Refilling my energy well is similar to a psychedelic experience for me
Tune inward to be able to share outwards
I’m in the midst of a transition - I have no idea where it’s leading me - except I do know it’s towards an energy, a life that I have been dreaming up.
To be honest, to arrive in the rooted place I am proud to be in today was a turbulent journey filled with learning, light, crumbling, rebuilding, and joy. I have been rock bottomed more times than I’ve been ready to admit over the last 5 years. Today, I feel different and at peace from within - knowing that I have all the tools to navigate the rough winds and waters - when they do show up - because they have and they will continue to.
Energetically and cosmically - there is a lot circulating around us right now. After my father passed away last year, I knew I would need support and as I listened to myself - I came to the conclusion that I was ready to get further in touch with my body and sought out a somatic practitioner - I hit the jackpot! This lesson reminded me again that when I’m fully ready for something - I call it in really quickly. Never force the process.
What I’ve learnt since working with Corinthia is how much space my peri physical body extends outside of my body. Peri physical is the space your energy takes up outside of the skin of your entire being. Pretty cool! I always knew that I had big energy because other people tell me all the time, but I met and held my energy a few months ago and it’s been a beautifully building relationship ever since.
I am a Generator in Human Design and have a lot of energy to share. In fact, I need to deplete it as much as possible each day in order to have restful sleeps. I used to suffer from insomnia as a teenager and young adult so creating sleep routines and sacred sleep conditions and spaces for me is crucial. That includes draining my mental and physical energies throughout the day.
As much energy as I do hold, I don’t have an endless well. And I also don’t have an infinite amount to share with others. When I was younger, I would generously give it out to anyone and everyone and never reserve enough to give back to myself. 39 year old me is not this way anymore - thankfully! I conserve and refill my energy in many ways that work for me. Again, it’s taken me years to arrive here and also, as I evolve, my desires and needs do as well so I am always tuning back inward to listen to what may need to shift.
My rituals and routines with myself to fill my well. Some of them feel like a psychedelic experience - and truth be told - I’ve never had a medicine / drug induced psychedelic experience - I’m basing it off of my assumptions from what I’ve heard.
My mornings are sacred and slow. They are full, undisrupted time with myself that helps me set my tone and energy for the day. Stay cozied up in bed until I’m ready to get out, black americano that I make for myself every morning with my beloved coffee machine that I’ve named her Beauté. I sometimes journal, read a little, stretch, get in morning miles - whatever I need that morning - I indulge in. My coffee is always followed up with room temp water and another glass of Saratoga Sparkling. I need all three beverages to fully come alive.
Connecting with my community - and only when I have the availability to be fully present. If a friend calls and I can’t talk at that moment for any reason - I don’t pick up. If it’s an emergency - a whole different story - but all of my humans know that being fully present is important to me.
Cooking seasonal foods and nourishing items. I don’t meal prep. I inquire with my body what I’m needing to eat at that moment - and I eat just that. I am not a 3 meals a day kind of person - I have to snack every couple of hours to keep myself full. The moment I begin to hit Hanger - we’ve gone too far and it takes more energy from me to get myself out of adrenaline from it - I do my best to not arrive there but I don’t succeed every time.
Time in nature. I have a special place in the poconos where I go for morning trail runs or hikes when I’m up there. I sit on a bench by a pond and I close my eyes. This really powerful - psychedelic thing happens - I see a red sea of energy moving up into my third eye. When my well is replenished - this sea becomes still and my eyes open. I also feel an energy discharge out from my hands that is releasing what doesn’t serve me and it helps me root down faster. It’s a really unique experience that makes me feel alive. Nature is our greatest medicine.
Planted these cuties a couple of weeks ago and the love and light it brings to me when I walk by them is so potent Time solo - I need a lot of time to myself. I am a hyper sensitive empath and I absorb other’s energies. It can get really intense for me and I then become exhausted and resentful sometimes. I love the time I spend with myself - it’s always sweet and fun.
Lightening the weight on my cerebral being and dropping into my gut. I have been calling in creativity with my hands to get out of my intellect and I found my new love. Soap making! What a beautiful process and tool that works magique for me. I can’t wait to gift these little love potions to my community once they have fully cured!
3 different soaps - all curing! Lavender, Avocado Eucalyptus, Chamomile / oats / honey
In a world where we are so stimulated all the time, I am continuously calling for a slower and simpler life. The life that makes me feel yummy and keeps me safe from being in the draining and unhealthy adrenaline that I have lived in for almost my entire lifetime.
