Inside
each of us there are lush jungles, vibrant deserts, peaceful mountain
ranges, nourishing waters, abundant forests, and even some harsh
wastelands. This diverse landscape is where everything resides that
makes up the expression of who you are: your divine soul, your emotions,
your beliefs, your creativity, your intuition, as well as your trauma,
pain, and blocks. Journeying through this inner landscape brings
healing, acceptance, and integration of all these parts of yourself so
you can move through life with more ease.<br /><br />Using creativity and
intuition I translate the spiritual into the tangible to guide
open-hearted people like you into presence with your inner divine
landscape to live a more inspired connected life.<br /><br />I enjoy
observing and working in sync with natural cycles so at each new moon
I'll release the theme we'll be exploring. I'll provide various ways to
become present with this theme and apply it to your inner landscape
journey. These include oracle card readings, channeled spiritual wisdom,
guided meditative journeys, creative invitations, journaling prompts,
rituals, and other explorations depending on the theme.<br /><br />I have
personally used these
processes and tools for over a decade. In that time I've gained the
confidence
to fully pursue and take action on my desires and step through the fears
and blocks that have held me back in the past. I've learned how to
trust myself and live from a more connected, intentional place. I
continue to uncovered the true authentic me and embrace my own value. <br /><br />I delight in seeing these same results with my clients. It's opened up and enhanced their whole
life experience.

As a very young child I played in her meadows, splashed in her waters, and rested beside the ditch where my Papa would spend afternoons fishing for rainbow trout. He taught me how to fish in her flowing creeks, how to be mindful of her care, how to enjoy her simple pleasures, and how to respect her magnificence. He too saw her sacredness.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Through the years I spent many weekends exploring her hills and valleys collecting firewood and the perfect switch for roasting hot dogs and marshmallows during picnics and camping trips. Back then she wasn't so dry, she was lush and green, with little danger of wildfire. Her dark forests were perfect for watching the stars. Her meadows for collecting wildflowers. Her cliff's edge for picking elderberries. Her grasses for observing birds and wildlife. </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Mama LaSal held me as I skipped through the trees looking for deer with Gran. Not realizing the true purpose of why we were there, I excitedly whispered that I spotted one. It was shot and cleaned as I watched with wide eyes. A rite of passage. A new understanding of life cycles and how Mama LaSal also provides food for families. </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Mama LaSal held me as I grew through my angsty teen years, giving me space to explore my independence. She showed me beautiful vast lands to hike with friends and boyfriends and held space for a first kiss. Then later, exploring those lands with my husband. There have been many day drives to observe the changing seasons, delighting in the vivid fall colors and the fresh spring wildflowers.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Mama LaSal held me and taught me how to trust her quiet, wise leadership. When I was hiking with my mom and sister the rain began to move in and we could not find our way back, I listened and she led me back to the path. When it was important to find a specific tree to gather around for a celebration of life, I paused to listen and she led me right to the spot. When I was hiking alone last summer and ended up lost, I listened through the fear and she led me home. </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Mama LaSal has held me as I watch my daughters grow and enjoy her wild space just as I have. </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Now with heavy heart in my chest and tears running down my cheeks, I hold her as she burns. </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">My memories are intertwined with the roots of her trees and grasses.

Embodying the full spectrum. Groundedness and circulation. Firm and
gentle. Wise and playful.<br /><br />The dictionary page that I intuitively turned to includes the word nucleus, the center of the atom, the center of creation.<br /><br />Across the margin talks about nuclear weapons.<br /><br />I find this dichotomy of destruction and creation in relationship to the elements very interesting.<br /><br />Destruction
is built within the process of creation. In creating a painting, you
are destroying a white canvas. In building a home, you are destroying an
empty space.<br /><br />It's also this way in life. Creating something new
in our lives requires us to let go of a certain way of being. Healing
requires us to let go of drama and trauma.<br /><br />It can be a challenging process yet creating something new in our lives is always fulfilling.<br /><br />Comment below:<br />What are you in the process of destroying and creating?<br /><br />Art

of change, a rebirth even. You've been working on letting go of the
past, of all of the things that you are outgrowing. You are shedding
your old skin like the snake. <br /><br />At some point it's important to
see that you have transformed. Now is that time. See the beauty of the
changes that have been happening within you. Yes, we will always
continue our growth, but take some time to reflect on what new aspects
you see within yourself now. Are you more brave, caring, emotionally
intelligent? Acknowledge all of this work you have done and what you
have achieved. Remind yourself, "I am transformed." <br /><br />A nourishing
aspect of this growth has been a deepening connection to your inner
light. Trust your light, your heart whispers, your gut knowing. As the
lighthouse shines for ships in the dark, follow your inner light to
guide each new step on your journey ahead. </span><p></p><p><span class="">Contemplation questions: <br />What new aspects do I see within myself now that I am transformed?<br />How can I deepen into trusting my inner light? <br /><br />Save this post to review during this coming cycle. </span></p><p><span class="">Oracle: I Am Everything card deck by <a class="notranslate" href="https://www.instagram.com/iamandco/" tabindex="0">@iamandco</a>, Tessera Oracle by <a class="notranslate" href="https://www.instagram.com/tesseraoracle/" tabindex="0">@tesseraoracle</a></span></p>SaraAmariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07289817574802899621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317044721820900470.post-56372202265146616542021-02-23T18:01:00.001-07:002021-08-12T18:04:53.834-06:00Bringing Sunshine<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoIHV9PMZ5GAaAVkIXyzSNmsJc__NR9M-BPzf3yWdkEQ-3fPglm9qeVSednxw1V1zvEEb57W3tbgNrhq2ex8yzM_cd6bszkFbjA5Agk0d9hDpk9nAj6CqXeWBh9FrtHSTAaSz1Hi0VgmM/s2048/20210325_154949.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2043" data-original-width="2048" height="638" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoIHV9PMZ5GAaAVkIXyzSNmsJc__NR9M-BPzf3yWdkEQ-3fPglm9qeVSednxw1V1zvEEb57W3tbgNrhq2ex8yzM_cd6bszkFbjA5Agk0d9hDpk9nAj6CqXeWBh9FrtHSTAaSz1Hi0VgmM/w640-h638/20210325_154949.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span class="">Bringing some sunshine into the last days of winter. </span><p></p><p><span class="">I forgot how much I enjoy black linework on top of watercolor. </span></p><p><span class="">How are you doing in this time between winter and spring?

is an immense difference between a group of minority people fighting to
receive basic equal rights, justice, and treatment and a group of
domestic terrorists staging a violent insurrection at the Capitol of our
country. The distinction between the motives of these two groups can
not be compared. <br /><br />So no, I do not condemn the actions of the

if we learned to be with the uncomfortableness of our challenges. Sit
with it. Hold it in our hearts until it's healed rather than packing it
away in a dark corner of our mind to fester. Rather than dissociating,
ignoring, or escaping from it. Instead, being gentle with ourselves,
loving ourselves through it, and sharing with others in ways that are
nourishing. <br /><br />What if we normalized the things that make us human?

The last day of 2020, a pivotal year full of many emotions. <br /><br />Pivotal: adj. "of crucial importance in relation to the development or success of something else." <br /><br />There
have been many descriptions of 2020, the most prevalent being that it's
been a dumpster fire. Let's think about what a dumpster fire actually
does, it burns away the unneeded trash to create space. That is truly
what 2020 has done. <br /><br />This year has shaken the whole world out of
our slumber, out of our ruts, and out of our rigid thinking of how
things "have to be." It has crumbled the foundations of how we do work
and school and brought innovation where there's been stagnation. <br /><br />It's
opened our eyes further to crushing racial injustice and given voice to
the voiceless. We can now clearly see the shadow side of our world that
has kept us humans numb to the desperate needs of our neighbors near
and far. <br /><br />The challenge, tragedy, and devastating loss of this year has encouraged us to look deeply at what we value. <br /><br />We
will never be the same. We've completed a difficult chapter of history
and now we're starting a new one. With all this new knowledge and
understanding, we can move forward in better ways. <br /><br />We can claim
our creative abilities and build beautiful new foundations and systems
that support the needs of each one of us, not just a few. We can all
move from barely surviving into thriving. <br /><br />It'll take action.
What lights you up, inspires you, and gets you motivated? How can you
put that to use to help others? What's your first step? This is your
gift, your unique contribution to the world! <br /><br />So yes, it's been a
pivotal year. Challenging and excruciating at times yet essential for
our growth as a planet. How will you move forward from this place?</span><p></p>SaraAmariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07289817574802899621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317044721820900470.post-67004433860310671822020-12-30T10:30:00.004-07:002021-07-30T12:59:21.486-06:00You Are Powerful<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3tJpZnbXz4GpSh9uafM5u044qbxbnPNihhxrddQ1InUOX3sPjwPp4gbGravnvsTGYp3cuvj6Ev32W6WqliZ8hJJfBOexwr0fDilxf-2G3Gy2nwhaLPp42QJiH8ceHxsUHEnmuTA8hd64/s2048/20201230_143134.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3tJpZnbXz4GpSh9uafM5u044qbxbnPNihhxrddQ1InUOX3sPjwPp4gbGravnvsTGYp3cuvj6Ev32W6WqliZ8hJJfBOexwr0fDilxf-2G3Gy2nwhaLPp42QJiH8ceHxsUHEnmuTA8hd64/w480-h640/20201230_143134.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><span class="">You are more powerful than you know!

you know that you are not alone. Yes, YOU! You're not alone. You have

assistance. Professional resources.<br /><br />Stop for a moment. Put your
hands on your heart. Take a slow breath. Feel the warmth of your hands.
Know that you are loved. You are valuable. Your life matters.</span></p>SaraAmariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07289817574802899621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317044721820900470.post-1492888753549053692020-09-11T11:30:00.001-06:002021-07-27T22:26:45.084-06:00Write Your Fire!<p><span class=""> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoIyj4Xg2qDgJCQ7yDHhOpN1LInN_1XNiXdpqNVDm13IpmdtcxnDGAvq5C2nGSsbv4HVVWugnyhTU84Kv-zJJb9aHsw_4fHDQQWfcwlxi1tgEjhBcndcVT-gS15dNL7knpss1ivQ-Xq5M/s2048/20200911_163430.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoIyj4Xg2qDgJCQ7yDHhOpN1LInN_1XNiXdpqNVDm13IpmdtcxnDGAvq5C2nGSsbv4HVVWugnyhTU84Kv-zJJb9aHsw_4fHDQQWfcwlxi1tgEjhBcndcVT-gS15dNL7knpss1ivQ-Xq5M/w640-h480/20200911_163430.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span class="">Write your fire!</span></p><p><span class="">I approached this piece pondering the
