Preparing for the Subtle Shift

Hi, I hope this finds you well as we welcome September.

We’ve finally made it to the months I affectionately refer to as the “bers.” Each year reaching September feels like a palpable marker and the beginning of the quiet and subtle shift that begins to move us into a new energy and a new season. Turning the page on the calendar for this month seems to bring with it a promise and a knowing that we are shifting not only the season and temperatures but we’re also beginning to shift within ourselves as well.

Even if you live somewhere like me where the temperature is still in the triple digits (yes, seriously) there is a feeling that we’re already inside the shift. We can look around and see aspects of this in our daily lives with the days beginning to shorten, the garden harvest being brought in for processing, and the cooler and crisp morning air. You may also have little ones back in school or you may be back in school too. There are all these little whispers around us letting us know that the summer season (for those of us in the northern hemisphere) is coming to a close.

When we think about the season of summer, it holds a lot of outward energy. We think about being outdoors, visiting with friends, taking a trip or two, working on projects, or even things like cooking or grilling outside. As we move through this in between time of the last few weeks of summer with autumn in our sightline we can take this time to reflect on what our summer themes and takeaways were for us and begin to think about moving gently but steadily into our next season.

I find this time of year to be a bit magical, the in between time of these two seemingly different seasons. We can use this as a way to prepare for something that we want to focus our attention on as we move into this next part of the year. Was there something showing up for you this season that has been on your list to invest in a bit more? Maybe slowing down is a theme showing up for you. Maybe pulling your energy inward and focusing on some inside activities or personal passion projects are beginning to tug at your heart strings. Our bodies and souls understand the rhythm of our seasonal cycles and we can feel those shifts within us too. Sometimes it shows up as a feeling of being ready for the next thing or rather feeling a bit done with the current energy. However the message shows up for you; it’s that same wisdom, you know it’s time for a change and mother nature delivers that shift right on time. Part of the magic for me (and maybe you find this for yourself too) is that even with one season being about outward energy and the next season pulling us inward, they are really working together hand in hand to support us in finding and experiencing balance.

As we move toward this new season on September 22nd; you may feel guided to tune into the way you’re feeling each day to get a sense of where you’re being guided to shift and prepare. This doesn’t have to take a long time, even a couple of minutes in the morning will give you a clear message about how you’re feeling and what you’re being called to do to honor your personal shift. Maybe you’ll receive messages about pulling out an extra throw blanket for the sofa or your bedroom. Maybe you’ll be guided to pull out some books that have been on your reading list and set them out where you can enjoy them. Maybe you’ll be guided to look through some of your favorite hearty recipes for inspiration. Maybe you’re already itching to fill your home with the scent of apple spice simmer pots, diffuser blends, or candles. Perhaps, you’re being guided to get your fall garden sewn, chop a little more wood for your wood pile, and put up a few more jars of food. These seemingly small messages lead to the shift we’re moving through together. As you honor the guidance that you’re receiving during this magical in between time, you’ll find that you’re ready for your new season and that you’ll be ready right on time. While your messages may look similar to someone else you know, they may also be different, because your messages are yours. If you feel like you could use some extra help in hearing your messages, you can always ask your angels and your guides for a clear message in your physical world that you’ll easily notice and understand. That is one of my all-time favorite ways to ask for a message, and I’ve found it to work great. You’ll also know by the way that you feel, trust yourself and please give yourself permission to lean into this magical time as we move from summer into autumn.

I’m wishing you a beautiful shift and I hope that it is filled with messages and guidance of support as we move through this change together.

I’m sending you so much love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world, right to you!
With love and gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo

We Need One Another | Especially as Highly Sensitive Souls

Hi, I hope this finds you well as we arrive in August.
I don’t know about you, but this summer feels like it’s moving really quickly for me, especially since we’re now officially in August. I hope that your summer has been good to you so far and that you’ve been able to take some down time here and there for some gentle self care, rest, relaxation, and fun.

One of the big themes that has been showing up for me lately has been about the importance of personal connections. As a highly sensitive person, it can be easy to settle into a quiet gentle space in our personal lives to help off set some of the intensity of daily life. Sensitive souls often feel guided to take a lot of down time or alone time to reset and refill their energy stores. Sensitive souls often need more recharge time than other people and need to find ways to decompress and come back to center as part of their daily routine. Cultivating this balance of outward energy and restorative self care is a dance that sensitive souls do daily throughout their lives. One of the challenges is to find that balance for themselves which allows them to have the downtime they need without pulling away from personal connections in a way that can lead to isolation.

Over the last two and a half years with varying degrees of restrictions and in person connections changing from week to week and from county to county this experience of cultivating balance has become even more challenging for people. There almost seems to be another layer of needing or craving connection showing up for people right now; even after mastering all the zoom meetings, and all the changes we’ve been through, this message about connection is coming through in a big way. Maybe you’re noticing this theme showing up in your life right now too. Maybe you notice that you’re being called to be the gentle kind listener to people while you’re in the grocery store who come up to you and want to tell you something about their personal life. Maybe you’re being called to be the person to offer a kind hello, or a smile, or a compliment to someone as you walk in the park. Maybe you’re being called to tell someone that you appreciate their help while looking into their eyes and making a genuine connection with them. Maybe you’re being called to practice a random act of kindness for a stranger or for a friend or for a family member.

With this theme of personal connection coming through so strongly right now, I want to gently remind you that as a sensitive soul it’s important to remember that your needs are important too. It often feels more natural for sensitive people to raise their hands to help others. It can sometimes feel awkward or out of the comfort zone to ask for support or to let people know that you need something. Sometimes sensitive people can intuitively feel that their circle of support is going through a lot and they don’t want to add anything else to their plates so they don’t let people know what they need. Sometimes, it feels easier to pull inward to recharge since it’s a daily support system we use already. However, it’s also important to allow yourself to receive support and connections too. While many, not all, but many sensitive souls consider themselves to be introverted and maybe have small circles of friends, or maybe even consider themselves to be loners; we all still need some personal connections.

We need one another.

People need people; it’s part of our core support system, we need connections.
We can regularly practice all the things that help us within our lives whether that be working toward a new goal, learning a new skill, meditation, yoga, artistic endeavors, or _______________________. But, even with all the things that are supportive and nurturing to us and help to bring a breadth of support and joy into our lives, we still need one another. You matter and it’s important to let people know what you need, even if it’s just a phone call or meeting up for a cup of tea. You don’t have to wait for something really big to happen to feel justified in letting someone know you could use some support or just to spend some time with someone you care about.

In the same way that you would be there for someone that you care about, please know that people in your circle feel the same way about you. Let people be there for you in the same way that you are there for them. If you feel like you want or need some gentle people to come into your circle, please know that you can ask for those souls to be brought into your world. You’ll know them by their gentle energy, kind heart, and sensitive souls.

At this time where this deep calling for personal connections is making itself known again; please give yourself permission to balance your call to help others with allowing others to help you too. You’re not alone. We’re all in this together, and we need one another.

I’m sending you so much love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world, right to you!

With deepest love and gratitude,
Kristy~ xoxo

Schools Out for Summer: Tapping into the Magic of the Season

Hello, I hope this finds you well as we welcome July.

It feels like it’s been so long since we last connected, I don’t know about you but June felt like a really long month this year. We’ve officially arrived to summer here in the Northern hemisphere even though it’s been pretty hot in my little corner of the world for a while now.

When I think about summer I often think about summers as a child and how exciting it was to have time off school, long summer nights, and lots of fun with friends and family. As a grown up, summer can sometimes feel a bit different with most of us working during this time and maybe some extra responsibilities too especially if you have little ones at home. I was thinking about ways to keep that whimsical summer energy woven into the season even with the responsibilities of being an adult. While there are lots of ways to do this, I was thinking that it could be helpful to think about a few of the seemingly simple stand out memories or favorites that you hold dear. You may be able to find a common theme for yourself when you do this. You may find there’s favorite foods you enjoy making because they represent summer to you. Maybe you like to do certain activities like making smores in the back yard because you have fond memories of doing that as a child. Maybe you really look forward to setting up an outdoor movie night with popcorn and other favorite snacks. Maybe for you it’s all about the swimming or maybe you’re already creating piles of summer reading books. The options are endless, it really just matters what stands out to you when you personally think about the energy of summer.

Taking a little time to find the theme or themes that are a fit for you can help you to bring that experience into your summer this year. You don’t need to pack every day with activities or spend lots of time away to enjoy the experience of summer. By choosing your theme and setting the intention to bring your personal brand of summer into your season this year, you will find that it allows you to open the door to the things that feel like summer for you. It can also add a little excitement, whimsy, and magic to your season too. You may find it helps you to tap into that childlike joy you had when you thought about an entire season of time off from school to play and have fun.

Here are a few questions you can ask yourself to help you find a theme that feels like a fit for you this summer. You may want to write down your answers if you feel guided and you can come back to the exercise at any time you choose. There are no wrong answers, so you can just relax and have fun with this process.

Take a couple of deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. Good, letting go of any tension, tightness, or stress that you may feel holding space inside your body. Go ahead and take another breath, and let go of any to do lists, or other things that may be holding space around you; knowing that you can go back to them when you’re finished.

• When I think about my 3 favorite summers; these are the summers that come to mind:_____________________________________________________________

• Why do these summers stand out as favorites for me? __________________________________

• How did these experiences make me feel? ___________________________________________

• Were there similar aspects to these summers or are they special because they are each unique? ___________________________________________________________________________

• Who was with me during these favorite summers? ______________________________________

• What kinds of activities did I do?_______________________________________________________

• What were some stand out moments or aspects that felt special to me? ______________________________________________________________________________

• How would I describe these experiences of my favorite summers? ____________________________

• What aspects or themes stand out when I look back over those summers? ______________________________________________________________________________

• If I had to choose 3 words to describe my favorite summers, what would they be? ______________________________________________________________________________

• How do these words make me feel? ____________________________________________________

• How can I incorporate these words or themes into my summer season this year? __________________________________________________________________________

• When I think about using these themes as an intention for this summer, I feel______________________________________________________.

• My personal theme for the summer of 2022, is the season of _____________________________________.

Great job, now you can take a moment to just sit with any emotions and memories that you’re experiencing around this or you can continue to write down any ideas or inspiration this created for you; whatever feels right for you.

I hope this will help to bring a little spark of excitement, joy, and even some childlike wonder to your new season this year. In any ways that feel like a fit for you I hope that you will enjoy celebrating the themes and aspects of the season that resonate for you and yours this summer.

I look forward to participating in some of my favorite summer activities too; things like riding bikes, early morning hikes, making popsicles, more canning, swimming, and yes, getting through some of my piles of summer reading books. I would love to hear about your personal theme for the season if you feel guided to share it with me. I’m wishing you a wonderful summer!

I’m sending you lots of love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world right to you!

With love and gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo

A Shift In Season | A Shift Within You

Happy June!
I hope this finds you well as we round the corner on the middle of the year. I hope that this retrograde cycle has been gentle to you and has given you some time to rest, reflect, and reprioritize. We have two more days of this cycle plus the little after period which is sometimes called the shadow, haze, or the whip; but we’re almost there.  This month also brings us into a new season; in the Northern Hemisphere we’re moving into summer on June 21st and will experience the longest day of the year.

As we move through this remaining retrograde energy and closer to the summer solstice you may notice that you have an increase in your personal energy and enthusiasm. You may also notice that projects, plans, and priorities that felt stalled, slowed, or stunted begin to pick up traction for you and gain momentum. This is an exciting experience because you can almost feel a surge of energy within you that gets you excited to get going on the things that have been on your list. One of the things that can show up for people at this time is analysis paralysis. This feeling of not knowing which action to take because you aren’t sure which thing you should start with or which task is the most prescient for you. While knowing that something needs to come first, the sensitive soul (like yourself) can sometimes get bogged down with not making the wrong choice. If this resonates with you, take a breath…you’re not alone. Sometimes this will show up as needing to over research what needs to be done, other times it shows up as distractions keeping you from sitting down and making a choice, and sometimes it can show up as good old fashioned fear or nervousness. All of these experiences are natural and nothing to feel bad about.

The great news is that you can move through this experience and begin taking action on your priorities. There’s no one way to do this, it’s a personal process for everyone. However, often the project that is most important to you is the one that has been on your list the longest or that you hold close to your heart. It can be something seemingly small or big; it’s not about what it looks like to someone else, only how it measures up for you. As you begin by acknowledging what that project is for you, you can begin moving forward. You may notice that by just saying it out loud or in your journal you’ll feel a wave of relief and for some people even a decompression from within and around their body.

Here's some things to ask yourself to help you get clear on what may be a great starting place for you right now. There are no wrong answers here and no one is going to see what your write and no one is going to ask you to tell them what you wrote down for your answers.

Take a moment to breathe, and if you feel guided to write your answers down, great but you don’t have to do that. You can come back to this exercise anytime you choose.

• When you think about goals or dreams you have for yourself this year, where do you notice any pressure or energy holding space within your body? _______________________

• How has your progress been going so far this year in the direction of your goals or dreams for 2022? ____________________________

• What actions have moved you forward and worked out well for you this year? ______________________________

• What did you notice about the situations as things came together, worked out, or made forward motion? _______________________

• How did you feel? ____________________________

• Which things, if any seem to have been stalled or gone off course a bit? _________________________________________

• Are any of these items still on your list or have they been shelved? _________________________________

• If so, why? __________________________________

• How does this make you feel? _____________________________

• If you could make a significant impact on one area, project, or dream on your list this year, which one would you choose? _______________________________________

• Why? ___________________________________

• How would this forward motion impact your life in 2022? ______________________________________

• How would it impact you on a personal level? ________________________________

• What kinds of feelings would you attribute to this experience? ___________________________

• Take a moment to visualize yourself experiencing this achievement…good. How do you feel when you visualize yourself taking action on your dream, goal, or project? ________________________________________

• Take a breath and focus on where you feel any pressure or energy holding space within your body. Where do you feel or see this energy holding space for you? ______________________________________________

• Does it feel different than at the beginning of this exercise? _________

• If yes, how? ________________________________________________

• Ask yourself: What is one action step I can take now to begin making forward motion on my dream, goal, or project ________________________________________

• Do I need to contact anyone to receive help or support to take this first step? ___________________________________

• Can I begin today with the resources that I have around me right now? _________________________

• Can I invest 15-20 minutes toward the realization of my goal, today? _____________

• What can I do today to move forward? ___________________________________

Okay, great job!
You may notice that you feel a bit of an energy release just from moving through this exercise. Taking a few moments to connect with our own higher self about what’s important to us can help us to get clarity while also releasing stored tension or stress in the body we may not realize is there.

Hopefully this also helped you to focus in on an area that is really meaningful to you right now and gave you some insight on how to begin moving forward in the ways that are right for you. Sometimes I think that we believe we have to do all the steps all at once when we’re starting something new and it can feel overwhelming, especially as highly sensitive souls. The truth is that we only need to start with one step, even if it feels seemingly small, it gets us moving forward and begins to create traction for us.

Highly sensitive people (like yourself) can sometimes experience elements of perfectionism which can exacerbate feelings of analysis paralysis. Take a breath if this resonates for you. If you notice this showing up or any style of delay tactics, simply acknowledge it, breathe, and when you feel ready continue taking action on that first step. The magical aspects of getting started on something is that once you take action on the first step, you’ll be given the next step and so on. You only have to focus on doing one thing at a time. If you feel like you need a little refocus, or some insight into the next step, you can return to this exercise if you feel guided. If you need support or help from someone else, you’ll be guided to reach out for help.

As we move into this new month, new season, and new surge of energy I hope you find yourself enjoying forward motion and momentum with the things that are important to you. Just focus on one thing and go at your own pace. It’s not a race or a competition, and forward motion is still forward motion even if it seems like 15-20 minutes here and there isn’t a lot; I promise you, it adds up quickly.

I hope that you’re able to make some time for joy this month too. Leaning into things that bring you joy also fills your well, allowing you to make progress on your dreams and goals.

I’m wishing you a wonderful new month and I look forward to working with you if you feel guided to schedule a session with me.

This month, in between work I’ll be making jams, jellies, sauces, mustards, and all the things as I eagerly await the fruit season all year and look forward to spending some time in the kitchen canning my little heart out. All you fellow canners out there, I see you!

I’m sending you so much love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world right to you!
With love and gratitude,

Soothe. Soften. Support. Setting Yourself Up for Success

Happy May!
I hope this finds you well as we move into a new month and into this new energy that’s already showing up in little ways. You may already feel these shifts happening as we approach the Mercury Retrograde beginning on the 10th. This retrograde will be with us through the entirety of the month and into the first two days of June.

I don’t like to focus on this time of year as something to be afraid of but I do like to prepare myself for the bumps that may come up during this time so that I can be set up for success to the best of my ability. As a highly sensitive person, (like yourself) I’ve found some common themes and experiences that can make themselves known during this time, almost like a cycle or pattern. I wanted to share some of the common symptoms I’ve found for myself as well as for others. I hope this will help to offer you some additional support so you can create a system that works for you as we move through this time together.

When we think about the Mercury Retrograde, it can be easy to get nervous about things like technology, communication, and potential blips or bumps in projects or travel. These are natural feelings as this cycle can impact these areas of our lives. There are often opportunities to focus on what I call the Re words as well, things like: review, revisit, restore, renew, replenish, rest, and relaxation. When we cultivate or create ways to lean into gentle support systems during this time, it can help to make it easier to move through this retrograde cycle.

I’ve also found some common physical symptoms that show up for myself and for other highly sensitive people. These may be things that you’ve experienced as well or maybe something that shows up for someone you love. Highly sensitive people can experience these physical symptoms and often think it’s just something they are experiencing, or that it’s connected to something else and they just can’t quite put their finger on it but they know something is out of balance. These symptoms can sometimes receive less coverage because not everyone experiences them during a retrograde cycle.

Symptoms can include but are not limited to:

• Bloating

• Tenderness in joints

• Increased skin sensitivity

• Feeling of cloudiness in thinking or being in a bit of a fog

• Exhaustion or Lethargy

• Low grade fever

• Low grade headache

• Feeling parched and needing more water than usual

• Sensitivity to foods and beverages, potential upset stomach even to foods and drinks you normally enjoy

• Food cravings for sugar, salt, and carbohydrates

• Sleep Challenges including insomnia and/or dream disturbances

• Needing more sleep than usual; including needing naps even if you aren’t someone who usually naps

• Increased emotional sensitivity

• Increased frustration or irritability

• Repeating thought loops

• Increased overwhelm in large groups or environments (grocery store etc.)

• Feeling drained when in social situations

• Increased sensitivity to lighting and noise

• Increased or heightened spiritual gifts and or connection with guides, angels, and departed loved ones

• Increased desire for quiet, calm, gentle environments and activities

• Increased desire to wear soft, comfortable, and loose fitting clothing

• Increased focus on self care, comfort, and self soothing

These are some of the symptoms that can show up for highly sensitive people. You may experience some or none of these symptoms but it can help to know that these symptoms are very real so that you can identify them if they show up. This can also help you to create a support system for yourself or someone you love.

The great news is that knowing what to expect allows us to prepare so we can experience a smoother and gentler retrograde cycle. There are some really easy yet impactful things that we can do to help make this time as supportive as possible. I’ve included some ideas for you below; by no means is this a be all end all list. Please use this as an inspiration so you can create and cultivate the personal support that is best for you and your loved ones.

• Place large leafed plant near the bed to help increase oxygen and clear you and your bedroom while you sleep

• Use a humidifier to increase oxygen while also soothing sensitive skin, scalp, and sinuses

• Use dimmers or gentle golden or low lighting. (Edison bulbs create a gentle golden glow and can be found at big box stores and online outlets.)

• Use a sound machine or gentle music to help soothe and calm the nervous system

• Sage or Smudge your home to clear any heavy or dense energies

• Edit or clear spaces near your bed so you can more easily rest

• Set out art supplies or other creative outlets so you can easily reach them

• Set out workout mats, tennis shoes, and workout equipment so you can easily reach them

• If you plan to work on your garden or plant a garden, find out what you’ll need so it will be easier to begin your garden project

• Treat yourself to your favorite tea, bath supplies, or cozy blanket

• Take a little time to back up your computer and other devices

• Have a little cash on hand in case there are any tech issues at the grocery store

• Have a little bit of extra food and water on hand in case you feel guided to avoid crowds and stay home due to your sensitivity level on any particular day

• Say no to extra demands on your personal time and energy to the best of your ability

• Make extra time for rest, quiet, and comfort

• Make time for meditation or spiritual practice

• Make time for reading for pleasure, listening to or playing music, or journaling

• Lean into activities that feel gentle to you; this can include watching your favorite movie while wearing comfy jammies.

• Take breaks throughout the day even if only for 3-5 minutes to get up and walk around and clear from your work and devices.

• Create room for more downtime and rest when and where you can to honor your body’s needs to the best of your ability

• Breathe, and go at your own pace

• Remember to ask for help if you need it

And…anything else that feels like a fit for you and that will support you in experiencing a more gentle and smooth retrograde cycle this month. I hope this helps to inspire and support you as we move through this time together. Remember, you don’t have to do all the things all the time, just do what feels right for you on any particular day and please give yourself grace. You’re doing amazing, and you’re not alone.

I’m sending you so much love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world right to you.
With all my love and gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo

Cultivating a Soul Salve

Happy April,

I hope this finds you well as we begin a new month and lean into a new season.
I was trying to find a theme to focus on for this newsletter by tuning into the messages I’ve been receiving, the energies that have been showing up lately, and the recurring issues that seems to be really prescient for people right now and nearly everything was pointing to a deep focus on ways to honor, soothe, and comfort the highly sensitive soul (like yourself). So, grab a cup of tea or something soothing and let’s look at ways that you can cultivate a Soul Salve for yourself this month which you can use at any time when you feel like you could benefit from some extra support.

When things get stressful, overwhelming, or intense; whether these things are coming from within your own personal life or on a larger scale outside of your personal life it can have an impact on the nervous system which can create some additional stress responses. As a highly sensitive person, this natural experience can be felt on what seems like a magnified level. While there are so many wonderful things that come with being highly sensitive, the deep feelings and empathy can make stressful situations well, feel more stressful. (I know that you know this all too well as a fellow HSP.) The good news is that there are things that we can do to honor our sensitivity while also helping to soothe and support ourselves even if we’re experiencing big shifts and intense energies.

The great news is that there’s no right way or one way to do this, there are just the ways that are right for you on any given day. This means you can change, shift, and update your support system at any time which removes any pressure to choose something that you’ll use forever. So, take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth…good, letting go of any stress that you may feel holding space in your chest or stomach, good…remembering, this is something that is personal to you and meant to be a support system, and it can also be fun.

I’ve included a little exercise for you below which can help you to pin point a few things that may want to be added to your personal support system right now. You may want to get some paper and something to write with to jot down the things that come through for you. There’s no wrong answers and I promise you that you will receive messages and answers to the questions below. Just relax and breathe and have fun.

Imagine a space that’s just for you, it can be anything that you want it to be.
Maybe it’s a room that’s just yours, an office, a music space, a sunroom, a garden, an open air building at the sea, or something else completely, but it’s just yours. A space all for you.

Inside, fill it with the things that make you feel uplifted, calm, relaxed, soothed, and like you.
The you that feels peaceful, healthy, focused, happy, and __________________.

• What does your space look like?

• What does your space feel like?

• What sounds do you hear in your space?

• How does your space make you feel?

• What items do you have in this space?

• Why does this space feel calming and supportive for you?

• Is there anything else you would like to add to this space?

• How can you integrate these things into your daily life now?

• What one thing can you do right now which will offer you some additional comfort in your daily life, now?

• Is there anything else that you feel guided to do to support your overall sensitivity at this time?

Taking a few minutes to go through this exercise can help give you some insight into some things that your soul is personally wanting or needing at this time. You can use it as many times as you feel guided. Remember, seemingly small shifts lead to significant results. There’s no need to do all the things all at once, focusing on one or two things that resonate with you can cultivate a deep support system for you.

Some other things that have been coming up for many people lately and they may resonate with you too include, but aren’t limited to:

• Needing to drink more water

• Eating gentler foods, feeling guided to eat lighter and or healthier foods

• Desire to move the body through gentle exercise

• Participating in a gentle cleanse or fast (gentle being the key word here) This can include reducing refined sugars and alcohol.

• Increasing full spectrum sunlight

• Increasing vitamins and minerals

• Reducing screen time and increasing listening to music or audio books

• Beginning or revisiting breathwork whether it’s square breathing, yoga, deep breathing, or any kind of conscious breathing to help soothe and calm the nervous system.

• Revisiting creative outlets to reduce stress and increase calm, this can also include coloring, gardening, and reading books for pleasure.

• Removing clutter or items that are ready to be donated or recycled.

• Increasing salt baths, hot tub time, or swimming

• Focusing on your personal energy and cycles and honoring them to the best of your ability.

• Rest and Sleep: if your body needs more of these things right now, please try to honor them to the best of your ability.

• Journaling to help release and reset

• Deep focus of making your inner circle and your home a place that’s calm, peaceful, and gentle.

I hope this very prescient theme about taking good care of ourselves is something that resonates with you right now. I know that it really resonates with me. As a deeply sensitive soul, sometimes it can be easy to focus on ways to help, support, and soothe others because it’s so natural for you. Sometimes, during this process, it can be easy to forget to do the same kindness for yourself. Please let this be a gentle and loving reminder that you are worthy of support and care too. I see you. I see you taking care of all the people you love in your world. It’s important to give yourself some grace, love, and care too. This month, please give yourself permission to cultivate your own soul salve in the ways that speak to you.

I’m sending you so much love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world right to you!

With all my love and gratitude,

I’ve included a special for you below that will last through Monday the 4th ending at 5pm pacific time. You can schedule your session for any day you choose. (one per person, please.)

Happy April, *|FNAME|*,
I hope this finds you well as we begin a new month and lean into a new season.
I was trying to find a theme to focus on for this newsletter by tuning into the messages I’ve been receiving, the energies that have been showing up lately, and the recurring issues that seems to be really prescient for people right now and nearly everything was pointing to a deep focus on ways to honor, soothe, and comfort the highly sensitive soul (like yourself). So, grab a cup of tea or something soothing and let’s look at ways that you can cultivate a Soul Salve for yourself this month which you can use at any time when you feel like you could benefit from some extra support.

When things get stressful, overwhelming, or intense; whether these things are coming from within your own personal life or on a larger scale outside of your personal life it can have an impact on the nervous system which can create some additional stress responses. As a highly sensitive person, this natural experience can be felt on what seems like a magnified level. While there are so many wonderful things that come with being highly sensitive, the deep feelings and empathy can make stressful situations well, feel more stressful. (I know that you know this all too well as a fellow HSP.) The good news is that there are things that we can do to honor our sensitivity while also helping to soothe and support ourselves even if we’re experiencing big shifts and intense energies.

The great news is that there’s no right way or one way to do this, there are just the ways that are right for you on any given day. This means you can change, shift, and update your support system at any time which removes any pressure to choose something that you’ll use forever. So, take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth…good, letting go of any stress that you may feel holding space in your chest or stomach, good…remembering, this is something that is personal to you and meant to be a support system, and it can also be fun.

Preparing to Paddle Out | Watching and Readying for your Wave

Happy March…can you feel it? The waves of change are up on us.
Maybe you can physically feel the energy rising up inside of you and maybe you can see it all around you; but no matter how it’s showing up for you, the energy is officially shifting. Here in the Northern Hemisphere, we’re on the cusp of Spring, new beginnings, and a surge of new energy. You may notice that you’re beginning to feel this building of strength, anticipation, and forward motion with you more and more each day. Maybe your energy and enthusiasm are beginning to rise and you’re being guided to line up some of the plans that have been on your list. This is a powerful time to take a deeper dive into what those priorities are for you and to get ready to paddle out so that you can ride your wave.

Have you ever watched (or maybe you’ve experienced this yourself) people paddling out into the water to catch the wave that is right for them? There’s a clear pattern of preparing, patiently waiting, allowing the timing to be right, and then giving themselves permission to go for it when their wave lines up for them, their personal timing, and skill set. This series of preparation and readiness is something we can apply within our own lives right now too. You don’t have to live near the sea in order to ride the waves of life in a way that supports, soothes, and serves your path, calling, or life purpose.

During this month while we’re continuing to foster our own energy, personal growth, and readiness we can begin to prepare for the wave we’ve been waiting for and working toward riding. This is an exciting time; one that can be a catalyst for forward motion and fun. Sometimes it feels like we have to choose either forward motion or fun, and sometimes that’s true; however, there are ways that we can increase fun, joy, and happiness even when we’re moving toward a goal or moment we’ve been working toward for some time. Each aspect is important, worthwhile, and a contribution to our overall experience.

So, this month as you’re noticing your own shifts, alignments, and opportunities opening up for you, I invite you to take a little time to prioritize your planning and playfulness. Tune into your own messages, divine timing, and inner knowing of what is right for you right now so you can ready yourself to paddle out to catch your wave. Your wave is the one that feels and looks like yours; it’s the wave you’ve been waiting for, the wave that you’ve been working toward, and the one that you’re ready to ride into this next phase of your life. This one is taking you to the next part of your year and into this new energy of fresh starts, new beginnings, and new possibilities. Remember you don’t have to force anything to happen nor do you have to go against your own grain. Seemingly small yet significant shifts lead to big positive change. Focusing on one or two things that you can do right now, today, will help to align you with this shift that is happening all around us and within us.

It’s happening within you…right now, right this very moment.
You’re ready.

• Take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth and ask yourself:

• “What action can I take today to bring me closer to my goal, dream, or calling?”

Give yourself permission to hear, see, feel, or know your answer; and then give yourself permission to go for it.

There’s no right or wrong here. Your message may look similar to someone else you know or it may be something completely unique for you. Your answer is the one that matters, and you get to decide how to integrate your messages into your life right now. Take a minute to write down what’s coming through for you and then grab your board and get into the water; your wave is waiting for you.

I’ve included some ideas that may help you to move through this time, but please feel free to adjust them, personalize, them, and create your own list. This is just a starting place to give you some ideas and inspiration to get going.

Lighten Your Load

• If there are things that have been weighing you down, this is a great time to let them go. This can be physical items that you clear out of your closets, pantry, garage, or other nooks where things tend to collect. Donate, gift, and release the things that you’re finished with as a way to create and open up space within and around you. You may notice that you physically feel lighter after this clearing which helps to clear any clutter from your thinking space as well. If there are other things weighing you down, including ways of living, relationships, or old dynamics that have come full circle, it may be time to release those as well.

Shift Your Space

• Sometimes simply moving things around in your home, on your desk, or outside can help you shift the energy in your space. This can help to shake things up and even create a shift in perspective for you and anyone else who lives with you.

Deep Breaths

• Are you holding your breath throughout the day? Do you find your shoulders up around your ears around 3 pm? Do you find yourself taking mouth breaths? You may be holding your breath when you feel overwhelmed, under pressure, or in stressful situations. When you notice this happening, it’s okay, it’s not a judgement, your body is trying to give you signals that it would like some deep breaths and a little reset. Take a moment and do a few deep breaths and move your shoulders a bit so you can put your body back into a gentler state. You may also feel guided to start or resume a meditation practice which can be very beneficial for your overall health and wellness.

Ask for Help

• When you feel like you need some insight, support, or additional hands on deck, please ask for help. Asking for help is a strength and not a weakness. You don’t have to do everything all by yourself all of the time. Ask people in your inner circle for support or reach out for professional support if you’re being guided to do so.

Listen to Your Inner Voice

• Your inner voice is rooting for you. The real you is always on your side, in your corner and sounds and feels like love. You’ve been able to overcome all of the challenges in your life up to this point; and even if you’re venturing out on a brand new experience, keep going. Every step forward is still forward motion and you can do it. If you need help, insight, support, or expertise as you’re moving forward, ask for help. Remember you don’t have to do everything all by yourself all of the time.

I’m wishing you a wonderful month of new beginnings and new opportunities rising to greet you.
I’m sending you oceans of love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world right to you.

With love and gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo

Easy DIY Sugar Scrub

You Will Need:

• 1 Cup of Sugar

• Oil of Choice
  (Fractionated Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, and Apricot Oil are some great options.)

• Essential Oils (Optional)
  (Lavender, Frankincense, and Grapefruit are some great options.)

• Bowl

• Mason Jar or Tupperware style Container

How to Make Your Sugar Scrub:

• In a mixing bowl add your sugar and oil of choice to combine.

• Add a little bit of oil at a time so you create a consistency which feels almost like wet sand.

• If you add a bit too much oil, you can just add a little more sugar.

• If you want to add essential oils, simply add 7-10 drops of your favorite oil to your mixture and mix to combine.

• Then, pour your sugar scrub into your Mason Jar or Tupperware style container

To Use:

• Gently apply your scrub all over to exfoliate your skin.

• The sugar will clear away anything ready to be released while the oil will polish and hydrate your skin.

• Rinse the scrub off your skin, making sure that you get all of it, including from the bottoms of your feet.

• After you’re finished, pat dry and enjoy your rejuvenated skin.

• You may want to use your scrub in the bathtub because the bottom of your feet may be slippery from the oil. If you’re not a bathtub person, just be careful when using in the shower.

• This also makes a great gift or a fun project to make with a friend. Enjoy!

The Magic of February: Tapping Into the Quickening

Happy February!
I hope this finds you well as we move into the shortest month of the year.
While it may be the smallest month, it brings with it new energies and one of my favorite things of the year, the quickening. If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, you may notice that little signs of the quickening begin showing up around you here and there. The quickening is that quiet burst of energy that begins to push through the soil, plants, and even us.

You may notice that you start to have an increased energy, enthusiasm, a burst of creativity, or desire to move forward on some new projects or goals that have been on your mind or on your list. Just like the crocus, hyacinth, and orchards start to make their presence known; you may find that you have a renewed sense of zeal for the new things blooming in your life.

While we’re still in the midst of winter, there’s a feeling that things are slowly but surely picking up speed as we gently move toward a new season. You may feel this push pull within you this month too; one day you may feel guided to go slow and the next day you may feel a pull toward taking action. This ebb and flow is one of the things that I love about this month because we’re in that in between space that allows us to tune into our natural rhythms while we prepare for the new season.

If you’ve been experiencing a slow start to some of your new year things, that’s okay. In fact, this is a powerful time to review some of the things on your list and reassess how they feel for you and it’s a great time to add, subtract, or adjust accordingly. Remember, you get to decide if something is a priority or if it’s being set to the side for whatever reason.

This is also a good time to invest a little time in self care, especially if you’re wanting to increase or reintegrate self care into your routine. There are 28 days in February this year which means that if you choose to focus on doing something for yourself each day this month, it will be a healthy habit that you can more easily honor all year long. Research shows that it takes 21 days to create a new healthy habit, so by the end of the month, it will feel natural for you to continue your practice.

Sometimes when people hear the term self care it can create a little sense of pressure or feel like it’s one more thing to add to your daily list of tasks. However, it doesn’t have to be something that takes a lot of time in your day and there’s no one way or right way to cultivate a self care practice. Your way may look like someone else’s or it may be something that is uniquely yours. The only thing that really matters is that it’s an action that is supportive for you.

Here's a few simple and quick practices that can help you get an idea of some things that resonate for you.

• Morning Mantra or Focus for the Day

• 5 Minute Morning Meditation

• Filling your Diffuser

• Listening to or Playing Music

• Journaling

• Coloring

• Reading for Pleasure

• Going for a Walk

• Drinking Water (maybe with lemon, or mint)

• Saying yes to an activity that feels uplifting or supportive to you

• Saying no to things, people, or activities which feel heavy or draining to you

• Affirmations

• Going to Sleep Early

• Asking for Help if You Need Help

• Baking Some Cookies

• Making Your Favorite Meal

• Learning Something New

• Planting Some Flowers or Herbs

• Clearing Out a Closet, Pantry, or Dresser

• Starting a New Project or Working on an Existing Project

• ______________________________

These are just a few ideas to help you get started on cultivating self care in your own daily life this month. You can choose something that takes only a few minutes or something that takes a bit more time. Sometimes, I think we forget that drinking water, remembering to breathe, and taking down time are very important parts of taking good care of ourselves; and they definitely count as self care. Just like adding money into a piggy bank, it adds up quickly and you are 100% worth the investment.

As you begin your new month, I invite you to tune into your own rhythms each day and connect with this energy of the ebb and flow that’s happening right now. It’s such a magical time of the year and it goes by quickly which adds to the whimsical quality of February. I hope your month is filled with forward motion while also being balanced with things, people, and activities which feel soothing, supportive, and honor your self care.

I’d love to hear how you’re moving through the quickening and the ways that you’re taking good care of yourself this month. I’m planning on doing a little bit of garden preparations, baking, and some winter canning too.

I’m sending you so much love and support from my teeny corner of the world right to you.
With Love and Gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo

Happy New Year: Moving into Your New Year

I hope that 2022 has begun as a gentle and restful beginning for you.

I wanted to wait an extra week before sending you a note at the beginning of the year to support you in easing into the year after the holidays. There’s is a big transition that happens after the holiday season; sometimes this transition time is referred to as the holiday let down or the holiday recovery. No matter what we call it, the shift is real and palpable. Maybe you’ve noticed it in your own life too, the body tends to give us signs and signals letting us know it wants to move a little slower, a little gentler, and a little quieter. This time at the beginning of the year is a gentle reset and we can see and feel this shift happening within and around us in lots of seemingly small, yet significant ways.

With this rhythm of moving slowly into this new year as a guide, you can allow yourself to organically shift into 2022 in the ways that feel right for you. Just like you begin to remove holiday decorations or you reset your home for this new year, you can feel the shift happening in your physical spaces. You may notice that your space feels lighter, more open, and even larger. You may notice that moving through this process of changing things around and putting things away is a gentle and slow process, yet at the same time creates a big impact quickly. You can lean into this same gentle space as you continue to move into this new year in the ways that resonate for you.

In the Northern Hemisphere, we’re in the season of winter, which is traditionally a season of rest. Even though we don’t take the season off per se, there’s still a pull for us to go within and allow our energy reserves to build up in preparation for spring, just like the plants and animals. This may show up for you as a desire to get to sleep a little bit earlier or to focus on the comforts of being warm and cozy inside your home. You may feel guided to do some introspection, journaling, or reading. Perhaps you feel guided to pick up a creative project that has been waiting for you for a while. No matter how this call to rest, rejuvenation, and renewal shows up for you; please know that it’s feeding your energy stores while also comforting and supporting you.

As you begin to think about what this new year may hold for you and what you may like to bring to it, please give yourself permission to listen to your personal rhythm and allow that to be your personal guide. There are often lots of messages about how to move, jump, or dive into the new year. These are great, if they resonate for you. Only you know what the right timing, energy, and approach is right for you, your year, and this particular season of your life.

So, if you’re feeling a tug or a message to slow down or to be more mindful of how you’re moving into this new year so it feels like a true fit for you, please give yourself permission to hear and honor that soul wisdom you’re receiving.
If you’re being guided to fill up your planner, to make a new vision board, or begin your manifesting work, wonderful, enjoy all the creativity that comes along with that. If you find yourself somewhere in between or a little of this and a lot of that, fantastic, lean into that space. Remembering to listen to your internal guidance, wisdom, and energy stores is a powerful force that will allow you to move through your world in the ways that resonate and work for you.

As we move into this new year together, my wish for you is that you will tap into your personal joy, happiness, and peace while moving forward this year in the ways that resonate for you. Thank you so very much for being here with me, I am so honored to share this time with you.

I’m sending you so much love from my teeny tiny corner of the world right to you!
With love and blessings,
Kristy~xoxo

The Season of Light

Happy December~

I hope this finds you well as we welcome the season of light together.
This time of year brings with it lots of extra light; some in the form of teeny lights, fairy lights, lights on homes, in trees, and even in windows. Maybe you’ve already added extra light to your home too. There’s something special and almost magical that happens when you add light to extra spaces in your home. Those little extra lights help to stir something within in us on a soul level. Maybe you’ve noticed this happening for you too; the feeling of deep calm, comfort, quiet, and sometimes a welling up of love and fond memories. Maybe you’ve noticed how these extra lights have a soothing effect on the people in your home and if you have little fur babies, how they’re impacted by the extra light as well.  

Often the light in combination with longer nights and darker days (for those of us living in the northern hemisphere) can create windows of opportunity for deep reflection, slowing down, and a focus on simplicity, and peace. There’s a calling from deep within us asking us to get quiet and to focus on the things that resonate with us on a core level as we prepare to move into a season of rest, renewal, and rejuvenation. While living in a modern world where the cyclical shifts of the seasons can feel like they’re happening next to us while we’re often living in a perpetual forward motion can be challenging. However, we can find ways to work with this push pull dichotomy so that we can integrate these experiences into our own lives in ways that work for us. We’re part of those cycles too and as we find ways to lean into them, we can find a place that feels more like us and feels more enjoyable.

Like most things, there’s no one way or right way to create this experience, there are only the ways that are right for you and your lifestyle; and you’re the only person who knows which ways are the right ways for you. If we think about lighting our lamp from within, we can focus on the aspects, areas, themes, or values that feel soothing, comforting, and like coming home as great places to start. Please remember that there’s no wrong answer here, and you can change your answers by adding to your list or removing things at any time you choose.

You may want to ask yourself the following questions to help you get started:

• What do I know that I need to do for myself right now?

• What is my body telling me that I need right now?

• How can I nurture my soul right now?

• In what ways can I create a space that feels supportive, soothing, and peaceful to me right now?

• What kinds of sounds, scents, and textures feel like the right fit for me right now?

• How can I cultivate a feeling that represents me right now?

• Are there any things I can let go from my to do list right now? If so, what?

• How can I lean into this season of light right now?

• What does the season of light mean to me?

• How can I light my lamp from within right now?

• Is there a theme I want to focus on for this season of light? If so, what?

Some of the things that showed up for you may be things that you expected to find while others may be a surprise for you. Please know this isn’t another thing to add to your to do list but rather an opportunity to understand which areas or aspects of this season are speaking to you. The areas that are prescient for you may be similar to someone else’s but they may be entirely tailored for you. Give yourself permission to lean into your season of light in the ways that resonate for you. This can help to create a season that feels uplifting, supportive, and meaningful for you in a special way. It can also help you to slow down a bit and to feel the experience of the season, the cycles, and the celebratory qualities of this time of year.

This season can bring up lots of big feelings, emotions, and experiences. Sometimes, by taking a little time to cultivate and nurture your own light, it can help ease any big feelings that come up at this time of year. As the days grow darker and the nights longer, we’re given an opportunity to increase our own light and the light we have around us. My wish for you this season is that you allow your light to shine in full spectrum not only for the benefit of your loved ones but also for yourself. Feed your light with the love you have for your life. Fill your light with the things, people, situations, and activities that you love. You may want to add some intentions you have for yourself as well as you continue to light your lamp from within all season long.

In deepest gratitude and love, thank you so much for being here and being part of my life this year.
I’m holding you and yours in my thoughts this season. The light within me honors the lights within you.

I’m sending you all my love from my teeny tiny corner of the world right to you.

Love,
Kristy~ xoxo

Happy & Healthy Holidays for Highly Sensitive People

This month brings with it a noticeable change and you may even be able to feel the shift just from yesterday to today. This month begins and ends with celebratory themes with All saints Day today, All Souls Day and Day of the Dead tomorrow and if you live in the states, Thanksgiving celebrations toward the end of the month and the beginning of the holiday season. I know there are lots of different “official” kickoffs to the holiday season and maybe you count yesterday as the beginning of festivities; whether you’re a day after Thanksgiving person, a November 1st person, A Halloween person or somewhere in between, the time of festivities, family, and food are upon us.

If you’re experiencing a feeling of being in between shock that it’s November and also a feeling of wondering how it’s only November because 2021 has been surprisingly long; you’re not alone. It’s been a year that’s continued to offer us opportunities for growth; but we’re arriving toward the end now which can bring several different aspects and areas into play for many people, especially for highly sensitive souls. (Like yourself)

While this festive time of the year can bring a lot of fun, joy, and excitement; it can sometimes bring stress and challenges too. As a highly sensitive soul, you may need more support, self care, or recharge time than some of the other people in your circle. Knowing what areas may need extra attention as we move into this month, can help you enjoy more of the activities and experiences of this season while also honoring your natural rhythm.

Some of the main themes or areas that show up for highly sensitive people at this time of year include but aren’t limited to: Overwhelm, Boundaries, and Heightened Sensitivity. There are some simple ways that you can work with these areas which will allow you to experience the festivities and not feel like you’re just going through the motions but missing out on the actual fun or joy.

Overwhelm:

If you tend to be very organized, a self starter, someone who naturally focuses on solutions, getting all the things done and checked off the list, this could be an issue that shows up for you. It’s important to remember that it’s healthy and okay to say yes to the things that you want to do and no to the things that aren’t a fit this year. Saying yes to everything can lead to overwhelm, exhaustion, and even feelings of guilt. It’s better to leave a little breathing room in your schedule so you can have time and space to do some things that make this time of year special for you, even if that’s making popcorn, apple cider and watching your favorite movie while wearing cozy jammies.

If you have a hard time saying no, practice telling someone, “Let me get back to you after I check my schedule.”  Or “I wish I could make it, thank you for the invitation but my schedule is already full on that day.” Or, “Thank you for the invitation but as a family we’re choosing to stay home this year.” I promise you that you can do it, and people do understand. Choosing to take good care of yourself is not selfish and you’re not obligated to do all the things, all the time.

Boundaries:

You probably understand better than most people that your energy levels deplete more quickly in different situations, environments, and around certain people. Introverts, Empaths, and Highly Sensitive People need down time to recharge, renew, and rejuvenate daily. Just like your favorite device needs to recharge, so do you. When sensitive souls overstep their own boundaries by agreeing to be in places, environments, and around people that drain them for too long it can lead to burn out, exhaustion, and even other kinds of health challenges. This is not fun and it can be a challenge because like the overwhelm category above, it’s important that you say no to situations that over extend your energy reserves so that you can maintain a sense of balance.

Acknowledging any feelings of guilt, bargaining, or going against your own grain can help you to see those experiences as red flags or stop signs so you can instead choose to honor your boundaries, energy levels, and personal needs. This will help you to lean into activities that are restorative, nurturing, and allow you to refill your well so you feel like your real self while also taking care of your needs and maintain balance.

Heightened Sensitivity:

If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, you’re experiencing less sunlight which can have a powerful impact on Highly Sensitive People. Maybe you’ve experienced varying levels of Seasonal Affective Disorder like so many others. You may feel guided to purchase a full spectrum light, or maybe you enjoy feeling heat on your skin so you enjoy hot baths, hot tubbing, steaming, or sauna to help warm up your body and help uplift your energy and mood.

Some people also experience increased sensitivity in their skin, and senses like sensitivity to lighting, sounds, even energy. You may find that you are drawn to your softest clothing, sheets, blankets, and socks at this time of year. You may need more golden or pink light instead of really bright overhead lighting, and you may notice that you want sounds and energies in your home to be gentler and less abrasive.

All of these experiences are things that can show up for highly sensitive people. You’re not imagining it, it is real, and you’re not the only one who’s going through this experience. The more that you can lean into the things that your body is needing, to the best of your ability of course, the gentler this time will be for you.

In addition to the physical aspects of heightened sensitivity, many people experience more of their natural spiritual gifts, activity, and connection to their guides, angels, and departed loved ones. This isn’t surprising to me at all, as we get quiet, comforted, and are more inwardly focused it can be easier to hear and connect with our spiritual gifts. You may notice this in your own life this month. If this is something that you enjoy, you may want to document it in a notebook or journal so you can look back at your experiences and see themes and messages showing up for you.

I hope that these support systems can be helpful for you this month during this festive and full season. These things don’t have to take a lot of time to implement in your daily life, even seemingly small things will have a big positive impact for you. The info graphic above is full of great ways to support each of the different areas which tend to show up for people right now, but especially for highly sensitive people. Lean into what you know is right for you even if it looks a little bit different than someone else, and let people know what you need and where your limit is so they can honor you the way that you honor the people you love.

I’m wishing you and yours a very happy month filled with abundance and I’m sending you so much love and gratitude from my teeny tiny corner of the world right to you.

All my love,
Kristy~ xoxo

New Month, New Season, New Cycle

Happy October!

A new month and a new season is upon us and if you’re living in the Northern Hemisphere, October may bring to mind all kinds of cozy and comforting energies and memories. While it’s still hot in my little corner of the world, I know that eventually it will start cooling down and all the comforts of the new season will make themselves known.

This is a great time to invest some energy into making your home feel calm, comfortable, and cozy. We’re moving into a time of slowing down, shorter days, and longer evenings. Naturally, there’s a call for us to rest more, to spend more time at home, and to care for ourselves in a gentle way. Maybe you’ve already begun this process, and if you have, you’re already tapping into this new energy.

Seemingly simple shifts can make a big impact on the way you feel and they way you organically move into this new season. You may notice that by making some of these changes, you’ll feel the tone of your home begin to change. You may even notice that the people who live with you, including fur babies respond to this subtle but palpable shift.  Some of these shifts can include pulling out your big duvet cover and the flannel sheets. Maybe you’re already in the process of streamlining your closet and letting go of things that are done and bringing warmer layers into the forefront so they’re easy to find. Maybe you’re putting your gardens to bed for the season and finishing up the last of your canning and preserving and thinking more about baking.

There are so many ways to honor this shift we’re moving through right now and the most important way to experience this shift is in the ways that resonate for you and your home. Only you know what feels like the right fit for you. Maybe you like to incorporate something that was done in your home when you were a child and maybe you’ve found your own recipe for moving into a new season that you love to replicate each year. Maybe it’s a combination of both, a little something old, and some things you’ve curated over time. Maybe this season you’re going to create something brand new that feels like it’s the right choice right now.

Sometimes people tell me that they get nervous that they didn’t do ____________ or ___________ on a particular day or feel they’re running behind on what they feel they should be doing. If any of these feelings show up for you, please take a breath, and know that you’re not alone. This is definitely not something that you have to accomplish all in one day or by a certain calendar date. This is something that is meant to be supportive and comforting for you. You get to decide what that looks like and when it happens. Please give yourself permission to go at your own pace and ask people for help if you could use some support. There’s also no exam, grade, or feedback that will be held over you during this process. Many highly sensitive souls (like yourself) often feel an underlying level of pressure or anxiousness about making sure everything is right, correct, and on point. This natural shift and the way that you choose to mark it is meant to be fun, uplifting, and gentle. Yes, gentle.

You may want to take a little walk through your home to tune in to what you would like to feel, see, hear, and connect with this season. This can be a powerful way to anchor your vision into your home.

You may want to ask yourself:

What does October make me think about?

What makes me feel like it’s October?

What kinds of things do I like to eat and drink during October?

What colors, images, and textures resonate for me when I think about October?

What kinds of activities do I like to do throughout October?

What kinds of sounds resonate for me during October?

What kinds of themes or areas of growth do I want to focus on throughout October?

In what ways do I like to connect with my spiritual self during October?

Your answers to these questions can really help support you in cultivating a month and a space that rises up to greet you as we move into this new energy and season together. These questions will probably spark some other ideas, inspirations, and memories for you too! I’d love to hear how you make this month speak to you.

In addition to the physical shifts you feel guided to make in your home, this is often a powerful time to connect to your spiritual self. It’s not a surprise to me that as we tend to get quieter and spend more time indoors we also increase our ability to connect, hear, and recognize more easily the messages, synchronicities, and divine downloads that are being given to us. Maybe you’ll integrate some meditation, prayer work, or other aspects of your spiritual life to your days throughout October.

I’m wishing you a beautiful month, filled with the things, people, and experiences that will resonate with you and bring you a deep sense of comfort, peace, and happiness. For me, that means making all the things. You’ll find me spending my free time baking, cooking, and making lots of diy’s while adding cozy blankets, throw pillows, and spicy oils into my diffusers.

I’m sending you so much love and gratitude from my teeny corner of the world right to you!

All my love,
Kristy~xoxo

P.S. Thank you so much for the gratitude gifts and for being here with me, I am so grateful to be here with you!

P.P.S. You may know that we’re officially into Mercury Retrograde right now. Breathe, this is not a “bad luck” thing but it is an opportunity to review things, to move mindfully, and to prepare for things to resurface and repeat. This would be a great time to back up your files, your external hard drives, and to take a quick inventory of anything that you may need to refill, replenish, or restore. (This includes us, you may find yourself needing a bit of extra rest at this time too.) I’m wishing you a gentle retrograde cycle and please know that I am here to support you if you feel guided to reach out for some support. xoxo

I’ve had a lot of requests for an opportunity to offer a gratitude gift through patreon or a smiliar platform. I’ve added this option here and on the home page for those of you who feel guided to support my work in this way. If you feel guided to offer a gratitude gift, please click below with my deepest thanks and love. I’m continually humbled by your generosity of spirit, kindness, and support. xoxo

Food for Your Soul

The last couple of weeks a strong message and theme has been showing up for me and I was wondering if you’ve been receiving it too. It’s a message about needing deep genuine true rest, comfort, and care. Not in the sense that I should take a few extra minutes to get up from my desk and stretch between appointments or to make sure that I’m getting outside (when the smoke isn’t too thick), or turning off my screens an hour before I want to sleep at night. The message was about a deep true rest, one that I need to invest in so that I can off load a deep layer of heaviness that is ready to clear. Heaviness from grief over news stories, built up stress, and the day to day intensity of being a highly sensitive person in a not so sensitive world.

Are you receiving this message too?

As a highly sensitive person, (like yourself) it’s imperative that we find ways to take good care of ourselves so that there isn’t a bottoming out of our energy, strength, and sense of joy and life satisfaction. Even if you’ve been doing your daily practice, you may have noticed that there’s something else happening and that you’re in need of something more than your usual recipe of hsp self care.

Please know that if you’re feeling this too, you’re not alone.

Just like you, I have a full schedule of responsibilities and things that need to get done so creating space for a deep rest was an opportunity to stretch my scheduling muscles. Like most things, there’s no one way to honor the divine downloads that you receive. It’s not so much about how you do something, but that you find the ways that are a fit for you and your needs; even if it looks different from someone else.

For me I needed to physically rest my body while also doing something to feed my soul.

I tried to do some things that I really enjoy, so I tried working on an easy knitting project…that didn’t work. I tried to make some fun diy’s that were running low around the house…that didn’t work. I tried to putter around in my garden…that didn’t work.

So, I decided to actually allow myself to lie down and rest and the thing that I did to feed my soul was watch some people I love on youtube cook, bake, and create things. It was really relaxing, soothing, and on a deep level very healing for me. It felt comforting to watch people prepare meals, bake beautiful cakes, preserving food while canning, and making dresses, window boxes, and all kinds of things. This may not seem like a worthwhile investment of my time, but it was exactly what I needed. I could feel that heavy layer that was ready to clear lifting off of me while I truly allowed myself to rest and reset.

No multi tasking, just rest.
No list making, just rest.
No planning, just rest.

Our body and soul knows what we need, but a lot of times we try to work around this wisdom for a variety of reasons. If we can make space, even a small segment of space to honor the messages we’re receiving, we can shift more easily. Maybe the message you’re receiving about rest and feeding your soul will look completely different from my message; the only thing that matters is that you listen to the messages that you’re receiving so you can take good care of yourself right now.

Maybe you’re being guided to:

• Increase more laughter, so watching something that makes you literally laugh out loud will be on the menu for you.

• Increase music in your home whether you play it yourself, or by listening to music, or having it on in the background instead of television.

• Change the foods or beverages you’re eating to something gentler to give your body a rest so it can more easily digest and help increase your energy.

• Let go of something that has run its course allowing your life to become a little more gentle, calm, and comforting.

• Read for pleasure, even if that means reading a book you’ve read before, just for fun.

• Or ________________________________.

You know what kind or rest and care you’re needing right now, please give yourself permission to honor your wisdom.

If you find yourself wondering, “Is this it?”

Take a deep breath, in through your nose, and out through your mouth and then ask yourself,

“What kind of rest and soul support do I need right now?”

Then pay attention to any feelings, ideas or memories, words or sounds, images, tastes and smells you receive. These are messages for you about your personal recipe of soul soothing support right now.

Honoring the messages that you receive even in seemingly small segments of time is a worthwhile investment and it will yield huge dividends for you.
No matter what your personal recipe of support looks like right now, know that it’s the exact right one for you. Just like in *cooking, you can add a bit of this and that to create the perfect dish that’s right for you.

My wish for you is that you will carve out a little bit of time to honor your messages right now and take good care of yourself. We need you! We need that kind, compassionate, beautiful spark that you bring to this world.

Thank you so much for being here, I truly appreciate you!
If you feel guided to work with me this month, I would love to support you whether through and Intuitive Session, Energy Treatment, or a Coaching Session.

I’m sending you love and deepest gratitude from my teeny tiny corner of the world to you.
Love,
Kristy~ xoxo

Finding h.Om.e

I hope this finds you well and enjoying the energy of a brand new month and all that it holds for you. I just got home after a little respite away. It was my first break since January 2020 and it was really great to have a little breather and some time for rest and relaxation.

While I was away the big theme that kept coming up for me was about home. The irony of having a theme about home showing up while traveling away from home is not lost on me. While I’m a native southern California kid who’s currently living in the golden state, I’ve been blessed to live in lots of towns, cities, and states. I think that when you’ve lived in several places you tend to live by the home is where you hang your hat philosophy. (at least for the most part.)

Home is where we are, and investing in making your home a place that rises up to greet you is a powerful and worthwhile investment. That being said, while I was away; I was in a place that was one of my former homes and there is something very special, even magical about going back to a place that you loved to live. The coastline of my childhood, the sounds, sights, and even the salty air brought me back to days of laughing and playing on that beach as well as enjoying it in real time now. There’s a slipping in and out of time that happens when you go home, to a place that is no longer your home but still feels like home in your heart. Maybe you’ve experienced this too and can feel that experience replaying for you right now.

One of the cool things about living in lots of places is that you understand and experience how you can create these new chapters for your life filled with new people, places, and qualities of life by shifting into a new space. You don’t have to physically move to a new town, city, or state to experience this, even shifting the energy, items, and sometimes people in your home can create a shift in other areas of your life too. If you think about a place you lived, even if it was just on the other side of town several years ago and you think about what that chapter of your life looked and felt like and then you think about where you are now, you can notice the change of one of your life chapters.

So, if home is where we are, and we make a conscious effort to create a home that resonates and honors us to the best of our ability then why all the fuss about moving here or there? Sometimes, as things shift and the story of our lives takes on new tasks, themes, and character arcs, we begin to be guided to new places. It’s like a little beacon or lighthouse turns on, helping to guide us to the next place we’re meant to be. Sometimes, we feel like we’ve been looking for that guiding light for a really long time while other times we think uh oh, nope not now. No matter how we feel about that internal nudge preparing us for the changes that are happening, it’s important to know that inside we can feel and we know when it’s time to make a change. We know when things are shifting and we know that when we honor that inner guidance to the best of our ability, we’ll be able to lean into home wherever that may be.

The truth is that there are places that are better suited for us based on who we are and the values we have about the kind of life that we want to live. Being honest with ourselves about what those things are and where they rank on our lists of joy, happiness, and life satisfaction are big indicators of where we are now and where we’re being guided to go next. Sometimes these values change based on the different chapters of our lives. I definitely wouldn’t choose to move back to the studio I lived in while I was a student but man, I loved that place while I lived there and it holds so many great memories for me. It’s a little time capsule of that time of my life and I’m so grateful for it.

There’s a lot of change happening around home, moving, and shifting gears right now. Maybe you can feel it too. Maybe you’re in the process of moving, just moved, or you’re feeling that lighthouse beginning to flash for you, letting you know that you’re being directed home, to your next home, wherever that may be. However this powerful theme of home and change is showing up for you right now, please give yourself permission to move through it and feel all the feelings that come up for you around this big shift.

While surrendering to change can be challenging sometimes, the more we can let go and allow ourselves to receive the support that’s all around and within us, the easier it is to allow the tide to take us to the next space, place, and calling. As a highly sensitive person, you’re really gifted at finding ways to get things done, create solutions, and quietly manage the things going on in your life while also lending a helping hand to those that you love. Please remember that it’s safe for you to ask for and receive help and support too. Sometimes, we could all use a little tow line to get us out of bumpy waters and I promise you that there are kind loving people who would love to help you move through the changes that are showing up for you right now.

Home is where the heart is and finding h.Om.e is a constant opportunity for us to lean into where we are right now and where we’re being guided to go next. While change is the only constant in our lives, our true north is always within us, gently (sometimes not so gently) leading us home. Our job is to make the journey. My wish for you this month as this theme is really strong, is to take a little time to connect with the energy of what home means for you and how you can lean into the guidance you’re receiving about this powerful thing we call home.

As always, I’m sending you so much support and love from my teeny tiny corner of the world, right to you.

With Love and Gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo

I’ve included a picture from my trip, this picture doesn’t have any filters or adjustments made to it, this is how it really looks and the water was really glowing. I hope it helps bring a little joy and magic to your day.

*Wondering about the h.Om.e?
I know this isn’t the correct spelling but this whole theme brought me back to titling my book. It was a 50/50 on the title and that’s why the spelling on the book has one capital and one lower case letter as it’s a play on finding home and finding OM.

A Time for Rest

I’ve been thinking about you and wanted to check in with you and see how you’re doing. We’ve made it to July which feels like such a huge marker and a perfect time to do a little house keeping.

One of the biggest themes that’s been showing up lately has been about creating and carving out time for genuine rest.

Maybe you’ve been getting this message too.

It’s been a pretty loud message for a while but seems to have increased exponentially lately. This message can show up in lots of different ways, usually showing up for us in the ways that resonate for us on an individual level. Maybe some or all of the messages below will resonate for you right now.

Maybe you feel like you’ve been burning the candle at both ends for so long you don’t know how long you’ve been needing a real and genuine rest.

Maybe you feel like most or many of your days are repeating over and over again and you’re marking them by the different clothes you’re wearing each day but for the most part you’re just getting up and getting it done and then going to sleep and doing it all again the next day.
(Trust me, you’re not alone in experiencing this, I’m feeling it and so many people I talk to are feeling it too.)

Maybe you’re just feeling like you need a break and want to have some fun and feel or see a different environment or place after so many months of staying home.

Maybe you’re feeling exhausted but can’t quite put your finger on why that might be because you’re getting the exact right number of hours of sleep per night, you drink the exact right amount of water, you’re doing all the things, and still feel a bit off.

Maybe you’re just feeling a bit burned out.
No matter how this experience or message is showing up for you, please know that you’re not alone and you’re not imagining this. This isn’t a message about needing to push harder or try to do more to move past the hurdles you’re experiencing as exhaustion.

You may be experiencing some residual stress and lethargy from managing all the things you’ve been dealing with for so long as we’ve all moved through this intense time and are still moving through it in different ways each day.

There’s an incremental experience that happens when moving through a prolonged intensity and eventually the body, soul, and mind get to a place where they all collectively say, I need some rest and relaxation.
If you’re finding yourself in this space right now, welcome; you’re in really good company.

This month is often a time when we think about relaxing, restoring, and rejuvenating as it’s often a time when people have more flexibility in their schedules and may even plan holidays and vacations.
Maybe this is traditionally a time that you look forward to getting away and letting go for a while.

Depending on where you live and what’s happening right now, you may or may not be able to plan to do something for a little get away. This in and of itself can lead to more feelings of overwhelm and frustration about another fun experience being postponed or adjusted.

However, no matter what your situation may be, the need for genuine rest is real.

It’s such a strong message right now, that people are finding that if they try to push past this, they are being given opportunities to experience forced rest. (This isn’t fun and often shows up as feeling under the weather.)

So, the theme right now is about finding ways to carve out time for genuine rest, and you can do that even if you’re participating in a staycation again this year.
Focus on the things that make you feel:

• Happy

• Joyful

• Uplifted

• Relaxed

• At Ease

• Rested

• Comforted

• Supported

• Nurtured

• And ___________________________________

Give yourself permission to lean into activities and situations that fulfill you from the inside out. When we invest in things we love, even in seemingly small doses, we bank energy, enthusiasm, life satisfaction, and we tend to feel more like ourselves too.

Doing things that resonate for us on a soul level helps us to experience more joy, happiness, and a better quality of life. These kinds of investments are worth while in so many ways. When we take time to do these things, even in little pockets throughout the day, we begin to refill our own well which allows us to experience more balance and more rest.

Ask yourself:

• What do I feel like I need right now?

• How can I create more joy for myself?

• What would I love to do right now?

• How can I make that happen?

• Is there anything that I could be doing to make this month more fulfilling?

• How can I increase genuine rest in my life right now?

This month, no matter what your schedule may be, please take some time each day to invest in laughter, fun, joy, and anything that resonates for your soul.
(Even if that means taking a nap and watching one of your favorite movies that you’ve seen over and over again.)

This message or theme is a powerful one that is supporting us in getting back into a place of balance or at least helping us to move closer to that place.

As you honor the messages that are showing up for you right now, you’ll find that you feel more like yourself and more at ease as we move forward together.

I’m sending you so much support as you continue to take really good care of yourself right now.

Please know that I’m here for you to offer you support in any ways that resonate for you whether through a Coaching Session, Intuitive Session, or an Energy Treatment.

I’m sending you a huge hug and so much love from my teeny tiny corner of the world right to you.
Love,
Kristy~xoxo

Reflecting + Retrograding = Reprioritizing

Can you believe it’s officially June and we’re halfway through the year? I don’t know about you, but this year has felt like a wave of repeats in so many ways. Some days feel like they’re happening over and over again while other days and weeks just seem to meld into one another and it feels like I can’t believe another month has passed.

Are you feeling this too?
It’s like we’re collectively and individually getting to experience the malleability of time.

Here we are, halfway through the year, with an equal amount of time ahead of us as the amount of time that is behind us. This is an opportunity to create a marker for ourselves and for the projects or aspects of our lives that we’ve been working through so far in 2021. Maybe you’re like me and really love these kinds of markers because it gives us a chance to do some review, some planning, and some opportunities to see where there’s room for streamlining as well as doubling down on some of the things that are on our list for the year.

If this isn’t really your cup of tea, that’s okay too, even taking a few minutes to think about what your themes for the year have been so far and what kinds of things or aspects you’d like to have more of in the next 6 months (or maybe not so much of) still counts as honoring this 6 month marker. It’s a palpable shift for us no matter which ways we choose to move through this doorway of the year.

In addition to this halfway energy that’s happening for us this month, we’re also moving through Mercury Retrograde right now. Isn’t that perfect timing for a little review of our year so far? During these times we’re often given opportunities to rework, redo, reveal, review, etc. during these retrograde cycles. You can think of the re words that are showing up for you right now; and begin to see some themes that you are personally working through during this retrograde cycle in addition to the things you’re experiencing in your day to day life.

Some of these themes can include but aren’t limited to:

• Rest

• Restore

• Renew

• Replenish

• Reset

• Rejuvenate

• Relaxation

• Reinvent

• Reestablish

• Regenerate

• Research

• Revisit

• Return

• Rejoice

• Revoke

• Refuse

• Re____

If you’ve been part of the Chloe Ting sensation over the past year or so, you may actually hear the words and music “rewind time everybody” playing in your head right now when you think about re words and that would be a great example of this energy.

Not only are we being given a chance to review, readjust, and reset our personal plans right now, we’re also experiencing some repeating themes on a larger scale that we’ve all moved through together over the last year and a half too. We’re already seeing severe lockdowns again in the UK, parts of Canada, and there are messages about other locations experiencing similar regulations soon. Even among smaller regions like counties and states there are varying degrees of orders and regulations being implemented at this time.

Some of the things that I’ve seen around this issue include some similar pinches in availability of products and goods that we’ve seen in the last 16 months or so. Depending on where you live, you may have been experiencing some grid and communication issues, especially in the last few weeks. I see more of these kinds of things popping up for many places. Again, we see this is a big theme when we move into a Mercury Retrograde time in any year; so it’s a great time to make sure you’re saving your work, backing up, and keeping your devices charged to the best of your ability.

You may feel inclined to pick up a few extra things you may need from the store, or fill up your gas tank in your vehicle, and have some extra water on hand too. I’m a native southern California kid so we always had earthquake kits set up just in case, and this is a good time to set up some things that you may need or that seem to be running low just in case there’s a pinch in the supply chains.

This is also a good time to do some clearing up around your home and property especially if you live in a state that has fire issues when the weather heats up; and to have things on hand if there are repeats with the grid powering down during the fire season.

As you can see, this is a big moment we’re moving through right now and as a highly sensitive person, I know you’re feeling this big energy too. Please remember that as we continue to move through this time, it’s really important to make sure you’re taking good care of yourself and that you’re building in some quiet recharge time for yourself so you can come back into balance throughout the day. You don’t have to spend a lot of time doing this, and there’s no one way or right way, just the ways that are right for you on any particular day.

It isn’t so much about what you do to honor your needs as a gentle soul but that you do something each day, even if only for a few minutes here and a few minutes there. All of the investments you make to honor your needs and the messages you’re receiving about taking good care of yourself, add up to big positive shifts for you and the way you feel. Yes, you’re worth it!

I’m so looking forward to working with you this month whether you schedule a reading, energy treatment, or coaching session.

I’m wishing you a very gentle and restorative Mercury Retrograde cycle and a wonderful month.

I’m sending you so much love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world right to you!

With love and gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo
