Free Reading Samhain Eclipse
This weekend marks the final lunar eclipse in a two year cycle related to Taurus and Scorpio.
The full moon is a time of letting go rather than manifesting, and the eclipse amplifies this energy.
As this event aligns with Samhain / Halloween / Day of the Dead, we can include a release of those shadows that do not serve us anymore.
Movies as a Tool for Transformation
Cinema is my first true love.
I was that kid in class who always had a movie reference for any topic.
I even procured a film degree and worked in the industry in NYC for three years. I found it was not so easy to find a creative role, which tarot offers me in, well, spades (and cups and wands and pentacles).
Both tarot and movies shine a light on collective unconscious archetypes in similar ways, and we can use both as a tool for self-awareness and growth.
What Insights did You gain this week?
At the Ashram in India over a decade ago, I was very frustrated with my Swami.
I wanted him to give me the answers and free me from my feelings of being lost.
He wouldn’t fess up. He just kept telling me that I had to find those answers within myself. Very annoying of him.
Each of us seek external support for our guidance.
We ask friends and family for their perspective, we go to coaches and consultants and teachers.
These are all great support systems that I celebrate you resourcing.
The catch is that these networks all function much better when you are also checking in regularly with your own inner guru.
Witness Yourself Through the Ages
This week, my best friend since I was 8 years old is visiting.
It’s a unique reflection to have someone close who has known you through so many phases of life.
I’m extra lucky that Sheri is a compassionate and kind witness, since other people I have known for years do not always offer such grace.
Take a moment to consider seeing yourself from who you were in your youth to who you have become.
The Risk of Choosing to Pause
We can talk all day about how much we hold self esteem, but only when we take actions that display self-worth does it really solidify as actual value.
It’s natural that the associated guilt coming up for me was deeply discombobulating. That’s going to happen every time I practice this type of self-care until it becomes normalized in my system.
My friend pointed out that baseball players during practice will have balls thrown at them on purpose. This helps them get less scared of getting hit by the ball.
We have to get in the line of the ball to get hit with a discomfort of choosing what we know is right for us enough times until we’re not scared of it anymore.
Body Positivity Practices
It took me a long time to love my body.
We all know the reasons for this. Society has weird standards that our parents and friends sadly buy into.
Even if we do fit the “ideals”, most of us experience an aversion to the design of our corporeal earth suit in some way.
Today, I want to celebrate your shape and mine, and share some of the ways that I embraced my own short and bootyful bounty.
Tips to Value Your Attention More
I value your attention and am grateful to each of you who read these newsletters. I try to put thought and care into each of them to show my own regard for your presence here.
In this fascinating era we are existing in, our focus is being pulled so many directions. It’s a challenge to lead a simple life. Even as I write this email, distractions pull me sideways.
Today, my wish is to inspire us all to simply engage more fully with our attention setting.
Trials Bring Us Closer
The stories we tell have a profound effect on our expectations of ourselves and others.
When we actually observe the people around us, instead of what the media shines it’s light on, we might find that people are generally better than we presume.
Today, consider a moment where crisis struck and you saw people show up. Hold that in your heart. Notice where your fears are being fed fiction.
One of the reasons I love my work is that it lets me show up with total presence for people and shine a light on benefits and positive potentials for their future.

What are your 5 Core Values?
Sometimes I run around doing a million tasks, few of which serve my highest purpose.
How we spend our time reflects what we place value on.
This can be seasonal.
In the summer, my values for community and nature are going to stampede my higher purpose of writing my book, which fits under my values of education and legacy.
Today, sit with the list of values below . . .
