Hi from Hollywood

It's been a really long time since I've blogged. So why now? Major life changes. I am opting out of the traditional workforce to stay at home with my 3 young kids. I want to share our shenanigans with friends and family in order to stay connected. Also, I've learned that every experience, good and bad, is just that -- an experience -- which means staying chill and positive rather than losing my shit. This blog will serve as a gentle reminder to stay calm and upbeat in the face of any challenge. That said, I'm a mom to three young kids (3 year old twins and a 9 month old), so I will be keeping it real (this blog may get colorful).

Love and light!!

Sending Reiki to Future Event: Birth of My Son

Last night I used the distance symbol to send Reiki to the birth of my son.  I suspect he's coming very soon.  My body is just changing -- I'm not longer backed up, feel queasy, headaches, crampiness, etc.  Who knew it would feel this good to feel kinda ill.  I suppose it's because I don't really feel sick, I feel as if my body is gearing up to push my baby out.  JOY!!!

I was very tired during the Reiki/meditation session and would phase in and out.  I felt like I was drifting out of worlds.  It was pretty trippy.  It almost felt as if I was floating from the present to the future.  I'm very much looking forward to birthing my son and feeling the Reiki that I'm sending.  I wonder if it'll feel like a burst of energy?

Hospital bag all packed:

• Makeup
• Hair straightener
• Cell phone charger
• Leggings, cute top, socks
• Outfit for baby

I'm a light packer.  Gotta remember to bring my laptop (I don't have spotify on my cell).  Plus, the hospital is just a few miles away (it's awesome living in a city).  

Prepping before baby's arrival:

• My push present will arrive today (new purse!)
• Cleaning lady will arrive soon to do deep cleaning
• Scheduled massage for Saturday
• Plan to dance under the moon on Saturday nigh (full moon and a SUPER MOON)
• Yoga for the rest of the week
• Delicious food events planned with friends this week
• Pedicure done!
• Trying to schedule a haircut
• And yeah -- carseat already installed, baby clothes washed, etc.

Ready for Reiki II certification

I almost sent my Reiki teacher a message today to meet for tea, but then hesitated.  I want to send energy to my future.  I have a clear goal.  I'm going to send energy to my son's birth.  My gut is saying that he will arrive soon, very soon.  I can hardly wait for meditation and reiki tonight.

I feel so peaceful.  I'm more mindful and connected.  I feel confident over my decisions.  I feel more connected to my children and husband.  In sum, I feel empowered.  This rocks.

Day 29 & 30: L&D of my twins

I have pictures that clearly show the fear in my face prior to pushing out my girls.  I didn't have any confidence that my body could vaginally deliver two babies.  I was consumed with worry and anxiety.  I'm just not in that head space anymore.  I feel confident and joyful to labor and deliver my son.  Pumped would be an accurate statement.

I wasn't surprised that my past self didn't need much Reiki.  I've done the work already -- meditation, talking to my baby, sound bath at the Integratron, Reiki circles, etc.  It makes sense that previous-me was in a good place, because I am currently in an amazing place.

YAY!!!  Done with my 30 days, but maybe I'll do a few more for good measure;)
