How to extract your energy ​from the painful past.

Extract your energy ​from the painful past.

This is the most powerful, creative, ENERGIZING, stabilizing move that you can make in your life.
 
Yes there is pain to heal in present-tense. 
 
Past events create emotions that circulate in our minds and energy field. We have to tend to those emotions with total compassion—the fear, anxiety, grief that are the results of what happened… give those energies all grace and good care.
 
But as for the memories of the stressful events…
the mental replays of the incidents… 
the rumination on the suffering that is robbing you of creating life force… we can break the habitual recall.
 
​I​f your past ​i​s haunting you, ​walk in the other direction.
 
​Starve the hungry ghost so that the ghost can cross over and find peace.


Here’s how to extract your energy ​from the past: 

  1. Understand that conflict ​f​eeds on attention. ​When we feed the painful past with our attention, we are not healing. (And yes this may have us question the merits of some types of ongoing talk therapy and other psycho-spiritual modalities.)
     
  2. When the painful past memory surfaces:

    a. Do NOT criticize yourself for thinking about it. We just lovingly notice, “I’m thinking about that incident.” Then…

    b. THINK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE—SOMETHING UP-LIFTING.

    I repeat: think about something else that’s uplifting energizing. Something beautiful, comforting, positively energizing. Hum if you need to. Notice what’s in the room you’re sitting in. Think of anything else (positive) to extract your energy from the past. Think about the future if that helps.

    Interrupt the painful inner dialogue mid-sentence. You may feel like you’re being rude to your wounded, or pissed-off self. This is not cruelty. This is leadership.

    ^^^ This is spiritual warriorship and mind-training and the path to liberation. This is Queen + King consciousness.

    ^^^ This is how we use our mind to clear up karma and dissolve habituated thinking. Every time we extract our energy ​from the past, we are un-dulling the mind. Everytime you think about something that is *not the past* you are becoming more conscious and creative.

    ^^^ This is the life changing, creative power of CHANGING YOUR MIND.

A handy visual: It’s as if the past is a fire and you’re deciding not to add more wood on the fire. Don’t add the thought… the wood to the fire of the painful past. Then the pain calms down.

This we know: Energy flows where your attention goes.
 
You don’t have to​ play the same game over and over. (Unless you want to—the mind and the Inner Child find replaying pain familiar and comforting. You need to help them heal.)
 
You do NOT have to recapitulate or review your past in order to make progress.
 
Celebrate knowing better. That’s it. The victory is that you know better now! You’ve moved on. You’re here now.
 
You can make decisions from Presence. 
 
Don’t have meltdowns and fights with old memories. It’s a waste of energy.
 
When you extract your energy from the past you will be forming new neural pathways. There’s a heap of research to prove this. And those NEW neural pathways ​will transform how you think, ​what you say, how you move​ through the world.
K, quick review to sum up centuries of mortal coil and enlightenment teachings:
 
When a painful past memory surfaces, whatchya gonna do?
 
Think about something else that’s uplifting. 
 
And what’s going to happen?
 
Something better.
 
 
I love you,

You do not have to take care of your Soul

Sweet friend,
 
I have a reframe that might be comforting and empowering. It has to do with our Souls, your Soul. 
 
It’s this:
 
You do not take care of your Soul.
Your Soul takes care of you.
 
There’s no “hole in your Soul.” That rhymes, it’s a great lyric. But your Soul cannot be wounded, hurt, bothered, destroyed, harmed, confused, or annihilated.
 
The personality—a construct of the mind—is what perceives itself to be hurt, bothered, separate, etc…
 
The Soul is VAST. Eternal. It’s the source point. It permeates all space and time.
 
Every wisdom tradition has distinct but interchangeable terms for Soul:
 
Higher Self. Higher Consciousness. Witness Consciousness. Christ Consciousness. Buddha Nature. God Self. Divine Self. Heart. Atman. Pure Awareness. Prana. Chi. Ka. True Nature. Inner Most Light…
 
You do not take care of your Soul.
 
Your Soul takes care of you.
 
With Love,
FOR ALIGNMENT:

13 QUESTIONS FOR DEEPER SELF HONESTY (and an invite)

Sweet Friend,

The relationship we have with ourselves directs the quality of our entire lives. In every department. Always. And YET, even with all the talk therapy, we might not see how we are relating to ourselves.

You could do a rapid fire and see what pops up (first thoughts can tell us a lot.) Or you could unpack one a day, savoured. I’ve got a lot of flights coming up, so I’ve put the questions on my phone and I’m going to journal on the plane.

NOTE: These questions are asking HOW YOU THINK OR ACT—not *why* you think or act in certain ways.

For example, with the questions “How do you hate yourself?” and “How do you love yourself?”… you’re not writing about the reasons that you hate or love yourself. You’re noticing the ways you think, speak, act out your self hatred and self love. Don’t get pulled into analyzing why you do what you do—just witness, with compassion. You’re making BEHAVIOUR OBSERVATIONS.

13 QUESTIONS FOR DEEPER SELF HONESTY

Everything is open to your interpretation.

1. How do you respect yourself?

2. How do you honour yourself?

3. How do you intentionally embrace the shadowy aspects of yourself?

4. How do you love yourself?

5. How do you hate yourself?

6. How do you berate yourself?

7. How do you let yourself down?

8. How do you qualify success and failure?

9. What virtues + values do you emphasize in yourself?

10. What qualities do you embody?

11. Do your thoughts, words and actions match each other?

12. How many ways do you harm yourself?

13. What old, habitual tendencies are you willing to dissolve?

You’re invited to…

PUBLISH—an insider session for content creators + marketers of all kinds

I’m in NYC this week to meet with my new publisher, Author’s Equity. And I’m heading into another mastermind with creators—course makers, journalists, cook book authors, communication specialists, mega sellers, online teachers. Communicating is my favourite.

My second favorite thing is helping people figure out how to communicate for a living. Writing. Publishing. Not publishing. Repurposing. Your programs. Your karma. The deals. The fine print. The AI. Your why. The how. I have so much to teach you.

And I have VERY current intel.

Okay love, I’m streaming you joy and faith from a very tiny hotel room in mid-town NYC.

Social media rage and judgement.
But like, loving about it. 😂

Loves,

If I asked 10 of my friends who are creating content as part of their business—some who are making millions in revenue, some of whom are laying off staff… most (not all) of them would say they are exhausted by the game. Pooped right out of the hustle.

Our DMs and vms sound like this:

FAWK THE ALGO. What the f*ck is happening to my following?
I’m soooo tired of posting. It’s so noisy.
I just want to make my stuff. I make gooooood stuff.
Please buy my gooood stuff. It’s good for you.

THERE ARE 3 KINDS OF CREATORS WHO ARE ONLINE

(This may be an over generalization.)

1. Creators who make on and off-line offerings—books, products, art of many forms, courses, retreats, things you can attend or things you can own and hold. These are Creators who have to create content in order to sell their creation.

They use social media to inspire and sell, sell and inspire. It’s a siege-like, unending cycle. They really wish a publisher or retailer would give them a fair profit share and do the heavy lifting for them of marketing and distribution. Or a juggernaut celeb would share their stuff and the orders would fly in.

This longing is mostly nostalgic and naïve.

2. Creators who create content to monetize the content. The family accounts, the couples giving advice, the make-up tutorials. The proverbial influencer. They get their followings up and they get sponsors and affiliate kick backs. They inform, inspire, or entertain, and they get paid.

AI is threatening these kinds of content creators because the robot can out-fake and out-produce them.

One of my friends in the wellness space—a reputable medical professional, says that they’re getting approached by more brands to sponsor them, because the brands are seeing that consumers are less trusting of “influencers.” People want to buy from real people with earned authority and cred.

3. People who have turned their personal lives into content for visibility and connection. I’m really concerned about this way of life. The sad irony here is that the addiction to performative relating is preventing the genuine connection that we all crave.

4. And a subcategory (I am not worried for these folks,) people who are sharing their lives with an online community because it’s a fun way to connect—and that’s the beauty of the global nervous system that we call the internet.

I write. I make a planner system you can hold. I teach within community. Instagram etc etc etc helps my team and me make a living and be philanthropic when it’s all gliding. I love the connectivity. I feel useful. It keeps me in touch with my community. I love eating up the beauty that I’m exposed to.

And! Social media makes my authority issues rage. Because the algorithm is a manipulative, controlling, muthr fkr of greed and propaganda.

How to stay sane in the social media circus?

There’s one question I ask of everything:

What’s the energy in this?

That’s it.

It’s ALL ENERGY WORK, MY FRIENDS!

You can feel if you’re being manipulated. You can smell desperation.

And you relax and lean in when there’s loving intention.

The complexity is not robots and fake followers. It’s that we all have mixed motivations. We are all serving up a cocktail of energies.

We’re serving and we’re selling. We’re healing and we’re profiting. We want to be noticed, and we want to be supportive.

Stay gentle AND discerning.

See it all with the eyes of love, babe. The eyes of love.

Because…

WE ARE ALL CRAVING TO BE SEEN, HEARD AND LOVED.

No exceptions. The writers. The preachers. The eyeshadow experts and the activists.

And I hope you’ll buy my planner—because it’s good for you.

WITH LOVE,

IT’S EQUINOX THIS MONTH!

AUGUST 21, 2026

The danger of neutrality, and some road trip protest songs

Hello friend,
 
I’m just back from Nashville for business, and a road trip with my kid in Quebec into Ontario. 
 
Harper and I were peeling down the 401 in his pickup, talking about how a mold outbreak in his apartment turned out to be a blessing. (Note: mold in two of my homes did me dirty, and it took me 3 years to get my health back, so this is a hot topic.) 
 
Because of the health hazard, Harper was able to get out of a year-long lease on the same day that he found a rad pad three times the size, in a great neighbourhood, for only $30 more a month. 
 
“Thank f*ck for the mold!” Yes.
Which got us critiquing the old story about the farmer and his “good luck/bad luck.” 
 
Do you know this one?:
An old farmer’s horse runs away, so Farmer can’t work his crops any longer. The neighbors say: “Such bad luck!” The farmer says, “Maybe.”
 
The horse comes back, bringing with it three wild horses. The neighbors say, “Such good luck!” The farmer says, “Maybe.”
 
The farmer’s son gets thrown off one of the horses and breaks his leg. The neighbors say, “Such bad luck!” The farmer says, “Maybe.”
 
Soon after, the army comes to conscript young village men for war. Because of his broken leg, the son got passed over. The neighbors say, “Such good luck!” The farmer says, “Maybe.”
Obviously, this is a lesson in neutrality and detachment—both of which are healthy human behaviours the world could use more of.
 
But… this story always left me anxious about when the good luck might turn into bad luck. I think, ultimately, Mr. Farmer missed a big op for joy.

Impartiality is the opposite of passion.
I choose passion.

The “could be good, could be bad,” posture stops us from craning to find the beauty. In my experience, the beauty is always there, and having to dig for it is radiance-building.
 
The “could be good, could be bad,” approach can trigger fear and tamp down happiness.
 
Could it all go south? Possibly. Is it all fun? No. 
 
But…
 
Is it ALL Divine? YES—if you dig deep enough.
 
Is it all Divine no matter what? YES—if you dig deep enough.
 
Even the worst stuff? YES—if you dig deep enough.
 
The dig to find the Divine is the transmutational act. It can take years to tap gold. But it’s ever present.
 
This is the teaching of all mystics: that the function of suffering is to return us to the ecstacy of the Divine.
 
The “could be good, could be bad” thought form can delay the ecstasy available to us.
 
……
 
I’ve tried to neutralize my longings for sacred union and unfleeting beauty. It didn’t work. I relent to passion.
 
I want to dig deep enough to find the Light. Every time, no matter what.
 
……
 
So when the love runs away, or the toxins spread; when anxiety flares, or the fire takes it all, whatchya gonna do?
 
Dig deep enough to find the Divinity in it—the beauty, the possible utility. Do it as soon as you can. You can train your mind to respond like this, without hesitation.
 
Go full on beauty hound.
 
When the crops cash in, when the love comes, when the Joy is revealed—immediately and passionately appreciate it. None of this “Could be good, could be bad,” slightly hedgy prognosticative cool stuff.
 
Practice decisive passion over impartiality.
 
It’s the choice to let the “bad” be of benefit—even when it’s not apparent. And to let the good be incredible.
TUNES
 

When it comes to road trip music, we play to win. Kendrick Lamar, Steve Lacey and Meat Puppets made an appearance, but these are mama-endorsed for singing with all you’ve got:

1. Jesse Wells, Masks Off — best protest album in a long time
2. Daniel Caesar, Best Part (featuring H.E.R.) — sexiest sexy
3. The Wood Brothers, Sing About It — “sing and it passes”
4. The Tragically Hip, Bobcageon — if you’re Canadian, you know
5. Glen Hansard, Love Don’t Leave Me Waiting — troubadour supreme

GET ENERGIZED
 
Centered Planners are in the shop now! I know, it’s AUGUST. But once you get your planner, I bring you into an ecosystem of support and fun intel. Energetics of the week, planning with the planets…so good. SEE THE SHOP.
 
I’m so glad you’re here.
 
With Love,

Emotions + Detoxing

Hello, Love.
 
Today I want to talk about:
 
a) losing your identity in order to find out who you truly are.
b) following my intuition + an invite to be a Planner VIP this Sunday.
 
NOT BEING ABLE TO BE YOURSELF SO THAT YOU CAN, CONSEQUENTLY, COME BACK TO YOURSELF
 
The spiritual path is a home coming—doors within doors leading us to our truer and truer self. The doorways become more narrow as we progress. We have to keep shedding so we can fit through each portal—stripped down of stuff and identities. 
 
The re-shaping can happen from the process of failure and fakery. From being denied what we want the most. From becoming the opposite of who we naturally are. 
 
You know the process—when you escape, molt, then rise in your liberation and look back and think, “What WAS I thinking?”
 
And YET! The what-who that we get back to was always there in this very lifetime. Life keeps us from our essence and then returns us to it. We’re all prodigal children being welcomed back, getting to be who we are.

So today’s question:
Who were you 
before you left yourself?

Okay, pivot!
 
PERSONAL update on the release of the Centered Planners… this Sunday, August 16 I’m doing a VIP launch. 52,000 people are on the list and that’s thrilling for obvious reasons. 
 
But it’s deeper than sales. I’ve always said that the Planner system is my most useful offering. Because it’s a support system for DAILY DEVOTION. Books and classes are like solar flares—they bring flashes of insight. But the planners are like a campfire that keeps you warm every day.
 
I stopped doing the planner a few years ago because my intuition told me to. My team thought I was losing my mind. Planners were a big part of our business. But I had a feeling. “Something doesn’t feel right anymore, we have to pause.”
 
That was the 2020 edition. Remember what happened to the world in 2020? Whacky town. Global supply chain disruptions. Shipping containers stuck on the ocean for months. If I would have printed planners that year, we would have had thousands of “spoiled” planners adrift. NOT making them saved my business. Intuition FTW.
 
I refined the planner system, revived my collaboration with painter, Marta Spendowska, and it all rolls out on Sunday!
 
MORE USEFUL AND BEAUTIFUL than ever.
Please click here to get on the VIP list and we’ll send you a pop up link tomorrow. I’m doing a gift day for 24 hours—you get a stationery pack—my truthbomb cards, in print, old school, with every planner order! There’s a lot of revival happening!
 
I’ll drop the planner features in at the bottom of this email. 
 
This system helps me orchestrate my life + work. I love it and I really hope you give it a go. There’s nothing else out there like this.
 
Ok, love. Remember: all journeys are leading home—INWARD. To your original essence. The Eternal Hello.
 
And VIP list is HERE and full of goodness for you.
 
WITH LOVE,

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE CENTERED PLANNER SYSTEM:

AUGUST 7, 2026

Your unmet longings are not a punishment.

Hi, Love…
 
At the end of interviews people often get asked, “What’s the one message you have for the world?” No pressure. 
 
I used to inner eye-roll at this question. But I just nailed my winning answer and now I hope I get asked in the next interview and the next.
 
Here’s my billboard to humanity:

Your unmet longings are not a punishment.

Darling… your unmet longings are not a punishment.
 
Our unmet longings are many things. Divine delays. Dares. Beautiful karma. Eggs. Seedlings.
 
But… and…
 
Do not abandon your longings without understanding them.
 
(That could be my back up billboard to humanity.)
 
You know, I’ve been analyzing the nature of desire for a long time. And I’ve had deep struggles with monk-considerations, house holder life, Netflix and chillin’, loving hot love, abundance, the lonelies, the scriptures, the cleansing, the dancing, the down dogs, and all the training I’ve done to circumnavigate downward spirals.
 
But I’ve recently slipped out of whatever that portal was—let’s call it my former frame of consciousness. Just like a baby after a three-year labour. Like Neo getting ejected from his goo pod of illusion.
And here’s what I got: Joy down in my Soul.
 
And I no longer see my unmet longings—of which there are a sacred few—as a punishment, as a withholding that a darker side of life was able to enforce.
 
But compassion for our human desires is what makes this life holy. 
 
I’ve come right ‘round to cherishing my desires with a fierce grace.
 
I’m on Team William Blake:
 
“Those who restrain their desire do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained.”
 
We are the living proof that Love is actually unstoppable. 
 
With Love,
NEW, HOT AND INCOMING
 
I have all new gorgeous designs for the 2027 Centered Planner Collection coming THIS WEEKEND. And VIPs are getting lavished with papery gifts this year. And this planner system is where soulful meets utility. So…
 
 
…and you’ll be the first to see the big reveal this Sunday. Swoon day.
 
The Centered Planner. Every day is sacred.

Goddess Hathor, non-duality and high vibes new music!

Hi friend…
 
I’m about to go summer trippin’. Nashville for an author’s mastermind with James-Atomic Habits-Clear. I’ll be staying with my old time loves, Kate Northrup + Mike Watts, snort laughing and crying. And podcasting. 
 
Then a short flight to Montreal for kid time, and we drive his pickup (windows down, music cranked—almost in total agreement on playlists), heading to my dad’s in Ontario for constant cringe jokes, Lake Erie swims and tomatoes that taste like tomatoes should. 
 
So let’s do a tasting board today…

Mercury retrograde has gone direct, but here’s a pointer about the “post-retrograde shadow.”

NEW MUSIC!
 
Send the signal, find your people. My sweet friends, Beautiful Chorus, just dropped their most uptempo album ever: HUMAN BEING. I’m only doing positive lyrics these days. Heart break or lonesome blues? SKIP. You can mooove to this whole album. I play it on repeat when I leave my apartment so their royalties add up.
 
Marieme—is unity consciousness with a POWER VOICE—fiery invite to live bigger.
 
Aukai—is the hot husband in the duo known as Mirabai Cieba. I find a lot of mantra, dream-scape music too emotional and gooey—not clean energy. But for me, Aukai is good vibes. Play on repeat after sundown.
READ ON BUILDING NEW HUMANITY
 
Sound healing, your ka (spirit body), and how the auric field works. This is channelled material (which I usually steer clear of,) but I loved this intel. Tom also wrote The Magdalen Manuscript: The Alchemies of Horus & the Sex Magic of Isis.
 
I’m bringing a group to Egypt on a pilgrimage May 11 to 24. There are three goddess temples that are part of the journey: Isis, Sekhmet, and Hathor. All the women on the trip usually identify strongly with one of those goddesses. I’m Team Hathor! She is the Goddess of Divine Love, Beauty and Joy. I had the most incredible experience at her temple (Temple of Dendera.)
 
The trip is more than half full. We have a payment plan that you can spread over a year. HIT REPLY if you want to talk about coming!
JACKPOT WISDOM TEACHING
 
I love Rupert Spira’s work. Glistening clear. This short clip on non-dualism and spiritual bypassing IS JACKPOT WISDOM. 
 
This is IT, my loves. You can be a hot mess and still touch transcendence! You don’t have to clean it all up and be a monk to “arrive”. Surrender and self compassion is the Buddha honey zone. And from there we can do the deep cleanse of personality issues and pain. 
 
This is my current experience: being holy is loving all of my various “conditions” AND my power FULLY, TODAY. As is. xoxoxoxoxo! Exhale. Life is so beautiful.
FOR MY VANCOUVER LOCALS
 
I’m doing a training program at Denman Athletics. Personal training in pods of 5 people. Quality humans, it’s not a spandex pick up show with everyone on their phones (nothin’ against getting hit on at the gym, but…) Focused, caring, profesh. And if a gym can get me excited to show up…that’s a 10 star review! Tell Aimee I sent you.

Acceptance, a story about debt and compassion

Hello Loves,
 
I’ve got a quick story for you about debt—which is really about Acceptance. Note the capital A. 
 
I’m talking about the virtue of Acceptance, a high vibration state. Not the “little acceptance” that’s about acting like we’re going with the flow when we’re actually terrified, or the acceptance we grant when people finally behave that way we want them to.
 
Big Acceptance is a form of life mastery. When you get in the practice of not resisting what’s occurring, your cortisol levels drop and you build creative energy.
 
Acceptance is a very compassionate and productive way to live.

My fave mural in Vancouver. My fave new café, Sud. And huggers be huggin’. We hugged.

Okay, the story (I share some of this in Bless & Release)
 
I had a friend in a heap of debt. They owed taxes and family loans, and their credit cards were maxed. So stressful. 
 
Shame had them in a headlock so they couldn’t look at the bills or calculate what they owed. It got so insufferable that they—very wisely—got themselves in a debtors’ support program and made an Excel sheet, documented their debt and made a plan to chip away at it. 
 
But two things held them back. 
 
First, they were in such a state of self-loathing that doing what needed to be done felt like a punishment. The Excel sheet was more of a sh*t list than a freedom plan.
 
Second, they were fixated on getting out of debt. But wasn’t that the point? Shouldn’t they be obsessed with getting out of debt? No. 
 
The debt needed to stop being the main character in their story. They needed to no longer see themselves foremost as “someone in debt.” It would have been much more helpful to declare that they were now very focused on building their wealth. 
 
Things actually got worse before they got better. There was more negative self-talk (a very long habit), and spending and avoidance. 
 
Finally, at the end of the rope and credit lines, my friend had no choice but to resort to radical Acceptance. Their words were, “F*ck it! I just gotta love myself and do this.” 
 
Yessss. Acceptance across the board. The behaviours that got them there—Accepted. The existence of karma—Accepted. The presence of God and inner light and resilience—Accepted. The dream of an abundant life—Accepted. The doubt and fears? Also Accepted!
 
They blessed their mess, stopped hating themselves for getting into it, and did the work to clean it up. Facing the debt—and everything that was a part of it, became a portal to self-respect and freedom. As all challenges do when we stop resisting them.

If our “healing” or “growth” methodology lacks self-compassion, we won’t move beyond our old behaviour.

It’s Love, not fear, that heals everything—including debt and the shame and fear around it.

Here’s a quick Acceptance audit: Are you using self-criticism and rejection as your motivator?
 
There was a period in my life when I self-criticised my way through meditation. It made me miserable. Duh. So I took a long hiatus from meditating. Eventually, I got really soft and sweet with myself about all of my weirdness around it. Showing up, not showing up. Shame, devotion. All of it. I just loved myself for being the way I was with the practice and my life and my fears. Then I got back to meditating and the rewards of that started to grow. 
 
Maybe we don’t need to ditch the methodology. Maybe we just need to bring more self-compassion to it. 
 
Be softer with getting out of debt, getting in shape, getting closer to the person we want to be close to.
 
Maybe this is the most relatable definition of the virtue of Acceptance: Be softer with the behaviours that got you to the place that you want to move on from. 
 
This works too: 
 
F*ck it! You just gotta love yourself and do this.

Ocean swim almost every morning. Aqua prayers! And notes for upcoming classes.

CUES FOR HEALING FROM RELATIONSHIP LOSS

Hello, Love,
 
I’m feeling extra introspective right now. Mercury Retrograde is clean up vibes. So let’s talk about healing. Healing from break ups, specifically, but this can apply to many kinds of loss, shock and hurdles.
 
If you want to catch up on this series… read about relationships + cosmology
 
Or some of my life challenges of the last three years (fun! 😂) that have led to so much healing.
CUES FOR HEALING FROM RELATIONSHIP LOSS
There’s a terrible AI trend happening called “divorce glow up.” Don’t fall for it, it’s mostly AI-generated videos of shlumpy men and women who leave their presumably neglectful spouses, and then start going to the gym, the tanning bed, and finally get the right hair cut.
 
Et voila! Shlumpy divorcé transforms into hot babe. And presumably, old spouse has much to regret. It’s the revenge glow up.
 
But the best glows up will happen naturally, and revenge will have nothing to do with it.
I HEALED BECAUSE I STOPPED AVOIDING GRIEVING.
I tried to avoid grief. I was like, “I’m going to be one of those chicks that moves ON. Why NOT jump into a thing with that guy who I’d totally compromise on?! Don’t I deserve a big… bandaid?!”
 
Except… no. That’s not my style. With 4 planets in Virgo + Libra Rising I like things clean and harmonious.
 
The reality was that I was in deep shock that, even though we were so committed, my partner and I couldn’t save things. And by that I mean, I was gutted that my love was not the miracle substance I wanted it to be. Failure. At love. Of all things.
 
Following Higher Guidance meant sacrificing the dream.
 
Someone asked me, “You weren’t together very long, so why the big grief?” Ahem. Clearly they did *not* know me, because when I love, I am OBVIOUSLY ALL IN. Geez. And besides, time does *not* direct the current of Love. Love bends time.
I HEALED BECAUSE I LET MYSELF BE THE NEEDY FRIEND.
I let myself ask for validation from some people, even though it felt inappropriate and weak.
 
Lonnnng voice memos, like personal grief podcasts to Christine. I was too much in need to even ask how she was doing most of the time. “Hi. It’s me. Please tell me I’m doing the right thing. ASAP. Thank youuuuu.” She was my lighthouse.
 
Chela and I talked on the phone for FIVE hours straight one day. I sobbed, she witnessed. All while we unloaded our dishwashers and made dinner and went for walks.
 
I asked Sukhi to do her work on me: a bit of cacao and a microdose of mushrooms, while we did deep verbal processing. I don’t micro dose anything, so this was a leap—and it was one of the turning points in my healing.
 
Joshua and I walked laps around the lagoon every week. Laps talking about spiritual teaching. Laps in silence.
I REPRIORITIZED MY BODY.
I shed 25 pounds. I talk about that in this post, How I got my body back. (This partially had to do with getting out of a moldy living space and doing a major mold and metals detox.) I started painting my nails again (with an eco-friendly brand.) I started dancing again.
 
And BTW, my hair stopped going grey so quickly. In the final year of the relationship, it was coming in crazy fast. Once the grief subsided, I saw that the same silver strands were growing in as brunette again. Huberman pod (I’ll link below) talks about greying reversal as it relates to stress.
 
I called my naturopath to run labs on my hormones and check my supplements, because I was feeling anxious. Spiritually, I felt resilient, but I could tell that the anxiety was biochemical—and when you know that, it becomes much easier to work with it.
MY MANTRA WAS: KEEP STEPPING FORWARD.
The universe sent me cues to face forward. It was the week in which I knew we’d be having the conclusion conversation. My heart was raw. This all happened that same week:
 
I got a text from a matchmaker who met me four years ago, before I got into my relationship. “Danielle, I’ve got a gentleman in LA I’d like you to meet, are you still single?”
 
A new male friend (married) asked me for lunch to talk business and life. I was emotionally spent when we met up, so when he asked how I was, I fell apart. Turns out he runs men’s groups and works with couples. He was the best confidant I could have asked for that day.
 
Another male friend who I hadn’t talked to in ten years messaged, “How you doin’ doll?!”
 
Another male friend who I hadn’t talked to in MORE than ten years rang, “Just wanted to hear that voice again.”
 
The Divine Masculine was reminding me of my Divine Femininity. It gave me strength. I knew both my partner and I would be held as we parted.
I LET GO OF A LOT OF PHYSICAL THINGS—VERY QUICKLY.
Letting go of material things is usually pretty easy for me, but this was ceremonial self compassion. I did it with grace—that was KEY. I wasn’t hammering trinkets and tearing up love letters in fits of rage. I was blessing & releasing. Clothes, objects that had painful associations. I closed shared subscriptions, deleted playlists.
 
Because I removed it all with the highest intention for both of us, the stuff management was a form of pain management.
I DID WRITE + BURNS EVERY WEEK
I didn’t wait for a Full Moon or New Moon, I did write + burns and salty baths A LOT, 2 or 3 times a week. Cranked the mantra, wrote the release, incanted hard when I lit the pages, prayed in the bath, rinsed with love. For me, this is better than months of therapy—working at the energy level.
I DID THE CENTERING PRACTICE LIKE IT WAS MY JOB
I did The Centering Practice in every possible variation. Seated in lotus. Walking in the forest. Breathing into my heart center, seeing the full light spectrum. For a minute when I felt anxiety, many times a day. For 21 minutes working with the frequency of indigo light (cleansing!) For the past pain and for future pleasure.
 
This was everything, really. This is the energy work. This is the morning meditation. This is the anxiety dissolver and the hope-generator. This is the bridge to Higher Self.
 
The Centering Practice is glow up technology.
 
And this is a beautiful segue to…
 
The Centering Practice. It’s here for you (always free).
 
If you want me to walk you through it, I’m doing it live on Sunday, July 19 (it’s free.)

GET CENTERED
With The Centering Practice
 
Sunday, July 19
9am PT | 12pm ET
Always free. Live. Together.
 
You bring ONE thing you’ve been carrying, and we’ll work with it.
I’ll send you prep notes, and The Centering Practice is yours. Use it daily.
 
Can’t be there live with me? I’ll send you the replay. But if you can be in the room, be in the room.
 
This is one practice that can actually change everything.
For all the kinds of heartache and loss, I wish you deep healing, merciful healing.
 
I wish you transformation.
 
I hope you see the Divine Plan and expand.
 
We heal all the time.
 
WITH LOVE,

BE THE LEADER
