Blossoming into Oneness



Inward I journey, seeking the essence of myself. I open my being, a chalice ready to receive the blessings of oneness with the universal intelligence. Bathed in the present moment, I am fully aware, absorbing the nurturing essence of the cosmos. With grateful heart, I acknowledge the abundance – the safety, food, and water that sustain me. My spirit thrives on the symphony of wisdom that resonates from the universe.

Suspended between the divine within and the divine without, a genuine smile graces my lips. Unconditional love blossoms in my heart, its source the very core of my being. From this center, my strength flows freely, a wellspring of knowledge and purposeful action.

For a breath of eternity, I am liberated from worldly demands, free to focus and float in the knowing of this truth. Worthy and purposeful, I embrace the peace that lies in simply being, not doing. All around, the universe vibrates in its rhythmic dance. Though cycles may repeat, I choose to ascend, a spiral reaching ever upwards, evolving and growing. I experience a glimpse of transcending the endless wheel of recurrence.

Returning to myself, I am emboldened by renewed strength. The magnificence of the universe unfolds before me. My heart, like a radiant flower, blossoms with strength and compassion. My prayer, a melody of purposeful beauty, rises to the cosmos. The integrity of my being grants me the power to persevere. The harmony within fosters balance and equanimity.

I celebrate this heightened state of mindfulness, present not just in the realm of the material, but also in the essence of the spiritual. I feel the shift within, a blossoming from the material to the spiritual, and blessings flow towards me in an infinite stream.

~  A Delicate Dance: Where Logic Meets Zen ~



This morning, dawn’s gentle nudge awakened me, not just to the day, but to a recurring theme in my life: balance. It’s a captivating waltz, this interplay of logic and Zen, playing out in both my financial realm and physical being.

The financial arena, often portrayed as a chaotic jungle, surprises me with its hidden harmony. Money pirouettes, flowing in from one source, then gracefully twirling away to meet a need. But worry not, it always returns, a testament to living in sync with my values and aspirations. When my focus aligns with what truly matters, the financial dance seems to follow suit.

Beyond the realm of coin and commerce, I find myself drawn to the earth’s grounding embrace. Barefoot walks awaken a primal connection, while sun salutations energize me with the sun’s golden touch. These practices are more than mere exercise; they’re a balancing act, harmonizing my physical and emotional energies, leaving me feeling centered and anchored to the very planet beneath my feet.

As I ponder these seemingly disparate spheres, a beautiful connection emerges. Financial stability grants me the freedom to explore my physical and emotional well-being. Conversely, a balanced mind and body empower me to make sound financial decisions. It’s a captivating tango, logic and intuition intertwining to create a harmonious flow.

Suze Orman’s wisdom echoes: “Money is but a tool; its true value lies in how we wield it.” When used wisely and ethically, it becomes an instrument for crafting a life that sings in perfect harmony.

My journey towards balance continues, and with each step, I gather invaluable insights. As I remain steadfast in my values and goals, I know this dance will lead me to a life brimming with fulfillment and graceful balance.

~ Finding Balance, Grounded in Gratitude ~



Today I woke up overflowing with gratitude. Blessings, both tangible and intangible, arrived at the perfect moment. My tried-and-true formula for manifesting solutions felt validated once more, and an unexpected bonus: confirmation that practicing rune yoga barefoot actually benefits my health! These seemingly disparate events converged, painting a clear picture of balance – needs met, health on the rise, both interconnected.

This experience highlighted a profound truth: restoring balance is more powerful than chasing it. Shifting the fulcrum, seeking entirely new levels, can be challenging. It’s often easier to maintain a current state than embark on a complete overhaul.

But where does this balance begin? Our bodies, I believe, hold the key. They are our strongest connection to the physical world, the Earth itself. So, wouldn’t it make sense to first ensure our bodies are in balance before tackling our thoughts and emotions? A balanced body can serve as a sturdy foundation for mental and emotional harmony. Healing, then, becomes a journey towards restoring that equilibrium, bringing our being into tune.

This perspective sheds light on the power of practicing barefoot yoga. It necessitates stepping outside, forging a connection with nature, creating a space conducive to grounding ourselves. My newfound physical balance has translated into a surge of internal energy, a blossoming confidence. This resonates deeply with Odin’s wisdom: “Deeds shape with deeds into deeds” – each action, each step towards balance, builds upon the last.

I share this experience not just for personal reflection, but with the hope it might spark a new outlook, inspire others to seek balance in their own lives. As a Libra, I believe this is the gift I can offer the world – a reminder that even in the midst of change, seeking and restoring equilibrium can lead to a more fulfilling existence.

Phoenix Rising: Chaos to Serenity, My Sanctuary Reborn

~ Phoenix Rising: Chaos to Serenity, My Sanctuary Reborn ~



The sun peeks through my window, illuminating the chaos in my sacred space. Sunlight, a symbol of new beginnings, dances on the remnants of last year’s break-in, a stark reminder of the past. A memory lingering of unwelcome  guests forcing there way into my house with ill intent.

But instead of dwelling on the calamity of yesterday,I choose to see this as an opportunity for transformation. This “controlled chaos” holds the seeds of a Feng Shui haven, a space aligned with harmony and peace, both for myself and those who enter.

Yes, there are obstacles – clutter, lingering sentimental attachments. But instead of feeling overwhelmed, I feel energized. It’s time to let go, to practice non-attachment to material possessions. Each item I declutter is a step towards inner peace and spiritual growth. This chaos is the fertile ground for transformation, a blank canvas for Feng Shui magic!

With every donation, every throwaway I am not just sending out ripples of love, but  I’m creating space for clarity, meditation, and contemplation. This space will be a sanctuary for my soul, a fertile ground where my hopes for the future can blossom. Material possessions cannot replace internal peace and growth.

This future, I envision it filled with wisdom to guide my path, courage to act with integrity, and a heart overflowing with service to humanity. I no longer feel like I’m adrift in a storm, alone and lost. Instead, I stand in the calm center of my sacred space, my world aligning with my destiny. With every action, I uplift others, offering hope and a vision for a brighter future.

The new door, symbolic and literal, welcomes visitors and invites peace. I reclaim my sacred space, inviting welcomed guests to experience hospitality and a spirit of acceptance. Here they can enter and freely receive the sacred vibrations of peaceful beings.

This is my new dawn, a day filled with enthusiasm, purpose, and the power to manifest my dreams.

Gratitude in the Flow of Life


With a deep breath, I settle into the present moment. Gratitude washes over me as I acknowledge the blessings already present in my life. This well-being, this sense of peace, is a precious gift I choose to fully appreciate without clinging to it. As with all things, this feeling too will gently shift and change, reminding me of the impermanence of existence.

The edge of uncertainty exists alongside every moment, even during times of joy. Just as a sprawling lawn borders the unknown, shadows dance beside light. Yet, I choose to focus on the light, on the welcome respite offered by this peaceful moment. My whole being radiates appreciation for what is, for where I am.

True progress cannot be achieved while clinging to good or bad situations. Each circumstance, each experience, carries the potential for self-discovery, for becoming the best version of myself. I am grateful for the present, not despite its uncertainty, but because it allows me to explore and grow.

With this newfound clarity, I set my intention for the day. This intention fuels my actions, yet I remain patient, understanding that manifestation unfolds in its own time. I release myself from the need to control the outcome, trusting that even seemingly denied desires may be steps towards a greater good.

Fighting the world is futile. Instead, I lean into it with calm confidence, seeking my inner truth. My journey is to discover and become the best version of myself, not to force anything upon myself or the world. This is my sole task, nothing more, nothing less.

With each mindful breath, I embrace the present, grateful for the journey ahead.
