Hello There Intuitive Friends!
Happy New Moon in Libra Greetings! I hope this cycle brings fresh new beginnings for us all.
So many of us are going through an awakening or a re-awakening of some sort. I feel that we are getting down to what matters most, are closer to finding balance and reconnecting with the natural world that demands it. We live in a society that thrives off a consumptive relationship that is simply not sustainable. Many of us are realizing this as a fact of survival, but in this movement there is also opportunity to create a truly supportive community for all.
I hope that this space can help serve as a safe place to take a break from the noise and reconnect with something deeper within each of us. Thank you for being here and being a part of that.
Original Poetry…
Love builds in layers.
The first coat may look sparse, spread out. Thin.
The second layer, depth is added.
Then the third, and its made deeper and deeper, more and more solid, pronounced.
Vibrant.
Love builds in layers over time.
We must trust the process and have faith that the end result will be worth it.
A work of art seen and felt by the heart.
-For my husband Joseph, for today on our 14th wedding anniversary.
Empowering Mirror Affirmation…
I love discovering all of the little ways that we can incorporate intuitive living and practical magic into our lives. I adore all of the tools, crystals, books, and such and very much believe that they help, but the truth is that all we really need to make magic is already within ourselves.
For example, I tried this simple mirror affirmation for protection the other day and when I tell you I felt empowered and protected immediately I am not exaggerating!
I just looked straight into my own eyes in the mirror and said “I am Divinely protected.” The light within the circular shape of my pupil immediately signified to me an inner connection with the Divine being made. I now use this affirmation when I feel like I need an extra boost of spiritual protection or confidence, and it gives me a strong feeling of warm, positive energy every time. I also love that it’s easy to do practically anywhere, any time. Try it for yourself to feel just how powerful and protected you are! The proof is already within you.
Talking to the Trees…
Do you talk to the trees? Growing up as a child of the 90’s in midwest Texas I spent a lot of time outside. I remember spending hours sitting in fields of wildflowers and climbing Pecan trees. We moved to South Carolina when I was 11 and then I climbed our neighbor’s Magnolia.
In my loud and chaotic childhood trees always provided a safe space for me to pretend like the rest of the world didn’t exist and couldn’t see me. I loved the book My Side of the Mountain and would dream about taking off to live in a hollow tree in the woods.
Trees still provide me with many blessings as an artist, storyteller, and as an intuitive. From a career, to shelter, to even a children’s book, trees have given me so much, but my newest and perhaps most practical intuitive ritual has made it’s own huge impact.
Every morning I am in my studio I open my window and say good morning to the trees. If I am leaving for the day or coming back I acknowledge them and thank them. It’s a simple gesture but the trees listen. They talk to the soil that nourishes their roots, they send messages in the wind that blows through their leaves. Their generosity flows in the oxygen that they make and the water that drips from their branches. Trees are truly one of our most wonderful gifts.
Speaking of, I also shared more on The Gifts of Wood in this month’s issue of the free community publication, The Collective. Be sure to read and check out some of the incredible work others are doing within the intuitive community as well.
Thank you for another wonderful week! I hope that you are able to find something that serves you here. Please take what you need and leave the rest.
With love,
Katie T.
