Liminal Space and The Unknown
We are journeying through a liminal space right now.
The liminal space is the middle journey and ‘Desert Terrain' I mention in my new book. It's a sacred place of transition, of unknownness, of temporariness, of in-between, of the chrysalis, and of coming closer, but not there just yet. It's where our transformation takes place.
It's our entry point to new beginnings. How divine?!! If we're not patient or mindful though, that this is a sacred place, we can judge it as a negative thing, and we rush and force ourselves out of the very process that has shown up to initiate our empowerment, up-leveling, higher potential, healing, and a new reality. Even when the liminal or desert process looks non-linear, loopy, or like a heart monitor, there is a way to master it.
Practicing self-love, self-compassion, self-care, spirit-care, accessing support, reflecting and learning from challenges and setbacks, thinking positively, and taking action to Vibrate Higher Daily and move onward where necessary, are all effective ways.
Allow your current process; your middle journey; your desert; your liminal space to take all the time it needs while you 'Live Your Power'.
In the book, chapter 2 helps you gain a deeper understanding of the current transition and life terrain you may be in, so that you're able to navigate through it or them, in your power. Learn how to rest into the process and allow what it has come to do–for you.
Words to ground into:
“Even on the days when it doesn’t feel like it or look like it, you are still growing.”
We are sending you light for your journey.
We are sending you our peace and our love.
Journey in grace and equanimity.
We trust that The Divine will always lead you;
Safely onto higher-vibrational ground.

Transmuting Fear Into Awareness
Fig 1.Transmutation | Tumblr
Live Your Power:
Through Awareness
As intuitive/empathic beings, some of us may have picked up on a significant shift coming, and here it is. And like many shifts and hard times that we’ve faced throughout our history, we come out better, stronger, and never the same.
Those who have gone through change and transformation in their lives or have done the work of deep inner-healing, know that it's not always easy, comfortable, or glamorous. As on a personal level, the vibration we carry through the changes we are experiencing, as a collective, is what will help us take control of how we show up for ourselves and others around us.
On an energetic and spiritual level, this time is a major reset and shift in the collective. To a large extent, even when it doesn't seem so, we’re being forced to be still at this moment, to allow things that are for our higher good to shift into place. A shift in awareness will enable us to transmute our fears so we can see beyond these tough times and know that we have the potential to make it out of this better than ever.
Words to ground into:
“As the alchemy is happening around you, just continue being a beacon and hold space for growth and transformation. Observe. Recognize. Stay in a state of higher inner-power.”
How can we move through this in our power?
spiritual practice
With everything that’s happening around us and in the world, it can be easy to shift into a fear-based reality. All of the projections, the growing scarcity, and the unknowingness of what will happen next can make it extremely easy to jump right into 'fight or flight' or survival mode. The whole planet is collectively stepping into the realm of the unknown. So please remember that you are not alone in this, on the days when it may feel like it.
Because we live in a world that's all about being in the know, uncertain times can be quite the adjustment, especially in the age of the internet, where we have instant access to information at our fingertips. Understandably, this is more than likely a triggering and sensitive time for many people, so if you find yourself in this space journey in grace.
During times like these where we may feel like we have no power or control, we can take our power back by vibrating higher and tapping into our higher potential. This potential energy guides us and assures that everything will work out for our higher good always. Vibrating higher allows us to take control of our own narratives and will enable us to oversee our own perspectives and even outcomes. But sometimes, the process of taking our power back requires us to first be still.
peace through the stillness
This time of social distancing and self-isolation is a great time to go deeper to build solid foundations within. A solid foundation under a house will protect it from collapsing when faced by a storm, an earthquake, or any other natural disaster. As vibrational beings, we work the same way. We require solid foundation too.
A solid foundation deep within will help us face obstacles with less fear and more awareness. This will help us take our power back at any moment and see the bigger picture above all. This space of self-isolation is also what we call in new book the 'Desert.' The Desert takes us out of comfort zones and into a new space that births an awakening of powerful sorts.
We are all being called into the Desert right now. How powerful!!
Transmutation
On a spiritual tip
There are always precautions in the physical and spiritual realm to be taken in not only times like these, but everyday life!! There are higher spiritual beings not only here to protect us but to guide us through these times, they're just a prayer away. These beings are better known as The Divine, our guardian angels, and spirit guides. The Divine wants us to stand strong and hold a spiritual stance that will not only protect us in the physical but the spiritual, most importantly; this is what high vibrational faith and belief are.
If you feel yourself becoming fearful and filled with emotions that don't make you feel joyful, stable, or secure, understand that we have all the tools within and around us to shift/transmute these vibrations into awareness. Even if that simply means asking for help from loved ones, a trusted source, or from The Divine realm.
You have sacred power deep within you, and around you, that's always ready to support and guide you. Fear not.
practices for protection,support and comfort:
Protection:
Keep your home cleansed energetically and physically.
Manage the vibrations that are coming into your home and psyche through media, conversation, and energy.
Take breaks from the news, social media, and all that causes you to feel low in vibrations.
The Divine Realm & Archangels
Pray to The Divine and the angels for protection and assistance, they're always ready to help us:
Pray to Archangel Michael or your guardian angel for protection and freedom from doubt and fear.
Pray to Archangel Chamuel to help ease any anxieties and bring inner peace. Also, you can ask this Archangel to help you overcome any obstacles and challenges you're facing.
Pray to Archangel Raphael to protect your health mentally, physically, and spiritually. Ask that Archangel Raphael guides you to make the right choices to help you boost your immune system.
Pray to your guardian angels, spirit guides, and/or the higher power of your faith. Ask that they help guide you through any time so that it will benefit you in all ways high vibrationally.
It’s important to be very specific on who you’re praying to and what you’re praying for! Always call on beings and energies that are in alignment with The Divine and your highest good.
Comfort/Support:
Although we can't be around each other physically, we can still connect with each other by building community virtually or by phone during this time of quarantine. Old school style!!
Find ways to bring yourself back to the present moment through meditation or through your favorite stillness, mindfulness, and spiritual practices.

in closing
Wherever you are, or find yourself quarantining, during this time know that you’re not alone. We’re all in this together. I pray that you’re able to journey in grace, your power, and awareness. May we all come out of this evolved and stronger than ever.
We will get through this, together!

Being Intentional in Intense Times
Fig 1. Intention | Tumblr
Live Your Power:
Be Intentional In Intense Times
With worldwide disinfecting going on to make cities safer, I find myself visualizing a world, that's also being disinfected: vibrationally and energetically.
Life is supposed to empower us and fortify us into higher, proper, and necessary action. So much going on in various directions, and we're feeling it deep. Spiritually, mentally, emotionally, energetically, physically, vibrationally, and for some, financially, there are side effects to living in this modern world right now. As there always has been.
Many of us are looking for our place, balance, purpose, way, peace, and power in it all. Whatever the real deal behind COVID–19 is, we are being called into alertness, as a result. Another [inner and outer] awakening is no doubt happening; it always does in times such as these. We see high vibrations and low vibrations at a tug of war, within or without, near and far. We're being called to rise into our higher potential on all levels, all the more.
Words to ground into:
“Keep your higher intentions in front of you, as they will light the way. ”
Remain Alert, Balanced, and Clean
As a spiritual practice
Keep a mindful and careful eye on what's happening around you while in public spaces. Stay security-minded. Remain alert. As best you can, keep a barrier of protection between yourself and public surfaces, machines, and devices. Wash your hands for 20 seconds on each side and surface to help keep the spread of germs under check, and to also be a kind and considerate human being.
Mindfulness, Compassion, and Equanimity
You may come across people who are in fear, anxious, and whose lives have been inconveniently affected and disoriented by the COVID-19 pandemic. Even if your life has not had any drastic or direct effects, remain compassionate and mindful that, unfortunately, that is not the case or reality for everyone on the planet.
Keep in mind that: stressed people–stress people, and hurt people–hurt people. Don’t take it personally.
When you're observantly mindful, you have more power to respond versus reacting off impulse and off-guardedness. Observe with equanimity and respond with it. Distinguish what's yours and what's someone else's vibration, stuff, stress, reality, and projections. From here, you can respond from compassion and equanimity, if a response is even necessary at all.
You Are Never Alone
You have sacred power deep within you, and around you, that's always ready to support and guide you. Fear not.
Spiritual-Health
Spiritually speaking, all things end up working for our good. But it's a whole other thing to feel like you're thriving– through periods of growth, shifts, transformation, and uncertainty – with purpose. Stay connected to what renews, strengthens, and charges your spirit. Daily spiritual practice is a must for me. It's my day to day foundation. Everything else is built upon it. My mind, body, and day feel vibrationally off until I lean in and turn towards my practice and Higher Power. Contemplate on what keeps your spirit anchored. Knowing this is essential during the good times, as well as during the uncertain weather of life.
Honor The Process
Wherever you find yourselves on this current journey, there's a process of being there and moving through it with higher vibrations, success, and with more purpose, joy, peace, and wisdom. As we stay aware that growth, shifts, and transformation are processes that meet us throughout our lives, we're more capable of overcoming them and vibrating higher as a result.
It becomes a vibrational art. That–you–can–master!!
Yes, yes, yes!! Most of the stagnation, settling, mistakes, bitterness, discontent, and unhappiness, we experience in life, is due to not honoring the process. Honoring the process is necessary for your elevation, advancement, breakthrough, and progress forward.
Keep your higher intentions in front of you, as they will light the way. Be encouraged and be blessed!!
We are sending you light for your journey.
We are sending you our peace and our love.
Journey in grace and equanimity.
We trust that The Divine will always lead you;
Safely onto higher-vibrational ground.

Nervous System Lean In
Fig 1. Lean In |Tumblr
Vibrate HIgher Daily:
Nervous System Lean In
Surviving the ebb and flow, vicissitudes, uncertainties, and wildness of life can be no joke. Until that is, you have a 'survival kit', to get you through, over, and beyond to the other side. Growth, expansion, shifts, and transformation are all essential to life (and the progressing and evolution of it). Personal growth, evolution, and change, are sometimes accompanied by growing pains, setbacks, unfamiliar times, and even wonkiness. And through its own transition, the world, experiences the same things.
No matter what got us here and what all’s at fault, here we are in the middle of it. While no one truly knows where this is going or for how long we will journey through uncertainty, I believe in the real force of vibrating higher daily, living our power, and journeying in grace, to carry us through and over. I believe in our soul’s resiliency. Now is the time to remain ‘doing the work’, and to allow all of the time we’ve spent growing, learning, in spiritual practice, in self-care, healing and raising our vibrations, to sustain us.
Anchor into what you’ve gloriously built for yourself. And live from there!!
So in the context of current times, I put together a 'survival kit' list for your nervous system, which is always responsible for processing your life and its experiences. Read on!!
Words to ground into:
“Supporting your nervous system through times of change and transformation is critical; it helps you return to your power.”
The Nervous System
As a Helper
The NS is our primary connection to this world and beyond it. It's what connects our mind, body, and spirit. The NS has 3 main functions: to receive, interpret, and to respond. When cultivated and listened to, it can become your own personal teacher and guide. Don't neglect or ignore it. Stay in tune with it, and it'll make sure you thrive and live your best life!!
Sympathetic Nervous System
Think survival mode, fight or flight, and response to danger. When we don't take time to seek equanimity, balance, calmness, and high vibrations in our life, we can live in a perpetual state of fight or flight. When this is the case, we remain far away from ourselves and from the true feelings of home, peace, security, and inner-thriving. Through mindfully nurturing and caring for yourself, you can triumphantly come back home to yourself.
Parasympathetic Nervous System
Think zen'd the heck out!! Or spiritual G!! No more fight or flight mode. Welcome back home to yourself!! This is the part of your NS that's able to take over to help you vibrate higher through whatever you find yourself facing and journeying through. It helps you live your power. The suggestions on this list, in one way or the other, all support the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system.
Spiritual Connection
Stay aligned and fortified spiritually. This allows you to stay anchored to a Higher Power that will not allow you to get lost in storms, waves, pain, and the ebb and flow of life. Daily spiritual-work in the early mornings is a powerful way to connect, ground, align with a higher power, and fortify. Check-in with yourself and The Divine for a spirit re-up midday and in the evenings as well. Take time to nurture this part of you that isn’t physical. Nothing supports the nervous system like a composed, nourished, strengthened, graceful, and refreshed spirit. Daily spiritual connection keeps you poised.
Supplements
Vitamin B12, Vitamin B complex, Vitamin C, and D12 help to restore emotional balance and support the immune system. Vitamin D12 is also great for creative energy, enhanced sleep quality, and for healthy respiratory function. A happy and healthy nervous system promotes a happy and healthy immune system.
Vitamin A is helpful to the respiratory system. Garlic is powerful and anti-viral. Olive leaf is also anti-viral.
Herbs For Stress, Anxiousness, Mental Clarity & Vitality
Sea Moss, Hawthorne, Lemon Balm, Kava, Valerian, Chamomile, Lavender, Rosemary, Cinnamon, Periwinkle, Maca, are amongst many great ones. Dr. Sebi’s Sea Moss changed my (entire) life when I was first seeking to take my power back, emotional and energy wise, back in 2008. Some of the adaptogens to support for the NS and healthy brain function and/or vitality are Ashwagandha, Reishi, Lion's Mane, Gota Kola, Rhodiola and Cordyceps. Each of these at some point have been aides on my day to day journey, and continue to be. They are staples in my kitchen and in many healthy kitchen out there, for a reason. These herbs and adaptogens can be used in tonics, teas, beverages, soups, broths, and other recipes, and for some, in organic pure oil form for aromatherapy and topical application. Start where and with what you can. No need to go out get all of these right away. I slowly built my wellness cupboard up, through lots of trial and testing. Explore to find what works best for you and your unique goals and concerns. Some days I’m led to work with only one herb, and on other days, a few or many. You’ll find your way!!
Flower Essences
Clematis flower essence brings you back home to yourself in times of stress, fear, or uncertainty. It helps you ground into your power and peace.
The Right Foods Support Your Nervous System
The right foods empower you!! Yes!! The wrong foods decrease NS and brain function and throw us all off balance, think: sugars, caffeine, chemicals, preservatives, enriched grains, artificial colors, low quality oils like vegetable and canola, and so on. The nervous system thrives on real food. Staples that are widely proved and approved are dark leafy greens, healthy proteins, healthy fats like avocados and avocado oil, root foods, minerals, and calming and stress relieving herbs like cinnamon, chamomile, ginger, and lavender. Explore with it. Enter the game-changing rabbit hole of of healing foods. Happy exploring!!
Somatic Healing
I share in my book that "the issues are in our tissues until we release them." We have a sympathetic nervous system that’s a pro at energetically holding onto things we experience, think, and feel.
As magnetic beings, we are absorbers of energy all day long. If we don't have a way to discharge unwanted energies, anxiousness, trauma, and stress from the body, it can turn into physical discomfort and sickness, known as somatic symptoms/stress. And most often, the illness cannot be 100% medically diagnosed or linked to any known ailment or disease, which is most frustrating to experience. Thus the somatic symptoms become a 'mystery illness' or misdiagnosed. This was the case for me, personally, and for so many others. Healing can happen, though; it did with me, as well as for others. And at times, somatic healing is an ongoing process for some. Which is well and ok. Let the healing process take all the time it needs.
Be intentional with yourself–as an energy magnet, highly sensitive, empath, and spiritual and human being.
Way to release/heal somatic stress: Somatic movement, exercises, and therapy break up stagnant energy in the body and help to release and remove trapped energies and emotions that are causing the somatic symptoms. Other healing has come through African dance and drumming (an ancient healing practice still in effect today), vocal exercises, detoxing, deep breathing, spiritual-healing, brain entrainment, subconscious reprogramming, psychotherapy, and various forms of meditation. Move it out!!
Turn Your Stress Into Movement and Sweat
Exercise and physical movement break up stress and stagnant energy in the body. Go for a walk, run, break a sweat, do deep breathing exercises, take a warm bath, sit in a sauna. Move it out. Sweat it out.
Discharge the Energy, Bathe Away Heavy Vibes
Salt is a powerful mineral to work with for energy cleansing!! Soaking in a [very] warm Epsom salt bath helps to draw out energy, stress, and impurities. Once you begin sweating, the powerful cleansing show begins!! 20 to 45 minutes is a good rule of thumb. Keep a towel for sweat and water to hydrate within arms reach. Add in your favorite essential oils and/or bathing teas and herbs. A few of my favorites to work with are ginger, eucalyptus, lavender, lemon balm, rose, and rosemary. Rinse off with a cool or cold shower to enhance the cleanse and to raise your vibration.
Lymphatic Care
The lymphatic system is your primary drainage system for removing toxins from the body. It and the immune system go hand and hand. A happy lymphatic system is a happy and healthy immune system.
By removing stagnant energy and toxins from the body, a healthy lymphatic system positively enhances and improves emotional health.
Some of the things that awaken your lymphatic system are: alternating between hot and cold water while showering, dry brushing, lymphatic massages, a liver detox, lemon water, movement/exercise/walking, castor oil packs, and lymphatic stimulant oils such as citrus and flower based oils.
Get It Out of Your Mind and Body
Free it. Let it out. Use journaling, writing, free-writing, free-recording, singing, chanting, or physical movement and dance (like no one’s watching) to release whatever 'it' represents to you.
Metaphorical Terrains and Weather
Our mental and emotional journey is a reflection of nature. There are mountains, oceans, deserts, fog, and storms. If you have my new book, Vibrate Higher Daily: Live Your Power, this section located in chapter 2 will help give you light, guidance, confidence, and language for navigating the current terrain and weather you find yourself journeying through.
Cheers to vibrating higher and living your power through even this!!
