Midsummer Dreams for Heart Coherence

My dearest people …

We are in the deep middle of the Season of the Heart, where the energetics of the Sun are strongest, sending us Vitamin D and serotonin, and the Earth is alive with an abundance of colors and fragrances.  Flowers are feeding the bees, butterflies and hummingbirds, and the bunnies scampering in the grass are so abundant this year!  We are midway in our journey through the Year of the Yin Rabbit, and the message continues to be: cultivate inner stillness, inner quiet, and reconnect with our innate wisdom and guidance by aligning ourselves with the coherence of our hearts.  continue reading »
