New Moon in Aquarius & Chinese New Year of the Rooster

Inspiration everywhere. It's incredible how you can feel the shift in our daily encounter with the work people are putting out there. Looking at artists websites, blog posts and various popular culture a new level of creativity is being pulled forth. Important time to curate the inner and outer spaces of our lives. A few things worth taking note of:

• Local communities gatherings happening all over the United States (and the entire World) for fundraising and awareness efforts - like Healing Elements in Saint Paul, Minnesota >> Support Standing Rock or Full Circle Venice's #giveheart Campaign
  • Article from New York Times printed January 24, 2017 on Standing Rock
     
• Chani Nicholas Astrology for New Moon in Aquarius: We The People...
• London celebrating the Chinese New Year of the Rooster - beautiful photos via BBC
   
• Raw Patterns x tsii - Handmade jewelry w/guitar strings & crystals and block shirts from repurposed factory remnants by creator and musician Greta Melcher
   
• Metaphysical jams // Album highlights:  To Zion via Kala x Trevor Hall and Levo via Iffy x Reconcite 
   
• Wonder Valley Olive Oil w/a beautiful goddess label from Joshua Tree, California - from the November 2016 harvest w/limited quantities available
   
• These mini copper planters w/succulents x Julie Kostreva - an LA based designer and artist. She believes great design is beautiful, useful and playful. Also peek at her collaboration projects. 

Enjoy. Much peace, love and gratitude,

It's almost here. Bhakti Fest West in Joshua Tree, California is only a week away! As I've been gathering tools and gear for the sacred music, kirtan, yoga and general high vibration gathering - there are a few items that would be an up level in self-care for the experience:

• Bronchial Support Herbal Syrup x Banyan Botanicals: smooth combination of herbs in cherry bark to soothe the throat and keep kirtan and conversation up level
• Spirit Blend Essential Oil x Floracopeia: a sacred blend of palo santo, frankincense and sandalwood from this eco-responsible company enhances meditation
• Pine Pollen x Sun Potion: a heart chakra opener and pineal gland activator perfect for connecting with the universe and feeling your innate loving vibration

Also remember...

• Mala 
• Yoga mat for asana and meditation
• Journal for session notes or self-reflection
• Wisdom or tarot cards to share with others

Even if you won't be joining us in the desert, these are amazing tools for the sacred journeys of meditation, chanting and kirtan and general support for your daily spiritual practice. If you are planning on attending, there are still limited appointments available for Ayurvedic Integrative Massage, Radiant Heart Intuitive Sessions or CranioSacral Therapy with me at the Healing Sanctuary.

Much peace, love and gratitude to you beautiful being...
