The Light is upon you.
Like the star on the tree in the photo above. The purest energy blazes as the brightest light among so much light. Available for you. Available for all. Sometimes an image serves as decoration. Other times, it brings an invitation.
Your capacity to engage the Light is enhanced during the holy days, the solstice, and appearance of bright heavenly planets.
Amidst the preparation for time spent alone or with family and friends, you may take a few moments to call upon this Holy Light with this simple meditation.
Settle into stillness as you breathe with eyes open, tuning into this image.
Breathing deeply, you close your eyes and hold the image of this bright star above your own head. Let it pulse there while you notice your body and enjoy the stillness. Relaxing more with every exhale and joining your energy with the light of Pachamama (Mother Earth).
Open your heart, deepen your breath, and call down the Holy Light. Sensing the Presence flow gently through the top of your head and cascade down your body. The Light moves with the breath, naturally and easily.
Every cell opens to the pure love offered from this Star Light.
Enjoy the quiet moments while you inhabit your body, pulsing with this Divine Energy. The breath carries the Light. The Light carries the healing potential of Love. Allowing this energy to inhabit every cell, you brighten.
When you embody this Star – this Holy Light – you brighten this world.
Sharing the pure energy of Love is as natural as breathing. So you breathe with the intent to flood the world with Light. With every inhale you draw down Star Light. With every exhale, you radiate Love to the planet.
Offering nourishment to one another. Every other. Everyone.
I am wishing you the fullness of Love this holiday season. However, this time is showing up for you, may your heart open to what is within you. That absolute loveliness of your light filled nature. May you know peace within this stillness and within this Light.
Peace be with you and with all. No exceptions.
A one minute meditation is good for your Soul. And your body, mind, emotions, and energy. The benefits of meditation for wellbeing at every level has been well documented. In busy times, more meditative moments – even when done in tiny increments – may be the perfect holiday gift. For yourself and for those around you. 60 seconds. Close your eyes and breathe as you invite your body to relax. Listening to the silence or the noise, your only focus is breathing and settling within your body. Soothing your nervous system opens your heart and clears your mind. Inviting you to return to day with greater clarity and peace.
Learn the one essential skill that allows you to face any challenge with confidence, sturdiness, and inner calm.
More than a technique. It’s a game changer.
When standing at a crossroad in your life, it’s natural to seek answers. To search for certainty about your next steps. To want assurance that the decision you are making will lead you in the right direction, with the best possible outcome. Here’s where your mind jumps in.
There are conversations you may instinctively avoid. Death. Dying. The journey beyond are among them. The final exhale. The closing of the body. The long walk home. The next place of being. In many ancient traditions, this is not an ending, but a sacred passage—a birth into new realms of being. Yet here, in this fast-moving world, death often remains veiled in silence, wrapped in fear, and avoided in conversation.

I was playing the game “Headbands” with my dog the other day. Playing board games and interactive games like charades are good fun. Given my kid has flown the coop, we hoodwinked our dog to play a rousing game of Headbands with us. We even let Milo choose the first card, but he seemed to have a hard time guessing what his card said.
As you celebrated the Summer Solstice and the New Moon this past week, our beloved shamans who are South of the Equator were celebrating the Winter Solstice in Cusco, Peru. Inti Raymi, the Festival of the Sun, takes place on June 24th to commemorate the beginning of the Inca New Year and the Winter Solstice. Originating in the 15th century by Emperor Pachakuti, Inti Raymi was created as major Inca festival to honor the sun god Inti.
These past months have been filled with confusion, anger, and fear for many in this country. Witnessing deportations without due process, assaults on the courts and universities, flip flopping tariffs, and military action have shaken the foundational sense of safety and justice for many Americans. I’ve been listening to you and engaging in many conversations about how to live in balance during these times.
