Joy can feel unfamiliar after a lifetime of survival.

In this episode, Li explores what it means to allow joy back into the body after trauma, silence, and emotional exhaustion. Drawing from Hexagram 58 – Duì: The Joyous Lake, we learn that joy isn’t about forced positivity, it’s about breathing freely again, choosing pleasure without guilt, and letting softness coexist with strength.

💧 Includes: reflection prompts + a Still Waters Pause to help you reconnect with grounded joy.

✨ You don’t have to earn your peace. You’re allowed to feel good again.

Boundaries are not walls, they are sacred truths that protect your peace.

In this episode, Li explores how boundaries become a form of spiritual and emotional integrity. Through the wisdom of Hexagram 9 – Xiǎo Chù: The Taming Power of the Small, we learn that change doesn’t have to be dramatic to be powerful. Gentle restraint, steady clarity, and small, consistent choices create lasting transformation.

🪶 Includes: reflection prompts + a Still Waters Pause visualization to help you strengthen your energetic field without closing your heart.

✨ Boundaries aren’t rejection. They are a return to alignment.

In this Scorpio Season mini episode of Still Waters with Li, we journey beneath the surface, where clarity replaces illusion and truth becomes the anchor.

This reflection invites you to slow down and meet your emotions with clear eyes and steady breath. Li shares the guidance of I Ching Hexagram 46 (Shêng – Pushing Upward), offering grounded insight into transformation, emotional containment, and the art of healthy boundaries.

You’ll also receive a somatic Still Waters Pause to reset your body and a Clear-Water Bowl ritual to keep your energy clean through Scorpio’s deep tides.

Because this season isn’t about fearlessness, it’s about faithfulness to what’s real.

✨ Themes: Emotional truth, grounded transformation, boundaries, Scorpio energy, I Ching wisdom

🕯️ Practice: 90-second grounding + Clear-Water Bowl ritual

EPISODE 3: Reclaiming Your Voice and Power
Silence was once your survival. Now it’s time to speak from truth.

In this episode, Li explores what it means to reclaim your voice after years of suppression, self-doubt, or spiritual conditioning. With guidance from Hexagram 34 – Dà Zhuàng (Great Power), this conversation reminds us that true power isn’t loud or forceful, it’s calm, rooted, and sovereign.

🪶 Includes: reflective journaling questions + a Still Waters Pause practice to reconnect with your voice through breath and vibration.

✨ This isn’t about shouting to be heard, it’s about remembering that your words carry weight, even in quiet spaces.

EPISODE 2: Breaking the Illusion of Obligation
Not every duty is sacred. Some are chains disguised as love.

In this episode, Li unpacks the ways guilt, cultural conditioning, and spiritual control teach us to follow out of fear instead of truth.

With insight from Hexagram 17 – Suí (Following), we explore what it means to yield with discernment rather than obedience, and how to walk in alignment without losing compassion.

💭 Includes guided reflection + breathwork for releasing internalized pressure.
🕯️ This isn’t rebellion, it’s remembering your right to choose what’s real.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, or Zhōngqiū Jié (中秋节), is a time of reunion, reflection, and gratitude beneath the full moon. In this special episode of Still Waters with Li, we explore the legends of Chang’e and the Jade Rabbit, the meaning of mooncakes and lanterns, and the deeper invitation this season offers: to honor fullness and emptiness in our own lives.

Join me for guided reflection and a Still Waters Pause as we return to wholeness under the luminous face of the moon.

The Harvest Moon rises: bright, full, and ancient in her wisdom.

EPISODE 1: The Weight of Inherited Wounds
We begin this series with truth, not performance.

Many of us carry patterns we didn’t choose: emotional enmeshment, spiritual control, fear disguised as love. In this episode, Li shares her own story of growing up in a tightly controlled environment and how she began the slow, sacred work of releasing what was never hers to carry.

We explore Hexagram 10 — Lǚ: Treading (Conduct) from the I Ching, a reminder that we can walk with awareness, even through treacherous paths, and not lose ourselves.

This is for anyone unlearning the roles they were forced to play.
And choosing their path forward: grounded, awake, and sovereign.

🌀 Includes: reflection prompts + a Still Waters Pause somatic grounding practice.

EPISODE 6 — Rebirth is a Ritual
Still Waters with Li | The Sacred Descent

Rebirth doesn’t mean starting over.
It means integrating what you’ve carried,
refining it into wisdom, and beginning again whole.

In this closing episode of The Sacred Descent, Li guides you through the sacred work of rebirth, a ritual of honoring the descent, blessing the fire that transformed you, and returning with strength. Anchored in Hexagram 50 — The Cauldron, we explore how what has been burned can now nourish.

🕯️ Inside this episode:
– Rebirth breath practice
– I Ching reflection on The Cauldron
– Guided meditation with the vessel of transformation
– A ritual to integrate your descent and bless your return

✨ Your rebirth is not performance. It is truth.

🎧 Press play when you’re ready to rise from the descent: carrying wisdom, not wounds.
