Prioritizing Calm, Consistency, and Cozy

It’s October!
I can’t believe I’m waking up and it’s already October. If you love this time of year, whether it’s the hot apple cider, pumpkin spice everything, sweaters, cozy socks, or the beautiful colors that mother nature provides, you’re not alone. Or, if you’re here for spooky season and all the fun and magic that comes with that, welcome to the magical month we call October. No matter what speaks to you this time of year there is something that happens when we officially turn the calendar today. I’m joining you in the excitement, nostalgia, and the intention to pack all my favorite things into the next 31 days to the best of my ability. (That will include a lot of baking, simmer pots, hot drinks, Harry Potter rewatch, and all the cozy vibes.)

While I personally believe that this month officially kicks off operation cozy, this year there are some other themes showing up to offer us some support and focus as we move forward too. You may have noticed over the last several weeks or maybe even longer that you’re receiving a strong message about cultivating a routine that feels supportive for you. Something positive and uplifting that you can focus on that doesn’t take much time but also allows you to see progress as you invest in your routine. Maybe you’ve been guided to get back to a workout schedule that you’ve let go for a bit. Maybe you’re being guided to start something new to shake up your exercise routine a bit. Some people have been guided to do a bit of a clear out of foods that aren’t really resonating for them anymore. Others are being guided to do a daily meditation, journal exercise, or get back to a creative outlet regularly. Some people are being urged to change their sleeping schedules so they go to bed 30 minutes earlier (or more) so they can start their day refreshed in the morning. What have you noticed showing up for you?

Whatever messages you’ve been receiving about starting something new or recommitting to a routine is a powerful message of support right now. In focusing on one or maybe more than one area this month, not only will you cultivate consistency, you’ll create and nurture new neural pathways. (win win) You’ll also find that it helps to reduce tension and stress that may be holding space within and around you, allowing you to support and even recalibrate your nervous system so you feel more calm and more like yourself. These are really important benefits that you can receive no matter what you’re guided to invest in this month. I was shown that this aspect that may seem small is actually a significant shift for you and for everyone who honors this guidance. With increased tensions, stress, and uncertainty being a theme showing up in news cycles consistently, this skill set will be a strong asset in supporting you as you continue to move through this month and the remainder of the year. You may find that you can inspire someone else in your life to make this important shift too.

One of my favorite things about this time of year, it’s really difficult to choose only 1 favorite is the fact that there’s something innate or hard wired within us to begin pulling our energy within. There’s a deep call to slow down, to hunker down, and to enjoy creature comforts every day. Little things like changing up lighting for twinkle lights, a fire in the fireplace, candles, cozy blankets, the fuzziest of socks, all the pillows, a favorite homemade soup simmering on the stove, and crisp October air help to click this feeling into place. It’s like all at once we all feel this call to begin making our spaces calm, comfortable, and cozy. We move into a space where calm and peace become a conscious priority for us and that theme is especially prescient right now. What a perfect time to be focusing on this theme of making our physical spaces and internal spaces a place where we feel calm, comforted, and at peace. This focus automatically supports us in choosing relationships and experiences that resonate with these priorities too. You’ll find that as you make this shift, the other shifts and changes happen organically, almost as if by magic. This deep call to make calm, gentle, and peaceful spaces a part of our daily lives is especially timely for us, and any investment in this goal will be a worthy use of your time and energy. You will yield the benefits of cultivating these themes this month and as you move forward.

People often ask me why I believe this month tends to bring “more” connections, communication, synchronicity, or messages from angels, guides, or departed loved ones. Maybe you’ve pondered this too. I don’t think there’s one “correct answer” on this topic; however, I do believe it’s a combination of things happening at the same time. I do see the veil thin during this time of the year which allows for more connections and moments of clear messages coming through in all different ways. However, we actually receive messages all the time, sometimes it’s just not as easy for people to notice them due to their busy lives. This brings me to another aspect of what I see contributing to this experience for people…the quiet, calm, and peaceful focus of this time of year allows for an easier connection or a “stronger” connection to be experienced. A combination of quieting the mind and the body paired with the thinning veil and of course the energy infused into this month all work together to help increase these experiences for people. If you’re wanting to increase your connection this season, this is a great time to pay extra attention to messages you see, hear, feel, and know. If you enjoy dream journaling this is a great time to write down your dreams throughout October to look for themes and insights. It’s also a great time to schedule a reading, if that feels like a fit for you. Remember you can always ask your guides, angels, and departed loved ones to give you a message that you’ll easily notice and understand.

This month is filled with so many beautiful changes, which are happening all around us each and every day. These changes are impacting you and your life too. The more that you can allow yourself to enjoy and lean into these changes the more you’ll find that you automatically click into the themes and messages of prioritizing calm, consistency, comfort, and of course, cozy. These are so important for all of us across the board, but perhaps even more so at this time we are called to make peace a personal priority.

Make a wish list or a dream board for all things October. Play in the energy of all things fall, autumnal, pumpkin spice, cozy books, and all the aspects that light up your heart and soul as you think about all the ways to enjoy this entire magical month. By playing, being joyful, and loving the things that call to us, we automatically shift into calm, comfort, and cozy too. In fact, the more often we allow ourselves to do this, to laugh, play, and have fun we cultivate consistency too. (win win win) So, go big with your operation cozy this month in all the ways that call to you; it’s so worth it in so many ways! You are 100% worth it!

I’m wishing you a wonderfully magical and cozy October! May it bring you all the joys and whimsy your heart desires while also supporting you in infinite ways!

As always, I’m sending you love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world straight to you!

With deepest love and gratitude,

Happy July~

I hope this finds you well as we begin a new month and as we’re officially into the new summer season here in the Northern Hemisphere. It feels like it’s been so long since we last connected even though it’s only been a handful of weeks. My hope is this that this message will be a gentle supportive salve for your soul. An opportunity to slow down for a bit and take in a bit of calming energy coming through this message for you, today. In fact, let’s start with a nice deep breath in through the nose and out through the mouth…beautiful. Feel free to take another deep breath if you feel guided. Take a quick moment to gently scan your neck and shoulders for any tension or tightness and go ahead and release them while you continue breathing. Check for any other places or spaces where your body may be holding onto any tension and go ahead and release it while you continue breathing. Good…just keep taking nice long deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth until you feel a nice calm come over you, supporting you in gentle relaxation.

The importance of gentility, calm, and self-care are very prescient right now. I have a feeling that you’re receiving this message too. I wanted to share some of the messages that I’ve been receiving about this timely theme in the hope that it can offer you some comfort and support as we move through these energies together. You may be receiving messages similar to the ones below or a combination of these things or maybe something very specific to you. Trust that the messages about taking good care of yourself and your well being are very timely for you.

Many people are being guided to focus on a reset right now when we think about our basic systems and environment. There’s a big message about getting back to basics if you will. This is showing up for some people with their physical body. You may notice that you’re (or someone you love is) having some sensitivities or challenges with foods, beverages, or hunger levels that are out of the ordinary for you. You may feel guided to eat gentler foods and be mindful of things that are contributing to upset stomach, bloating, allergies, or anything out of the ordinary for you and adjust accordingly. You may be guided to reach out to a professional if the issue persists for you. Many highly sensitive people are being guided to lighten their foods at this time to gentle things that won’t physically weigh them down or make them drowsy. You may be receiving a message about literally lightening up so that your body is lighter and more easily able to move through these big shifts and changes happening right now. You may find that you need more water than usual or that you crave fresh green juices or hydrating foods.

You may also find that your body is going through an adjustment with sleep. Maybe you’re having a difficult time sleeping or you can’t get enough sleep even though you’re sleeping through the night. Maybe you’re finding yourself moving back and forth between both of these experiences which can be really exhausting. With all the big energies happening right now, sleep is a priority for everyone, especially a highly sensitive soul like yourself. If you can make any shifts to your sleep situation to set yourself up for success, this is a great time to implement those changes. Sometimes, something as simple as changing bedding to something more comfortable, using black out shades, and reducing blue light can make a huge impact in your quality of sleep. Other times, you may find that you need to bank sleep in small additional segments through napping or trying to get to bed earlier than usual.

The next message is about your physical space, the space where you live day to day. There’s a deep call to refine and make your space a place that rises up to greet you to the best of your ability. This is not a message about purchasing a bunch of things for your space. It’s a message about moving the things that aren’t supportive for you out of your space and making your home into a space that’s safe, uplifting, and calming for you. Sometimes this message is about people moving out of the space who aren’t a fit for you as well. If you’ve been meaning to call a non-profit to take away some things that you want to donate, this is a good time to make that call. If you’ve been saying you’re going to list your items and earn some extra money, this is the time to get your items listed. If you’ve been meaning to remove or replace things that are broken, this is a great time to do that. If you’ve been wanting to plant some flowers or complete some projects but haven’t gotten around to them, this is a great time to do these things on your list.

The last message I’m going to share here today (because this note is getting really long and I know you’re busy) is about making time for the things that bring you joy. Any things, all the things, little things, big things, medium things. This is very important and often gets side lined on the order of importance for lots of reasons while adulting. However, I was shown how incredibly important this is to our overall well-being, equally important to the other messages that I’ve included. When we choose to invest in the activities that resonate for us and bring us joy, we feed our souls on a deep level. This level of self-care is imperative and allows us an upswing of support, love, care, and even healing. It’s not about what you choose to do to cultivate this aspect of your life, it’s that you do it. So, play music, run, color, dance, meditate, make something, watch a movie, read a book just for fun, wear your “good clothes,” start a garden, or _____________. A few minutes here and there throughout your day will support your overall wellness and connection to yourself while simultaneously supporting your spiritual well-being as well.

The big theme with each of these messages is about supporting you in feeling healthy, safe, strong, and supported. This will allow you to move through these big changes more easily which will allow you to help those you love and whom you’re guided to help during this particular time. You’re here for a reason and your impact is important. So, take another deep breath for me in through your nose and out through your mouth…beautiful.

Take your time, go at your own pace, and if you need to take a minute to reset, please give yourself permission to do that. I see that big changes continue to be on the horizon for all of us and by honoring these messages now to the best of your ability you'll be better able to navigate the ebbs and flows. 

As always, I’m sending you love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world, straight to you!

If you’d like to work with me this month to focus on specific messages that are coming through for you right now, please feel free to click here to get into my schedule.

With deepest love and gratitude, thank you for being here with me,
Kristy~xoxo

How to Maintain Your Sacred Space While Holding onto Your Sanity...When Your Home is Your Sanctuary…Plus Office, Gym, Movie Theatre, School, etc.

I was just thinking about you and thought I would drop a line to see how you’re doing.

One of the things that’s been a bit of a struggle for me lately is managing all the new jobs that my home has to do while also finding a way to continue to create a space where my home rises up to greet me and feels like a sanctuary.

Are you finding this to be a bit of a head scratcher too?

Please tell me I’m not alone in this one; it’s been a bit of a one step forward one step back kind of dance during this shelter in place order. I find that like most things right now, there’s this roller coaster of emotions tied into little wins and then little (or larger) setbacks which can feel overwhelming.

A few days ago I decided to sit down and really look at this issue and tune in to see what some of the large issues were that were contributing to this push pull dynamic I was experiencing.

Here’s what showed up for me, I thought maybe it could be helpful and supportive for you too.

The first big issue that I saw was all about Tech.

I know… this is one of those things that’s woven into the fabric of our lives at this point and right now even more so than usual. However, that was the big take away, our homes are literally being filled with wifi, screen energy, and nearly non-stop tech energies pumping into all areas nearly non stop at this point.

For most of us, even those who work from home, this is at another level, especially if you’re home schooling and have a partner working from home too. So, these energies are impacting us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually in ways we aren’t used to, all day every day.

This build up if you will, is starting to have an impact on the way we feel, think, and experience our day to day life.

Some of the symptoms showing up include but aren’t limited to:

• Lethargy

• Exhaustion

• Sadness/Meh

• Cloudy Thinking

• Inflammation

• Joint Pain, Strain, or Tension

• Feeling Intense Swings in Mood

• Easily Triggered by Current or Past Situations

• Looped Thinking Cycles, Usually Negative

• Agitation, Frustration, Anxiousness, Overwhelm

• Feeling Like You Can’t Pull Yourself Out of a Funk

• Sleep Disturbances

• Insomnia

• Night Terrors

If you’re experiencing any of these, please know that you’re not alone. There are simple but significant shifts you can make to help support you in clearing these energies from your home.

The other 2 areas that showed up were:

• Too Much Time Indoors Breathing Recirculated Air and a Lack of Full Spectrum Sunlight

• Being Ungrounded

The good news here, is that all 3 of these areas are completely connected to one another which means that we can get some traction and forward motion with all of them with a little bit of effort.

There is no one way or right way to do this, only the ways that are right for you today.

I’ve included some ways that showed up for me and I hope that they will be helpful for you and a jumping off place for you to create some custom support systems for you and your home.

Clear Out the Tech Energy:

Literally Open the Windows and Run Your Ceiling Fans to Clear it Out of Your Home

You will bring fresh air into your home at the same time which helps to clear out that recirculated air you’ve been breathing too. Tech energy creates an energetic woven fabric that holds space like an umbrella and pushes the energy down in your home and it pushes you down too. When you air out your home you’ll literally feel a lightness return to your spaces. Highly sensitive people like yourself can often see that the rooms look lighter, brighter, and larger after being aired out.

If it’s already hot or still cold at your home, either open your home up early in the morning or in the evening or bundle up if you have to so you can clear out this dense and unhealthy energy. A few minutes will make a big difference if that’s all you can do. If you can air out your home longer, great go for it.

Turn Off the Tech Energy:

If you can turn off your wifi or at least place your devices on airplane mode at night, it will make a big difference in the way you think and feel in the morning. You will notice that your sleep will be better too.

If it’s possible to reduce the rooms in your home that are using screens and dedicate it to specific spaces, it will help to keep it from being all over everywhere all day long. If this isn’t possible, that’s okay, just try to remember to turn it off when you’re finished instead of leaving all your devices running 24/7. I know it’s easier to let everything go to sleep mode, but if you turn things off, you’ll notice a palpable difference.

Go Outside:

I know this one seems obvious but with so much added screen time and indoor time, it’s easy to forget to go outside. The I just have to finish one more thing syndrome has been supersized for most of us right now and before we know it, the day has passed and we haven’t gone outdoors at all. Instead, we’ve been inside in front of screens under the tech umbrella. (Don’t judge yourself, this is something we’re all experiencing apart, but together right now.)

Even if you can only go for a 15 minute walk around your block, give yourself permission to do that. Schedule it into your phone if that works for you so you’ll get outside to breathe some fresh air, get some full spectrum sunlight, and stretch your muscles. Our bodies are like sponges so all that tech energy is sitting inside of us too. When we move and sweat, we can get it cleared out.

If you have a fancy home gym and you’re working out regularly, way to go! I still encourage you to get outside even if just for that walk around the block. Getting outside helps us to get grounded and get more connected to our natural rhythms again and feel more like ourselves again too. Getting outside also clears our aura and energy body. Win. Win.

Clean Your Home:

Again, this one seems super obvious, but cleaning is a sacred act (while it may not feel super sacred while scrubbing your tub) it is a powerful way to clear out energies that you don’t want in your home while infusing it with intentions, blessings, and the energy that you want to keep within your home. This is where we get the, your home is your sanctuary, or your home should rise up to greet you when you walk through the door. Both of these adages are true and impact all areas of our lives.

Whether you’re lightly cleaning or you’re giving your sanctuary a deep clean and refresh, know that you’re resetting and rebooting your home back to its factory setting that you’ve chosen for yourself and your family. You can always add upgrades by including new intentions and blessings for your home while you clean.

Work With Your Angels and Guides:

You can ask your angels and your guides to clear your home and property of any energies that are not a fit for you and your home. (This doesn’t exempt you from cleaning.) This is a beautiful way to clear on an even deeper level while also bringing your spiritual support team into your day to day life.

Smudge:

You can smudge and sage your home and property to clear any dense energies that you would like to move along. Research also shows that sage is antibacterial and antimicrobial so it can support clearing the air in your home. Please never leave your sage burning unattended and keep away from little hands and paws.

Essential Oils:

Diffusing essential oils can be a deep emotional support while also filling your home with soothing, uplifting, and calming energies based on the oil you choose to diffuse. There are endless combinations you can choose to nurture a positive environment in your home. There are many oils that are antibacterial and antimicrobial too. Essential oils are made from plants, so bringing them into your home helps with grounding too. (If you’re looking for essential oils, send me a message and I’ll help you.)

Blessing Floor Wash:

I love this one. This one always feels very palpable to me and it makes me feel like I’m bringing something from the ancient past into my current modern life. I also love that you can make it different each time based on the intentions and needs of your current situation. It feels like a blessing, energy treatment, and huge hug for my home all at the same time.

You’ll Need:

• Your favorite natural hard floor cleaner

• Mop and Bucket

• Water

• Variety of Fresh Picked Herbs from your kitchen garden (or from the farmers market or from your neighbor) Lavender, Rosemary, Mint, and Sage are some great options, but choose whatever calls to you to create your blessing floor wash.

How To:

• Fill your mop bucket like usual with water and cleaner of your choice

• Rub the whole fresh herbs between your hands to release the scent and oils and then add them to the water (no need to cut or separate the flowers from the stems)

• Add intentions and blessings to the water

• You can ask your angels and guides to bless your water too if you feel guided.

• Then, mop your home as usual.

The herbaceous water will fill your home while also cleaning and blessing your home and all who live with you.

You will be able to smell all the herbs and feel the shift from the ground up in your home. This is a physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually infused clearing and you will be able to feel it.

I hope these ideas will help you to clear you and your home from these heavy or dense energies that are impacting all of us right now. Please know that you’re not alone even if you’re sheltering in place alone.

Being gentle with yourself is the first and foremost area to focus on right now.

Try to go at your own pace and treat yourself with tender loving care as we all take this one day at a time.

My hope is that some of these ideas will be a fit for you which will support you in feeling more like yourself and support you in treating yourself with kindness and care.

Please know that there’s no one way to do this, there’s only the ways that are right for you today, right now in this moment.

I’m sending you so much support and gentle energy from my little corner of the world.

We’re in this together even though we’re physically apart.

With love,

Kristy~ xoxo

7 Ways to Boost Your Wellness

While we find ourselves in the middle of cold and flu season + inundated with news stories about COVID-19, you may find health and wellness on your mind right now.

I’ve included some powerful + easy ways to boost your wellness this season for you below.

1. Wash Your Hands:
   This one may seem silly to include but it’s a powerful way to keep you well this season.

2. Sanitize Your Most Used Items:
   Wipe down your phone, computer, tablet, remotes, ear buds, glasses, steering wheel, key chains, door knobs, counters, faucets, and light switches.

3. Air Quality:
   Change the Air Filter In Your Home and if possible, in your Office

4. Increase Vitamin C:
   Add lemon, lime, or grapefruit to your water to give your body a boost of vitamin C. You can also take a high quality vitamin C supplement.

5. Water:
   Drink lots of water to keep your body hydrated and to support your body in moving toxins out.

6. Eat Nutrient Dense Foods:
   Increase green leafy foods, whether you feel guided to eat them or drink them in a green drink.

7. Sleep:
   We need sleep so that our bodies can restore, replenish, and repair. Take some time to create a gentle space that’s conducive to good solid sleep. If you’re having a hard time getting solid sleep, you may need to take small naps during the day too.

Bonus Tips:

• Use a Neti Pot or other nasal rinse system to keep your sinuses hydrated and clear of debris or infection. You can find these at any natural food store or online shops.

• Use a humidifier to help keep the air in your home hydrated so your skin can absorb the moisture to support your hydration. (This is especially important if you’re running your heating and/ or fire place as these heating sources dry out the air.)

• Stretch your body and do gentle exercise, including walking to help release any toxins that could be holding space within your body.

• Weather Permitting, air out your home, even for 10 or 15 minutes to bring clean air inside.

• Avoid places and spaces with large crowds or places with people who are sick; including public transportation.

I’m wishing you a wonderful week and hope this list will support you in boosting your wellness this season. With love,
Kristy~ xoxo
