This is a controversial topic and I know it will hit some chords for some people. Every body is different and unique. Your work environment, daily responsibilities, and maintaining routine all contribute to what you need to survive (and thrive). But our society is hyper-focused on Energy. And I am not talking about Quantum energy here. I am talking about physical stimulation that has been hijacked by capitalist exploitation of the human body. From energy drinks to morning coffee rituals to the new matcha craze — we are all searching for more energy. More output. More production. More push. And rarely are we asking: Why are we so tired in the first place? From the Bhakti Yoga perspective, we try not to rely on external stimulation. External stimulation is often a sign that something internal is being bypassed. When we override the body’s natural rhythms with caffeine and stimulants, we create a cycle that is not sustainable without an outside source. That is different from inner vitality. This is why when I work with (especially) highly sensitive people, I always ask about caffeine intake. When you struggle with chronic illness, fatigue, burnout, depression and/or anxiety — it can absolutely be linked to the body becoming dependent on outside sources for “energy.” I am not talking about herbs, fruits, and vegetables. Those nourish the nervous system. They support regulation. They are not addictive in the way coffee and synthetic energy “fixers” can be. There is a difference between nourishment and stimulation. And this is where I use the word: Inergy Inergy is inner-generated vitality. It is what happens when your nervous system is regulated.When your adrenals are not constantly being whipped. When your sleep is intact. When your body trusts you. Energy (as society markets it) is often borrowed. Inergy is cultivated. 💠 Natural ways to restore Inergy 💠 🌞Morning Sun Between sunrise and around 10am — when the light is life-giving rather than aggressive. Even 10 minutes can shift your mood, hormones, and clarity.

Greetings Mystiks ✨ Thank you to those who shared their input for our April Workshop. It looks like we are moving toward a Leadership & Legacy journey. The poll is still open if you haven’t chimed in yet. Now, let’s drop in… Tomorrow’s New Moon ushers in the Spring Equinox, alongside the Vedic and Persian New Year—a powerful weekend of renewal and reorientation. So let’s take a moment to gently leap forward. Six months from now… where will you be? Pause and feel into that. What has integrated? What has opened? What have you finally allowed yourself to release? By the time we arrive at the Fall Equinox, the harvest is honest. The Earth does not rush her becoming—and neither do you. This Fall, I will be holding an intimate retreat with my dear friend Om on his farm in Northern California—One With the Earth—a ceremonial space for those who are ready to recalibrate, decompress, and renew their relationship with themselves and the living Earth. This is for those who feel the quiet call already stirring. Not loud. Not urgent. But undeniable. In the days following the Spring Equinox, I will be sharing more details privately with those who feel aligned. If your body is already leaning in… comment RETREAT 🌾 I look forward to journeying through this Spring energy with you all. Till next time, Deanna
