We’re officially in Leo Season now! And with the full moon this past weekend, will this big cat energy deliver the boost to confidence and vitality astrologers promise?

DRAINED OR IMBALANCED? Did you know you have an invisible force field guarding your wellbeing? It's called the energetic immune system and is comprised of your etheric systems, including nadis, meridians, chakras, and your aura. Modern medicine already understands that mounting an immune response and maintaining a healthy immune system require immense amounts of metabolic energy.

#energymedicine, as well as ancient systems like ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and movement practices like qigong and tai chi, all understand that the body’s systems get that energy from life force (sometimes called qi, chi or prana) that must circulate via our energy systems like the nadis and meridians.

Mystical practices like energy shielding, clearing, and white light protection can strengthen your energetic immune system, primarily by keeping external low vibrational energies out, and erecting healthy boundaries to keep your vital life force in. You can also safeguard your aura from "energy vampires."

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR LIGHT

DEVOTIONAL PATH FOR HEALTH: In a world where stress and anxiety often feel overwhelming, the ancient practice of bhakti yoga offers a profound path to inner peace and physical health. 🤲

This spiritual tradition, centered on devotion, love, and surrender to the divine, has been shown to unlock a treasure trove of benefits for mind, body and spiritual awakening.

Through practices like chanting mantra, prayer, and meditation, bhakti yoga focuses our personal aspiration and devotion on a divine deity or the general divine, focusing on devotional gratitude and giving to the divine as a path to greater receiving. 😌

Studies even show it can reduce stress, provide pain relief, and improve mood – all while encouraging a shift away from ego-driven thinking and towards a more transcendent, self-actualized perspective.

Bhakti Yoga is one of four yogas in the Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo, whose enlightened body of work has assisted my own healing work with the divine to consistently address everything from cancer to suicidal ideation and mental illness, deathbed cases, emotional trauma and more.

Bhakti 📿 has personally been a very key part of my inner work to ensure facilitation of divine healings.

Also a note: Devotion is about love, not power. It’s not about giving your power away to the Divine or to a guru or to anything outside of yourself (which we NEVER recommend).

Rather it’s aligning yourself energetically through the immense potency of unconditional love - which allows the divine to influence your life and draw you toward what breaks you through and evolves your soul… making your personal work less effort-ful.

RADICAL ACCEPTANCE: Do you ever feel that some part of you invariably resists the things you know would benefit you… or do you feel resistance to the really tough stuff you might be going through at the moment? 🤯

Radical acceptance could be the ironic key to breaking free. Radical acceptance is a distress tolerance skill from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) designed to prevent pain from turning into suffering. It essentially helps us embrace reality, even when it's tough. 🙌

By letting go of the fight against unchangeable circumstances, you can actually improve emotional regulation, build better coping skills, and experience greater well-being. And THAT puts you back into the driver’s seat to create meaningful change.

And don’t worry, radical acceptance does NOT mean you approve of a situation or that you’re bypassing or gaslighting yourself.
