    Can Meditation Help with Healing?

    There are so many tools for emotional healing, but one that often gets an eye roll? Meditation. I get it—it’s not always the easiest to embrace. But I want to talk about why it’s so powerful. Let’s talk about how meditation helps with healing.

    For most people, meditation brings up a vision of someone sitting cross-legged and chanting. That can be one way to meditate.

    But, meditation is so much more than that. At it’s core, it’s about being present, whether through guided meditations, breath work, or even mindful movement. Our minds tend to jump from one thought to the next, often reinforcing fears or self-doubt. Meditation helps quiet that noise, grounding us in the here and now.

    And it’s a practice—meaning there’s no “failing” at it. If your mind wanders, you just bring it back. Whether through focused breathing, walking in nature, or a guided meditation, the goal is the same: presence. And the consistent practice of presence changes everything.

  • Embracing New Beginnings on the Path to Emotional Healing

    Embracing New Beginnings on the Path to Emotional Healing

    The following is a direct transcript of the video.

    I want to share something with you a little different today. So I’m not going to get into the whole history of this for myself, but I have gotten back into a practice of trying to pull Oracle cards whenever I’m feeling like I’m a little disorganized, a little distracted, which has been a lot lately, and I wanted to share it with you today.

    If this is something that you enjoy, definitely let me know in the comments. I might do a little bit more of it. If it’s something you don’t enjoy, that’s perfectly okay. Feel free to scroll by. But I’m going to encourage you to consider this as just a sign to take a step back, take some deep breaths, connect with yourself, connect with me, connect with the community.

    So the deck that I pulled from today is the native spirit deck from Denise Linn. This is a really beautiful deck. She’s part of the Cherokee nation and I just really love it and there’s a lot more I’d like to say about it but I don’t want this to be too long.

    So spirit keeper of the east…so I’m gonna read to you just kind of briefly the message from this card. There’s more that this book goes into with it, but again, I’m trying to keep it a little bit brief. So I’m just going to read the first part to share with you. So if you can, maybe close your eyes and just breathe naturally but fully, and just notice what comes up for you, okay?

    “New beginnings. A fresh cycle is occurring in your life. Wipe the slate clean. It’s now time to release the old and start again. No matter what has happened in the past, it doesn’t need to repeat in the future.”

    And in the East, and the book goes into this a little bit, but the East is where the sun rises. It’s a new day, right? So just kind of let yourself continue to breathe into that. Let the energy of this message come, just land within, and notice the energy that it brings. Really breathing into it.

    Stay here as long as you’d like. Just notice what came up for you. Notice what you’re feeling, where your mind went. I’d love to hear from you. What did you notice coming up? Did you like this? Was it something that you would like to continue to connect with? I have several decks that I pull from.

    Some of them have much longer meanings than others, but I’d love to hear from you. Share in the comments.
