January Energy Message
After the clarity, shifting, releasing, and realizations that took place at the end of 2021, January is the inhale. Take a moment to pause and get really present, then without forcing observe a deep in breath. Notice the taking in, the receiving. Notice too, that it takes a moment of releasing thought, of quieting the mind to become open enough to release restrictions and receive the in breath with ease.
January is about embodying the release and receptivity needed to open to receiving, to inhale fully and with a faith filled ease.
This month, pay close attention to your mental energy. Notice what thoughts are on repeat, and what greater patterns—crevices in your experience—you are creating.
Ever the realist, Capricorn invites you to get honest with yourself about where you’re blocking your dreams and your potential. The new Moon in Capricorn on January 2nd is a good time to plant seeds that align with realistic change. What do you need to work on to move forward on your path?
This month, and all of this year, we can begin putting the pieces together and rebuilding after shifts, movement, and change. The new Moon will be a great time to take stock. Ask yourself, what’s here and true now that I can work with and how can I best work with it? Ask yourself, what dreams are here now ready for me to believe in them enough to let them in?
Water is a gift and a tool this month. Cancer is Capricorn’s opposite. Water softens and shapes earth. Water helps us wash away blocks and open to receiving. The full Moon in Cancer on the 17th is a good time to work with moving your emotional blocks so you can open to receiving what is yours more deeply. It is also the Full Wolf Moon. Call in wolf energy, howl at the moon, celebrate your path fiercely. Look how far you’ve come!

Some thoughts on the New Year…
2022 is a 6 year which corresponds to the Lovers card (a Gemini archetype) in the Tarot. Some themes you can to work with are:
discernment and decision making
aspects of identity
embracing and understanding complexity
acknowledging intersectionality
wholeness (and what it takes to be whole)
duality & unity (i.e. shadow & light, body & spirit, freedom & structure)
A guiding question for this month and this year might be:
When I am aligned, when I am embracing wholeness, what am I creating as a result?
There is a magical “3rd space” that comes from the collaboration of two (or more) sides, parts, energies etc. The third space might be a better way forward for the collective, full of our wildest dreams of peace and vibrance.
Use discernment this year to be sure what you’re creating is what you deeply want. Use receptive energy to call what’s yours to you and co-create with the Universe. When you combine your mental energy with the loving, healing, and creative energy of the cosmos; when you open your heart to receiving and creating in alignment with your Truth, what comes next is magical. ∞
New Year appointments for Reiki sessions available
Reiki is a healing modality that helps balance energy & release blocks. It supports relaxation & transformation. I’m currently offering 4 types of Reiki sessions and pet Reiki!
“I was curious about Reiki so I took a first session with Emily. I ended up taking 3 extra sessions. Each session made me feel ULTRA-relaxed, as well as liberated from different blockages. I love the feeling of being taken care of in a deep and gentle way.”
