Your Dreams. Nourish Your Sanctuary

“Aligning your Mind, Heart and Will make you UNSTOPPABLE especially this year.” @kimwoodschannel 2022 Astrological Forecast

Yes, we could use this lift and loft right about… NOW.
I’ll (a)line up first: I have a #cosmicdraftingtable.

It’s how I create. It’s here – only because I’m here – in the #SanctuaryStudio on our magical farm. You SEE, it goes with me everywhere – it lives in the Sanctuary of my creative HEART.

Until NOW, Mike, my brother, and Kim were the only two that knew how I SEE.

Some see angels.
Some see ancestors.
Some see furniture inside a block of wood.
Some see your future.
Some see love no matter what.

And I see your heart’s connection with the healing and magic of nature to nourish, nurture and nature your dreams and radiance. Light, Intuition, Energy – I speak your UNIQUE sacred connection into “design”. Together we literally CREATE the SACRED SPACE that connects you with the sacred heart of the planet.

Energy…dots…connecting…communing…creating for your healing, happiness, and vibe.

No two “designs” are the same because no two legacies are.

My knowing this gift needed space to BE and a mentor, much like you do. Aligning with this dream to reunite you within this sacredness is beautiful and powerful.

This space is far more than what we conventionally know as “space”. You see, “sacred space” is a process AND a place.

The “industry” pushes to hurry up the design process and regales the finished product as the physical installation. This is only a small part of the magic…

Back to Kim… honoring the alignment process of your Mind, Heart, Will yields the healing. I dreamt for a very long time to KNOW my gifts and path. Kim is my mentor.

Back to my #cosmicdraftingtable… JUMP in, both feet, into Kim’s 3-day Dreams, Desires, and Dollars challenge HAPPENING NOW.

EVERY time I do one of her programs, my bottom line and my higher mind, GROW.

Your Dreams nourish your Sanctuary… so you’ll want to KNOW how, NOW.

#FeelGoodFurnishings | Winter’s Take Good Care Kit

Ahhh… We’ve hit midstride of the season of stillness With these 5 fave feel-good furnishINgs you’ll be in good keeping for mid-winter’s rest.

Take this feel-good care kit of parts as a set or a la carte. Either way, it is intended for your inward garden’s replenishment. After all, it is the “listen and recoup” time of year!

Anything that Erin Stutland creates, I’m on it (4 years later, I’m still doing her soul strolls!).  Her latest book on Mantras, motion, manifesting is new year nightstand worthy.

Speaking of worthy, make the space surrounding you meaningful and it’ll feel more like the Sanctuary that you are becoming. My Pocket Guide was crafted to help with just that. 

I go local for my Spearmint tea from Smith Teamaker. Word has it = redux in inflammation, aids immune & digestive processes, antioxidant, AND with supports age-related cognitive dips and memory!  

If you’ve ever or never tried forcing branches, give pussy willow a go and you’ll have signs of growth, which represent the coming of prosperity in ancient cultures. (And you’ll have nature inside!)

Sweet Orange paired with Pine essential oils diffused will invite creativity and positivity while grounding you during your sacred practice of stillness, prayer, meditation.

Style + Science + Soul – jade green as your self-care machine

The gemstone color of deep Jade is a “natural” soothing color and offsets the feelings that come side saddle with anxiety, nervousness, and depression.

Style…

There are differences of opinions (shocker!) when it comes to determining the “color of the year”. Some (Pantone) say its Living Coral (which we’ll get jiggy with come our Spring ’19 ezine issue), where PPGPaints is digging on a green… Not just any green, the Evergreen or Jade tone of green called “Night Watch“. I call it, ommmmm worthy. 

Being surrounded by Night Watch can give some of that empty space back by pulling our memories of natural environments to the surface to recreate the calming, invigorating euphoria we feel when in nature.”

Dee Schlotter
– PPG’s senior color marketing manager

“The urge to reconnect with nature is driven by today’s tumultuous, still somewhat rebellious, always-connected society. Empty space in our lives—such as downtime waiting for a bus or lulls in conversation—tends to be filled with the use of our smartphones and devices.,” said Dee Schlotter, PPG’s senior color marketing manager. “Being surrounded by Night Watch can give some of that empty space back by pulling our memories of natural environments to the surface to recreate the calming, invigorating euphoria we feel when in nature.”

In my mission for #greenviewshelpyou, this color is a particularly fab choice if you’re stalled by windowless walls. 

Science…

Plainly, it’s E. O. Wilson’s Biophilic Design at play: our innate tendency to seek connections with nature and other forms of life (our surrounds, context, built environs). 

The psychological meaning of that green, Jade gemstone color? It is believed to enhance a sense of balance, growth, renewal hopefulness,  and buffer emotional demands of others. It imbues trust and generosity without worrying about reciprocity. Hmm… trust in one’s value as abundant enough… Green for thought and enlightenment. How’s that for all of us keepers, doers, high functioners?!

‘Round the planet, green is the most predominant color (God help us it stays that way) alongside blue (again, reverence folks) which is linked to nurturance. (I know, duh.)

What I also appreciate about green is that it’s a neutral party, helping us see and hear things from both sides. It’s just here to support and to suggest growth. Yum.

Soul…

Not looking to redo your hallway, house paint, back door, cushions, pottery but want a tidbit of Night Watch’s color positivity in your vibe and life?

Go small scale, intimate, personal with a mossy, jade colored green to ground and nurture you: pick up some Moss Agate. 

Revealer and Astrologist Kim E. Woods says, “… [it] guides you on your spiritual journey. I love this stone for 2019 as its grounding, yet is all about movement. It’s the perfect remedy for the cosmic energy this year. Combine it with blue quartz (yes!) to enhance spiritual expression while improving your authentic communication with others.”  Get Kim’s full 2019 forecast here.
