Spring is a season of renewal, growth, and transformation. As the energy of nature rises, so does our own internal energy. Just as sap surges through trees, we may feel a stirring within—sometimes as excitement, sometimes as agitation, and sometimes as frustration or anger. Anger is a natural and healthy emotion, but when left unprocessed, it can turn into bitterness and resentment, weighing us down. However, when we learn to channel anger in a constructive way, it can become a force of creativity, vitality, and personal growth.

Right now, there is a lot happening in the world that stirs anger beyond just the natural energy of spring. Social injustices, environmental concerns, and personal struggles can amplify frustration and overwhelm. It's important to recognize these feelings and process them in a way that empowers rather than depletes us.

Life today is full of unexpected challenges, and for many, the stress of sudden job loss and uncertainty can feel overwhelming. I want to take a moment to acknowledge that no single practice can solve the deep and complex struggles you may be facing—but sometimes, a simple tool can help us navigate the storm with more ease. Shaking is a natural and effective way to release tension, regulate the nervous system, and create a sense of relief, even in difficult times.

 In the video, I’ll guide you through a gentle shaking sequence designed to help your body let go of stress and restore balance. I invite you to practice with me and explore the many benefits of this powerful yet simple movement.

To truly honor the Summer Solstice, we need to reflect on who we were during the Winter Solstice. At that time, we planted seeds of who we are becoming. In December, we honored our ancestors and went into the dark foreboding places of our lives. We explored the cold darkness- the extreme Yin. In the deep dark places, we found beauty. We found the lost parts of ourselves, our forgotten talents and abilities. We found our inner light and shared it with the world.

Now during the Summer Solstice, the time of fire, heat, and bright light- the time of extreme yang. The sun is so bright it catches us and exposes us, like a deer caught in the headlights. Or like a bright spotlight revealing our vulnerabilities and our shadows. The stark truths about the hidden parts of ourselves are revealed. They become so clear and evident that they can no longer be ignored. 

Hey Beautiful, today, we’re talking about Red Clover Blossoms. I'll share with you why Red Clover is a wonderful herbal ally for women and for lung health. I’ll also share my personal and direct interaction with Red Clover. This is not a video that solely focuses on an impressive list of therapeutic qualities and phytochemicals of Red Clover. This video is primarily about the insights that I'm learning from Red Clover on a personal and spiritual level. Red Clover teaches us about protection, Qigong, receiving, reciprocity, deep listening, and self-actualization.

Red Clover is a cleanser and a healer. She helps things move through you so you can release and detoxify. And she helps you move through things. We are in a time of rapid consciousness shifts and awakenings. Red Clover helps protect and clear you as you move through the stages of awakening and self-actualization.

Balance is not about being perfect all the time, nor that your life is exactly rationed into equal parts. Instead, being in balance means you are in the right season for things to unfold and flourish in their appropriate time.  Learn how to find your center and stay balanced with qigong and nourishing herbal infusions

Today, I’d like to share a popular tradition that I’ve grown to love with you because it brings me so much clarity in my life.  Before we get started, you’ll need to grab your pen and paper because I’m going to guide you through a meditation and journaling experience to receive your word of the year. 

Having a word of the year has become a guiding principle for me. My word is the filter, the focal point, in which all my activities flow. So today, with your permission, I’d like to lead you through the process of receiving your word, your compass, your focal point.
