    From Me to You 🤍

    43 and me.

    My thighs wider than they used to be.
    Eyes wear wrinkles that are new to see.
    Scars tell stories of a history.

    Surrounded by nature.
    Held by the sea.
    Grounded by the earth.

    Roots back to me.

    Grounding in each morning.
    Gratitude to end the day.
    Creative flow guides the way.

    Soulful days to stay alive.
    Let the fire breathe.
    To come alive.

    There is something about this season that continues to bring me back to the body.

    This morning, sitting in the hot springs and meditating, I kept coming back to that.

    Our body. Our earth. Our home.

    Not separate from us. Ours to roam.

    I have spent a lot of my life asking my body to do things. To perform. To change. To push harder. To keep going. To be stronger.

    And I am learning more and more what it means to actually live within her.

    To support and connect to this miraculous vessel to our soul.

    In compassion, understanding, self-discovery, renewal and harmony.

    Discipline tests the limits.
    Grace in what each day brings.

    Softness and strength can coexist within.

    Our bodies change. Seasons change. What we need changes.

    There are times to push and times to soften. Times to build strength and times to rest. Times to reach outward and times to pull our energy inward and tend to our roots.

    The work isn’t always to become something new.

    Sometimes it is simply to come home.

    Your body.
    Your soul.
    Your vessel.

    Treat her with love and respect.

    She’s a miracle and is capable of much more than our minds automatically limit.

    And this morning, sitting there in the warmth of the springs, it became very clear to me what this next season of my work is asking for.

    An embodiment journey.

    Connecting groups of women has always been one of the most powerful parts of the work I do. There is something that happens when women gather with intention, when we have space to witness one another, encourage one another and also turn our attention back toward ourselves.

    And different seasons of life call for different things.

    As we move toward winter, through the holidays and into a new year, I don’t feel called toward another message telling women they need to reinvent themselves.

    I feel called toward integration into our own vessel.

    Back to your roots.
    To knowing your truth.
    Accepting the present.
    Resurrecting from the ashes of what used to be.
    Life-giving. Grounding in the reality of the present moment.

    For 12 weeks, I’m opening a small online circle of women to journey through this together.

    We’ll meet every other week, giving us space between gatherings to actually live and integrate what we’re exploring.

    We’ll reconnect. Assess. Integrate. Activate.

    We’ll explore strength and conditioning, balancing, movement, nourishment and nutrition guidance, grounding practices, intention, connection and accountability.

    Not from a place of punishment.

    Not because our bodies need fixing.

    But because they are our home.

    There is strength here. There is softness here. There is wisdom here.

    And maybe this winter isn’t asking us to become someone else.

    Maybe it’s asking us to come more fully into ourselves.

    What Season Are You In?

    From me to you.🤍

    I can hear the torch from the workshop in the bow of the Gypsy as I sit in the recliner in the saloon with a cup of coffee. Scott is working on soldering a heat exchanger so we are warmer this winter, and the kids are back on the 1st and 2nd days of school. We are anchored up in Auke Bay near Juneau for another day or a few, depending on the weather and boat projects and….the flow.

    Summer with the kids is over, and what an array of experiences it was. I feel so deeply fortunate and grateful to have shared in such beautiful gifts and special family time. During their stay, I paused several times to really reflect…we are living our dream together, and we are getting to share it with our children, and that is a very meaningful life to lead.

    Of course, when you go from no kids to 5 kids, and back and forth throughout the year, it can also be mildly disorienting 🤪 And although we’ve been doing this together for several years now, I’m still learning, and I imagine I always will be.

    One of the things living on the sea continues to show me is there is a season for everything, and not everything is always in season. The herring roe are only here in the spring. The humpbacks primarily stay during the summer months, following the abundance of food in the wild ocean. The salmon only run at certain times, returning to familiar streams. The brown bears roam the coastline following the fish. The deer are high in the mountains until the snow ushers them down to the beaches below.

    There are seasons of abundance and seasons of going inward and preparing to receive.

    It’s okay that not every day or season is the same, and that’s what adds to the beautiful complexity of life. That is something personally that is very satisfying to me…the shifts in each day, and living on the ocean really allows that feeling to become a lived reality.

    When the kids are here, I tend to my own personal needs less. I sleep less, eat more, exercise less, and in general practice energy healing less as well. I’m tending to owies, having deep chats, going for hikes, paddles, and swims with the kiddos, staying up way past my bedtime to have a little quiet time with Scott, cooking 3 meals a day even though I only eat 1 😂 This is completely typical as a mom, and one of the things I have had to get used to as a “co-parent” rather than a full time mom is the ebbs and the flow of these times.

    Different seasons. An evolving flow. Accepting the season, and tending to the areas that bring you the highest yields….the highest yields in your heart, your soul, your alignment, and your truth, is such a profound gift.

    No matter what season we are in, it’s difficult to observe, notice, and tend to without quiet time for contemplation. When I lived in the city, it would be during my daily drives that I would have this time of surprising clarity. When I lived in the mountains, it was early morning runs and hikes when it would come as the sun peeked over the alpine ridge. On the boat, it’s often gazing out the window at the ocean rolling beneath us, the light reflecting in an array of patterns soothing to the nervous system.

    Taking time…contemplating…and accepting the season, the shifts within that each one brings, and pouring gratitude all over all of it allows the natural unfolding to be much more fulfilling and harmonizing.

    Grateful for this life, and for the shifting seasons. Thank you for sharing them with me.

    And curious, what season are you in right now?

    With love,

    Audrey

    The Things We Carry

    From me to you.🤍

    The days have been disappearing in the midnight sun and endless family adventures aboard the Alaskan Gypsy. As I find a place to write I have two of the four children cozied up at my feet after a long day of sunshine and ocean play. It’s been a beautiful and busy couple of weeks. Summer is winding down. Besides the physical transitions taking place, there’s also the momma heart transition as the kids go back to school with their other parents.

    When there are things to be done and life to tend to we often choose to “compartmentalize” or “put it aside” for later. It may be later that day that the retreating tide brings light to what needs to be seen, or it could be a lifetime of experiences crashing above the surface keeping the focus away from said experiences.

    This is interesting from an energetic perspective. Consider each “heaviness,” we’ll just call it. Consider it within you….what does it feel like? A block? A heaviness? Tightness? Pain? Stuckness? Darkness? Anyway…consider it. Consider burying it because you’re busy. Because you can’t cry at the moment. Because you don’t want to explain to the 10 year old child the child wounding you’re simultaneously healing while actively parenting and teaching her? Where does it go? How long does it stay?

    These are all interesting questions and contemplations when considering energy and illness. Physical manifestations give way to that stuck energy. Ailments and sickness can arise. Depression, anxiety, fear…it can lurk beneath the surface and color what we see beneath.

    How do you tend to these energetic parts? How do we meet ourselves in a practice of healthy energetic hygiene?

    It takes awareness. First off, paying attention. Are you reacting instead of responding? Taking your first thought or feeling and finalizing it as fact? Or are you practicing stillness, silence, and contemplation? Getting curious with ourselves is a beautiful, compassionate tool for moving energy or acknowledging when things don’t feel good within you.

    Time for reflection, writing, intuitive physical movement, contemplative conversation, energy healing (distant or in person), touch, self healing. A body scan each morning, including a scan of your mental, emotional, and spiritual state. These are all tools we have access to.

    Everything is energy. We are all connected. Everything moves. Whatever state we are in will not last forever. So take a deep breath. Tell the heavy part of you it’s okay to move. It’s okay to release. Find that lightness within and celebrate. Give her life. Give her breath. Sustained breath.

    And remember, if you’ve been feeling a little stuck lately and would like support moving your energy or clearing any blockages, while I am at sea, I am available for distant Reiki sessions. We speak on the phone before and after the session, and access your healing during about an hour-long session where potent and beautiful transmissions occur.

    Also, if you’d ever feel called to connect beyond these letters, I’d love to offer you a complimentary 30-minute Connection Call. It would be an honor to connect more deeply and simply see what unfolds.

    Blessings,

    Audrey
