Welcome back to Week 6 of my Spring-Summer series called Embodiment as Sacred Force for Change! Today’s episode was recorded on the First Quarter Moon in Leo, as Venus moved into Gemini, holding a loving hand out for Uranus to follow. We explore the transformative power of Uranus as the great cosmic disruptor, and we use this influence to examine how harmful thoughts patterns perpetuate disembodiment. We connect this to the “water experiment” by Dr. Emoto in the book, “What The Bleep Do We Know,” by William Arntz and how words are powerful spells that create change at the molecular level!

We shift into our embodiment practice, which is a guided body blessing of love and gratitude that moves from head to feet, pairing touch with clear language. Hands on the head becomes gratitude for focus and vision; eyes become a doorway to connection and inner sight; throat becomes a commitment to speak for justice, equity, and decolonization; heart and lungs become gratitude for breath and blood, ancestry and land, belly becomes nourishment and creative center, and so on. We complete the process by offering blessings outward to the earth, the collective, and the divine through movement and dance, honoring the reciprocal relationship that connects us all.

Welcome back to Week 5 of my Spring-Summer series called Embodiment as Sacred Force for Change! Today’s episode was recorded amidst the afterglow of the powerful New Moon in Aries conjunct Chiron, the wounded healer, invoking courage to release pain and embrace regeneration. The core message is that your deepest wound can become your greatest gift when you meet it in right-relationship with its roots. With the arrival of Taurus season, we shift our focus to the beauty and intelligence of our bodies and how the sensorial experience of being alive becomes a real resource for power and nourishment.

We get practical with sensory attunement and nervous system support, including a clear breakdown of more than the “five senses” through vestibular awareness, proprioception, and interoception. I guide you through orientation using sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch, then offer an ear self-massage that can support vagus nerve tone and help your body soften into parasympathetic ease.

From there, we move into a self-touch ritual that asks a different kind of question: where does your body want love, what wounds want tending, and what hidden gifts are ready to awaken? The practice includes feeling into ancestral wounding and familial patterns held in the tissues, while also seeking hidden gifts, pleasure, and remembering.

Bodywork, movement, and sensory attunement become rituals of release and reclamation, acknowledging that disembodiment is a survival response shaped by colonial violence, systemic oppression, and intergenerational trauma. Re-inhabiting the body becomes a daily act of resistance and a return to belonging. The way we care for our body shapes how we show up for each other, our communites, and the world we want to build. Surrounding ourselves with beloveds who are also seeking embodiment brings a profound energy for this work.

Welcome back to Week 4 of my Spring-Summer series called Embodiment as Sacred Force for Change! Today’s episode was recorded under the Last Quarter Moon in Capricorn amidst Aries season, and we use the energy of balance ~ holding release and rebirth as vital forces for growth to ask a direct question: what structures, habits, and colonial mindsets are ready to be released so they can be composted into what we’re here to build next?

We acknowledge how the universe and the Divine is always providing what we need, and who we need, in aligned timing. I share the exciting training opportunity in 2026 with Dr. Jennifer Mullan, Psy.D, author of the national bestseller "Decolonizing Therapy: Oppression, Historical Trauma & Politicizing Your Practice," which is the first Fellowship training, and is a "Four-Part Professional Evolution for Psychologists, Therapists, Social Workers, Healers, Teachers & Space Holders." This is for the dream builders and space holders who want to name what so many mental health spaces avoid: intergenerational and historical trauma, structural oppression, soul dehydration, rage, disenfranchised grief, collective care, boundaries, and repair. Next training is on June 18, 2026! We look at the colonial soul wound and why decolonizing therapy is a necessary return to truth, people, land, and integrity. We also talk about the learning community, Embodied Astrology, and their powerful 12 week cohort, At the Heart of Conflict, which provides aligned containment for building capacity and awareness of conflict patterns and how to change them for more authentic intimacy with self, others, and the collective.

Then we ground into a brief review of the autonomic nervous system; including polyvagal theory, neuroception and interoception, and I describe the Modern Attachment Regulation Spectrum from queer partners, Sue Marriott and Dr. Ann Kelley: the green zone of secure relating, the red zone of preoccupied dysregulation, and the blue zone of dismissing shutdown. The goal isn’t perfect safety. It’s building enough safety cues through your body, your environment, and your relationships so you can come back to connection. We layer in the essential context that is always informing our bodies and relationships, which live in the deeper patterns of our ancestral, historical, and intergenerational lineages and how colonization has impacted HOW our experiences get shaped over time.

In our embodiment practice this week, we explore Draíocht Ceoil, an Irish magical tradition of Sound and Music, pulling from native File (Poet), Geraldine Moorkens Byrne’s class at the Irish Pagan School and her new book out May 1, 2026, Draíocht Ceoil: The Sound of Magic in Irish Traditions. Together, we use sound to attune/amplify our environment, or to change it!

Welcome back to Week 3 of my new series called Embodiment as Sacred Force for Change! Today’s episode was recorded under the Full Moon in Libra amidst Aries season, and we acknowledge this week's outrageous, yet sadly unsurprising news that the Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments about birthright citizenship; in law birthright citizenship is simply defined as automatically granting citizenship (as a legal status) to children upon their birth, regardless of parental citizenship status. We name how the case is part of a larger web of imperialism, supremacy systems, and forced migration driven by colonization. We hold the essential question: how do we stay regulated enough to respond with clarity and power?

Under the Libra Full Moon and Aries Season Fire, we explore balance and spark, differentiation and action. We name why modern nervous system science like polyvagal theory and interpersonal neurobiology need to be held alongside older truths that were practiced long before institutions tried to patent and gatekeep them. Decolonized healing means remembering that embodied wisdom is not owned, and that access to regulation, connection, and well-being is for all.

We then go into the autonomic nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic), cues of safety, co-regulation, and the social engagement system, plus a deep dive into the vagus nerve and the autonomic ladder; ventral vagal (parasympathetic), sympathetic fight-flight-freeze, and dorsal vagal shutdown (parasympathetic). I also explain the Safe and Sound Protocol as a listening therapy that uses filtered sound frequencies to help the nervous system detect safety again, especially for complex trauma, chronic stress, and neurodivergent sensory patterns.

We close with a vocalization ritual and a victory chant, plus an invitation to speak, howl, or scream sacred rage in a way that frees the body and calls in the world we are building together.

Welcome back to Week 2 of my new series called Embodiment as Sacred Force for Change! Today’s episode occurs during a powerful triple conjunction with Chiron, Eris, and Venus in Aries, while the first quarter moon is in Gemini. We explore how the energy of this moment pushes honest questions and sacred speech. Eris represents profound spiritual warrior energy, acting as an agent of change, and is a fierce disrupter on behalf of those who have been systemically silenced.

We use this bold timing to dare to speak about the colonization wound as a living pattern in our bodies, our relationships, and our healing spaces, including the way Eurocentric Western psychology and the mental health industrial complex has tried to strip spirit, ancestry, and land-based wisdom out of care. We confront how colonization shapes disconnection, disembodiment, distrust, and suffering across lineages, and the path of healing involves daily acts of intentional resistance. We will remember who we are, and that we are love. We will relaim our bodies by decolonizing them – one breath, one tear, and one song at a time.

In today's emobdiment pracitce, we return to vocalization as a pathway to regulation, expression, and energetic movement. The voice connects with the vagus nerve, and humming, toning, and finding a comforting middle note can cue safety and soften the throat, breath, and heart -- deepening spiritual practice and making space for guides, ancestors, land connection, and sacred speech.

I'm back with a focused new Spring series called Embodiment as Sacred Force for Change! We'll be using the potent New Moon and tomorrow's Spring Equinox to tend to our personal earth, our body, and plant powerful seeds for our future. Weekly embodiment focused episodes will be aligned with the moon phases from the Spring Equinox until the Summer Solstice. I will show you why deepening our capacity to stay present, connected, and courageous is an essential path to our healing, transformation, and collective liberation.

It comes down to the most vital question: what happens when we’re disembodied? Who and what actually benefits from our chronic immobilization and the illusion that we are powerless? Over the course of these next 14 weeks, I will make it my personal mission to convince you that when our nervous system lives in chronic threat, it’s easier to control us, divide us, and keep us stuck in fear. Embodiment becomes sovereignty, a way to enhance presence with our autonomic nervous system cues, honor our survival strategies, and still choose right relationship to our body, our integrity, and our communities, knowing that when we are united in collective embodiment we are able to uplift each other, and that’s when we harness our greatest power for change.

Our first practice today is vocalization, because the voice holds so much history. We explore gentle sound on the exhale, humming, and simple ways to experiment even if you “can’t sing,” then connect it to polyvagal theory, vagus nerve stimulation, and why chanting and group rhythm can support mood and regulation.

Today’s episode is dedicated to all the families who have been brutalized by ICE for far too long, and to the protesters and people in Minnesota who have lost their lives in the fight for justice and collective liberation. This conversation about shame, healing, and accountability feels especially meaningful in moments of profound pain. Shame is inseparable from the systems of dominance that try to silence, control, and dehumanize. Let this moment remind us what is at stake when the cost of standing up to power is so high. But the cost of standing down is even higher.

Please join me in a deep dive about shame with my friend, Dr. Keren Sofer. If you would like to connect with Keren, you can find all her offerings here: drkerensofer.com

In today's episode we use this rare double dark moon (micro moon) on December 19th and the days leading up to the Winter Solstice on December 21st as a potent threshold. Release what’s done. Bless what taught you. Name what you refuse to carry forward. Then claim who you are and what you choose to focus on creating, expanding, and birthing for the year ahead: a practice you’ll keep, a cause you’ll serve, a truth you’ll speak, a joy you’ll protect, the magick that is uniquely yours to bring forth into the world.

Over these next few days use this portal of exquisite darkness, to slow down, reflect, tune in, and just be. Expressing your quiet commitment is spell work and this moment is THE TIME TO DO IT. When the first crescent appears, you’ll already be transforming, aligned and steady, birthing who you have always been in a sacred spiral that remembers you even when you forget yourself.

SO MOTE IT BE!!!
