It’s about gently returning, again and again, to your own beautiful spirit and your medicine bag of tools.
Greetings ,
As the earth finds its balance between day and night, so too can you return to your own center.
On this day of the equinox —a moment when light and dark are equal—we are invited to pause, reflect, and realign. The seasons offer us a gentle nudge to return to the practices that help us stay
grounded and clear, especially after the whirl of summer's energy!
Finding Your Balance
Have you noticed how easy it is to drift away from your center when life gets busy or uncertain? The equinox reminds you to return to what steadies you—nature, breath, and the simple act of noticing: Where am I out of balance? What do I need to release? What do I want to invite
in?
It’s not about striving for perfection. It’s about gently returning, again and again, to your own beautiful spirit and your medicine bag of tools. Whether that includes a morning walk, a grounding breath, a journey to find the answer to a question, or simply sitting with a tree, these small acts help you recalibrate.
Practice: Equinox Balancing Breath
Find a quiet
space where you can sit comfortably. Close your eyes and take three slow, deep breaths.
As you inhale, imagine drawing in light from the sky; as you exhale, release any heaviness into the earth.
With each breath, feel yourself coming into balance—light above, grounded below.
Repeat for several minutes, letting your breath guide you back to center. Feel how your body aligns with the light flowing into you!
When you’re ready, open your eyes and notice how your
energy has shifted.
This simple practice can be a touchstone whenever you feel off-kilter—especially as the seasons change and life asks you to adapt.
Energy Alchemy and Shamanic Healing: Support for Your Journey
Many of my regular clients are asking for help finding balance right now. That's no surprise, given the state of the
world!
Frankly, all of my shamanic colleagues and light worker friends have the same challenge. We are discovering that the crazier the world gets, the more focus and time we need to give to our practice. There's no more coasting on what you learned last year or last month. It's daily work: Breathing. Aligning. Reconnecting with mountains and rivers, trees and wild creatures. Finding presence. Eating the heavy energy of the world. Loving what is. Just
being.
Working Together
When you work with me and my spirit helpers, we re-mind you how to align and rebalance, like connecting with the four directions and the elements, before we do anything else! That's because connection is essential for receptivity.
Then we address your questions, your heart longings, and
whatever is getting in your way by journeying with my spirit helpers to find guidance and support. They always offer steps you can take and focus on whatever you need right now. I draw on my long practice to nudge and suggest and explain, so you go away with practical, simple, profound ways to keep shifting your energy towards the results you want.
If you know you can work on your own and just need a nudge, here it is: return to the book, re-mind yourself what works, or try one of the 84 practices. Either way, do it! Don't put it off!

What Others Are Saying
“I learned in Energy Alchemy that I have clarity when I am in alignment with Source. I am connected to all the energy around and coming to me. I can let it pass through me and not let it grab a hook into my heart, or not. Stress is an indicator that I'm off course and disconnected. I loved the damage control practices you taught us.” ~Nancy B.
As
always, I’d love to hear how you’re returning to balance this equinox, or what practices support you most. Your stories and questions are always welcome—just reply to this email.
And an apology: my website has apparently been down and unavailable frequently during the last two months. I just found out, and can't get any information from the host about what went wrong. Anyway it is working now. Keeping my fingers crossed—an important technological response to a technical
problem, don't you think?
