Welcome to March! Encouraging Message for Lightworkers

3/3/2025

I was watching the following reading on YouTube, and as I listened, and she drew cards, it felt like this was a message for the lightworker collective, and I wanted to help spread the word. I even got some extra AI help interpreting the reading...

My Notes from the Reading

I shared with ChatGPT what stood out to me and what I remembered from the reading, and asked it to expand the message.

Hi ChatGPT! Please combine these concepts from an intuitive reading and expand on it. Living with comfort and peace no matter what's going on in the world. Knowing you are safe and you are home now. The High Priestess card twice and the Hermit card. Showing others the way and being a light. Soft gentle energy. Stay on this path, you are where you're meant to be.

Here is ChatGPT's Expansion

Here’s an expanded reflection on those themes:

In a world that often feels chaotic, uncertain, and shifting beneath our feet, there is a deeper truth that remains unshaken: You are home now.

Not in the sense of a physical place, but in the sanctuary of your own being. No matter what happens externally, peace is always available within you.

The presence of the High Priestess—twice—amplifies this message. She is the guardian of inner wisdom, the embodiment of quiet knowing. She whispers, "Trust yourself. The answers you seek are already within. Be still, and you will remember."

Her energy invites you to move beyond the noise of the world and into the deep, sacred space of intuition. There, in that silent knowing, comfort and clarity emerge.

The Hermit walks this path as well, carrying the lantern of truth, lighting the way for others. This is not a journey of isolation but of mastery. The Hermit is a seeker who becomes a guide.

You, too, are being called to be a light—whether through your presence, your words, or your way of being. The world needs those who can hold steady, who can show others that peace is not found out there, but within.

There is a softness to this path, a gentle unfolding. No need to force or rush.

Just as the High Priestess sits in quiet receptivity, just as the Hermit walks with patience and care, you are exactly where you need to be. Trust that. Stay on this path.

Even when the world outside feels turbulent, remember: You are safe. You are home. And your light is needed.

Journal Prompts for this Reading

I've got my cup of yummy tea next to me and would like to think through and/or journal about this reading a little more. Here's what I'll be asking myself. Want to reflect along with me?

(1) How can I look for, lean into and amplify the softness and the gentleness on my path?

(2) One of the things she said was you don't have to do it all. So I want to think about this: what am I feeling called to, and what would a burdensome all be & a lighter or lesser not all, but enough be?

(3) If I am exactly where I need to be, and you are home now is the deeper truth, then can I accept the parts of my current experience that worry, frustrate or disappoint me? Can I ground myself in a sense of satefy, of being home, no matter what's wrong at any particular moment?

(4) If peace is always available to me, how can I experience more of it?

(5) If the world needs people who can hold steady, then I want to do that and be that!

So what would make that easier for me? What would that look like in terms of how I spend my time or what I devote myself to each day?

How would you answer these questions for yourself? And are there other thoughts and questions coming up for you?

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

You Must Live a Life of Radical Self-Love & Here's How to Do it.

2/20/2025

0 Comments

Last week, I wrote a post where I shared some intuitive prompts that could be used in a self-love reading. Basically, asking your own intuition how to love yourself more right now.

And this week, I read the transcript for a podcast episode about radical self-love.

The author is Kara Loewentheil and she comes to the topic from a feminist perspective, saying that radical self-love is a political act of refusal, for anyone steeped in cultural oppression. Her point of view is that being marginalized teaches you not to love yourself and to put your own needs last on your to-do list.

I highly recommend this episode, and I want to talk more about radical self-love today.

The more marginalized identities you live in or with, the more ways you’re told that you’re not good enough. So if you are Black or Indigenous or a person of color, if you are fat, if you live with a disability or a chronic illness, if you’re neurodivergent, if you’re LGBTQ+, if you’re a “minority” religion, if you’re poor, and there’s many other aspects.

I am in so many of these marginalized communities she named! How about you?

Oppressive Ideology is Insidious: You're Living it but Don't Know it

If someone asked you, do you believe that you re inherently less worthy of good things or a good life than other people are, you would probably say no. But if you belong to a marginalized community, like I do, odds are you are living like you do believe that and you probably don't even know it.

Think about the situations and the relationships you are putting up with right now.

One of the biggest arguments for wholeheartedly pursuing radical self-love is that what you experience on the outside is always going to be a mirror of the love you have for yourself inside.

If life is mistreating you, and you have a hidden belief that that's what you deserve, not only will you put up with it, you'll mistreat yourself, too.

But if you begin to treat yourself a lot more kindly, and offer yourself more compassion and acceptance, you won't settle for less from others.

What if You Could Start Treating Yourself with Reverence?

I asked Google what it means to treat yourself with reverence and here was its AI overview in response...

To "treat yourself with reverence" means to regard yourself with deep respect, almost like you would a sacred or highly valued thing, acknowledging your worth and treating yourself with care and consideration, not taking your own well-being for granted; essentially, showing yourself the same kind of profound respect you might show someone you deeply admire.

Here are a few links Google offers in the sidebar...

What Would Reverence Change?
What Does Reverence Mean?
The Gift of Reverence

So imagine for a moment that most of the time, you treated yourself with reverence and radical self-love.

(1) What would that look and feel like?

(2) What do you think would change?

Google suggests that you would begin to regard yourself with wonder and appreciation because of who you are, accepting your flaws with compassion and valuing yourself deeply in spite of them. You'd take better care of yourself each day and challenge your negative self-talk by saying things to yourself that are kinder and more loving.

You would spend more time with yourself, thinking about what you value and identifying your boundaries.

A couple of the other links offered suggested treating yourself the way you would treat someone you admired and adored.

Imagine that, why don't you?

If you treat yourself with love and care and respect and reverence, when you come across someone who doesn’t,... you won’t understand why they would think you would want what they’re offering you. When you love yourself radically & completely, you're simply not available for any other kind of love.
- Kara Loewentheil

Know Your Own Value

When you don't know your own value, you will expend a lot of energy trying to get others to see it. Defending it. And if you don't love yourself, you'll do back flips to get people to love you, because you can't imagine they'd love you just because of who you are.

If that's where you are right now, and if you are recognizing yourself in this post, know that you can change the way you think and feel about yourself.

The first step is to realize that without knowing it or meaning to, you have internalized societal messages about who you are and what you deserve. What that means is that there is a lot of thinking and feeling inside you that is not based on the truth.

The next step is to take this truth on faith until you can believe it for yourself: there are subtle accusations floating around out there, and inside, and you are innocent of every charge. You are lovable and good and you deserve to be honored and respected, no matter what.

The third step is to commit to treating yourself as if what you just read is true, starting today. Be willing to live in the in-between stage where you don't quite believe it, but you're going to act like you do. Not faking it until you make it, but trusting it until you come to know the truth of it in your soul.

This is my pledge, too. I am on the same journey.

And here at this blog, I promise to inspire you with lots of ways to reach for comfort, joy and delight.

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

Self-Love Day Intuitive Reading

2/15/2025

0 Comments

Yesterday was a long, draining day full of stress and some drama. So I didn't get to do the self-love reading that would have been perfect for Valentine's Day.

But today, I'm having a wonderful day. Lovely cup of vanilla tea, a candle that smells like cinnamon rolls and a view of the tree outside my window.

So here we go. I'll be using the Ostara deck from the Seasons of a Witch series. And the suggested self-love spread from Sisters Enchanted that came in my email from them yesterday.

Here's the reading, using the questions and spread above...

(1) What Does My Heart need from Me Most Right Now?

Aries: You are being called to step into the flame with an ignited vision of your desires. Time is of the essence.

Based on the keywords for this card, I'd say that my heart longs for me to step fearlessly into an initiation into my new life.

I moved recently, and have pretty high hopes for what is possible here. On the other hand, those possibilities will ask me to completely let go of the old patterns and beliefs, and exchange them for a fearless belief in what I can do with these chances I've been given.

What do you wish to release or reclaim, this card asks.

It also warns me not to lose my nerve as I set intentions and then, get going to make those dreams come true.

THE INTENTIONS I SET, INSPIRED BY THIS CARD

Every day, recommit to believing in my own magic and to finding ways to connect to it each day.

Commit to my desire to help sensitive healers connect & reconnect to the energies of the higher timeline, doing so gently and from a place of comfort.

Reach for comfort, joy and peace in my own life, every single day.

This is my self-love, honring my heart's call.

(2) How Can I Best Show Myself Compassion at this Moment?

Eostre: In the darkest of hours when all seems to be lost comes the magic of light.

I go through a difficult time each year, related to the lack of sunlight in winter, but also to the influx of pollen in the spring. And surrendering to that time, accepting it, is so hard!

I think this card is about being as compassionate as I can whilst in the middle of it, and reminding myself that this too shall pass. It's also about finding ways to bring light into the darker moments, even if I can't get rid of the darkness completely.

Above all, this is your sign to keep with your current path.

That message encourages me, too, to keep going even if I get discouraged, and to hang on to my faith. I'm making a commitment today, to do so.

So self-love, for me, means compassion and determination to stay the course.

(3) Where am I Relying too Much on Others to Feel Loved?

Composting: It is through remembrance of the past that you can create a more purposeful future.

I think, in light of the card before, this card is about taking what I would normally think of as wasted time and find ways to turn it into blessings and opportunity.

What's coming to my mind right now is that when the rest of the world is springing into action, I can stay on the path, but continue to prioritize rest. And compassionate self-care.

Maybe I can actively plan for ways to experience more joy at home (avoiding the pollen). While still staying committed to my intentions.

Planning ahead for joy at home - that might be my best self-love strategy for spring.

(these dates are not actually from 2025, but you get the idea ;)

(4) How Can I Best Incorporate a Self-Love Practice into My Day?

Sacred Circle: A dive into the depths of the unknown within beckons your becoming.

Ah-ha! This card is perfect for the question. It encourages you to do something different than you normally would, to do something new.

I think for me, this is about putting joyful plans in place to do as part of a daily ritual, but also, to make plans with friends.

My mind is buzzing with ideas right now and I'm about to go write them down. I'm excited!

Two Clarifying Cards

The two clarifying cards are Ancestral Lands and Aquamarine. I actually read these first because they are the deck's beginning cards.

I think in light of self-love and the deck's theme of new beginnings after a prolonged period of struggle, these cards are an encouragement to move forward in and with love, especially for myself.

Know where you've been and honor the past that got you where you are today, but be willing to let go of the patterns and limiting beliefs that are no longer serving you, so that you give yourself a full chance to become everything your blueprint intends you to be. And consider a cleansing ritual to help you release the old and open fully to the new.

What I love about these cards is that I did a brief ritual this morning with the intention of welcoming the new life and the blessings that are waiting for me. But I may also do a cleansing ritual.

Also, I have aquamarine on my crystal wish list and this seems like a sign to buy it first, as soon as I get the chance.

Living in Higher Frequencies: Daily Rituals for Healing & Letting Go

2/13/2025

0 Comments

In yesterday's post, I shared a video from Kerry K. that laid out what we can expect this year, spiritually and energetically. I wrote about what our response should be. And here's another of her videos that shares what the rest of our year may look and feel like.

But I wanted to address the wisdom from both in the way I normally would - what then, about our lifestyle and daily rituals? How can we create a lifestyle that supports our ability to stay connected to higher frequencies and to the higher timeline, in general?

Are you also feeling the pull to align with the higher timeline, stepping into deeper healing, while moving away from the fear-based manipulations we are likely to encounter? We can do it, and build a lifestyle around it.

Every moment we spend in connection with our true self, in higher frequencies of love, peace, and clarity, we ripple that energy outward—which weakens the false matrix and strengthens the world we want to create. But how do we sustain this way of being in the face of daily disruptions, fear narratives, and emotional triggers?

If we can create a lifestyle that grounds us in our divinity and a daily ritual that helps us acknowledge, process, and release lower-frequency reactions, we can stay connected to the higher timeline and become the shift we want to see.

The Higher Frequency Lifestyle

Here is what I believe this lifestyle needs to include...

(1) Awareness of Our Emotional Responses – Accepting and acknowledging our emotions without suppressing them or being consumed by them.

(2) Intentional Grounding – Centering ourselves in safety, presence, and connection to our truth.

(3) Connecting to Our Divinity – Remembering that we are sovereign beings and do not have to be persuaded by fear-based narratives.

(4) Nurturing Practices – Actively soothing and comforting ourselves, especially when we have been triggered by those manipulations.

(5) Energy Clearing and Renewal – Letting go of what does not serve us and reconnecting with high-vibrational energy.

Here's What this Means in Everyday Life

Acknowledging & Accepting Emotional Reactions

Rather than resisting or denying difficult feelings, begin by allowing them space to be seen.

For example, if something triggers fear, anger, or sadness, pause and say internally: I feel [emotion] right now, and that’s okay.

Suppressing your feelings or trying to talk yourself out of them won't do any good. Resistance isn't the way. Just allow and accept them.

Grounding Yourself & Returning to Center

Once the emotion is acknowledged, consciously bring yourself back to center. You can do this with deep breathing, a simple mantra (I am safe. I am sovereign. I am in my highest truth.), or placing a hand on your heart and focusing on your body.

Reaffirm Your Connection to Divinity & Truth

Remind yourself: The ultimate truth is love. I choose not to feed fear. I am here to embody the higher timeline.

These affirmations acts as a redirect, shifting your focus from reaction to intention.

Soothing and Comforting Yourself

Engage in a small act of self-care that helps your nervous system settle. This could be drinking warm tea, holding a weighted blanket, listening to calming music, or stepping outside for fresh air.

Energy Clearing and Renewal

After moving through the feelings and reclaiming your truth, release any lingering energy that doesn’t serve you.

You could do that with visualization (imagining light washing over you), physical movement (shaking out tension, stretching, or dancing), or spiritual cleansing (burning sage, using crystals, or taking a salt bath).

Daily Rituals for Your Higher Frequency Lifestyle

Here are simple, daily practices you can use each day to stay connected to the truth of who you are and to the higher timeline being created this year.

(1) The Morning Ritual

Begin the day with grounding: deep breaths, a hand on your heart, and an affirmation: I choose the higher timeline today.

Set an intention for your energy: I radiate love, peace, and clarity.

Move your body gently (stretching, yoga, or walking) to open up energy flow.

(2) Your Midday Check-In

Pause and check in on what you're feeling or what may have come up for you during the morning.

Acknowledge anything that needs to be released.

If you're feeling off-center, use a short grounding technique: breathwork, an affirmation, or stepping outside to breathe in fresh air.

(3) Your Evening Wind-Down

Reflect on your day, looking both for moments to celebrate and ones that need to be released. What felt aligned with what you know to be true? Where might you have reacted or been triggered?

Engage in a soothing practice (tea, journaling, music, or quiet meditation).

Clear your energy before sleep through a visualization or simple gratitude practice.

The Takeaway

By committing to these daily rituals, we'll build a life where we are constantly choosing higher frequencies over triggered reactions. The more we can choose and embody peace, love, and sovereignty, the more we share these energies with the collective, helping them in their own awakening and healing.

As lightworkers, our presence alone can shift the energy around us. Let’s commit to this practice—not just for ourselves, but for the world we are co-creating.

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

How to Connect to the 2025 Higher Timeline

2/12/2025

0 Comments

Given everything that's going on in the world, does it surprise you to think of 2025 as the year of the higher timeline? I can see why it would!

In Kerry's video, she shares that darkness may have intended a year that would be low and dense and heavy, but instead, we can participate in a higher frequency, available now.

The Role of Healing and Consciousness – Every personal healing step contributes to the collective shift, creating a ripple effect that raises humanity’s frequency and dismantles old control programs. - ChatGPT's summary of the video.

Healer, Heal Thyself

In my opinion, this is the most important message in the video: every time we heal, or even take a step toward healing, we send a wave of higher frequency and healing that adds to the higher timeline and benefits the lightworker collective.

So not only can we choose the higher timeline, we can add to it.

Just by allowing ourselves to heal. Even when the healing we experience is small, incomplete or imperfect.

A Deeper Experience of Yourself as Spirit & Energy

This year, we are likely to lose our love for material things.

It will happen gradually. And we may experience it as a lack of joie de vivre, or a lack of motivation.

But at the same time, we will connect more deeply with ourselves in spirit. We will know what else and where else we are in a deeper way.

And the meaning of life, or the things we once thought were so important, will shift. It may not feel good, because it will be unfamiliar, but it's part of the process of experiencing the higher timeline.

Cozy, Comfort-Centered Rituals:
Your Daily Spiritual Practice is More Important than Ever

Every day, take time to feel into who you are being called to become, and what you are being called to let go of or heal. Use my letting go ritual to do so with gentleness and comfort.

The truth is, you already are this new version of yourself, but you'll need to use stillness and presence to connect to her. The same is true of your healing and wholeness - that you already exists, but you will still need to let go of the old story about who you are so you can step into the new one.

The Real War is for Consciousness – The true battle is not external but an invisible war over human perception, thoughts, and beliefs, as forces attempt to keep humanity trapped in false realities. - ChatGPT's summary

Discernment is Needed

Watch out or you'll be manipulated, misled and distracted.

When someone is saying, "look over here!", consider that you are being led to look away from something else. In other words, ...

Avoid programmed hysteria, such as media-driven emotional manipulation that amplifies selective global crises while ignoring others. - ChatGPT's summary.

We've been conditioned to trust authority outside ourselves.

Instead, practice connecting with your own inner truth and knowing yourself better, so your trust is internal, not external. When you are grounded in trusting yourself, it will be much harder to be manipulated or misled.

And staying centered and aligned with your own truth is going to be the best way to stay connected to the higher timeline.

But what about the things that are truly important, real and also, terrible?

Instead of moving in the direction of outrage and resistance, focus instead on becoming, and thus, emitting the opposite.

Instead of outrage about war, be peace. Instead of outrage about white supremacy (that's a personal encouragement, because I am easily triggered there). become and embody the energy of welcome and acceptance and inclusion.

When you get trapped in outrage and resistance, you actually add fuel to the fire. Meaning, you add energetic support and fuel for the thing you don't want.

Far more powerful, is to shift your focus to the change you do want and become that energy. You can count on emitting it and thus, will support the change you want to experience.

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

Happy Groundhog Day: Did You See Your Shadow?

2/2/2025

0 Comments

The shadow is the part of yourself you were programmed to create to survive childhood and a lifetime in the false matrix, and then, conditioned to reject as unacceptable and pretend isn't there. But it's not who you really are. Use your light (your higher self, your divinity) to uncover it and then begin to let it go.

Try my free, comfort-centered letting go ritual. It can be used with any grief or loss, but also comes with affirmations and journal prompts that can help you let go of the false self.

See you next time!

End of the UBC, Winter Edition

1/31/2025

9 Comments

I want to say thank you for sharing this first month of the new year with me. It's my wish that this year turns out to be your happiest and best, and I hope it will be filled with comfort and all things cozy.

But before I go, I want to have a conversation with you about letting go...

One Ritual. 17 Affirmations.
And 3 Journal Prompts

What do you need to let go of today?

I think it could be said that grief and letting go are intrinsic to our everyday lives, and that our capacity for joy increases every time we love ourselves enough to release something that was weighing us down. In fact, whatever you're not letting go of is not only stealing your joy, but wearing you out, one way or another.

Would you like some help with letting go in a way that's gentle and comforting?

I don't know about you, but that's the only way I am willing to do it. It's way too hard, otherwise.

I created a template you can use for creating a comfort-centered letting go ritual. And all month, I've felt it needed tweaking, so I've added some affirmations you can try and a few journal prompts to get you started.

Once you reach out for it, you'll receive any other updates I create in the future.

For example, I often think of things to let go of while I am on the go, so I do a brief visualization, hand over heart, and then move on with my day. I'm thinking about writing that down & adding it to the pot.

How do you respond to your grief?

Here's the link again: letting go ritual

Seasonal Self-Tending: Aligning Comfort with Nature

1/30/2025

6 Comments

Have you noticed that your comfort needs shift with the seasons? Nature moves through her own cycles of blooming and resting, and it seems our souls do, too. So if we can learn self-tending in harmony with the seasons and their natural cycles, we will experience a greater sense of harmony, ourselves.

I find that I often resist seasonal changes. Do you, too?

I resist winter's call to rest (I'm working on it), and spring's profusion of pollinated flowers.

But what if there's something unique in each season that our souls need? What if each season has its own unique medicine for us?

I know that they do, but it's easy to get distracted by other things as time marches on. I'm starting to get better at listening to my body's response to what nature is doing, but there is still room for improvement, especially during the seasons that affect my chronic illnesses.

It's important to find ways to comfort ourselves especially when what we are going through (like pollen season) is something we can't avoid.

So let's look at what each season offers and how we can adapt our comfort practices in harmony with them.

How Winter Holds Us

Winter arrives with darkness and stillness, inviting us to find our own depths. While others might resist turning inward, and we've been conditioned to do so, too, sensitive healers can find medicine in the quiet of winter.

It's not without challenge, though...

The shorter days may lead to winter sadness. Being less active might make you feel restless.

The unending cold and darkness can sometimes feel like a trap, with no way to escape.

And your body may need more nurturing than it does at other times of the year.

How to Follow Winter's Rhythm

(1) Rest. End your days earlier and sleep a little more.

(2) Build nests of soft blankets and pillows. Make it feel like a hug. That will feel even more soothing during the winter season!

(3) Light candles even more often than you usually would to mirror the gradual return of light.

(4) Create a warm, cozy area in your home that beckons you to spend time there, reflecting, reading or doing other restful activities. Place both your journal & your Kindle there.

(5) Pause just to dream, or look at what;s happening outside your window.

Winter Comfort Practices to Try

Warm baths and hot teas will be soothing & comforting
Use soft lamp light instead of harsh overhead lighting
Journal by candlelight

Winter teaches us to honor our need for rest & hibernation, and to trust the need for slowing down.

Awakening to Spring's Comfort

Spring is all about renewal, gently emerging from winter's cocoon, and new growth. It calls us out of our winter rest.

Spring Challenges for Sensitive Healers

The energy of new growth might feel overwhelming. And it can change so quickly, that those changes can be disorienting (pollen, anyone?)

Also, our hearts may need a little support to open and emerge. See, the balance is between emerging and staying protected.

Here are Ways to Navigate Spring Energy

(1) Open windows for short periods of time to let in fresh air

(2) Create cozy corners for when you need to retreat

(3) Find sheltered places in nature

Spring Comfort Practices

Do walking meditations
Plant something and tend it every day
Place spring flowers on your altar

(Note: if like me, you have allergies, you might not do any of those suggested practices. Consider other ways to interact with newness or growth energy, or to tend to something that needs you.)

Sprint teaches us about - the courage it takes to blossom, the need to honor your own timing and trust the way things unfold in and for you.

Summer Comfort

Summer arrives with an abundance of light and life - sometimes more than our sensitive souls know how to hold. While others might be racing to pack their days full, we need to find our own rhythm with summer's expansive energy.

How to Dance with the Intensity of Summer

(1) The long days can feel overwhelming

(2) Heat can increase your sensitivities

(3) More social activities may drain your energy

(4) That sense of abundance might feel like too much

Instead of pushing to match summer's energy, choose to emulate its more gentle expression.
Get up earlier when nature is quieter. Take breaks from the heat.

Sip cooling teas, and use water to release overwhelm. Practice earthing when there's still dew on the ground.

What we can learn in the summer...

(1) Even when the energy is full or abundant, we still need rest and moments of quiet.

(2) We may feel tempted to go at full speed, but we need to balance doing with being.

(3) We need to find our own rhythm, which may not be able to mirror summer's pace.

Fall Comfort

Fall is my favorite season! I saved the best for last, in my opinion. But like the others, it does offer us some challenges...

Fall teaches us that letting go is beautiful. It offers us the energy of transition.

But sometimes those transitions can feel unsettling, and the releasing energy can trigger grief.

The days start getting shorter, and that can begin to affect your mood. You may feel the need for more reassurance than normal, but not know why.

How to Respond to The Energy & Rhythm of Fall

(1) Notice as leaves fall and watch the earlier sunsets to make peace with letting go even as you celebrate the beauty of it.

(2) Welcome the growing darkness with candles

(3) Gather some of autumn's beauty for your altar

How to Create a Fall Comfort Practice

Use cozy wraps when sitting outside
Do more letting go rituals
Have some warming soups and teas
Go for walking meditations in falling leaves

From fall, we can learn how beautiful it is to let things end and find peace in letting go. We can learn about the wisdom we gain from experience and that if we slow down, we get a whole season to prepare for winter's rest.

Paying attention to each season's rhythm and energy will help us slow down, be more mindful and harmonize our own energy to the season. And I love that we can lean into our own rhythm by self-tending according to the season.

Which season is the easiest one for you to adapt to each year?

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

You are not Behind: A Call to Radical Rest, Comfort & Self-Care

1/29/2025

8 Comments

A citizenry too stressed out to pay attention is easily manipulated; a workforce too anxious to think is easily controlled; people who are in a hurry buy stuff. To me, there’s a record-scratch, everyone-at-the-party-stop-and-stare quality to the simple statement, “you are not behind.” -Lyndsey Medford

You are not Behind

The words you are not behind were the title of an email I received on the day I wrote this post. And the quote was near the bottom of it, after the author talked about slowing down to heal an autoimmune disease, reorienting her life around caring for her newborn, and repeating that message to herself again and again, out loud and on sticky notes, until she got it.

By the time I reached the end of the email, I was not only committed to telling myself the same thing, but I knew I also wanted to share this message with you.

A Radical Call to Rest,
Comfort & Self-Care

I got to the end of the email and began to imagine, fueled by her quote, living in a world where women were not manipulated by the tyranny of a to-do list, by the sense of being behind, by the anxiety of imagined failure or by a culture led by the same ideas.

Here are the changes that might be possible...

Our minds, bodies, hearts, and souls would rest

We'd be much less susceptible to manipulation and gaslighting (and we will need that in 2025 & beyond)

The commitment to slower living, a comfort-centered lifestyle, gentle healing and radical self-care would stop feeling like a wish or luxury and the determination to experience them all would kick in.

What else can you imagine that might happen for you, in your life?

I hope this post inspires you.

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

Cozy Comfort-Centered Spiritual Practices for Connecting with Your Divine Self

1/28/2025

12 Comments

Do you ever feel disconnected from your higher self, like you’re too tied up in the noise of everyday life?

You are not alone.

Many sensitive souls and healers want quieter ways to nurture that divine connection. And if you try cozy practices, that bring you comfort, you may find it becomes easier to open your heart to your true self and listen to your inner wisdom.

Let's look at some comforting practices to help you tap into that divine part of yourself, no matter how hectic life feels.

Setting a Sacred Environment

Have you noticed how certain spaces make you feel calmer and more grounded? That’s what you want to experience every time you retreat for sacred time.

Start by setting aside a small, quiet corner in your home where you can focus on reconnecting with your higher self. Add all your favorite cozy things - a warm blanket, scented candles, or other items that bring you peace. Keep it intentional but simple.

You don't need an elaborate setup. Even a cozy chair by the window can become your spiritual retreat. The key is to create a cozy spot where you feel safe to explore your divine self.

Try Journaling to Hear
Your Inner Voice

When was the last time you sat in silence and let your thoughts flow onto paper?

Journaling can be one of the best ways to hear your higher self speak.

Start with simple journal prompts like:

(1) What does my soul need today?

(2) What’s my higher self trying to tell me?

(3) What would bring me joy in this moment?

Don't overthink the answers. The more you practice, the more you’ll notice insights bubbling up that surprise and comfort you.

And on tough days, you can write your heart out to a kind, loving friend—your divine self.

Cozy Meditation

I know we've already talked about meditation for letting go here, and micro meditation for peaceful moments here, but let's focus here on cozying your meditation experience to make spiritual connection more natural, more grounding and more comforting.

Meditation never has to feel intimidating or formal.

Does sitting cross-legged on a hard floor sounds unappealing? Forget about it! Grab a plush blanket, settle into your comfiest chair, and close your eyes.

Focus on your breath. Breathe in deeply through your nose, hold it for a few moments, and then sigh it out. Imagine each exhale carrying away stress and tension.

Need some ideas?

Visualize connecting with your higher self as if you're meeting an old friend. Imagine a warm light filling your heart, reminding you that you’re never truly alone.

The goal here is not perfect meditation. It’s just giving yourself permission to pause and simply be.

Healing with Comfort Rituals

Creating a daily comfort ritual can be a simple way to remind yourself to check in with your higher self.

Here are a few cozy ideas to try...

(1) Morning Tea or Coffee: As you sip your morning drink, set a quiet intention for the day. It could be as simple as “I will show myself kindness” or “Today, I’ll listen to my intuition.”

(2) Bedtime Gratitude Practice: Before bed, identify three things that touched your heart that day. Focusing on these moments can invite deeper peace and feelings of connection.

(3) Self-Compassionate Touch: Place your hand over your heart and tell yourself, “I’m here. I’m listening.”

It might feel small, but it’s powerful. Even something as simple as lighting a candle while repeating a quiet affirmation can be a moment of spiritual stillness.

The Takeaway

Your higher self is always waiting for you, always there. Connecting can be as simple as curling up with a warm blanket and taking a few moments to listen to your heart.

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine
