Saltwater and soulwork
what we remember when we're in harmony
Greetings!
Wow Taurus season came and went. Did you touch grass?
It’s been many moons since I’ve been in school but I still feel like the last two weeks of May are a transition period in which I can’t focus. Last day of school vibes.
The beginning of the month felt like a big intellectual push before summer break. The IFS level one training I assisted wrapped up 4 more long training days, and I immediately went to an island for a week with my metaphysics book club. That is a real thing lol. We gathered not just to study consciousness but to remember what we’re capable of when we’re together. Living out my commune dreams and honestly it was better than i could have imagined. Cooking together, holding space, laughing so hard it hurt, sharing ideas, easily waking up at 5am for a swim, supporting the whole.
In alignment with Taurus season, (fixed earth) the lush green farmland anchored our bodies and nervous systems to slowness and steadiness. Rooting in light tropical rain dusting the coffeebeans and papaya trees in the afternoon, while exploring layers of soul, energy, and embodiment. During this season we are called to create nourishing routines and tend to the physical world. The body becomes a grounding point for spiritual experiences. It’s not about transcending the body but fotifying it so that spirit can move through it more clearly. It’s regenerative. Taurus energy reminds us not to escape the physical but to sanctify it.
The body isn’t a burden but a vessel of consciousness deserving of reverence.
Our bodies are just an expression of something much bigger. A deep celluar knowing that we are not separate. A medium through which soul expresses it’s unique path. When we just see through the eyes of the body or the physical world, sometimes we spirial identifying with pain, story, or the roles we play. We’re not just flesh and thought but a frequency. Spirit dressed as form—the animating force. That is all around us, it moves through meals we cook, the ocean we swim, in daily gestures, in ideas taking shape in the mind. And it needs relationship to evolve. Not perfection but presence. Not performance but cohesion. It might seem obvious, but when we genuinely live in cohesion with others we start to tune into something deeper—we let ourselves be changed by love, discomfort, intimacy.
If body is the vehicle and spirit is the gas, then the soul is the driver. The soul is the unique imprint and individualized expression of the divine. It’s why we came here to express. And together in harmony soul and spirit use the body as a bridge between worlds. When we’re in community, valuing authenticy over image, we remember this. We feel spirit move between us, reminding us we’re not alone.
My hope is to stay in the current of spirit no matter if I’m in paradise or not. To always make space for nourishing community. We all need each other so much right now.
Sending you all so much love. 💕
