I will be working this Sunday so I will miss you all. Here are my journal entries, affirmations and reflection on the Solar Plexus chakra ✨ 1. What are my strengths and accomplishments, and how do they make me feel? When I slow down and look honestly at my life, I see someone who doesn’t give up. I’ve survived trauma, grief, chronic pain, uncertainty, and major life transitions, yet I continue choosing healing. Some of my strengths include compassion, deep empathy, intuition, curiosity, resilience, and a genuine desire to help others heal. I create spaces where people feel safe to be vulnerable. Even when I doubt myself, people often trust me because they feel seen and understood. I’m proud that I’ve: - Completed Tim Fletcher’s LIFT program. - Begun peer coaching clients. - Continued pursuing training in trauma and healing. - Started taking steps toward offering medicine work and coaching. - Continued showing up despite fear. - Returned to work after my injury. - Continued advocating for myself medically and legally. - Stayed committed to my own healing journey. Rather than feeling proud all the time, I notice I often minimize these accomplishments. I move on to the next thing without allowing myself to recognize how far I’ve come. I want to begin celebrating my progress instead of only focusing on what I haven’t achieved yet. 2. What’s one area where I feel confident, and how can I build on that? I feel most confident when I’m sitting with someone who is hurting. Listening comes naturally to me. I don’t feel the need to fix people. I genuinely want to understand them. I can often hear what’s underneath the words they’re saying and help them feel less alone. To build on that confidence, I can: - Continue coaching regularly. - Ask for feedback after sessions. - Trust my instincts more instead of second-guessing myself. - Continue learning while remembering I don’t have to know everything to be helpful. Confidence grows through experience—not perfection.

This week, I’ve been reflecting on the sacral chakra and what creativity, desire, and emotional flow really mean to me. One thing I realized is that creativity isn’t just about making art—it’s about creating meaningful experiences and connections with other people. As I journaled, I noticed that many of the ideas I keep coming back to involve helping others. I found myself thinking about making intention bracelets, creating cedar and lavender bundles, and even offering bracelet-making workshops at treatment centres where people could choose beads and charms that represent what they’re working toward in their healing. It made me realize that what lights me up isn’t just creating things—it’s creating things with purpose. I also recognized that I’ve been settling into what’s familiar instead of what’s truly fulfilling. I’m becoming more aware that I’m longing for work that allows me to connect with people on a deeper level. Emotionally, I realized I’ve been avoiding sadness. I also noticed that I find it difficult to ask for help and allow myself to be supported. That’s something I want to continue working on. One of my biggest takeaways this week was that before I try to figure out my entire future, I want to reconnect with what genuinely brings me joy and curiosity. I’m learning to trust that following those small sparks of creativity may eventually lead me where I’m meant to go. Thank you all for being on this journey together 🙏🏼✨🫶🏻

✨ I prioritize healing and stability over urgency. ✨ I trust myself to take one step at a time. ✨ I remain curious about what is emerging instead of forcing certainty. ✨ I allow support, connection, and new opportunities.

My root chakra meditation was surprisingly uncomfortable. Perfectionism showed up right away, and I became very aware of my surroundings and my need for things to be a certain way before I could relax. The practice also brought awareness to the tension and tightness I’ve been carrying in my body, especially around my injury. I struggled at times to stay present and had to keep reminding myself that the goal wasn’t perfection—it was simply showing up. My biggest takeaway was realizing how much work I still have around grounding, safety, and trusting that I don’t need everything to be perfect to be present.

My intention is to reconnect with myself in a more consistent and embodied way. I’ve been feeling a need to simplify and slow down, and I want to prioritize nervous system regulation and body awareness. I’m curious to go deeper into the chakra system, but most importantly, I’m here to build a steady practice of listening to my body and learning how to stay grounded in myself. 🙏🏼✨
