I’m feeling deeply renewed back home in NYC after spending sacred time in Italy on a transformative spiritual retreat and on holiday with my family.

When you embark on a path of healing, usually it’s not because your life is completely hunky dory.

Our car got rear-ended on the July 4th holiday weekend in our neighborhood in Queens, New York City. Fortunately, we were all fine and the car will be ok… but it made me wonder, why this crash from the rear would happen so forcefully while we were stopped at a red light? What does it mean energetically?

How is it possible to nurture peace and harmony when the world feels so full of tumultuousness and discord? I don’t have all the answers… but I’ve received one.

Lately it feels like, as a culture, we’ve gotten further and further away from our hearts.

Not only did studying reiki give me strong foundational understanding of energy healing, but also it opened a portal to deepen my intuitive gifts.

Reiki is one of the core practices, along with the akashic records and sound, that I weave into all of my healing and creative work.

The thing about lightning is that what we see is just a tiny fraction of a culmination of a whole set of conditions.

At the beginning of this year, I channeled the energetic themes for each month, and the word that came through for April is:

Lightning

What I didn’t realize pre-spiritual awakening, was how I’d been unknowingly holding myself back from fully feeling true joy, passion, and peace.

The deeper I go into my spiritual journey, the more I understand that there really are no coincidences.

I’ve always been a very multi-faceted person—since before I was even born! My parents came from different continents and the imprints of my ancestors are seamlessly woven together within me.

Last winter I co-facilitated a workshop with my dear friend, Rianne Vestuto, and during our preparations she said something really profound that stuck with me. She said, “It’s so vulnerable to lead.”

Happy 13th day of March! I’ve been seeing the number 13 a lot today, which is a number associated with the divine feminine. One of the most profound keys to healing is to simply re-connect to the divine feminine within.

My first memory of moving energy was as a kid—directing pain from my body outward onto my bed. I saw my discomfort as tiny particles of lights and I was pleasantly surprised to feel relief.

We are all energetically sensitive beings. But most of us have subconsciously learned to dull our sensitivity in order to cope with a world that feels overwhelmingly harsh.

In many ways, I’ve considered myself a bit of a lone wolf—an outsider. But haven’t you felt that way, too?
