  • Love, Intuition, & Choosing Yourself

    A two-week energetic reading on self-loyalty, divine love, intuition, and the abundance that opens when we allow ourselves to truly receive.

    In this special two-week ahead reading for June 1–14, I share the collective energetic themes and medicine that emerged through the runes and animal wisdom for the beginning of June.

    This reading centers deeply around love, specifically the profound, unconditional love available through Spirit, Earth, the Divine Mother, and your own relationship with yourself.

    Together we explore the medicine of Dog energy: loyalty, self-trust, courage, and releasing the fear of not belonging. This reading asks us to examine where we may be abandoning ourselves in order to seek approval, and invites us back into deeper alignment with our own truth.

    The runes that came forward speak of:

    * unconditional nurturing love,

    * intuitive wisdom and answers arriving,

    * and the harvest and abundance that become possible when we allow ourselves to truly receive.

    This episode is an invitation to soften, listen, reconnect, and let yourself be held by love.

    In this episode:

    * The collective energy for June 1–14

    * Dog medicine and loyalty to self

    * Releasing fear of rejection or disapproval

    * Receiving unconditional love from Spirit and Earth

    * Intuition, wisdom, and answers coming through

    * The connection between receiving and abundance

    * Practices for reconnecting with love and inner guidance

    If you are wanting deeper energetic support, meditations, or healing practices to help you reconnect with the flow of love and life, check out my Shamanic Biomagnetism Healings course. These are on-demand energetic healing journeys combining shamanic healing and energetic biomagnetism practices to support regulation, reconnection, nourishment, and healing.

    And remember:You can always call in love.You can allow yourself to sit with it, receive it, and let it saturate your system.

    Thank you, as always, for being here with me. I hope this reading supports you beautifully as we move into June.

    And so it is. ✨

  • The Spiral of Becoming: Patience, New Beginnings & Trusting Divine Timing

    In this week’s reading, I explore the energy surrounding the Sagittarius Full Moon, the deeper process of becoming, and the importance of patience as we move through periods of transformation and identity shifts.

    This episode weaves together astrology, rune wisdom, and animal medicine to reflect on what it means to step into a new beginning without turning against ourselves in the process. I speak about learning to trust divine timing, releasing self-sabotage, and allowing dreams that have been quietly growing beneath the surface to finally begin taking shape.

    Together we explore:

    * The Sagittarius Full Moon and the dreams asking to be birthed

    * Rune messages around defense, new beginnings, and identity shifts

    * Ant medicine and the spiritual practice of patience

    * Trusting timing while continuing to build toward what you desire

    * The spiral nature of growth, becoming, and self-reinvention

    This reading is a reminder that becoming is not instantaneous. It unfolds in layers, through patience, trust, and the willingness to keep moving forward while remaining rooted in presence.

    I also share a brief update about upcoming week-ahead readings as I travel for my second in-person Womb Continuum Care training at the beginning of June. Be sure to follow along on Substack for updates and future readings while I’m away.

    If you are feeling called toward deeper energetic support, healing, and reconnection during this season of transformation, you can explore my on-demand course, Shamanic Biomagnetism Healings, where I guide you through energetic healing meditations designed to support the nervous system, body, spirit, and energetic field.

    Thank you, as always, for being here with me. Wishing you a beautiful and nourishing week ahead.

    And so it is.

  • Meeting the Spiral movement of Life

    This week’s energy is an invitation to meet the movement unfolding in your life from a place of balance.

    The energy of illumination continues to be present and important for us this week, as well as the energy of forward motion, and the spiral nature of life — the spiral of evolving, rebalancing, and becoming. This episode offers reflections on supporting yourself through change without losing your center, and learning how to move with life rather than against it.

    This week asks you to contemplate:

    * What wants to move forward in your life right now

    * Where you may be called into greater balance

    * How to support the person you are becoming

    * The spiral nature of healing, growth, and transformation

    May this reading offer grounding, clarity, and support for the week ahead.

    Thank you, as always, for being here with me. If something in this episode resonates deeply, I’d love to hear from you.

    And so it is.

  • Nourishing the Body, Womb & Soul

    In this episode of Blood, Belly & Stars, I explore nourishment as a deeply layered experience that extends far beyond food alone.

    This conversation moves through the many ways we nourish (or undernourish) ourselves physically, emotionally, spiritually, energetically, and through the womb space. I share pieces of my own healing journey with food, body image, fatigue, movement, nervous system regulation, and learning to reconnect with the body as a source of wisdom rather than control.

    Inside this episode, I explore:

    * Eating for true nourishment

    * The connection between nourishment, hormones, fertility, and cycle health

    * How unconscious beliefs around food shape our relationship with eating

    * Spiritual nourishment through nature, stillness, and soul connection

    * Energy leaks, overgiving, and learning to receive

    * The womb as both a physical and energetic center

    * Breath, posture, fascia, strength, and nervous system nourishment

    This episode is an invitation to become curious about the places your body, womb, nervous system, and soul may be asking for deeper care and support.

    If something in this conversation “pings” you, follow that thread.

    If this episode resonates, I’d love for you to share it, leave a review, or send me a note about what landed for you most.

    You can also follow along on Substack and YouTube for my weekly Monday readings and future teachings.

    And if you’re longing for deeper support in reconnecting with your body, womb, and soul, I currently offer mentorship and healing spaces for women seeking a more nourished way of living. Discover more here: https://www.shannonamrein.com

  • Illumination, Boundaries & Embracing the Unknown

    This week’s reading carries themes of illumination, patterns that live within ancestry and chosen family, boundaries, and trusting the unknown.

    Near the end of the week we have a New Moon in Taurus, happening on May 16th. With Uranus now out of Taurus for the first time in years, this moon may feel steadier and more supportive in a way that we haven’t experienced in a few years. This week is a good time to review the structures in your life to evaluate if they are still working for you or need to be updated.

    The runes and animal medicine for this week point towards:

    ✨ Illumination around family, ancestry, identity, and belonging✨ Recognizing patterns or inherited beliefs you no longer wish to carry✨ Strengthening boundaries and protecting your energy✨ Trusting yourself as you move into unfamiliar territory✨ Facing the unknown with courage and intuition

    This week’s animal medicine, Black Panther, invites you to move fearlessly into deeper self-discovery. Not everything can be mentally figured out right now, and that’s okay. Listen to your inner wisdom this week.

    There may be places where you realize:

    * “This no longer fits me.”

    * “I don’t want to carry this inherited pattern anymore.”

    * “I’m being called toward something new, even if I can’t fully see it yet.”

    The energy this week is powerful for releasing old identities, ancestral expectations, or dynamics that no longer feel aligned and creating space for your true self to emerge.

    Themes for reflection this week:

    * What am I ready to stop carrying?

    * Where do I need stronger boundaries?

    * What truth is asking to be illuminated?

    * Can I trust myself enough to step into the unknown?

    The energy this week supports both healing and integration. Remember as you move through the week that it’s not about having all the answers, as the unknown is part of the medicine this week. Continue to practice presence like I talked about last week and ask for support where you need it.

  • Presence, Joy & Living from the Heart

    This week’s energy invites you into presence.

    In a world that constantly pulls your attention outward, this is a week to return to what’s actually here: your body, your breath, your life, your immediate world. Presence is the medicine that reconnects you to what’s real, to what you can actually touch, feel, and influence.

    Layering under Presence this week is the theme of identity.

    Through the rune of Wunjo (a rune that has shown up over and over again this spring!), you’re being invited to anchor into who you truly are, beneath old stories, roles, and conditioned identities. You’re being asked to own who you are at your core.

    Alongside this, Hummingbird medicine brings in the frequency of joy, beauty, and lightness.

    Joy isn’t something far away; it lives in the small, present moments. But it requires your attention. When you slow down enough to notice it, you create space for more of it to enter.

    Themes this week:

    * Coming back to the present moment

    * Reclaiming your true, soul and heart-level identity

    * Letting go of mental noise and distraction

    * Inviting in joy, beauty, and lightness

    * Finding magic in the small, everyday moments

  • Illumination, Boundaries, and Letting the Light in

    This week’s energy invites illumination, truth, and refinement.

    With the Full Moon in Scorpio (May 1st), you may feel called to look beneath the surface, into the places you’ve avoided or protected.

    We’re also moving towards Bealtaine (May Day), a celebration of light and emergence. This is a moment to reconnect with vitality and consciously receive the light.

    Themes this week:

    * Illumination + deeper truth

    * Emotional depth and self-honesty

    * Refining what’s aligned (and releasing what’s not)

    * Boundaries: supportive vs. overprotective

    Guided by the energy of the sun (illumination) and Armadillo (boundaries), this week asks:

    Where might you be over-armored?

    What are you protecting that may now be ready to be seen, softened, or released?

  • Breaking Illusions and Becoming Who You Are

    In this week’s reading, I share the energetic themes guiding us forward for the upcoming week starting April 20th.

    We move from last week’s leadership-focused energy into something more subtle but just as powerful: Dragonfly medicine. This week invites you to finally see through illusions that may be keeping you stuck, comfortable, or disconnected from your true path.

    Alongside this, the rune Wunjo continues to come through, asking one core question: Who are you becoming?

    This is a week for clarity, identity, and transformation. A time to seek support, shift habits, and align more deeply with the version of yourself you’re ready to embody.

    ✨ In this episode:

    * Dragonfly medicine + seeing through illusion

    * Working with the elements for support

    * The continued message of identity and becoming

    * Why this is a powerful week to ask for guidance

  • Love Your Lips: From Disconnection to Devotion

    In this episode of Blood, Belly and Stars, I’m sharing the origin story behind my newest offering, Love Your Lips, a four-week journey into reconnecting with the vulva, the pelvis, and the body as a whole.

    I weave together pieces of my relationship, my work as a shamanic and womb care practitioner, and years of lived experience to explore a cultural narrative I keep noticing: how disconnected so many of us are from our bodies and even from our own genitals. I discuss how shame, conditioning, and lack of education shape the way we relate to these parts of ourselves, and why that matters more than we might think.

    This episode is an invitation to a new way of living, rooted in embodiment, reverence, and coming back into relationship with the body.

    I introduce Love Your Lips, a hands-on, anatomy-based program I created to support women in building a real, felt relationship with their vulva through touch, presence, and awareness. I walk you through what the four weeks include, who it’s for, and why this work can be so deeply transformative.

    If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, curious about deeper embodiment, or ready to shift your relationship with your pelvis and sexuality, this is your invitation inward.

    In this episode, I share:

    * What I’ve noticed about our cultural disconnection from the body and sexuality

    * Why shame around genitals is so common and where it comes from

    * How embodiment becomes a pathway for healing and reconnection

    * Pieces of my personal journey into womb and vulva work

    * What to expect inside the Love Your Lips program

    This is a conversation about coming home: to your body, your tissues, and yourself.

    Ready to go deeper?You can join me inside Love Your Lips, my four-week live experience designed to help you build a grounded, intimate, and loving relationship with your vulva through hands-on practice and guided support. We begin in May, and there’s a special founding rate available through the weekend.
