    How Remembering Our Roots Beflowers our Authenticity

    This week’s post is sit-down with Reema Rachel, Wellness Tech Visionary and Founder of the HIRA Collective. I love how Reema shares her story: from FaceTime-ing her grand-uncle and chatting with her grandmother about health and Yoga, through the moments of experiencing non-integrous “spiritual” practices, and eventually building the tech behind HIRA (which means diamond in Hindi).Within our roots - be it family, past, experiences, ancestry, or culture - diamonds live. We talked about some difficult stuff: cultural appropriation, feeling safe to be seen in community spaces, showing up as we think we “should” (and moving through it), authenticity and accountability within and with others.Our conversation felt aligned with the current astrological themes. Today, the Full Moon illuminates Aquarius (innovation, community, technology), and Sun rests in Leo (self, authenticity, radiance from within). What does that mean in English? To me, it opens up some space between a deep desire for community and connection, alongside a desire to rely on a strong and robust sense of Self. In my life, this space has had a history of paradox where I choose one, or the other, not both. Happily, that’s been changing!This, and more is up for evaluation and reconstruction for us all, and it is something Reema gives voice, leadership and experience to.I truly hope you enjoy this episode!HIRA a tech platform which offers a range of rigorously vetted therapists and healers, who have done the work of tending to roots and ancestries of the human collective. I’m glad it exists!Note: This is not an advert for HIRA. I have not been compensated in any way. The views expressed her are personal. This is a public episode.

    Disposable Cups & the Descent into Underworld

    Thank you to everyone who tuned into my live video!Do you find yourself in the same patterns again and again, despite your good intentions and rational thinking?I have. One of mine started with a frustrated grip of a disposable coffee cup, when I had 8 reusable cups sitting comfortably in my kitchen cabinet at home.This Leo season, we are exploring different ways to reclaim lost parts of ourselves. In this video, I share about reclaiming what we bury in our inner or underworld. Warning: This is a strange one, so stay with me here. It’s starts of with eco-guilt (repeatedly forgetting my reusable coffee cup) and the story of the Akkadian/ Sumerian Goddess Inanna’s descent into the underworld.I learned that despite my best and purest intentions, the realities that I bury within me pour out in “small” and mundane ways, everyday. I got to see inner pollution, outside of me; and eventually, the clean-up as well.Even today, I love the morning coffee-walk to my local cafe. It is a small thing, but because it once hid big inner truths underneath, I appreciate my daily reminder:“For what is inside of you is what is outside, and the one who fashions you on the outside is the one who shaped the inside of you"— The Thunder: Perfect MindIf you are this is Meggan Watterson’s (feminine theologist and author) one-minute take on Inanna and her descent through the gates of judgement. Looking to Dive Deeper?A 4-week program is for women who...… know that there is more to them than the roles they play in life,… sense the incredible power and wisdom in their bodies, that they were never taught to listen to,… are reclaiming peace, health, pleasure and joy in their relationships—with self, others and their world,… are committed to basking in inner brilliance—loving life through loving themselves This is a public episode.

    Loving the Unloved Parts

    Thank you to everyone who tuned into my live video! Join me for my next live video in the app.Today’s video kicks off the Sun-kissed Leo season.I’ve been sitting with the feeling of authenticity, rather than what I think and how present. It reminded me of a practice that an energy healer prescribed to me many years ago—the practice of reintegrating previously discarded parts of the Self.I’ve shared it towards the end of the video.The first time I did this practice, I was continually guided by the healer to “feel” it. “I AM feeling!!!!” I replied firmly!She had to guide me down from my observer mind into my body.Turns out, she was right. In my hesitation and desire to avoid facing myself, I thought about the feelings and experienced avoidance, which I was feeling.It’s a subtle shift in the body. When you actually permit yourself to feel what you’ve been avoiding. The healer knew it. I knew it too.The practice is really simple; I think that’s what makes it profound.Accepting abandoned parts of ourselves is rough, and yet, this particular Leo season seems to offer support to those of us who desire experiencing our lives more authentically, more fully and more lovingly. If you did the practice and want to share how you felt…Looking to Dive Deeper?A 4-week program is for women who...… know that there is more to them than the roles they play in life,… sense the incredible power and wisdom in their bodies, that they were never taught to listen to,… are reclaiming peace, health, pleasure and joy in their relationships—with self, others and their world,… are committed to basking in inner brilliance—loving life through loving themselves This is a public episode.

    Celebration before Change - Elements of Ceremony

    Thank you to everyone who tuned into my live video! _________________________________________________________________________We are always changing — whether we want to or not. There are ways to meet changes with sweetness, gentleness and presence. In this final Cancer Season video, I explore the felt difference between routine and Ceremony, and the three main elements that make the latter a place where we can meet ourselves as we are.This week, we had the outer planet Uranus newly entering the air sign of Gemini, as well as the Full Moon in Capricorn. If Ceremony feels like medicine for you, then this is a gorgeous week to support and steady yourself, so that when the unexpected comes knocking, you have inner grace and capacity to meet it.Thanks for reading Connect the Dots!

    Intelligence of Ceremony

    Thank you to everyone who tuned into this week’s live video! _________________________________________________________________________When I first sat in Ceremony, I loved the part where the Elements and Directions were called in. Back then, in my newness, I felt like this act was profound but only related to it superficially; now there is a touch more depth and (hopefully) maturity. This week’s video explores the Intelligence of Ceremony through relationship with the elements. This intelligence is relational. It occurs from experiencing our interactions with the 4 elements, individually and as part of a living cycle of progression. The seasons and Western astrology follow the same elemental progression: Fire > Earth > Air > Water.The zodiac archetype of Cancer season is the the first (and cardinal) Water sign in the wheel. In terms of human consciousness, it initiates us into the raw experience of feeling what is present. In this video, I explore the medicine of relating to the water element during peak Summer; how it brings clarity, ease, and richness in our physical bodies of course, and also in our emotional, psychological and spiritual bodies; and how to hold ceremony to honour the Waters within and around us.

    Who Am I Around Others

    Working towards self-love and authenticity is certainly something that starts as a solo journey, but we need others to see and experience different parts of ourselves. Sitting in Ceremonies helped me with this in truly surprising and unexpected ways.Ceremonies are sacred containers, and what is sacred is different for each of us.Ceremonies are activated by powerful human dynamics—intention, will, action, receptivity, and so they work on us quietly and profoundly in unsuspecting ways. In today’s video, I share how sitting in Ceremonies helped me feel more of who I was, in relationship with others. As well, since today is the New Moon in Cancer, we are invited to come into real presence with whatever we are feeling right now.Let yourself sip on this invitation.Reclaim and reconnect with Connect the Dots.

    Summer Solstice - Rise of Ceremony

    Happy Summer Solstice & the start of Cancer season.The waters of Cancer relate to our emotional bodies, our need for nourishment, rest, comfort and nesting. This Solstice that feeling has been as strong as my desire to make plans, do things, organize life differently.All my opposite natures have come out to play!In today’s video I share both personal and astrological energies around this, along with the theme for this season—Ceremony.The more restless, complex and intense the world gets, the more I am finding stability in the infrastructure and connective nest of daily Ceremonies. Here is where we orient ourselves to what is true and real.It is how we call all parts of ourselves home, and drawn in to rest and nest.It is when we can accept what is in front of and within us with a mountain of support and guidance.Join me as we explore the liminal space of Ceremony in our lives over the weeks of Cancer season. I hope you will join me on our exploration through Cancer Season.Reclaim and reconnect with Connect the Dots. This is a public episode.

    Capacity to Communicate

    Communication is relational, sensory, and subtle. Today’s video explores how the complexity of every byte of information we take in with our sense organs as we navigate our day, and how it shapes our expression—verbal and non-verbal. In a way, how we communicate is the output of what we’ve taken in! * How do our environments imprint on our nervous system—and how to tell what’s truly ours vs. what we’ve absorbed and not yet processed* Do we have a process of mental digestion—how our thoughts and emotions are metabolized through our system, and ultimately expressed* What practices to help you with clarity and being present with what is, during times of mental overwhelmOur bodies know how to release what they no longer need through the digestion and elimination processes, which happen automatically without mental effort from us.Our minds, however require the same processes to compost old thoughts & beliefs, distill truths and direction, and eliminate mentalities that are wasteful. This is how we can make room for new thoughts and visions that give and support life. Aligning to Spring Winds of GeminiWith the Full Moon in Sagittarius (Gemini’s Opposite)* Gemini season stirs curiosity, duality, and the interplay of oppositional, yet complementary forces which animate life.* The Gemini-Sagittarius axis reminds us that communication is not just about speaking—it’s about listening, taking in, feeling into what’s reacting within us.* Mental integration invites balancing curiosity with clarity, and chatter with wisdom.

    Pixels of Perception

    This Week’s Invitation:Gemini—sign of the twins—invites us to become aware of how we perceive the world. The way we perceive our surroundings shapes our mind and, ultimately, how we communicate—and in this second week of this air sign, we’re reminded of how the flood of information (sensory, emotional, relational) impacts how we think, speak, and connect.If your mind has felt scattered or overwhelmed by too much input, this video is for you. Remember: you’re not essentially ‘off track’—you’re being shown where your filters and perceptions need some loving attention.In this video, we explore:* 🌬 How your sense organs feed your mind’s perceptions—and why that matters for authentic communication.* 🌱 The duality of your inner world: the divine and the mortal twin within.* 🌀 The flood of information (news, opinions, conversations) and how it can cloud your perception filter.* 🪞 The magic of stillness: practices to distill and process the noise so you can hear your original thoughts.Just like you have to clear your cache or cookies on your browser to make it run faster, our minds need similar clearing, so that our essential nature can speak through.✨ How to Align to the Winds of Gemini* Carve out time for stillness and reflection, so you can review what you’ve unconsciously absorbed through your day. This way you can let things go more quickly and tune into what’s truly aligned for you.* Attend to what you’re perceiving, and how you communicate—both with people, and even with AI language models (if that’s part of your everyday)—keeping in mind how the ‘mirror effect’ works.

    Textures Of Our Thoughts

    The energetic invitation of Gemini—a mental and air sign—is to become aware of the quality of our thoughts—where our thoughts are sourced from, how they scatter or loop, how that feels, and how they shape our choices.I’m noticing a certain windy quality on my thoughts—uncharacteristically all over the place, buzzing loudly and busily, but largely ungrounded. If you’re feeling restless or lost in thoughts, with looping repetitive thoughts, then this video is for you!* First, please know that mind restlessness is a characteristic of the Gemini season, and you are not ‘in the wrong’ necessarily for feeling that way. * Gemini season reveals our relationship to our thoughts. So, if you’re experiencing overwhelm, stuck repetitive (almost addictive) thoughts, listless or distracted in the mind, this video has some practical tips for you.* A little reminder that tending to your mental body is as important as tending to your physical one. I’ve also included an alignment technique from an old Ayurvedic teaching that I’ve been working with recently. This Gemini season offers a chance to meet our minds with curiosity and compassion, in a way brings coherence to the whirlwind we may be experiencing.✨ Aligning to The Spring Winds of Gemini* New Moon, Sun, and Mercury in Gemini: These energies amplify mental activity curiosity, problem-solving, flexibility, and the need to sort what’s truly aligned. While this can be very inspiring and creative, it can easily overwhelm our nerves and emotions. * Saturn in Aries: This is a fresh 27-year Saturn cycle. One of the invitation is to check-in and see if our thoughts are rooted in a healthy, sovereignty, robust sense of self and healthy personal power. Whatever you are experiencing this season, these are gateways for aligning mind, body, and soul, if we choose it! This is a public episode.

    Relational Harmony with Maple 🍁

    Thanks for joining me live!Taurus season draws to a close, and this week’s video invites you into a deeper exploration of relational harmony as a living, breathing practice.In relationships we are often used to performing, creating façades, having uncommunicated expectations, and avoiding being present with ourselves (and by extension our environments and others).Drawing on the medicine of Maple, we get to reflect on what it means to nourish and tend to relationships with presence and care, much like one would tend a tree throughout the seasons, not just when it's time to receive its sappy sweetness.✨ When You Choose the Beauty Way, You:* Learn to trust the pace and intelligence of your healing* Let love be rooted in reality, not performance or perfection* The difference between consuming connection and cultivating itThank you for subscribing to Connect the Dots this Taurus Season, where we grounded in The Beauty Way.

    The Beauty Way: Braiding Mysteries with Sweetgrass

    Note: I just went LIVE for the first time! Thank you to everyone who tuned in. This is the recording (the video format is different from what it usually is).This week, The Beauty Way reminds us that braiding mysteries (holding space for what we do now know) actually strengthens us. How can that be?!?!?!As children, most of us probably remember the feeling of discovering the world curiously and playfully. At that time, “not knowing” was a doorway. This video explores the integrative medicine of Sweetgrass (also called Hair of the Mother) as we develop relationship with the unknown. The unknown, and what is mysterious to us can be something we investigate logically, or something to conquer, or avoid. It is also something we can let be at times, so that is softens us into courage and curiosity. This is where we develop layers of resilience and attunements in our subtle bodies. The upcoming Full Moon in Scorpio (on Monday, May 12th) follows Mother’s Day (on Sunday the 11th), which is a beautiful time to allow the mysteries of our human existence to soften us instead of diminishing our sense of self or energy.In today’s video, you’ll sip on:* How Sweetgrass teaches us to soften into Mysteries, as a way to honour them* The threefold braid of what is manifest, un-manifest, and the human who holds both* The notion of shifting internal gears from our “doing” nature to “being” nature* How to experience your own presence lovingly, even when you can’t solve or fix something.* Letting mystery strengthen your presence and sense of selfNote: Sweetgrass is a sacred plant medicine on the Native Medicine Wheel. If you are purchasing, foraging and working with any medicine, please do so with reverence, in alignment with the Honourable Harvest.When You Choose the Beauty Way, You✨ Reduce grasping for answers, and let yourself form a relationship with the unknown (the birthplace of all creation) ✨ Remember that strength includes knowing yourself in certainty and uncertainty ✨ Can integrate body, mind, and spirit in quiet harmony✨ Root into being-ness, and find your power not in what you do, but in who you areSubscribe to Connect the Dots and touch ground with the Beauty Way this Taurus Season.

    The Beauty Way: Roots in the Storm

    The more chaotic and pressure-filled the world outside gets, our invitation is into the stillness and quietude.Taurus Season, the first Earth sign in the new wheel of the Zodiac. If Aries was our Creative Spark, Taurus is the soil that receives the seeds of what we are growing. Being a Venus-ruled sign, Taurus is about relationships and connectivity to the material—our bodies, the Earth, and to the ebbs and flows of our own being.This season, we’re walking The Beauty Way—a path stitched with Yin/ Feminine wisdom that cultivates harmony, receptivity and and sacred relationship with the living world, within and around us.This week, we have the New Moon in Taurus, and today’s video weaves in one of the the tenants of the Beauty Way—harmony with our environment—through the medicine of the Rose bush.

    Lamentation & Doubt—Part of the Magic!

    Alright, you’ve all felt this as I have right? Stuck, doubtful, or like nothing you're doing or creating matters, that feeling of drudgery as one mundane day bleeds into the next. Today’s video is NOT about ‘fixing’ that. Watch and let yourself:* Learn why doubt, frustration, and/or creative blocks are natural phases of the creative process* Embrace where you are right now; and how the ‘artist’s lament’ helped me see the chronic roots of my doubt. * Feel into what it, instead of forcing yourself* Practice radical acceptance (a 3-step process) to move through emotional lows with compassionIt’s crazy how sometimes the most radical thing we can do in the moment is letting ourselves be exactly as are in the moment. This inner permission is so transformative, because it shifts us out of “fight” and “resistance” and helps us with sustainability in our creative process. As we shift into Taurus season next week, we are invited to bring our creatives fires (of Aries) to ground (Taurus). This is where we choose when, how, where and what to plant so we can start our cultivation process.Did you try the ‘artist’s lament’ or your version of it? Share your experience—it’ll be fun!

    The Lie of Success Metrics

    We set measurable goals, we work toward them, and often… we actually reach them!Then what?I have chased the imagined feelings of achieving my metric-based goals. But my own history shows me, that when I reach them, I don’t feel those feelings. Instead, I just move onto the next project or expand my goal. In this video, you can reflect on:* How much of your creative process, and your enjoyment is shaped by metrics of success * The awkwardness of achieving a goal absent authentic feeling, only to realize it wasn’t your true goal* The right placement of success metrics in our creative process* How your measures of success form your identity, how you view the world, other people and situationsMy numeric goals pulled me out of my natural curiosity, and I started to overcomplicate the whole process for myself. Simplicity is part of the medicine here, which supports longevity of legacy in what we are creating. This kept me spiralling within in a problem-consciousness mind-set.

    Break the Burnout Cycle

    Chronic burnout and exhaustion are standard and accepted states of being. It is considered normal.It is not. It is not a happy or sustainable way to move through our days and weeks.When I found myself in this place, I realized that my creative process was misaligned from who I actually was. In refining my creative process I now include two essential elements that help break the burnout cycle. They sound ‘woo-woo’, so, listen on for these two elements can practical support the creative process. They also:* bring me back to neutrality when I have emotional ups and downs (doubt, judgement, comparison, insecurity, arrogance etc.)* give me juicy nuances that I can reflect on, and adjusting or pivot as needed (so that I create from neutrality, not emotionality or attachments)* allow me to communicate with confidence, when I’m ready to (without getting defensive)* help me flow with creative energy, rather than force it (“I need it to happen NOW!!!”To me, this is less about achieving mind-created (often, societally-informed) goals, and more about encouraging us to find our way back to the spark that made us start in the first place, and sustain it for as long as required.New Here?Welcome!

    The Missing Piece in Your Creative Process... You!

    Traditional advice on ‘how to manifest your dreams’ has not always worked for me. It has worked sometimes, and made me feel great; other times, it has crashed!Eventually, after a lot of trial and error, I figured out why! This video explores my more sustainable, and personalized approach to creative processes.🔹 Clear Space First – Creativity thrives when we release unfinished projects, old habits, and mental clutter.🔹 Goals vs. Intentions – Instead of fixating on numbers (e.g., 500 subscribers), focus on generating value and meaning in your work.🔹 Authenticity Over Comparison – Looking at others can spark inspiration, but too much can lead to self-judgment and distraction, as it did with me! 🔹 Align With the Season – This Aries season + the Solar Eclipse create a powerful time to clear out and ignite your creative endeavours, whatever they may be. 🔹 Does Your Process Sustain You? – True creativity energizes us,. You heard right: your creative process has the power to sustain you, just as much as you sustain it. It is a beautiful reciprocal relationship, and it is only possible when you make the ‘textbook’ manifestation process, truly and sustainably yours! Feel into what you are creating in your life already (or, what you want to create, but haven’t started). The example I’m moving through is my desire to improve my Substack publication, and get more subscribers (which means people value my work).Join me, as I share my downs and realizations in navigating my creative process—which does actually work for me, when I’m not in my own way!

    Intimacy of Opposites & Immovable Truths

    Congratulations friends, we made it through the seas of our inner unknowing-ness and formlessness (Pisces season)! Huzzah!!!I know 12 videos this month was a lot, but what can I say… there is a lot happening and going to unfold as we move through 2025, so I hope this series supported your through what is rising within you. One fun little reminder: over the coming months, as the Sun transits a zodiac sign, you can return to this series and find the video of the Moon transiting the same sign. It’s a great way to acknowledge how much you’ve grown, expanded or released! This is the last video of Pisces season, with the Moon transiting the sign of Libra, which desires a synthesis of opposites by honouring opposing polarities. Libra often points to relationships that orbit us closely, such as intimate partnerships and those we consider oppositional (enemies).A timeless expression of Libra energy is Mahatma Gandhi’s Satyagraha movement—being anchored in an immovable truth within—and relating to the world from that place.As you reflect on this past month, as it relates to how you navigate change, uncertainty or aspects of the future in your life, what themes emerged for you?

    The Master Creator

    Our journey through Pisces season comes to its pinnacle today when the Moon is in full illumination in the sign of Virgo. Today is also a Lunar Eclipse—when the shadow of the Earth falls on the face of the Moon. Virgo and Pisces are polar opposites. While Pisces is…Formlessness, the Dream, and Dissolving Separation (into the ocean of Oneness)Virgo is…Form, the Doing, and Refining our Master-craft.There is a brilliant story in today’s video about the Master Michelangelo, which embodies the archetype of this Virgo Full Moon beautifully.And, as we are coming to the end of Pisces season 2025, I will share this: 2025 is a massive opportunity for each of us to evolve how we create and care for the Self. Each of the 12 videos created in this Navigating Formlessness theme is an energetic seed for the rest of the year. I shared the energies of the Moon transiting each of the signs. Later in the year, when the Sun transits the same signs, you may find that the theme we explores ripples out in all directions. As such, through the year, you can always come back to videos that resonate!I AM | Spring Equinox CeremonyThis Spring Equinox is sandwiched between the Virgo Lunar Eclipse (March 13/14th) and the Aries Solar Eclipse (March 29th).My fellow Priestess Maureen Rose and I are hosting an in-person Women’s Circle & Ceremony on Sunday March 23rd in Toronto, Canada.In line with the Cosmic and Earth energies, we invite you into a ceremonial container to embody and live you I AM Creator Presence.DM me with questions about the event.Journey With Your Stars This is a public episode.

    The Marriage of Love & Will

    To recap… we’ve been journeying through Pisces season and getting friendly with Formlessness—as an aspect of Creation. In the last video, we explored receptivity and nourishment while the Moon moved through the watery sign of Cancer. This energy is required if we desire manifesting our Essential Will through inspired action, and that is the energy of Leo.The Moon in Leo can feel uncomfortable emotionally, and yet its gift is the inner marriage of Absolute Love and Inspired Action that materializes into the enjoyment of our awesome creations. Coming Up… in a few days there will be a Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Virgo. So, if things feel more intense than usual…… take a breath… come back to any of these videos that resonate with you… give yourself some time and space to unfurlNourish yourself, before you make your next choices or decisions.I AM | Spring Equinox Ceremony This Spring Equinox is sandwiched between the Virgo Lunar Eclipse (March 13/14th) and the Aries Solar Eclipse (March 29th).My fellow Priestess Maureen Rose and I are hosting an in-person Women’s Circle & Ceremony on Sunday March 23rd in Toronto, Canada.In line with the Cosmic and Earth energies, we invite you into a ceremonial container to embody and live you I AM Creator Presence.DM me with questions about the event.Want to Dive Deeper with Me?

    Be Nourished by Receptivity

    The mental, psychological and emotional exhaustion a lot of us feel, comes from our practices of over-thinking and over-doing; which is another way of saying that we are not great at receiving restoration, and nourishment that regenerates us.The Moon in Cancer over the next couple of nights, while the Sun is in Pisces (both water signs), supports our deep nourishment. We can only truly be nourished when we accept and harmonize with all aspects of ourselves, which was the invitation a few days ago, when the Moon was in Gemini.So, what nourishes you?The scent of a particular fragrance?Organizing your closet?Curling up with your pet?Cooking a meal with your beloved?A nap?And could you sip this nourishment into your bones and cells for a few minutes?How do you feel?I AM | Spring Equinox Ceremony This Spring Equinox is sandwiched between the Virgo Lunar Eclipse (March 13/14th) and the Aries Solar Eclipse (March 29th).My fellow Priestess Maureen Rose and I are hosting an in-person Women’s Circle & Ceremony on Sunday March 23rd in Toronto, Canada.In line with the Cosmic and Earth energies, we invite you into a ceremonial container to embody and live you I AM Creator Presence.DM me with questions about the event.Want to Dive Deeper with Me?

    Harmony from Owning All Our Faces

    Why have we been following the zodiacal guidance of the Moon through through Pisces season?Because the like many wise ancient cultures, we are choosing to harmonize with cosmic frequencies, so that we can stabilize internally through times of great change.The Moon’s energy archetype is introspective, reflective and by nature tuned to rhythm of change and cycles. So when the Moon moves through the zodiac signs, every ~2.5 days, we receive insight on how we are flowing (or not) with our own natural rhythms. The art of self-questioning (rather than doubt) is a trait of the Gemini archetype. While the Moon is transiting this sign, our mental activity is high and we can easily get seduced by our thoughts, projections and beliefs. The gift of Moon transiting Gemini, is the invitation of harmony between our heart and minds, as well as our Soul and personality.I AM | Spring Equinox Ceremony | Prep for Aries SeasonThis Spring Equinox is sandwiched between the Virgo Lunar Eclipse (March 13/14th) and the Aries Solar Eclipse (March 29th).My fellow Priestess Maureen Rose and I are hosting an in-person Women’s Circle & Ceremony on Sunday March 23rd in Toronto, Canada.In line with the Cosmic and Earth energies, we invite you into a ceremonial container to embody and live you I AM Creator Presence.

    Aligning Beauty with Responsibility

    We’ve been following the zodiacal guidance of the Moon—the celestial archetype of our unconscious, our hidden motivations and our past programs—through this 2025 Pisces Season. Today, we are at the halfway point, with the Moon transiting through Taurus, which lies opposite to Scorpio, which is where we started our journey through Formlessness a few weeks ago.Scorpio was about coming into right relationship with our emotions, and today as the Moon transits Taurus, we get to see how our emotions power our ability and intention to exchange energies.Want to Dive Deeper with Me?

    The Waters of Healing & Realization

    The element of water is often related to our emotions. It is also the element of deep connectivity where we realize our healing—both personal and collective.On the New Moon in Pisces, every one of us has the opportunity to align our inner waters with the waters of our world. My favourite Moon in Pisces activity is to draw myself a bath. Lit by only a candle, I often speak out what I am carrying that I want to let go off, and do some breath release practices.

    Solutions Birthed through the Union of Consciousness & Matter

    Our problems and dramas are created through a fragmented or disjointed view of Creation and our place in it.New Earth solutions that are unifying, compassionate and healing come from celebrating union within us.The festival I mentioned in the video is called MahaShivratri, which falls as the Moon transits Aquarius today.

    Being Stewards of Our Bodies

    We can’t control or adjust what is pre-conscious.We we can do is be open, willing and build awareness to tune-into subtle messages, especially as they manifest through the physical body or our physical environments.

    Learning to Navigate Formlessness—Power & Emotions

    Through 2025’s Pisces Season, we are journeying through Formlessness, the unseen and unknown depths of our pre-consciousness. Formlessness, like manifestation, is an aspect of Creation. We need to be in right relationship with it.Why?Because on the path of self-liberation, we need to learn radical acceptance of what we cannot know and control.To this end, we are following the zodiacal guidance of the Moon—the celestial archetype of our unconscious, our hidden motivations and our past programs—over these weeks of Pisces. Since the Moon moves through the signs every ~2.5 days, that’s the schedule of the videos this month—there will be 12 in total.I invite you on this journey to relate to the rhythms of our unconscious, anew. This series through Formlessness (while the Sun is in Pisces) starts with the Moon in Scorpio which is all about being in right relationship to our emotions. When we revel in our depths, we learn to establish a new paradigm of self-power, which is massively liberating!Want to Dive Deeper with Me? This is a public episode.

    Illumination & Dissolution

    From Aquarius…We are coming to the end of the Inner Revolution journey, through the weeks of Aquarius season, and transitioning into the cosmic waters of Pisces. Though the Sun is shifting signs, the revolution to tune-into our inner guide, our temple or monastery within is still very much alive. The last petal or gateway, as I understand on the path of the Quantum Human is Ascension. When we effortless exist and radiate the essence that we are. I have only ever touched this in moments, so my personal experience is limited.We do hear about this often from books, courses, Spiritual masters who have left behind teachings that we desperately try to interpret and achieve. This week, with the Sun, Mercury and Neptune in Pisces, we may be able to touch into these illuminated places beyond ourselves, even if it is just for a few moments. …Into PiscesTo support our continued work on self-liberation, we are going to go on a gentle excursion into the unconscious ocean currents of Pisces, into the unknown and the hidden within us. While the Sun is in a zodiac constellation for about 4 weeks, the Moon shifts signs every ~2.5 days. When the Moon (our deep and subconscious desires, our past and our hidden agendas) move through the signs in Pisces, it can be a surprisingly fun journey. Like being on a boat with a glass bottom, out in the sea, on a full moon night. We can safely look through at what is happening under the surface. And the best part is, you already got tickets to the boat-ride!Until next time!More about the Quantum TempleJoin me on Insight TimerExplore the relationship between Technology and Consciousness in your life!Catch LIVE Replays here.

    Dawn After the Dark Night

    Dark nights and deep awakenings may seem eternal, but they do have an end. All things do.With the Sun (our conscious mind) still moving through Aquarius, this week we have the Moon (our unconscious) burning brightly in Leo (our Soul’s creative pursuits), which is Aquarius’s opposite. This firey Leo energy brings in a period of risk, sprouting and growth. I call this the Acceleration phase on the journey within to the inner Quantum Temple.Trust is key here.This video explore the joys and pitfalls of this third petal—liberation, vitality, synchronicities on the lighter side, and arrogance, judgement and rigidity on the heavier side.

    "I want to, but I don't want to...!"

    This week we are feeling into the second petal or gateway into the Quantum Human.We move from the firey Activation place, to the the earth and soil of our being, in the phase of Sustained Awakening.Coming to ground, deepening into the soil and rooting into our present reality, in our body is often challenging for the mind and the personality. Yet, we only ever enjoy true liberation, when we have strong, deep, connective roots.In this phase, we are healing our roots, and in fact growing them so that they sustain us. In this video I explore challenges and traps commonly felt, as well as the great beauty and exquisite medicine that lies here. Moving through our resistance and distractions requires resolve, practice, commitment, patience and a marriage between our will-centre and our capacity to love.A reminder that thee phases into our Inner Quantum Temple are not steps on a ladder that our personality can climb. They are not achievements. They are ways of coming to be as we spiral our consciousness into our Essential Self.How is message this sitting for you?

    Activating the Inner Revolution

    Today, joining the Sun and Pluto in sign of the water-bearer, is Mercury and the New Moon.This can feel like a lot of mental energy—wild new thoughts, atypical solutions to problems we’ve had for a while, sudden and unexpected synchronicities—all of which sound like a good time. Excess mental energy, which is always in it’s activated state does burn out, cause over-thinking, and a slow detachment from our feelings, our body and our lived reality.The first petal to the Quantum Human within we are exploring is the phase of Activation.

    Starting an Inner Revolution

    As the Sun and Pluto start their journey in the sign of Aquarius, we are inviting in the energies of the Inner Revolution.I call this the Quantum Human, or living as the Quantum Self, where the decisions and direction in our lives comes more from our inner knowing authority, rather than the chaos of the outer world.The way through, is in.And the way in, is a bit of an unfolding spiral (because that is far more interesting).Through the weeks of the Aquarius season we will explore the petals of our inner journey to the Quantum Temple within, what they look and feel like. This helps us build stronger and more refined awareness of the Self, and allows us more space, boundaries and compassion with Others.Think of it as your own hero/heroine’s journey to the seat of your Essential Self.More about the Quantum TempleJoin me on Insight TimerExplore the relationship between Technology and Consciousness in your life!My next free LIVE is on Monday Jan 27th at 4pm.

    'It hasn't happened yet!'

    We all want to manifest our desires and dreams and live as powerful, awesome Creators! But when we dream, intend and action things, and they don’t happen as time passes, what happens to all our creative, infinite energy? Time is one of the three dimensions we get to learn and play with, as part of 3D reality (the other two being space and matter). In exploring this relationship, we get to see who we are and what our operating reality is. We also get to see what aspects of our consciousness our desires serve—love or fear, ego or soul, choice or fatalism, separation or unity. This video pulls in the current Saturn and Mars transits to help us navigate Capricorn season with greater self-truth and self-revelation, so we can support ourselves with right choices during the lulls of the Creative Process. May it encourage you to play with the textures of time in your day, intentionally and delightfully.Connect the Dots is a reader-supported publication.

    Our Relationship to Time, Sets Our Truths

    The New Moon in Capricorn opens up a little contemplation of our relationship and experience with time, especially with the coming to 2025.In this video I share a short passage from a Alan Lightman’s Einstein’s Dreams.Capricorn energy is often felt as heavily material, obvious, and 3D. Its metaphysical aspects are usually hidden just behind. So it is with our relationship with time, which may seem superficial, but is so much more. It sets the foundation for our relationship with our truths, as we live them, and our experience of reality.“Where the two times meet, desperation. Where the two times go their separate ways, contentment. For, miraculously, a barrister, a nurse, a baker can make a world in either time, but not in both times. Each time is true, but the truths are not the same.”― Alan Lightman, Einstein’s DreamsWhich themes should Connect the Dots explore more of in 2025? This is a public episode.

    Bridging What Is Separate

    The Gemini Full Moon is on December 15th. 2024. It’s a truly delightful invitation we receive from the Universe to bring our higher and lower minds into coherence, through the transformational practice of Allowance. Separating our spiritual self, activities and perspectives from those are not, requires that build walls of separation in our minds. The Mystic within us delights in what is temporarily perceived as fragmented and loves it back into Oneness.There is an air of lightness and joy during this lunation.

    "Why Has God Abandoned Us!"

    In exploring Mysticism, we eventually have to face Great Mysteries, and the roots of our deep-seated, often ancient beliefs and patterns that lie there. One such root I had to face is the abandonment of a Higher Power that I felt. In this video I share the emotional journey of my experience with this, the process of acceptance and Alchemy, and bridging consciousness between problem/ lower self and solution/ Higher Self.“You are not a pawn in the chess-game of life, you are the mover of the pieces".-White Eagle This is a public episode.

    Alchemizing Frustration | Coming to Truth & Power Within | Liberation

    I did a LIVE podcast on the Full Moon in Taurus which I’m thrilled to share here, because it gives a practical lived experience of the concepts we’ve been exploring here in Connect the Dots. I open with my general love of alchemy and how I use it to navigate emotional reality in the moment. The emotive doorway I talk about is frustration, annoyance and irritation, which is very prevalent these days. I walk through the alchemical sequence of what it was like to come to my inner truth, which though uncomfortable, was a place of power-within, and the energy it liberated.

    Where Power Lies Across Time

    I re-started online dating some weeks ago. It is often not a place that feels particularly powerful. For me, my past with dating held the template where power lay solely with my needs and wants. After a while, it evolved and started to lie with other people (whether they wanted it or not). I built up compensation mechanisms for that lack of self-power in bizarre ways.When I think about an upcoming date now, it is crystal clear to me where my power lies—outside me or within. This has helped me navigate my return to presence where my, and in fact all our incredible and infinite power truly lies.This weekend, we are massively helped by the Full Moon in Taurus, as we come to stand in our resourcefulness and resilience to balance us out. Scorpio season (when the Sun is in Scorpio) continues for another week, but for now, let’s enjoy the place where we stand today, and feel into everything we truly have. This is a public episode.

    Releasing Projections & Pulling Our Power Back

    I’ve been dating for the last few months and have felt disinterest, short-lived excitement and frustrations. This led me to face some inner truths, especially around wounding and projecting on others.This is what I learned: when the locus of our power stems from our need, our lack and unmet desire, it has complete power over us. When we project this on others, they often fail to meet our expectations and/or they exercise power over us (which we gave them). Everyone involved feels the weight, falseness and general dissonance of this.In this episode, I share my revelation, and what was involved in this learning of power-within, and the lightness of liberating both myself and others!

    On Honouring the Dead and Our Ancestors

    I got some comments and questions on Honouring the Dead and our Ancestors. I appreciate your questions and your shares, thank you! I decided to dropping a little video about how I’m moving with this.November 1st is Th Day of the Dead and Samhain. Across cultures there are thousands of vibrant festivals, water or fire rituals and, somber prayer practices enacted this time of year to prepare us for the darker half of the year (i.e. shorter days, harvest’s end, winter’s coming). There is wisdom in this preparation, and so I'll share my little practices through the week leading up to November 1st. This is the song I mentioned in the video, which is serving as my background soundscape to my practices. Thanks for reading Connect the Dots! This post is public so feel free to share it.

    Living Our Power—Learning from the Scorpion, the Snake & the Phoenix

    This video starts with a small honouring to our Ancestors, the ones who have walked before us. I share this because when we accept where we have come from, we get to know who we are and can make more empowered choices on where we want to go.We then move into the power and transformation animal archetypes to help us figure out where we are sourcing our power from, and how it moves through us in different life scenarios, at these different (not bad) levels of consciousness.

I share some ways we can recognize when we are reacting or acting from this place, and how to leverage the trinity of Truth, Power and Transformation to shift the paradigm to the Power-Within dynamic.

    Blending Opposites: The Path of (Libra) Initiation

    In this episode of Connect the Dots, we explore one of the paths of initiation for the Libra archetype through the Ancient Greek myth of Tiresias—a blind prophet who was known across the realms as a true diplomat and peace-maker. Our story looks at how he came to be this way, through the blending of oppositional forces. We then move into what comes after ‘merging’, which is individuation. We cannot stay merged in a static format. We dance the dance of balance, separating after coming together, and coming together after separating. This is the reminder of the Aries Full Moon, and we are helped by the “broom star” Atlas—the comet, with myths of its own helping us cast some light upon the darker edges of our unconscious.
