Coming Home to Your Inner Knowing: 7 Ways to Awaken Intuition
What if you already know?
What if there’s a voice inside you that’s never steered you wrong—
only been drowned out by the noise?
Intuition doesn’t come from effort.
It comes from softening. Listening.
Clearing space for the quiet to rise.
You don’t need to seek it.
You just need to make enough room to feel it.
7 Ways to Start Tuning In
1. Step Away From Social Media
It’s loud in there.
Even when you think you’re just “scrolling,” your energy is being siphoned. Social media fills your head with other people’s ideas, desires, and identities—and that static drowns out your own voice.
Taking a break, even a short one, can create the space you need to return to yourself.
Use that space to meditate, breathe, or simply sit in stillness—anything that helps you tune back into your own frequency.
The less noise, the more clarity.
The more presence, the more you remember.
2. Prioritize Sleep Hygiene
Your intuition needs a clear vessel.
Turn off screens at least an hour before bed.
Reduce blue light. Let yourself rise with the sun.
When you honor your natural rhythms, the wisdom inside you begins to whisper more clearly.
3. Take Breaks From Mind-Altering Substances
Alcohol, caffeine, weed, sugar, nicotine—they change your chemistry and can mask anxiety or dull clarity.
There’s nothing wrong with you if you use them.
But taking conscious breaks lets you notice how they affect you.
Sometimes the crutches we lean on most are the very things that muffle our deeper knowing.
4. Move Your Body (For the Love of It)
Not to punish it or “fix” it—just to feel alive in it.
Intuition lives in the body.
It speaks through sensation.
Dance, walk, stretch, roll, flow.
Let it be somatic exploration, not a workout.
And get bodywork.
Let skilled hands help you come home to yourself,
releasing what’s stuck and reconnecting you to what’s true.
5. Eat Well, Nourish Gently
Make your own food when you can.
Bless it. Smell it. Taste it.
This is how you build trust with your body—by feeding it with love and presence.
6. Make Something (Just Because)
Creativity is a sacred channel.
Journal stream-of-consciousness style.
Paint blindfolded. Tear up magazines and make vision boards.
No outcome needed. The process itself is a conversation with your soul.
7. Spend Time With Kids, Animals, or in Solitude
They don’t filter. They don’t force.
Kids and animals live in the now—fully present, fully honest.
They show you how to trust what’s real and respond from instinct, not expectation.
And solitude? That’s sacred too.
It’s where your own rhythm gets louder.
Where your energy recalibrates and your inner voice has room to rise.
Let presence—whether with others or with yourself—remind you of what you forgot.
✨ Journal Prompts to Awaken Intuition
When do I feel most connected to myself?
What do I know deep down, even if I don’t want to admit it?
Where in my body do I feel “yes”? Where do I feel “no”?
What kind of silence feels nourishing to me?
What have I been overriding that deserves my attention?
Final Thought
You’re not broken. You’re not behind. You’re not lost.
Like many of us, It is possible that you might a little out of tune with your natural signal.
And every small choice to slow down, to listen, to be with yourself—
brings you closer to that unshakable inner guidance you’ve had all along.

This is what we’re here for—to remember who we are, together.
Unbecoming: A Return to Remembering
What if the journey isn’t about becoming anything at all?
What if the path isn’t upward or outward—but inward and downward—
into the soil of the soul,
into the heart of remembering?
Not a race toward some perfected version of self,
but a soft and sacred unraveling.
A peeling back.
A letting go.
A falling in.
Because the truth is:
You are not here to become something.
You are here to unbecome everything you are not.
Everything the world told you to be.
Everything you thought you had to be to feel safe, or loved, or enough.
The tight smiles.
The armor.
The striving.
The shrinking.
The pretending.
You were never meant to carry it all.
We come into this life as love—
pure and soft and knowing—
and then, slowly, we forget.
We forget our light.
We forget our wild.
We forget how to trust the quiet whispers within.
We forget the sacredness of simply being.
But unbecoming...
Unbecoming is remembering.
It’s remembering the way your body speaks in sensation and shiver.
It’s remembering the soul beneath the scars.
The breath beneath the story.
The You beneath the you you’ve been told to be.
Unbecoming is not a performance.
It is a prayer.
A gentle laying down of all that is no longer yours to carry.
A bow to the versions of you that helped you survive—
and an honoring release as you step into something more real.
Not new.
Just ancient.
Just you.
So how do we remember?
We sit in stillness.
We feel what we once ran from.
We let our tears do the sacred washing.
We soften our grip.
We follow the threads of truth that tug quietly at our chest.
We breathe.
We breathe again.
We walk barefoot back into our own hearts,
and we listen.
And we listen deeper.
Until one day…
we remember:
We are not broken.
We are not too much.
We are not behind.
We are not the masks we wear.
We are love, embodied.
We are ancient wisdom wrapped in skin.
We are divine remembering in motion.
May we all have the courage to unbecome.
To unwind.
To unravel.
To return.
And may that return feel like Home.
Ready to Remember?
If something in you is whispering yes... follow it.
Book your private yoga journey, schedule a bodywork session, or come sit with us in sacred circle.
This is the path of unbecoming—of returning to the truth beneath it all.
Let’s walk it together.
Let’s come home.
How to Tell What Your Vibration Is (and Why Your Nervous System Holds the Key)
How to Tell What Your Vibration Is
...and why your nervous system holds the key.
You’ve heard it before:
“Raise your vibration.”
“Manifest from a higher frequency.”
“You attract what you are.”
But how do you actually know what vibration you’re operating from?
It’s not just about being in a good mood or thinking positive thoughts.
Your vibration is not a feeling—it’s a frequency.
And one of the clearest ways to tune into it is through your nervous system.
💫 What Is Your Vibration, Really?
Your vibration is the energetic signature you carry.
It’s the felt sense of your presence—the signal you emit without saying a word.
It’s how your body, breath, thoughts, and emotions harmonize… or don’t.
And here’s the truth: you can’t fake it.
You can say affirmations. Light the candles. Envision your dream life.
But if your nervous system is locked in stress—tight, frozen, spinning—your energy will reflect that.
And the universe will respond to that signal, not the one you’re trying to send.
🧠 Your Nervous System: The Regulator of Frequency
Your nervous system is the bridge between your physical body and your energetic field.
It’s constantly scanning your environment for one thing:
Am I safe?
Your state of safety or stress becomes the quality of your vibration.
🔥 Fight or flight? Expect energy that feels sharp, rushed, urgent.
❄️ Freeze? Expect a numb, foggy, withdrawn frequency.
🌿 Regulated? You’ll radiate openness, ease, magnetism.
So if you’re unsure where you’re vibrating… start by asking:
What state is my nervous system in right now?
🌀 How to Feel Your Vibration in Real Time
You don’t need a crystal or a reading. Your body is already telling you.
Here’s how to listen:
1. Scan Your Body
Where is there tension? Numbness? Openness?
Is your heart clenched or relaxed? Your belly tight or soft?
Your body is a tuning fork for truth.
2. Notice Your Breath
Your breath mirrors your internal state.
Is it shallow, held, or uneven?
Or is it full, rhythmic, and flowing?
A regulated breath = a regulated energy field.
3. Observe Your Thoughts
Your thoughts influence your frequency—not by what you think, but by how you feel while thinking them.
Are you cycling through scarcity?
Are you trying to prove your worth?
Or is your inner dialogue rooted in trust, compassion, and curiosity?
4. Feel the Emotional Tone
Go deeper than the surface emotion.
Does your excitement feel anxious or grounded?
Does your sadness want to move or stay stuck?
Feelings aren’t good or bad—but the way they move holds clues.
🧘♀️ It’s Not About “High Vibes Only”
This isn’t about bypassing your pain or pretending everything’s fine.
It’s about being honest about where you are.
Because when you meet yourself there—with presence instead of pressure—your vibration naturally begins to shift.
✨ How to Tend to Your Vibration (By Regulating Your Nervous System)
To change your frequency, support your nervous system.
Here are some ways to begin:
Breathwork and nervous system-based yoga
Intuitive movement, dance, tai chi
Bodywork to release stored energy
Barefoot walks in nature
Crying. Laughing. Shaking. Feeling.
Sacred rest—yes, naps count
Chanting, singing, sound healing
Safe connection—or restorative solitude
Putting a hand on your heart and simply being
Your body knows what it needs. Your energy will follow.
💛 Final Whisper
You are not too late.
You are not behind.
You are not broken.
You are energy in motion.
And the more gently and honestly you tend to that energy, the more clearly life responds to the truth of who you are.
So if you’re wondering where your vibration is—
Come back to your body.
Come back to your breath.
Come back home.
Your vibration is already speaking.
Are you listening?
Cutting Energetic Cords: Reclaim Your Power & Return to Yourself
Cutting Energetic Cords: Reclaim Your Power & Return to Yourself
If you’re reading this, you are probably on a path of awakening. You are becoming more aware of your energy, your emotions, and the unseen forces that shape your reality. You are realizing that healing is not just about time passing—it’s about consciously choosing to release what no longer serves you.
I know a thing or two about breakups—not just the romantic kind, but the ones that shake you to your core, leaving you questioning everything. I’ve had relationships that felt impossible to move on from, where I thought I was losing my mind, drowning in a pain so deep it felt like it would never end. There were moments I didn’t want to keep going, where the grief and confusion made me feel like I was being annihilated.
But here’s the truth: it’s not just lovers we stay energetically tied to. Family bonds, friendships, even professional relationships can linger long after they’ve ended. Sometimes, we hold onto these connections out of habit, obligation, or unresolved emotions. Other times, we don’t even realize we’re still carrying them until we feel drained, stuck, or unable to move forward.
At some point, we have to ask ourselves: Am I still giving my energy to something that is no longer giving back to me?
This is where cord cutting becomes a profound act of self-liberation—not as a way to bypass our emotions, but as a way to fully honor, process, and release them so we can reclaim our power.
What Are Energy Cords?
Every time we deeply connect with someone, an energetic cord is formed. These cords act like invisible pathways through which emotions, thoughts, and energy flow between two people.
Some cords are healthy, built on love and mutual support. But others become draining, restrictive, or unbalanced—keeping us tied to the past, limiting our growth, and affecting our emotional and physical well-being.
These cords can exist in many types of relationships:
🔹 Romantic partners & exes – Lingering attachment, unresolved emotions, and energetic ties can remain long after separation.
🔹 Family – Parents, siblings, or childhood conditioning can still unconsciously influence us.
🔹 Friendships – Some friendships evolve, while others become toxic, codependent, or misaligned.
🔹 Work & professional ties – Bosses, coworkers, or clients can take up energetic space, especially in high-stress environments.
🔹 Trauma bonds – Shared hardship can create a connection that feels impossible to break, even when it no longer serves us.
🔹 Social media & public figures – We can become energetically entangled with people we’ve never met by investing too much attention and emotional energy into them.
Not all cords are negative. Some connections are part of our soul’s journey. But when a cord begins to deplete rather than nourish, it’s time to reclaim our energy.
Signs That You’re Still Corded to Someone
💭 You think about them obsessively, even when you don’t want to.
💭 You feel sudden waves of emotion that don’t seem to belong to you.
💭 You experience exhaustion, anxiety, or mood swings without clear cause.
💭 You replay past conversations or interactions in your mind.
💭 You feel guilt, obligation, or an invisible pull toward them, even if they’re no longer in your life.
💭 You struggle to move on, despite knowing deep down that it’s time.
We often don’t realize how much energy we’re leaking until we start practicing mindfulness. The more self-aware we become, the more we recognize where our energy is going—and who is still pulling on it.
Returning Their Things—And Getting Yours Back
Before cutting an energetic cord, it’s important to release physical attachments as well. Objects hold energy. If you still have their belongings—letters, gifts, clothing—ask yourself:
"Does keeping this help me heal, or is it keeping me tied to the past?"
Letting go of these items creates space for new energy to flow into your life.
Similarly, if they have your belongings—things that hold your energy—consider reclaiming them. Sometimes it’s not about the object itself, but about calling back the parts of you that got lost in the connection.
Cord Cutting: A Ceremony of Reclaiming Yourself
Cord cutting isn’t about erasing the past—it’s about setting yourself free in the present. It’s a declaration: I choose myself.
It’s important to note that you don’t have to rush this process. Healing happens in layers. Some cords need to be cut more than once, and that’s okay. Honor your timing.
A Powerful Cord-Cutting Ritual
1️⃣ Find a Quiet Space
Sit in a safe, undisturbed place. Light a candle, burn incense, or hold a crystal—whatever helps you feel grounded.
2️⃣ Acknowledge the Connection
Before you cut, honor what this relationship meant. Say (or write down):
"I acknowledge this bond. I honor what it taught me. But I am ready to release what no longer serves me."
3️⃣ Visualize the Cords
Close your eyes. Breathe deeply. Imagine where this person’s energy is still attached to you—your heart, your gut, your throat?
4️⃣ Process Any Feelings That Arise
Grief, anger, sadness—let them come. Cord cutting isn’t just about severing ties; it’s about honoring your emotions so they can finally move through you.
5️⃣ Cut the Cord
Visualize a sword of light, sacred scissors, or a beam of fire cutting the cord. Some ask spirit guides, ancestors, or Archangel Michael for assistance. If it feels right, say:
"I release this attachment with love. I call all of my energy back to me, cleansed and renewed."
6️⃣ Return What’s Not Yours
Imagine sending back any energy that isn’t yours. You don’t have to carry their pain, their expectations, their projections.
7️⃣ Seal Your Energy Field
Visualize a golden light wrapping around you, keeping your energy intact. Breathe deeply. Feel yourself lighter, freer, whole.
You Deserve to Be Whole
Cutting cords isn’t about coldness or denial. It’s about self-love.
You deserve to wake up without carrying the weight of someone who is no longer walking beside you.
You deserve to feel free from old wounds and draining attachments.
You deserve to have your energy fully present in your own life.
The moment you realize this—the moment you feel it in your bones—is the moment you know:
✨ It’s time to let go. ✨
Your Next Step: Take Back Your Power
🔹 Observe your energy today. Where is it leaking?
🔹 Journal about any lingering emotional ties. Are they serving you?
🔹 Return their things and get yours back. Close the loop.
🔹 Try the cord-cutting ritual. Notice how you feel afterward.
🔹 Share this practice with others. Who in your life might need this?
Healing is a process. You don’t have to rush it. But when the time comes, set yourself free.
Because the most powerful love you will ever experience is the love you reclaim for yourself. 💫✨
Leaky Energy: What It Is, How It Shows Up, and How to Seal the Leaks
Leaky Energy: What It Is, How It Shows Up, and How to Seal the Leaks
Have you ever felt like you’re constantly running on empty, giving more than you’re receiving, or just feeling “off”? Chances are, you’re experiencing leaky energy—a subtle but powerful drain on your life force. The good news is, it doesn’t have to be this way. Once you understand how your energy leaks and learn how to stop them, life becomes lighter, clearer, and far more joyful. In this blog, we’ll explore what leaky energy is, how to recognize it, and practical ways to stop it from draining you. Ready to reclaim your energy? Let’s dive in!
What Is Leaky Energy?
Leaky energy occurs when your life force—your vitality—becomes scattered, wasted, or drained by external forces or internal imbalances. Think of your energy like water in a bucket: if there are holes in the bucket, your energy is seeping out. These leaks can come in many forms—overcommitting to obligations, seeking validation from others, holding onto unprocessed emotions, or pouring too much energy into situations and people who don’t nourish you.
When your energy leaks, you might feel:
Exhausted
Distracted
Anxious
Unfulfilled
But when you start to notice these leaks and patch them up, life feels incredibly different. You feel grounded, aligned, and fully alive. It's a shift from just surviving to truly thriving.
How Does Leaky Energy Show Up?
Leaky energy often manifests in different ways depending on your behaviors and the dynamics in your life. Let’s look at some common energy leaks:
Overgiving Olivia Olivia is the perpetual "people-pleaser." She says "yes" to every request and takes on way more than she can handle. Eventually, she finds herself burned out, because her energy is being spread too thin.
How to Stop It: Olivia can start by learning to say "no" without guilt. By prioritizing her needs and protecting her energy, she can give only when it truly serves her, not out of obligation.
Resentful Roger Roger takes on more than his fair share at work and in relationships, yet never speaks up. He suppresses his frustrations, and over time, they leak out as passive-aggressive comments or resentment.
How to Stop It: Roger needs to address his frustrations directly and communicate honestly. Speaking his truth in a clear, compassionate way prevents resentment from building up.
Scrolling Sophie Sophie spends hours scrolling through social media, comparing herself to others, and getting caught up in the validation cycle. This constant consumption of external content drains her energy and leaves her feeling unproductive and disconnected from her own dreams.
How to Stop It: Sophie can replace mindless scrolling with activities that nourish her—journaling, meditating, or working on her personal projects. Limiting time on social media helps her reclaim her energy and focus.
Sexy Sam Sam uses her sexuality to seek validation from others. While embracing her sensuality isn’t inherently wrong, Sam finds herself stuck in shallow connections that leave her feeling unworthy and disconnected from her true desires.
How to Stop It: Sam can focus on self-validation through practices like yoga, breathwork, or creative expression. By learning to honor her sexuality in ways that are aligned with her true self, she can reconnect with her power.
Relationship Riley Riley jumps from relationship to relationship, fearing solitude. She pours her energy into her partners, losing herself in the process and becoming codependent.
How to Stop It: Riley can take time for self-reflection and self-love. By nurturing her independence, through solo adventures or therapy, she can learn to thrive on her own and enter future relationships from a place of strength and wholeness.
Workaholic Wendy Wendy is the classic workaholic. She believes that success and productivity are the keys to happiness, but she often overextends herself at the expense of her personal well-being. She finds herself caught in a constant cycle of striving, leaving little energy for anything else.
How to Stop It: Wendy can begin by learning to pace herself. Recognizing that rest and self-care are just as essential as work will help her maintain a healthier balance. She can also set clear boundaries around work hours and focus on fulfilling, non-work activities to recharge her energy.
Energy Leaks from Addiction and Substance Abuse
Another major area where energy leaks can show up is through addiction and substance abuse. Whether it’s alcohol, drugs, food, or even compulsive behaviors, these habits can be profound energy drains. Addiction often creates an illusion of relief or escape, but in reality, it continually saps your vitality, leaving you feeling more disconnected from your true self.
How addiction leaks energy: Substance abuse can numb your emotional pain, but it also prevents you from fully engaging with your life force. Your energy becomes consumed by the need to seek temporary relief or validation through substances or behaviors. This creates a cycle of dependency that weakens your mind, body, and spirit over time.
Why it happens: Many people turn to substances or addictive behaviors to cope with unresolved trauma, emotional pain, or stress. When we are disconnected from our true selves, we seek external sources for comfort and numb the underlying discomfort, leading to continued energy depletion.
How to stop it: Healing from addiction requires self-compassion and commitment to reclaiming your energy. Start by seeking professional help, whether it’s therapy, support groups, or counseling. Integrating practices such as mindfulness, yoga, or meditation can help you reconnect with your inner strength and begin the process of energy restoration. Replacing unhealthy coping mechanisms with healthier habits is key to restoring your vitality.
Why Does Leaky Energy Matter?
Leaky energy doesn’t just drain you—it also affects your relationships, work, and overall well-being. When your energy is leaking, it’s difficult to show up fully for yourself or others. You may feel disconnected from your goals, emotionally distant from those you love, or overwhelmed by life’s demands. However, when your energy is intact, something truly magical happens.What It Feels Like When Your Energy Isn’t Leaking
When your energy is aligned and intact, you feel:
Grounded: You are centered and calm, making decisions from a place of clarity and balance.
Energized: Rather than feeling drained, you feel vibrant and alive, with the energy to pursue what matters most.
Confident: You don’t need external validation because you trust your own worth. Your confidence radiates from within.
Clear and Focused: Your mind isn’t cluttered with overthinking or distractions. You can channel your energy into your goals with ease.
Fulfilled: You feel whole, not needing to rely on others to complete you. You create fulfillment within yourself.
How to Clean Up Leaky Energy
It’s not just about recognizing energy leaks—it’s also about taking action to prevent them. Here are some practical ways to stop your energy from leaking:
Set Boundaries
Olivia’s Fix: Learn to say "no" when something feels draining or out of alignment with your values. Protect your energy by honoring yourself first.
Speak Your Truth
Roger’s Fix: Speak up about your frustrations before they build into resentment. Honest communication is key to maintaining balanced energy in relationships.
Limit Distractions
Sophie’s Fix: Set boundaries around time spent on social media and other distractions. Use your time to focus on what nurtures your soul—whether it’s a passion project, a hobby, or deep work.
Reclaim Your Worth
Sam’s Fix: Focus on self-validation. Practice connecting to your intrinsic worth through mindful activities like yoga, meditation, or creative self-expression.
Learn to Love Yourself
Riley’s Fix: Cultivate self-love through time alone. Spend time getting to know yourself outside of romantic relationships, and build a strong foundation of self-acceptance.
Pace Yourself
Wendy’s Fix: Learn to balance work with self-care. Taking breaks and setting boundaries around your time will help you avoid burnout and prevent energy leaks caused by overworking.
A Quick Exercise to Reclaim Your Energy
Try this simple exercise to clear your energy and reclaim your vitality:
Close your eyes and take a deep breath.
Visualize your energy as a glowing golden light inside you.
Imagine that light expanding, filling you up completely.
Now, see yourself sealing any “leaks”—any areas where you’ve been giving too much or letting your energy drain.
Repeat this affirmation: “My energy is mine to protect. I am whole, radiant, and powerful.”
Final Thoughts: Protect Your Energy and Thrive
Leaky energy happens to all of us. It’s part of being human. But by becoming more aware of where your energy leaks and taking the necessary steps to heal, you can protect your vitality and live more fully. When your energy is aligned and whole, you’re not just surviving—you’re thriving. You’re magnetic, centered, and deeply connected to your life’s purpose.
So, where might your energy be leaking? And what’s one small step you can take today to start sealing those leaks? Your energy is precious—tend to it with love, and watch your life transform.
