experience an overwhelm or even an overload on our system. This can create a lot of different experiences for people including but not limited to exhaustion, fatigue, lethargy, and feeling as if you have limited bandwidth for stress. This experience can have an impact on your immune system as well and can lead to feeling off or unwell or even experiencing a lot of the cycles of sniffles and yuck. Both of these can impact your personal strength or constitution by making you feel like you don’t have enough get up and go to get things done. This can lead to feelings of self doubt, worry, or even passing on positive experiences or opportunities.

The good news here is that each of these aspects work together, hand in hand as a team. As we pour into and take care of one of these aspects, we automatically help to support the other aspects at the same time. As we invest in these areas this month, even in seemingly small ways, we’re more easily able to move through the energy, news, and day to day experiences that are happening within and around us. When we look at the overall message, we can see that it’s about taking good care of ourselves.

Another word for Grace is Kindness.
Another word for Gratitude is Appreciation.
Another word for Grit is Determination

  • When you see and feel the impact of these words, and think about how to apply them to yourself, what kinds of images, thoughts, or feelings show up for you?

  • When you think about ways that you could support and honor your own systems and personal well being, what things show up for you right away? Why?

  • Which of these three words do you feel you’re being guided to focus on the most right now? Grace, Gratitude, or Grit? Why?

  • Which of the three words feels the most challenging for you to honor or pour into for yourself?

  • How can you find ways to increase this aspect in your life even in seemingly small ways?

Hopefully by answering these questions, you’ll be able to better understand the areas or themes that are especially prescient for you right now. Like most things, you may find that you share common interests with people in your circle about how to honor these aspects of your life. However, you may have a different style than some of the people in your circle too. This is about finding the ways that work for you because these will be things that resonate with you and your lifestyle and allow you to continue to practice them in your daily life.
I’ve included some items below that can help to support these themes of Grace, Gratitude, and Grit while we work to honor our systems this month. Please remember this is not a be all end all list in any way. This is just a small list to help inspire you to create a practice or system that is right for you.

Grace | Kindness

  • Using positive words to describe yourself to others and to yourself

  • Making space for rest and relaxation even if for only 15-20 minutes each day

  • Treating yourself the way you treat others

  • Watching a favorite movie or show that you love, just because.

  • Reading for pleasure

  • Listening to or playing music

  • Enjoying a creative project

  • Taking a nap or going to sleep early if you feel tired

  • Using the fancy dishes, table linens, or candles that you always save for someone special. (You’re someone special)

  • Make a meal or a special dessert that you really love just for the fun of it.

  • Ask for help when you need it and allow someone to help you when it’s offered.

  • Drink more water

  • Eat nutrient dense foods

  • Add broths, ferments, and other nourishing foods to your meal plan

  • Take vitamins and minerals

  • Learn a new skill or hobby that you’ve been wanting to try

  • Laugh out loud, for real, watch or listen to things that make you laugh

  • Play and have fun

Gratitude | Appreciation

  • Participate in a gratitude practice (in any way that resonates for you)

  • Get outside into nature to see and take in the beauty and changes that are happening all around you.

  • Walk or participate in gentle movement or exercise. Taking care of the body is a deep appreciation practice.

  • Practice something that you love and is intrinsically part
    of who you are

  • Tell someone in your life what they mean to you

  • Read through old letters or look through old pictures of people and places that have deeply impacted your life.

  • Ask someone you trust (or as many people as you feel guided to include) to share 3 aspects about you or 3 words to describe you to help you better understand and appreciate your impact on the people in your world.

  • Focus on increasing the aspects of your life that bring you joy, happiness, glee, and overall peace. (Only you know what these are and any increase in them in any amount counts as an increase.)

Grit | Determination

  • Focusing on one step at a time

  • Having a clear focus on what you’re working toward and continuing to make concerted effort toward that goal.

  • Reaching out for support from people in the area of your focus

  • Saying no to demands on your time and energy if it’s draining you or creating extra strain and stress.

  • Saying yes to positive opportunities and experiences.

  • Celebrating small and big wins

  • Saying yes to support and love from people in your inner circle and even from your outer circle

  • Knowing when to take a break and when to begin again.

  • Resting when you’re guided so you have the energy to cultivate momentum again when you’re ready.

  • Taking inventory of how far you’ve come as a reminder that everything you’ve been through in the past is proof that you’ve gotten to where you are today from determination and taking things one step at a time.

I hope this will inspire and support you as we move through this month, together. Remember, it’s not about how many things you’re doing, it’s about finding the ways that are right for you to honor and support you through this process. It may be 2 or 3 things that you know you’re being guided to do that make you feel great and add value and joy to your life right now. As you pour into any of these aspects, you will automatically support the other aspects as well, cultivating a positive experience for yourself and supporting you as you move through these themes, this month.

As always, I’m sending you love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world straight to you!

If you’re celebrating Thanksgiving this month, I’m wishing you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving.

With love and gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo

Comfort, Care, and Contentment

I hope this finds you well as we begin a brand new month and wind down the last few weeks of summer together, here in the Northern Hemisphere. It feels like last month was especially long, I’m not sure why but it feels like it has been a long time since we connected. I hope that your summer has been good to you and that you’ve enjoyed the long, warm, and slow days of the season. Every time we arrive at September, even though there are still a few weeks before we change seasons, there is a palpable shift that happens. Are you feeling it today, too? There’s almost a feeling of urgency or a sense that it’s time to get things prepared and ready for the change that’s coming. Maybe some of this is connected to the back to school energy happening, maybe some of it is connected to harvests being brought in, and maybe it’s because we can see and feel these small but significant shifts happening letting us know that Autumn is coming. There are some strong themes that we can benefit from at this time which can allow us to harness this energy to get things moving forward in our own lives. I’ve included a few for you below and hope they will offer you support, encouragement, and inspiration for your new month.

You may notice that you feel guided (or almost compelled) to organize, to take an inventory, and to streamline systems and spaces in your home or office. You may have noticed that you’ve been meaning to get around to this but it just didn’t happen during the summer but now all of a sudden you feel ready and want to dig into this project. This is a big part of this theme happening right now. If this is showing up for you, this is a powerful time to lean into that guidance you’re receiving. Because of back to school, you’ll find that there are lots of organizational supplies, systems, and items you may need readily available to you in most big box style stores and often at a reduced price point.

Lightening your load often goes hand in hand with organizing; maybe you feel good about the systems you have in place right now but feel the energy in your home is heavy or weighed down. Sometimes an easy and effective way to lighten the feeling in your home can be to go through closets or storage spaces to see if there are things that can be donated, recycled, or, released. Sometimes, things that we’re no longer using can take up a lot of physical and energetic space in our homes and releasing them can lighten the energy in your space exponentially. You may even notice that your space feels larger, has more breathing room, and physically feels lighter to you and the people living there. Often times, clearing out things that are no longer needed can increase calm, peace, and restfulness in the space as well.

Focusing on comfort and care is also a strong theme that’s showing up right now. You may find yourself thinking about creature comforts that you enjoy during the Autumn season. You may be thinking about the food you want to cook, or cozy clothes you’re looking forward to wearing, the crisp cool air outside, pulling out your favorite blanket, or watching your favorite fall themed movies or shows. (Hello, Gilmore Girls and Harry Potter.) This process of thinking about the things that feel like the new season to you, help you to move into that new season. This process also allows you to start creating a space that feels comforting and nurturing for you. As the days get shorter and the nights get longer, we often spend more time inside. Making your home a place that rises up to greet you while also helping you to feel safe and supported is one of the biggest themes showing up right now. Give yourself permission to have fun with this process. You don’t have to spend a lot of money doing this, in fact you don’t have to spend any money. As you’re going through your storage spaces, I think you’ll find treasures that you want to get out and enjoy for this new season.  If you think about it, organization and lightening your load are also ways to support comfort and care. I think this is one of the most magical aspects of this time of year. It seems like all of the themes coming through, while each with its own unique aspect and gifts are all working together to support us in moving into a season of comfort, care, and contentment.

While these themes are definitely prescient at this time, they seem especially timely for all of us as we see headlines and reports coming in over the last week or so about new regulations and restrictions similar to that of 2020. As a highly sensitive person, I want to encourage you to think about adding some things to your comfort or care systems that offer you ways to decompress from stress, tension, or feelings of overwhelm. You may already have these things in your home. As you’re working on organizing and shifting things around, you may feel guided to have some things you enjoy in arms reach of places you enjoy sitting so you can easily access them when you feel guided. There’s no one way or right way to do this, just the ways that feel right for you and your home. I’ve included a few things below that may be a fit for you, please use this as inspiration for your own list of comfort or care systems.

  • Coloring Books, Crayons, or Markers

  • Physical Books

  • Paint by Number Set

  • Yarn for Knitting, Crochet, or Macrame

  • Music, Playlists, or Musical Instruments

  • Sketchbook

  • Essential Oils

  • House Plants

  • Games

  • Puzzles

  • Journal

  • Exercise Equipment (Includes Yoga mat, weights, hiking boots, etc)

  • Epsom Salt for Salt Baths

  • Cozy Blanket

  • Soft Gentle Clothing

  • Someone to call if you need extra support

I’m wishing you a wonderful new month and a gentle transition from summer into autumn. I hope that you will enjoy riding these waves that are coming through right now to support us as we collectively organize, lighten our load, and focus on comfort and care.

As always, I’m sending you love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world, straight to you!

With love and gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo

Circling Back

Happy August! I hope this finds you well as move into the final full month of Summer here in the Northern Hemisphere. Does it feel like this season has been moving really quickly? It does to me; it feels like before we know it the season is going to be shifting and the summer will be behind us. I hope that your summer has been good to you so far and that you’re enjoying these long sunny days.

In addition to the feeling of the summer moving right along I’ve also noticed a strong theme showing up for me and for other people that I’ve been talking to, maybe you’re noticing it too. The theme of things circling back. Are you finding this theme showing up in your life right now, too? This theme is showing up in all different shapes and sizes. For some people, it may be things that they’ve expected, tasks, projects, or issues that have been shelved for whatever reasons. For others it may be things they haven’t thought about in a long time showing back up for an opportunity for a refresh or a reframe. This theme is also showing up in ways that can feel like a nudge that we may be trying to put off for another day or even telling ourselves that a particular area of our lives is behind us for whatever reasons. This circling back theme is showing up in all different forms and all different levels of intensity. Some of the ways it’s making itself known can feel really fun, exciting, and even very nostalgic while others can show up as opportunities for personal growth, healing, and letting go of things that are finished. Some of these themes contain all of these feelings, experiences, and opportunities all at once. No matter how this theme is showing up for you right now, allowing yourself to notice, honor, and to the best of your ability lean into it can be very supportive for you.

When themes show up in our lives, we’re being given an opportunity to focus our energy on that experience and allow it to support us as we move through the theme for as long as it’s with us. Sometimes this theme is an opportunity for us to get back to a part of ourselves that we’ve been separated from for whatever reason. It can help us to heal and to reconnect to an aspect of ourselves and our lives that we want to nurture and fold back into the fabric of our daily lives. Sometimes the theme helps us to achieve or move through a personal challenge or goal that we’ve been guided to pursue. Sometimes, we’re given an opportunity to fix, finish, or finalize some things we’ve been putting off which allows us to feel a sense of accomplishment, relief, and to enjoy the experience of finishing what was started. While other times the theme helps us to cement into our being that releasing and closing a chapter or making space for healthier and more peaceful people, places, and situations is the right choice.

Sometimes when themes show up, we know how to honor them, we feel called, compelled, or committed to taking action in concert with them. We use the nudge or repeating signs that we’re receiving to help us move through the experience. Other times we may feel confused or unsure why we’re receiving this opportunity to redo or rework through something we thought we were finished with for whatever reason. In this case, you can reach out for support from a trusted support person, or you can journal about it to try to get a better understanding of the situation. If you’re in a place where you aren’t sure if you’re understanding the theme that you’re experiencing, you’re not alone. In this situation, you can ask for clear signs that will help you to know which theme is showing up for you right now. There’s no “right way” to ask for this support, you can say it out loud, you can think it, you can write it in your journal, whatever feels right for you, is the “right” way. Then, you’ll start to notice signs in your life about your theme. You may start to see physical signs out in the world about your theme, you may overhear conversations that apply to your theme, you may find books or perhaps a dear friend will send you a book that supports your theme. Songs on the radio, movies, magazine articles, it will feel like all things are pointing to the same themes, and the theme is about helping you to know what you’re being called to circle back to in your life.

When you realize what your theme or themes are, you can begin to move through them in the ways that feel like a fit for you. Sometimes, we can move through these opportunities for growth by ourselves but most of the time, we need support from other people. Giving yourself permission to ask for help when you’re guided will help you move through these themes more gently. Telling people that you know and trust that you’re working on something that’s important to you and letting them know how they can support you can be very powerful for both of you. Sometimes, you may need someone to listen to what you’re experiencing. Maybe you’ll need help physically moving something or another set of eyes looking at what you’re working on to offer you suggestions, insight, or support. Sometimes, you may want to talk to a professional in the area of your theme. Any ways that you feel guided to reach out for support will be helpful for you as you move through your personal circling back experience.

When we take some time to honor, accept, and work through our themes to the best of our ability, we’re able to make space in our lives for healing, joy, and opportunities we may not have realized were available to us. We add more light into our lives by doing this work while lightening our load at the same time. I look forward to supporting you in any way that I can as you work through this time. You’re not alone, we’re all working through this circling back process together.

As always, I’m sending you love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world straight to you!

With love and gratitude,

Cool, Calm, and Collected

Hello, I hope this finds you well as we move into May.

One of the biggest themes that has been coming through lately has been about finding ways to reduce stress and increase calm and gentility. Have you been noticing this theme showing up in your day to day life too? If so, you’re not alone; you’re not imagining it, and it’s not just you. This is a theme that I’m finding across the board for people, even people who traditionally have been able to consistently manage their stress levels. Stress has in many ways become a buzz word in our modern culture and can sometimes be used as a catch all for many life scenarios that we may be experiencing. However, that being said, I am finding this increase in stress to be a prescient theme right now and wanted to share some ways that you can reduce your stress as we move through this theme together.

As a highly sensitive person, sometimes an increase in stress, tension, or feelings of overwhelm can feel magnified. When you use techniques to support an increase of calm and comfort as a highly sensitive person, you can experience those results more quickly and on a deep or palpable level. As you integrate practices that you enjoy on a consistent basis, you’ll find that you’re more easily able to move through times of increased stress while also maintaining a level of peace, happiness, and calm. You’ll also notice that you feel more like yourself and that you’re able to find and maintain your balance. Does that mean that you won’t have some days that are tough? No, however it will allow you to move through those bumpy days a little bit easier while also increasing your good days.

One of the biggest things to remember here is that there is no one way or right way to do this work. There are only the ways that are right for you and those may change from day to day. Choosing to try a few things that you feel attracted to naturally will be a great place to start so you can find the ways or methods that work best for you. Finding what works best for you is the “right way” for you. Again, you can choose to change things up at any time you choose based on your needs and situation.

Please know this is not a be all end all list, think of this as inspiration and please add to this list with activities that work well for you. If there’s things on this list that are a fit for you great, give them a try and see how you feel. If there are things that aren’t a fit, great, let those go. Please feel free to combine techniques and make them your own. This is meant to be a support system for you so you get to decide how to work with the suggestions below so they best honor you and your life.

  • Sleep
    Quality sleep is important for our overall health and well being. Making time for sleep is imperative especially when you’re experiencing increased stress. If you’re having sleep disturbances, check to make sure you aren’t being exposed to blue light before and during your sleep. Even if you enjoy falling asleep with your device on, it will prevent you from experiencing REM sleep and can interfere with serotonin and melatonin which we need. If you aren’t getting enough sleep at night, you may be guided to nap during the day, and even 30 minutes can make a positive impact. Going to sleep earlier, creating a relaxing space for sleep, and removing technology from your sleeping space can support you in experiencing quality sleep.

  • Movement
    Any movement that you enjoy will allow your body to decompress from the stress that may be holding space within you. Going for a walk, riding your bike, going for a swim or any kind of movement you enjoy will help you reduce and manage your stress levels. Movement also helps your body get into a moving meditation which allows you to receive secondary benefits at the same time.

  • Sunshine
    Getting outside into the sunshine even if you have to bundle up is very important. In addition to vitamin D, full spectrum sunlight helps to produce and regulate melatonin and serotonin which we need. Sunshine also helps us to increase energy, just think about the solar panels supporting the grid. We benefit from solar power too. You don’t need to overexpose yourself to the sun to receive its benefits.

  • Gentle Foods and Beverages
    As the weather begins to warm up you may notice your body naturally gravitating toward lighter foods like salads, soups, smoothies, and juices just to name a few. When we’re experiencing stress, it can be easy to reach for things that can actually make us feel worse like processed foods and snacks. The more you can fuel your body with gentle foods and beverages, the easier it will be for your body to maintain a strong immune system which is taxed when exposed to prolonged stress.

  • Hydration
    You may notice that stress impacts your hydration. If you notice you’re feeling parched, you may want to increase your water intake to help your body stay hydrated. There is no need to increase your hydration to the point of rinsing out your electrolytes. Just pay attention to your body so you find the right amount of water for you each day. If your lips are chapped, your scalp, sinuses, and skin are dry, and/or you feel thirsty, increase your water.

  • Music
    Listening to music can uplift and shift your mood and energy quickly. Listening to music in the background rather than tv or streaming services can help you to feel better while also uplifting the energy in your home while positively impacting the people in your home too. If you are a musician, playing and practicing your instrument/s will support you and your home in multiple ways.

  • Creativity
    Participating in any creative outlet that you enjoy will help you to reduce your stress levels while also nurturing your love and enjoyment for the activity. Creativity also sparks inspiration and moves you into a moving meditation which are powerful secondary benefits. You will also have something to show for your time and you will notice that you feel more relaxed and at ease during and after your creative experience. You don’t have to spend a lot of time investing in creativity to receive the benefits. You may want take a little time to place your tools, projects, or accoutrements into an easily accessible place.

  • Meditation
    Any kind of meditation will support you in reducing stress and increasing calm, clarity, focus, and gentility. Whether you prefer guided meditation, traditional styles of meditation and mindfulness, or moving meditation, you will receive benefits from that practice. If you aren’t sure where to start when it comes to mediation and mindfulness, I recommend guided meditation. You can find free guided meditations on YouTube or you can use things like the calm app. There are a lot of free resources out there for you and you’ll find the right method once you get started.

  • Reading Physical Books
    Physical books will give you a break from screen time and allow you to slow down while also experiencing the tactile quality that comes with reading an actual book. You will also notice your nervous system begin to relax while you enjoy your book.

  • Increasing Quiet Time
    Allowing yourself to be in a quiet state allows your body and mind to rest while simultaneously calming your nervous system. It can also allow issues or themes sitting under the surface to come up so they can clear. In a world of overstimulation this simple act of quiet time is powerful.

  • Cleaning Out Clutter/Cleaning Your Home
    Whether it’s cleaning out your closet, cleaning your floors, or getting to that shred pile; you will feel a lightening of your physical and mental state by attending to your physical space. Stuff out of place has an impact on our environment and our health. If you need help with this, please consider reaching out for help. If you live with other people, ask for their help so you aren’t trying to do everything all by yourself. A peaceful home supports a peaceful life.

  • Avoiding Challenging or Upsetting News Stories
    It’s important to be informed and aware of what’s happening, however being inundated with bad news and negativity isn’t helpful or necessary. Reducing your exposure to upsetting news stories and social media feeds that make you feel drained or upset is important. Set aside a predetermined amount of time for information and then turn it off and move onto something else.

  • Avoiding or Reducing Challenging or Upsetting People/Dynamics
    To the best of your ability, saying no to people and dynamics which are upsetting, hurtful, and draining for you is important. It’s important to guard your time and energy from those who aren’t helpful or supportive for you. It’s okay and often necessary to say no to people and situations that make you feel worse after engaging. Saying no to the best of your ability allows you to say yes to taking good care of yourself and your quality of life.

As you read through this list, you’ll notice that some of the categories can be grouped together for win wins; and in some cases: win, win, win. Yes, those groupings are a great way in increase your calm, comfort, and gentility all at once and yes, they count. For example, if you feel guided to read a physical book, you’ll be simultaneously reducing screen time, and increasing quiet time too. Please give yourself permission to enjoy the combinations that speak to you and make them your own. You don’t have to spend a lot of time doing these things, a little bit goes a long way in supporting your overall stress levels and well being. Carving out 10 minutes a day will have a significant impact on your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well being. Some days you may be able to do more than 10 minutes which is wonderful but start with 10 and notice how you feel. Some of the activities like clearing out clutter or cleaning may take more than 10 minutes but their impact on you and the people who live in your home will be significant and well worth your time and effort.

I hope this will inspire you to know that you’re not alone and you can make simple but significant shifts in your daily life to support you in feeling more peaceful, grounded, and like your true self. I know you can do it, and every step counts. I’m joining you in this process as we move through these intense times together.

If you feel guided to work with me, I’m here for you.
As always, I’m sending you love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world, right to you.

With love and gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo

Cultivating a Soul Salve

Happy April,

I hope this finds you well as we begin a new month and lean into a new season.
I was trying to find a theme to focus on for this newsletter by tuning into the messages I’ve been receiving, the energies that have been showing up lately, and the recurring issues that seems to be really prescient for people right now and nearly everything was pointing to a deep focus on ways to honor, soothe, and comfort the highly sensitive soul (like yourself). So, grab a cup of tea or something soothing and let’s look at ways that you can cultivate a Soul Salve for yourself this month which you can use at any time when you feel like you could benefit from some extra support.

When things get stressful, overwhelming, or intense; whether these things are coming from within your own personal life or on a larger scale outside of your personal life it can have an impact on the nervous system which can create some additional stress responses. As a highly sensitive person, this natural experience can be felt on what seems like a magnified level. While there are so many wonderful things that come with being highly sensitive, the deep feelings and empathy can make stressful situations well, feel more stressful. (I know that you know this all too well as a fellow HSP.) The good news is that there are things that we can do to honor our sensitivity while also helping to soothe and support ourselves even if we’re experiencing big shifts and intense energies.

The great news is that there’s no right way or one way to do this, there are just the ways that are right for you on any given day. This means you can change, shift, and update your support system at any time which removes any pressure to choose something that you’ll use forever. So, take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth…good, letting go of any stress that you may feel holding space in your chest or stomach, good…remembering, this is something that is personal to you and meant to be a support system, and it can also be fun.

I’ve included a little exercise for you below which can help you to pin point a few things that may want to be added to your personal support system right now. You may want to get some paper and something to write with to jot down the things that come through for you. There’s no wrong answers and I promise you that you will receive messages and answers to the questions below. Just relax and breathe and have fun.

Imagine a space that’s just for you, it can be anything that you want it to be.
Maybe it’s a room that’s just yours, an office, a music space, a sunroom, a garden, an open air building at the sea, or something else completely, but it’s just yours. A space all for you.

Inside, fill it with the things that make you feel uplifted, calm, relaxed, soothed, and like you.
The you that feels peaceful, healthy, focused, happy, and __________________.

  • What does your space look like?

  • What does your space feel like?

  • What sounds do you hear in your space?

  • How does your space make you feel?

  • What items do you have in this space?

  • Why does this space feel calming and supportive for you?

  • Is there anything else you would like to add to this space?

  • How can you integrate these things into your daily life now?

  • What one thing can you do right now which will offer you some additional comfort in your daily life, now?

  • Is there anything else that you feel guided to do to support your overall sensitivity at this time?

Taking a few minutes to go through this exercise can help give you some insight into some things that your soul is personally wanting or needing at this time. You can use it as many times as you feel guided. Remember, seemingly small shifts lead to significant results. There’s no need to do all the things all at once, focusing on one or two things that resonate with you can cultivate a deep support system for you.

Some other things that have been coming up for many people lately and they may resonate with you too include, but aren’t limited to:

  • Needing to drink more water

  • Eating gentler foods, feeling guided to eat lighter and or healthier foods

  • Desire to move the body through gentle exercise

  • Participating in a gentle cleanse or fast (gentle being the key word here) This can include reducing refined sugars and alcohol.

  • Increasing full spectrum sunlight

  • Increasing vitamins and minerals

  • Reducing screen time and increasing listening to music or audio books

  • Beginning or revisiting breathwork whether it’s square breathing, yoga, deep breathing, or any kind of conscious breathing to help soothe and calm the nervous system.

  • Revisiting creative outlets to reduce stress and increase calm, this can also include coloring, gardening, and reading books for pleasure.

  • Removing clutter or items that are ready to be donated or recycled.

  • Increasing salt baths, hot tub time, or swimming

  • Focusing on your personal energy and cycles and honoring them to the best of your ability.

  • Rest and Sleep: if your body needs more of these things right now, please try to honor them to the best of your ability.

  • Journaling to help release and reset

  • Deep focus of making your inner circle and your home a place that’s calm, peaceful, and gentle.

I hope this very prescient theme about taking good care of ourselves is something that resonates with you right now. I know that it really resonates with me. As a deeply sensitive soul, sometimes it can be easy to focus on ways to help, support, and soothe others because it’s so natural for you. Sometimes, during this process, it can be easy to forget to do the same kindness for yourself. Please let this be a gentle and loving reminder that you are worthy of support and care too. I see you. I see you taking care of all the people you love in your world. It’s important to give yourself some grace, love, and care too. This month, please give yourself permission to cultivate your own soul salve in the ways that speak to you.

I’m sending you so much love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world right to you!

With all my love and gratitude,

Kristy~xoxo

I’ve included a special for you below that will last through Monday the 4th ending at 5pm pacific time. You can schedule your session for any day you choose. (one per person, please.)

When things get stressful, overwhelming, or intense; whether these things are coming from within your own personal life or on a larger scale outside of your personal life it can have an impact on the nervous system which can create some additional stress responses. As a highly sensitive person, this natural experience can be felt on what seems like a magnified level. While there are so many wonderful things that come with being highly sensitive, the deep feelings and empathy can make stressful situations well, feel more stressful. (I know that you know this all too well as a fellow HSP.) The good news is that there are things that we can do to honor our sensitivity while also helping to soothe and support ourselves even if we’re experiencing big shifts and intense energies.

The great news is that there’s no right way or one way to do this, there are just the ways that are right for you on any given day. This means you can change, shift, and update your support system at any time which removes any pressure to choose something that you’ll use forever. So, take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth…good, letting go of any stress that you may feel holding space in your chest or stomach, good…remembering, this is something that is personal to you and meant to be a support system, and it can also be fun.

I’ve included a little exercise for you below which can help you to pin point a few things that may want to be added to your personal support system right now. You may want to get some paper and something to write with to jot down the things that come through for you. There’s no wrong answers and I promise you that you will receive messages and answers to the questions below. Just relax and breathe and have fun.

Imagine a space that’s just for you, it can be anything that you want it to be.
Maybe it’s a room that’s just yours, an office, a music space, a sunroom, a garden, an open air building at the sea, or something else completely, but it’s just yours.
A space all for you.
Inside, fill it with the things that make you feel uplifted, calm, relaxed, soothed, and like you.
The you that feels peaceful, healthy, focused, happy, and __________________.

  • What does your space look like?

  • What does your space feel like?

  • What sounds do you hear in your space?

  • How does your space make you feel?

  • What items do you have in this space?

  • Why does this space feel calming and supportive for you?

  • Is there anything else you would like to add to this space?

  • How can you integrate these things into your daily life now?

  • What one thing can you do right now which will offer you some additional comfort in your daily life?

  • Is there anything else that you feel guided to do to support your overall sensitivity at this time?

Taking a few minutes to go through this exercise can help give you some insight into some things that your soul is personally wanting or needing at this time. You can use it as many times as you feel guided. Remember, seemingly small shifts lead to significant results. There’s no need to do all the things all at once, focusing on one or two things that resonate with you can cultivate a deep support system for you.

Some other things that have been coming up for many people lately and they may resonate with you too include, but aren’t limited to:

  • Needing to drink more water

  • Eating gentler foods, feeling guided to eat lighter and or healthier foods

  • Desire to move the body through gentle exercise

  • Participating in a gentle cleanse or fast (gentle being the key word here)
    (This can include reducing refined sugars and alcohol.)

  • Increasing full spectrum sunlight

  • Increasing vitamins and minerals

  • Reducing screen time and increasing listening to music or audio books

  • Beginning or revisiting breathwork whether it’s square breathing, yoga, deep breathing, or any kind of conscious breathing to help soothe and calm the nervous system.

  • Revisiting creative outlets to reduce stress and increase calm, this can also include coloring, gardening, and reading books for pleasure.

  • Removing clutter or items that are ready to be donated or recycled.

  • Increasing salt baths, hot tub time, or swimming

  • Focusing on your personal energy and cycles and honoring them to the best of your ability.

  • Rest and Sleep: if your body needs more of these things right now, please try to honor them to the best of your ability.

  • Journaling to help release and reset

  • Deep focus of making your inner circle and your home a place that’s calm, peaceful, and gentle.

I hope this very prescient theme about taking good care of ourselves is something that resonates with you right now. I know that it really resonates with me. As a deeply sensitive soul, sometimes it can be easy to focus on ways to help, support, and soothe others because it’s so natural for you. Sometimes, during this process, it can be easy to forget to do the same kindness for yourself. Please let this be a gentle and loving reminder that you are worthy of support and care too. I see you. I see you taking care of all the people you love in your world. It’s important to give yourself some grace, love, and care too. This month, please give yourself permission to cultivate your own soul salve in the ways that speak to you.

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

Food for Your Soul

lavender english.jpg

The last couple of weeks a strong message and theme has been showing up for me and I was wondering if you’ve been receiving it too. It’s a message about needing deep genuine true rest, comfort, and care. Not in the sense that I should take a few extra minutes to get up from my desk and stretch between appointments or to make sure that I’m getting outside (when the smoke isn’t too thick), or turning off my screens an hour before I want to sleep at night. The message was about a deep true rest, one that I need to invest in so that I can off load a deep layer of heaviness that is ready to clear. Heaviness from grief over news stories, built up stress, and the day to day intensity of being a highly sensitive person in a not so sensitive world.

Are you receiving this message too?

As a highly sensitive person, (like yourself) it’s imperative that we find ways to take good care of ourselves so that there isn’t a bottoming out of our energy, strength, and sense of joy and life satisfaction. Even if you’ve been doing your daily practice, you may have noticed that there’s something else happening and that you’re in need of something more than your usual recipe of hsp self care.

Please know that if you’re feeling this too, you’re not alone.

Just like you, I have a full schedule of responsibilities and things that need to get done so creating space for a deep rest was an opportunity to stretch my scheduling muscles. Like most things, there’s no one way to honor the divine downloads that you receive. It’s not so much about how you do something, but that you find the ways that are a fit for you and your needs; even if it looks different from someone else.

For me I needed to physically rest my body while also doing something to feed my soul.

I tried to do some things that I really enjoy, so I tried working on an easy knitting project…that didn’t work. I tried to make some fun diy’s that were running low around the house…that didn’t work. I tried to putter around in my garden…that didn’t work.

So, I decided to actually allow myself to lie down and rest and the thing that I did to feed my soul was watch some people I love on youtube cook, bake, and create things. It was really relaxing, soothing, and on a deep level very healing for me. It felt comforting to watch people prepare meals, bake beautiful cakes, preserving food while canning, and making dresses, window boxes, and all kinds of things. This may not seem like a worthwhile investment of my time, but it was exactly what I needed. I could feel that heavy layer that was ready to clear lifting off of me while I truly allowed myself to rest and reset.

No multi tasking, just rest.
No list making, just rest.
No planning, just rest.

Our body and soul knows what we need, but a lot of times we try to work around this wisdom for a variety of reasons. If we can make space, even a small segment of space to honor the messages we’re receiving, we can shift more easily. Maybe the message you’re receiving about rest and feeding your soul will look completely different from my message; the only thing that matters is that you listen to the messages that you’re receiving so you can take good care of yourself right now.

Maybe you’re being guided to:

  • Increase more laughter, so watching something that makes you literally laugh out loud will be on the menu for you.

  • Increase music in your home whether you play it yourself, or by listening to music, or having it on in the background instead of television.

  • Change the foods or beverages you’re eating to something gentler to give your body a rest so it can more easily digest and help increase your energy.

  • Let go of something that has run its course allowing your life to become a little more gentle, calm, and comforting.

  • Read for pleasure, even if that means reading a book you’ve read before, just for fun.

  • Or ________________________________.

You know what kind or rest and care you’re needing right now, please give yourself permission to honor your wisdom.

If you find yourself wondering, “Is this it?”

Take a deep breath, in through your nose, and out through your mouth and then ask yourself,

“What kind of rest and soul support do I need right now?”

Then pay attention to any feelings, ideas or memories, words or sounds, images, tastes and smells you receive. These are messages for you about your personal recipe of soul soothing support right now.

Honoring the messages that you receive even in seemingly small segments of time is a worthwhile investment and it will yield huge dividends for you.
No matter what your personal recipe of support looks like right now, know that it’s the exact right one for you. Just like in *cooking, you can add a bit of this and that to create the perfect dish that’s right for you.

My wish for you is that you will carve out a little bit of time to honor your messages right now and take good care of yourself. We need you! We need that kind, compassionate, beautiful spark that you bring to this world.

Thank you so much for being here, I truly appreciate you!
If you feel guided to work with me this month, I would love to support you whether through and Intuitive Session, Energy Treatment, or a Coaching Session.

I’m sending you love and deepest gratitude from my teeny tiny corner of the world to you.
Love,
Kristy~ xoxo

A Time for Rest

beach.jpg


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

Reflecting + Retrograding = Reprioritizing

Can you believe it’s officially June and we’re halfway through the year? I don’t know about you, but this year has felt like a wave of repeats in so many ways. Some days feel like they’re happening over and over again while other days and weeks just seem to meld into one another and it feels like I can’t believe another month has passed.

Are you feeling this too?
It’s like we’re collectively and individually getting to experience the malleability of time.

Here we are, halfway through the year, with an equal amount of time ahead of us as the amount of time that is behind us. This is an opportunity to create a marker for ourselves and for the projects or aspects of our lives that we’ve been working through so far in 2021. Maybe you’re like me and really love these kinds of markers because it gives us a chance to do some review, some planning, and some opportunities to see where there’s room for streamlining as well as doubling down on some of the things that are on our list for the year.

If this isn’t really your cup of tea, that’s okay too, even taking a few minutes to think about what your themes for the year have been so far and what kinds of things or aspects you’d like to have more of in the next 6 months (or maybe not so much of) still counts as honoring this 6 month marker. It’s a palpable shift for us no matter which ways we choose to move through this doorway of the year.

In addition to this halfway energy that’s happening for us this month, we’re also moving through Mercury Retrograde right now. Isn’t that perfect timing for a little review of our year so far? During these times we’re often given opportunities to rework, redo, reveal, review, etc. during these retrograde cycles. You can think of the re words that are showing up for you right now; and begin to see some themes that you are personally working through during this retrograde cycle in addition to the things you’re experiencing in your day to day life.

Some of these themes can include but aren’t limited to:

  • Rest

  • Restore

  • Renew

  • Replenish

  • Reset

  • Rejuvenate

  • Relaxation

  • Reinvent

  • Reestablish

  • Regenerate

  • Research

  • Revisit

  • Return

  • Rejoice

  • Revoke

  • Refuse

  • Re____

If you’ve been part of the Chloe Ting sensation over the past year or so, you may actually hear the words and music “rewind time everybody” playing in your head right now when you think about re words and that would be a great example of this energy.

Not only are we being given a chance to review, readjust, and reset our personal plans right now, we’re also experiencing some repeating themes on a larger scale that we’ve all moved through together over the last year and a half too. We’re already seeing severe lockdowns again in the UK, parts of Canada, and there are messages about other locations experiencing similar regulations soon. Even among smaller regions like counties and states there are varying degrees of orders and regulations being implemented at this time.

Some of the things that I’ve seen around this issue include some similar pinches in availability of products and goods that we’ve seen in the last 16 months or so. Depending on where you live, you may have been experiencing some grid and communication issues, especially in the last few weeks. I see more of these kinds of things popping up for many places. Again, we see this is a big theme when we move into a Mercury Retrograde time in any year; so it’s a great time to make sure you’re saving your work, backing up, and keeping your devices charged to the best of your ability.

You may feel inclined to pick up a few extra things you may need from the store, or fill up your gas tank in your vehicle, and have some extra water on hand too. I’m a native southern California kid so we always had earthquake kits set up just in case, and this is a good time to set up some things that you may need or that seem to be running low just in case there’s a pinch in the supply chains.

This is also a good time to do some clearing up around your home and property especially if you live in a state that has fire issues when the weather heats up; and to have things on hand if there are repeats with the grid powering down during the fire season.

As you can see, this is a big moment we’re moving through right now and as a highly sensitive person, I know you’re feeling this big energy too. Please remember that as we continue to move through this time, it’s really important to make sure you’re taking good care of yourself and that you’re building in some quiet recharge time for yourself so you can come back into balance throughout the day. You don’t have to spend a lot of time doing this, and there’s no one way or right way, just the ways that are right for you on any particular day.

It isn’t so much about what you do to honor your needs as a gentle soul but that you do something each day, even if only for a few minutes here and a few minutes there. All of the investments you make to honor your needs and the messages you’re receiving about taking good care of yourself, add up to big positive shifts for you and the way you feel. Yes, you’re worth it!

I’m so looking forward to working with you this month whether you schedule a reading, energy treatment, or coaching session.

I’m wishing you a very gentle and restorative Mercury Retrograde cycle and a wonderful month.

I’m sending you so much love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world right to you!

With love and gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo

Moving Through + Shifting HSP Burn Out | Tools to Traverse the Turning Tides

beach.jpg

I was having a bit of a rough go trying to decide what to write about as we move into this new month. Sometimes it feels like each day and week are so similar to the one before and other times it feels like there’s so much change happening from one day to the next. Are you feeling this way too? One of the things that has really been showing up for me lately has been the repeating theme about Highly Sensitive People (like yourself) experiencing HSP burn out.

I’m definitely feeling it in my own life and I’m finding it showing up for my clients and friends as well. We’re officially nearing the halfway mark of this year and there are still so many places that are under lockdown orders and still experiencing a lot of restrictions to daily life. You may still be moving through some of this too or know people who are.

This in and of itself has definitely taken a toll, not to mention all of the other intensity, changes, and upheaval we’re seeing all over the globe no matter where we live. So many people have told me that they just feel like they are having a hard time finding balance, feeling like themselves, and finding a way to experience some semblance of peace in their day to day life. There’s lots of feelings of overwhelm and not knowing how to help, and also feeling exhausted from all of the information. If you’re experiencing any of this, I want you to know that you’re not alone.

In fact, you’re in really good company.

It’s not just you.

You’re not the only one having a tough time moving through this time on our planet.

It is a really difficult time and we’re all in it together.

As a sensitive soul it can feel magnified, and that’s not because you’re not trying hard enough.

It’s because it’s really hard.

Take a breath, a big one, in through your nose, and out through your mouth….good.

One more time.

Good job.

One of the most effective ways we can move through this time is to take a little time to check in with how we’re doing and make some adjustments to things that we can change. Taking good care of yourself will allow you to better know how to help someone else and to be ready to help too.

I’ve included 6 things that have been showing up as deep support systems for Highly Sensitive Souls during this time. Please use these as inspirations and ways to help you, but adjust accordingly to make these a fit for you and your needs. I hope these will inspire you to create some tools that will be helpful for you and for your loved ones too.

Change the Channel, Change Your Frequency, Literally. :

Intense frequencies can drain your energy and can create or lead to exhaustion without even realizing it. Just think about that one family member or colleague who always tells you all of their problems non stop; you may feel drained after interacting with them, while they feel better after taking all your energy from you. Changing the channel can help to reduce or eliminate this issue for you. Turn off your television, especially repeating news about trauma and other negative stories. (you can always set a time to check in on that information but don’t need it on all the time.)

Re-set the frequencies in your space; think about layering sounds that are pleasing and supportive for your nervous system, body, mind, and spirit. If you have a sound machine, get it out and play it in the background quietly. Your body will automatically respond to it and it will help to release and manage stress that could be holding space within you. You may also want to layer another gentle sound over that to help create an even more soothing space for you and the people in your home.

Think of walking into a spa or another relaxing place; you’ll notice there are often layered sounds happening to help you instantly shift into a resting state instead of being in the fight, flight, freeze, and fawn state that most people experience throughout the day.

Water:

Increase the amount of water that you’re drinking to help you move stress and tension out of your precious and highly sensitive body. Hydration also helps to increase clear thinking, better quality sleep, reduces cravings for foods and beverages which can have an adverse effect on the body, and helps to keep the organs responsible for cleaning and processing moving and working efficiently.

Pull Your Energy Inward:

You may need to let people know that you’re taking a break from being overly available for all the things. Highly sensitive people like yourself often over extend their energy without realizing they’re doing it, leaving them feeling drained and exhausted. You may need to turn off your phone earlier in the evening, allow some calls to go to voicemail, let emails sit in your inbox, and say no to extra demands on your time so you can find your own footing again and experience some personal life balance. Use this extra time to invest in activities that are restorative and uplifting for you. These things can include creative outlets, reading for pleasure, and yes, even resting.

Sweat:

I know, not the most glamorous thing in the world, but very effective in clearing away intense energies and increasing strength. Moving your body in a way that lets you sweat out any toxins, stress, or repeating scenarios/interactions you’re still thinking about will help you to clear your body and your mind while simultaneously leaving you feeling more like yourself. You’ll also be strengthening your body too which is a win win.

No need to jump into intense workout sessions if this isn’t something you’re already doing; going for a walk is a great full body workout that will allow you to sweat, move, and even get outside. If you’re not able to walk outside, pull out that workout mat, and do some gentle stretching or a gentle workout.

Clear Away the Old:

Let go of the things that are finished for you. Clear up any clutter that could be hanging around, it likes to sneak up when you aren’t looking, often in closets, pantry’s, and well meaning desk piles. That “to be done” stuff adds to the frenetic energy within and around you which over time can make things feel heavy and off. It can lead to overwhelm, feeling frustrated, and that no matter where you look, there’s always something else that needs to get done. Set a timer and do a quick sweep of a room, gathering up anything that is ready to go to the recycle bin, donation station, or to its rightful place in your home.

Cleaning out closets and places where clutter builds can help to lighten your load, literally; while also bringing a sense of peace and calm into your space that translates to more peace and calm in your life too.

Ask for Help:

Let people know what you need. This can be a really tough one for sensitive people, because they don’t want to add anything to anyone else’s plate. However, it’s important to let people who love you know what you need and to ask them for help. It’s also important to ask professional people in your circle for support too. If you need a referral for a service that could help you, ask someone you love and trust who they recommend.  

Schedule the sessions that you need to help you, don’t wait for some elusive time where everything will be easier and you have everything figured out and perfectly balanced. You’re here right now, and asking for help and then receiving that help is part of this whole thing we’re doing called life.

I know you’re more comfortable doing the helping, but helpers need to receive help too. Schedule that reading, massage, babysitter, coaching session, hair appointment, energy treatment, or __________.

Whatever it is that you need right now, you know more than anyone what that thing is, please give yourself permission to honor that message you’re receiving. Allowing yourself to receive is one of the most important and powerful ways to help shift you into a space where you feel more like yourself again while also helping your body to come back to balance and homeostasis.

The waves have been rough out there, and the energy has been a bit of a roller coaster but you know what? You’re still here and you’re doing a great job. As you take a little time today, and tomorrow, and the next day to honor your needs and to pull your energy inward, I think you’re going to find you’re feeling more like yourself again.

Please remember to breathe, to go at your own pace, to treat yourself with the same level of kindness, compassion, and love that you so easily give to everyone else in your life, and to grant yourself a little more grace.

You’re not alone. You’re Doing it. You can Keep Doing It.

If you feel guided to reach out for support from me this month, I look forward to working with you and helping you in any way that I can.

I’m sending you so much love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world.

With so much love,
Kristy~xoxo

Refresh. Revitalize. Reprioritize

Typewriter+and+Message+Board.jpg

We made it to a new month, a new season, and a new beginning!

If you live in the Northern Hemisphere like I do, then you’re in the beginnings of the spring season and if you live in the Southern Hemisphere, then it’s all things autumn for you.

No matter where you live, there is a deep message, theme, and undercurrent coming in right now that’s inviting all of us to use this new season as an opportunity to Refresh, Revitalize, and Reprioritize.

You might be receiving this message too and might be feeling like the timing is right for you to take action on some of the things that have been showing up for you. There’s an energy happening about getting things going and gaining traction on ideas, inspiration, and projects that have been on your mind or on the simmer phase so to speak. Get ready to increase the heat, because this is a powerful time to see some of your visions begin to take shape and get going.

  • Maybe you’re feeling a deep desire to clear clutter and organize so you can have a bright and refreshed space that feels more functional and streamlined.

  • Maybe you’re being guided to start a new workout routine or to pull out your walking shoes and make a commitment to getting your steps in again each day.

  • Maybe you’re ready to start looking for a new place to live and you’re taking action to get in contact with the right professionals to support your dream of a new home.

  • Maybe you’re being guided to change your eating habits and feel a gentle cleanse or lighter eating style coming into your life.

  • Maybe you’ve been working on a pivot or shift to your business and you’re feeling ready to implement the changes you’ve been working on behind the scenes.

  • Maybe you’re finally ready to launch your new website or publish your new blog post and put yourself out there to the inter-webs.

  • Or Maybe….

  • You’re ready to __________________________.

Pay attention to the messages you’re receiving right now about making changes and implementing shifts to help your vision gain traction and momentum. Sometimes those messages will show up as ideas, inspiration, images, hearing someone talk about your idea, a gut feeling, or other forms of divine guidance. These messages are there to support you in moving in the direction of your goals.

You may find that part of your message includes reaching out for support from a professional, a mentor, or someone in the field or area that you’re interested in too.

One of the other themes that’s coming through right now is about Reprioritizing the things that are really important to us. There’s almost this positive negative charge thing happening where we’re being given an opportunity to comb through our day to day life and our values to see which ones are creating a positive charge and which ones are creating a negative charge.

Things that may have been lighting up on the positive side a few months ago may not be contributing that same charge anymore, and that’s okay. In fact, this checking in process is very helpful and important in reassessing where you are right now, what’s important, and what’s shifting for you.

If you can take some time to check in with the things in your life to gage the positive and negative charges, you’ll be able to more easily see where your priorities are changing and move in the direction that’s aligned for you right now.

Sometimes, it can help to write these things down so you can see what they look like visually. Or you may find that talking about it out loud helps you to clarify the shifts happening for you; or maybe you know what is taking precedence in your life right now and what has come full circle for you. There’s no one way to do this, there’s only the ways that feel right for you on any particular day.

However, making time for this exercise can be very enlightening and very supportive in gaining a clear understanding of what actions and areas to invest in right now and how to approach and work with this new energy in the ways that are right for you.

Can this kind of shift and reprioritizing bring some big emotions or feelings up for you?

Yes, of course it can and allowing yourself to really feel the cycles and shifts in your life are all part and parcel of this thing we call change.

Feeling the emotions that come up for you is part of the process and a very cathartic part of this process. So, when emotions come up for you, breathe, and to the best of your ability allow yourself to feel how you’re feeling. Of course, reach out for support when you feel guided, as that’s part of this process too.

This time is ripe for forward motion and actually creating some traction on the ideas and projects that you’ve been working on behind the scenes so far this year. If you’ve been feeling the energy building to a shift, then you’ve been feeling this energy building, and now it’s here.

This month, take some time to invest in the things that will allow you to Refresh, Revitalize, and Reprioritize so you’re moving in alignment with the values and inspiration that is important for you right now.

Please know that I’m cheering you on as you continue to lean into the divine guidance you’re receiving and I’m here to support you if you feel you could use some support from me whether it’s an Intuitive Session, Energy Treatment, or a Coaching Session.

With love from my teeny corner of the world to you,
Kristy~xoxo

P.S. I’ve been enjoying this new energy too and have been taking some time to plant my garden, rearrange my home office, read for pleasure, and I’ve been doing a green juice cleanse too. This is one of my favorite times of year where I live because the weather is getting nice, the flowers are waking up and it’s not triple digit heat so I can actually open my windows. (yay) I hope that you’ll enjoy working with this new energy too and I look forward to supporting you and hearing all about how this new energy is moving you forward.

Looking Forward, Looking Back

Happy Anniversary.jpg

Well, we made it to March 2021 which means we’re officially closing in on the 1 year anniversary of the first round of shelter in place orders. Can you believe it’s been a whole year? Some months felt like an entire year on their own while others seemed to move along a little more quickly.

Who knew that March would become a global anniversary for all of us to take a little time to reflect on the past year... #2020. Most people have celebrated their at home birthday, (mine was yesterday) some will have theirs in the next 2 weeks; but overall we’ve experienced a lot of changes in this trip around the sun.

I was thinking about some of the big themes that showed up for me during this time and how I feel about them now, a year into this process. It’s hard to choose just one aspect because so much has changed, yet so much is still very similar. Are you finding that too?

My big themes were:

  • Streamlining

  • Simplicity

  • Surrender

When I was thinking about this, I could see how they all fit nicely under a larger umbrella of letting go but at the same time, they each feel like they had their own moment and focus during different phases of the past year.

Maybe you can see how your personal themes have a common denominator too.

For me, a huge focus was on trying to get things as smooth and simplified as possible and to keep pivoting when and where I needed to so that I could make space for the unexpected. (to the best of my ability.)

I feel like there’s almost a quality about this year that feels similar to wrapping up a school year. As a student you can look back and point to so many specific things that you accomplished, learned, overcame, and the insane hours of the non-stop getting it done-ness that comes from being a student. As adults, it seems like the growth curve tends to look and feel less severe as it did as a student. However, this past year was a lesson in what seemed like near constant growth.

If you find yourself feeling tired or a bit like you’re crawling over the one year anniversary mark, you’re not alone. We’ve been going through it, simultaneously, even if in our own homes with varying degrees and decrees of lock down orders.

I wish that I could give you a gold star, a certificate of achievement, and a huge high five to help mark all that you’ve been through and how well you handled all this constant and unexpected change handed to you.

I was thinking about the opportunity I’ve had to support people who’ve worked with me during this past year and how incredibly people were rising to the occasion in so many aspects of their lives. Often times, when things get tough we just start where we’re standing and then when we get a little reprieve we almost forget how much we’ve done because we just kept going day after day.

Maybe you:

  • Became an expert at zoom

  • Created a home office and officially joined the working from home community

  • Became a Homeschooling professional or a Distance Learning Wiz

  • Became an expert at managing multiple schedules, including your own so everyone had a place to work, study, and have some down time.

  • Became an expert at maximizing small spaces, organizing everything so your space was efficient in setting everyone up for success.

  • Became really good at capturing small but significant windows of time for yourself so you could decompress.

  • Became interested in something new like making sourdough starters, canning, gardening, meal prepping, house plants, or _______________.

  • Became interested in something that you have been meaning to get back to again like playing an instrument, pulling out that sewing machine, or actually writing pages for your book, song, or screenplay.

  • Became more clear about yourself, your needs, and the direction that you want for your life.

  • Became more connected to the real you again. Maybe you could more easily hear that small still voice inside letting you know which things were on your list of values and which things had been moved to your list of letting go.

  • Maybe you’ve fostered deeper relationships with the people in your inner circle.

  • Maybe you’ve become crystal clear about the way you want to feel, and the way you want to move forward now at this one year anniversary.

  • Maybe you can see how this time has shaken loose some of the things that were on their way out and you may not have known it at the time, but now you feel much lighter.

  • Maybe you can see how far you’ve come.

  • Maybe you can see all the progress you’ve made.

  • Maybe you can feel an increased sense of self worth and self reliance.

  • Maybe you can see actual proof in your own life reminding you that you can move toward the things that are calling you. You are stronger than you give yourself credit for and you do have what it takes to make big changes, even when they’re unexpected. Not only did you keep moving forward this past year, but you thrived while taking each step.

I think this is an important moment to stop and reflect on your own personal experiences as well as the overall impact, changes, and shifts that you’ve been a part of for someone else this past year.

None of us arrive at this anniversary alone, we arrive together even if we can only connect via technology, we’re still having this experience together.

Going forward from here, there will be more changes and shifts…more pivots and adjustments. However, it feels like the big stuff is behind us and now we can fine tune depending on where we live and the degrees and decrees of varying lock down orders.

I think two of the most important take-aways from this experience includes remembering to reach out for support when we need it; (yes, that means asking for help.) and letting the people in our lives know that we love them and are here for them even if we don’t live in the same home, community, state, or country.

Save some of that love and support for yourself too. You deserve it and you’re doing a great job!

Happy One Year Anniversary!

With so much love and gratitude, from my teeny corner of the world to you,

Kristy~xoxo

5 Ways to Support Self Care

heart beach flowers (2019_01_30 23_54_58 UTC).jpg

Just dropping a quick note to say hi, and to check in with you and see how you’re doing today.

As we continue to move deeper into this Mercury Retrograde cycle and find ourselves moving closer to Valentine’s Day; I thought I would share some of my favorite + fast ways to support self love and self care.

While these terms may have reached buzz word status for us as a culture, their value and level of importance are still significant and worthwhile investments. I find that overall, these areas tend to be sidelined the most by busy, high functioning, and highly sensitive people…like yourself. There’s always something else that tends to be more important for whatever reasons, which often activates the I’ll get it onto my list for tomorrow scenario.

If this resonates for you, take a breath.

It’s okay.

You’re not alone, in fact you’re in really good company.

However, there are lots of ways you can honor your self care while still caring for the other people, projects, and promises on your lists.

You may have noticed that some big themes surrounding healing, relationships, and old patterns have been coming up for you during this retrograde period. Some of the issues showing up may be about taking good care of yourself, holding boundaries with people who need them, and letting go of the past so that it’s no longer weighing you down.

Maybe the themes showing up for you include focusing on wellness, simplicity, or personal peace.

Maybe it’s ________________________.

No matter what your theme is or how it’s showing up for you right now, this is a beautiful time to take good care of yourself while you move through your messages and divine downloads about how this retrograde is supporting you in releasing what is no longer serving you.

Self Care and Self Love can be quick and seemingly simple while also creating a big impact on the way you feel. Below you’ll find some of my favorites which are great for highly sensitive souls who often find themselves with lots of items on their daily to do lists.

I hope you’ll find this supportive while also inspiring you to create your own personal list of quick go to’s so you can cultivate a pattern of self care for this retrograde and long after.

Calm + Comforted

Think about the 5 Senses: Sight, Sound, Scent, Taste, Touch
There’s a reason places that generally focus on creating a relaxing or supportive atmosphere put a lot of emphasis on these aspects. Our nervous system instantly responds to these areas and moves us from a stress state into a resting state.

You don’t have to spend a lot of time doing this, I promise. (You can do this almost anywhere.)
At home, you can turn on some gentle music, fill your diffuser with your favorite oils, use warm or relaxing lighting, drink something you love out of your favorite mug or glass, and maybe add in your favorite sweatshirt for a bonus. (you check off touch and taste with your favorite mug plus something yummy to drink but a favorite sweatshirt too, yes please.)

Dry Brushing

This helps to calm and soothe the nervous system and supports overall wellness by moving the lymph system. With so much time being spent at home and often sitting in front of a device, dry brushing can help to move the things that the body is trying to release. This is also a great way to gently exfoliate your skin. This is a great treatment to do before you shower or soak in your bath.

Breathe

Consciously practicing some deep breathing or belly breathing throughout the day helps to reduce tension and stress inside your body while also supporting your nervous system and helping to clear your mind. (Win. Win. Win.) Set 5 alarms/reminders on your phone throughout your day. When your breathing reminder chimes; stop and take a deep breath in through your nose, hold it for a count of 3 and then exhale. Repeat this breathing technique 3 times; then you can get back to what you were doing before the reminder. You’ll notice a difference even after 1 day of this self care treatment.

Move

Moving your body, even for 5-7 minutes will help to clear your body of tension and stress, increase oxygen to your brain, and help you to clear the meh energy from being in front of your computer and under too much artificial lighting. You can dance around your house while you blast music, you can stretch, go for a quick walk around the block, walk around your kitchen island if you can’t go outside, or anything else that feels like a fit for you.

Bath Time

Pour yourself the kind of bath you would make for someone else you love. All too often, we don’t take the time to indulge in a healing bath treatment for ourselves but will happily create one for someone we love. There’s no right way to do this, but there are some things that really take a bath from good to fantastic.

Focus on the 5 senses to create your bath treatment; use gentle lighting, get those oils out for a nice comforting aromatherapy experience, maybe use your favorite soap or bubbles you’ve been saving, play some gentle music, grab a little snack and something to drink, and make sure the water temperature is to your liking.

Let the bath completely fill before getting in, you don’t need to rush, you can actually enjoy this experience while also bathing.

Spend at least 20 minutes indulging in your bath, remember no need to rush. You’ll find that you relax pretty quickly during this treatment.

Here are some things that you can add to your bath to customize your experience to honor your needs:

Epsom Salt: Soothe sore muscles

Sea Salt: Help clear away energetic energies weighing you down and also support those who are land locked in connecting with salt water.

Lavender Flowers/Essential Oils: Calming, gentle, and can help with winding down for sleep.

Rose Petals and Other Favorite Fragrant Flowers: Infuse your skin with scent and flower properties.

Citrus Rounds and Herbs: These can add comfort and scent to your skin. Citrus is cooling for the skin so this is a great option when the weather is warm. I love a combination of lemon, lime, and grapefruit paired with rosemary and lavender.

Milks and Honey: These can help to slough off dry skin while polishing or fortifying.

ACV: Helps to detox and alkaline

Green, White, and Dandelion Tea: Helps to detox the body, green and white tea have caffeine in them, so use sparingly if you’re caffeine sensitive or before sleeping.

Chamomile Tea/Flowers: Very calming for the skin and body, can help with winding down for sleeping and helps to calm the nervous system and nervous tummies.

If you aren’t a bath person or don’t access to a bath, you can still create a soothing shower treatment.

Focus on the 5 senses, and maybe mix a custom salt scrub for yourself so you can support your skin and infuse it with the treatment that will support your current needs.

Overall, investing in any treatments or self care systems will yield big benefits for you physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. You are 100% worth it! I hope this little list will inspire you to try some new ways to take good care of yourself, starting today.

I’m wishing you a gentle day and a very gentle remainder of this Mercury Retrograde cycle.

Sending you a big hug from my little corner of the world to you,
Kristy~xoxo

Full Moon Must Have's

full moon (2019_01_30 23_54_58 UTC).jpg

Full Moon Must Have’s

If you’re a highly sensitive person, you may find that you’re impacted by the cycle of the full moon.

If you find that you experience physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual shifts during the full moon, then you’re not alone.

Below you’ll find some common Full Moon Symptoms.

These symptoms can show up a few days before the full moon, the day of the full moon cycle, and continue for a few days following the full moon as well; leading to around 7 days of potential symptoms and full moon experiences.

 Common Full Moon Symptoms:

  • I find that Empath’s, HSP’s, and Intuitives experience these symptoms more than those who don’t identify as sensitive.

  1. Slight Fever

  2. Headache

  3. Achy or Highly Sensitive Skin

  4. Increased Sensitivity to Light, Sound, and Crowds

  5. Pressure in the Head and or Body

  6. Feeling Lethargic or in Slow Motion

  7. Feeling Foggy or Find it Hard to Focus

  8. Bloating

  9. Nausea

  10. Clumsiness

  11. Intense Emotions and or Deep Feelings

  12. Find Old Issues Resurfacing for Another Layer of Healing or Clearing

  13. Need to be Alone or to be Quiet

  14. Need More Sleep than Usual, Including Naps

  15. Exhaustion

  16. Insomnia

  17. Dehydration

  18. Upset or Sensitive Stomach

  19. Food Cravings

Here are My Must Have’s For This Time:

Please just use this little list as a jumping off place for you to create your must have list or your own Full Moon Kit so you can take good care of yourself during this cycle. I’ve found that once Highly Sensitive People like yourself understand that these symptoms are real, they aren’t imagining it, and they’re connected to a 28 day moon cycle; there’s a feeling of relief. I’ve also found that by understanding how to work with this cycle, sensitive souls can experience a gentler full moon cycle and even glean positives and productive experiences during this time.

Extra Water:

Drinking more water than usual is really important to help with any clearing or releasing you may do during this time. It also helps with bloating or physical discomfort that can show up for you, including dehydration headaches. If you have trouble remembering to drink water when you’re cold like me, you may want to place it in several places where you can easily access it throughout the day.

Epsom Salt + Sea Salt:

More water again, if you have access to a bath tub, I would encourage you to take a salt bath daily during the seven days of the moon cycle. This is one of my favorite ways to add comfort during this time, I find it really helps me physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It can help reduce swelling, tense muscles, and support you in releasing anything that’s trying to move on during this time. It’s also very soothing and relaxing. If you have trouble sleeping during this time, an evening salt bath can help you to relax.

If you don’t have a tub or aren’t a bath person, you can do a gentle salt scrub in the shower to help your muscles and clearing process. Be gentle during this process, no need to scrub really hard, you’re just trying to receive support from the salts, not scrape away your top layer of skin.

Comfortable Clothing + Accessories:

I’m one of the people who has a significant skin reaction and increased skin sensitivity during the full moon. I only wear the softest clothing I have during this time, including cozy socks, and layering pieces. When I’m home, I exclusively wear cozy house clothes, fuzzy socks, and use my favorite and softest blanket. I even change my sheets to my favorite set during this cycle because my skin goes to a whole other level of sensitive.

Heat Pad:

Sometimes, the body aches will be uncomfortable for me so I’ll use my favorite heating pad to help soothe any aches, or weird cold bones that can show up for me during this time. This can also help me rest and sleep if I’m experiencing insomnia too.

Favorite Movies + Favorite Snacks:

I like to have my favorite soul soothing movies and snacks on hand in case I feel like I want to slip into another world as part of my full moon self care routine. (Hogwarts Express, here I come.) Food Cravings are a common symptom that can show up and I like to have a few of my favorites available so I can enjoy them if I feel the craving coming on…you’ll find popcorn, salt and vinegar potato chips, and vegan oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies in my snack pack.

Journal:

I like to be able to write down my thoughts and feelings when those big emotional waves show up for me. I like to look back to see what I’m working through and how it shifts and changes and works out throughout the course of the year.

Essential Oils:

I’m a big oil lover, and if you ever come over to my home or to my professional office, you’ll be greeted by oils. It’s really hard for me to choose a favorite oil, which is a question I get often. I don’t even know if it’s possible to choose just one, so I’ll give you my favorite full moon oil list so you can see which ones are your favorite.

Lavender: It really is the swiss army knife of the oil world and it’s so great for calm, soothing, ang healing support. Drop a few drops in your salt bath for all the calming vibes. Diffuse when you need extra emotional support or add a drop to your favorite carrier oil and rub over your heart chakra for emotional soothing.

Bergamot: Bright, uplifting but also simultaneously soothing, supportive, and calming. This one is so great for so many things plus it’s a member of the citrus family and pairs beautifully with so many oils….for instance like Lavender.  

Frankincense: I mean, it’s such a powerhouse and all time favorite for a reason, it does so much and I don’t even know if there are enough words to explain how incredible this plant oil is when thinking about it’s potential for support. It’s calming, soothing, allows for an easier transition into meditation and prayer, and it helps to clear the air with its natural properties. I always diffuse this during a workshop because it has such a multifaceted support for participants. I love diffusing this during the full moon cycle because it helps me to see the big picture and receive messages and take aways for the issues showing up for me.

Tree Oils: All The Tree Oils Please. I think you either are or aren’t a tree oil person; in the same way that you either are or aren’t an ocean or a lake person. I think that you can appreciate both, the lakes and the ocean but usually people feel more drawn to one over the other and will swim in one over the other and have strong feelings about their reasons why. I digress, so if you are someone who naturally loves being around trees and feel called to be near them and even feel a clearing, and more like yourself when you’re near them, then there’s a good chance you’ll love tree oils.

I’m one of these people, and like other Tree Oil People, I can’t get enough of them. I adore them and really do feel called to use them, especially when I could use some extra comfort, clearing, and emotional support. There are so many tree oils to choose from as you can imagine as there are so many trees. (Thankfully!)

Here are some of my Tree Oil Favorites:

Northern Lights Black Spruce
Idaho Blue Spruce
Idaho Grand Fir
Frankincense
Palo Santo
Cedarwood
Sandalwood
Eucalyptus

Quiet:

I find I need more quiet at this time and will give myself permission to turn off my devices early when I need to and will create a quiet environment for myself so I can just be. During this quiet time, I may read a physical hard copy book, knit or stitch, bead, journal, or just watch the flicker of the candlelight mode on my diffusers which are all over my home. Sometimes I’ll go for a walk around my neighborhood and just listen to the birds or just sit and watch the clouds go by. I find that it’s not about a specific amount of time that I need this quiet, my body just knows what it needs and I try to honor that in the ways that feel right for me on any particular day.

I hope this will help you to find some Support Systems that are a great fit for you and your Full Moon Experience. Remember there’s no one way or right way to move through this powerful time; there’s just the ways that are right for you on any particular day. I hope that by leaning into your own personal Must Have list and creating your own Full Moon Kit you’ll be able to experience a more gentle cycle and maybe even experience some positives and some self care too.

Happy New Year 2021!

hello january.jpg

Happy New Year,

We made it to January and to a brand new year, and I hope that you had a peaceful and happy holiday season.

The energy this year already feels so much more fast paced and intense, you may already be feeling it too. There’s this little push pull situation that often happens at this time of the year. There’s so much excitement for the new year and all of the potential it brings with it. (Plus, saying goodbye to 2020 feels pretty great, am I right?) However, there’s also this energy of slowly coming out of the holiday energy, which is sometimes referred to as the holiday hangover. (I know, not the best term.) If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, we’re also experiencing winter which is a time of rest, restore, and replenish.

So, if you’re feeling a mix of big energies to get up and go and hit the ground running, and also to take it easy and to go at your own pace, and also a bit of sadness that all the pretty lights and bobbles are put away…guess what? You’re right on time!

The energy is all of these things right now plus all of the things that are happening around us locally and globally.

If you’re still feeling your way through how you’re adjusting to this new year and still setting intentions, or planning out some of your goals for this year; again, you’re right on time.

  • Take a deep breath, in through your nose and out through your mouth

  • Good

  • Again

  • Take a moment to notice any places or spaces where you may be holding onto tension, tightness, or pressure. Give yourself permission to release that energy as you continue to breathe.

  • Good

Sometimes, we don’t even notice how much pressure we’re putting on ourselves while trying to get all the things lined up for the year and planning how to get all these things checked off our many lists.

You do have what it takes to create and enjoy this new year in the way that resonates for you.

You do have the ability to create a vision for what you want and to take daily action steps toward that dream and vision.

You do have what it takes to remove the things, people, and situations which are no longer a fit for you.

You do have what it takes to honor the true calling and guidance within you as you look ahead into your 2021.

You are not alone; even if you feel lonely.

You are enough.
You are enough.
You are enough.

You do have the ability to dream bigger this year and to release and or break any glass ceilings that are no longer serving you so you can expand into the life that truly calls to you.

It’s safe for you to lean into the calling of your soul this year, in any and all the ways that you’re being guided to become more of the real and authentic you.

I see you
I see the real you
I believe in you

I know that you can move forward this year in the ways that are a genuine fit for you while also honoring your balance, energy levels, personal happiness, and joy.

I know that you can maintain your healthy boundaries this year while also creating time and space for self care and self love.

I know that you have the ability to love and support yourself in the same ways that you so easily help and encourage the other people in your life each and every day.

Today is a fresh start
This month is a fresh start
This year is a fresh start

And I know that you can prioritize the things that are genuinely important to you as you begin to dream and plan for your new year.

Whether you feel guided to create a vison board, monthly or quarterly goals, lists,  ____________ or a combination of ways to honor and support your year...please know that you’re capable of making this a wonderful year.

Last year was tough for everyone, this year will have its own challenges, like each year.

However, this is a time to lean into the spaces and places where you are being called to honor your desires while focusing on what brings you joy, happiness, and peace.

If you feel so inclined, today happens to be 1.11 which is a really powerful day for manifesting and anchoring things into our lives. In angel numbers 111 means “Your thoughts are manifesting instantly, so keep your mind-set focused upon your desires and give all your fearful thoughts to heaven for transmutation.”

Maybe take a few minutes today to think about all of the beautiful possibilities you would like to bring into your life this year and then do something that makes you happy.

Joy is a light, bright, and fast energy which opens our hearts in powerful ways.

I’m wishing you a fresh start and a new beginning that is filled with joy, happiness, peace, and unlimited kindness and opportunities this year.

If you are an oil lover like me and could use some oil blend ideas for this new energy, I have a blog post for you here; enjoy!
 
With love from my teeny corner of the world to you,
Kristy~xoxo
