Plum Thunder: Recent Episodes
Plum Thunder
This meditation has been a go-to tool for me to mindfully come back to the present, *especially when my mind is in over-drive. While this meditation is only a few minutes, May we come to see that mindfulness is the ultimate portable practice. Available to us anytime, for any amount of time we have space for. Thank you.
Thank you for pausing and resting under the Plum Thunder tree. Join me as I stumble through different thoughts on proper perception, reception, faith, and mindfulness. How would we like to invest our attention?
Hello hello it’s been a while - life has been lived baby ! I hope this message finds you well 🙏 this is a practice in alchemy. And if this doesn’t work for you, many blessings to you on your journey of developing and discovering tools that DO bring you a deeper sense of Self-understanding 🩷
In this Meditation we will explore the shape of our body, the physiology of our breath, and how together, they create movement beyond the physical parts of ourselves.
Hello beloved beings, this is a meditation that provides us the time and space to notice the container of our body, to notice our breath one moment to the next, and how when we are Here in the Now we don’t need to cling or grasp on too tightly; we don’t need to have control in order to be with what Is. So find a comfy place sit and just Be. Thank you as always for taking the time to pause and rest in the shade of the Plum Thunder Tree.
As cancer season comes to a close, here are my rambles and reflections on the past month. How does grief play a role in the path of Re-membering? What does that mean for forgiveness, and grace? The yogic practice brings me back to humility and honesty. It reminds me that I am One with All That Is - Mindfulness reminds me that I have the time, so it’s a beautiful thing that we get to take the time for reflection. We get to take the time to come back to Remembrance. Once again, thank you for pausing and taking some rest under the Plum Thunder tree. Peaceful breathing everyone.

Howdy y’all ! Over the course of this journey thus far, I have become very intimate with anxiety. Aside from what I touch on here, anxiety is a little alert system that signals to us that something is “off”. When you are living in fight-or-flight however, this is where we are in a chronic state of anxiety and hyper-awareness. When I experience anxiety in a freeze state, it is usually due to the fact that there are endless options of things to “do” , or , “what is the next “right” choice?” The potential for creation is so strong because I HAVE the power to create!!! My teacher asked us once, “if you knew that you were an active participant in your own life, would that decrease or increase anxiety?” If you’ve been a people-pleaser, codependent person like me, then the fact of realizing that I am RESPONSIBLE for my LIFE and for what I want , after always living for other people, blew my mind. This can STILL send me into a freeze response and anxiety can be very strong. Anxiety, is a multifaceted emotional that is communicating WITH us; when we learn to regulate our nervous systems into a more grounded state, we can begin to take a look at anxiety as an emotion with very strong conviction yes, however, we can start to see it through a lens of love, and work with it. Not wish it away, but to utilize it as another tool within our tool belt. by no means am I suggesting that anxiety is not serious; so please, if it calls to you, get professional help in any form that works best , FOR YOU! this is a tiny snippet of my experience from working within a plethora of different healing modalities over the years and how I’ve processed trauma through my own experience as ALWAYS do what’s best for you Thank you for chillin under the Plum Thunder Tree, in•joy the shade and rest. Till next time.
I’ve been thinking about the different characters that the Mind, or Ego, can adopt. The Judge is given skewed information from the critic in order to persuade the judge (i.e the mind, which is extremely persuasive as we all know) that punishment needs to be taken. What lies beyond this? The testimony of the Witness. The witness, while still a part of the mind, is one of the most reliable Sources because of how it lives within the in-between space; perhaps, through this witnessing, it is able to interact with our inner judge so that no further harm must be done. Let us cultivate the Witness. Let us sit , in order to Breathe, Be, and Be With. Let us sit in order to See, to listen with steady Ears, and open Hearts.
Straight off the dome - just a bit of what I’m processing and pondering on these days within this energy (inner-G). It’s a special time; it’s the most natural thing for me around this time of year to retreat inward and reflect. To set intention and attune my attention toward what is of most efficacy toward the vision Eye see. Thanks for being here with me on this journey<3
Join me in my rambles and excitement. The essence of any expression is always enough. Honoring and baring witness to the magic in the mundane. Easy does it as we honor simplicity. Honoring the subtle ways we come to the in-between space in order to respond instead of react.
We are together in time. Could there be any other way? Join me in affirming Gratitude for This Day, for This Breath, and for each Happening.
We aren’t meant to do this alone. You are seen, you are felt, you are heard, you are celebrated! Congratulations to you and your efforts. Congratulations to doing things differently through and in Devotion <3
Moon-day reflections // creating conditions and becoming curious for an experience of stability and sustainability when the mind is running. Please join me in affirming our next steps toward Right and Helpful action.
Lessons along the Path continues as I explore etymology and how these qualities relate to our yogic practice (or any path we may take toward Wholeness & Self Discovery)
An excerpt from my Journal about the Warrior’s Journey. Some day’s there is no silver-lining; some days it is painful and heartbreaking. Let this be an Ode to the Journey - to each step taken in your Radical Willingness. If we can allow it, can we turn toward the grief? Can we sit with it and pour some tea?
Hello Beautiful Beings. Once you have the space to reside in stillness , join me in opening up the heart space, and marinating in the essence of loving kindness. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti; peace, peace, peace.
Happy Moon-day! Join me in my ramblings of the 8 of pentacles, the Virgo archetype, and the Path’s we take. Blessed are the preconditions, blessed is our Power in vulnerability. May we be SEEN and Known by ourselves, may we come out of Hiding and inner-stand that each step IS Forward - it is in turning toward. All paths lead to the same place.
Join me as I mis-speak, laugh, and weave thoughts on body scan meditation, the seedlings of a practice I call Beginning Again, as well as some of the Pillars we utilize as we Build Bridges.
