dream dive - float
the power of laying low has been potent during tis moon cycle. i often go to a hermit place to rest and recover and reflect and this moon in particular has been calling for that in a way that feels excitingly revitalizing, compassionate and nourishing. how is your full moon in Cancer weekend feeling for you?
i have been swimming, drinking my sage tea and reflecting on sweetness with self, ease and undoing urgency and have been asking - what will the next day, week, month, year, years look like if undo urgency in my day to day tasks and my work tasks - while making sure that i connect even more deeply to the joy and purpose of why i make the work that i feel drawn to make.
i notice little things around the house that happen in rushed moments- moments where i don’t even realize that i am rushing. a stubbed toe, a cactus getting knocked over and one of it’s pins going into my index finger - and realizing, woah, i was moving so fast in that moment? why?
here is a still from a video a friend took of me floating in the ocean. i am unable to upload video onto substack at the moment but wanted to share this moment of joy i felt floating in deep waters - every float feels like a release where i learn more about how to approach my conversations with myself, the ocean the universe and the environments around me.
in what ways do you float in water and during the day to day?
my friend and i also saw a turtle swimming by us on this day which felt so magic and supportive of ease and a reminder to reflect on waters connection to the ancient and ancestral lineage. what ancient do i need to look at within and retrieve and connect with. how can looking at myself in the mirror support this? whether it is the mirror that is the ocean or a mirror in my home?

for herbal support this week i have been leaning into sage and rosewater tea! i learned the recipe from a friend while visiting LA last month and it has been wonderful to reconnect with the energy of sage. i also had the opportunity to go by a friends garden and harvest pozo blue sage, black sage and mugwort and have been feeling really supported by these plant medicines - by simply having them around in my home.
Thank you for reading <3
