Artemis Gardens BnB is now open to the world! Last year, I retired after 21 yrs of nursing, to host & share this peaceful place. I’d been dreaming about this for years & it was finally time & I was finally able - with lots of support, manual labor, & encouragement from my loved ones. They are so awesome.

I’m happy to show you around the gardens, make you breakfast & snacks, join you for some yoga or arts n crafting, or just show you where the coffee pot & everything is & leave you alone. Either way, you’ll at least see me at breakfast time!

🌚 New moon, new me. Find your fire! 🔥

Your fire is Strength, Personality, Power, Self-Respect, Determination, & Transformation

The body’s Solar Plexus chakra* is associated with the element of fire & the connection to the Big Light Source, the Sun. It holds the highest amount of pranic energy (life-force, chi), is always in motion, & radiates our own personal power, personality, & ego – who “I AM” & what that looks like. All the concepts of “self” generate personal power: self-definition, self-esteem, self-respect, self-responsibility, self-talk/thoughts, & the image of the ideal self.

Along with the sacral chakra below, the solar plexus opens at puberty & fuels the ability & desire to connect with the tribe outside of just family. Its central purpose is transformation, compelling us to face our fears & weaknesses in order to make dynamic changes in life. ‘Standing in your own power’ is more of a walk through fire. It requires risk, strength, & courage to form the footing for the higher, more revolutionary parts of ourselves to begin to express themselves. Simply put, it takes guts. In order to learn best, at the gut level, this fire needs to be exposed & stoked.

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” - Rumi

An under or over-inflated self-esteem can make us overly dominating toward others or “full of hot air”, boastful & lacking substance. When the energy is unbalanced or low, we slide deeper into the dumps, & are discouraged or aggressive. Feeling powerless can make getting-things-done & decision-making difficult. We may struggle with boundaries, find ourselves in co-dependent relationships, or in cycles of addictive tendencies. Internal battles such as wanting to play it safe while still wanting to exert control, can lead to disordered eating, accumulation of a large midsection, or other GI problems like unpredictable or uncomfortable bowels. We may feel exhausted, scattered, dull, or achy. Harmonizing opposing feminine & masculine energies in this space creates self-love to illuminate where you are going & how to get there.

☀️When the solar plexus is balanced, I burn away old negative ways of thinking & ask who am I & what do I want? I dust off & add to the internal library of knowledge & wisdom to clear the path to propel forward. I recognize higher knowledge while still appreciating & co-creating with the mundane. I am more motivated, reliable, & responsible. I can express my personal power without fear. I am confident without being arrogant. I learn to use my will, determination, & ambition to digest what’s happening in life & know what to accept & when to let go. I will keep strong abdominal muscles & focus on my core mindfully. I will burn incense or oils & reduce to ashes the old ways that don’t work for me anymore. I will discern any negative self-talk in my head & replace it with positive affirmations, mantras, chants, or songs. I will seek trauma healing support from professionals if needed. I can stimulate my solar plexus by doing something as easy as noticing a sunset or the stars. However, doing a little more work to seek mental clarity & learn new things is more potent. Therefore, I will embrace hobbies, arts & crafts, playing games, yoga (sun salutations, warriors, boat), meditating, reading, cooking, volunteering, taking a class, joining a cause, exercise, hiking/biking, traveling, & other new experiences to warm the soul.☀️

Find your fire!

* The chakra system exists alongside & entwined around our physical nervous system, from the coccyx to the top of the head. Chakras (from Sanskrit meaning “wheel” or “circles”) spin clockwise & act as mediators between the physical & the spiritual. They influence & are influenced by their corresponding regions, related glands, organs, muscles, emotions, thoughts, & beyond. They are the personal, intuitive, & universal meeting points of all human experiences & possibilities. If you have felt a “lump in the throat”, “broken heart”, “cold feet”, “shaky legs”, “butterflies”, or other psychosomatic dis-ease, you have begun to understand this energy realm. Homework & housekeeping of this ancient, sacred, subtle system can complement the latest innovations in western medicine, for optimal health & well-being. Chakra healing is a journey into dark, unresolved, & even forgotten impressions. Chakra opening is more than general well-being & peace. It is awakening our energy & awareness to its highest potential. Meditating on each chakra holds different experiences & potential. The heart chakra, for example, is related to the interconnectedness of all things, so opening it means focusing on this level of reality. Also, acts of service & an intentional compassionate lifestyle are even more valuable & healing for this chakra, than meditation.

💚A Heart-opening devotion...

Compassion, Unconditional Love, Acceptance, Forgiveness, Sincerity, Sensitivity, & Service…

💚When the Heart space is balanced, I am more mindful of the sense of expansion with my breath & it is in a comfortable rhythm. My heart is open to allow the earthly energy from below to flow into my heart & out my arms for the purpose of loving service. I can reflect on old relationships & inherited wounds & come to terms with them compassionately. I am a healer omitting loving energy & deep inner peace. I practice & reflect on caring for others. I can engage with the element of air by listening to it or being hugged by a breeze. I will get inside green spaces whenever I can by gardening, hiking, foraging, & stepping outside barefoot. I will open my chest with expressions of gratitude through silence, yoga poses (cobra, camel, bridge, prayer), meditation, & visualization. I will indulge in touch with massage, hugs, & make intentional human connections in other creative ways if direct touch is not possible. Practices of devotion such as mantras, chanting, or keeping a journal are helpful for my heart & compassion through action is the best practice. I realize that the very meaning of life can only be experienced through coming out of myself, dedicating myself to something bigger, & making connections. We are all breathing the same air. The same air our ancestors breathed is still respiring throughout the world, touching all living things, & no one able to last long without it.💚

The Heart chakra* is a natural mediator seeking inward & outward balance, bridging the mind & gut, reconciling our inner & outer worlds. While it seeks internal harmony in the body, ego, mind, & soul, it also provides a direct communication line from one heart to an other heart, unifying all bodies, minds, spirits, & matter. This energy wheel is in the area of the physical heart & lung organs so it is easy to visualize how we supply love, joy, & compassion to the entire body & carry it in & out of the world.

The Heart is associated with the most expansive of the first four elements: Air. Working with the air, (the breath, prana, chi, life-force) helps to access that freedom, openness, & spaciousness needed to keep the pump healthy in order to heal self & others. Air is all encompassing, unconditional, & essential – so is love. Love, the purest emotion, free from causation – just is. The Sanskrit term for the Heart chakra is “Anahata”, meaning “sound produced without touching two parts”; “unhurt, unbeaten, & unstruck”: free from two opposing forces & causation.

Awareness of the synergy & interconnectedness of all things means contradictions, confrontations, & cooperation. The Heart propagates sensitivity which naturally branches out into the hands. Through that empathetic energy, linking everything together, we learn to truly feel & touch others & be felt & touched by others. The Heart’s intention exists in the acts that cultivate the outcome. Rabindranath Tagore said,

“I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.”

When the energy here is unbalanced or congested, we are more dependent on others for love & affection, which leads to attachments & disappointment. We can be unforgiving, envious, & grabby at other peoples’ energy. Or we may feel lonely, shy, anxious, or overcritical towards ourselves & others. Because of all the air in this area, we can feel its effects like a balloon, squeezing & letting go. This dis-ease can cause feelings of suffocation & even intrude on our physical heart, lungs, & immune system.

“If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.” ~Dalai Lama
