feeling that MOUNTAIN MOON MAGIC
THIS WEEK @ELEVATE ACUPUNCTURE
Making space for the solar plexus as fall’s close calls for some inspiring energy.
Maintenance Monday
What are you doing to keep well this season of transition?
for many a combination of fall and an eclipse season is enough to derail
I recently finished my first required reading for my HYTT certification and would recommend it to anyone looking to check in with yourself and start the year out with some positive perspective. I feel like it is my theme for 2023 and I am looking forward to where this spark leads.
This month I am focusing on GROUNDING and will be theming my energy and movement sessions around roots and balancing BEing present within ourselves and our communities. I am in great need of a check in myself before I can fully embark on the year ahead. I feel like we all could use a little healing and protection from negative energy in our homes so I look forward to sharing a few self~LOVE practices for our inner & outer spaces on Wellness Wednesdays.
I hope you are taking some time to look up at the sky and breath in that crisp birch moon energy.
That it inspires & enchants you to feel the magic.
Inhaling gratitude for all that has come before…exhaling anything you can let go of…BEginining again new~

I have been practicing planning my meals in the morning when I eat breakfast. It helps me fuel according to my schedule and my goals for the day so that I can operate efficiently. When I don’t do this, I often fuel reactively intaking foods that do not serve my system or BODYMIND needs.
My current favorite dessert to prep right away these days has been chai seed pudding. I have been making it in morning smoothie flavors
... today I mixed blueberries, banana, lemon, vanilla protein, & water w/my serving of chai seeds for a meringue treat later .
i am thinking of creating a sort of coconut flour/flax/avocado crust for this one in the future…
CHAI PUDDING
mOrniNG SmOOthiE
so simple & yummy…save a little cup of my morning smoothie and add 1/4 cup chai seeds for a creamy desert…
cool for at least an hour (or as long as you can)… it is better as the chai seeds expand and absorb the flavors. sprinkle w/cinnamon spice or dark chocolate for a little sweet later~
The energy we take feeds the energy we make so I have been trying to intentionally intergrade that mindset into my meal prep & practices _ _ _ X

…The last few days I have been working on a weekly list of groceries and personal self care items to avoid over shopping and waste as well as stopping daily on odds and ends. I have been trying to budget better and it is sometimes surprising how many consumables I could be more conscious of.

THE NEW mOOn & GROUNDING
I like to take some time on every new moon to do some grounding. A checkpoint between beginning and end of a spiral.
A new moon also gives us opportunity to be present with the shadow side. This seems amplified when we ALSO get to experience a solar eclipse revealing the darkside moon.
This particular combination could invite a deep dive into the depths of whatever might be holding you back. Practicing with the moon gives you a chance to check in regularly with your flow and make adjustments to support you on your journey. Perhaps an eclipse is that reminder moment to look at our path, sort out the shadows and shine light on what we may not have seen there before. This shifts can bring about big energy so it’s natural to feel off balance.
My opportunities in witness of any eclipse have always traslated as little reminders to look around. Those ‘oh yeah, & then there is magic all around us” moments. The universe plants that seed towards transformation.
google search reveals: A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, casting the Moon's shadow on Earth. A solar eclipse can only happen during a New Moon.
Season of The Witch…
Season of Witches…
Witches night out was my favorite vibe. Many wonderful witches there were and wandering into fall with many new simple treasures and moon charged crystals from the MountainMoonMagic collections was a treat.
Newly conjured wire wrapped beauties and season inspired surprises made their debut. I think perhaps my favorite treasure that made it to market this time were the spOOky spiders…had to sneak these gems into the offering.
