Blooming This Side Of The Moon

A soft walk through energy, instinct, and the animals who choose us. 🌙  A Life Lived in Quiet Connection Animals have found me for as long as I can remember. Birds lingering on my fingers, stray kittens choosing my lap, unfamiliar dogs softening the moment they entered my energy field. I never questioned it. I simply accepted that animals felt safe around me. Only now do I understand the truth

The Crown Chakra, or Sahasrara , is the seventh chakra, located at the very top of the head. Its Sanskrit name means “thousandfold,” symbolizing the infinite petals of a lotus. The unfolding of pure consciousness. This chakra is the seat of spiritual connection, awareness, and divine wisdom. It bridges the individual self with universal energy. When balanced, it opens the doorway to enlightenment, understanding, and inner peace. When imbalanced, we may feel disconnected from

The Third Eye Chakra, or Ajna, is the sixth chakra, located between the eyebrows at the centre of the forehead. Its Sanskrit name means “to perceive,” symbolizing the bridge between the seen and unseen worlds. This chakra governs intuition, imagination, and inner vision. Our ability to see beyond illusion and connect to deeper wisdom. When balanced, it brings clarity, insight, and self-awareness. When imbalanced, we may experience confusion, denial, or disconnection from intu

We’ve been wandering through the branches and roots of the autonomic nervous system together, noticing its subtle whispers in our bodies. Perhaps you’ve tried the Bloom and Grow practices from our last posts and felt a tiny spark. A seed of awareness, a little shift in how you move or breathe. Now we are turning our attention to the language of the vagus nerve. A pathway that branches through us like a vine, translating life’s moments into sensations we can feel. We’ve alread

Our bodies move through life guided by two sacred rhythms, the sympathetic  and the parasympathetic . Each carries its own purpose, its own pulse: one for survival, one for restoration. Together, they are the heartbeat of our inner garden, the wind and the soil, the sunlight and the roots. 🌙✨ The Sympathetic Rhythm: The Fire of Engagement The sympathetic rhythm is the surge, the spark of readiness. It rises when life asks for your attention. A sudden call, a worry, a jolt th

Wandering Through the Garden For years, I wandered through therapies like a garden in shadow. CBT, DBT, again and again, chasing light that never quite reached me. 🌙 Each session promised growth, yet something always felt missing. When I spoke this truth, I was told I wasn’t “trying hard enough.” It felt invalidating. Half the time, I wasn’t even calm enough to remember the skills I was meant to practice. My roots were restless, my branches untended. The Missing Gardener The

Sometimes our energy gets a little… stuck. Not just emotionally, but woven deep into our bodies, into the memory of our cells. Integrated Energy Therapy, or IET, moves through those hidden pathways like a gentle, intelligent current. I often picture it as water meandering along a stream that’s been blocked by tiny beaver dams. The dams tried to protect, to redirect, to make sense of what came before. But eventually, the flow slows. The water loses its sparkle. IET comes in, s

The Throat Chakra, or Vishuddha, is the centre of communication and self-expression.Located in the throat, it’s where inner truth takes shape through voice, creativity, and resonance.This chakra helps us express who we truly are. Not just through words, but through authenticity, art, and the energy we send into the world. When balanced, the Throat Chakra supports clear, confident communication and aligned self-expression. When imbalanced, we may struggle to speak up, feel mis

The Heart Chakra, or Anahata , is located in the centre of the chest, near the heart and lungs. It is the bridge between the lower,...

For a long time, I thought Reiki needed to happen in person. I loved watching a client settle into stillness, hearing the rhythm of their breath slow, and feeling that shared quiet fill the room. When my chronic illness made in-person sessions harder, I hesitated. Distance Reiki had never felt like my way. But something beautiful has unfolded. These sessions, which I call Remote Bloom Sessions  on my website, have become a kind of glimmer in what could have been darkness. A r
