3 Simple Wholistic Hacks That Will Inspire Your Mind During Gemini Season
Invocations and Secrets to Healing
If you’re anything like me, you like to switch things up. If things have gotten stagnant or you’re kinda bored with your routine or you know the results for your efforts could improve, then I’d love to share a few things I’ve switch up during Gemini Season. And what better time to make some adjustments than when the cosmos are in a mutable sign! Change is definitely in the air.
Gemini season, which occurs from approximately May 21 to June 20, is associated with the astrological sign Gemini. This period is linked to themes of communication, adaptability, and intellectual curiosity.
Gemini is a mutable air sign, symbolizing change and adaptability. During Gemini season, most of us may feel more open to change and willing to embrace new experiences.
That’s because, this period encourages flexibility in thinking and behavior, making it an ideal time for adjusting to new circumstances and exploring different perspectives. The energy of Gemini promotes quick thinking and the ability to pivot when necessary, helping individuals to navigate transitions smoothly.
Ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, Gemini season emphasizes the importance of exchanging ideas and information.
This period is characterized by increased social interactions, networking, and collaborative efforts. As we engage in more conversations and share our thoughts, we can gain new insights and make connections that facilitate change.
Gemini season inspires curiosity and a desire for knowledge. This time is perfect for learning new skills, taking up new hobbies, or delving into subjects that pique one's interest.
The intellectual stimulation associated with Gemini encourages us to question the status quo and seek out innovative solutions.
So let’s stimulate that brilliant mind of yours with a few simple wholistic hacks to get those juices flowing during Gemini season!
Yesterday, during my masterclass, Exploring the Element of Earth, inside the Alchymia Membership we discussed the Symbol of the Black Crow. It is no coincidence that on my walk together there was a flock of black crows! This was just the confirmation I needed to continue the transformative path I’ve recently taken to create better habits and get better results for my efforts.
3 Simple Wholistic Hacks That Will Inspire Your Mind During Gemini Season
Firstly, I want to mentioned that no matter where you are in your healing journey (it’s an ongoing process with no real destination except to feel more alive, more aligned, and activated in my day to day life), these 3 things are simple and product great results with VERY little effort.
So let’s get you inspired to take your healing journey to the next level!
WHOLISTIC HACK #1 - KEEP IT SIMPLE
A little backstory for this hack is in order… at the beginning of 2024 I decided to take up ballet as a form of fitness. Over the past decade, I’ve really leaned on have a personal fitness instructor or trainer because I’ll be honest, I need the accountability. I found a lovely lady on Thumbtack who came to my home 2 times per week.
Because my home is jam-packed with inventory for The Occult Chateau shop that is opening *very soon* here in Saint Petersburg, Florida, we opted to use my back patio for the sessions. It was actually delightful.
The problem was, I just had too many things on my mind. With all the odds and ends cluttering my home, elixirs I’ve crafted crowding my dining room table, thousands of flowers drying as a design feature for the shop, my headspace was too occupied to learn a new “language”.
The thing about ballet is that it’s French — and like all movement, there is a language. Only in this case, it was a language barrier that my brain just didn’t have the capacity for.
After a few short months, I decided it was time to call it quits and give my mind a break from learning a new skill while trying to squeeze in some exercise.
Okay, so my point for this trick is to KEEP IT SIMPLE.
I suppose I never realized that my busy mind would be better suited for an easier exercise routine. Apparently learning ballet was just too much for my life, even though I simply love the technique and wearing a leotard and tights! Oh well.
It took me a couple weeks to trade the private ballet sessions for something else, because I just wasn’t sure what IT should be.
I decided to take up walking. Since it is already something I know how to do (ha!), it was sorta a no-brainer, which is exactly what I needed.
I found a free app to track my progress and to act as my “fitness instructor”. I started getting really into it! I already love to read and what’s better than being able to listen to an audiobook while I get my daily movement in. And I really love seeing how many steps and miles I can cram into my day.
It’s been a total game-changer!
WHOLISTIC HACK #2 - (Secret) USE WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE
Don’t get me wrong, I love buying new stuff when I start a new routine — it helps amp up the motivation. Heck, I just bought some new sports bras that are more cropped than the ones I have because I plan to get a tan while I’m walking. HA.
But this trick is even more awesome than buying something knew. It’s about using what you already have, and perhaps, in a new way.
Recently, I released a new elixir called Pure Skin. I made it initially as part of my skincare routine, to use while watching a movie.
Essentially, I use a few drops and then I use a Gua Shu for a few minutes while I chill on the sofa. I’ve been doing this for months and I gotta say, my skin looks stellar. It’s really great for smoothing out fine lines (around my mouth, forward, and eyes).
Having infused the oil for 6 weeks, it’s a potent lil babe.
But, that got me thinking…
If it’s so good for my face, why don’t I use it on my legs too?
And this is what my second trick is: USE WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE.
I decided to trade in my natural lotion, which was almost gone anyway, for my Pure Skin Elixir. Once I get out of the shower, I drizzle a little of the oil over each of my legs and rub it in. It’s heavenly and my legs are just so damn smooth! Best part, is a little goes a long way.
Why purchase more lotion, when my potent little elixir does the job just as well and smell better too!
Is there a product, piece of clothing, heck, even some food in the fridge that needs a new purpose? Why not pull it out and get creative! No to mention, save a few bucks buying something else.
WHOLISTIC HACK #3 - AN OLDIE BUT GOODIE (*yet, easily forgotten)
Let’s be real, there are a zillion trends going on at any given moment in the world of health, fitness, and even spirituality, but some things work for life. While the majority of people are looking for that magick pill to get overnight shipping for on Amazon, most of the time those pills don’t take into consideration the individuals Alchemical Constitution.
Adaptogens and superfoods are more trendy now than ever and it’s easy to get caught up in the hype. But the truth is, not all herbs work for everyone. Sure, you can take Turmeric, but what if your Alchemical Constitution is already Fire? Turmeric is going to heat up that Fire even more, which will just disrupt that individual even more. This is why I don’t like seeing people purchase a bunch of herbs without knowing their Alchemical Constitution first.
The supplement industry is treating herbs like allopathic medicine, which goes against true wholistic healing.
So, for this hack I want to bring us back to an oldie but goodie.
If you’ve studied the work of Dr. Emoto, then you already know the power of WATER when it’s infused with high vibration, Solfeggio frequencies, binaural beats, and affirming words.
Let’s explore his work a little deeper…
Dr. Masaru Emoto was a Japanese author and researcher known for his work on the hidden messages in water. His teachings and findings suggest that water can respond to human emotions and intentions, and these responses can be observed through the molecular structure of the water itself.
Here are some key points from Dr. Emoto's teachings on the hidden messages of water:
Water's Ability to Hold Information:
Dr. Emoto found that water has the ability to hold and transmit information. He found that water molecules can be influenced by thoughts, words, and emotions, and this influence can alter the molecular structure of water.
Experiments with Water Crystals:
Emoto conducted experiments where he exposed water to various stimuli, including words, music, and prayers. He then froze the water and photographed the resulting crystals under a microscope. He observed that positive stimuli, such as kind words or classical music, resulted in beautiful, well-formed crystals. In contrast, negative stimuli, such as harsh words or heavy metal music, resulted in disordered and malformed crystals.
Impact of Words and Intentions:
One of Emoto's most famous experiments involved labeling bottles of water with different words or phrases, such as "love" or "hate." The water exposed to positive words formed aesthetically pleasing crystals, while water exposed to negative words formed irregular, unattractive crystals. This led to the conclusion that words and intentions have a tangible impact on water.
Healing Properties of Water:
Emoto suggested that since our bodies are composed of a significant amount of water, positive thoughts, words, and emotions could contribute to physical and emotional healing. He found that by promoting positive energy and intentions, we could improve our overall health and well-being.
Pretty incredible if you ask me, which is why THIS simple secret is truly magickal.
For the past 4 months I’ve been diligently about drinking warm water with lemon before I have my morning hot chocolate or chai tea.
But I don’t just stop there!
Grab a notecard and write an affirmation, a positive note or intention, or place classical music in the morning “to charge” your water by setting your tea cup on top of the notecard. Just by drinking this “infused” water, you invoke the outcome.
I like to do this first thing in the morning. It really makes for a productive and good day. Plus, there are so many health benefits.
Drinking hot water with lemon on an empty stomach first thing in the morning is a popular health practice for GOOD reason, that offers several potential benefits:
Hydration: Starting the day with a glass of water helps to rehydrate the body after hours of sleep, which is crucial for overall health and bodily functions.
Digestion: Lemon water can stimulate the production of digestive juices, enhancing the digestive process and helping to relieve symptoms of indigestion, such as bloating and heartburn.
Detoxification: The warm water helps to flush out toxins, while lemon has diuretic properties that can aid in detoxifying the body by promoting urine production and cleansing the urinary tract.
Vitamin C Boost: Lemons are rich in vitamin C, an essential nutrient that supports the immune system, skin health, and overall vitality.
Alkalizing Effect: Although lemons are acidic, they have an alkalizing effect on the body once metabolized. This can help to balance pH levels, reducing acidity and creating a more alkaline environment in the body.
Skin Health: The vitamin C and antioxidants in lemons can contribute to clearer, healthier skin by combating free radical damage and promoting collagen production.
Weight Management: Lemon water can increase metabolism and help control appetite, potentially aiding in weight management when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise.
Fresh Breath: Lemons have antibacterial properties that can help freshen breath and kill bacteria in the mouth.
Boosts Energy and Mood: The combination of water and lemon can provide a natural energy boost, and the scent of lemon has mood-enhancing properties that can help reduce stress and improve overall mood.
To maximize these benefits, I use fresh lemons rather than bottled lemon juice, and to drink the lemon water warm, not boiling hot, to avoid damaging the beneficial enzymes and vitamins.
In closing…
Gemini season inspires us to use our imagination, get creative, and return to basics to keep our mind balanced and out of overwhelm. Gemini season is overwhelming to begin with!
There is no magick pill for healing — no matter what anyone says (this includes holistic practitioners). The key is to KNOW THYSELF and make small tweaks along your healing journey to keep it interesting and produce better results. Sometimes those results are just to use what you already have in your “medicine cabinet” and get back to the basics.
There is truly no better way to feel better, look better, and take your life to the next level than to tune into WHO YOU ARE. There is no one quite like you and your healing journey should reflect that uniqueness.
It is my hope that these simple tricks will inspire you to get to know yourself more deeply and enjoy the process of going within and being your “own healer”.
If you’d like to learn more process of helping yourself (and others) become a Self Healer, I encourage you to discover your Alchemical Constitution. With this knowledge, you can make better decisions about which products are truly right for you: what exercise routines best match your psychology, what foods best nourish your body, and what sacred practices will satisfy your soul…
