Picture by: Karen Estepa - Calm & Clear Chest Herbs (my own recipe) - A never-ending cough is supposedly going around our area. We did have a cough in our household - but it only lasted a few days. We used these herbs to make an herbal tea (tisane). It’s is made of 4 parts thyme, 2 parts peppermint, 2 parts lemon balm, and 1 part yarrow flower. It’s really lovely with some raw, local honey (which is also great for a cough). If you want to get some herbs and try making a tisane for yourself, you can use my affiliate link for Mountain Rose Herbs. (That just means they send me some pennies if you buy something through my link, at no cost to you, because I sent you to them.) If you have questions about how, let me know and I’ll get you the info.
Note: This week I’m using Military Time. It’s like 24 Hour Time in which 2:00 a.m. would equal 2:00 but in Military Time would look like 0200. 2:00 p.m. in 24 Hour Time looks like 14:00 but in Military Time it looks like 1400.
Do you prefer:
a.m./p.m.
24-Hour Time
Military Time
The answers to this survey will influence how I format time in the future.
Emotional Energy Updates
Monday, April 29, 2024 might feel a little unstable. You might feel limitations in time, money, or other resources. Your emotions and the unconscious lessons you learned as a child regarding resources might be showing themselves. Do your best to address those issues by working with gratitude and love.
Exercise: When you notice your limitations, flip the script. Are you feeling worried about time? Express gratitude for all you’ve had time to accomplish over the last few weeks. Are you feeling limited by your financial state? Express gratitude for all you’ve been able to provide for yourself and your family today. Are you feeling scarce about your resources? Express gratitude for all the times you’ve been resourceful recently.
Featured Product/Service: Sometimes we feel limited with resources because we do not feel like enough. We forget our own power. If that’s something you experience, try POWERFUL. This Pandora’s Potion is full of vibrations meant to teach you to connect with your inspiration, release negativity, remember to your own knowledge and wisdom, and harness your own personal power. Order POWERFUL here.
Tuesday, April 30, 2024 is a day for cooperation. The energy is ambitious but the ambition turns from self-focused (before 0819 PT) to group-focused (after 0833 PT). If you have any work to do that is meant to advance you in your career (or is more self-focused), get into the office and get it done before 0819 PT. Give yourself a Mandatory Rest Time from 0819 to 0833 PT. Save those projects that require cooperation, communication, and progressive ideas for after that. Then, you may be feeling more willing to try something new and to explore more radical ideas within a group.
Exercise: Try doing something in a different way today - even if it’s as simple as holding your coffee cup in your other hand. It’ll challenge your body and brain and might even give your mood a little boost. If you really want a boost - try something big - something completely out of the ordinary!
Featured Product/Service: Do you want to try something really different? Get a Career Report. This report requires your birth date, birth time, and birthplace. I can give you five careers based on your personality as well as some information about how you best make decisions, what to do when things aren’t working, and your unique gifts. Order it earlier if you want to find out how to advance yourself. Order it later in the morning if you want to find out how to best serve society. Order your Career Report HERE.
Wednesday, May 1, 2024 is a day of change. It’s time to let go of those things that don’t enhance your life and purpose. You may find that you’re more interested in societal change and improving the future. Communication and intellect are a major component of the day. You may be feeling more rational and less emotional and, perhaps, a little idealistic. Do you have any important communications that need to be sent tomorrow morning? Get them done today.
Exercise: How can you make things better for those around you in each moment today? Sometimes just a smile can be encouraging to another person which could end up having a radical effect on humanity. (Yeah, it sounds implausible but not impossible so why not take the chance?!) But sometimes doing the thing that nobody wants to do can improve the future for everyone involved.
Featured Product/Service: Do you want to have a list of statements that encourage you to be your best self in this world as a way to make the world a better place? Get your personalized mantras. With your birth date, your birth time, and your birthplace, I can create mantras based on 14 areas of your life. Each area usually gets 1-2 mantras. Some of these areas are: your purpose, values, lessons, challenges, and growth. I currently have a mantra written on each shin. Why? Because I was having a tough morning and wanted to make sure I remember who I am and what I’m here for. They’re written on my body because it’s my experience that what I write on my skin can affect me subconsciously. You want some of that too?! Get your mantras HERE.
Thursday, May 2, 2024 is a day for creating harmony. Give yourself a Mandatory Rest Time from 0228 to 1152 PT. The energy is full of optimism and generosity but you may be feeling wistful or sensitive. It’s a great time for imagination and creativity. You may also be feeling the desire to take time out to rest and to connect with your spirituality.
Exercise: To create harmony within your system, retreat to water. Find some time to sit by moving water and listen to it, watch a waterfall, sit in a bath, or just listen to rain sounds while you work. Let it soothe your system and help you be more in harmony with yourself.
Featured Product/Service: When I am not living in harmony with my surroundings (and the people in them) I often find that it is ME who needs to change. That’s when I make up some CHANGE OF HEART for myself. This Pandora’s Potion is an energized water infused with vibrations meant to teach you to release fear and express compassion and forgiveness (among other things). Check it out HERE.
Friday, May 3, 2024 is a day for reflection. You may be feeling dreamy and sensitive. Details, boundaries, and will-power may not be your strengths today. Use your imagination, express affection, and give self-important people a little extra space. Give yourself an opportunity to reflect upon the previous weeks, rest and recover from what you’ve been going through, and surrender to what has already been set in motion.
Exercise: Feel your body’s “yes” and “no”. Have you ever listened to your body when you needed to make a decision? It can give you a distinct feeling of your own “yes” and “no” even when your mind is cluttered by what you “should” do. My “no” feels like a tight stomach and throat. My “yes” feels like a relaxed face with specific sensations of warmth. Determine how your “yes” and “no” feel by closing your eyes and asking yourself questions. Ask something easy, like, “Is my name Bob?” and see how it feels. Then ask yourself your true name (or a different name if your name actually is Bob) and see how that feels. Use today to practice checking in with yourself for every decision you need to make and then follow your own guidance.
Featured Product/Service: Boundaries might be even harder than normal to keep today. If you’re feeling like you need extra support with your boundaries on a regular basis, try BOUNDARIES. This “Pandora's Potion” is an energized water infused with the vibrations intended to help you release past hauntings, cultivate boundaries, repel negativity, and help you feel protected when you feel vulnerable. If you’d like support with your boundaries, you can order Boundaries HERE.
Saturday, May 4, 2024 is a day for mastery. You are meant to be master of your present moment but you may be feeling empty or wistful these last few days. Engaging in your spirituality in the morning may help you feel more connected. Give yourself a Mandatory Rest Time from 1206 to 1341 PT. You may still be feeling empty in the afternoon and you may desire to start something new to fill that perceived lack. That might mean impulsively taking action on some obsessive thoughts you’ve been experiencing lately. A better idea for today would be to use that energy to move your body and do some active relaxation.
Exercise: You might be wondering what active relaxation looks like. In the morning it may look like engaging in a creative project that makes you feel relaxed, floating in water, playing an instrument, or reading out loud. In the afternoon, active relaxation might look like a challenging yoga class, planning a project you’ve been thinking about for a long time, or watching a fire burn.
Featured Product/Service: I have a brand new product called AT HOME. This Pandora’s Potion is meant for the person who is feeling home-sick (or slightly obsessive) about a person, a place, or a time long-gone. It is an energized water full of vibrations meant to ease the obsessiveness and longing, soothe the sadness and frustration, and inspire laughter and joy. If you want to feel more at home in your present moment, order AT HOME here.
Sunday, May 5, 2024 is about fulfillment. Allow yourself to rest and surrender to what is. Be fulfilled with what you have in this moment. Be present. You may be feeling the urge to be impulsive. You may find that people are a little more tactless than usual. Rather than burning bridges and starting over completely (which you may feel the compulsion to do) channel your energy into starting the week fresh by preparing for what is to come. Do this by resting, moving your body, loving on your people, and/or getting the groceries.
Exercise: You might find yourself impulsively saying the words that want to come out of your mouth before you have time to think. Rather than letting your mouth get you into trouble today, practice keeping quiet, writing your thoughts, and giving your jaw and neck a massage.
Featured Product/Service: If you’ve been thinking about starting a health journey for a while now but you’re not sure where to start, get a Self-Healing Consultation. We’ll discuss what’s bothering you and I’ll share my wisdom and knowledge to help you get clear on how you’d like to meet your health goals. We’ll do it over a video chat. We can make it really relaxed and fun (or exceptionally serious, if you think your situation requires it). Are you wondering about my credentials? I have degrees in Neuroscience and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Between getting those two degrees I also spent some time in medical school before realizing that drugs and surgery were not my tools of choice. My experience with Christianity, Neuroscience, Chinese Medicine (Traditional and Classical), Taoism, Shamanism, Motherhood, Loss, and playing with the Energy of the Universe all help me do what I do. Click HERE to schedule your Self-Healing Consultation!
Here’s what others have said after having a Self-Healing Consultation:
"I didn't go into the consultation with any specific expectation. However, after our call ended I felt so great. The feeling I got afterwards absolutely exceeded my expectation and really helped me feel like all my current goals I had set for myself were really heading in a good direction."
"It truly felt like our call was "meant to be"."
"I absolutely felt empowered after our conversation and this last week has been a little stressful but thinking about the methods we talked about and putting them into practice has helped tremendously."
