Loving Lotus - Holistic Healing

Hello beautiful souls,

I humbly share with you another special offering where we will celebrate and learn with Nature's cycles and its wisdom.

🍁 The fall equinox, occurring on September 22, marks the moment when day and night are approximately equal in length. This balance signifies a shift toward the darker half of the year, embodying themes of transition and reflection. Spiritually, it represents a time for introspection and gratitude. As nature begins its descent into dormancy, it's an opportunity to evaluate personal growth, release what no longer serves us, and prepare for a period of inner work and renewal. Embracing the equinox can help align with the rhythms of nature, fostering harmony and balance in our own lives. 🍁

Many ancient societies celebrated the fall equinox as a time of harvest and abundance. The equinox symbolized a balance between light and darkness, reflecting a time of equilibrium before the onset of winter. In cultures such as the Maya and the ancient Egyptians, this balance was seen as a potent time for reflection and realignment.

In ancient Celtic traditions, the fall equinox marked the beginning of preparations for winter. It was a time to stockpile resources and fortify communities for the colder months.

The balance of the equinox also signified a moment for spiritual reflection and alignment. In many cultures, this period was used to honor ancestors, seek guidance, and set intentions for the coming season.

Overall, the fall equinox was a pivotal time of change, celebration, and preparation in ancient traditions, deeply intertwined with the rhythms of nature and human life.

I invite you to join us with an open heart and a spirit ready to reflect and renew. Let’s celebrate this moment of balance and gratitude and welcome the beauty of fall together.

🍁 When: September 22nd - Sunday

🍁 Time: 2 pm to 6 pm

🍁 Where: Rodney Dr. San Leandro (full address after registration)

Cost: $62

I hope to see you there!

Hello beautiful souls,

The New Moon in Leo is on this Sunday early in the morning. We will have our Women's Circle on Saturday afternoon, a great time to focus on releasing all we need to let go, to open space to our new intentions.

A little bit about this Leo New Moon energy:
"Some of Leo’s lessons involve taking pride in ourselves as unique individuals, assuming responsibility for our lives, and giving ourselves warmly and generously to others. This New Moon period is an excellent time to meditate upon some of the characteristics of Leo. Keywords for this self-expressive Fire sign — such things as proud, noble, generous, hospitable, caring, warm, authoritative, active, and open — are traits that we might enhance, develop, and incorporate into our personalities.

We all have Leo somewhere in our charts. Use the coming month to improve those areas of life. It’s time to awaken our “inner child” and find ways to express ourselves creatively. With this potent Leo energy, we can make significant changes in our lives that will benefit us well beyond this Moon cycle. It’s time to make some plans and set the stage for reaping the rewards from our new beginnings, as little or big as they may be, approximately two weeks after the Full Moon occurs."
From: cafeastrology.com

🔥Ignite your inner fire and embrace the vibrant energy of the Leo new moon with us! This is a special time to set intentions, release what no longer serves you, and awaken your creative spirit.

Why Join Us?
🌟 Connect with like-minded souls in a nurturing environment.
🧘‍♀️ Experience guided meditations and healing practices that resonate with the Leo energy.
🎨 Engage in creative activities that unleash your authentic self and amplify your intentions.
🔮 Receive intuitive guidance to help you manifest your dreams.

📅 Date: August 3rd
🕒 Time: 3 - 5 pm
📍 Location: Rodney Dr. - San Leandro (full address after registration)
💲Cost: $30

🌌 What to Bring:
A journal for intention-setting
Any crystals or tokens that empower you
An open heart and a willingness to shine!

🌈 Space is limited, so reserve your spot today! Please, sign up until Friday afternoon, Aug. 2nd. You can DM me or send me an email ([email protected]) to register and I will send you payment information

Feel free to invite your friends.

Blessings to you all,

Hello beautiful souls,

It is time for the third offering of the Series: Awakening the Inner Healer. The intention with this series of offerings is to connect us to the 4 elements of nature and to support us in awakening our Inner Healer, our Medicine Woman. At our first and second offerings we connected to the Earth and Water Elements and herbal cleansing wisdom, with the "barridas" and herbal baths and teas. At this third offering we will be connecting to the Fire Element (our spiritual body and power of transformation and creation) and its healing wisdom, and herbs that can be used in "fire limpias".

We all have a deep and innate wisdom inside our bodies and soul. Through the advancement of Modern Civilization and technology we have been disconnecting more and more from this innate wisdom and this power to heal ourselves.

All ancient civilizations knew we had this ability and knew we could connect with it through Nature and through a deep dive into our body wisdom.

I invite you to rediscover and awaken your Medicine Woman and your Inner Healer through the connection with the Fire element, your spirit, your sacred sexuality, creative and transformative energy and expanded vision.

Register by August 15th, please. To register, DM me or send an email to [email protected]

Only 10 spots available!

Date: August 17th
Time: 1 to 5 pm

Women's Circle - New Moon in Aries Practices & Ritual Come join us for our Women's Circle event where we'll be diving into New Moon in Aries practices and rituals together!

Hello everyone,

This is tomorrow, Saturday, April 6th!! We still have some spots available.

Let’s gather and prepare to bloom with new growth into this lush season with a mini yin reiki reset geared to nourish your internal landscape and systems. We will work with the element of fire to purify the stagnant energy from the last cycle to create space and clarity for our visions and intentions.

Our time together will include: a fresh yin sequence alongside some rejuvenative reiki, soothing and cleansing breathwork, and simple snacks and refreshments for our in-between sequence break. Bring your journal to record any insights or messages received during your time within your emotional interior.

What to Expect:
During the workshop, participants will receive Reiki in all their main 7 Chakras while doing the Yin yoga poses. The combination of those two practices will create space in your physical body, nourish your nervous system, promote balanced energy, encourage deep relaxation, and increase your ability to cope with stress. It is our hope that this workshop will provide a powerful and deep experience of energy healing for the physical, mental, emotional, and energetic bodies.

When: April 6th
Time: 1 pm to 5:30 pm

Hello ladies,

I hope you are all doing well and getting ready for Winter time and all the festivities. Our New Moon Circle will be this Sunday, November 12th, from 10 am to 12 pm.

With Winter approaching, we are called in to go inwards, and it is a great time to connect with our deepest emotions and reflect on the year that we are leaving behind. It can be a tender period where we can get in touch with some grief related to things we need to let go of and anxiety related to things we want to bring in for the new year to come.

The New Moon in Scorpio also invites us to embrace those deep emotions and desires and to dig deeper into the mysteries around us instead of always being content with the status quo.

I invite you to join us on this beautiful journey of self-discovery and self-care. And to clear the "ground" so we can bring our intentions to this new cycle of darkness that is coming. It is on the dark and warm soil that new seeds germinate! Don't forget that.

When: November 12th
Time: 10 am to 12 pm
Where: Rodney Dr., San Leandro (full addressafter registration)

Cost: $28.00

Please, let me know if you are coming and complete payment by Saturday morning
You can PM me for more information and to register.

Hello ladies,

Come celebrate the Full Moon and heal in sisterhood with me and other amazing women!

We are going through some challenging times right now not only in the collective but also in our personal lives. There is a lot going on in the sky, lots of transformational energy and to be able to got through all that on a more stable way it is important to ground ourselves, connect with our bodies and soul and ask what we still need to let go of. What are the patterns that are keeping us from living our lives with less fear, more presence and more fulfillment?

This is a great time to create and be in a space where we feel safe and supported to get in touch with our emotions, embrace all that is happening to us and open ourselves for change and more balance into our lives. And I am so grateful we can create that space together.

I hope to see you there! Please, feel free to invite your friends.

Show your magic! ✨️

Reiki is now a pretty well-known healing practice, and many people have experienced it's healing energy. It has been around for 100 years, and its efficacy has been studied in many different research studies.

But how can Reiki help us have a more balanced and healthy life?

After many studies and 100 years of practice and feedback from clients, we know today that Reiki can help decrease stress, pain, and anxiety from our everyday life.

But how? During a Reiki session, clients can increase relaxation and calm their parasympathetic nervous system. Practitioners of this ancient practice use a light touch, or no touch at all, during reiki sessions to calm the nervous system and help promote a healthy flow of energy.

That way it helps to reduce stress, pain, and worries, balancing on all levels — mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual — which allows the body to heal itself.

Have you done a Reiki session?
You can book one with me and experience this amazing and calming form of energy healing and bring into your life more balance, healing and peacefulness.

My office is located in San Leandro, Bay Area - CA.

I came back to me, and the magic happened

I stopped insisting where there was not what I was looking for.
I stopped waiting on occupied chairs.
I stopped putting my expectations on busy people.
I stopped pretending that the other understood.
I stopped putting my eyes and hope on hearts that didn't want to beat beside me.

And then ... the magic happened ...

I came back to myself, as the only possible destination.
I came back to myself, as the only way available.
I came back to myself, as the only meeting pending.
I came back to myself and could see the wounds, the scars, the pains and my dehydrated soul, asking for water.

And I accepted myself.

I held myself.
I forgave myself.
I lay on my shoulder.
I named myself with my own voice.

And I found myself different.
I have myself again.

And then ... the magic happened ...

I have the keys to the doors I want to open. Here inside.
Outside, there are only the roadblocks.
But I decide where and how it depends on me.

I decide where.
I choose how ...
I choose who ...
I decide what I want ...
I decide what I deserve ... and what I want!

And the magic happened to me, because it never left, because it always lived in me, but it didn’t allow me to see it, because I rejected me and then I went down to my shadows and got up again, hugged myself, accepted myself and it was still alive.

"I'll tell you right now, the doors to the world of the wild self are few but precious.

If you have a deep scar, that is a door;

If you have an old, old story, that is a door.

If you love the sky and the water so much that you almost cannot bear it, that is a door.

If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door."

~ Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés

I sometimes forget
that I was created for Joy.
My mind is too busy.

My Heart is too heavy
for me to remember
that I have been
called to dance
the Sacred dance of life.

I was created to smile
To Love
To be lifted up
And to lift others up.

O’ Sacred One
Untangle my feet
from all that ensnares.

Free my soul.
That we might
Dance
and that our dancing
might be contagious.

Hafiz 🧡

It is time ✨️💜

She Danced

she danced for the love she felt
the love she gave away
and the love she kept

she danced to free her spirit
and to free other spirits too
she danced in response to joy
and to process pain
she moved her body
like her life depended on it
praying for love to come,
for sadness to go

she danced for all the people
who can’t dance for themselves
she also taught others to dance
for justice, for truth, for possibility
for healing the broken-hearted
she danced to break the ties that bind
our women ~ our mothers
to bring awareness and healing

she danced to break open the hearts of
our men ~ our fathers
to bring truth and compassion
to invite friendship and art
into the open spaces
that the dance created
she danced
to keep the flame of true love burning

she danced when she was too tired to walk
she danced between the worlds

she danced because a celebration
calls for dancing
the twirl of skirts the rhythm of feet
the snapping and clapping,
the exultant inhale and exhale

she danced with lovers, she danced with friends
she danced alone too because some nights
we all dance alone and because sometimes
dancing is all that can be done

she danced for the artists and musicians
and scientists and alchemists and midwives
and physicians and housewives and gas stationers
and waitresses and for all who work
too too hard, for too too little

she danced for all the creators of invention
and those whose gift is just: To BE.
she danced to dislodge the caught gifts
struggling to get free in each of us

she danced for the living and for the dead
in birth and in mourning
for peace, beauty and creative expression
she danced our prayers all the way to GOD
which isn’t so very far after all…

Reground: Healing the Healers with The Power of Community Love

About this Event

“When we choose to love, we choose to move against fear, against alienation and separation. The choice to love is a choice to connect, to find ourselves in the other.” bell hooks

One more year has passed since the pandemic. Another year adjusting and figuring out different layers of impact that these three past years had in our lives. For us in Wellness in Action one thing became even more clear: the power of community love sustains and supports us during the hardest times and it is also alive and present to celebrate us when we shine. Community love has the power to offer us the right medicine when we didn't even know we needed it.

For Reground 2023 gathering, we want to invite you to experience a full day of Community Love manifestation and exploration. We want to share the power we get from the communities we work with and we also want to learn more about how you practice and share your own community love and values.

Come and join us to embrace, share and receive community love through movement, storytelling, art making and more.
