August Inbox Inspiration
Keeping you informed, encouraged, & inspired.
Ah August! The month of sunshine, stargazing, and lion energy. The time of year to soak in the last lazy days and late nights of summer. When I think of August I think of s'mores around a camp fire, fresh lemonade at a family BBQ, and watching the sun set from a pontoon boat out on the lake. I love feeling the shock on my steaming hot skin as it plunges into an ice cold swimming pool--so invigorating! It's in moments like these that I fully appreciate being alive. What are you enjoying this August? For those of you struggling to see the beauty and magic in the world right now, I offer hope, optimism, and encouragement. For even if it's unclear to you in this moment, life is unfolding exactly as it should. The universe is bursting with love for you and only wants the very best for you. If this feels difficult to believe, I offer patience and trust. Who can you reach out to for support? What tools do you have to get through this time? You are not alone. You are loved.With gratitude, Kristen

Boost of Confidence Energy Spray This fresh smelling spray was meticulously created with the intention of opening your Solar Plexus Chakra and boosting your self-esteem and self-worth. Scented with lemon, bergamot, and petitgrain, this energy spray is recommended to ease suffering from low self confidence, helplessness, apathy, low self esteem, procrastination, poor self-image, lack of willpower, and excessive need for control. Each 4 oz. fine mist spray bottle is lovingly filled with an original blend of the highest quality therapeutic grade pure essential oils, witch hazel, and purified water (no stinky, fake, heavy perfume scents here!) To use, gently shake the bottle, then mist your skin and/or your environment, take a long, slow deep breath and feel the healing begin. BUY August Full Moon Women's Circle Join me and other like minded souls on Monday, August 23rd from 7:00-9:00 PM This event is evolving! The Full Moon Ceremony is now called the Full Moon Women's Circle. After our first few gatherings, it's become clear that our 'ceremonies' are less about the moon and more about coming together as women to feel heard, empowered, and supported. Monthly topics will be free-flowing and the level of participation is up to each individual. You may share as much or as little as you're comfortable with. For consistency, we will continue to meet on the date of each full moon, with tea and sweets provided. We'll gather around the fire and cultivate a sacred community with:
A brief grounding meditation
Oracle cards for inspiration
Reflecting on the past month and pondering personal goals for the upcoming month
Sharing, listening, and witnessing each other

DID YOU KNOW?
Reiki Clears the Mind & Improves Focus Reiki reminds us to be in the present moment. The positive energy transfer allows the mind to focus on current events, not hold onto past mistakes, or fret about the future. This helps promote calm and positive reactions to situations, people, and circumstances in all areas of life. Relax―Release―Restore with Reiki Reiki is an ancient Japanese energy healing technique for pain relief and stress reduction that promotes the body's natural ability to heal itself. It is a gentle, no-touch practice that treats the whole person, including the mind, body, and spirit. Reiki is beneficial for any person, at any age, for any reason.

In Your Own Words "I had no idea what Reiki was until I had my first energy session with Kristen. What I learned about myself is helping me expand my boundaries and I now feel a renewed self-confidence and purpose for my life. Kristen has a way of making you feel comfortable the moment you meet her and the experience was simply amazing. Thank you, Kristen for your commitment to excellence in your practice." ~Christina H., Palo Alto, CA
