Tao Te Ching Wisdom

“The journey of a thousand miles begins beneath one’s feet with a single step.” ~ Tao Te Ching (chapter 64) This quote is always cited with the “beneath one’s feet” part taken out but if you read this text ablaze with pithy wisdom, to me THAT’s the most important part!

Beneath your feet implies meeting yourself where you are, as you are literally & figuratively. When we do this practice of feeling into this without judgement & with compassion, it affords us to muster the energy, heart & knowledge required to take that one next most aligned step in the direction we really wish to go. Not the one prescribed by society or that our limited minds tell us, but the one our soul is waiting for.

Earthing

Walk on that e a r t h baby! Mindful walking has been a practice for thousands of years but due to the fact that most of us have our feet disconnected from the earth via cars, trains & planes or concealed in shoes & socks, we have lost our collective remembrance of how to do this practice which can help mitigate anxiety, depression & increase our serotonin levels (which can help us sleep better).

This practice is one of the optimal things to do on the Virgo New Moon today (or anytime the moon is in an earth sign btw!) for Virgo is an earth sign energy whose energy is all about creating structures, systems and habits that when done daily straddle who we are to who we are becoming. This person is perfectly imperfect and way good enough, other themes of this moon and season to work with.

Interested in learning the specifics of a mindful walking / earthing practice? Check out my Mystic Membership where members are getting a new video dropped on how to do this practice in addition to a full video library with all sorts of fascinating content of how to uplevel oneself, one’s life & practices packed with astrology insights, ancient practices made modern and more!

The Power Portal of Lion’s Gate 🦁

Every August there is a powerful time called, Lion’s Gate, which isn’t just 8/8 but a full week surrounding this date. The ancient Egyptians built the pyramids of Giza & the sphinx to align with the sun which is rising with the star Sirius during this seam of time to draft off their combined energy. So it’s an auspicious practice to sit outside with the sun (even if you need to protect your skin & find some shade and/or sunscreen!) and meditate, journa

l or simply feel warmth of the sun and it’s nurturing, life giving rays and energy infuse your being.

In western astrology, this time of the year is associated with the sign Leo (1 of the 12 zodiac signs) that is tied to the sun itself. It’s a fire sign and woven with the archetype of the lion/lioness. So Lion’s Gate is an auspicious time to align with and contemplate our courage, vulnerability, brilliance & freedom which are all intrinsically connected. Other ways to work with this time and draft off it’s positive energy & influence are engaging with the following:

Sunflowers & Marigolds

Oils: Rose, Juniper, Bergamot

Colors: Orange, Gold, Rosegold

Textures: crushed velvet, textured metal

Shape: Stars

Even the smallest gesture of buying a flower and putting it in your kitchen or on an alter. Or meditating on the shape of a star or wearing orange/gold invites out psyches to synch up with nature & these themes which glean their lessons & power!

As students, seekers of life & mystics, learning to take cues off of nature (& this includes the planets & luminaries!) is a nourishing practice that in this particular case can also yield us power, potency & inspiration. For it is fiery Leo season after all!
