Blossoming of the heart. 💚

Here we are halfway through our time together. Today is all about softly and gently inviting our to slowly blossom open one breath, and one petal at a time.

🫖🌹Today’s Tea Ritual

Create a quiet, tender space.

Sit with your tea.

Invite one hand over your heart. Breath in to that sacred space.

Invitation to close your eyes.

Invite three slow breaths.

With each inhale, feel the space beneath your hand, the sacred heart.

With each exhale, allow a softening.

Whisper inward:

I am safe to open.

Let the words be an invitation, and land within your heart.

🧘‍♀️ Restorative Pose

Supported Heart Opener

Place a bolster or pillow lengthwise along your spine.

Let the breath move gently through the heart space.

Affirmation invitation.

My heart opens with gentleness and trust. Repeat gently three times like a mantra.

Welcome Beloved Community,

Today we begin gently.

Not with force, not with urgency, or any expectations,
but with a soft return to the body.
To our breath, our spirit,
to those quiet stirrings deep within our inner landscape.

Spring, is not loud in her beginning.
She whispers, and today we listen with an open loving awareness to the language of what it means to awaken. To tend to the soil of our inner garden and allow ourselves to bloom, with patience, love, compassion and presence.

Every offering over these seven days is an invitation. You can choose to do one practice, ritual or do them all. Your own space, on your own time- create a sanctuary, build an altar, and invite yourself into the space fully.

Before you come into practice, please prepare your herbal infusion, have a journal, a pen, and all props for our restorative posture such as a blanket, pillow, and bolster.

We meet in the Meadow 🌸

Create a small moment of intention.

Light a candle if you feel called.
Sit quietly with your tea.
Place one hand on your heart, one on your belly.

Take three slow breaths.

Whisper inward:

I am ready to awaken gently.

Let this be enough.

A soft beginning.

• 2 parts Nettle

• 1 part Tulsi

• 1 part Rose

• ½ part Ginger

• ½ part Lemon balm

  ( parts refers to measurement.) TB, 1 cup, 1: Cup etc. )

• What within me is beginning to awaken?

• What did I notice in my body today?

• What intention feels true for this week?

Write softly. There is no need to force clarity.

Today is not about transformation or perfection.
It is about beginning, a soft opening, and
a quiet yes.

You have already stepped onto the path.

I will meet you tomorrow for Day 2 — Clearing & Flow.

Xoxo, Deborah 🌸

Good morning.

This is your gentle return, a soft place to land in the middle of everything.

So often many of us find ourselves living in the past, the future and ignore the beauty in the gift of presence. we believe that we have to accomplish everything we set out to do or we aren’t good enough, worthy, or capable.

It is those small, mindful moments of being present with our bodies, our breath and the nature around us where we can set everything down for just a moment and take a deep breath into gratitude. Just for today we allow ourselves to root, to rest, and to receive.

Come as you are.

Take what you need.

Leave the rest.

Just for today, that is enough 🤍

Xoxo,

Deborah 🪷

We begin April 5~11.

Moving with intention.

There is a way of moving through the world that does not require force, a way of rising that is not rushed, a way of beginning that feels like devotion instead of demand. This morning practice is a soft returning.

Before the responsibilities, before the tending, before the creating, the offerings and holding space for others.

It is a remembering, that you get to choose your pace, that how you move can be deliberate, that your presence is powerful when it is grounded.

This is a breath-led practice to anchor your nervous system, soften any urgency to do, and instead infuse your day with quiet clarity.

💚For those who are building something sacred.

💚For those who are healing.

💚For the those who refuse to rush their becoming.

A invitation to find stillness before your day begins.

Place your hand on your heart.

And let intention lead.

Rest well, Be Well

🌿☀️ Xoxo, Deborah

Hello and welcome beloved community.

Here we are together to nourish our bodies, minds, and spirits in this Season of Rest. A sacred pause as we enter the Winter Cave.

Winter asks us to slow in ways the world rarely allows.

Today’s meditation practice is an invitation to step out of urgency and into shelter—to create a felt sense of safety and containment in the body. In Ayurveda, Winter is Vata season, and grounding is essential for calming the nervous system. Trust in yourself in this practice and listen to what you need. Remember this is a practice and you hold the key to your own inner world.

Find a comfortable shape for your body, and invite Mother Earth to hold you.

There is nothing to accomplish here, except presence, coming to yourself.

Be well, rest well.

Xoxo, Deborah 🪷

Good morning, welcome to our morning practices. Invitation to find a cozy spot as we drop into our heart space and breathe together and set our intention for the week ahead.

In gratitude,

Deborah xoxo
