It’s almost time for the Barefoot Breathing e-course to begin again. Registration is open, with the course (by Jackie and Jason) starting later this month.

I took this e-course last September… and what a gorgeous and transformative experience it was. Around mid-summer last year, I realized I was spending too much time indoors and too little time in the fresh air. So I started spending more time outside – and spending more of that time outside barefooted.

Intuitively, I knew it was what I needed.

My summer had been filled with hot flashes, every day, all throughout the day. Short flashes, but uncomfortable, sometimes leaving me feeling physically ill. The nights had also been one hot flash after another – no sweats, but hot flashes that woke me up, over and over again throughout the night. Every night.

I was sleep deprived. I had little energy. Some days I felt absolutely awful.

I started working more with crystals like moonstone. I increased the number of Reiki treatments I was giving myself.

And I took to the outdoors.

Then a couple of months later, I signed up for Barefoot Breathing.

I’m not even sure I can describe what a difference it made to my life. The course itself is love in action. Getting more in touch with nature, getting more in touch with your own soul. There’s an online forum to connect with others. Stunningly gorgeous photographs. Beautiful and insightful writings. Healing and nourishing recorded meditations. Jackie and Jason are lovely people who have put together a lovely e-course.

Each day I went outside, my bare feet on mama earth, and I took 100 breaths.

Calming. Centering. Grouding.

Healing.

Even after the e-course ended, I went outdoors and did my barefoot breathing outside until sometime in November, when the chill finally drove me inside. (I am not someone who tolerates cold temperatures very well!) I’d been determined that I would continue the practice even inside, standing by a window or the full-glass patio door… but I didn’t keep up with it very well. Most days during the cooler months I did other kinds of meditations instead. (I tend to vary the types of meditation practice I do anyway, and I don’t hold myself to any strict “should’s” when it comes to this.)

Warm weather arrived here again in March. And I headed outside again to put my bare feet on the bare earth… and breathe. Taking those slow, relaxing 100 breaths.

Sure, my mind wanders. But I just let the thoughts float by. I bring my mind back to the breath and don’t beat myself up for having thoughts come into my head. Emotions can come up too – but I believe that happens because those emotions need to be cleared, and healed.

So I’m back to my practice of barefoot breathing.

This nourishing, nurturing, gentle, loving way to connect to self and mama earth.

This healing practice of grounding, coming to center, finding inner harmony.

If you’re interested in registering, details are here.

Even if you don’t sign up for the e-course, I hope you’ll take some time to go outside in the fresh air, bare feet to the ground (if you can, and if it’s not too cold where you are right now).

And then just… breathe. Not the shallow breaths we too often take, but truly breathing, nice and deep and slow. Getting calmed, getting centered, getting grounded, coming into the balance that exists inside of you at your core.

Breathe…

In my last post, I talked a lot about inner harmony. I’m writing about it again now, because it’s on my mind.

Having a sense of inner harmony, inner peace, inner balance… we can have this even when our outer lives look far from balanced. And the opposite is true too – our outer lives might look fabulous and calm and under control to others, while our insides and our energy body are rattling and rumbling and in an uproar.

Having inner harmony doesn’t mean living in some totally blissed-out state, or in some sort of numb ball of cotton. It means feeling - but if what we feel is off-balance, or unwelcome, or scary, or hard, it means finding our way back to our center. And at our center, we can find our calm again.

It can take a while to do that, sometimes.

And sometimes we need to do all we can to find our inner balance.

It might mean energy work or massage or other holistic methods. It might mean finding the answers to those questions we all have… and finding the answers which are unique to you.

It might mean connecting more to creativity. Or connecting more to spirituality. Or connecting more to self.

It might mean spending more time with others and less time with work.

It might mean pulling inward for a while, pulling back and away from the happenings or the people contributing to the unease.

Whatever it takes, however it happens, we do what we need to do to regain our inner peace and harmony. For our own well-being. For our own self-care.

And when we know we can return to that inner calm, we can ride any waves that come.

A couple of months ago, someone asked me to describe – in a very short way, one or two words – what is the essence of my business? What is Subtle Harmony about?

“Energy,” I said, without hesitation.

After all, energy is a huge part of all the work I do… Reiki. Other energy healing. Crystals. Aromatherapy. Sound healing. Intuitive messages. Thoughts. Words.

They’re all energy.

But a couple of hours after that conversation, it hit me. Yes, I work with energy. But the essence of Subtle Harmony, what this business is all about, what my work is all about… is harmony.

I even took a look at my Welcome page for this site, reading again the words I wrote months ago when getting the site content ready. Sure enough, it’s right there…

Subtle Harmony is all about helping you discover just what the name says… harmony. Harmony within your being. Harmony within your soul.

It’s about inner and energetic balance. Peace and wellness. Holistic and healing vibrations.

It’s about living with less stress and anxiety. Discovering and using tools that can help you remove and move past blocks.

I gently help you with this by using energy, vibrations and frequencies, intention, spirituality, and creativity.

Whether it’s the energy of crystals and stones, aromatherapy and essential oils, sound, color, meditation tools, chakra balancing, Reiki and other energy work, symbols, thoughts, words… it’s all about coming into inner harmony. Inner balance.

What I strive for with the work I do is that connection to inner harmony. Things can seem whacked-out and off-balance in your outer world, but if you can connect to an inner sense of harmony and peace… it can make all the difference.

With my work here, I try to help with that by energy sessions that help the energetic body, the subtle body, come into balance and harmony. I use intuition – with intuitive consultations and oracle readings (although intuition also is part of the energy work too) – to help people gain clarity or affirmation or validation… things that help feel more of that inner harmony inside.

Whether it’s reading words I’ve written in an ebook, or wearing a piece of jewelry I’ve put together, or using a meditation chain I’ve crafted… I want these things to have meaning and symbolism, and help you connect to a sense of inner peace and harmony.

That’s what it all comes back to here. And in my work.

Inner harmony. Inner peace.

It was wanting and needing to find and connect to my own inner harmony and inner peace that brought me to energy work to begin with. All the things I do here – Reiki, crystals, aromatherapy, chakra work, jewelry, meditation chains – I first did them to help myself.

And I still do these things, and use these tools, to help myself. I also seek out others who can help me stay connected to my inner harmony and peace. I give myself Reiki – but I also get Reiki treatments and energy work from other practitioners. I wear meaningful and symbolic jewelry I’ve made for myself – but I also purchase jewelry made by others, jewelry that has meaning and symbolism for me. I do oracle readings for myself, and use my own intuition and spirituality heavily in my daily life – but I also hire the services of others to do readings and consultations for me.

I do these things for myself – and I offer these things in the work I do – because of the feeling I want to have, and help others have. Inner harmony. Inner peace.

I want to feel that way myself – and I want to help others feel that way too. I know very well how it feels to not have inner harmony… and, quite frankly, it can totally suck.

Last week, over at My Mosaic Life, Angel wrote a blog post called wanting what i want. At the end of her post, she asked her readers to share what we’d want if we were free to want. My response didn’t include a list of things – although I probably have partial lists scattered around the house, and I’m sure a list exists in my head. My comment basically said that my list would boil down to things that make me feel a certain way. Happy. Joyful. Those good things.

And those good things, for me, include feeling inner harmony. Harmony and peace with my life, with my self, that can exist no matter what else might be going on to throw me off-balance.

Yesterday, I picked up my copy of Danielle LaPorte’s The Fire Starter Sessions, to start reading where I’d left off. For several reasons, I’ve been reading this book in bite-sized chunks, not rushing through.

I read a few pages, turned the page, and there it was: How do you want to feel?

I turned another page and read this:

Knowing how you actually want to feel is the most potent form of clarity that you can have.

Generating those feelings is the most creative thing you can do with your life.

Yes. Exactly.

That’s why I do this work.

And that’s what Subtle Harmony is about… getting to that place, that feeling, of inner harmony.

It’s been a while since I’ve talked about what’s happening in my Etsy shop. And since things there are in the process of shifting a bit, I decided to mention some of what’s happening.

My goal is for the items I make and offer to be things that represent to you – in a tangible, meaningful, holistic, and symbolic way – the energy of the crystals and stones, the balancing and aligning of your chakras, the energy of words and thought and symbols, or the healing benefits of meditation.

These are things that can offer connection to your inner harmony and inner energetic balance… whether it’s by a reminder, by touch, or by the energy of crystals and stones.

A quick note first… The Subtle Harmony ArtFire shop re-opened a few weeks ago, after being in vacation mode since early August. It has some of the same items that are available in the Etsy shop, but not all.

Anyway… back to news about the Subtle Harmony Etsy shop. You can always visit my shop page here on the site to see a sample of items currently in the shop, but I wanted to point out some special things.

First of all, there are several items available again that haven’t been available in the shop for several months.

Like the grounding bracelet set – one bracelet of black obsidian, another of snowflake obsidian.

And a popular chakra bracelet with spiral healing hand is back.

Several former necklace are back, along with some new ones like this amethyst-in-a-cage.

I’ve also brought back some – although not all – of my crystal therapy kits. These kits have stones and crystals inside a pouch I’ve hand-stitched from dupioni silk. The kits also include a printed handout, a few pages long, giving information about the chakra the kit relates to, information about each stone included in the kit, and tips and suggestions for ways to use the kit. Here are a couple of them that have returned to the shop:

One shift taking place in the shop is that I’ll be focusing less on jewelry, especially the stretch bracelets, and focusing more on other chakra-related items and also meditation items. There will still be a core selection of bracelets and necklaces, but gradually I’ll be adding more and more meditation chains similar to these:

So those are some of the current happenings in the Etsy shop, and an idea about how the focus is shifting a bit.

I’d love for you to visit my Etsy shop and check things out anytime. And as I mentioned… although my ArtFire shop doesn’t have as much in stock right now as my Etsy shop, it’s finally open again!

Thanks so much for stopping by. ♥

A lot has been happening, internally and externally. Learning, shifting perspectives, gaining clarity, making decisions, implementing changes.

Some of these are related to Subtle Harmony, and are reflected by certain changes here…

A page with information about what to expect when working with me.

A new kind of distant energy session, in addition to Reiki and chakra balancing sessions.

New goodies for folks who sign up for the newsletter (and for those who were already subscribers, the same offer holds for you – details were in the newsletter you received on Wednesday… and if you didn’t see it, just contact me for info).

Some other changes have happened on the site too… and there’s more on the way.

Other shifts and clarity-gaining moments have been more on the internal side – although even those find their way here to Subtle Harmony in some way or another, even if on a barely-noticeable scale, because the work I do is so closely tied to who I am.

There have been reminders of the importance of things like extreme self-care, and grounding, and taking time for meditation.

There’s been a lovely flow of creativity and creative play.

The bottom line is, basically, there’s been a TON of inner work, self-work, going on.

Something that helps me integrate this inner work, and all the changes and shifts taking place, is to spend some time outside.

Now that our weather is warm again, I’ve returned to my barefoot breathing – going outside, bare feet on the earth, closing my eyes, and taking one hundred breaths. This is a lovely, calming, healing practice I started when I took the absolutely beautiful Barefoot Breathing e-course.

After I’ve done my breathing meditation I’ll usually stay outside for a while, sometimes for short bit and sometimes for a lot longer. I’ll read. Or do some yard work. Or walk around.

But sometimes – especially on days when there’s been a bunch of inner work and shifting going on, and I need some time to let everything integrate and have space to settle… I’ll simply sit outside… listen to the birds… feel the fresh breeze…

And just look at the sky and the sunlight shining through the trees.

There are times when we need to take a break from the work – inner or outer – and simply be.

I’m incredibly excited to be interviewing crystal teacher extraordinaire Hibiscus Moon on the blog today!

One afternoon last July, I happened to pop into an online forum that I hadn’t visited in ages. I checked the thread on crystals, curious to see what had been posted. I’ve taken several crystal healing courses over the years, and some of my Reiki training included crystal healing. I also use crystals and stones heavily with my crafts in my Etsy shop and the energy work I do.

I love the subject… so I couldn’t resist stopping by that part of the forum.

I saw a post by someone who simply said something like “this person has classes that sound great and I want to take one when I have time” … and there was a link to Hibiscus Moon’s website.

Of course I clicked the link right away to see what it was all about.

Well, following that link ranks as one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Immediately, I enrolled in Hibiscus Moon’s Crystal Healer Certification Program and I started taking classes.

Thanks to her wonderful self and her fabulous program, I have found and connected with so many awesome people, places, courses, experiences – I’m not kidding, enrolling in her program led to a series of events that changed and enriched my life in incredible ways.

Her classes are AMAZING! They’re online and they are totally jam-packed with information, showing the science behind the metaphysical properties of crystals and stones. She also has a wonderful book about crystal grids. And her site has some lovely gifties.

Today I’m thrilled to have Hibiscus Moon here for an interview – welcome, Hibiscus Moon! Let’s get to the questions…

There are so many crystals and stones – and so much information available online and in books about crystals – it can feel like a lot for someone who is new to all of this! For someone who might be brand new to the world of crystals, how would you suggest they get started?

I suggest a beginners crystal set consisting of 1 of each: clear crystal quartz, amethyst, rose quartz, green aventurine & citrine. These are all quartz stones so they are non-toxic (for making gem elixirs) & with this gorgeous color array you pretty much have all issues covered & relatively inexpensively too.

When using crystals and stones, does it matter if they are tumbled or not?

It depends on what you’re using them for. I generally like to stick with raw or natural crystals AND BIGGER IS BETTER! However, if I’m making a gem elixir or need something small for a mojo bag then it’s usually tumbled pieces.

I have some crystal wands I love to use. Would you mention some benefits of using crystal wands?

Certainly. There are 2 types of wands; energy wands & massage wands. Energy wands are meant to direct energy with their point. This is how energy naturally flows within the molecules of the wand if it’s a natural piece. You can use an energy wand to do healing on someone or to direct energy into a space or to activate a crystal grid.

Massage wands have a rounded tip & are usually cut & polished. They’re meant for direct contact with the skin & you can get some really great deep relaxing energy directed into the body with these.

Is it okay to use any combination of crystals, or are there some crystals that simply should *not* be used together? (and if so, do you know if there’s a list available online?)

There aren’t any crystals that “don’t get along” & would cause havoc or anything. They’re all Mother Earth’s children. However, you may have 2 crystals that have opposite energies that just wouldn’t make much sense to use together. For instance, carnelian is good as an energy-booster, while blue lace agate is for calming. Trying to work with both of them together would cause some energetic confusion depending on what the user’s intention was. That always comes into play too.

At Subtle Harmony, there’s a lot of emphasis on connecting to our inner harmony and inner peace. Are there certain crystals you recommend for this?

Oh! I really like celestite, amazonite & stilbite for this. That would make a pretty combo too!

What about insomnia or bad dreams – are there crystals you suggest?

Yes, lepidolite for insomnia & charoite to soothe someone having bad dreams. These both work great together as well.

Also, does it matter how far away the crystals are while sleeping?

Yes, because everything has an energy torus of frequency around it. If you want the frequencies of those crystals to interact with your energy torus then those 2 fields need to interact. So, especially if these stone you’re working with are small, I would put them into a little bag right into the pillow case. Get them as close as possible. If they’re a bit larger specimens then having them on the nightstand nearby should work fine.

Are there crystals that are especially helpful to use when meditating?

Lately, I’ve been recommending Auralite 23 for this. It can help anyone to focus during meditation & helps even the least sensitive to receive messages from their meditations.

Grounding is very important… what crystals do you recommend for this?

I recommend a few things to keep grounded (not all crystals *gasp!*):

Black tourmaline is my go to stone for this. Hematite is also great! In fact, I have what I call My Sacred Grounding Trio: black tourmaline, smokey quartz & hematite!
Do lots of Earthing (check out that book on Amazon!) Earthing is absolutely amazing! Get barefoot & go outside!!! The Ultimate in Grounding. Your feet are meant to connect with Mother Earth! That’s why animals are so well grounded & in-tune. They’re always barefoot!
Working on your root chakra. Many of us have an unbalanced root that needs attention. Try some red jasper for this.
Blizzard stone is also great for balancing energies & grounding.
Unplug & try to get away from electronic EMF’s

When we’re buying crystals online, do you have any tips for how we can know if we’re ordering good quality stones?

Get a recommendation or look for lots of good feedback from other buyers. And once you find a seller you trust, stick with them & build a relationship.

Do you have a personal all-time favorite crystal?

I always get asked this & it’s always changing. Right now it’s my Auralite 23 wand. But you know, as things change & new situations arise, my crystal needs will change too. But I truly love them all!

Thank you SO much!!!

My total pleasure!!

Every so often I do a meditation where I meet with my inner-goddess wise-woman self. Sometimes these come as part of guided meditations I’m listening to, and sometimes I just head off inside my own head, silently, to meet with that part of my self.

She usually has a lot to tell me. Things I need to know. Things I need to remember.

A few weeks ago, her main message to me was: Go with the flow.

I wanted to make sure I understood correctly, so I checked with her again. But the message was clear… Go with the flow. Let yourself flow. Give into the flow. It will make everything so much easier.

I can’t say I was surprised to be reminded of this. I’m not always good at going with the flow. I sometimes struggle with the way things are flowing and going, and I can struggle against allowing the flow to simply… happen. Sometimes I resist, even fight, the flow.

But during this particular meditation, my inner-goddess wise-woman self gently used nature to illustrate the point she wanted me to remember. It was a very simple message but it’s one I’ve been reminding myself of ever since that meditation.

Earth.

Think of a strong tree, she told me, rooted to the ground, solid and firm – but if it cannot bend, that tree will break. Allow yourself to flow as the branches of a tree move with the changing winds.

Air.

Think of the air, she said, always around you, around everything… moving as well as allowing for movement. Does the air resist you when you walk across the room? No – it moves, it flows, and allows other movement to occur. And the air itself, as the wind, flows as it will – gently or mightily… but flow it does.

Fire.

And think of fire, she pointed out. Think of the way the flames move and dance. Would there be fire or flame at all if there was no flow?

Water.

You probably know what’s next, she said. (And she was right, I saw where she was headed.) Think of the water. The flow of a river, a creek, a stream. The flow of an ocean’s tide. Allow yourself to flow as the water does. If the water did not flow, there would be no ocean, no bubbling brook.

Let life flow.

If you allow the flow, things will go easier for you. Let life flow. Don’t resist so much, just… flow.

It was a simple meditation, a short time with this part of myself (who is always so kind to me, even at times when I’m not being so kind to myself).

And as I said, it was a simple message.

But it was a message I needed to be reminded of, a message I need to remember. A message I need to take to heart.

It’s Wishcasting Wednesday at Jamie Ridler Studios and her question today is this…

What do you wish to experience?

Several things passed through my mind at first. I’d like to experience more joy. More happiness. More abundance. More good health. More fun times. More laughter. More of the work I enjoy. More love. More connection. More beauty.

Basically, all the wonderful things of life are things I wish to experience more of.

So I stopped and asked myself the question from a very specific angle…

What do you wish you could be experiencing RIGHT NOW if there were no limitations?

And my RIGHT-NOW answer for what I wish I could be experiencing is … I wish I could be experiencing being at the beach. Right now. Today. Me. At the beach.

The beach is my soul-home. Water in general calls to me, pulls to me, calms me. Being near a lake will make me happy. But being at the beach… well, that’s where my spirit really sings the loudest.

The waves – hearing them, watching them. The vast expansiveness of it all.

Being at the beach nourishes my soul and my spirit. It feeds my creativity. It helps me feel even more connected to Divine Spirit.

I feel more me at the beach. I feel more open. More alive.

But… right now I live several hours away from the nearest beach, so I’m not able to experience being there today or this week. I’m not sure when we’ll make our next beach trip.

I have a couple of beach DVDs that are nothing but beach scenes – no music, no people, nothing but nature… the waves, the water, the sand, the birds.

Maybe I’ll pop one of them into the DVD player today. It won’t be the same as actually being at the beach… but it’s a taste.

Today my inbox had an email from Danielle LaPorte with her next installment in The Burning Question Series… and when I saw the question I knew right away I wanted to blog about it, even though I wasn’t planning to blog today.

(But that happens with me a lot – I don’t exactly follow a schedule when it comes to blogging.)

The Burning Question: What’s your relationship to excitement?

The truth is, excitement and I often have an uneasy relationship. I love it, and at times I totally embrace it… and yet at other times I’m scared of it.

I’ve mentioned in other posts (and also on my About page) that I’ve had my struggles with anxiety over the years, even to the point of being agoraphobic for a period of time in the 1990s when I was in my early-mid 30s. During that time of severe anxiety, something shifted in my relationship to excitement.

I still got excited about things. Little things like having my favorite takeout meal for supper. Bigger things like selling a short story. Seeing a hummingbird, eating the first plums of the season, opening a new CD – all provided moments of excitement.

But as fear took a strong hold of my life, I became afraid of looking forward to things and I became afraid of getting too excited… because if I looked forward to something too much, or if I got too excited about something, then it seemed only natural that my disappointment would be bigger if the something didn’t happen.

Or another aspect was this: My fear and anxiety tried to make me believe that if I felt really excited about something that was happening, then it would be followed by something else – and the “something else” would be really bad.

It was as though I became afraid of some kind of punishment – a big ol’ smack-down – if I felt really excited.

That’s one of the things my fear and anxiety did to me.

A lot of time has passed since those years. My relationship to excitement has shifted back to being more the way it was before that period in my life… I have more times again of being happy about excitement, embracing it, welcoming it into my life, wanting it.

And yet.

I still have times when I’m afraid of it. Afraid that I’ll be excited only to end up severely disappointed. Afraid that if I’m feeling too excited (the fabulous-happy-I’m-so-excited-on-top-of-the-world excited!!) the rug will be pulled out from under me, and I’ll get the big smack-down to remind me I’m feeling too big for my britches.

Because that’s the thing… that’s where this comes from. It’s the feeling I sometimes have that I don’t deserve to be excited about something. I don’t deserve to feel that way.

It’s an old, old message.

Thankfully, it’s a message that doesn’t have me in its grip the way it did for a long time.

But sometimes it rises up again, giving me a nudge when I’m feeling excited, telling me to watch out because excitement just might end up biting me in the butt.

So, yeah. My relationship with excitement can be… uneasy.

What about your relationship to excitement?

I’ve procrastinated for days about writing this post. And the reason? Those old self-critical monsterettes in my mind.

Last week I added a new offering on the site, something that combines an oracle reading and mini energy session all in one. My plan was to write a short blog post about it within a day or two of adding it to the site. But the day or two passed, and then the weekend passed, and I almost decided to just forget about doing a blog on the oracle ‘n energy session and blog about something else instead.

But… the only reason I hadn’t blogged about it was because of my inner critical voice, the one whispering in my mind you shouldn’t.

You shouldn’t try to promote or market - just who do you think you are?

(Never mind that less than a month ago I blogged about my new e-book. And sometimes I blog about stuff I’ve got in my Etsy shop. I mean, geez, it’s not like I never blog about things I’m offering for sale.)

It’s true that I don’t feel comfortable with marketing and promotion. I’m even trying to decide on a phrase or different words that won’t make my internal self-doubts so loud and rambunctious. Because, obviously, my self-critical monsterettes get riled up at the idea of promoting my stuff. Promoting me.

Maybe that’s the problem… promoting my stuff feels like promoting me because – well, because my work is so intertwined with who I am. So it feels scary. And vulnerable. And even, sometimes, like I shouldn’t.

I know I’m not the only one who feels like this now and then.

I know I’m not the only one who can feel uncomfortable about things like promoting and marketing what we have to offer and share.

But still, those monsterettes in my mind can be loud, you know?

So I’ve had a little chat with them. And now I’m writing this blog post to tell you that I have a new offering available on the site, called Oracle ‘n Energy, that combines a 3-card reading (using a chakra/Reiki tarot deck) with a short distant energy session geared specifically to what comes up in your reading.

If you’re interested, you can find out the details here.

Thanks for stopping by. ♥
