March 2024 Year in Review, Part 3 ✨ The receipt

March 2024 Year in Review, Part 3 ✨

The receipts don’t lie (see slides).

As I lay low, doing internal work, working a whole lot (3 jobs), resting, using rituals, and completing my tantra homework, I was offered an opportunity to be an actress in a movie!

Ironically, a few days before this opportunity, I got a fortune cookie that said, “You could prosper in the field of entertainment!” I kept it next to my bed, wondering what it could mean and how it would happen. I didn’t realize how fast it would come!

My dear friend Rachel thought of me and connected me to her friend Kevin. I auditioned and got the job! I was OVERJOYED AND EXCITED for this opportunity! It felt unbelievable!

Things really manifest behind the scenes. I didn’t have to seek outside of myself. From within, so without. It’s funny to say this because, for me, I was conditioned to prove myself worthy, try hard, accomplish this and that, but I didn’t see results in a way that always felt fulfilling or exciting.

With grace, some things really can flow. You just have to be yourself and be open. The hustle culture never fashionably fit me, and that’s okay. This led me to slow down, grieve most of 2024 and process the unhealthy conditioning that was not mine to carry anymore, and take it easy. Most definitely counting my blessings.

March 2024 Part 2: Fashion meets ritual. I made attempts to not spend much money on clothes, and reused a lot of my clothes. This black dress and coat have been my top go-tos and wear it weekly 🤣😇😆.

Finding rituals that calm me has been fashion as well as the beach and candle work . These Fire and Water elemental practices are also part of my Tantra school healing practices.

Another healing practice has been reading more about decolonizing therapy. It’s not an easy book to read, but so necessary as a therapist to be held accountable and to process the emotions that come up with how therapy is done. On one end it’s helpful, on the other end I find some of it restrictive. I never was one to be put in a box. I can recall a professor getting upset for doing drama therapy techniques and not using “evidenced based practices.” I can say so much about this, but that would take more than a post.

Overall, it’s nice to reflect back and realize how in sync my inner healing journey has been with the use of “unconventional” healing methods. I even got a fortune cookie that led to a manifestation. March 2024 Part 3 will explain.

March 2024, Part 1: MY BIRTHDAY MONTH!
I decided to keep it chill this year, feeling an intuitive pull to focus on self-love and self-care for my birthday instead of planning a big celebration. But my amazing friends (and my brother!) weren’t having it—they treated me to dinner, and my job even surprised me with the cutest cupcakes. I also received the most heartfelt birthday messages, overflowing with love and depth.

For my self-care, I treated myself to a massage and facial, picked up flowers and macarons, and took them to the beach for a peaceful day. 🏖️ I spent extra time meditating and diving deeper into my tantra homework. By this point, I felt so in love with nature and my solo spiritual practice that it’s become a second home for me.

The universe felt aligned too—I started noticing signs, like stumbling across a “YES” sign right after pulling an Oracle card that said “Yes to opening.” It made me feel so connected to the flow of life.

To top it off, I attended my friend’s Mystic Monday event (@therenegaderitualist) where she made the most delicious lavender cocktail 🍸😍

Year in Review continues: February 2024. I got a fashionable taste of some nightlife, lots of solo dates going to Barnes and noble, self love rituals and tantra homework, nostalgic moment with a video game street encounter, hairapy, more nature, and seeing a progression in art therapy with a client who draws the same animal over and over again (100s of times btw), and a visit to the Queen Mary to see a storytelling show called The Haunted Tavern with @pole.raven and @therenegaderitualist

Welcome to my Year in Review! 🎉 A celebration of the moments that shaped my journey this year—shared on my own timeline.

January 2024 was a month of celebrating into the New Year with friends, creativity, seeing Beyonce at AMC, finishing treatment, skating, bath rituals, ring wearing from @foresttjewelry, spiritual rituals, connecting with nature, immersing in art exhibits, and reflecting deeply on the colonization of mental illness (check the last slide for a real Thorazine as from the late 1900s).

You might’ve expected all fun, games, and fashion… but remember, this Piscean is also a deep thinker.

All this to say: Embrace every part of who you are-your gifts, quirks, talents, and truths. No single IG page could ever capture the full spectrum of you.

Day 7: 💃🏾 Movement and Tantra for Self-Disco

Day 7: 💃🏾 Movement and Tantra for Self-Discovery and Healing

Movement and tantra are powerful tools for self-discovery and healing. Through mindful movement, you can reconnect with your body, release tension, and express emotions that words cannot capture. Tantra, with its rich traditions and practices, helps you tap into your sensuality and inner power, fostering a deep connection with yourself and your partner.

Whether it’s through simple movement, shadow dancing, yoga, or tantric rituals, these practices allow you to explore your body’s potential and embrace your true self. They’re not just exercises; they’re pathways to greater self-awareness and empowerment.

This post reveals my embodiment practices. I use this and lip-syncing to express my emotions over the years. (Slide through videos). Within the last year studying Tantra, I’ve discovered how people use this practice for healing and release. I even find joy in improvising while out shopping with friends (view the furry boots video-sadly I had to take down the sound).

Thank you for staying tuned for a little over a week to hear some of my insights and client observations on how expressive arts like fashion, improv theatre, and tantra can bring pleasure, power, and healing into your life. These practices are designed to elevate your well-being, foster self-love, and enhance your romantic relationships by romanticizing your own life.

I hope this post is a reminder for you to re-commit to yourself. If you don’t know where to start, DM me. If you’ve already started some things but want to learn how this can shift your body, DM me. If this inspired you to keep doing what you’re doing, share your skillset below to help others.

Day 6: Improv as a Lifeline- Bringing Joy and Conn

Day 6: Improv as a Lifeline- Bringing Joy and Connection During Isolation

During the 2020 pandemic, with in-person interactions limited, I discovered the joy of improvisational theatre through online workshops led by Aretha Sills. Improv became my lifeline for pleasure, fun, and connection during isolation.

Improv isn’t just for live performances; it can be a daily tool for stress relief and creativity. You don’t need to be with others to enjoy its benefits. Here’s how you can incorporate improv into your routine:

1. Solo Gibberish Game: Speak in gibberish for a few minutes each day to release tension and spark creativity.
2. Space Walk Exercise: Imagine walking through various environments, adjusting your movements and reactions to stay grounded and present. Maybe bring in an object for fun. Play with the object.
3. Spontaneous Play: Embrace playful, creative moments in your daily life to foster joy and reduce stress.

Are you willing to try these pleasure practices to empower your life?

Day 5: Healing Trauma through Fashion 👠👢👡

Day 5: Healing Trauma through Fashion 👠👢👡👗👘👖🧥

Fashion can be a powerful medium for healing, especially when intertwined with the art of exposure narrative therapy. Here’s a story of transformation and reclaiming power:

A client of mine once brought an outfit she had worn during an event that ended traumatically. We began by laying the outfit on the ground, giving it a character, a name, a story. She followed her instincts, improvising the character’s personality and voice. At first, she told her story in the third person, creating a safe distance to explore her emotions. Gradually, she shifted, embracing her own voice, and told her story in the first person, reclaiming her narrative and her power.

She came to many realizations when it came to yearning, safety, and healthy intimacy. Through her pain, she discovered a path to pleasure and healing. When the session ended, she chose to rip and throw away the outfit, symbolizing her release from the trauma. Yet, she kept one piece—a token of her strength and resilience. This act was more than symbolic; it was a profound integration of her past, no longer defined by it but strengthened by it.

Today, she thrives in a loving relationship and bravely moved out of state to be with her partner. This story shows that healing and reclaiming your sexual power can lead to the love and life you deeply desire.

Day 4: Power and Pleasure through Tantra 🕉️📿

Tantra is a profound practice that connects you deeply with your sensuality and inner power. I’m studying a lineage-based Tibetan Tantra. They use the Five Elements (Fire, Earth, Space, Air, and Water) as healing practices:

1. Fire: Burns off attachments, brings forth magnetism and bliss, and has a magnetizing quality.
2. Earth: Brings enrichment, the wisdom of equality, and an enriching quality.
3. Space: Offers openness, is the antidote to separation and ignorance, and brings a pacifying quality.
4. Air: Clears out jealousy, brings all-accomplishing wisdom, provides enjoyment, and has a creation quality.
5. Water: Washes away anger, grants mirror-like wisdom, and it brings a destruction quality so you see the clarity.

Tantra means weaving light and sound with form. The form is your body. The meditations, mantras and sensual movements activate your form and springs forth pleasure, ease, and grace.

Tantra is more than just physical intimacy. It is also very spiritual.

Have you heard about Tantra in this way before?

Day 3: 🎊Unleashing Your Authentic Self through

Day 3: 🎊Unleashing Your Authentic Self through Improv🎭

Improvisational theatre isn’t just for actors on stage—it’s a powerful tool for pleasure and empowerment for all. By engaging in improv, you explore different facets of your personality, embrace spontaneity, and discover new aspects of your inner self without judgment.

Here’s a story from a Drama Therapy group I held in a forensic and mental health hospital. Participants, including older adults with CPTSD, PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, Dementia, and other health issues, were playing “Hat Chat.” They grabbed a hat, created a character, and were interviewed as if on an Oprah show. One participant sadly shared, “I never had a job!” This revelation sparked unexpected care. Other participants, who typically argued with this individual, collaborated to create a job for them. They asked what they always wanted to do and created a scene to improvise. The group was delighted to help, demonstrating how improv unlocks compassion and creativity. It was beautiful to see inclusivity and acceptance.

Improv teaches you to trust yourself, be present, and connect deeply with others. It’s about saying “yes” to the unexpected and finding joy in the unknown. This practice can break down barriers, reduce anxiety, and boost self-confidence.

🪬The Mysterious Power of Fashion👠 One day,

🪬The Mysterious Power of Fashion👠

One day, I showed up to work in a bright red wig. I was feeling a type of way I couldn’t explain. The reactions were priceless: everyone loved the look, but one coworker was avoidant. At that moment, it clicked—I was mad at this coworker, and he knew we had unfinished business. That day was oddly satisfying for me because no one knew the mystery behind my hairstyle choice. Something inside of me (call it intuition or spirit) awakened and led me to say something through my hair. I giggle at the thought: A channeled message by hair!? Who would’ve thought!?

Fashion isn’t just about trends; it’s a way to express your inner self. Your outfit can reflect your personality and mood, but it can also hold mystery—what you wear on the outside doesn’t always reveal what’s happening inside. This mystery is part of the art of seduction, creating allure and intrigue.

When you choose your outfits with intention, you’re not just dressing up—you’re making a statement. Each piece reflects a part of your inner world, a secret message only you fully understand. This power of choice allows you to control how you present yourself and how you’re perceived.

As I share about the power of fashion today, I offer a playful practice for you:

1. Wear something this week that is the opposite of your mood. Observe how your garment affects your mood and confidence. See how others respond as you go about your day. Ask a close friend what they think about your outfit, but don’t reveal your real mood. It’s nice to keep some things a mystery. 😉

Fashion is about celebrating your unique self. Embrace the mystery and power of your choices.

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s journey into improvisational theatre!

🗝️Unlocking Pleasure and Power through the Ex

🗝️Unlocking Pleasure and Power through the Expressive Arts🎭

Welcome to a 7-day journey of deeper self-love and transformation! Over the next week, I’ll share how expressive arts like fashion, improv theatre, and tantra can bring you pleasure, power, and healing. Prepare to gain a fresh outlook on holistic practices that can elevate your well-being and enrich your most important relationships.

To get started, let’s recognize the breadth of the expressive arts: painting, musical instruments, acting, dance, photography, singing, writing, poetry, sculpture, film, digital art, collage, pottery, crafts, calligraphy, mime, and so much more. The common thread among all these forms is this:

Your own body is the instrument.

You are the embodied artist.

Engaging in these artistic practices is not just an activity; it’s a way to channel your emotions, thoughts, and energies through your body. This physical expression can release stress, connect you with your inner self, and transform your emotional state.

Expressive arts allow you to embody your feelings and experiences, turning abstract emotions into tangible expressions. Whether you’re painting a canvas, performing a monologue, or moving to music, you use your body to communicate and release what’s inside you. This process is incredibly healing, helping you understand and process your emotions in a safe and creative way.

As Viola Spolin, the pioneer of improvisational theatre, wisely said, “We learn through experience and experiencing, and no one teaches anyone anything.”

Spolin’s insight reveals that embodied arts teach you through direct experience, fostering deep personal growth and understanding. This brings us to an important question for you:

What is your favorite form of expressive art, and how does it make you feel?

Feel free to share below, and stay tuned for more stories and insights on the expressive arts.
