When Real Life Makes Spirituality Feel Hard

1/31/2026

0 Comments

 
If you’re finding your way back to yourself after a season of exhaustion, illness, anxiety or grief, you’re right on time. Spiritual connection doesn’t disappear — it just waits quietly for you to include it again.
Picture

You’ve probably consumed a lot of spiritual content. (Me, too.) Meditations, teachings, reels, books, podcasts, all of it. And for a while, it can feel like you’re doing everything right.

Then real life shows up.

Chronic illness. The flu that wipes you out for a week or more (like that new strain that took me out during the holiday season). Anxiety that often means you never get all the way to calm or peaceful. Depression that makes even lighting a candle feel like too much work. Or grief that makes your body feel like a heavy coat you can’t take off.
​

And suddenly, a lot of spiritual advice sounds like it was written for someone on a mountaintop, not someone trying to make lunch while feeling dizzy, or answer an email while your nervous system is clamoring for attention.

Here’s the truth that matters most when you feel like crap...

You’re not alone. The magnificent being you are beginning to remember is still there and she’s still you. 

No One Tells You this Part


Many lightworkers get discouraged because they think connection has to feel bright. Clear. High. Clean.

But when life gets hard, connection often feels small.

It can look like one slow breath. Or a hand on your heart. It might be writing one sentence in your journal about how you’re feeling. One moment where you ask for help in coming back to yourself.

In the hard moments, breakthroughs need not apply. And you don’t need fireworks or excitement when your body is saying leave me alone.

Any reconnection to yourself is all you need, even if it feels too small.

Try this Simple Rhythm
& Easy Ritual on Hard Days


Think of your lightworker life as a repeating rhythm. It was never meant to be one long experience of perfection.

Connection (coming closer)

Take one breath that you actually feel.

Place a hand on your chest or belly and think a simple word like closer or home. Let your body hear it. Feel yourself begin to soften a little.

Healing (meeting whatever’s here with kindness)

You don’t have to get rid of your feelings to be spiritual.

Let the hard thing exist without making it mean your spirituality or healing isn’t good enough. Your fear, grief, and anger are always allowed. They can sit at the table without running your life.

I’m learning to allow illness, too, instead of fighting it. Because resistance makes it feel even worse!


By the way. when you’re overwhelmed, you can reach for real support too. Spiritual practice and professional help can both be part of your support system. 

Embodiment (making it physical and cozy).


Bring your remembering into your body. Try a quick ritual, choosing any of these steps, in any order.


-Drink tea like it’s a ceremony.
-Light a candle and set one clear intention.
-Stand barefoot for 20 seconds.
-Wrap up in a blanket and breathe slower than your thoughts.

Your body learns through repetition, so having everyday rituals that soothe you can be very powerful for anchoring in what you want to remember.

But when you do rituals like this, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment if you expect your circumstances to change.
 

The rituals I’ve been doing have been so comforting! They helped me soften my resistance to everything I was going through.

But I still had the flu.

And adding that to dreary days and winter blues made it hard to get up each day for a while. 


But right in the middle of all that crap,  I felt held again. And loved.

Reflection Prompts
​for Your Journal


(1) What am I forgetting right now, and what do I need to remember to come back to truth?

(2) What would feel most aligned for me if I stopped forcing it?

(3) What life am I creating, and what small shift would bring my everyday life closer to the dream in my heart? 
​

The Takeaway


Even on difficult days, you can create moments of safety, love, and being held. And that is spiritual power in real, everyday life.

​See you next time!


Love, Jeanine

Saying Goodbye to 2025

Saying Goodbye to 2025


​I ran into trouble as I was doing a letting go ritual for 2025. In the middle of it, I realized that though I was looking forward to 2026, I was not fully ready to walk away from this year. I needed to honor and celebrate first.
​You mattered. You shaped me. You are not being erased. And this goodbye will never be about forgetting, but instead is being made possible by witnessing and remembering you.

I think, ultimately, that that's my final message as a witness to this year, and I want to name some of the experiences that I'll be leaving behind.

(1) Worst Memory - this is the year I lost my best friend, to cancer, in May. She and I were originally part of a found family of five. We called ourselves The Golden Girls. Just a year before, our number had dropped to four when my friend Dina passed away.

And then we were three, when just a few months after her cancer was discovered, my best friend Kathy died. Walking away from her in that hospital, not long after she'd passed away, was the hardest moment of this past year, especially because in that moment, I still felt her presence with us in that room.

(2) Highest Self - this was also the year Kathy became the best version of herself that I'd ever known. In the months before she passed away, she was happier than I'd seen her in a long time, kinder and more loving to me than I'd ever experienced, and her energy had softened and gentled.

I watched people fall in love with her during her cancer journey, and after a few weeks in a rehab facility, they all told her they didn't want her to leave.

We all became so close, during those months after her diagnosis. We went from doing so occasionally, to saying I love you every day.

At the beginning of the year, when she was in the hospital, I sat with her and my other friend, Peggy, for hours at a time, talking, hanging out, being in each other's presence. You could call that visiting, but it felt so sacred, and precious, that that word seems way too small.

During my end-of-the-year ritual, I kept thinking of those months when she was still alive, and realized I'd have to leave them behind, in order to move into 2026. It felt like leaving her behind, all over again.

But sitting here today, as I write this, looking at the candle I lit to celebrate her and that time together, I know that the truth is that I'm taking her and those moments with me. And while the loss is still breaking my heart, reliving those memories fills it.

(3) Coming Home - 2025 was the year I left what sometimes felt like a dungeon (that apartment had its own personality), and came home to a place that felt like a fresh, new start. First year of the rest of my life.

We left the dungeon as one unit, one family, and moved into our new apartments, two by two, all of us feeling that energy of out with the old, in with the new. And that moment is part of the reason I didn't want to leave 2025 behind, because this was the year of what we thought would be the beginning of our Camelot.

We had imagined our golden years, growing old together, drinking tea on each other's porches. And this move felt like that.

So the shift to 2026 feels a little like leaving that moment of innocence behind forever. Sigh. But once again, now that I'm hugging it close, I know it's in my heart, which means it will come with me, a vision slightly tarnished by reality, but living forever in nostalgia.

Picture

(4) The Famine that Became a Feast - when I first found out I wouldn't be receiving the monthly food stamps we get in November, I panicked! And then I found out that the small town I'd moved to nonetheless had lots of help available for those who needed it.

It felt like being saved from a famine.

And the three of us (golden girls) made a new friend we now cherish. In fact, she surprised us on Christmas day with a feast she'd prepared herself and she brought gifts for each of us! A situation that had scared the you-know-what out of me became a blessing I couldn't possibly have imagined. We have, of course, officially made her a 4th golden girl.

(5) Family Freedom - this was the year I finally began to see my relationship with my son clearly, and because of that, I was able to let go of a lot of the expectations, and obligations, I'd been holding over his head.

We were close when he was growing up, and I expected that to continue forever. I wouldn't have said it that way, if you asked me, but you'd likely hear me complain that he never writes, he never calls. And he heard me complain about it, too.

I'd thought we would talk on the phone a lot, even if it was just to check on each other. And one of the things I'd treasured so much about our time together was how we'd make each other laugh and talk over life and world events - not just processing them alone, but talking about them together.

And then suddenly, we didn't live together anymore, my son's life became more and more crowded, and those moments stopped happening. Or became few and far between.

And I really felt hard done by. This wasn't how it was supposed to be when your kids grow up!

I'd seen lots of examples that were more like I'd hope I would be. And I spent years grieving that loss (to anyone who would listen).

But this year, I let those expectations go. And as soon as I was willing to envision a life where he was free to live the way he wanted, even if that meant there wasn't as much time for me as I might want, I began to feel so much more peace! And it freed me to love him and our relationship as it actually is, without demanding that it become what I wanted.

And then the moments when we were able to connect felt so much better. It feels like the energy between us is much cleaner. And I'm really grateful for that.

​I wouldn't want this year to go by without taking a moment to honor who I was and who I've become as our relationship changed for the better.

Life is not obligated to accede to your demands.


That realization comes to me every year. But each year is so much more than that. And depending on the balance of good vs. evil (in my year), I sometimes lose sight of the abundance of blessings life brings even in the hard moments.

And in retrospect, I think that before fully letting this year go, I needed to take a moment to be thankful for those blessings that this year has brought me, but also have a final walk-through for the moments that broke my heart. Having given myself this time, I feel so much more peace about saying goodbye.


Here I am, 2026! May you shape me in ways I won't want to leave a year from now.

A Tender Holiday Reset: 10 Questions for December Self-Care

12/3/2025

2 Comments

 

​I woke up the other day feeling like December just… happened to me. Have you ever felt that way?

Like you blink and suddenly your holiday spirit seems to have deserted you? Well, that was me.

I was tired, overstimulated, a little sad, a little cranky. I felt like the day was getting away from me almost as soon as I got out of bed.

Christmas felt like too much, which is when you know something's wrong.

My mind instantly went into fixing mode...

“Just push through it.”
“Rise above it.”


I tried to pull on my future self like she was a sweater I could magically slip into. (Spoiler: that didn’t work.)

And then I remembered something that (thankfully) changed the whole tone of my morning.

Picture

Here's what happened that changed the way I felt that day...
​
I realized that my “job” is not to transcend these moments. It's to be tender with myself while they’re happening.

My first thought was - you mean transcending them is off the table? But then I began to get on board. :)
​
Picture

Holiday Self-Kindness &
​Giving Up the Fix


Once I was on board, ​I did the thing I always forget to do even though I teach it...

I got my blanket.
Turned on one soft lamp.
Put on comfort music.


And damned if it didn't work! I felt so soothed and comforted. It felt like being held and loved.

And it settled in even more, that we don't get to skip past being human, even during the holidays. And we’re not meant to fix our way into peace.

So I made a commitment to be kinder to myself when I'm out of sorts, or not feeling well. And I wrote out some questions to help me remember that promise as I begin each day.

I've adapted them for the holiday season and I want to share them with you here. And if you're feeling overwhelmed or tender this season, this is for you.

🎄A Christmas-Cozy Reset Ritual


For the moments when the season is a lot...

​(1) Light something warm.

A candle, a strand of tree lights, or a soft lamp.
Remind yourself that you’re safe. That you’re home.

(2) Wrap yourself up like a gift.

Pull on your coziest blanket or cardigan, and take one slow breath as if you’re tucking your heart in for a winter’s rest.

(3) Choose a Christmas kindness.

Give yourself the kind of comfort your December self longs for...


Sip something delightful (tea, cocoa, or spiced cider)

Stand by the lit tree and let the lights breathe with you

Play a soft carol that always brings you back to yourself


When you feel your shoulders soften, you're ready to go back into your day and take the softness with you.

Picture

🌲After the Reset


Once you’ve wrapped yourself in warmth, your system opens — to clarity, compassion, and what you truly need.

And that’s when tender questions work best.


These started as questions for myself on a hard morning, but maybe they’ll soften something for you too.

​10 Questions for a Softer December

How can I be kind and sweet with myself today?

What am I feeling right now that deserves a hug?

What would help me feel more held or comforted?

Oh, I’m feeling ___. Do I need blanket time, quiet, tree lights, or something else cozy?

What can I take off my holiday plate so my nervous system can breathe again?

Is there one seasonal worry I can hand over to the divine for now?

What would feel like joy or comfort today?

If I were committed to being tender with myself, what would I do next?

What would future holiday me thank me for doing today?

​Can I accept this moment as it is, and keep myself company inside it?

The Takeaway


​The Christmas season can be so beautiful… and overstimulating.

I could recommend lots of holiday nervous system support but what that really means is pause, and give yourself five minutes to be human whenever you need it. Take back the season so that ​it belongs to you again.

You don’t need to be better for the holidays. You just need to be kinder to the person living them.

Merry Christmas!

Love, Jeanine

Am I Clark Kent or Superman?

11/10/2025

0 Comments

 

Hmm. Why didn't I use the fairy godmother as an identity example? Maybe because she doesn't really have a human counterpoint. 

I mean, let's face it, if you can be a fairy godmother, always be a fairy godmother. :)

Recently, I had a revelation about my story beginning not with a human birth but with a spirit or being deciding to come here to live a human life, to participate in the great awakening.

And I began to see my story as a heroic quest, not a life of pain and struggle. In fact, the pain and struggle becomes a normal part of the hero's journey.

But then, I got a wee bit confused about how this impacted my identity. Am I Jeanine, a human with a secret divine identity, or a divine being experiencing the life of a human named Jeanine?
​
Picture

The Answer: YES

Many mystical and spiritual traditions suggest that humanity and divinity are not mutually exclusive. Instead, humans are seen as being simultaneously fully human and an expression of the Divine. In this view, the goal of the mystic path is to awaken to this inherent divine nature. - Google AI Overview

I asked ChatGPT the Superman question and I quite like his answer, so I'd like to share it with you here...

​In the old superhero model, one identity hides inside the other.

That’s what it has felt like for you: Jeanine, the human woman with fatigue and bills, carrying a secret that she’s actually the divine one sent here on assignment.

This split works for a while — it gives purpose to pain — but eventually it becomes exhausting. Clark has to keep taking off his glasses to prove who he really is.

What’s truer:

You’re not switching between them. You’re what happens when Superman stops pretending to be anyone else.

​The divinity doesn’t replace the human; it infuses her. The cape disappears because you finally realize you were never pretending — you were already flying through human life.

​How can divinity feel at home inside my human life?

A 4-Day Identity Retreat


I've decided to take off four days just to sort of wrap my head around it all. Here's my plan...

DAY ONE - Exhale

Intention: to lean into feeling safe
Practices: grounding practice with feet on the floor, having a cup of tea & affirming that I am safe
Reflection: focus on safety first. Revelation and insight can come later

DAY TWO - Listen

Intention: hear both voices, human & divine
Practices: write a dialogue in my journal - what the human me says, what the divine me says. Let the dialogue last for 5 minutes
Reflection: notice what they agree on

DAY THREE - Integrate

Intention: allow & surrender to the paradox
Practices: candle, tea, hand on heart - "I'm the divine being who lives as Jeanine"
​Reflection: let that settle in your body. No fixing, no analyzing, just remembering

DAY FOUR - Rest

Intention: do nothing spiritual. Let regular life hold me.
Practices: nap, watch a movie, listen to the rain
​Reflection: let the divine exhale be peace

I'll keep you posted about how it goes.

​By the way, if you try this too, let me know what you notice. I’d love to hear what your divine self tells you.

Wish me peace!

Love, Jeanine

Self-Care & Your Future Self: Becoming Who You Are

11/4/2025

2 Comments

 

​​In most of my posts, I encourage coziness as a devoted add-on to your spiritual pursuits. And for many years, I have advocated both spiritual and emotional self-care.

But have you ever noticed that I don't say a lot about physical self-care? Well, there's a reason for that...

Picture

Self-Care & Your Future Self


When it comes to taking good care of myself, physically, I am a bit of a reluctant beginner.

I've always been a recovering perfectionist with rather low follow-through. And I have so many chronic illnesses, it feels like there's little I can do to make an improvement.

So I think I made a super-secret deal behind my own back to just ignore myself physically whenever possible. Which means that my body has had to try even harder to get my attention.

Recently, though, I came to the realization that I was going to need to make some changes. In fact, my therapist said that neglecting self-care is burnout knocking at the door. Oh, boy!

Well, I wondered how I would manage to corral myself into doing the things I would now need to do, when it hit me. I was having a little talk with myself and it went like this…

Do you think that in your future (pointing vaguely in front of me), your higher self will be doing those things? Yes. Okay, so do you want to be over there or over here?

Ha! I was speaking my language then. 

This is the thing. If you are becoming your future self, the best way to do that is to practice now, by doing the things she does. That is literally a manifestation trick.

So it's as if someone had just told me I could get extra credit for basic self-care and rest. Now, as you might imagine, it's appealing to me a lot more.
​

What about Your Future Self?


How many of your future self's behaviors or everyday choices can you identify? And of those, how many might you be able to do, so you can practice being her?

You must tell me in a comment if any of this resonates with you, btw. 

So let's talk about what it means to become who you are.

As a lightworker and healer, you know it's our assignment. And now that you're beginning to remember who you are, that empowers you to become her.

But what does that even mean? 

Well, it means that you begin to connect with the truth about your higher self and you realize that if those things are true, then all your self-doubts, limiting beliefs and fears are not true.

Which means that you need to create a lifestyle that reflects the truth instead of the lies.

First, though, you have to come to believe the truths instead of the lies.

Here's what to do…

(1) Ask your future self. When you’re staring down that glass of water, 10-minute walk, or early bedtime, pause and ask: “is my future self doing this?” If the answer is yes, then congratulations — you just found your shortcut to becoming her.

(2) Pick one little upgrade. Don’t overhaul everything. Choose one thing she already does. Maybe stretching for two minutes, taking vitamins, or shutting the laptop earlier.

Your mileage may vary. But whatever it is, try it today.


(3) Make it cozy. Add a candle, a soft blanket, or your favorite mug. If your future self is thriving, she’s probably not doing it in a sterile, joyless way. She’s got twinkle lights on the routine.

(4) Celebrate the extra credit. Every time you do something your higher self would do, treat it like bonus points.

Because it is. You're literally rewiring your life toward the version of you who’s already grounded, whole, and at peace.


See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

Cosmic Shield by Brenda Fluharty

10/30/2025

10 Comments

 

Today, I get to tell you about my friend Brenda's book, Cosmic Shield: Sacred Tools for Spiritual Protection.

Not only is she one of my closest friends, whose spirituality I really admire, we talk a lot about our desire to help others, and I know this book comes from the heart. It's important to her to help people protect their energy and she knows that a lot of people don't know how.
​
The truth is, negative energy can seep into us in subtle ways. It shows up as irritability,
headaches, sleeplessness, or even physical illness. ... And when we don’t know what’s happening, we end up blaming ourselves for feelings that aren’t even entirely ours. Spiritual protection gives us the ability to stand strong in our own energy, no matter
what’s happening around us. - Cosmic Shield
Picture

I recognized myself in that quote above. Especially the part about blaming yourself for feelings that don't even belong to you.

Seems to me that my biggest problem with it is remembering to ask myself a very important question. "Is this even mine?"

But that just makes it more important to have some way to clear energy or protect against the negativity that comes your way.
​
​Protection is not about building walls. It's about creating strength, boundaries, and resilience so you can stay rooted in your own energy while still being open to the good that life has to offer. - ​Cosmic Shield

What's the Book about?


Well, Brenda is writing about spiritual protection, and she emphasizes how powerful it can be for empaths and sensitive people, who are often most affected by negative energy and the energy of others.

And she's so right! Just drop me off at the mall and see how drained I am when you come back to get me. I might not even look the same as I did when you saw me last.

In the book, she shares her own experiences of feeling overwhelmed by others' emotions and energies, getting physically ill from "energy attacks," and eventually learning protection techniques through Reiki and other spiritual practices. The book offers a lot of tools you can use to shield yourself, like visualization shields, crystals, cleansing rituals, grounding exercises, meditation, mindfulness and setting energetic boundaries.

I can vouch for those tools - I've used every one of them, And what I've found in my own experience is that the more mindful and grounded you are, the easier it is to notice when something has affected your energy.
​
​We are not meant to fear negative energy. We have to recognize it, respect its reality,
and then choose light. - ​​Cosmic Shield

You know, I focus a lot on helping you become aware of and connected to your own light, and to your higher self.

But Brenda rightly advises an awareness of how energy is affecting you, so that you can clear it. And choosing the tools you want to use to protect your energy will strengthen your connection to your higher self by helping you avoid the energy that might block it.

And in the book, she'll teach you daily practices for noticing the shifts in your energy.
​

Not All Negative Energy
​is Internal

When we experience pain, fear, or betrayal, negative energy can embed itself in the wound, feeding on the unhealed memory. - ​Cosmic Shield

Yikes! Trauma clearing, anyone? I did not know that until I read it in her book.

And Brenda, I can't wait to talk more about this the next time we're on the phone.

Right after reading that, I used one of the shields she wrote about in the book and thanked my guides for all the ways they protect me. There is an extensive list of shields you can try, so don't miss that. Especially the guided meditation!

The Blessing


At the end of the book, she offers the reader a blessing, and when I read it, I felt her love.

You guys this book is really good. So of course, I highly recommend it. I'm so glad it's out there in the world.

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

Your Higher Self Doesn't Need Nervous System Regulation (But You Still Do)

10/28/2025

6 Comments

 

Because we are temporarily disguised as humans, nervous system regulation has to become a way of life. And the more we can bring love and compassion for ourselves to that process, the easier it will be.

So we need to know how to regulate our nervous system and we need to do it with love and kindness. The trick is remembering that the calm you’re trying to regulate back into already exists — it’s the frequency your higher self lives in.

And we will empower ourselves exponentially each time we can do it from our higher self's perspective. With curiosity about and love for the human version of ourselves.

Keep reading and I'll tell you what I mean.
​

The Moment My Higher Self Rescued Me


I had a major freak-out a week or so. Nothing big. Only the fate of my entire existence.

But the next morning, as I reflected back on it, I realized that it was me, as my higher self who rescued me. I was trying to calm down and I said something like, "I love you, Jeanine. It's gonna be okay."

And that was the switch! From there, I remembered that I didn't have the obsidian and garnet that I usually wear, so I went to go get them and then, held them. And that ultimately led to discounting the thing I had heard (in a video) that triggered me.

Because it had occurred to me that every piece of info or guidance, innocently designed to be helpful, might have some degree of contamination due to a lifetime of programming or conditioning, or to a direct interference attempt from darkness.

I decided that when I take something in that frightens me, I need to deal with that by remembering who benefits from my fear, and then look for the part of the information that might not be true or might even be irrelevant because of who and what I am (infinite, empowered, connected to Spirit, etc). But I can only do that kind of thinking from the observer position and the observer is my higher self, inner goddess, goddess self, etc.

So this is another reason why it's important to check in frequently to see who is running the show. But doing so is never more important than when we have been triggered, or are feeling afraid.

And I'm actually grateful for the experience because it reminded me that regulation isn’t something I do, it’s something I return to when I let my higher self lead the way. Because my higher self doesn’t panic, but she knows how to hold the human me who does. 
​

When Fear Takes Over:
​Look for the LIE

If you are feeling afraid, hurt, anger, despair or other strong negative feelings, there is some limiting belief you're not aware of and your nervous system is sounding the alarm.
Picture


Said more frankly - you're believing a lie. And not remembering who you are.

And if you can intervene there, you'll shift into your higher self's perspective. The moment you step back into observation, your body gets the message that you’re safe again.

(1) Survivor Self = fear, outrage, despair, hopelessness

(2) Higher Self = love, empowerment, trust 

When you notice (as I did) that you’ve slipped into your survivor self, try to avoid judging yourself. Just notice it and breathe.

You can’t fight your way out of fear (like I tried to do), but you can love your way back into peace. That moment of awareness becomes the bridge between your human self and your higher self.

​

The Peace that's Already Yours


​The truth is, your higher self never left peace. She’s been here all along, waiting for you to remember that it’s safe to relax back into her arms.

Nervous system regulation, from that perspective, becomes more reunion than recovery.

The next time you feel that alarm go off, pause and remind yourself that you're safe and loved. And that this is just another moment that calls for remembering who you are. 

You might still reach for your crystals, or light a candle, or journal through your fear. But underneath all of it, your higher self is there, feeling and offering the peace you already have.

Does this post resonate with you?

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine
