Throat chakra:
ā­ļøCenter of karma
- because it is the center of choice + illness
- keeping word to ourselves + others
ā­ļøWindow to the expression of our soul
- Yin function: attune to receiving guidance + information
- Yang function: expressing + voicing our truths
ā­ļøCenter of Clairaudience
- Receiving auditory information psychically from spirit guides + messages through people
ā­ļøUseful for manifesting self protection
- If you feel you are creatively blocked this week like I do, now is a good time to manifest protection and do meditation on your sacral chakra.

Physiological problems that can occur when the throat chakra is misaligned:
- Throat, jaw, or tonsil problems
- Oral addictions
- Compulsive talking
- Overindulgence on eating and/or smoking.

Psychological fears:
- Will power
- Strength
- Self knowledge

These stem from not speaking your truth, or holding something back.

Prioritize meditation + yoga. Participate in things that rejuvenate your energy. Find outlets to express yourself creatively.
If you have clairaudience - you may have retrocognition or precognition this week of what thoughts have been thought toward you so pay as good of attention as my Jojo girl does.

#444: Divine protection

This upcoming weekend is Summer Solstice
& Father’s Day.

I met Lil’ man & Mora about a month ago when I took care of their household while their parents got married. They have a great cat dad. And I quote ā€œI don’t worry about anything in the world but those damn cats.ā€ despite there also being dogs in the house šŸ˜‚šŸ«¶

Summer solstice: Celebration of Light ā˜€ļø
It’s a highly empathetic + compassionate time. You may feel fiercely protective of loved ones. If you have been planting seeds + doing shadow work - it is time for the harvest 🌾 I just quantum leaped! Did you?

Spiritual harvest: The culmination of your efforts, patience, and faith. You reap what you sow.

Quantum leap: A sudden, radical shift in consciousness. Signs include: purging, craving solitude, releasing control, sudden shift in values.

šŸ’• The heart chakra: Produces an electromagnetic field 5,000 times more powerful than the brain.

āž”ļø Heart-Brain Coherence: Research indicates that feelings of love and compassion activate a measurable electrical connection between the heart and the brain. This communication regulates the nervous system, helping to shift the brain out of "fight or flight" mode into a state of healing and restoration.

It has to do with: relationship to self, what we give to the world, what we receive from the world + feeling worthy of it.

It communicates physical + emotional needs through physical sensations like heart pain. Heart burn would be a good example.

When your heart chakra is open - you are open to your blessings, abundance, and opportunities. When you love yourself, that energy is attracted back to you by others and by the universe. šŸ’« Your existence enough is worthy. Your worth is not measured by what you achieve on paper, own materialistically, or produce. It is easy to get into the habit of overworking and then overindulging.

Break outdated ways of thinking to overcome obstacles and to be further aligned with your purpose. Be weary of developing a scarcity mindset in the process.

Misalignment malfunctions: Addictions to sugar, inability to let go of finished relationships - can manifest physiologically in forms of heart and circulatory disorders, as well as disrupted sleep patterns due to blockages from jealously, bitterness, or inability to forgive one’s self or others.

To put into alignment:
- Eat a heart healthy diet
- Go walking by a big body of water
- Feel feelings + let them go rather than letting them fester
- Wear rose quartz
- Meditate
- Breath work
- Yoga (Kundalini yoga if you want to focus on energy work as well as movement)
- Holistic healing practitioners: Guided energy work for spiritual wellness

The sacral chakra is the underlying theme this week to the heart chakra. The sacral chakra mostly influences pleasure, creativity, + self worth. It will be really important to cleanse your energy during this week!

Because an open heart chakra brings in opportunities and abundance -
Be hyper vigilant of your boundaries at this time. It is the time of year where there will be a separation between light and dark.

Dark: hurting other people to gain, or liking to use spirituality maliciously.

People aligned in the dark have no way to get influence or abundance. They are spiritually bankrupt so they feed off of good/light energy from others. They tend to show up most when you are in alignment for your blessings.

It will be important to meditate + cleanse during this week. If you are feeling shaken up, overwhelmed, fatigued, or like you are going to emotionally snap - make note if it is your energy or not. Knowledge is power and being able to know is the first step.

Meditation could include:
- Sound frequencies: 639 hz, 417 hz
- Mantras: Yam, vam
- Colors: Pink, green, orange
- Crystals: Rose quartz, Amazonite, Amber, Moonstone, Tiger’s eye
- Affirmations: I love myself to the fullest. I deserve love and to be loved. I am willing to be happy now. I attract people who treat me with respect. I honor my sacred sensuality. I let my creativity flow. I know my self worth and will not settle for less than I deserve. I am authentic and secure in myself.

Make your main dominant focal point of your vibration within your aura peace + harmony.
Stay humble but know your worth.

Galatians 5:22-23 - The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control; against such things there is no law.

1 Corinthians 13:4 - Patience is a by-product of love

If you do it for God & yourself - He has an infinite number of unseen ways to reward you. If you do it to impress man, of course you will be clawing for glory.

Call back your energy + protect your light to be sure you stay in alignment. I’ll be taking a chunk of the week off to be sure I’m taking care of my spiritual hygiene & doing detailed cleansing. Join me!

6/11
Snowy and Indy went swimming in the creek with me today. Snowy loved swimming so much more than I imagined she would. I also love swimming and am super excited for the Summer. It’s fun to have dogs with me that love water. She has had a deformity in her eye since she was born. She’s basically blind on her left but can fully see on her right. You could say - she sees shadows in the left and light in the right. 😁 Even with her blind eye, she is fully capable of seeing enough to manage herself.

We blink about 20-25 times every minute. Some people go through life with their eyes closed. They look but they don’t really see - even if they have full capability. Focusing on images, not issues. Observing surfaces but omitting the underneath. It’s a lack of perception.

If you remove insight, life can be filled with boredom. Those without insight live in the obvious…the essentials. It’s a lack of depth.

Not to be critical of those who cannot go deeper but maybe of those who can but refuse to.

Inability vs. Refusal
āž”ļø Inability: The state of lacking the power, capacity, resources, or skill required to do something.
āž”ļø Refusal: The act of denying a request, rejecting an offer, or expressing an unwillingness to do, accept, or allow something.

Take a look at where you’re going in life.
Evaluate:
āž”ļø Your mentality
āž”ļø Your relationships
āž”ļø Your kids
āž”ļø Your own future
Are you happy, challenged, and fulfilled? Is life taking you to satisfaction? Are you investing in God & yourself? Are you showing proper value systems to your children?

Open your eyes & think. There’s a big difference between necessary blinking and unnecessary blindness. Don’t let your eyes be so ingrown that you see two of everything but God! šŸ™

The most damaging impact of self-pity is the ultimate end. Are you feeling sorry for yourself today?

God’s remedy:
āž”ļø Mental rest
āž”ļø Well balanced diet
āž”ļø Pray
āž”ļø Quality time with a friend

Do these things and you will be able to say ā€œI have not lived in vain.ā€

Vain: having an excessive, unwarranted pride in one's own appearance or abilities, or performing an action that is unsuccessful, useless, or producing no result.

Meditate on your third eye:
Sound frequency: 852 Hz
Mantra: Om
Color: Indigo/Purple
Crystals: Labradorite, Lapis lazuli, Tigers eye
Affirmations: I use my intuition wisely. I am in tune with my higher self.

Proverbs 30:7-9 is a well known prayer for integrity. It asks for freedom from deceit and requests a balanced life.

Integrity: The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles.

Lenny + Simmy
My new kitty cat house

Lenny the big blue boy was given to his mommy as an anniversary gift. In their decades of marriage they have 3 children, 5 grandchildren, so many memories, and share a big love for animals. Being a petsitter can be very personable. As much as I learn the animal’s history, I learn a lot about their family. I see them go through happy, sad, troublesome, worrisome, celebratory, stagnant, and wish fulfilling times. In every moment it is an honor to help take care of their animals and relieve stress for them to enjoy their real life moments.

Marriage anniversaries entail a lot to them.

1. Memories: Good & bad, funny & painful - yet all of them stapled into a couple’s journey. An anniversary says don’t forget the memories, they are imperishable.

2. Changes: Decades, sometimes even days, don’t go by without natural change in several major areas of life and having to figure out how to navigate them. An anniversary says to be thankful for the changes as they are important.

3. Dependence: Marriage will teach you that it is okay to depend on someone. Mainly for: support, discernment, counsel, love, presence and efficiency. To be well aware of each other’s moods & needs. To hear each other’s secrets & keep them well. To know your own faults and to forgive. To feel each other’s failures and to be encouraged through them. An anniversary says you don’t have to make it on your own. Your partner is irreplaceable.

4. Dreams: What you anticipate as a couple, then watch as God puts his hands in to help pull it off while leading you to work hard to make it happen. An anniversary says the dreams you go after and have victory in together are intimate accomplishments.

Marriages can be challenging. Life without challenge is not exciting. It’s stagnant.

If you are in a healthy relationship and have not expressed to your partner lately how much you depend on them non-materialistically, and in what ways they help lead you out of the dark then I encourage you to do so. There’s an intimate vulnerability in admitting fear & wrongdoing, sharing hurt, setting boundaries & expectations, and expressing love. How will they know if you don’t express it?

The love between two in a marriage trickles down to the rest of the home just the same as toxicity does. Animals & children are feeling & watching. Let’s show them harmony. After all - I did just write about harmony in the home. Simmy + Lenny have two birds that sing to me. šŸ¦œšŸŽ¶

Third eye chakra: Intuition, inner wisdom, higher consciousness

New moon in Gemini: Speak your truth, start a new hobby, socialize + reconnect

Angel #444: Fulfill your dreams. Divinely protected.

The harmony of a home plays its own melody. It’s practiced and perfected. šŸŽ¶

Training in the home is the most important part of a dog’s upbringing. Everybody in the household has to be on the same page in order for this to work and training has to be continuous rather than one and done. The dog’s walk out song should sound more like instrumental lullabies rather than Limp Biskit’s ā€œBreak Stuffā€ - and let’s be honest, a better behaved dog brings a lot less stress inside of the home - they won’t be breaking stuff and you won’t want to break stuff. It’s important to be mindful of our mentality while we are training dogs.

Authentic happiness: encouragement to participate in creative activities, relaxed relationships that plant memories and deepen roots, freedom + laughter.
The world outside of the family circle is dark. When the light goes out within, the darkness spreads. Many people live quiet lives of depression. Humans like to run faster and really go against the grain when we have lost our way. There are people everywhere still running & searching to find inner satisfaction. Most people find instant gratification instead.

āž”ļø Inner satisfaction: A steady, enduring sense of fulfillment that builds over time through commitment, self-control, and purpose. It comes from within rather than from external validation or material rewards.
āž”ļø Instant gratification: The urge to seek immediate pleasure or fulfillment without delay, often prioritizing short-term rewards over long-term goals.

Examples of instant gratification:
1. Alcohol
2. Drugs
3. S*x
4. Sugar
5. Caffeine
6. Digital habits
7. Impulse spending
8. External validation

The tolerance cycle: Because of the intensity of instant highs, our brains adapt by reducing natural dopamine receptors over time. People might need more of a substance—or higher risk sexual or spending behaviors—to achieve the same level of gratification.

Impulsive decision making: Seeking repeated immediate gratification alters brain circuitry and erodes inhibitions, which can lead to impulsivity.

Rather than being impulsive try to be spontaneous.

āž”ļø Spontaneity: Driven by joy and mindfulness.
āž”ļø Impulsivity: Reactive urge that often ignores negative consequences.

ā€œYou will break the bow if you keep it always bent.ā€ Loosen the strings, have some leisure.

There’s more to life than hard work. But make sure you do work hard, and then play. Your play should not trump levels of commitments (hard work) that you have made to yourself and others - spiritually, mentally, and physically. If you do what you love and surround yourself with people that you love - you never have to work hard a day in your life. The harmonies you will sing with your new melody are so worth it and will eventually equate to/feel like play. Just like a working dog. A working dog would rather be working than playing mindlessly for the rest of its life. A working dog that is committed to its job earns high reward + freedom. Play cannot be forgotten for the brain’s sake but should also be organized rather than over stimulating.

Fun fact: Dogs harmonize when they howl together but the main goal is trying not to match each other’s pitch in order to broadcast their unique identity šŸŗšŸŽµ

The throat chakra:
Communication, self expression, the ability to speak your truth

Angel numbers:
1010 - fresh start
1212 - mindset shift

Meditation could include:
Sound frequency - 741 hz and/or 384 hz
Mantra - Ham
Color - Blue
Crystals - Clear quartz, lapis lazuli, turquoise, citrine

All of my doggies in continuous training to be in harmony with their households. They are greeting in instrumental lullaby fashion lately, they’re quiet 🤫

3ļøāƒ£3ļøāƒ£3ļøāƒ£ Rule 🐶

Many dogs I see are rescue dogs. When I meet them it is most important for me to know as much as their past as possible so I can better understand how to handle them. Sometimes I am told detail for detail and other times I slowly have to try to figure it out based off of their behavior. Trauma, training techniques, coddling, nurture, influence, and environment all have a funny way of shaping a dog just like humans. When bringing home a new rescue dog it is important to keep in mind the timing in which they adapt to their new environment & families.

šŸ“The first 3 days (decompression)
āž”ļøTo expect: anxiety - hiding, pacing, refusal to eat, either overly clingy or wants to be left completely alone.
āž”ļøTo do: Offer a safe space.

šŸ“The first 3 weeks (adjustment)
āž”ļøTo expect: They begin to feel more comfortable & understand routine. Will more than likely start to test boundaries and/or act out.
āž”ļøTo do: Establish clear routine & boundaries, start obedience training.

šŸ“The first 3 months (building trust & bonding)
āž”ļøTo expect: Their total personality to show, a strong bond to form. They understand & rely on routine.
āž”ļøTo do: Continue to build confidence by safely exposing them to new situations.

Many rescue dogs come into new great homes that take care of them with a type of unconditional love that they’ve never received. Their parents have the patience for the adjustment period as well as continuous training and exposure. Finding the right way to nurture and communicate with them, and spending quality time with them are a few things that matter most.

Ceres in Gemini: Nurture through communication. If you can’t spend time with people, find creative ways to communicate. Don’t forget to find ways to nurture yourself as well so you are able to be open.

#333: Express yourself, pursue creative projects

Pura Vida ā˜€ļø

I was really surprised when my Memorial Day weekend was filled with cats instead of dogs. It seemed like a little mini break. Cats are much more simple than dogs when it comes to care taking; however - I do believe they could be smarter, and a little more instinctual.

They are peculiar; they know what they want, when they want it, and exactly how. The majority aren’t quite as social as my doggy friends. They tend to be on their own terms. The boss of their own life and everybody else’s in the house. I think we could learn a few lessons in the simplicity of cats.

Simplicity: in between just enough and too much, the difference between concentrated and diluted.

Within a few weeks, we are soon leaving the season of renewal (spring) + entering the season of rest (summer).

Full moon will be in Sagittarius at the end of the week: Embrace wanderlust. Release mental blocks that keep us thinking small + stop us from seeing bigger pictures. Trust intuition. Take leaps of faith.

The Root Chakra
The Heart Chakra

711: Trust your intuition
911: Wake up call from spirit guides
23: March to the beat of your own drum

Pura Vida: represents a way of living that emphasizes gratitude, community, and enjoying life's simple pleasures while brushing off stress and negativity.

Cats are great at taking on negative energy. They absorb it from their surroundings and transmute it when they sleep. The frequency of their purrs are healing. The sounds and vibrations are known to reduce stress and lower blood pressure in humans along with other therapeutic implications.

I have been pretty biased toward my cat over the years, not going to lie. This weekend opened up my mind a little more. Although I will always be a dog girl at heart, cats are slowly seeping their way in. I actually think my personality is more like a cat’s than any specific dog breeds. Lol.

Live life like a cat this week. Make it clear. Make it simple. Forget about going over board to impress. Emphasize essentials. Pick your people. Protect your energy. Go after what you want. Get in a good cat nap (if napping is your cup of tea) šŸ’¤ ā¤ļø

Did you know? "When a fight occurs, damage to the relationship between the dogs can be difficult to repair," explains veterinary behaviorist Christine Calder in an article for Veterinary Information Network.

If you are unable to therefore successfully resolve the situation, the problem will progress with each subsequent exposure. In a nutshell, rehearsal strengthens the neural pathway.Every repeated excitement-related fight makes future fights more likely.

This is basic neuroplasticity: ā€œNeurons that fire together wire together.ā€

Furthermore, after repeated episodes, a dog's arousal levels rises faster, recovery takes long, dogs anticipate conflict soon, and triggers generalize. Eventually, the mere prediction of excitement itself can trigger tension itself!
