Today, I’m immersing myself in Sedona’s powerful energy all the way from Maryland as I work on my upcoming book, "Balancing the Cosmic Divine." Beside me on my Summer Altar, I have crystals—golden tektite, agni manitite, "Lemurian" quartz, and lepidolite—all found or gifted in Sedona. These were cleansed during my sacred journey to the birthing cave.

As I write, I connect with these energies and draw cards to commune with my guide, Brother Michael. He affirms that both this book and my upcoming Sedona retreat are a huge SOUL YES, offering transformation for me and others. I envision myself in Sedona, with the book published, dancing under the stars with my spiritual siblings, sipping custom hot cocoas.

Sedona’s energy feels both lunar and solar, balancing the cosmic divine within us. Her magic is palpable, from the red rocks to the breathtaking sunrises. I feel her healing energy and know I’ll be there again soon.

If your soul resonates with this magic, join us for our next retreat. We’re weaving our dreams into reality. Who will dance with us in Sedona’s sacred vortex?

The Summer Solstice, also known as Midsummer or Litha, marks the peak of the solar year and is celebrated worldwide. This holiday represents the longest day of the year and the sun's potent power. It's a time of abundance, heightened spiritual energy, and the turning point where daylight begins to wane. Celebrations vary across cultures, with some of the most famous traditions occurring at Stonehenge and in Sweden, where people dance, decorate with flowers, and enjoy traditional foods. Bonfires play a central role in many celebrations, symbolizing purification and renewal.

Living LUNA is diving into the beauty and complexity of music this May! Music's connective qualities are extraordinary, creating social bonds and enriching our lives. I've always found music to be a powerful way to connect with others. I even ask new friends to create playlists so I can learn about their tastes. My collection of over 330 playlists reflects my love for diverse musical expressions.

As an autistic person, I often hyperfixate on a song for weeks if it resonates with me. I recall a day spent cleaning the bedroom while listening to DROELOE's "Sunburn" on repeat for two hours—it was perfect! Music collaboration projects reveal the unique ways people perceive and experience music, transcending technical concepts and fostering deep connections.

Throughout May, we'll share how music impacts us and invite you to join the conversation. We'll explore various genres, from inspiring and healing to emotional and unconventional music. We want to hear from you too! Share your favorite songs in the comments, and we'll add them to our Musical May Spotify Playlist. Let's celebrate the power of music together!

The Judgment tarot card embodies profound themes of spiritual awakening, rebirth, and personal responsibility. It depicts a scene of resurrection, with an angel blowing a trumpet as people rise from their graves to be judged. This imagery symbolizes a moment of reckoning, calling individuals to evaluate their past actions and make positive changes. The card serves as a powerful reminder of accountability, urging us to take responsibility for our choices and their consequences. Additionally, the Judgment card signifies a period of intense personal growth and transformation, where old patterns and beliefs are shed in favor of new insights and understandings. Though challenging, this process leads to greater clarity and self-awareness. Ultimately, the Judgment tarot card invites us to embrace change, reflect on our past actions, and move towards a more authentic and purposeful life. Through self-evaluation and embracing transformation, we find liberation in honesty and truth, paving the way for renewal and self-discovery.

The Tower tarot card, depicting a crumbling tower struck by lightning, symbolizes sudden upheaval, chaos and the destruction of old patterns. Though confronting at first, it ultimately represents a transformative process - a wake-up call to demolish beliefs and structures that no longer serve us in order to create space for growth, rebirth and rebuilding a new reality aligned with our highest good.

The Devil tarot card represents our primal urges, desires, and the darker shadow aspects of human nature. Though often misunderstood as evil, it encourages self-examination of areas where we feel enslaved by temptation, addiction or unhealthy patterns. The chained figures depict bondage to our impulses, challenging us to liberate ourselves by embracing our sovereign power over the seductions of materialism and excess.

The Temperance tarot card symbolizes balance, moderation, and harmony. It depicts an angelic figure pouring water between two cups, representing finding the middle ground and avoiding excess. Temperance encourages us to seek equilibrium in our thoughts, emotions, and actions by practicing self-control and patience. By cultivating a harmonious flow between opposing forces, we can lead a more fulfilling life.

The Death tarot card symbolizes transformation, the end of a cycle, and making way for new beginnings - not literal death. Though the imagery seems ominous, it reminds us that change is inevitable, and we must let go of what no longer serves us to grow and evolve. By embracing the natural cycles of life and trusting in the process, we can find beauty in rebirth.
