Can you believe it? We’ve officially made it through half of 2023!
Let’s take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate the wins, big and small, that have shaped our journey so far. It’s time to revisit the intentions we set at the beginning of the year, dig deep, and make the most of the remaining months to reach our goals.
For me, the energy that comes with the summer months is a great time to renew focus, set clear intentions, and be in gratitude for all that has unfolded and all of the opportunities that lay ahead.
Celebrating Wins:
Pause for a moment and reflect on the milestones you’ve achieved in the past six months. Maybe you completed a challenging project at work, nurtured a new relationship, or made progress towards your personal growth journey. Celebrate these accomplishments, for they are the stepping stones that have led you to where you are today. Remember, I’m team, “We celebrate all wins.” Every step forward, no matter how small, deserves recognition and applause. So, take a moment and write out a list of your wins so far this year. Really celebrate them. Don’t allow yourself to gloss over them or downplay them. YOU DID THAT! WOOHOO!
Revisiting Intentions: Now is the perfect time to reconnect with the intentions you set at the beginning of the year. Have they evolved? Are they still aligned with your current desires and aspirations? Take a pen and paper, sit in a quiet space, and allow yourself to delve into your intentions once again. Revisit them with an open heart, making any necessary adjustments or additions. This act of conscious reflection sets the stage for the next phase of your journey. There is absolutely nothing wrong with shifting focus, expanding desires, or letting things go. Hopefully, one of the things that we are celebrating from the first half of the year is growth and with growth comes the need to reevaluate to ensure alignment.
Embracing Renewed Focus:
As we enter the second half of the year, it’s natural to feel a renewed sense of motivation and purpose. Use this energy to refocus your attention on what truly matters to you. Identify the key areas of your life that require your attention and set clear priorities. Break down your goals into actionable steps and create a plan that will guide you towards their fulfillment. Remember, focus is the fuel that propels us forward, even in the face of challenges.
Setting Clear Intentions:
Intentions are the compass that guides our actions and shapes our experiences. If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times (literally)….Energy Follows Intent. Take time to clarify what you truly desire for the rest of the year. Visualize your ideal outcomes and allow yourself to dream big. From there, distill your intentions into concise statements that resonate with your heart and soul. Write them down, keep them visible, and let them serve as a constant reminder of the direction you’re moving towards.
Cultivating Gratitude:
Gratitude is a powerful catalyst for positive change. As we move forward, let’s cultivate a deep sense of appreciation for all that life has to offer. Take a few moments each day to reflect on the blessings, lessons, and opportunities that surround you. Express gratitude for the people who have supported and inspired you, the experiences that have shaped your growth, and the simple joys that bring a smile to your face. Gratitude amplifies abundance and opens doors to even greater possibilities.
As we step into the second half of the year, let’s carry forward the momentum, lessons, and experiences that have brought us here. With renewed focus, clear intentions, and gratitude as our guiding lights, we have the power to make the remaining months of 2023 truly remarkable.
Here’s to joy, growth, and boundless possibilities.
” The universe is made of sound. Everything vibrates. When you change the vibration, you change the reality.” – Dr. David Hawkins
Sound is all around us. It can be heard, felt, and even seen. But did you know that sound can also be used for healing?
Sound healing is an ancient practice that uses sound waves to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It is based on the belief that everything in the universe is made up of energy, and that sound can be used to balance and harmonize the body’s energy field.
There are many different ways to use sound for healing. Some people use singing bowls, gongs, or other instruments to create specific sound frequencies. Others use their voice to chant or sing. And still others simply listen to recordings of specific sound frequencies.
Explore! There are many different types of sound healing, and not all of them are created equal. What works for you body and goal may require a few rounds of trial and working with someone who is experienced in sound healing modalities is a major plus.
Be patient. Sound healing is not a quick fix. It takes time and commitment to see results. But if you’re willing to put in the work, sound healing can be a powerful tool for transforming your life.
Have fun! Sound healing is a beautiful and transformative experience. Allow yourself to relax and enjoy the process. No matter how you choose to use it, sound healing can be a powerful tool for self-care and healing. If you’ve worked with me in a group or 1-on-1 capacity it’s pretty safe to assume that I incorporated the use of frequencies at some point during our time together. I absolutely LOVE the use of sound to shift the “feel” in a room, create deeper connection to spirit, and disperse stuck or trapped energies within a body during clearing work. There are an abundance of sound tracks available on YouTube if this is something that feels aligned to you. Set the intention that you find a track that resonates with your best and highest good, type in a search term, and select a track that best suits your needs. Try a frequency for 7 days and let me know if you notice anything.
Here are a few basic frequencies and what they are good for.
432 Hz: This is the frequency of nature and is said to promote relaxation and well-being.
528 Hz: This is the frequency of love and is said to promote healing and transformation.
741 Hz: This is the frequency of communication and is said to promote clarity and understanding.
852 Hz: This is the frequency of self-actualization and is said to promote personal growth and development.
963 Hz: This is the frequency of unity and is said to promote connection with the divine.
For a fully immersive sound healing experience, join me in Costa Rica July 28th – August 3rd, 2023. In the next newsletter, I will talk about Sound Baths. There are four full sound bath sessions during the Soul Wellness Retreat and some additional fun ways we bring in sound.
For a few moments, I want you to adopt a cosmic perspective. I encourage you to go on a journey past the date and time on the calendar, the location where you are at this moment, and everything that is happening on the planet right now. Allow yourself to go beyond planet Earth and consider not just our solar system, but the many galaxies that make up the universe. As you see, sense, hear, feel or know all the stars, planets, and galaxies, consider how they are all perfectly aligned to be in relationship with each other. We are always in a beautiful dance with the energy of heavenly bodies that are far beyond our field of knowing. In this moment, the cosmic dance has brought us to the Spring Equinox, the time of rebirth and renewal.
During the Spring Equinox, we have the opportunity to see clearly where we are and give energy to creating the life we want to experience. Cosmically, the sun crosses the celestial equator, bringing equal hours of light and darkness to our planet. We celebrate the fact that all of the planets and galaxies once again support us to release the baggage (and, for some of us, the weight) that we collected during the Winter, and begin to dance in the light of the sun once again. The Spring Equinox is when the dance of life picks up the pace and calls us into action.
I have received guidance from the Ancestral realm and the Akashic Records that this is a pivotal year to get moving and stand in your power to create your reality. This season will leave many of us changed. It is up to you whether that change will result in tangible results or hard reflections about what could have been. I’ve said this several times since the beginning of 2023 – there is so much support available from our Ancestors and Guides that has the potential to propel lives forward by leap years. Each of us is a dancer in this cosmic cycle, and if we each play our part, this year especially, we will see tremendous progress.
The Soul Wellness Retreat in Costa Rica was born out of this mandate to align with maximum healing in 2023. This transformational retreat has been carefully cultivated to remove stagnant energy and elevate souls to their most divine light so that they are energized to execute their intentions. With sound healing, yoga, tropical excursions and a mountaintop resort, the obstacles to connecting to your inner guidance is removed. If I wasn’t facilitating it, this is the retreat I would want to attend!
Educating Akashic students is also going to a higher level with the Soul Wisdom Akashic Mastery Training program. This program offers instruction of the higher dimensions of the Akashic Records, including the Soul Blueprint, expanded reading types, and how to create an Akashic Reading business. It’s the most comprehensive program I have had to date, and it is launching this Spring!
What’s most important in all of these offerings is that we have got to get moving. Embody all that you have been hoping and dreaming for yourself. If you haven’t been able to find hope for a very long time, now is the time to dream big and set intentions.
Here are some ways that you can use the energy of the Spring Equinox to your advantage.
These are five rituals or embodied practices that you can incorporate into your practice of welcoming in the energy of Spring.
Spring cleaning: This is a common practice associated with the Spring Equinox. Cleaning your living space and getting rid of clutter and unnecessary items can create a sense of renewal and freshness, just as the natural world begins to bloom again. You can also clean out your mind by checking in with yourself to release the thoughts you no longer align with.
Planting seeds: Planting seeds or starting a garden is a great way to connect with the energy of growth and new beginnings. You can plant flowers or vegetables, or even start an indoor herb garden if you don’t have access to outdoor space.
Prepare a big meal: The Spring Equinox is traditionally a time of celebration and feasting in many cultures. You can create a meal using fresh, seasonal ingredients and invite friends or family to join you. This can be a great way to connect with others and express gratitude for the abundance of the natural world.
Creating an altar: Creating an altar or sacred space can help you connect with the energy of the Spring Equinox. You can include symbols of growth, renewal, and fertility, such as flowers, seeds, eggs, or images of animals associated with springtime. You can also use this space for meditation or reflection.
Talk to a Tree: Trees are wise allies and supportive entities. They can help you connect with the natural rhythms of the Earth and feel a sense of renewal and connection.
Let me know which one(s) you do or your own personal Spring Equinox ritual. I love to learn new things and I always appreciate how others are celebrating various energies.
“The secret of healing is the realization that we are pure energy, pure consciousness, a field of intelligence that is entangled with the field of the universe.” – Deepak Chopra
Just as bodily hygiene is crucial to feel good in your skin, spiritual hygiene is necessary to feel balanced and aligned in your inner being. If you have not yet cultivated a habit of spiritual clearing, now is a great time to get started.
Energy clearing is a spiritual practice that involves removing negative energy or blockages from a person, place, or thing. It is based on the idea that everything in the universe is made up of energy, and that this energy can be influenced by outside forces, including thoughts, emotions, and actions.
In the physical body, energy is experienced through the flow of vital life force energy, also known as chi, prana, or qi. This energy is believed to flow through the body’s energy channels, also known as meridians, and is influenced by our thoughts, emotions, and actions. When this energy flow is disrupted, it can result in physical, emotional, or mental imbalances.
In spiritual traditions, there are many things that can cause the spirit body to become imbalanced or in need of cleansing. Here are a few examples:
Negative thoughts and emotions: Anger, fear, or sadness, are believed to create negative energy that can become trapped in the spirit body.
Trauma and stress: Traumatic experiences or prolonged stress can also create negative energy that can become stuck in the spirit body, leading to imbalances and blockages.
Unhealthy habits: Poor diet, lack of exercise, or substance abuse, can also contribute to imbalances in the spirit body.
Environmental factors: Exposure to negative or chaotic environments, such as a cluttered or disorganized living space, can also affect the energy of the spirit body.
Spiritual disconnection: Disconnecting from one’s spiritual practice or losing touch with one’s sense of purpose or connection to the divine can also create imbalances in the spirit body.
In addition to its use in individual healing, energy clearing can also be used to clear negative energy from physical spaces, such as homes or workplaces. This is often done to create a more positive and harmonious environment, and to remove any lingering negative energy from previous occupants or events.
Where does the negative energy go when it is cleared? One belief is that negative energy is transmuted into positive energy that can be used for healing and growth. Another belief is that negative energy is released into the universe and dissipated. Still, others believe that negative energy is simply neutralized and rendered harmless. In my experience, I define what I want the energy to do. I take authority over the energy and intentionally change it from one state to another, knowing that what I declare to be done, is so.
I also recommend doing your energy clearing in the Akashic Records. In my workshops, classes and CHI Community Membership I offer clearings within the Akashic Records that heal the energetic imprint for lasting change on all levels.
You can also use tools that assist in energy clearing. Here are some examples of physical objects that are commonly used:
Crystals: Many types of crystals and gemstones are believed to have properties that can help clear or balance the energy of the body or environment. They are often placed on or around the body or used to create a grid for energy clearing.
Palo Santo and other herbs: Burning palo santo or other herbs, such as white pine, is a common practice for clearing negative energy in the environment. This practice, known as smudging, is believed to help release any negative energy and promote a more positive energy flow.
Essential oils: Essential oils are sometimes used in energy clearing practices for their aromatherapy properties. Certain oils, such as lavender or peppermint, are believed to promote feelings of calm and balance.
Sound instruments: Various sound instruments, such as singing bowls, gongs, or chimes, are used in energy clearing practices for their ability to produce vibrations that can help release blocked energy.
Salt: Salt is often used in energy clearing practices, either by sprinkling it around a space or taking a salt bath. This is believed to help release any negative energy and promote a more positive energy flow.
In general, it is recommended to listen to your own intuition and inner guidance when it comes to spiritual energy clearing. If you feel that you are carrying heavy or negative energy, or if you are feeling stuck or stagnant, it may be a good time to engage in an energy clearing practice.

Whether you connect with your Ancestors on a consistent basis or not, you are interacting with and being impacted by the energy they created in their embodied experience. How can this be? According to the law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can be transformed from one form to another. This law is true for every category of thing that exists: object or living. So, the energy of those who we have directly descended from, or those who we look to as Collective Ancestors, is still available to us in pure potential form.
This is exciting news! This means that we have the opportunity to harness the energy of the Ancestors and integrate it into our lived experience in ways that we need it the most. In fact, there are many benefits to incorporating the energy of the Ancestors on the individual and collective level.
Connection to the past and a sense of belonging: Honoring ancestors can help individuals feel a connection to their heritage, culture, and history. The idea that everything is energy suggests that this connection is not just physical or emotional, but also spiritual and energetic. This can create a sense of shared history and shared responsibility to carry forward the traditions and values of previous generations.
Preservation of cultural heritage: Honoring ancestors can help preserve cultural heritage by passing down stories, traditions, and values from one generation to the next. The idea that everything is energy suggests that these cultural traditions are not just physical or intellectual, but also energetic and connected to the spiritual realm. This helps ensure that the cultural heritage of a community is not lost or forgotten.
A source of inspiration and guidance: Collective ancestors can serve as a source of inspiration and guidance for individuals and communities. The idea that everything is energy suggests that ancestors are not just remembered through physical artifacts and stories, but also through the energetic connections that exist between generations. Their examples can be used to help individuals overcome challenges and make difficult decisions.
Strengthening community bonds: Honoring collective ancestors can help build and strengthen bonds within a community by fostering a shared sense of history and shared responsibility to maintain cultural traditions and values. The idea that everything is energy suggests that these bonds are not just physical or emotional, but also energetic and interconnected.
Balancing and harmonizing energy fields: The idea that everything is energy suggests that honoring ancestors can help balance and harmonize the energy fields that exist between generations, fostering a greater sense of unity and connectedness within families and communities.
Overall, honoring ancestors and incorporating the idea that everything is energy can provide individuals and communities with a deeper sense of belonging, connection, and identity, while also serving as a source of inspiration and guidance in their lives.
For the remainder of this month, I want to encourage you to try intentionally working with the energy of your collective and personal Ancestors. Here are some suggestions on how to do just that.
Set up an altar in your personal space. It can be as simple as a clean surface with a glass of water and a candle. You don’t have to have photos of Ancestors on your altar. A simple list of names could suffice.
Join a group of like-minded people who have the intention to honor Collective Ancestors.
Work with an Ancestral Lineage Healer to heal a consistent issue in your Personal Ancestral Lineage.
Make a list of all the goals you want to achieve in your life, and read the list in front of your Ancestor altar while inviting them to support you.
Make a list of the positive qualities that the Collective Ancestors exhibited and call those qualities into your own life.
This Ancestral energy is yours, and the Ancestors want us to have it. How will you tap into their energy today?
