This session went deep, honestly. Chanin opened with her Deck of Fears and something so fitting came through — the fear of being heard. Not just being seen, but actually being heard. Which felt almost poetic given the crystal spirit that also came through today was all about conscious awareness and clear expression of your truth. We also pulled the fear of pain — specifically emotional pain — and talked about how that fear so often keeps us silent. We zip our lips to avoid conflict, to avoid being hurt, to avoid hurting someone else. And that pattern quietly runs our relationships without us even realising it. Chanin then led us through a full energy clearing, moving through every chakra and releasing what came up: Root — scarcity thinking, financial instability, the feeling of not belonging or having a home Sacral — female wounds, guilt around wanting more, shame and embarrassment carried since girlhood Solar Plexus — powerlessness, feeling dismissed or unkind words from an authority figure, body image struggles, jealousy Heart — grief, regret, self-sacrifice, people pleasing, and the walls we build to protect ourselves from being hurt again Throat — every time we bit our tongue, stayed quiet to avoid conflict, or doubted we had anything wise to offer Third Eye — not trusting our intuition, not seeing ourselves clearly, old witch wounds around being dismissed for our intuitive gifts Crown — disconnection from our bodies, anger at the divine, indecisiveness and constantly seeking outside approval We closed with a really beautiful conversation about ancestral healing — how so many of the patterns we carry are not fully ours, but inherited. And the reminder that we do not always need to know exactly where something came from in order to release it. Sometimes it is enough to simply accept that it is there, and let it go. This month's theme across our sessions has really been about self discovery — self acceptance, self trust, self compassion, and finding the confidence to look inward instead of constantly looking outward for permission or approval.
