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

Reassess, Reengage, and Repeat

Hello and welcome to August~
I hope this finds you well as we begin a new month. I feel like so much has happened since we last connected and I have a feeling you may be experiencing it too.  Does it feel a bit like a whirlwind has been happening? Almost as if days feel like weeks and then sometimes weeks feel like days? You’re not alone and no, you’re not imagining it either. So much is happening that it can be a bit of a challenge to take a break and focus on one thing at a time while also remembering to take a little time for you too.

So, on that note, let’s take a little deep breath, in through the nose and out through the mouth….good. Take a moment to release any tension, tightness, or stress you may be holding onto inside of your body. And double check to make sure you aren’t holding your breath and release any tension in your tummy…good. Go ahead and take another deep breath in and then out through your mouth…good. You can do this exercise anytime you are feeling any tension or stress or if you notice that your body feels tight or frozen. This helps to reset your nervous system and can support regulating your body so it can get back to rest and digest instead of running fight, flight, freeze, or fawn for long periods of time. This natural stress response can stay activated for long periods of time when we’re experiencing a significant amount of stress and unexpected events over a period of time.

As you may already know or can guess from the title of this newlsetter, Mercury Retrograde is beginning on the 4th of this month and goes through the 28th. However, we’ve already been getting a preview of this energy as its shadow period began on the 16th of July. All we have to do is think about the blue screen update fiasco to get a picture of this energy system that we’re all moving through together. Whether we were personally impacted by the blue screen update, or tried to support people we knew who were impacted, or watched footage of people stuck in airports we are all getting a clear view of this energy. This is a great time to back up files and double check your systems. For more specific information about the astrological updates surrounding this cycle, click here to read Elizabeth Pendleton’s detailed breakdown. If you’ve been here for a while you’ll remember Elizabeth and her fantastic Astrology 411; if you’re new, you’re in for a treat, she’s fantastic!

With everything happening right now, the big theme that’s coming through is all about taking stock or taking a personal inventory of what you’re being guided to address. This can be anything from going over to do lists that have been unattended for whatever reasons, to getting some extra items from the store for a little cushion, or making changes to your schedule so you can have more room to get to the things you are being guided to do. Sometimes one of the best ways we can make an impact is to clear out the stuff that isn’t really relevant right now. Maybe you’re being guided to say no to some things so you can say yes to making your lists or needs a priority. Reassessing your situation is a top priority right now. If you’ve been getting this message too, you’re spot on and I’m just confirming your messages for you.

Once you are clear on what you’re being guided to focus on, try to do one thing at a time so you can see and feel progress being made. I know that it sounds like doing one thing at a time should be a given but I know that you probably tend to do many things all at the same time. So, when you find yourself going into this pattern, give yourself some grace, take a breath, and choose one thing to work on and then work on that one thing, even if only for 15 minutes. If you need to set up a timer, it can really help to calm any stress you may feel about only working on one thing at a time. When the timer rings, you can either take a break, choose to stop, or choose to begin working on something else. This will help you to make real progress and get things off your list while also helping you to decompress and offload some stress at the same time. You’ll also increase your ability to focus on one thing at a time which will make it easier to continue this new pattern. This is the Reengage phase, as it allows you to take action consciously in ways that are supportive for you. This style also allows you to build in Recovery time with an option to take a break and to stop when your timer rings. This is really important right now too; as you can imagine stress can take a toll on our overall health and wellbeing. Taking time for recovery and rest is important and allows you to get back to your reengage phase when you’re ready.

This process of reassess, reengage, and repeat is the big theme coming through right now. Part of this can also include things like rest, renewal, rejuvenate, restore, review, reconnect, remove, respond, retire, recreate etc. The real takeaway here is to give yourself permission to focus on what you are personally being guided to invest in during this cycle. Your Reassess list or information may be similar to someone else’s in your life or it may be really different. By connecting with yourself and asking what you need to focus on you’ll be guided to the things that are right for you. You can take some time in quiet meditation or during a journaling exercise to get clear on what is showing up for you. You can work with your guides or AA Michael, AA Raphael, or AA Uriel to help you get clear on this information. Or, if you feel guided to work with me; I would love to help you get some clarity on this information! Whatever ways feel right for you as you move through this theme this month will support you in making progress and moving forward one step at a time.

I look forward to working with you if you feel guided to schedule a session with me and I’m wishing you a gentle and supportive month. Please go slow, give yourself grace, and ask for help when you need it. A lot is happening and it’s important to remember that you’re not alone.

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

P.S. At the time of writing this, the Park Fire is still raging in my community. A big thank you to those of you who have reached out and sent your love and support, I really appreciate it! As of right now I have not been evacuated and I haven’t had to change any appointments. I am still working and If I am evacuated, I will keep you updated and keep my schedule updated as well, to the best of my ability. Xoxo

Increasing the Volume of Your Inspiration, Insights, and Ideas

Happy June~

I hope this finds you well as we move into a new month and a new energy.
Did May feel like it was extra long this year or was that just me? Here in the Northern Hemisphere, we are winding down the Spring season and preparing for the beginning of Summer all in the next few weeks. It’s an exciting time and one that brings with it lots of movement, shifts, and changes. You may have noticed this shift showing up for you in your life too. Maybe you’re literally moving, or maybe you can feel an upswing in your energy which is moving you to get things going in your life that have felt stagnant. However this energy is showing up for you, this is a wonderful time to take action on your personal inspiration, insights, and ideas.

Working hand in hand with this uplifting energy is a gentle but very palpable message about increasing the volume on joy. Sometimes we feel like our joy meter is either on or off but if you can think about it like a volume dial that you can manually increase at any rate you want, you can find ways to increase your dial at a rate that resonates for you. One of the ways that you can increase the volume of joy in your life is by investing in the aspects of life that feel meaningful and fulfilling to you. It doesn’t matter if other people in your circle enjoy the same things you enjoy, it only matters that you feel uplifted and fulfilled. Every investment in these activities increases that volume dial allowing you to reduce stress, tension, and feelings of overwhelm while moving into the flow of something you enjoy at the same time. Another benefit of investing in things that you like or even love to do is that you actually recharge your batteries while you’re doing_____________. You may find that you notice an additional boost in your energy, mood, and outlook allowing you to move forward with something that you’ve been wanting to work on. This creates momentum for you in many areas of your life, and simultaneously increases that volume on joy. Win-win.

There’s no one way or right way to do this, only the ways that feel right for you right now. For some people, they may feel inspired to make plans with people they haven’t seen in a while. Others may feel guided to take action on projects, dreams, or to do lists they’ve been meaning to get to. Some people may feel guided to begin clearing clutter, working on gardens, and other DIY projects that finally feel like “today is the day” kind of inspiration. Some people are being guided to delegate and ask for help. Many people are being guided to learn or practice new skills that they’ve been dabbling with here and there. While others are receiving messages about moving their bodies more, eating lighter nutrient dense foods, and getting outside more frequently. What messages have you been receiving lately? You’ll know that you’re receiving divine messages by the repetitive nature of the message and the thoughts and feelings that come with them such as, “I was just thinking that.” or “Woah, that seems like it was a message for me too.” or “Why do I keep hearing the same thing every time I walk by a conversation, turn on a video, or read a post?” Messages are often repeated over and over until we realize that they are for us. You can always ask for a confirmation if you’re unsure the message is for you. You may be receiving more than one message as we move into this new shifting energy. Finding ways to allow yourself to honor your messages in the ways that feel like a fit for you will support you in enjoying this shift while also honoring your inspiration, insights, and ideas.

As a highly sensitive soul, you may find yourself feeling a bit tentative at the thought of the messages or inspiration you’re receiving. That’s okay, if you notice any tension or tightness, please just take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth…good. You don’t have to do everything today. In fact, if you can try to shift your perception from tasks or work to play and fun it can help to decrease any nervousness you may be feeling. By starting with something, anything, you will begin to capitalize on that movement and momentum happening. You can choose something seemingly easy or fun or set a timer to work on something for a specific amount of time and then stop when the timer ends. Sprinkling investments of time in the things, people, and aspects of life that are meaningful to you will support you in increasing your joy. This will also support you in making the shifts and changes that are important to you which will also increase your volume on joy. You can do it and yes, you are 100% worth the investment of your time and energy. Your dreams, insights, and ideas are equally important as others and seemingly small investments always add up to big change.

I’m wishing you a wonderful new month filled with kind people, experiences, and opportunities. I’d love to hear how you’re investing in your personal inspiration, insights, and ideas this month!

If you feel guided to work with me or you’d like me to look at the messages that are showing up for you right now, I’d love to work with you. You can schedule your session here.

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

The Quickening is Here...

Hello and welcome to March,
I hope this finds you well as we move into a new month and the big shift that is happening right now. You may be able to feel the quickening happening within and around you. This little window that we’re in right now before we officially meet the first day of Spring here in the Northern Hemisphere is where the magic happens. You may notice that you’re experiencing an uptick in inspiration, ideas, energy, and excitement about projects or things on your list that you feel ready to begin. You may notice that you’re feeling more like yourself or perhaps you’re feeling a shift in perspective or a sense that things are beginning to come into alignment for you. Any of these experiences are right on time for the shift that’s happening right now. In fact, even if it’s still cold and rainy where you are, (like it is where I am) we can still see signs of the quickening happening around us too. Flowers are beginning to bloom, grasses and other plants are beginning to wake up, and trees are even beginning to break bud. These seemingly small signs of new life here and there remind us that new life is happening around us and that same surge of energy is happening within us as well.

This unfurling or awakening process is a natural one that we experience together. This is a powerful time to capitalize on your own personal experience and inspiration to support you in moving with this energy in the ways that speak to you. Like most things, there are no right ways nor is there only one way to make the most of this positive shift that’s happening right now. There are just the ways that are right for you on any particular day. Taking a little time to check in with yourself to see what things have been showing up for you can help you to better understand how you’re being guided to invest your energy and inspiration at this time. You can also take a look back at some things that you’ve found interesting or intriguing lately. Are there some things that you’ve enjoyed learning, watching, or reading about this winter season that you feel guided to try your hand at now that you’re feeling a shift in your energy? Sometimes, we can find answers to what we’re being guided to work on, learn more about, or invest our time in by paying attention to what we’re enjoying right now. If you’re still not sure exactly what you’re being guided to focus on, you can ask for a clear sign in your physical world that you’ll easily notice and understand. Then, pay attention to the messages that you start to receive. You’ll find that you start to receive repeating messages as answers to your questions. You can work with your angels, guides, or any spiritual support system that resonates for you.

Some of the themes that have been coming through include but are not limited to the list I’ve included below. You may find that these themes and messages are showing up for you too. However, this is not an end all be all list and you may be receiving guidance about something different which is fantastic and completely personal to you.

• Nurturing and cultivating a gentle home environment

• Deep calling to make food from scratch and from gentle or basic ingredients

• Guidance to learn new skills or practice current skills with food including baking, making food from scratch, preservation methods etc.

• Gardening and seed storage

• Increasing immune health

• Detoxing or Eating nurtrient dense foods

• Gentle Exercise

• Meditation or mindfulness practice

• Increasing or nurturing spiritual gifts

• Writing and or journaling

• Creative pursuits either learning something new or picking up something you have enjoyed in the past

• Taking steps toward starting or making progress on a project that’s important to you

• Streamlining aspects of your life that need to be simplified

• Decluttering

• Letting go of things that are finished

• Daydreaming

• Increasing joy and laughter

• Moving at your own pace

• Making time to do something for yourself each day

• _________________________________________

As we move into this new energy, you may notice that you feel a sense of increased sensitivity and you may be experiencing some ascension symptoms as well. You can think of yourself as a beautiful flower blooming in this in between time that’s happening right now. You may find that you need a little extra tlc on some days as you’re adjusting to this shift that’s happening. This is one of the reasons the messages and insights that you’re receiving about what to focus on right now is so important. These insights will add support for you as we move through this energy shift and as we prepare for a new season which is right around the corner. This is a really special time of the year filled with possibility and new beginnings, and you get to enjoy and experience this in your life too. To the best of your ability honor the messages and inspiration you’re receiving and take action steps in the ways that are a fit for you. And all the while, enjoy this process, it’s filled with magic and beauty and it’s happening right now. You’re part of it! It’s happening within you, so please give yourself permission to enjoy this quickening while it’s here and create some magic in your daily life this month.

If you’d like to schedule a session with me to look at some specific things showing up for you; I’d love to support you. Or if you want to focus on something totally different, that’s great too. I’m here for you.

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,
Kristy~xoxo

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year~
Welcome to 2024!
I hope this new year will bring you and yours blessings, joy, happiness, and peace. I hope that you had a wonderful holiday season and that this message is finding you well and rested as we begin a new year.

I want to gently remind you that the holiday hangover phenomenon is real and if you're finding yourself in need of a little more rest, a little more quiet, and a little more time to fully move into the new year energy, you're not alone. If you can find little ways to honor your need to go slowly this first week of the new year, please give yourself permission to do so. Things that feel supportive for you can help you move more gently into this new year.

Whether it's things like: 

• jammies, cozy socks, and tea or

• slowly putting away holiday decorations at your own pace, or

• limiting screen time so your body can rest and recover or

• ________________________

Any of these things can help you so that you feel ready to focus on the new year when the timing is more aligned for you and your energy. Trying to push or force yourself to be ready when you're not isn't helpful for you. I promise you'll feel the shift happen, but for now please be gentle with yourself and honor the wisdom you're receiving.

However, if you are starting to feel the subtle shifts showing up for you right now, you may want to spend a little time, even 10 minutes investing in some journaling or listing themes that you feel guided to focus on throughout your new year. There's no one way or right way to do this; only the ways that resonate for you right now. You may feel guided to choose a word as a theme or perhaps you have a few themes or goals that you know you want to focus on this year. Maybe you want to make a new vision board or screen saver collage to help you to see the things that are a focus for you in 2024. Maybe you feel guided to use a combination of things to help honor and focus your intentions for your new year. In any ways that you feel guided to move through this process, you will find that it helps to move you forward. Any action that you take no matter how seemingly small helps to build momentum and supports you in taking the next steps. 

As you move through this process, I encourage you to include some dreams to your vision boards, lists, themes, and words. Often times, especially as adults we focus on the projects that are prescient, currently in motion, and things that are practical or pragmatic. These are worthwhile and important aspects to include in this sacred work. However, that being said, please leave a little room for dreaming, laughter, joy, fun, and play. After decades (yes...decades) of working with clients and students from all kinds of backgrounds, this is an area that shows up again and again. Please don't feel sad if you're thinking that these lighter or perhaps less prescient aspects of life weren't the first things that popped up for you as you were thinking about what might be on your list for 2024. You can include anything that you want, and these aspects are equally important and as valuable as the aspects that focus on the bottom line. You don't have to choose only from column A, you get to choose whatever you feel guided to choose and you can update your list at any time. Yes, you're worth it and no, you don't have to finish several items on your to do list before you can enjoy happiness, joy, and peace. You are worthy right now. 

This time of year, and this important beginning of the new year work can sometimes include reviewing the past year or maybe even several years. This is a natural part of the process. You may be continuing some work or themes that are currently in progress for you. You may find that this review process brings up a lot of emotions and memories for you. Sometimes those emotions can include grief or sadness. I want to gently remind you that these are natural feelings and experiences that can show up while doing this kind of work. Allowing yourself to move through these feelings can be a big support system for you. However, if you feel guided to reach out for support from someone else as well, that can also be a powerful support system for you. 

No matter where you find yourself today in this new 2024 energy, know that you're moving into the energy at the pace that is right for you. If you feel like jumping in and starting your year off with projects and activities that resonate for you, great! If you feel like moving a bit more softly and quietly into the new year, great! If you find yourself somewhere in the middle, great! You're not in a competition and honoring the guidance you're receiving about how to move into your new year is wise and sage advice. You're already meeting, adjusting, and working with the new energy right now and you get to choose how to do that important work that shifts you into this new year. 

I hope that you'll enjoy this process and the beginning of this new year. I'm so thankful to be sharing this new year with you! Thank you for being here. 

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

Reaching for Peace

I hope this finds you well as we officially move into the final month of the year. If you celebrated Thanksgiving last week, I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend and are recovering from all the yummy food and festivities.

As we move into December, we move full swing into the holiday season and can feel the tempo of the energy increasing as we move toward the end of the year. This time of year brings up all kinds of things for us no matter where we are or how old we are. This time of year can activate old memories, nostalgia, excitement, and an opportunity to participate in favorite activities that mark this season for you or to create or cultivate new traditions that you enjoy. It’s also a time that can feel like it takes on a rhythm all its own and sometimes it can feel like the season is moving too quickly or that you aren’t able to be fully present in the way you want. This experience is universal, it’s not a message that you aren’t doing something right or that you aren’t trying hard enough to hold onto the holiday season; it’s part and parcel of this movement toward the end of the year.

In addition to the holiday season we’re also wrapping up the remainder of the Autumn season in the Northern Hemisphere and moving into Winter on December 21st. There are so many things happening this month and we get to move through these shifts and changes all while honoring the season in the ways that are right for us. One of the ways you can capitalize on the gentility and quiet spaces between all the things happening this season is by reaching for peace. This is something that will be personal to you and allows you to reach for peace in the ways that resonate for you. For some, it may mean saying yes to the aspects of the season that bring the most joy and fulfillment. For others it may mean saying no to too many requests for time away from home. It may mean embracing the simple and significant moments that are meaningful for you and yours. It may be sitting in front of the fire with a cup of cider or caroling or ________________. It could be preparing a favorite holiday dish or simply enjoying the sparkling lights that are popping up all over houses, streets, and trees each day. There’s no one way or right way to reach for peace this season. There are only the ways that are right for you and yours. In fact, you may find that one day you choose something that feels right and another day something else is the exact right choice. It’s about finding the right balance between saying yes to the activities that are right for you while also saying no to the ones that aren’t a fit this year. I promise, you’ll know which ones are a yes and which ones are a no. Just check in with yourself and you’ll receive a clear message. By checking in with yourself throughout December, you’ll find that you automatically experience more peace and presence; and you may find that you feel more connected to the holiday season at the same time.

As we turn the final page on the calendar this year, it’s also natural to take a little time to reflect on all that you’ve experienced during 2023. This review process may have already started for you, maybe you’re already looking over the things you’ve done, how you’ve shifted, and the things you’re bringing with you into the new year. This is a good time to allow yourself to gently review your year while also letting yourself move through this process in the ways that feel right for you. Maybe you keep a journal and you feel guided to read through it to reflect on your year. Maybe you made a vision board this year and you feel guided to look over it and see what you experienced and what is still being created and still in progress. Maybe you keep a photo journal and feel guided to scroll through your life in pictures or video to reflect on your year. Taking a little time to move through this process and to glean any takeaways from the themes you experienced this year can be very supportive. Like most things this season, there’s no need to push or force this process, rather move through it in the ways that feel right for you.

While there are lots of things happening this month, here we are at the very beginning which allows you to choose how you want to move through this holiday season and the last month of 2023. I invite you to take a little time today or tomorrow to check in with yourself about how you want to celebrate December. Leaning into the season in the ways that resonate for you will allow you to experience more presence and more peace. Moving at your own pace will allow you to make the most of this time and yes, you’re worth it.

I’m wishing you and yours a very happy and healthy holiday season and a happy new year!

As always, I’m sending you love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world, straight to you!
Thank you for sharing your year with me.
With love and deepest gratitude,
Kristy~ xoxo

Harvest Full Moon

We’re welcoming the Harvest Full Moon today and you’re probably already feeling its big energy. While all full moon cycles are healing and impactful, this one felt very prescient. I wanted to send you a message with some tips to help you move through this energy this weekend which will also bring the beginning of a new month on Sunday. We’re moving through some really big shifts in the next few days so I hope you will find some messages below that will support you and offer you some additional comfort this weekend.

When we think about the harvest season, you may think about bringing in the literal fruits of your labor that you planted in the spring and summer seasons. For many, this is absolutely the case and if you’ve planted a physical garden, you’ve probably been very busy bringing in and putting up your harvest for the winter. This is also a time to think about the other aspects you’ve sewn in the Spring and Summer seasons that are coming in during this time of harvest. This is a powerful time to look back over your journal entries, goals, or themes that you’ve been working on since the beginning of Spring, back in March. Maybe you don’t have a physical record of your intentions but you’ve been holding them close to your heart for safe keeping. In any ways that you’ve been keeping track of your dreams, intentions, or goals during this time, taking some time to reflect on what has shifted, what has come through for you, what is still shifting, and what has cleared is a powerful way to gain insight into your personal harvest season. Maybe you’ll find some blessings that you weren’t expecting when you look back, and maybe you’ll find that there are things that you feel guided to let go as we continue to move through this Autumn season.

Highly sensitive people (like yourself) may experience an increased sensitivity during the Full Moon cycle and may also experience Full Moon symptoms. The Full Moon cycle gives us an opportunity to release, rest, and heal. There aren’t any right ways to do this, in fact, honoring the process that matches your rhythm will be the best way for you to move through the energy. I’ve included some things below that may offer you additional support, please see this list as inspiration or a jumping off point for you to curate a support system that works best for you.

• Drink More Water: You may notice that you feel parched or that you need more water than usual at this time.

• Get Into Water: You can take a Bath or Shower or get into your Hot Tub, or go for a Swim. Being in water can help your body to decompress and relax. You can also add Epsom or sea salt to your bath if you feel guided.

• Be Near Water: Take a walk next to the beach, creek, or lake. Listening to the sound of water helps your body decompress and relax. You can listen to sound files of water and you’ll notice your body automatically releasing stress. You don’t have to physically go to a water source if that’s not possible for you at this time.

• Slow Down (to the best of your ability) Even if this means winding down a bit earlier than usual, or taking one thing off your list.

• Naps: Even if you aren’t a napper, if you feel like you need to take a nap and you can, please take a nap.

• Eat Gentle Foods: Some people experience sensitivity to foods at this time and feel guided to eat gentle foods and drink gentle beverages. Listen to your body and do what feels right for you.

• Avoid Intense Places (to the best of your ability) This may not be the very best time for you to go to Costco, the DMV, or places where there are lots of people and lots of things happening everywhere.

• Avoid Intense People (to the best of your ability) Give yourself permission to say no to people who drain your energy and drain your time.

• Say Yes to Gentle Environments and Gentle Sounds in your Home (to the best of your ability) Listening to music or watching something that is soothing or supportive for you can be very helpful at this time. You may feel guided to take a little break from news and social media feeds so you can let down and truly rest.

• Gentle Clothes: Some highly sensitive people find their already sensitive skin becomes even more sensitive at this time. You may want to wear super soft fabrics, and use your favorite blanket, and softest sheets. Some people experience a low grade pain under their skin at this time, so focus on cozy, soft, and loose clothing if you experience this symptom.

• Bloating, Headaches, Low Grade Fever, and Body Aches: If you experience any of these symptoms during the full moon cycle, you may want to try to rest, get as much sleep as you can, and try to be very good to yourself. You may find that drinking extra water can help to alleviate some of the symptoms. These symptoms usually shift pretty quickly but if they persist, contact your health care professional.

• Sleep Disturbances: Some sensitive souls find they experience insomnia or other sleep disturbances during the Full Moon cycle. You may want to set up your sleeping space for success by removing devices including tv’s, phones, tablets etc so you can remove blue light from your space. You may also want to avoid harsh or intense news stories, shows, or movies before sleeping. You may want to listen to a guided meditation, set up your diffuser, or read from a physical book to help you wind down for sleeping.

• Say Yes to Things that Bring You Comfort and Joy: Focusing on taking good care of yourself, resting when you’re guided, and doing things that feel uplifting, joyful, and supportive are important at this time.

I hope this will give you some support and inspiration as to how you can best honor yourself during this Harvest Full Moon cycle. I encourage you to take a little time to look over your own personal harvest for this year as well as taking good care of yourself during this prescient Full Moon cycle. I’m wishing you a very gentle, restorative, and positive Full Moon experience.

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

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

Simplicity and Streamlining as We Meet the Middle of the Year

Hello, welcome to June
I hope this finds you well as we meet the middle of the year.  This time of year provides us a beautiful opportunity to take a personal inventory so we can make some shifts and adjustments if needed as we move forward. Some questions that may be coming up for you right now may include things like: How has my year been so far? How do I feel about the themes and cycles that I’ve been moving through this year? What kinds of things would I like to increase moving into this next 6 months? What kinds of things would I like to release in the next 6 months? This opportunity to reflect and adjust is a gift we give to ourselves. This process is not something to be nervous about but rather something that can offer support, insight, and positive changes.

One of the biggest themes that I’ve seen coming up for people recently is a sense of overwhelm, challenges in focusing on tasks or goals, and a deep calling to clean out things that have run their course. At first glance these may not seem related to one another, but the truth is they are deeply connected. Sometimes, when these themes start showing up, it’s a message for us to take a look at what areas of our life could use some simplicity and some streamlining. If you’ve ever walked into a home that’s filled with things that are out of place and chaotic, you probably remember the impact it made on your physical body and your mental state immediately. You may have noticed that you felt the need to get out of there as quickly as possible because it created a lot of stress and overwhelm for you. Our environment whether physically or the circle of people we interact with on a regular basis contributes to our overall health and wellbeing. Sometimes, without realizing it, things begin to tuck into the corners of our homes, work spaces, and vehicles creating and contributing to feelings of overwhelm, lack of focus, and a feeling that something needs to change. Sometimes these “things” are old ways of living and even some relationships that have run their course. The good news is that when we realize this theme is showing up for us, we have the ability to make some simple but significant changes so we can make space to move forward.

I’ve included an exercise below that can support you in taking an inventory of how things are going for you right now so you will have a clear picture of what you’re being guided to simplify and streamline this month. There are no wrong answers here and no one is going to ask you to share what you write down, so please give yourself permission to let your answers move through you organically. You may want to take a couple of deep breaths, turn off notifications on your device, and when you feel ready, you can move through the exercise. (You can come back to this at any time you choose if you feel guided to work through it again.)

Okay, great job! I hope this helped you to gain some insight into the places and spaces where you’re personally being guided to make some shifts and changes. Remember that any and all change makes an impact in the way that you feel and move through your world.

You may find that some of the changes you’re being guided to make you can do by yourself while others may require help from someone else. I encourage you to start with a seemingly small action and allow the momentum to move you forward. You’ll notice that as you address the areas that need attention in your life, you’ll feel happier, healthier, and more at peace. If you need support, please ask for help. You can ask for help from a loved one, a friend, or a professional support person.

I’ve included a few areas that may support you as you move forward this month. Please know this is not an end all be all list but simply a jumping off place for you to get inspired. Please feel free to create your own ideas and ways to simplify and streamline.

• Clean out your closets, pantry, cupboards, or other storage spaces.

• Let go of things that are broken, ill fitting, stained, or damaged.

• Put things away where they belong.

• Put some space between yourself and challenging people in your life to the best of your ability.

• Say yes to things and people that are uplifting and positive for you.

• Make your priorities a priority in your day, even if only for 15 minutes.

• Move your body in ways that feel good to, you even if only for 15 minutes.

• Place helpful items and things you enjoy where you can enjoy and use them easily.

• Ask for help and support when you need it.

• Take good care of yourself and treat yourself with tender loving care.

I hope this has helped you gain some insight into how you’re being guided to move into this next half of the year. I look forward to hearing about the shifts and streamlining you’re doing to help you get back into the flow of your year. I am here for you if you feel guided to work with me this month whether through an intuitive session, energy treatment, or a coaching session.

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

Making Space for Grace

Happy November!

I hope this finds you well as we move into a new month and deeper into this season. For many people this month begins a kick off to holiday gatherings, festivities focused on food, traditions, a change in weather, and a time change on November 6th. For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, the days become shorter, the nights become longer, and the weather keeps us reaching for warm blankets, slippers, and maybe a cup of hot tea. During this time, we’re being given an opportunity to spend more time inside, to turn inward, to take care of ourselves, and to slow down.

So many people have been experiencing feelings of being burned out, exhausted, and in a lot of ways overwhelmed. Maybe you’ve been experiencing some of these things too. With so much going on around the world, it can be really challenging as a highly sensitive person to manage your personal calling to help where you can while also honoring yourself and taking care of your own energy. Sometimes it can feel like our personal contributions aren’t enough which can weigh on us; however, every action, no matter how seemingly small does impact others and does make a difference. It’s important to take good care of yourself as well as supporting or offering help where you’re guided. Sometimes I find that highly sensitive people (like yourself) can struggle with healer or helper burnout because they don’t realize the signs that their body is giving them to help them rest or recover from all of the activities they’ve said yes to without taking a break in between. Becoming comfortable with slowing down and making space for your own needs is very important and will allow you to have more energy and more bandwidth so you can help in the areas that are calling to you, without taking a tole on you or your health.

This month is bringing in a deep calling to slow down and to take more time for genuine rest. This is a beautiful time to move with the natural shift that’s happening so you can take good care of yourself and your loved ones while also making space for grace. You may find that you want to focus on a few core things throughout your day and that things that were on your to do list a few months ago seem less prescient for you. This isn’t something to fret over, it’s part of this energy helping us to clear the decks and get back to the basics or fundamentals of taking good care of ourselves. It doesn’t mean that those other things aren’t important to you, it just means that they’re taking a back seat to what is important for you right now.

You may want to take a few minutes to think about or feel out what aspects of grace you’re being asked to gift yourself this month. Maybe you need more down time, maybe you need more rest or better quality sleep, maybe you need more gentle foods, maybe you need more joy, maybe you need gentle energy to help sooth your nervous system, maybe you need_________________. There are no right or wrong answers, only the answers that are right for you. As you allow yourself to hear, feel, see, or know the answers that are showing up for you, you’ll more easily be able to align with your personal recipe for support, self care, and grace this month. Slowing down is a gift that we give to ourselves and to the people in our lives that we love. This will allow you to feel more like yourself and to have more energy, excitement, and enthusiasm when you’re guided to say yes to an activity or invitation. Most importantly, this time allows for a deep nurturing and a time to truly slow down and honor what is right for you.

I’m wishing you a very gentle and restorative month filled with gentle people and experiences. I’m also wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving if you’re celebrating this 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

Cultivating a Sacred Space

I hope this finds you well as we welcome, October.
Just like the quote above, I’m also glad that I live in a world where there are October’s. This month is full of change and tends to kick off the Autumn festivities (in the Northern Hemisphere) while also beginning the season of pulling our energy inward. This month creates a beautiful dance between celebrating the Autumn season and the call to bring our attention into that quiet space within.

You may have some things on your to do list that are quintessentially representative of October. Maybe you like to go apple picking, or to your local pumpkin patch. Maybe you like to photograph the colors of the leaves as they change this month. Maybe you like to host an Autumn hot cider porch party to mark the season or something else entirely that feels like October to you. In any ways that you mark this season, this month offers us a lot of opportunities to really integrate into the new season and to see the changes happening all around us.

You may notice that as the leaves are changing outside, you feel changes happening within you too. As we’re guided to spend more time indoors with the days getting shorter and the evenings getting cooler; you may find yourself releasing things that are no longer serving you. An increase in quiet time often allows us to hear the messages and guidance we’re receiving about changes we’re being guided to make within our own lives. You may find that you’re guided to invest in more rest, self care, and even creative outlets that have been on the back burner for you. You may also be guided to find ways to create more gentle and soothing spaces within your home. All of these things are supportive and nurturing for you and can help you to care and comfort yourself and the people and pets in your home.

Light is often a big topic during this month as the beautiful golden light is so prevalent throughout October. Many people intuitively cultivate this golden light within their homes as well. You may notice that you pull out warm lighting whether with twinkle lights, candles, or even by lighting your fireplace. There is a deep calling for us to cultivate sacred spaces within our homes, and that call is often increased during this time of year. You may already be answering that call naturally without even thinking about it. Creating a space or spaces that feel calming, cozy, and comforting allows for you and those in your home to truly let down and to decompress while also being supported at the same time. Sometimes, the simplest shifts like a small table next to a chair can be an invitation to enjoy a good book or a great place to journal. Bringing out some soft throw blankets, coloring books, a knitting basket, or that pile of books that you’ve been meaning to read and placing them in arms reach can help to cultivate spaces that are supportive and calming. These are subtle additions to a space that won’t take up a lot of room but will bring so much to you and to your home. These are simple but effective ways that we can cultivate and invest in sacred spaces within our homes and within our daily lives.

People often mention to me that they experience more messages, guidance, or connection from their angels, guides, or departed loved ones during this month. (You may notice this too.) Some people ask why I think this may be; and I think there are several reasons for this experience. I do find the veil to be quite thin during this month which can increase our connections with our spiritual support team and departed loved ones. I also find that as we become quiet and begin to focus inward, we more easily hear or experience the connection that’s happening within and around us. The more that we take care of ourselves and clear away the things that are no longer serving us, we also clear the decks so to speak and find it easier to notice the messages that are coming through for us throughout the day. All of these aspects contribute to an increased connection for us which is why I think people tend to experience more messages or connection during the month of October. By cultivating a space that feels supportive for you this season you also intuitively create space for you to increase your own personal connections. You may notice that you see repeating angel numbers like 222, 444, or 11:11 more frequently. You may find feathers, coins, hear meaningful songs, or see images of angels. You may interact with people who have the same name as a departed loved one, or even experience dreams about your departed loved one. If you want to increase these kinds of connections, you can ask to experience them and then when you do, simply notice them and say thank you. You’re not alone, and when we can clear away some of the excess noise from our busy and modern lives, we can more easily hear, see, feel, know, and experience the connections that are happening all around and within us.

I’m wishing you a beautiful and magical month filled with things, people, and experiences that feel uplifting and supportive for you. I’d love to hear how you’re cultivating your sacred spaces this month. I’m looking forward to adding warm lighting to my home, baking bread, and making lots of soup, stew, chili, and all the things in my little Dutch oven, plus lots of knitting.

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

Preparing for the Subtle Shift

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

We’ve finally made it to the months I affectionately refer to as the “bers.” Each year reaching September feels like a palpable marker and the beginning of the quiet and subtle shift that begins to move us into a new energy and a new season. Turning the page on the calendar for this month seems to bring with it a promise and a knowing that we are shifting not only the season and temperatures but we’re also beginning to shift within ourselves as well.

Even if you live somewhere like me where the temperature is still in the triple digits (yes, seriously) there is a feeling that we’re already inside the shift. We can look around and see aspects of this in our daily lives with the days beginning to shorten, the garden harvest being brought in for processing, and the cooler and crisp morning air. You may also have little ones back in school or you may be back in school too. There are all these little whispers around us letting us know that the summer season (for those of us in the northern hemisphere) is coming to a close.

When we think about the season of summer, it holds a lot of outward energy. We think about being outdoors, visiting with friends, taking a trip or two, working on projects, or even things like cooking or grilling outside. As we move through this in between time of the last few weeks of summer with autumn in our sightline we can take this time to reflect on what our summer themes and takeaways were for us and begin to think about moving gently but steadily into our next season.

I find this time of year to be a bit magical, the in between time of these two seemingly different seasons. We can use this as a way to prepare for something that we want to focus our attention on as we move into this next part of the year. Was there something showing up for you this season that has been on your list to invest in a bit more? Maybe slowing down is a theme showing up for you. Maybe pulling your energy inward and focusing on some inside activities or personal passion projects are beginning to tug at your heart strings. Our bodies and souls understand the rhythm of our seasonal cycles and we can feel those shifts within us too. Sometimes it shows up as a feeling of being ready for the next thing or rather feeling a bit done with the current energy. However the message shows up for you; it’s that same wisdom, you know it’s time for a change and mother nature delivers that shift right on time. Part of the magic for me (and maybe you find this for yourself too) is that even with one season being about outward energy and the next season pulling us inward, they are really working together hand in hand to support us in finding and experiencing balance.

As we move toward this new season on September 22nd; you may feel guided to tune into the way you’re feeling each day to get a sense of where you’re being guided to shift and prepare. This doesn’t have to take a long time, even a couple of minutes in the morning will give you a clear message about how you’re feeling and what you’re being called to do to honor your personal shift. Maybe you’ll receive messages about pulling out an extra throw blanket for the sofa or your bedroom. Maybe you’ll be guided to pull out some books that have been on your reading list and set them out where you can enjoy them. Maybe you’ll be guided to look through some of your favorite hearty recipes for inspiration. Maybe you’re already itching to fill your home with the scent of apple spice simmer pots, diffuser blends, or candles. Perhaps, you’re being guided to get your fall garden sewn, chop a little more wood for your wood pile, and put up a few more jars of food. These seemingly small messages lead to the shift we’re moving through together. As you honor the guidance that you’re receiving during this magical in between time, you’ll find that you’re ready for your new season and that you’ll be ready right on time. While your messages may look similar to someone else you know, they may also be different, because your messages are yours. If you feel like you could use some extra help in hearing your messages, you can always ask your angels and your guides for a clear message in your physical world that you’ll easily notice and understand. That is one of my all-time favorite ways to ask for a message, and I’ve found it to work great. You’ll also know by the way that you feel, trust yourself and please give yourself permission to lean into this magical time as we move from summer into autumn.

I’m wishing you a beautiful shift and I hope that it is filled with messages and guidance of support as we move through this change together.

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

We Need One Another | Especially as Highly Sensitive Souls

Hi, I hope this finds you well as we arrive in August.
I don’t know about you, but this summer feels like it’s moving really quickly for me, especially since we’re now officially in August. I hope that your summer has been good to you so far and that you’ve been able to take some down time here and there for some gentle self care, rest, relaxation, and fun.

One of the big themes that has been showing up for me lately has been about the importance of personal connections. As a highly sensitive person, it can be easy to settle into a quiet gentle space in our personal lives to help off set some of the intensity of daily life. Sensitive souls often feel guided to take a lot of down time or alone time to reset and refill their energy stores. Sensitive souls often need more recharge time than other people and need to find ways to decompress and come back to center as part of their daily routine. Cultivating this balance of outward energy and restorative self care is a dance that sensitive souls do daily throughout their lives. One of the challenges is to find that balance for themselves which allows them to have the downtime they need without pulling away from personal connections in a way that can lead to isolation.

Over the last two and a half years with varying degrees of restrictions and in person connections changing from week to week and from county to county this experience of cultivating balance has become even more challenging for people. There almost seems to be another layer of needing or craving connection showing up for people right now; even after mastering all the zoom meetings, and all the changes we’ve been through, this message about connection is coming through in a big way. Maybe you’re noticing this theme showing up in your life right now too. Maybe you notice that you’re being called to be the gentle kind listener to people while you’re in the grocery store who come up to you and want to tell you something about their personal life. Maybe you’re being called to be the person to offer a kind hello, or a smile, or a compliment to someone as you walk in the park. Maybe you’re being called to tell someone that you appreciate their help while looking into their eyes and making a genuine connection with them. Maybe you’re being called to practice a random act of kindness for a stranger or for a friend or for a family member.

With this theme of personal connection coming through so strongly right now, I want to gently remind you that as a sensitive soul it’s important to remember that your needs are important too. It often feels more natural for sensitive people to raise their hands to help others. It can sometimes feel awkward or out of the comfort zone to ask for support or to let people know that you need something. Sometimes sensitive people can intuitively feel that their circle of support is going through a lot and they don’t want to add anything else to their plates so they don’t let people know what they need. Sometimes, it feels easier to pull inward to recharge since it’s a daily support system we use already. However, it’s also important to allow yourself to receive support and connections too. While many, not all, but many sensitive souls consider themselves to be introverted and maybe have small circles of friends, or maybe even consider themselves to be loners; we all still need some personal connections.

We need one another.

People need people; it’s part of our core support system, we need connections.
We can regularly practice all the things that help us within our lives whether that be working toward a new goal, learning a new skill, meditation, yoga, artistic endeavors, or _______________________. But, even with all the things that are supportive and nurturing to us and help to bring a breadth of support and joy into our lives, we still need one another. You matter and it’s important to let people know what you need, even if it’s just a phone call or meeting up for a cup of tea. You don’t have to wait for something really big to happen to feel justified in letting someone know you could use some support or just to spend some time with someone you care about.

In the same way that you would be there for someone that you care about, please know that people in your circle feel the same way about you. Let people be there for you in the same way that you are there for them. If you feel like you want or need some gentle people to come into your circle, please know that you can ask for those souls to be brought into your world. You’ll know them by their gentle energy, kind heart, and sensitive souls.

At this time where this deep calling for personal connections is making itself known again; please give yourself permission to balance your call to help others with allowing others to help you too. You’re not alone. We’re all in this together, and we need one another.

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

With deepest love and gratitude,
Kristy~ xoxo

Schools Out for Summer: Tapping into the Magic of the Season

Hello, I hope this finds you well as we welcome July.

It feels like it’s been so long since we last connected, I don’t know about you but June felt like a really long month this year. We’ve officially arrived to summer here in the Northern hemisphere even though it’s been pretty hot in my little corner of the world for a while now.

When I think about summer I often think about summers as a child and how exciting it was to have time off school, long summer nights, and lots of fun with friends and family. As a grown up, summer can sometimes feel a bit different with most of us working during this time and maybe some extra responsibilities too especially if you have little ones at home. I was thinking about ways to keep that whimsical summer energy woven into the season even with the responsibilities of being an adult. While there are lots of ways to do this, I was thinking that it could be helpful to think about a few of the seemingly simple stand out memories or favorites that you hold dear. You may be able to find a common theme for yourself when you do this. You may find there’s favorite foods you enjoy making because they represent summer to you. Maybe you like to do certain activities like making smores in the back yard because you have fond memories of doing that as a child. Maybe you really look forward to setting up an outdoor movie night with popcorn and other favorite snacks. Maybe for you it’s all about the swimming or maybe you’re already creating piles of summer reading books. The options are endless, it really just matters what stands out to you when you personally think about the energy of summer.

Taking a little time to find the theme or themes that are a fit for you can help you to bring that experience into your summer this year. You don’t need to pack every day with activities or spend lots of time away to enjoy the experience of summer. By choosing your theme and setting the intention to bring your personal brand of summer into your season this year, you will find that it allows you to open the door to the things that feel like summer for you. It can also add a little excitement, whimsy, and magic to your season too. You may find it helps you to tap into that childlike joy you had when you thought about an entire season of time off from school to play and have fun.

Here are a few questions you can ask yourself to help you find a theme that feels like a fit for you this summer. You may want to write down your answers if you feel guided and you can come back to the exercise at any time you choose. There are no wrong answers, so you can just relax and have fun with this process.

Take a couple of deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. Good, letting go of any tension, tightness, or stress that you may feel holding space inside your body. Go ahead and take another breath, and let go of any to do lists, or other things that may be holding space around you; knowing that you can go back to them when you’re finished.

• When I think about my 3 favorite summers; these are the summers that come to mind:_____________________________________________________________

• Why do these summers stand out as favorites for me? __________________________________

• How did these experiences make me feel? ___________________________________________

• Were there similar aspects to these summers or are they special because they are each unique? ___________________________________________________________________________

• Who was with me during these favorite summers? ______________________________________

• What kinds of activities did I do?_______________________________________________________

• What were some stand out moments or aspects that felt special to me? ______________________________________________________________________________

• How would I describe these experiences of my favorite summers? ____________________________

• What aspects or themes stand out when I look back over those summers? ______________________________________________________________________________

• If I had to choose 3 words to describe my favorite summers, what would they be? ______________________________________________________________________________

• How do these words make me feel? ____________________________________________________

• How can I incorporate these words or themes into my summer season this year? __________________________________________________________________________

• When I think about using these themes as an intention for this summer, I feel______________________________________________________.

• My personal theme for the summer of 2022, is the season of _____________________________________.

Great job, now you can take a moment to just sit with any emotions and memories that you’re experiencing around this or you can continue to write down any ideas or inspiration this created for you; whatever feels right for you.

I hope this will help to bring a little spark of excitement, joy, and even some childlike wonder to your new season this year. In any ways that feel like a fit for you I hope that you will enjoy celebrating the themes and aspects of the season that resonate for you and yours this summer.

I look forward to participating in some of my favorite summer activities too; things like riding bikes, early morning hikes, making popsicles, more canning, swimming, and yes, getting through some of my piles of summer reading books. I would love to hear about your personal theme for the season if you feel guided to share it with me. I’m wishing you a wonderful summer!

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

With love and gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo

A Shift In Season | A Shift Within You

Happy June!
I hope this finds you well as we round the corner on the middle of the year. I hope that this retrograde cycle has been gentle to you and has given you some time to rest, reflect, and reprioritize. We have two more days of this cycle plus the little after period which is sometimes called the shadow, haze, or the whip; but we’re almost there.  This month also brings us into a new season; in the Northern Hemisphere we’re moving into summer on June 21st and will experience the longest day of the year.

As we move through this remaining retrograde energy and closer to the summer solstice you may notice that you have an increase in your personal energy and enthusiasm. You may also notice that projects, plans, and priorities that felt stalled, slowed, or stunted begin to pick up traction for you and gain momentum. This is an exciting experience because you can almost feel a surge of energy within you that gets you excited to get going on the things that have been on your list. One of the things that can show up for people at this time is analysis paralysis. This feeling of not knowing which action to take because you aren’t sure which thing you should start with or which task is the most prescient for you. While knowing that something needs to come first, the sensitive soul (like yourself) can sometimes get bogged down with not making the wrong choice. If this resonates with you, take a breath…you’re not alone. Sometimes this will show up as needing to over research what needs to be done, other times it shows up as distractions keeping you from sitting down and making a choice, and sometimes it can show up as good old fashioned fear or nervousness. All of these experiences are natural and nothing to feel bad about.

The great news is that you can move through this experience and begin taking action on your priorities. There’s no one way to do this, it’s a personal process for everyone. However, often the project that is most important to you is the one that has been on your list the longest or that you hold close to your heart. It can be something seemingly small or big; it’s not about what it looks like to someone else, only how it measures up for you. As you begin by acknowledging what that project is for you, you can begin moving forward. You may notice that by just saying it out loud or in your journal you’ll feel a wave of relief and for some people even a decompression from within and around their body.

Here's some things to ask yourself to help you get clear on what may be a great starting place for you right now. There are no wrong answers here and no one is going to see what your write and no one is going to ask you to tell them what you wrote down for your answers.

Take a moment to breathe, and if you feel guided to write your answers down, great but you don’t have to do that. You can come back to this exercise anytime you choose.

• When you think about goals or dreams you have for yourself this year, where do you notice any pressure or energy holding space within your body? _______________________

• How has your progress been going so far this year in the direction of your goals or dreams for 2022? ____________________________

• What actions have moved you forward and worked out well for you this year? ______________________________

• What did you notice about the situations as things came together, worked out, or made forward motion? _______________________

• How did you feel? ____________________________

• Which things, if any seem to have been stalled or gone off course a bit? _________________________________________

• Are any of these items still on your list or have they been shelved? _________________________________

• If so, why? __________________________________

• How does this make you feel? _____________________________

• If you could make a significant impact on one area, project, or dream on your list this year, which one would you choose? _______________________________________

• Why? ___________________________________

• How would this forward motion impact your life in 2022? ______________________________________

• How would it impact you on a personal level? ________________________________

• What kinds of feelings would you attribute to this experience? ___________________________

• Take a moment to visualize yourself experiencing this achievement…good. How do you feel when you visualize yourself taking action on your dream, goal, or project? ________________________________________

• Take a breath and focus on where you feel any pressure or energy holding space within your body. Where do you feel or see this energy holding space for you? ______________________________________________

• Does it feel different than at the beginning of this exercise? _________

• If yes, how? ________________________________________________

• Ask yourself: What is one action step I can take now to begin making forward motion on my dream, goal, or project ________________________________________

• Do I need to contact anyone to receive help or support to take this first step? ___________________________________

• Can I begin today with the resources that I have around me right now? _________________________

• Can I invest 15-20 minutes toward the realization of my goal, today? _____________

• What can I do today to move forward? ___________________________________

Okay, great job!
You may notice that you feel a bit of an energy release just from moving through this exercise. Taking a few moments to connect with our own higher self about what’s important to us can help us to get clarity while also releasing stored tension or stress in the body we may not realize is there.

Hopefully this also helped you to focus in on an area that is really meaningful to you right now and gave you some insight on how to begin moving forward in the ways that are right for you. Sometimes I think that we believe we have to do all the steps all at once when we’re starting something new and it can feel overwhelming, especially as highly sensitive souls. The truth is that we only need to start with one step, even if it feels seemingly small, it gets us moving forward and begins to create traction for us.

Highly sensitive people (like yourself) can sometimes experience elements of perfectionism which can exacerbate feelings of analysis paralysis. Take a breath if this resonates for you. If you notice this showing up or any style of delay tactics, simply acknowledge it, breathe, and when you feel ready continue taking action on that first step. The magical aspects of getting started on something is that once you take action on the first step, you’ll be given the next step and so on. You only have to focus on doing one thing at a time. If you feel like you need a little refocus, or some insight into the next step, you can return to this exercise if you feel guided. If you need support or help from someone else, you’ll be guided to reach out for help.

As we move into this new month, new season, and new surge of energy I hope you find yourself enjoying forward motion and momentum with the things that are important to you. Just focus on one thing and go at your own pace. It’s not a race or a competition, and forward motion is still forward motion even if it seems like 15-20 minutes here and there isn’t a lot; I promise you, it adds up quickly.

I hope that you’re able to make some time for joy this month too. Leaning into things that bring you joy also fills your well, allowing you to make progress on your dreams and goals.

I’m wishing you a wonderful new month and I look forward to working with you if you feel guided to schedule a session with me.

This month, in between work I’ll be making jams, jellies, sauces, mustards, and all the things as I eagerly await the fruit season all year and look forward to spending some time in the kitchen canning my little heart out. All you fellow canners out there, I see you!

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

Soothe. Soften. Support. Setting Yourself Up for Success

Happy May!
I hope this finds you well as we move into a new month and into this new energy that’s already showing up in little ways. You may already feel these shifts happening as we approach the Mercury Retrograde beginning on the 10th. This retrograde will be with us through the entirety of the month and into the first two days of June.

I don’t like to focus on this time of year as something to be afraid of but I do like to prepare myself for the bumps that may come up during this time so that I can be set up for success to the best of my ability. As a highly sensitive person, (like yourself) I’ve found some common themes and experiences that can make themselves known during this time, almost like a cycle or pattern. I wanted to share some of the common symptoms I’ve found for myself as well as for others. I hope this will help to offer you some additional support so you can create a system that works for you as we move through this time together.

When we think about the Mercury Retrograde, it can be easy to get nervous about things like technology, communication, and potential blips or bumps in projects or travel. These are natural feelings as this cycle can impact these areas of our lives. There are often opportunities to focus on what I call the Re words as well, things like: review, revisit, restore, renew, replenish, rest, and relaxation. When we cultivate or create ways to lean into gentle support systems during this time, it can help to make it easier to move through this retrograde cycle.

I’ve also found some common physical symptoms that show up for myself and for other highly sensitive people. These may be things that you’ve experienced as well or maybe something that shows up for someone you love. Highly sensitive people can experience these physical symptoms and often think it’s just something they are experiencing, or that it’s connected to something else and they just can’t quite put their finger on it but they know something is out of balance. These symptoms can sometimes receive less coverage because not everyone experiences them during a retrograde cycle.

Symptoms can include but are not limited to:

• Bloating

• Tenderness in joints

• Increased skin sensitivity

• Feeling of cloudiness in thinking or being in a bit of a fog

• Exhaustion or Lethargy

• Low grade fever

• Low grade headache

• Feeling parched and needing more water than usual

• Sensitivity to foods and beverages, potential upset stomach even to foods and drinks you normally enjoy

• Food cravings for sugar, salt, and carbohydrates

• Sleep Challenges including insomnia and/or dream disturbances

• Needing more sleep than usual; including needing naps even if you aren’t someone who usually naps

• Increased emotional sensitivity

• Increased frustration or irritability

• Repeating thought loops

• Increased overwhelm in large groups or environments (grocery store etc.)

• Feeling drained when in social situations

• Increased sensitivity to lighting and noise

• Increased or heightened spiritual gifts and or connection with guides, angels, and departed loved ones

• Increased desire for quiet, calm, gentle environments and activities

• Increased desire to wear soft, comfortable, and loose fitting clothing

• Increased focus on self care, comfort, and self soothing

These are some of the symptoms that can show up for highly sensitive people. You may experience some or none of these symptoms but it can help to know that these symptoms are very real so that you can identify them if they show up. This can also help you to create a support system for yourself or someone you love.

The great news is that knowing what to expect allows us to prepare so we can experience a smoother and gentler retrograde cycle. There are some really easy yet impactful things that we can do to help make this time as supportive as possible. I’ve included some ideas for you below; by no means is this a be all end all list. Please use this as an inspiration so you can create and cultivate the personal support that is best for you and your loved ones.

• Place large leafed plant near the bed to help increase oxygen and clear you and your bedroom while you sleep

• Use a humidifier to increase oxygen while also soothing sensitive skin, scalp, and sinuses

• Use dimmers or gentle golden or low lighting. (Edison bulbs create a gentle golden glow and can be found at big box stores and online outlets.)

• Use a sound machine or gentle music to help soothe and calm the nervous system

• Sage or Smudge your home to clear any heavy or dense energies

• Edit or clear spaces near your bed so you can more easily rest

• Set out art supplies or other creative outlets so you can easily reach them

• Set out workout mats, tennis shoes, and workout equipment so you can easily reach them

• If you plan to work on your garden or plant a garden, find out what you’ll need so it will be easier to begin your garden project

• Treat yourself to your favorite tea, bath supplies, or cozy blanket

• Take a little time to back up your computer and other devices

• Have a little cash on hand in case there are any tech issues at the grocery store

• Have a little bit of extra food and water on hand in case you feel guided to avoid crowds and stay home due to your sensitivity level on any particular day

• Say no to extra demands on your personal time and energy to the best of your ability

• Make extra time for rest, quiet, and comfort

• Make time for meditation or spiritual practice

• Make time for reading for pleasure, listening to or playing music, or journaling

• Lean into activities that feel gentle to you; this can include watching your favorite movie while wearing comfy jammies.

• Take breaks throughout the day even if only for 3-5 minutes to get up and walk around and clear from your work and devices.

• Create room for more downtime and rest when and where you can to honor your body’s needs to the best of your ability

• Breathe, and go at your own pace

• Remember to ask for help if you need it

And…anything else that feels like a fit for you and that will support you in experiencing a more gentle and smooth retrograde cycle this month. I hope this helps to inspire and support you as we move through this time together. Remember, you don’t have to do all the things all the time, just do what feels right for you on any particular day and please give yourself grace. You’re doing amazing, and you’re not alone.

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

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.)

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
