Sacred Geometry

“Sacred geometries are the foundations of transmitting higher frequencies of energy and awareness, from soul to soul, and across the Universe.  Though usually “unseen” from a 3D physical perspective, they are the creative and, quite literally, en-lightening structures of soul awakening, ascension, and healing.” (From this website)

I recently received an intuitive message that I should begin to work with sacred geometry to manifest my vision. I don’t know a lot about it, but I am excited to learn more. If you happen to have any information, websites, book recommendations, etc. please let me know!

A Sunday Morning Card Reading

I love doing an oracle card reading for myself when I am facing a particular issue, or even when I just want to know the energy trends surrounding me. This morning after a peaceful meditation, I pulled cards from the Angel Answers deck by Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine.

The cards I got were: Big, happy Changes, It’s Up to You, Success, Helpful People, Yes, and Ask for Help from Others. When I pull cards for myself, I also believe that they are world energies. The cards in my reading also apply to anyone who might be reading this blog post.

Basically, have hope, you will be successful, ask for and accept the help that comes to you because nothing big is accomplished in isolation. And remember, it’s up to you! You have free will on this journey through life. What do you want most? What is your soul calling for you to do, be, or become? You can do it!

Happy Sunday Everyone!

Intuitive Journaling

I have often written about journaling on this blog. However, I have recently transitioned to automatic writing for about 20 minutes every morning. This has allowed me to tap into a higher guidance system. Rather than writing about problems or fears I am having, I pose a question, connect with my higher self, and allow myself to write down the wisdom that comes to me. I have found this to be both empowering and healing, as it allows me to step out of my day-to-day story and into a higher perspective.

This morning I sat in my meditation corner, listening to healing music, wrapped in a cozy blanket. I had trouble sleeping last night because a lot was on my mind. A project I am involved in is taking longer than I had hoped to get off the ground, and there is a lot up in the air. Instead of harping on this story, I wrote this:

What is the potential for you, if you were able to see the future as something that could be known–that there are many probable future destinations. You have the power to choose which outcome you would most like to see. The outcome you would like should be focused on solely for it to come into physical manifestation. You can draw pictures, create a vision board, and ask to see this for the highest good. When you think of how to serve others, your power increases significantly. It you were to focus on numbers and money, people would sense your fear and stay far away. But, when you focus on service and affirm that you will receive more than enough to meet your needs, all will be done in Divine Timing.

Much more empowering than a whiny journal entry about money!

If you happen to be in the area, I’m giving a workshop on Intuitive Journaling at Terraloka Wellness in Kent, CT on October 11th. Comment below if you’d like to join!

Hello Again!

It has been almost exactly a year since I last posted on SpiritualiTea. Although there have been many changes, my overall mission has remained the same: to offer a warm, safe space to explore spirituality (with tea).

What has been going on for me? Well, I became a life coach (yay!), began doing professional intuitive readings, left my job…more on that in a later post. I’m currently living life on my terms and have never felt happier, or more inspired! I began creating other blogs that I thought would perhaps express my new self, but in the end I’ve come back to SpiritualiTea as my home.

I’m excited to begin posting here again with a new voice and renewed passion.

There will be book suggestions, helpful resources, musings on my own spiritual life, and of course tea!

I also have a new feature: I will soon be venturing into the video podcasting world, and I hope to take you along with me! Each week I will post a new video providing an intuitive reading for the coming week’s energies. Grab a cup of tea and sit down with me on Sunday morning to find out what the week will bring for you.

Finally, I have two exciting offerings: the first is an online course that trains you to be a SpiritualiTea Facilitator in your community. Learn how to start a group, keep it going, gain members, find friends, and make a little extra money along the way!

Second, I am offering private intuitive readings by phone or Skype. I would love to get to know you and offer clear, accurate, empowering guidance on any challenges you are currently facing.

It feels good to be back.

Peace,
Shannon

The Wild Woman Project

I wanted to share a new training that I am a part of:

The Wild Woman Project with Chris Maddox

I just found out about this training, and I signed up at the last minute. I am so glad I did! Chris has gathered a circle of 25 women to train to facilitate new moon circles around the world. A new moon circle is a gathering where we set intentions at the new moon as a community. Magic happens here! It is powerful to be part of such a strong community of women.

After my training, I will be holding circles locally in CT, and telecircles as  well.

I am also starting a life coaching training program in NYC.

If you are interested in being a part of the telecircle or if you want complimentary life coaching while I am in my training, please comment on this post! I would LOVE to work with you!

Gaia Girls

Hi everyone! I invite you to check out the sister blog to SpiritualiTea, Gaia Girls. I am beginning to pursue life coaching certification, and I plan on specializing in working with teen girls and young women. Gaia Girls will have lots of fun information about spirituality, meditation, and will chronicle my own journey as a coach. There is also information about how you can work with me if you’re interested! I will continue to occasionally update SpiritualiTea, but most of my work will now be on Gaia Girls. I look forward to seeing you over there!

Big News!

Big news to share! I am getting bigger…well at least in one area! I’m excited to share that I am having a baby! I’m due in April. If you haven’t seen me on the blog lately it has been due to morning sickness (actually constant, all day sickness in my case) and a general busyness and exhaustion. I hope to be posting much more frequently now that the notorious first trimester is behind me.

I am also starting a new online (and in-person) writing service through my new project Creative Writing Connections. Having taught and tutored English, creative writing, and writing instruction for several years, I felt it was time to expand to a larger audience. I am offering guidance for budding creative writers, as well as direct writing instruction for students of all ages and college admissions essay writing help. Although I live in Connecticut, I am happy to work with people all over the world. I have experience working with people who are learning English as a second language, as well as students with learning disabilities. Writing instruction is quite conducive to phone/Skype and email sessions.  Check out my new website www.creativewritingconnections.weebly.com for more information if you happen to be interested!
