The universe has been preparing abundance for you. Not as something you need to chase or earn. As something that flows to you naturally when you are open enough to receive it. Every frequency, every note, every whispered word was chosen to gently open your heart to the abundance that has always been yours. Simply breathe. Simply be still. Simply receive. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=j0b6Ddzae_U&list=RDj0b6Ddzae_U&start_radio=1&pp=oAcB&ra=m

Earlier today I was using iron on seam tape to put a flannel patch on the inside knee of a pair of dog walking jeans. The knee had just begun to fray on otherwise good jeans. The blue flannel was from lounge pants I cut one leg short for icing an old knee injury. As I was doing this, it was very satisfying. Those jeans will be good for a couple more years. I began to think of the many things I re-purpose. Clothes that get demoted to "dirty-work" but still get repaired. Containers used for storage in the shed. Plastic jugs I melt small holes in near the bottom so they will slowly water outdoor plants. Junk mail I use as casual math paper and lists. I began to realize just how many things I do that with. I then felt a warm thought from Mother Earth. Doing all that creates so much less trash. It prevents the need to buy certain things and reduces all that creating those things entails. Re-purposing really honors the Earth we live on. That brings me joy.

Ever notice how the more you try to stop a negative thought… the louder it gets? There’s a really great saying in the Tantric tradition that I’ve heard Christopher Wallis share: thoughts are not truths, they’re just tools. And yet, we tend to take them very seriously. We believe them, fight them, or try to get rid of them altogether, and that’s often what pulls us out of our power. A lot of people say, “Why would I invite a thought that tells me I’m not good enough into conversation with other parts of me? I want it gone.” But has trying to get rid of it ever worked? For most people, it hasn’t. What I’ve found is that a shift happens when you stop pushing those thoughts away and instead bring them in. You allow them into the home of your body, into the throne of your heart. You let them have a voice, and then you let them pass. Because the more you fight a voice, the more power you give it. And the more you ignore it, the more it becomes a shadow part of you. But when you acknowledge it when you say, “You’re welcome here,” it stops running the show. It becomes just one part of you, rather than the authority. We all have different voices inside of us. Some are supportive and expansive, telling us we’re capable and aligned. Others are critical and limiting, telling us we’re not enough or that we’ll fail. In somatic integration experiences, we don’t eliminate these voices; we change our relationship to them. When you stop going to war with yourself, your whole system shifts. You feel more grounded, more connected, and more in your power. Over time, the critical voices lose their intensity because they no longer hold the same authority. Even the harshest voice you have likely developed for a reason. At some point, it was trying to protect you, help you belong, or keep you safe in an environment where that mattered. When you begin to see it this way, there’s less need to fight it and more space to meet it with understanding. This is how you start to reclaim your wholeness. Not by becoming only the “positive” parts of yourself, but by making space for all of you and choosing, again and again, to come back to your power.

🌔 Waxing Gibbous Moon phase on Saturday, April 25 🌿 Spiritual meaning of THIS exact timing (very important) This isn’t random — the timing is actually very specific and powerful. 🌔 Waxing Gibbous = “Refinement & momentum phase” This phase is NOT about starting over (that’s New Moon energy).It’s about: - Adjusting your plan - Seeing what’s working vs not - Pushing forward with discipline - Closing the gap between effort and results Think: “I’ve already started — now I refine, commit, and intensify.” 🩸 You starting your period on THIS exact phase This is actually a non-typical alignment (and that’s meaningful). Normally: - Periods often align with New Moon (release, reset) But yours aligned with:👉 Waxing Gibbous (build + pressure + momentum) What this suggests energetically: - You’re not in a “reset cycle” - You’re in a “level-up through pressure” cycle - Your body is syncing with growth under tension This can feel like: - Restlessness - Urgency to change your life - “I need to get it together NOW” energy 🔥 How to recalibrate your schedule (based on THIS moon + your cycle) 1. You shouldn’t go ultra passive right now Even though it’s your period: - This phase supports structured action, not full retreat 👉 Translation: - Don’t disappear from your goals - But don’t go extreme either 2. The correct strategy for you right now: Think: “controlled discipline” Your optimal setup: - ✔ Keep your 20k steps (Zone 2) — perfect for this phase - ✔ Maintain your calorie deficit (but not chaotic restriction) - ✔ Focus on consistency over perfection 3. What to adjust (this is key) Waxing Gibbous = refinement phase So instead of asking: “What should I start?” Ask: “What needs tightening?” Examples: - Sleep timing → tighten it - Eating windows → stabilize them - Protein intake → hit it consistently - Hydration → fix it daily This phase rewards:👉 precision, not reinvention 4. Mental pattern to adopt This is the biggest message of this moon:
