How to Decode Your Partner’s Love Language and Boost Self-Love
Picture this: I come downstairs, and PJ’s got a steaming cup of coffee waiting for me. It’s like a warm hug in a mug. But if I come down and see he’s made just one for himself, I might go a bit quiet. It’s not about the coffee, really—it’s about feeling seen and valued. So today, I’m going to dive into how coffee (and other things) is at the heart of nurturing our relationships.
You might have heard of “love languages,” and I’m excited to unpack it with you. This idea comes from the fabulous book The Five Love Languages by Dr. Gary Chapman. If you haven’t yet, grab a copy—it's a gem. The core idea is simple: understanding how we and our loved ones give and receive love. It’s all about removing the guesswork and making our needs clear.
Dr. Chapman identifies five key ways we express love: words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. Let’s break them down together.
If you or your partner thrive on hearing “I love you,” then shout it from the rooftops! Compliment, praise, and share what you adore about them. Slip a sweet note into their lunch or just tell them directly. If these words matter to you, let them know. Clear, honest communication is crucial.
If your love language is quality time, then you’re all about undivided attention. It’s not about constant verbal affirmations; it’s about being fully present. Put away the phones, don’t cancel plans, and make time for each other without distractions. Your presence is the best gift.
When receiving gifts is your thing, it’s not about the cost but the thought behind it. It could be a simple flower from your garden or a little something that shows you were thinking of them. Gifts are a way to express care and appreciation, so don’t hold back if this resonates with you.
If acts of service speak to you, actions are your love language. Doing chores, helping out, or keeping promises shows that you’re valued and supported. It’s all about taking initiative and showing you care through your actions, not just your words.
Physical touch is about more than just intimacy. If this is your partner’s love language, they crave physical closeness—holding hands, a kiss on the forehead, or cuddling on the couch. It’s these small touches that make them feel connected and loved.
Here’s the golden nugget: as much as it’s important to understand each other’s love language, your happiness and self-worth come from within. While love languages can enhance our relationships, they should never be the sole source of our self-esteem.
True self-love means valuing yourself regardless of external factors. It’s about knowing that your worth is not dependent on others’ actions or validations. When you embrace unconditional self-love, you set a healthy standard for how others should treat you, making your connections even more fulfilling.
Engaging in love languages is a fun way to keep the love flowing, but your inner happiness starts with you. Cultivate a deep sense of self-love, and you’ll find that your relationships will thrive in richer, more meaningful ways.
Even if you or your partner have a primary love language, don’t neglect the others. Different moments might call for different expressions of love. For instance, if you’re feeling vulnerable, a simple hand-holding gesture in public can be incredibly reassuring.
Don’t leave your partner guessing about what makes you feel loved. Have those conversations—over a cozy cup of coffee, perhaps—and explore each other’s love languages. It’s through understanding and communication that we build the strongest, most loving connections.
And remember, while learning each other’s love languages is essential, your self-worth and happiness come from within. Nurture your own self-love, and watch how your relationships blossom even more beautifully.

Empathy is the key to truly understanding another person’s perspective—to see the world through their eyes, rather than through our own. In its simplest form, empathy is the ability to relate to another person’s feelings without judgment, advice, or attempts to fix their problems. It’s about suspending your own beliefs and judgments and genuinely connecting with someone else’s experience.
If this sounds challenging, you’re not alone. It can feel nearly impossible at times, especially when emotions run high. But that's why I'm here—to provide you with some practical tips to become more empathetic toward others. Let’s dive into how you can start fostering these deeper connections today.
As a mom, I get daily opportunities to practice my empathy skills, especially during those intense moments when my kids have had a tough day. Picture this: One minute, my daughters are calmly telling me about their day, and the next, it's as if I’m sitting next to a mini tornado of emotions. They go from zero to a hundred in a matter of seconds, and it can be overwhelming.
In these moments, even when my initial reaction might be to throw my hands up or let out a few choice words, I remind myself that these are perfect opportunities to practice empathy. Instead of reacting, I pause, breathe, and engage with their feelings. It’s not about fixing their problems but about connecting with them on a deeper level.
One of the toughest parts of being empathetic is learning to listen without letting our preconceived notions or beliefs interfere. It’s crucial to let go of any judgments and simply be present with the other person.
Imagine you’re wearing rose-colored glasses, and the person you’re speaking with is wearing yellow ones. They’re describing their experience as yellow, but your instinct is to argue that it’s pink. True empathy means setting aside your “glasses” and allowing them to share their yellow world without interference.
Here’s a pro tip: Try mirroring the other person’s body language subtly. If they cross their arms, you can do the same. This small, unconscious mimicry can create a sense of connection and make the other person feel more understood.
In today’s world, it’s easy to get distracted by our phones, notifications, and other interruptions. However, to truly connect with someone, it’s essential to be fully present. Put away the distractions and focus on the person in front of you. Engage with their words, tone, and body language.
This presence is where all the exercises and meditations we practice come into play. By becoming aware of your own emotions and energy, you can better understand others. The more you practice kindness and empathy towards yourself, the easier it will be to extend that empathy to others.
It’s natural to want to jump in and solve someone’s problems, especially when it’s someone you care about. However, empathy often requires something different. Sometimes, people don’t need solutions; they need someone to listen. They need space to express themselves without being judged or told what to do.
Instead of immediately offering advice, consider asking them if they want your input. Sometimes, just being there to listen is the most supportive thing you can do.
It’s important to remember that empathy is not the same as sympathy. Sympathy often involves feeling sorry for someone, which can unintentionally put distance between you and them. Empathy, on the other hand, is about being there with them, sharing the emotional space, and understanding their experience from their point of view.
While empathy is about connecting deeply with another person’s experience, it’s equally important to stay grounded in your own energy. As you open yourself up to someone else’s emotions, there’s a risk of being overtaken by their energy, which can leave you feeling drained or unsettled. That’s why it’s crucial to maintain your center and reset your frequency back to your own vibration after the conversation ends.
Now, I know it can be tough. You’re there, fully engaged, feeling all the feels, and before you know it, you’re carrying their emotional baggage right along with yours. But here’s the thing: empathy doesn’t mean losing yourself in someone else’s story. It’s about being present with them while staying firmly rooted in your own energy.
Think of it like this—you’ve got to keep your own vibe high. After an empathetic exchange, take a moment to breathe, ground yourself, and shake off any emotions that aren’t yours. Seriously, just let it go. This way, you’re not walking around all day with someone else’s vibration hanging on you like a heavy coat.
Remember, you can be there for others and still take care of yourself. It’s not selfish; it’s smart. The more you practice this, the better you’ll be at offering genuine support without getting emotionally drained.
So, next time you’re in the thick of it—whether it’s your kids, a friend, or a colleague—remember these empathy tips. Be present, be kind, be objective, and supportive, but most importantly, stay true to yourself. The more you keep your own energy in check, the more meaningful and balanced your connections will be.
Until next time, keep your vibe high, and remember, you’ve got this. I’m Marisa Grieco, Your Mystical Guide.
How to Get Out of a Cranky Mood
Lately, it feels like I've been stuck in a cranky mood. Maybe it's the looming holiday season triggering some old patterns, or perhaps it's the overwhelming to-do list that seems to keep growing—especially with the launch of my new membership site. If you’ve been feeling down or stuck in a funk, let’s work through this together.
You might be wondering, "Why aren’t you taking your own advice, Marisa?" Well, to be honest, sometimes I don’t want to. I find myself riding that wave of self-pity, heading straight into the depths of what I call "Cape Depression." But here’s the thing—I’m not going to let myself stay there. I’ve decided to take my own advice, and I’m here to share with you exactly how I plan to shake off this storm.
Lately, it’s felt like my old emotions and past programs are resurfacing with a vengeance. My body seems to be searching for any excuse to reinforce these negative feelings, and it only takes one thought to spiral downward. But I know this is just a chemical process my body is triggering—and I have the power to change it. I just have to make the decision to do so.
One of the first things I’m going to do is get up and move. I know it’s tough, especially when you’re comfortable on the couch with a plate of pasta and a new season of Criminal Minds queued up. But instead, I’m turning on my favorite song and dancing it out. Moving your body helps to produce serotonin, a neurotransmitter that can help lift your mood and keep those depressing thoughts at bay.
If dancing isn’t your thing, try going for a walk with intention. Just getting the energy flowing can make a world of difference.
After moving, I like to reinforce my mood boost with a mantra. I repeat to myself, "I am light. I am love. I am whole." I keep saying it until it sinks in. This practice helps keep me present, pulling me out of the trance that makes me believe I am my body, my emotions, or my past. These are just old programs from the third dimension, and I’m not going to let them control me.
If all else fails, I find that sitting by a window or getting outside for some sunshine can do wonders. If you’re in a place where sunshine is scarce, sitting by a bright light and imagining yourself on a beach can be just as effective. Remember, sometimes you have to fake it till you make it.
While I don’t usually reach for supplements, I’ve heard that 5-HTP or St. John’s Wort can be helpful for mood improvement. However, it’s important to consult with your healthcare provider first, as these can affect everyone differently.
Another fantastic mood booster is getting a massage. It’s been shown to increase serotonin and dopamine—those feel-good chemicals—and reduce cortisol, the stress hormone. Plus, who really needs an excuse to get a massage?
If you’ve been feeling down, know that you’re not alone. We all have days (or weeks) where we feel like a bag of turds. The key is finding ways to lift yourself up and get moving again. I believe in you, and I know you can do it.
If you need some extra support or just want to share your journey, come join my Mystical Circle. I’ll be reporting my results there, and I’d love to hear about your experiences too.
Remember, you are not your body, your thoughts, or your emotions—you are light. So get out there and shine!
Have you ever had a moment where you realized you’ve been living life on autopilot, never questioning your beliefs or the programs running your decisions? That’s exactly where I found myself before I began my consciousness journey. Once I started to awaken, it felt like someone had turned on the lights in my head, and everything around me changed. If you’re experiencing something similar, I want you to know it’s a fantastic phase to go through, and you’re not alone.
In this post, I’ll guide you on how to use your dream state to uncover old programs that might be keeping you trapped. Let’s dive in
One night, after a wild party in Los Angeles, I was driving home when something clicked. I noticed the people walking down the streets, heads down, no smiles, no eye contact—just a sea of disconnected souls. It was as if everyone had forgotten who they were and why they were here. The sight made me want to shout, “Wake up! You’re so much more than you think!”
This was a pivotal moment for me, one that made me realize I needed to start doing my inner work and detoxing the old programs that were running my life. As my awareness expanded, I began to see patterns not just in my waking life but also in my dreams.
When I dreamt, I used to believe everything that happened was real. I didn’t question it; I accepted it as my reality. Even when things didn’t seem quite right—like seeing a distorted reflection in a mirror or awkwardly flying through the air—I never thought I had the power to change anything.
Upon waking, I’d often wonder why I hadn’t taken control in my dreams. Why didn’t I stick up for myself or seize opportunities? The biggest question was, why didn’t I become lucid?
Lucid dreaming is when you become aware that you’re dreaming and you can control everything within that dream. It’s like having the ultimate power without any consequences—a tempting concept, right?
As I reflected on my dreams, I realized the same thing was happening in my waking life. I’d get a glimpse of who I truly was, but then the demands of daily life would pull me back into old patterns, leaving me feeling powerless. I decided it was time to try something new to break this cycle.
Each night before bed, I began to ask the universe to show me any subconscious programs that were running my life. When I woke up, I’d do a quick scan of my body and thoughts, holding onto the feelings and experiences from my dreams.
I’d ask myself:
This introspection revealed how much time and energy I’d wasted obsessing over things that ultimately didn’t matter. I couldn’t take anything from my dreams back to reality except for the memories and the lessons learned.
By identifying these old programs of attachment, I realized I could consciously update them.
As I continued this practice, I began asking more questions about my dreams:
If the answers to these questions were negative, I’d dig deeper. What took me over in the dream? Was I fighting, yelling, or feeling fearful? This line of questioning helped me uncover automatic programs running my subconscious, giving me the opportunity to shift my perspective and realign my life.
The more I practiced this introspection, the easier it became to stay lucid in my dreams. I noticed that whenever I came from a place of love and openness, everything around me started to shift. In dreams, what you think of, you create instantly. In waking life, it just takes a little longer.
This realization empowered me to make changes in my daily life, too. For instance, if I was unappreciative in my dreams, I’d make an effort to be grateful during the day. I didn’t analyze it for hours—I simply made a conscious choice to shift my mindset.
Once you start practicing this technique, you might notice your dreams begin to change. You may even find yourself becoming lucid, where you can explore new worlds and be whoever you want to be. It’s like Bill Murray in “Groundhog Day,” realizing that the consequences we fear often don’t mean much, and slowly changing life for the better.
I hope this post encourages you to start living the life you dream of. Tap into your full potential and embrace the present moment. Remember, you are not your body, your thoughts, or your emotions—you are light, so be bright.

Hey guys! So, a lot of you have been asking for a video about chakras, and I've got a fun little exercise to share with you. But first, let's talk about Care Bears. Yes, you heard me right—Care Bears. Stay with me here, because this is going to help you light up your consciousness and awareness in these quantum doorways. And who doesn't want to live from a place of love and happiness, right?
So, let’s not waste any more time—Care Bears, prepare to stare!
Do you ever notice that as soon as you start your spiritual journey, you can find meaning and messages everywhere and in everything? I’ve got a paper trail to prove it, and I bet you do too! When I first got familiar with the chakra system, I thought, "Holy crap, it's been in front of me the whole time—it's the Care Bears!" Think about it: they’re basically chakras waiting to be activated while running around the Kingdom of Care.
Sure, their colors and symbols might be a bit off, but you get the idea. And here’s the cool part: when they’re connected to that high frequency, they shoot light out of their bellies—Care Bears Stare! Get it?
For me, when my chakras are all running smoothly and shooting light, that’s when I feel loved and truly connected to the universe. And have you ever noticed that if all the Care Bears stood on each other’s shoulders, you’d have the whole chakra system right there? It’s all about aligning and shining, just like those little bears.
Our goal today is to shine like a Care Bear, but we’re going to use our chakras instead. If you’ve been feeling a bit funky or less energetic, this exercise will help you get that energy flowing and might even help you clear out some old blocks.
So, let’s dive in.
Start by finding a place where you can sit comfortably with your feet planted on the ground. Visualize the bottoms of your feet opening up and plugging into the earth. Good. Next, imagine your head opening up like a dome, and start pulling down that high frequency from the cosmos into your body. Let it flow from the top of your head, down your neck, and along your spine, filling up your entire body with this incredible energy all the way down to your feet.
Now, just for fun, allow this energy to travel out the base of your spine and into the earth’s core, anchoring this column of light into the earth. With your next breath, draw up earth energy mixed with that high frequency—this will help your body absorb this light more easily.
Now, connect and anchor this frequency into your root chakra. Just like a Care Bear shines a bright light out of their center, I want you to do the same. Relax, open up those circuits, and let that light shine through. You might even start to feel like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, guiding Santa’s sleigh during a winter storm—full power!
But don’t worry, this is actually a good thing. We want to get that energy moving and light up these centers. Once you feel the energy flowing smoothly in your root chakra, move up to your sacral chakra. Allow the light to fill this area, checking in and blessing this center until you feel a sense of bliss.
Next, guide the light up into your solar plexus chakra. Let the warmth and brightness fill you with confidence and power. Stay here, blessing this chakra, until you feel that blissful energy.
Now, move the light into your heart chakra. Feel it expand with love and compassion, radiating outwards. Bless this center and wait for that sense of deep connection and joy to fill your heart.
Continue to guide the light up into your throat chakra. Allow your communication center to open up, blessing this chakra until you feel the clarity and truth resonating within you.
Then, bring the light up to your third eye chakra. As the light fills this center, bless it and tune into your intuition and inner wisdom. Stay here until you feel that profound sense of knowing.
Finally, move the light up to your crown chakra. Let the light flow through this center, connecting you to the higher consciousness. Bless this chakra until you feel the bliss of being in tune with the universe.
Now that you’ve got the Care Bear stare down, let’s take it one step further. Go 16 inches above your head and connect to the Soul Star Chakra. As you connect to this center, really let your light shine through with all the love inside you, because now you’re becoming less matter and more light. You’re activating those circuits and reconnecting to the quantum field.
It’s that simple, right? So whenever I’m feeling down and want to reconnect to that bigger part of myself, this little exercise always works. It reminds me that I am so much more than just my body, my thoughts, or my emotions. Just like a Care Bear, we are the light.
So, be bright, do your Care Bear stare, and shine like a rainbow!

Our relationship with money is a heavy topic, stirring up a variety of feelings within us. We desire it, yet feel unworthy or selfish for wanting it. These conflicting emotions often stem from deep-seated beliefs passed down through our families, shaping how we perceive wealth. But what if we could change this narrative? What if we could shift our mindset to embrace abundance with confidence and joy?
Our beliefs are the foundation of our relationship with money. From childhood, we've absorbed messages about wealth—some empowering, others limiting. These beliefs can manifest as feelings of discomfort, guilt, or even a sense of unworthiness when it comes to financial success.
To transform our financial reality, we must first address these beliefs. Begin by affirming, "Money comes to me easily." This simple statement can initiate a powerful shift in your consciousness, helping to dissolve doubts and embrace abundance. Repeating this affirmation regularly can reinforce a mindset where wealth flows effortlessly into your life.
The concept of a wealth mindset is about more than just thinking positively—it's about reprogramming our brains. We've been conditioned to view money from a place of lack or fear, which is often felt in our gut, specifically in the solar plexus chakra, the center of personal power. To change this, we must engage in practices that align our thoughts with abundance.
Try this: Close your eyes and repeat the mantra, "Money comes to me easily." Notice how it feels in your body. You might feel resistance at first, but keep at it. Visualize the energy moving from your gut up to your heart, where the transformation takes place. Over time, this practice can help shift your mindset from scarcity to abundance.
Changing your relationship with money involves rewriting the story you've been telling yourself. It's not just about making money; it's about making money doing what you love. This shift is crucial because it aligns your financial goals with your passions, creating a more fulfilling and sustainable path to wealth.
Practice saying, "I make money doing what I love." At first, it may feel awkward or even untrue, but with repetition, it becomes a new belief. The key is to keep reinforcing this message until it becomes your reality.
If you're ready to change your money mindset, start with this simple exercise. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and think about the word "money." What emotions or thoughts come up? Do you feel open to receiving, or do you feel blocked?
Whatever story you tell yourself today can be rewritten tomorrow. It's all about breaking free from limiting beliefs and stepping into a space of possibility. I like to call this the "millionaire brain"—the part of your mind that is open, expansive, and ready to create abundance.
Your relationship with money doesn't have to be one of struggle or fear. By shifting your mindset and embracing new beliefs, you can create a financial reality that aligns with your true desires. Start today by affirming that money comes to you easily, and open yourself up to the flow of abundance. Remember, it's not just about having money; it's about thriving in every aspect of your life.
Are you ready to change your relationship with money? The journey begins with a single thought, a single affirmation. Let's start today.
Do you ever find yourself wide awake at 3:00 AM, with your mind racing, replaying everything you could have said or done differently? That nagging voice, full of criticisms and reminders of what needs to be accomplished, can leave you feeling trapped in a cycle of stress and anxiety. I know this feeling all too well, but I’ve learned to turn this middle-of-the-night wake-up call into an opportunity for empowerment and connection.
In this blog post, I’ll share the techniques that have helped me transform those restless nights into moments of peace and rejuvenation. These practices not only calm the mind but also align your energy, making the most of the early morning hours when your connection to the universe is at its strongest.
Waking up in the middle of the night used to fill me with dread. But now, I approach these moments with a sense of purpose. Instead of being overwhelmed by the critical voice in my head, I see it as a chance to reconnect with a higher frequency. Did you know that meditation is 40% more effective between 1:00 AM and 4:00 AM? During this time, melatonin is active in the brain, enhancing your visions and deepening your meditative state.
So, what do I do when I find myself awake at 3:00 AM? I resist the urge to fully wake up, which could shift my brainwaves into an alert state where that critic thrives. Instead, I stay in the dreamy space of theta brainwaves, which keeps me connected to the meditative state I was just in.
When thoughts start to invade my mind, particularly those related to something or someone that's bothering me, I take a moment to locate where I feel the tension in my body. Once I identify it, I consciously relax that area and perform a simple motion, like swiping my fingers as if clearing away the negative energy. This action helps me focus on reclaiming my space and energy.
I also remind myself that only the highest frequencies belong in my energy field. As I clear away the distracting energy, I feel a sense of relief and reclaim the space within myself. This practice helps me start to feel better almost immediately.
If I’m caught in a loop of repetitive thoughts, I count backward from five to interrupt the cycle, then refocus on my breath. This simple technique helps me regain control over my thoughts and prevents them from spiraling out of control.
After clearing the negative energy, I focus on my energy centers, starting with the heart center, which I think of as a bridge where cosmic energy and earth energy meet. I let this area fill with gratitude, whether it's for something as simple as my cozy pillow or the warmth of my blanket. This feeling of gratitude helps me expand this energy center, creating a sense of fullness and connection.
Next, I move to my root chakra, located between the legs. Here, I search for any lingering negative influences, whether they’re people, beliefs, or emotions. Once I identify them, I visualize them dissipating, making room for my energy to fill the space. I continue this process through all my chakras, from the sacral to the crown, aligning and expanding my energy field.
If I’m still awake after going through my chakras, I sit up and focus on my breath, guiding it from my lower abdomen to the top of my head. This breathwork helps activate the pineal gland, the center of your mystical powers. By moving energy up and down the spine, I stimulate this powerful energy center, allowing me to access a deeper state of consciousness.
I then bring my awareness to the center of my head, imagining myself shrinking into this space. Here, I simply sense the energy around me, sometimes experiencing incredible visions of light and energy. It’s a profound feeling that leaves me rejuvenated and connected.
If you find yourself awake in the middle of the night with your inner critic running wild, I encourage you to try these practices. Be gentle with yourself, and remember that it may take a few tries to fully embrace this new approach. With patience and consistency, you’ll find that your nights become more peaceful and even magical.
So, the next time that 3:00 AM critic shows up, you’ll be ready to silence it and transform the experience into something powerful and uplifting. Sweet dreams!
Until next time, I’m Marisa Grieco, Your Mystical Guide.
Have you ever wondered about the true purpose of your soul or what lessons might be lingering from past lives? It’s not about whether you were a king, queen, or someone who scrubbed floors in a past life—what truly matters is the wisdom you can glean from those experiences. In this post, we’re going to explore the fascinating world of the Soul Star Chakra and how tuning into it can bring you closer to discovering your soul’s purpose. I’ll also share a personal story that deeply influenced my own spiritual journey.
Understanding the Soul Star Chakra
Imagine the Soul Star Chakra as your mystical gateway, positioned about six inches above your head. This powerful energy center isn’t just a point in space but a dynamic link between the divine and your personal energy system. It’s through this chakra that you can access profound insights about your past lives and the lessons they hold.
The Soul Star Chakra is intricately connected to your auric field, which impacts the flow of energy through and around your physical body. This connection goes beyond the spiritual realm; it plays a crucial role in aligning your physical self with your soul’s higher purpose. By accessing the Soul Star Chakra, you connect with your soul’s blueprint—a detailed map of your past life experiences and spiritual lessons. This energetic connection helps you address physical and emotional issues, facilitating healing and realignment with your soul’s true path.
A Strange Experience: My Journey Through Past Life Regression
My first encounter with the Soul Star Chakra was anything but ordinary. During a past life regression meditation, I found myself in a different time, transported from my living room to a simple, old cottage. To my surprise, I wasn’t just in a different place—I was in a different body. Imagine my shock when I looked down to find myself in the body of a very large, very hairy man, dressed in a rough, brown robe.
As strange as it was to find myself in this new form, what struck me even more was the overwhelming sense of disconnection and resentment I felt. I was emotionally distant, angry, and bitter. Before I could process these feelings, I suddenly found myself lying dead on the floor, possibly from a heart attack. The scene unfolded with two young girls weeping over my lifeless body, and as my energy floated away, I was engulfed by an intense feeling of love and warmth—something I had been withholding during that lifetime.
This experience was a wake-up call for me. I realized that I had been carrying over feelings of anger and disconnection, perhaps even overeating, from that past life into my current one. But I also understood that I had the power to change my energetic blueprint. We all have the choice to break free from these old, subconscious programs that no longer serve us, and the Soul Star Chakra can be the key to making that shift.

Are you tired of everyone telling you who to be, what to think, and even what to wear? If any of this resonates with you, it might be because you’re disconnected from your core star—that inner light that is the essence of your being. In this post, we'll explore what the core star is and how it connects to your entire energy-consciousness system. Plus, I’ll share some tips and rituals that helped me reconnect with this amazing light. Let’s dive in!
My journey of disconnecting from my core star started as a child. I was playing at my aunt's house, running up and down the hallways, when I tripped and hit the corner of the sink. This accident caused me to lose my hearing, though I didn't realize it at first. It wasn't until I started school that I noticed something was wrong. I couldn't hear my teacher clearly, so I tried to read her lips, often misinterpreting what she was saying. This made me feel unsafe, stupid, and disconnected from my true self.
As a result, I began to repress my emotions and build walls around my core star, trying to protect myself from the pain of feeling inadequate. The more I built these walls, the more disconnected and alone I felt. It wasn't until I started to slowly dismantle these walls that I began to feel like myself again—loving, free, expanded, and happy. And that’s what I want for you, too.
The core star is the source of your unique essence—your divine spark, your soul. It's like a snowflake; each one of us is different and magical in our own way. According to Barbara Brennan, the core star is the foundation for the structure of your human energy consciousness system.
Your consciousness system consists of four aspects: the core star, the hara dimension, your energy field (aura), and your physical body. Each one of these has its own space and dimension, and they all function differently but complement each other beautifully. It’s like a human cake with layers and flavors that blend together.
The core star is where your creative and intuitive energies originate. When this energy is flowing, you feel healthy, happy, and connected to everything and everyone. Why? Because you are light.
When your core star is glowing bright, you’ll feel comfortable in your own skin. You’ll be free to express yourself without seeking validation from others. Who cares what anyone else thinks? You’re reconnecting with your inner space, which is the center of the universe.
The beauty of the core star is that it remains untouched by negative experiences. Even if you've built walls or blocks around it, your core star is still vibrant beneath it all. However, when it’s blocked, you may feel depressed, unworthy, or uncreative. Your energy becomes sluggish, and you might start to feel physically sick because nothing’s moving—like a stagnant pond.
1. Connect with Nature
Take a walk outside, go to your backyard, or find a peaceful spot where you won’t be disturbed. Leave your electronics behind and activate all your senses—smell the flowers, feel the grass beneath your feet, taste fresh fruit, and listen to the sounds around you. Reconnecting with nature helps you bypass old programs and reconnect with the present moment, where your gifts are.
2. Play with Animals
Whether it’s your pets, a visit to a farm, or spending time at a rescue facility, connecting with animals can be a powerful way to activate your core star. Allow your feelings to flow, and you may even feel warmth in your chest as your energy field expands and your core star lights up.
3. Enjoy Music
Listen to your favorite music, dance, sing, and have fun! Music can transport you to another place and get your body moving, which is essential for getting your energy flowing again.
4. Indulge in Creativity
Take yourself on an artist's date—whether it’s writing, drawing, painting, or any other creative medium. The goal is to get out of your head and let the energy flow through you. Express your emotions through your art, even if it gets messy. The key is to keep the energy moving.
5. Be of Service
Helping others is a great way to take the spotlight off yourself and jumpstart your core star. Whether it’s calling a neighbor, volunteering, or simply being there for someone, doing something for others can bring a smile to your face and brighten your inner light.6. Release with Abandonment
Inspired by my acting coach, this exercise is for when you’re feeling trapped or overwhelmed. Find a large space where you can let loose—remove any jewelry or glasses, and if possible, do this on a carpet or blanket. Have a tantrum like a child, releasing any pent-up emotions. Scream if you need to (a pillow can help with that). You’ll feel cathartic afterward, as if you’ve broken out of prison.
Each time you expand this energy center, you’re upgrading your physical body. Allow time for your cells, nervous system, and even your DNA to adjust to this new frequency. When your core star essence is free to flow, everything around you will start to align. Your feelings will be positive, your intentions clear, and long-avoided issues will surface to be healed.
Now that you’re beginning to feel more connected to your core star, you’ll start to create the life you’ve always wanted. Instead of looking outward for answers, you’re going inward and reconnecting with your true self.
If you want to take this a step further, I’ve created a guided meditation focused on the core star, available on my website. When your core star energy is flowing, it will overflow into the hara dimension, the next level of our energy field, where our intentions reside. We’ll explore this more in an upcoming post.
Remember, you’re a bright, shining star—never forget that.
Meditation can seem like an elusive practice, especially when you're feeling overwhelmed or stuck in a negative mindset. If you've ever found it challenging to sit still and focus on your breath, you're not alone. This blog post offers a fresh perspective on how to ease into meditation and discover its profound benefits, even when it feels impossible.
When I first heard about meditation, I couldn't help but be skeptical. The idea of sitting quietly, breathing, and expecting all my wishes to come true felt unrealistic. Like many others, I struggled with the practice. My mind would race, and I quickly became uncomfortable, frustrated, and self-critical. It was like trying to hold my breath underwater—manageable for a few seconds, but then panic would set in.
I realized that I needed to approach meditation differently. Instead of viewing it as a rigid practice with high expectations, I decided to think of it as something more natural and relaxed. I needed to stop labeling it as "meditation" and drop any preconceived notions. Instead, I focused on simply relaxing—something I already knew how to do well.
I discovered that the key to making meditation approachable was to start with what I was already good at: napping. I set up a peaceful space in my home, informed my family that I was going to "meditate" (which they jokingly knew meant taking a nap), and simply allowed myself to lie down and relax. There were no expectations or pressures. I just focused on my breath and let myself drift off if that’s what happened.
At first, my thoughts would flood in like water rushing down a drain, but instead of fighting them, I observed them without judgment. Over time, I committed to this practice, doing it when I was naturally tired—first thing in the morning, during the day, and right before bed. This made the process easier, as I wasn't trying to meditate when I was wide awake and full of energy.
As I became more comfortable, I transitioned from lying down to sitting in a chair, keeping my head tilted slightly forward. I still focused on relaxing and breathing, reminding myself that I was just chilling, not trying to achieve anything profound. Surprisingly, this approach led me to experience what I call the "sweet spot"—a state of stillness where I felt tingling sensations and a sense of being plugged into something greater. This wasn’t something I had read about; it was a personal discovery that made meditation exciting and rewarding.
Now, let’s put emotions aside and take a look at the science of meditation. The primary purpose of meditation is to help us step out of survival mode—those feelings of worry, fear, anger, and distrust that keep us stuck in a state of high alert. When we're in this mode, our brains are operating in a beta frequency, where we're constantly analyzing and reacting to the world around us.
By slowing down our breath during meditation, we begin to shift from this analytical state to a more relaxed, subconscious state, often referred to as the alpha frequency. This shift allows us to access a deeper part of ourselves, where we can let go of old beliefs and tap into new possibilities. It’s like switching channels from a limited, known reality to something expansive and new.
Understanding the science behind meditation transformed my approach. I realized that by simply slowing down and focusing on my breath, I could change my brainwaves and, in turn, my life. This practice helped me become more aware of my body and mind, allowing me to catch old patterns of anxiety and tension before they could take over.
Meditation isn’t just about achieving goals or following trends; it’s about connecting with your true self. It offers the space between you and the outside world, giving you the freedom to respond rather than react. This space is where you can find your true potential and inner light, and that’s something worth making time for.
As you continue your meditation journey, remember that you are not your body, emotions, or thoughts—you are light. So start shining and give yourself the gift of meditation.

Until next time, keep shining.
