not a fully formed thought but I really believe more and more in the idea that if your spirituality isn’t political - at least on some level - that it’s bypass

Calling all the spiritual girlies who have tried on the 5D/aliens/raise-your-vibration thing and then said “this is ~*not*~ for me 💕” and immediately started reading neuroscience articles and working w/ archetypes and getting into animism instead

This Sage plant says, “settle where you are, & take up space.”

(I barely paid attention to it and it’s just thriving where it is 🖤)

There’s an exact sun/pluto conjunction in Aquarius today (inauguration/MLK day) which is giving major impending revolution vibes, but the secret 2nd fun thing (for me) is that they’re ✨also✨forming an exact conjunction to my natal Saturn, so….. 1 like = 1 prayer, thank yewwwwww #astrology

Feeling stuck? Try touching some grass.

Research shows nature boosts creative thinking by up to 50%.

Your next big idea might be waiting for you in in park, not on tiktok.

Not all healing feels gentle. Sometimes, it hits like a snowstorm, tearing through everything before it clears.

Journal Prompt:

What’s the worst thing that could/would happen if I were gentle toward myself?

#innerwork #codependencyhealing
People who abused us growing up, while calling it "tough love" & telling us we invited the abuse w/ our behavior or attitude, did a specific kind of damage to our ability to trust & relate to ourselves w/ care. We're not born hating ourselves-- we learn it. We have to unlearn it.

How to do #shadowwork: A Brief Tutorial 🌚 (1/2)

Step 1: Think of a person that gives you major ick.

Step 2: Ask: “what about them repulses me?” (For best results, be maximally ruthless and judgemental)

Step 3: Ask yourself, where/how do I *also* do that (or its equivalent)?

For those who say they can’t feel their feelings: a question…..

You know the difference between when you gotta #1 vs #2 right?

Like, if you were out & about and The Feeling™️ strikes, you’d what’s coming.

Well, how?

How do you know?

(A: you’re f e e l i n g !!!!!!!)

Guilt says, “I did something wrong”

Shame says, “I AM wrong.”

2025 Intention: Find space to soften.

It’s hard to be soft when you’re scared and angry. It’s hard to be soft when the people around you are also scared and angry. All exist.

🌱 How can I soften to collect my energy back into myself?

Well, it starts with finding my feet, usually.
