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?

This past weekend, I ventured into the woods to escape my everyday life and make space to wander and dream. Sitting by a struggling stream, my mind buzzed with thoughts, but nature's beauty helped me anchor into my breath. A butterfly landed beside me, and I felt a profound connection to everything around me and recognized how I had disconnected from myself.

Recently, I celebrated my solar return, my birthday, and declared this the year of ME. I've seen my light dimmed by fear—fear of judgment, rejection, and misunderstanding. Yet, as I connected with Spirit and witnessed the butterfly and the flowing stream, I saw where I was stuck and decided to shift.

Physically removing fallen branches blocking the stream, I realized I could also remove blocks in my life. This act of clearing brought a profound sense of release and presence. Sitting back, I soaked in the sun, feeling affirmed in my path as the Queer-Spirit Guide.

As the days grow longer and summer embraces us, how are you enjoying the light? The Summer Solstice is near, bringing potent energy ready to be harnessed. Join me in embracing this powerful time for self-discovery and renewal.

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.

Creatives often use artistic mediums to express the chaos in their minds, and music is a powerful tool in this regard. What music has been resonating with you lately? Here are some songs that hit me in the feels.

"YOU AGAINST YOURSELF" by Ruel:

This song speaks to the internal battles we face. As a therapist, I know the interventions and psychological concepts, but it doesn’t make my own struggles easier. This track reflects the walls I build against myself and my difficulty asking for help.

"Humans" by Anyma:

This song serves as an affirmation, helping me navigate the feelings stirred by Ruel's song. It emphasizes the power of humans and the complexity of our existence, highlighting the importance of guiding our inner demons to find freedom.

"Changes" by Joy Oladokun:

Joy's song captures the anxiety of living in a chaotic world. With intimate instrumentation, it resonates as an anthem for embracing change and finding gold in the river of life. Amidst global turmoil, it's a reminder that showing up for yourself is crucial.

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!

This month, I delved into the symbolism of the World card, experiencing profound insights into completion and new beginnings. Through daily study and reflection, I deepened my understanding of the power of symbolism in guiding compassionate self-reflection.

In my role as an Intuitive Healer and Divine Channel, I embrace the richness of symbolism to enhance our understanding of life's journey. Despite challenges, including financial struggles and inner healing, I've embraced transformation. I've stepped away from old patterns of codependency, making space for authentic growth and new opportunities.

This year marks a significant transition from my career as a trauma therapist to embodying my role as a Queer-Spirit Guide and activist. It's been a journey of self-discovery, defining what this new chapter means to me and how I can authentically share my message with the world.

As I face the future with optimism and trust in the Universe, I celebrate both completion and new beginnings. What feels complete in your life right now? What new adventures are on the horizon?

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.

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.

By embracing the natural cycles of life and trusting in the process, we can find beauty in rebirth.
