Release with the Full Moon yang energy
Are you feeling the energy from Saturday night's Full Moon in Leo? The Full Moon always packs a punch for me, amplifying everything I'm feeling! When Mother Moon starts her journey each month in the Dark Moon / New Moon, her energy is Yin - receiving, gentle, intuitive, and calm. Her energy waxes (increases) throughout… Continue reading Release with the Full Moon yang energy
Release with the Frosty Full Moon
At 2:44 PM here in Vancouver (22:44 UTC), the Moon is at its fullest and finds itself in Gemini. This full moon is known as the Frosty Moon - as well as the Beaver Moon. I love the energy of the Full Moon - such an intense time! At this time, our emotions can become… Continue reading Release with the Frosty Full Moon
Life Hack: Balancing emotions in the Full Moon in Pisces
Yesterday we celebrated the Full Moon and Super Moon. The moon was in Pisces - a water sign, a sign of compassion, and ruled by Neptune, God of the Sea - so one should expect heightened energy around anything governed by the water element: emotions, creativity, intuition, dreams and the subconscious. It's so important to… Continue reading Life Hack: Balancing emotions in the Full Moon in Pisces
Harness the Energy of Water on the August Full Moon
In the past week - during the waxing gibbous moon - I was able to tackle a few of the decluttering projects I had recommended (kitchen and bathroom) in an earlier post, and I’m glad I did!

Energizing with the Gibbous Waxing Moon
I'm finding myself drawn more and more to the lunar cycles, aligning my work and spiritual practices with the waxing and waning energies of the moon.

Life Hack: use your intuition to make more authentic decisions
Does intuition play a part in your life? It definitely does in mine. For instance, decision-making becomes difficult at times and I wrestle with what to do... I get into that rut of over-thinking, analysis-paralysis. When that happens, I turn to my Wise Self for help: "What do I need to know or do to… Continue reading Life Hack: use your intuition to make more authentic decisions
Tip of the Day: you’re not aging… you’re aligning with your wisdom!
Recently I have spent time with several people, agonizing about their upcoming 30th birthdays.... and perhaps not noticing the irony of sharing their fears with someone twice their age! Life brings us many milestones, all worthy of celebration. But at times, I definitely hear concern in the voices of friends - and clients - about… Continue reading Tip of the Day: you’re not aging… you’re aligning with your wisdom!
Beltaine Blessings: A Sacred Dance with Gaia
On May 1st — or a few days later, if we observe "true" Beltaine — we celebrate Beltaine in the northern hemisphere and Samhain in the southern hemisphere. These are my favourite celebrations in the Celtic calendar, a time to tune in to the rhythms of Nature and celebrate the seasons, the elements, and the sacred dance… Continue reading Beltaine Blessings: A Sacred Dance with Gaia
Easter-Eostre: a time of rebirth and renewal
Many people today are celebrating Easter Sunday, the oldest religious holiday in the Christian calendar. It is believed that the name "Easter" comes from the old English celebration "Eostre" or Ostara. Alternate names - such as when we speak of the Paschal feast - come from the holiday's association with Passover, "Pesach". Many religions celebrate… Continue reading Easter-Eostre: a time of rebirth and renewal
