7 Ways to Celebrate Beltane
Happy Beltane (also known as May Day) - we are halfway between the spring equinox and summer solstice! ☀️
Traditionally this day has been celebrated to welcome fertility, flowering, abundance and the alignment of male and female energies. If you set an intention at the beginning of the year, then planted the seeds for it around the Spring Equinox, now is the time to take action so that your vision can fully blossom into reality!
Some ways to celebrate this weekend:
BLOSSOM & BLOOM. Gift yourself or a friend with flowers, deliver a bouquet to a friend in need or to a local nursing home or make a floral mandala with collected fallen blooms.
FIRE POWER. Get lit! Gaze upon the flame of a candle or gather around a fire pit. Check out this post about working with fire element for more ideas!
HERBAL INDULGENCE. Make lavender or rose lemonade or tea, add fresh thyme or basil to your food, cleanse your space with sage or rosemary.
CLEANSE. You know I’m all about a ritual bath! Add Epsom and pink salts, some feminine floral-inspired essential oils like gardenia, jasmine, ylang ylang, lavender and magnolia, rose quartz tumbles and flower petals for a celebratory self-care session.
NATURE. Enjoy nature by taking a mindful walk and noticing all of the sights and sounds - birds chirping, bunnies bouncing.
CELEBRATE. Harness the good vibes of this time of year by cooking a beautiful meal, picnicking in the park, or singing or dancing with friends.
CRYSTAL MAGIC. Work with crystals that will help support and amplify the energies you're working with - such as amazonite to help balance masculine and feminine energies or fire quartz to add a boost of clarity and energy to your action steps.
Top L to R: fire quartz, blue apatite, amber, snowflake obsidian, emerald, rainbow fluorite, amazonite, carnelian, charoite, opalite, moss agate, Tiger Eye

New Year Sweetness
- Gather your supplies. You'll need a large bowl filled halfway with water and 4-12 de-stemmed blooms of your favorite flower(s). Notes: Roses are said to have the highest vibration of any flower.
- Find a comfortable seat on the ground on a yoga mat or cushion - either inside or outside. You may want to place a rolled blanket underneath your sits bones to help support you and keep your pelvic bowl and spine in alignment. Arrange your supplies as desired around your space with the bowl of water directly in front of you.
The Energetics of Chasing
Whether it’s love, good health, a solid relationship, serenity, freedom, a title, respect, or a certain number in the bank or on the scale - anything you chase will always be outside of you.
Apart from you.
A Perpetual Separation.
The energy of chasing by nature keeps you in pursuit and the desired "thing" running away from you. This creates more resistance & frustration and actually widens the gap between you and what you want.
