Hi there, Woah you guys, what a time! First I ran 100 miles, then an Aries Full Moon hit. Now I am in the final 2 weeks of prep for my wedding!! Talk about big energy! Through it all, Autumn has arrived in full force. Not only did the leaves decide to change early, but the wild tides of climate change have also brought a torrent of rain to the high desert here in New Mexico. Things are wonky. That means things are shifting! Everything is shifting, isn't it? And if you find yourself clinging...

Embodiment. It means a lot of things depending on who you ask. For me, it's simple: Em - bodiment: Being in conscious connection to all parts of self (most notably, those parts of self that have been consciously cut off in your body). To understand this, you have to understand that hundreds (and even thousands) of years of colonialization have embedded these ways of being where we are actively taught to keep our attention outward. Don't pay attention to body. That's weakness. That's sin....

Hi there, We are in a powerful week! With the New Moon in Virgo coming up on Thursday, September 10th, we are steeping in that grounded sort of magic that I just love (and that we are all here for, yes?). It's like, can we be realistic? I mean, seriously... can we stop all the bullshit stories that have us drifting in the realm of the airy fairy, and can we be present in this world in a way that is needed? Can we take action where it matters? Can we do so without all the excuses that delay...

Hi there, How are we all doing? Hanging in there? Paying attention? Doing your best not to get pulled down in the dark series of atrocities that is current reality? Over here, I find life to be a constant tug-of-war: What do I pay attention to? What actually needs my attention? But also, when do I need to give myself space from it all? Because, between trying to make enough money to survive in a world that is getting more and more expensive, I am also basking in some of life's greatest of...

"A holistic spirituality is one that works within self, and with self in connection to the world beyond. It is not selfish, just as it is not selfless." When I set out to create The Embodied Path, I realized what we need is a clear set of foundational practices for becoming grounded, centered, and aligned beings who are skillfully discerning our way through life. In other words, I was asking myself, "What are the sort of spiritual 'bread and butter' practices that are essential for becoming...

Hi there, I am coming to you today with the most amazing news! My favorite person on this Earth has released his book, The Way of The Sphinx, and I was able to snag the first interview - one filled with talk of spirituality, what it looks like to bring our world back into alignment, and his new model of The Zodiac (one that at last brings greater alignment and coherence to what has traditionally been quite the messy model). Albert Mitchell is a practicing occultist and spiritual teacher with...

In the world? Both are essential qualities to be embodied as you walk through life. The...
