The Pink Full Moon in Libra happens Friday April 19th at 4:10 a.m. I’m the first to admit I’m a nature lover and bonafide treehugger. No, really, I actually hug trees. On my morning hikes, I greet Grandfather Tree, a strong California Live Oak, who stands firm amidst a flurry of poison oak so I simply say a warm hello. I pass through an aisle of towering Eucalyptus and a small stand of three Bay Laurels who always seem to shimmy as I pass. I consider these my Aunties. As I r

The Full Moon in Libra happens Wednesday March 20th at 6:43 p.m. PST. Vernal Equinox happens March 20th. When you have an achy neck a good massage therapist will not just massage the muscles in the neck, they’ll find the specific place of tension. They find that place in the body that has bound itself up into a knot preventing the muscle’s fluid movement, and often if you’re experiencing the pain in the neck, the place of origin might be somewhere completely different, perha

Last Friday night, my husband and I were invited to attend an acoustic Living Room Show of the small indie duo, Marie/Lepanto up in Petaluma. A Living Room Show is a sort of pop-up where musicians make their way around the country sans stage or soundsystem welcomed by hosts into the intimate settings of their living rooms full of about 40 people. As we rode with our friends through the back winding roads of West Marin, making our way up to Petaluma before dusk settled over th

The Full Moon in Capricorn happens Wednesday June 27th at 9:53 p.m. PST. Relationships are about relating with one another. As my dear friend and wise shaman, Tito Santana says, "we are all relatives". We are relatives with each human being you see. Because we are all energy first, before anything else, take it further with the belief that we are relatives with each point of energy we encounter. After sitting in my hillside vision circle a few days ago, I began to hike along

The Full Moon in Scorpio happens Sunday April 29th at 5:58 p.m. PST. There's a rug I've had in my home office for years.I picked it up for a bargain at a yard sale years ago. I bought it because it served a purpose, it was the right size, the right price, but it's not something I love. In fact I tolerate it at best. Each morning I step into my office I'm met with it unsavory presence. The color and pattern clashing with everything else. When I tried to practice yoga my mat s

The Full Moon in Libra happens Saturday March 31st at 5:37 a.m. PST. This full moon supports us to step outside of the matrix of collective consciousness and sit back in our energetic alignment. Full moon is all about release. What is yours and what is everyone else’s? Yes, we can absorb other people’s “yuck” and we can absorb our own “yuck”. Everything the ego emits gets thrown into the big collective soup pot and simmers just in front of us all the time. Coming back to the

Whenever I'm at a cocktail party, there comes a time in conversations when people ask, "So what do you do for a living?" After telling them I'm an energy healer, I watch as the husbands politely saunter away towards the charcuterie and the wives lean in closer with intrigue. Those two words, energy and healer are loaded with possible questions and I've fielded them all. The most common is," Aren't you exhausted at the end of the day from taking on everyone's energy?" It's a

The Full Moon in Virgo happens Thursday March 1st at 4:51 p.m. PST. During the portal opening from the last full moon and lunar eclipse we felt a renewed sense of faith, resilience and hope. We gained a knowing deep within us that we are aligning with the co-creative energy of the Universe and Mother Earth. We are conduits for these two powerful energies to run through us and into this physical plane. And we can only co-create if we also sit in the seat of our own power. Taki
