It doesn't have to always feel so hard or so intense. AND, when you step away  from a long time habit; (for me in this case: saying goodbye to a 17 year relationship with social media) change takes time, lightness, humor, peacefulness make room, patterns naturally unravel and unwind and (un) conscious behaviors recalibrate when stepping into stillness, quiet and calm. Is peaceful boring? If peace is what I want to feel can it feel satisfying as my human nature? Stable and Steady YES! Here are some things I am entering the new year with: GROUNDiNG: (for me, I am wearing Earthing Harmony shoes with a copper ring on an acupuncture point that take a month to break in, so I'll keep you posted on how that slows me down for the present because everyone has their own unique experience). Clearing resistance, opening up to a new possibility, opening heart to life, digesting the past necessary shocks to the system can be learning curves, challenges and extremes. Sometimes the middle ground is not a default setting and smooth sailing can be a skill to genuinely appreciate with routine, predictability, repetition and clarity (for me, emotionally dense experiences to catalyze and get to where I am now has allowed me to return to being with what is: when the nervous system receives a lot of shocks - coming back into growth, evolution, perspective shifts and thankfulness). One of my triggers recently said: When I am not feeling heard it can feel easy to believe the idea "what if I feel like this forever?" No more strict rules or obligations. No more judgement/punishment energy. No more burdens. Opening ups to self forgiveness and remembrance. Time for benevolence and care and holding tenderness with LOVE! It's easy for me to give love. It's my edge to open my heart to receiving love in all ways and support. I deepen my capacity for leading with heart and generosity. I trust you life:) I love you!

Being in the face of anger invites a deeper truth. When we look at ourselves clearly through the face of anger, we get to hold our passion even deeper. Have you noticed yourself in relationship with anger? How do you show up with it? www.magicmomentsplay.com

It has been a winter season of slowing down, tending, living based on nature's cycles, following the spiritual breadcrumbs, listening to the nudges etc. and allowing myself to be led! This winter for me has been all about REST and RENEWAL. I have been in experimentation with silence, unplugging, regenerating my own spaciousness through awareness. Spring is a new season that ushers in new life, stepping into the sun and allows us to shed what is no longer alive. Like a snake coming into a new skin, we have never been this version of ourselves before. Can you notice what resonates? Can you notice what is not an authentic fit? Can you remember that you are meant to feel the goodness this life has to offer? The beauty of learning how to let go is liberation and awakening us to the magic we have inside and the medicine we have for each other. We are the creation itself inspiring each other for honoring what has been and what is coming through anew. www.magicmomentsplay.com

Allowing yourself to breathe is a gift! Breathing is exactly what your body needs to process. We never have to figure out the why. The mind is there to wander and sometimes I invite my thoughts in to wander. The breaths are with intention. They are with purpose. If you can lean into the depths of that, lean into that. Maybe it feels good to expand your core space. Letting a wave wash over you as you exhale. When we take the time to charge our own batteries, we feel better and refreshed. www.magicmomentsplay.com

Just being is the gift, the medicine and the blessing. Everywhere we are guided to go, there is a bigger reason 💜 The reason that I’m really good at my job is because I meet everybody exactly where they are and nobody misses anything. I treat myself as the ceremony & home of high consciousness that is coming in ♥️ When we connect to ourselves, we can connect better with others. Let's go!  www.magicmomentsplay.com

"When people have dysregulated brains they suffer physical and emotional pain, life is hard and relationships are damaged. Neurofeedback, also known as EEG Biofeedback, is a non-invasive alternative to medication. It is painless, drugless, free of harmful side effects and produces noticeable improvements that can enhance the effect of other traditional therapies. At SYMMETRY Neuro-Pathway Training, Diane and her team empower people by providing neurofeedback services and systems that help the brain regulate." https://symmetryneuropt.com/ Resource: The NeuroWhereAbouts Guide: A Neurodevelopmental Guide for Parents and Families Who Want to Prevent Youth High-Risk Behavior  by: Crystal Collier PhD

Here are some lessons I have been receiving lately. Patience, Surrender and giving to myself the deep abiding whole satisfaction of delayed gratification. I am learning to nurture myself with so much inward love and grace. I am capable to sourcing my own sense of security. I receive the deep deep love of the mothers embrace. I am being called to mother others and myself, too. To hold and be held. ♥️ I have access to more love than my heart can bear. I allow the deep deep love to stretch my heart. I am love & I am loved. I am able to see another option. I am flexible. I trust in the universe for perfect time and perfect form. I will not be left behind. From this day forward, my heart is open.

Come walk with Meraki and me! I am taking you with us on a hike during this episode. Are we willing to listen? Are we willing to listen even deeper? Are we willing to shed patterns that are no longer supportive, no longer functional and no longer healthy if it means we get to walk away from all of the ways we haven't been truly kind to ourselves to deepen into even more magic in our lives? If we could come into even more self trust. I want you to zoom out and imagine what it would be like if things turned out even better than you could have even imagined! www.magicmomentsplay.com

Are you feeling ready to rise to the occasion your life is presenting to you? So much of the time we can be searching while we dismiss what is right under our nose. Sometimes when we experience something that is playing out in a different way than what we planned or what we had in mind, the attachment to the outcomes and expectations invite us to take a look deep within. www.magicmomentsplay.com

How do you feel home within yourself when you are home away from home? Traveling to new places brought up the unknowns and showed me where to honor my needs and priorities. Sleep, boundaries and sensitivities were honored so that I could live my best life. I had so much pleasure, spaciousness, magic and joy on my summer vacation. Cheers to celebrating a new decade. I am refreshed to be home and back in my routine. www.magicmomentsplay.com

I am celebrating my health journey and my arrival to my third decade. I am turning thirty this month! I am stepping into this next chapter with empowerment and deeper levels of acceptance. Tending to my liver, specifically, has allowed me to access the repressed anger and work with my dragon inner fire energy in my meditations. Like I say, when life gives you lemons, flush your liver! How practical and healthy, eh? Did you know that in ancient Chinese medicine (ACM) the liver represents anger, power and boundaries that represent what we deeply value and care about. Have you paused to celebrate just how far you've come? I am here for it! Big love everyone. www.magicmomentsplay.com
