Intuition: The Body Always Knows First
“The only really valuable thing is intuition.”
~~ Albert Einstein
Greetings to all my precious people!!
We’ve crossed the threshold. Imbolc has passed as of February 1st, marking the first undeniable stirrings of light returning. In ten days, the Fire Horse year begins on February 17, 2026 — a rare, intense energy that arrives once every sixty years, bringing passion, creative force, and the demand for authentic expression.
January was about building SANCTUARY—creating the internal conditions where your true self could finally emerge. You learned to return to yourself, to create safety in your nervous system, to tend daily practices, to build resilience from restored reserves.
Now, in February, we explore what LIVES in that sanctuary:
Your intuition. Your body’s wisdom. Your direct knowing that doesn’t require external validation.
This month’s theme is SCIENCE MEETS SPIRIT—not as opposing forces, but as collaborators. We’re exploring what happens when neuroscience validates what mystics and healers have always known: Your body knows things your mind hasn’t caught up to yet.
And we’re beginning with the foundation of all embodied wisdom: intuition.

“Because true belonging only happens when
we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world,
our sense of belonging can never be greater than
our level of self-acceptance.”

We have arrived at the final Friday of 2025. The space between years. The liminal time when one cycle has completed and another hasn’t quite begun.
This is the deepest winter when Water season is at its peak. Maximum yin. The darkest dark before the light slowly returns. And our culture desperately wants to rush through this. To skip the fertile void. To jump straight into New Year’s resolutions, vision boards, and “New Year, New You” transformation programs.
But the soul knows better.

“We shall not cease from exploration.
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.”
~~ T.S. Eliot
Greetings to all my precious people!!
This is Thanksgiving week in the United States – a time traditionally set aside for gratitude, for gathering, for acknowledging what sustains us.
It’s also the final Friday of November.
The completion of our HOMECOMING arc.
We have cleared physical space, honoring the body as sacred vessel.
We have released ancestral patterns, choosing what to carry forward.
We have quieted the mental noise, creating space for deeper knowing.
Now we arrive at the deepest homecoming of all: returning to the soul that arrived here.
Not the self you’ve become through adaptation and survival.
Not the person you were taught to be.
But the essential YOU that existed before all the conditioning.
T.S. Eliot understood this: we explore, we journey, we search – and eventually, if we’re fortunate, we arrive back where we started and know the place for the first time.
We come home to who we’ve always been.

“I have arrived, I am home.”
~~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Greetings to all my precious people!!
We have cleared physical space. We have released ancestral patterns.
Now we arrive at the most persistent layer of homecoming: the mental clutter.
The planning. The strategizing. The constant need to figure it out, know what’s next, have all the answers. The 3am thought loops. The voice that says you’re not doing enough, being enough, achieving enough.
The noise.
We live in a culture designed to keep you mentally occupied. Distracted. Scrolling. Consuming information. Comparing. Planning. Optimizing.
But your soul is trying to speak. And it can’t be heard over the noise.
This week, as we approach Thanksgiving in the US – a time traditionally about gratitude and gathering – I want to invite you into something countercultural:
The practice of sacred not-knowing. Of creating mental space. Of coming home to the quiet.

“Your body is precious. It is your vehicle for awakening.
Treat it with care.”
~~ Buddha
Greetings to all my precious people!!
November has arrived. The trees are bare. The leaves have fallen. Nature shows us clearly: this is the season of letting go.
We are in Metal season now – autumn in Chinese Medicine, the element that governs release, refinement, and the grief that clears the way for new growth. Metal asks us to examine what we’re holding onto and why. To distinguish between what’s essential and what has simply accumulated.
But this is not about productivity. This is not about organizing your life into neat boxes.
This is about something far more sacred: returning to your original vessel.
The body you arrived with. The one that knew how to breathe, how to feel, how to trust its own rhythms before you were taught to ignore it, override it, perform through it.
Homecoming begins here – in the body. In the physical space you inhabit.
