The Recalibration Pivot

By Kathy Casey | Published April 10, 2025

Awaken, and sleep no more—

Brief are the days of life.

~~ Mirabai

Greetings to all my precious people!!

Mars, the warrior planet, has been absolutely shaking things up lately, and while the chaos might feel destabilizing, it is nonetheless necessary. From now until late May, please examine all that is important to you and assess what has been on the back-burner waiting for the “right” time. There are no perfect moments, no better options—there is only the here and now. So make a point of either taking a stand or instigating a movement about things that really matter to you.  continue reading »

Minestrone with Quinoa Recipe

By Kathy Casey | Published April 9, 2025

This is a vibrant, nourishing soup that supports overall vitality and balance, aligning with the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Quinoa, considered sweet and neutral in nature, strengthens spleen qi, supports digestion, and provides sustained energy without being overly heavy. The medley of vegetables—carrots, celery, zucchini, and leafy greens—nourishes the spleen and liver, promoting blood health, detoxification, and digestive harmony. Tomatoes, slightly cooling and acidic, help clear heat and nourish yin, balancing the dish’s warming spices like oregano and basil, which enhance qi circulation and support digestive function. Spinach or kale further supports liver and blood health, promoting detoxification and internal balance. At ~210 calories per serving, this fiber- and nutrient-rich soup is a light yet satisfying option, making it ideal for those seeking a harmonious, energy-boosting meal that strengthens digestion, promotes circulation, and supports overall well-being.  continue reading »

The Sacred Presence

By Kathy Casey | Published April 3, 2025

“We must be willing to get rid of the life we planned

so as to have the life that is waiting for us.”

~~ Robert Frost

Greetings to all my precious people!!

April has finally arrived, announcing the season of Spring in all her magnificent glory! The budding trees, colorful crocuses, happy daffodils, fragrant hyacinth, and bursting yellow forsythia petals are part of the ancient cycle of Nature in rebirth. The potent incubation of Winter supported this unfolding celebration of renewal and exuberance. Can you feel the vibrations of new life surrounding you? Breathe in the sweetness, listen to the birdsongs, feel the warmth of the sun on your body. We, too, are part of the rebirth that is happening all around us. But nothing is clear nor settled right now. Instead, the shroud of post-eclipse dust lingers. And we are in the midst of a particularly shadowy recalibration.  continue reading »
