Unfurling Hearts Studio

Today is the day!

Woohoo! Today is the day that we join together to learn about Creating Your Heaven on Earth. This program is a 4 week program devoted to YOU and teaching you what I have learned on my journey from distraction to presence. Along with this, we are getting familiar with the Laws of Nature, and how to create the fertile soil for the actualization of your life- in Harmony.

I am so excited to sit and chat and move the energy around this project. This is such a meaningful creation for me, as it is the personal learnings I've received through my lived experience over the last 10 years, that has recently locked into place this last year. (Although, it feels like every day I am learning something new about life! Aren't we all?)

So stoked to see you there. Here is the link (https://us05web.zoom.us/j/83166078000) !

6 pm CST.

Coming back online...

Life is so interesting. One moment I was in one reality, and then almost as soon as I became accustomed to it, I was in another.

Vipassana was a difficult, yet equally rewarding experience. It was the most physical pain I've ever experienced in meditation, away from home and the tools I would normally use for pain. Yet, that was the purpose...

How to remain equanimous during painful sensations, and how to react when painful situations do occur? With that, seeing how those reactions determine what we put out into the world. This brings the question... what is our response when we experience misery and suffering? When we witness it within ourselves, or in the world around us? Do we multiply it? Or observe it, be with it objectively, knowing it will pass in time?

(I think about those of you who come to me with pain and seek my aide. To be a safe space for the pain you experience and for you in your journey is so meaningful. Thank you for trusting me.)

I don't normally experience pain myself. It is not a natural occurrence in my day to day life, so as I was experiencing excruciating pain, I had the opportunity to see the reactions to it that were brought to the surface.

Avoidance- boiling up to the point of a bursting volcano- to the point of anger and agitation, that left me with an entire mess. And I see how that has been a trend in life. Not desiring to admit that pain is real, or there; present, until it is too late and then a mess is made. What an experience. This is what wars are made of.

And yet, no outlet. There wasn't a person or situation that was causing the pain. The pain was within. The avoidance was within. The reactions were within. And I saw, the more I reacted to the pain, the more pain was there. The more I personalized it, the more it became solidified and "real".

Yet- the pain wasn't, and never has been, mine. It isn't any of ours. It is a sensation, an experience, a teacher and a guide. It is just something that exists. And the moment it is seen objectively, witnessed, is the moment it changes, and becomes something else.

Like a wave, pain and pleasure go hand in hand. A long time ago I wrote a poem about it, that said, "pleasure and pain are two versions of the same script," and I got to witness that these last ten days.

The aversion to pain comes with another craving: the desire for pleasure.

Which feels like an epiphany I've had many times over, yet this time was experiential. To crave the sensation of pleasure from sitting in so many hours of pain... It is a sensation driven game. One that keeps us stuck in a cycle of "good" and "bad", "right" and "wrong", "craving" and "aversion".

It's the duality. To get hurt by something and label it as bad, and to try and isolate the event and separate the self from it, and create a life that is based solely around one sensation alone. Which isn't to say we can't create lives that reflect joy, happiness, fulfillment, etc., yet to try and repel a sensation for that causes us to create an unbalanced life filled with avoidance.

In nature, there is death and pain. It is natural that there are volcanoes, tsunamis, hurricanes, and droughts. It is Truth. This doesn't mean it is "good" or "bad", as that is a subjective viewpoint. It is what it is. It is the trust that it is here purposefully.

Can there be a dissonant experience with objectivity as the focal point? Can there be pain as well as a soft witness to it that isn't trying to make it something else? Can there be allowance with dis-ease, knowing that it will pass and change, and in that space, can there be beauty in it?

I'm grateful for the ways I was able to see pain. Not as an enemy, not as a foe that needed to be defeated and diminished as quickly as I could part with it, but as a teacher who was showing me what desired to be released from my system- which was partially attachment to a specific/one-sided sensation.

There was this beautiful entanglement I witnessed with pain and the death of parts of myself. I'd love to write that I'm a Leo with a lot of pride, and in that, I have held this vision of myself that is strong. This is the image I have presented strongly. Yet, with just as much strength as I have claimed, it is because of the illusion of strength in the face of pain that I wasn't able to fully let go of aspects of myself that were ready to die and return into fertile soil for something new.

I got to see a lot of my pride bubble up and show me that I too have done things incorrectly by not admitting the fact that pain exists and is real. In that, the pain I have experienced has been subjectively felt, with opinions that have placed limitations on life. That pain has boiled over and spilt onto friends and family, in ways that could be better managed with detachment and an objective frame.

It's not that we don't take action with pain or make adjustments- it's just, how do we experience pain and respond to it appropriately? How do we make gentle shifts in our own being so that we may find more comfort- not shaming or blaming what is occurring for us, yet allowing it to move through us to move us into the shape and form our bodies naturally want to take?

During this course I found, ultimately, pain is only present to be witnessed. It moves on its own, and it arrises and passes, and arrises and passes, yet, it has difficulty in moving when we attach onto it and make it our own, or avoid it by claiming it isn't there, creating stories, until it bubbles up to be expressed. Usually, in a moment, the reaction feels unbalanced to what is actually present.

In my eyes, I see us all seeking love and a love filled life. With that, I see us all seeking to feel seen and witnessed in our innocence.

The pain and dissonance we experience from time to time doesn't separate us from our innocence. It makes us human. It is our life story, our karma and dharma, that allows us to learn from the experiences of our lives and move to spaces that feel more aligned for us. It teaches us about ourselves- how we react and respond to life and nature, our connection and trust with the world, and how our choices are impacting us.

If it wasn't for pain, we wouldn't move when things didn't align or feel incorrect. We wouldn't know our yes' and our no's and we wouldn't find the space to create the reality we are desiring to experience. It is just... understanding how to move with pain, rather than in conflict with it.

Which is what I got to share 10 days learning about, through this body, through this mind, and through this spirit. How do I react when pain arrives?

Thankfully, I got to move away from a lot of patterns in contained space that didn't involve another person or situation. The reactions were within. The reactions were faced with my own witness, which... once witnessed, forever changed.

Which brings us to some self reflective journaling prompts...

-How do I react when I experience pain?

-What area(s) of my life am I avoiding because I experience pain there?

-Is there something that needs attention that I could sit with - thoughts about a situation/person/experience - for 15 minutes?

-Is there something this pain could be telling me about life?

-If I detach from this pain, what remains?

To sit with these:
Make a cup of tea, be with your heart and the sensations of your body, and know that it is okay to be with what is present in each moment. It is all impermanent, yet the understandings that arise can create deep impact on all levels... when we listen, allow, and let the message come through.

Coming up next...

This Wednesday, August 19th, we have our prep call at 6 pm cst, where we will discuss Creating Your Heaven on Earth (https://www.unfurlinghearts.studio/the-yin-compass) ! (Which, even if you have not signed up, you are welcome to join to see what it is all about!)

Wow. I cannot believe this is already here. Yet, here we are... I am thrilled to bring this program to you, and honored to create such a meaningful program.

This program goes through so much. The understandings of life so far, what I've implemented from living a life full of suffering, to one of joy and bliss. Of course pain exists in its own way, yet alignment changes the way it shows up and how it dictates life. Here, we get to see what is creating dissonance in our lives, and return to presence, devotion, and planting good seeds in fertile soil for our dream lives to come forward.

Aside from that is business as usual with Ashiatsu- with availability at the end of this week and next week. I am so excited to get back in the studio to serve you and be with you in this way. You can book this below!

Sending all the love, bliss, happiness...

May we all be free from suffering,
through deep deep deep understanding
of the impermanent nature
of life itself

xoxo,
Lindsay

Deep learnings on pain Click here for an update from Unfurling Hearts Studio!

📞 Life is calling... are you answering?

Here we are... a beautiful Tuesday, the fourth day of August. I am currently at a local coffee shop near my house, drinking a decaf Mexican Latte. I started to frequent a new coffee shop that feels more calm and relaxed.

As I type this, I am witnessing two gentlemen having a conversation over coffee, as well as a younger man reading Dune with a King of Pentacles tarot card as a bookmark... along with a platter of Turkish Coffee.

Here, it is like the people move slower, there are more conversations happening, and even if people are working, it's at a pace that feels softer. More relaxed.

Which, after 10 years of practicing massage, I've developed a love for relaxation and the ability to slow down. I've enjoyed the past year, moving from a quick paced, active, extreme life to a softer, slower, moving with the tide experience.

In that, there is new vision. When I am too quick paced and scattered, I miss things that seem unimportant. Yet, in my presence, in my attention, I see the things that would have previously passed my mind without second thought, and their significance.

Instead of moving from one topic to the next, there is a depth that emerges in thought. I am able to be inquisitive, curious, and open. To take the first subtly and move it through my being, rather than moving onto the next thing.

In that depth, there is a movement in my life that has taken me further than just switching up my routine daily. The ability to be consistent, devoted, and present, has allowed more answers to reveal themselves... not because I was asking questions, but because I was present and open to whatever desired to emerge.

Saying yes to the first line of thought that feels good, leads to the second, leads to the third, and in that, there is this momentum that leads to the climax of the story. Like learning the structure of a book, ecstatic dance, or the waves in the ocean. It is a delicious flow.

The secret I've found is that each moment isn't just one thing. The climax is also the beginning and the end. As well as each and every other moment. It is not actually "building" off something, yet it is... in its ability for depth; presence. Following the thread and taking it there. Yet, even that isn't the full scope of the Truth. Because we aren't going anywhere. It just is, has always been, yet now we are more aware of it.

Can you sense it?

Here we go

This is the energy that I am moving into these next 10 days with, the container I'm setting for the Vipassana, and the intention that is holding the whole process together.

I am not attempting to "become" anything or anyone from this experience. This experience is less about being viewed or what it looks like on the outside. For me, it is an internal movement of depth, practice, and consistency. It is going there, and in that, Knowing that there isn't separate from my Self.

It is holding a level of presence so that I may access what already is. Truth. And to focus all of my energy on being there with that Truth.

How often do we allow ourselves to be there?

As I move into this space, I want to float a soft and subtle reflection for you. As a gift, as I will be away, not sharing in this space, not active in my external presence.

-How often do you allow yourself to go there?

-What does it feel like to be there with yourself?

-What practices have you devoted yourself to, that build consistency, depth, and presence?

-What is the energy motivating you in action?

-When was the last time you followed an intuitive hit?

I've found for myself that I often don't understand why I have a feeling or a voice telling me to do something. Yet, that's how I end up bringing a rose to my Yoga Teacher on her birthday, and an aquamarine ring to a coffee shop for a woman who has been searching for it her entire life. That's how I won a free year of Yoga, and started Yoga Teacher Training. It's how I found my roommate, and how I knew to go to Vipassana right before our program (https://www.unfurlinghearts.studio/the-yin-compass) starts. And how I knew to go to this coffee shop this morning.

Presence

If there is one thing I can offer, it is the reminder to share time with yourself each and every day. Whether you create a ceremonial experience, or light a candle near some of your favorite things. Whether it's putting on makeup or taking a hot bath. Remember, to care for the body that is allowing you to experience the Earth. Isn't it a miracle that we are here at all? For whatever reason, we made it. We might as well find our way to celebrating each and every moment of it... and we can only do that in our presence.

Thank you~

You. Worthy, you. You are the reason why I am able to sit with myself. You are the reason I get to take 10 days off and commit to my own inner connection. You are the reason. I am so grateful for your support, encouragement, blessings, eyes that see, and hearts that love soooo big & deep. It is such an honor to share time, space, presence, and love together. It is lovely to go deeper, together. I am honored.

I will miss you and our flow, and writing you love letters! Thankfully we will see each other again. And by then, it will feel like no time has passed at all. Like we were never separate and that distance didn't exist. Because that's the Truth- it never did.

Love love love loving you!!!
See you when I get back!!!

xoxo forever, Lindsay

This is Goodbye... for Now 💗 Click here for an update from Unfurling Hearts Studio!

You heard that right.

As most of you know, I will be leaving for Vipassana from August 5th - August 16th. How incredible is that? And, since that is the case, booking is slimming down as we make our way. Here is what our availability looks like:

July 30th: 1 pm
July 31st: 12 pm
August 3rd: 1 pm
August 4th: 1 pm / 3:15pm

I am so excited to witness these times fill up and to be able to connect and flow together. It is such a joy in life to have the space for us to feel, connect, be free and authentic, and to see what is actually going on internally, being expressed outwardly in the body.

I feel so honored and in deep gratitude for the ways in which I am able to come to this studio and serve you. As much as it is an act of giving, it is an act of receiving, and I am beyond thankful for your gifts.

I've recognized so much here in this space. Just as much as I feel like a teacher, I am a humble student, learning through our experiences together. I am often amazed at how we are usually moving through the same things together... Divine Alignment, am I right?

What is Vipassana?

I know many of you have been asking- what exactly is Vipassana?

In many of these spaces of that question, I have felt resistance in expressing what it is- because the truth is that I don't know, and also, I feel it's a little out there for the culture we live in.

What I do know it's a 10 day silent meditation. I know it was recommended to me through my guides that I trust. I know the intention - a funeral for all parts of myself that cannot come with me into the next phase of my life.

I know I can't have my phone or distract myself from myself. That part can scare me a little bit. Not the phone thing- the part where I can't ignore what is present within. I'm not special or above anyone else, and I see the spaces where my own avoidance and distraction can take the reigns.

Yet, in the same breath, that's part of why I am choosing to go. I don't want to avoid myself anymore. I don't want to avoid my heart. I don't want to look away from the song it sings. I don't want to get lost in the mundane and say it's fine.

I want my present moments to be filled with my attention. And I want my attention to be focused on bliss, love, joy, relaxation and miracles. And trust me, I've found... that doesn't happen when I am avoiding my inner sense, my inner truth, and the deep connection I am capable of experiencing with the Universe.

I imagine sitting with myself for that long will bring up fears and doubt. I also imagine that seeing it head on, I can see it clearly for what it is. Just fear. Just doubt. A temporary experience that tries to cover up the eternal one. What we are forevermore... Divine.

I see myself learning commitment. Not talking, writing, reading... going to a coffee shop and being creative... none of my luxuries I am accustomed to here. There is a willingness there that wants to emerge. To see how long 10 days actually is, in clarity, and to commit to the practice. To commit within, and to let that be the moving force.

My dream...

The act of commitment and the desire for it, brings me to my dreams. I have a lot of them. And in order to actualize dreams into form, into this world, I see that commitment is the key. It is the thread, desiring to connect within myself.

My question recently has been- why am I doing this? Any of this? All of this?

And I realize it is not separate from my entire life. All my life my dream has been Sacred Union. Divine Partnership. Love. Harmony. Heaven on Earth. Bliss. Family. A beach, to be in the water. Fresh foods. Beautiful weather. Awe. To read for others. Oracle- Seer- One with All That Is. Catalyst to Break Illusion. New Earth Birther and Bringer.

And, what I previously committed to, was the idea that I wasn't worthy of my dreams... or that they could be real. That was hard. I was basically punishing myself and not allowing life to provide for me for a long time. In many experiences that weren't my full desire because I didn't think I could experience that.

Anyone with me?

In the last year, my work with commitment has been to fall in love with myself. There are moments where I feel I've achieved that, yet then there are others where I feel frustrated and separate. Where I've lost my North Star.

Yet, I recently found it again. The dream. My Heaven on Earth. The guiding Light. The path that has been calling me home for... well, all time, because it is the one that has been gifted to me by the Universe.

So, in contemplation of commitment, from love and direction, now the focus is on how much I can trust and commit to the Universe to hold me and move me to the spaces I am meant to go to, to allow the unfoldment of my dreams to occur.

Creating Your Heaven on Earth

That's why I created Creating Your Heaven on Earth (https://www.unfurlinghearts.studio/the-yin-compass) in the first place. This program came through so strongly through a deep prayer and call to the Universe to show me how to help people no matter where they are in the world.

And more so than help people, to Create Our Heaven on Earths together. By building trust, concentration, attention, presence, and community where we can hold each others visions and reflect each other clearly, and honestly.

What I have found is that this creation is less of a physical movement. Especially as I sat in ceremony, feeling the way the weight of the world was pulling me down to the ground. In that space, the only way I actually was moved was by praying to God that he would move me.

In this way, it is an inner movement, an inner focus- it is an energy that clears the way and the path, so that the movement may occur on the outside. It is an inner commitment that says, when I ask God to move me- no matter what it looks like- it comes from the Heart of Truth. It doesn't come from a place of resistance. It comes from a place of connection.

And that's what my commitment is. My mission during Vipassana is to commit to God. To commit to the Universe and Beyond. To trust, have faith. To be present with everything that comes up and commit to returning my focus to God and my breath. Seeing what is, while remaining with the Heart of Truth.

Because I could choose to continue to move with the ups and downs of emotional spirals and fear and doubt, then extreme bliss dopamine hits, or I could sink into something deeper. Something beyond. Something more real. Something I don't have to think about.

I can just be.

And in that, I can return to you, with what I have learned, and allow you too, to just be. And to hold the depth for and with you. In trust, in Knowing, in the Love of the Divine, in everything that is True.

I love you so much,
Cheers to Creating Our Heaven on Earths!

LAST APPOINTMENTS UNTIL AUG 20TH Click here for an update from Unfurling Hearts Studio!

The beauty of a mid month tide 🌊

There is something about the middle of the month that has always felt significant to me. Especially since I am a woman who walks around with a planner in her hand, monthly goals and dreams afoot in each step she takes.

It took a while for that practice to stick for me. Coming from a Pisces South Node, I was born a dreamer, yet I see that, with my Virgo North Node, I am learning how to put those dreams into an organized form in order to birth it into reality.

It's interesting how accurate astrology can be, and how we can work with the energies of this world. It's not that things will definitely happen because there is a certain energy, it is more the question of, will we relax into the energies at play?

More than the energies of astrology, this idea is rooted in the belief that there is something more, something greater, something that exists beyond this moment in time. It is a Knowing... and can we rest in that Knowing? (https://www.unfurlinghearts.studio/the-yin-compass)

What relaxation means...

There is a deeper Truth to relaxation and being able to maintain connection with that inner space within... And that Truth is that, in order to reach this space, it is necessary to surrender everything we think we know. In other words, we must let go of the logical mind that makes sense of our current reality, and open the space for there to be something more.

In order for this deep inner relaxation, our attention must be placed on something else. Something deeper... A new seed of energy. Something that has yet to come into form. Something we cannot see yet. Something that encompasses our curiosity, a sense of wild liberation and freedom, a sacred inner secrecy... protected and embraced by the fierce Jaguar of the West.

This is the space where our hearts sing, where we feel free, where we breathe deep, and feel bliss erupt throughout our bodies. This is the space where we don't know how, why, when, where, maybe even what, yet we know that this sensation is all we desire to feel going forward in life. And even if we don't know, we know that what we can imagine and relax into feels better than this.

So it is.

Law of Attraction

As we sink more and more deeply into this luxurious space of relaxation and inner Knowing, we direct this beautiful Law of Attraction... in our favor. Because this Law of the Universe that states, like attracts like, is always active... yet now we direct it.

Being able to allow ourselves to rest consistently in our world, even for 15 minutes a day, creates the inner space, the inner stillness, that reflects this feeling of safety, relaxation, and Knowing.

This is tapping into the frequency of Abundance, and allowing the Universal energies to work for you. Rather than striving for things, we rest in the attitude of thriving, Knowing, and allowing.

In this space, we rest in the path of least resistance, allowing our desires to come in with ease, because we follow our baseline sensation of YES, rather than moving based in outcomes.

Instead of using our senses to make decisions, based off what we think we know, we allow the Divine Energy to be our guide, taking us on an adventure of "YES!", which reflects what we are calling in.

This adventure we go on is one embedded with the energy of abundance, relaxation, receival, joy, and bliss, because we are allowing ourselves to move with it, or even... be moved by it!

Say Yes to the Journey because this world is made FOR YOU.

If there is any wisdom I can part as I say yes to the journey unfolding before me, it is to say yes to your own journey. To find the spaces where you can relax in life, and surrender to something Beyond, that is creating this moment for a specific reason.

(I find that reason is usually to learn how to relax, lol)

Go to the spaces that feel good, even if you're the only one who wants to. Eat at the place you've been dying to go. Shop at a local market on a Wednesday because, for some reason, you just have to be there. Go to the store and buy the expensive supplement for your body. Get the things you desire. Take the yoga class. And trust that the world will bring more than you could ever desire...

When you are centered in release, enjoyment, abundance, and a want for nothing.

Relaxing with Me 💗

There are a few available appointment times coming up before I head myself over to Vipassana from August 5th-August 16th. If you would enjoy sending me off and getting in some sweet relaxation before I leave, please come on in! It is such a joy to be in presence with you, in the moment, and unfurl our beautiful hearts!

If you would like to learn more about Law of Attraction and the Energies we can work with in our lives, I have an amazing program coming up when I get back, called Creating Your Heaven on Earth (https://www.unfurlinghearts.studio/the-yin-compass) . (click me!)

This four week program is based on everything I have learned throughout my life, to go from addiction, fear, scarcity, and lack, to prosperity, relaxation, abundance, dreaming, and creating my Heaven on Earth.

It is so amazing to create a program from my soul, one that embodies this energy that feels like relaxation, ease, flow, and so much abundance. There is so much I could say, yet the main thing is, I am excited and would love to have you there.

Either way, I will see you soon!

Sending lots of love to all of our journeys and the movements we have all made to be here together, in this moment in time. I am grateful for all of our crossed paths, our shared hearts, and flow. I cherish my every moment with you. It is such a great honor. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Your friend,
Lindsay

July's High Tide 🌊 Click here for an update from Unfurling Hearts Studio!

The best things in life are not instant.

As I am moving in the world, I am seeing this deep deep wisdom that desires to be expressed. And that is:

Life isn't instant.

Especially not the way we may imagine it to be. The things that are truly our hearts desire take time, and presence.

Depending on what we believe about what we can receive, as well as the distance between what now and then feels like, is what creates the amount of time it takes between having the thought vs having the experience.

AKA- Our ability to receive is dependent upon our ability to believe, feel, and imagine. It is a quiet faith. It is a trusting fate. It is a deep connection with All That Is.

The Truth of The Seed

There has been a moving trend in our society that has preferred the instantaneous gratification of receiving, rather than the experience that nature provides. Buying the flowers rather than growing the seeds and watching them grow. Watering them with consistency. And in that... a forgetfulness of the ultimate gift, from the Universe that knows your heart. And knows it better than you ever could imagine.

In a time where google is at our fingertips, not to mention Claude and AI, as well as our GPS'... dare I say, even money... we forget how incredibly miraculous this world is. The flow we can enter into when we are present. The spontaneous happenings that are far more than coincidence in their precision, and more perfect than we could even comprehend.

My heart says, it's time to remember. And in that, it is time to see the truth of the world and of reality. It's time to be still. It's time to trust even more. And it's time to understand the life cycle of all things.

So, this is a seed. And we start at the seed. The birthing of an idea, whether it takes root, is acknowledged, watered, and believed/trusted... That experience is up to us. It is up to us if we plant seed thoughts, ideas, beliefs, etc., to grow in our soil. That is our ability here. To choose, yes or no.

There are so many thoughts and ideas everywhere. All seeds, water, or fertilizer, for your inner garden. There are also thoughts and ideas that are shovels and clippers that remove or cut the plants you're growing in the garden. That is why it is so important to be present and conscious with what information you are receiving, how you are digesting it, and what your truth is.

A Miraculous Experience

A few weeks ago, I visited a coffee shop and experienced great energy with a man named Bryan. We were chatting and I was thrilled to be there- as I had only gone to their other location before. It was incredible. I loved being there, and it was very early in starting my content creation, so I got a coffee and made a video outside, in excitement.

Bryan told me there was an event happening on the 11th, so, if I was free, to come by. I immediately put it in my calendar (because that is truly how I schedule things. It is so helpful to dedicate intentional time to what I am showing up to).

So, the morning of the 11th I am getting ready and decide I want to wear a dress my friend just gifted me. Yet, there was a hole in the breast crease, so ... "coincidentally" I just got sewing stuff a few days before. I sat and repaired the hole, and realized that I was never incapable of repairing things I loved, and that I could do it if I wanted to. If it was worth it to me. I was capable.

I put my jewelry on, admiring the beautiful collection of silver jewelry I had collected, and was wearing. Most gifts, ones that hold my heart. Ones with meaning.

(thinking back to a moment where a man I am friends with held my necklace and said that the necklace felt like my energy- a gift from my mama when she was on her trip in Egypt.)

As I looked in my jewelry container and noticed all the jewelry I love. And I noticed that I have such an abundance of them, yet... many of them aren't my choice to wear. I looked at them with gratitude, and decided to put an Aquamarine ring on that I hadn't worn in forever, yet thought was so gorgeous.

When getting ready, I found out the event was actually a plant swap. Looking around my room, I realized... I love all my plants! How can I give any away? Except... that one (lol). So I sat with the plant I chose to gift, and blessed it. Putting crystals in it, and a tea candle, as well as an incense stick and a card. It felt sweet and I knew it would be for the perfect person. With that, I went off to the coffee shop, prepared, ready, feeling gorgeous, exactly as I desired things to be, because I was fully present with each moment.

When I got there, I was greeted by Bryan, and I remembered his name because it when we met, he said "Bryan with a Y". It was sweet to see him, for us to remember each other in that moment and feel connected. After I chatted with him, I went and got a coffee and cookie before swapping my plant with a gorgeous ziggy plant I fell in love with.

The space was lively, with a constant flow of people and plants and good conversations. They were also holding a raffle, and there was a local musician, Katy Day, was playing for the space. It was a beautiful experience.

After swapping my plant, Bryan tells me I can get a plant propagation from a woman named Taylor, so I went to her and our energy was so amazing from the start. Talking with her was so much fun- I got to ask her about her gimbal (DJI pocket 3) and her plants, as well as the terrariums she created. She was so inspiring, and I loved seeing her creations and what she was doing in her world. Our energy was so magnetic, eventually she got up from the table and got me a little pouch filled with stickers, a note she created (with a stamp that she also created!!) and a little jar with a waxed stamp that held crystals.

It was so cool to receive her, along with her gifts and creations. It was a bit like Burning Man in a way... (which... there is also so much to say about this experience... maybe I will talk about it another time).

I immediately put the sticker on my laptop because it looked like it belonged there. As we were talking like kids, giggling, sharing, and loving the present moment, mid my sentence, she exclaims "Is that an aquamarine ring??? I have been looking for one for so long- it's my birthstone and-"

There was no hesitation in my body. It was off of my finger in an instant and held out to her.

Immediately she said- "no, you aren't serious!! no way!!"

Yet, I was. I was so excited, thrilled, and happy!! This experience was worth way more to me than this ring that I don't wear, yet love. I was elated that I was able to give something the Universe created for her.

Alignment.

My desire to let go and gifted my beautiful jewelry that aren't exactly meant for me. Her desire to find this ring for years and years. (1:11 as I type this).

The perfect match. Law of Attraction. What we all have access to. The truth of the Universe.

I was grateful to be a vessel for the Universal Language of Mind. To listen deeply to what was wanted and needed, to feel the deep yes, and then to witness the unfolding right before me.

It was such a delight. In the process, she asked me about the story of the ring. I said there wasn't a story (Big Fat Lie)... Sure- maybe there wasn't a story in me receiving it - I just bought it from a shop down the street from the studio, but there was definitely a story in me giving it.

How juicy life felt in that moment. And completing this exchange allowed me to uncover the sacred realizations of the ring I was gifted at Burning Man.

A complete cycle.

It is the way of Nature - seeds planted, expanded upon, felt, and received and given. Pollinated, and blossomed. Let go of so more seeds may find soil and sprout when time.

A Call from Nature

There is a reason why people say- remember what you loved as a child. What lit you up, and desired. What filled your sacred heart and set it on fire.

Mine was playing in the kitchen, pretending I was talking to a camera, listening to music, watching Youtube (content creators), moving furniture around in my room, dancing, dressing up, talking with people online, writing, playing games, and pretending I was in a whole other world (specifically pretending I was Miley Cyrus and had a secret pop star life- Hannah Montana).

Pretending I had an online blog like Carrie from S*x in the City- going out into the world and sharing my findings with amazing people who love my energy and what I discover. Experiencing life to the fullest and taking risks. Going out so I can bring it to you.

My dreams have expanded and changed over time. Yet, at my core, I am still a secret star, and now... I am ready to shine! To be known for generosity, universal love, bliss, joy, and experience all the world has to offer! To show others the miracle of life and what is possible when we get into rhythm with Nature's Sacred Rhythm. The One who is here for us all.

This is NOT anti- anything.

Everything has its sacred place. We had to be there to be here. We had to experience what was necessary so we may Know. And in that, there is a space for relief, relaxation, and ease. We are here for the journey. The journey is simultaneously the destination. When we can truly feel, see, and experience that we are exactly where we are meant to be, we can let go of what we think should be happening and just enjoy.

Remember that this moment is also alignment. Cause to the effect. Look at it objectively as you contemplate what it is you would like to see. This will aide you in your Creation... of Heaven on Earth (https://www.unfurlinghearts.studio/the-yin-compass) . (click it!!!)

The biggest invite here, to come join an amazing group of individuals as we learn about nature, her cycles, the feminine flow of life, practice, death, rebirth. All the gorgeous things I am so happy and honored to share, to steward into this world, and to be a light about. It is my sacred heart's gift to you.

A subtle reminder...

I will be away from the office from August 5th- August 16th, at Vipassana. Y'all... the closer this experience gets, the more excited I feel in my Being. With all of my recent experiences, I am ready to uproot any seeds/sprouts/plants that don't belong in my garden anymore. I am ready to tend to my inner garden and clear out everything that doesn't align anymore.

I feel honored, supported, and loved moving into this journey. The most connected to this world that I have ever felt- in an honest way. Understanding the Universal Flow and the way Nature moves us.

Thank you for your support, care, trust, love, and for allowing me to practice with you. I am honored to learn safe and present touch, to give my heart in these sessions, and to create new seeds with you all.

If you have been here since the beginning, thank you for seeing my journey. It has been a ride, a miracle, and I am grateful we are together for it. That our desires align in this way.

Loving you in sooooo many ways!
Lindsay xoxo
