Why are all or most of my offerings sliding scale and offer payment plans?

I want to create as much opportunity as possible for everyone to release the fear of not having enough, and to work with money and their creative abilities in a way that feels better for the nervous system.

Every time we commit our energy- be it time, money or attention toward something, and we REALLY commit- this is when magic and transformation happens.

I’ve gone on some of the most amazing journeys by being offered the same opportunity, from traveling to Japan to learn a new language, to stepping into my higher self and going to Costa Rica and really stepping into my creatrix mode and even training as a Priestess in Florida with amazing womxn.

With that being said I am opening up a magical 🎨RAFFLE 🎨

1st Prize: Your Spot in Emerging Creative Starting 2/2
2nd Prize: A Full 3 hr Dream Reflection Session

3rd Prize: Your spot in a Group Dream Reflection photo ceremony (more dates coming soon)

Raffle is going for $11.11 which also goes toward a future class, and a digital art meditation piece.

Guidelines: please Venmo Gabriela-Hnizdo with either your @ or email for contact, and you will receive a confirmation from me 🍃

RAFFLE winners will be announced 1/27/25 and closes 11:59pm 1/26/25 EST.

***for those near the NY metro area or with the ability to travel to this specific place physically***

Excited to connect with everyone!

In the midst of 25 degree NYC I’ve been gifted with scenes and spaces where summer and spring literally exist in places the sun reaches- be it a small wading pond where green growth thrives or wells of flowing water, or spaces cats rest that feel like 70 degrees from the rays that are ever increasing. It’s a reminder that even in the freezers and ice pops of summer thy winter can exist at the same time. It’s an incredible reminder that a literal winter can be someone’s spring blossoming and spring can be someone else’s humbling fall season. We can use the contrast as a blessing to create, and reminders that life’s fleeting moments can include many different colors.

Funny I was trying to get a whole reel for the year together, when all forms of technology were saying to simplify.

I decided to choose 4 images to represent each season of experiences and it’s amazing the how the four that connected with each other have this feeling of what I feel was my theme and motif that repeated itself. It reminds me of what a wise friend has written in poetry, and that is-

You must ground and root so deeply in your faith of what your path is, and who and what crosses your path on the way, that you are then able to rise. And like a whole forest is many trees communicating with each other, you have other human beings you can root together with over time. The deeper you reach the higher you fly.

Have you ever considered how you think and feel about your wants, needs and desires connect to the amount of space you allow yourself to take up?

Last night some really incredible insights on how considering what we want really puts us into the realm of unknown… yet it also can help us dive into creative possibility.

All of us have so much potential that we can explore when we allow ourselves to take up space, and jump in!

You need to go deep into your s@&! if you want to get really creative and find your passion. Do it for the art right?

I remember and still go through moments where I plateau, and
c r a v e breakthrough.

You know, some mystical moment where something comes and swoops in to save the day, right? Like maybe some extra cash to do the thing…. Or an idea?
Nope. Not happening.

Guess what. That moment is in me, AND you. But the only way in is going deeper, and doing something different…

It’s the thing you fear or avoid so much it practically screams at you.

I want to be there to hold your hand while you go through it. While you feel, and re-learn that life is, and isn't so serious.

Calves and Shins embracing Change

Take a breath or two. Move your feet, then your ankles- imagining them spinning and twirling like roots. Bring your attention to your shins... then your calves.

What do you feel? Can you name it? Do you simply exist inside of the bones holding those parts of you? Be there for a moment. Breathing with it.

Accepting tightness or suppleness, simply giving attention.

POWERFUL ENERGY SYSTEMS

In the study of minor chakra systems moving up the leg from the feet up to the calves+ shins we find the Talatala.

This zone connects to the senses sight, listening, and touch but that connected to information and agreement gathered outside of our own experiences. We can connect old generational stories here and beliefs we grow up around. These are the things that we learn, accept, and choose to change when the time comes.

I need to make a correction to a previous email where I wrote the ankles were the Mahatala (I mentioned in the first email they are the whole feet)- while they are actually the Rasatala. That area connects specifically to the realm of self-centeredness as well as centering while connecting with others. It helps us navigate. Apologies for any confusion.

Here is a link (https://www.indianetzone.com/19/patala_chakra.htm) for that

THE CALVES + SHINS AS TOOLS TO HEAL

The cushions and shield of our legs, the shins and calves both brace for, and embrace our lives, choices, agreements, shifts and existence.

The calves pump blood up to the heart- connecting us to whether our choices are actually heart based or fulfilling. Shins take on the brunt of daily experiences, frustrations and more. If overworked both areas can get inflamed or gain excess water storage or tension. Giving our legs love and lifting them above our hearts is both grounding and helps bring down tension especially in these two areas.

The sensations you receive might look completely unique to you, so it would be helpful to consider taking time to mindfully observe little moments with your calves and shins on each side whether or not you work with them physically. Energy always exists in these areas even in memory.

ROOTS RUN DEEP

As in this part of the season after the lunar new year in February, we are beginning to water our seeds we decide to plant.

Now, when seeds grow, the roots first need to expand downward into the earth toward the molten center before creating the strength needed to dance through the soil where it can be seen.

🌿

THE UNDERGROUND

For many of us it has become normal to talk about things like grounding and studying the chakra system or even hearing the term 'connect to your roots'. Ever notice there is a LOT going on down there?

In yoga and meditation practices we connect to the root generally through our perineum close to our sitting bones, but I will never forget the day when last year I had gone to a gathering where the facilitator had us connect to spinning energy centers in places like our feet, ankles and knees.

Wait- right? There are actually energy centers there, and very specific ways our body holds us up and receives information. Each of these centers help us connect deeply into the earth, far into the ground and into our underworlds and subconscious.

An Invitation

Over the next few weeks I'll be sharing some writing, links, inspiration and history of how humans have connected to the following centers, along with a few offers for movement practices in person on Tuesdays and online live meditations on Fridays.

-Our feet and how we connect to the depths of earth
-Our ankles and decision making
- The calves and shins and feeling
-Our knees and support in movement
-Our thighs and trust in change
-The hips and sits in planting and intuiting
-Our perineum and opening to feeling safe in the core

Each of these is like a little rung of a ladder or individual root that holds up the trunk of a tree. Like an iceberg they run deep to center of our being and connection.

The first meditation with happen live on Youtube/Instagram this Friday 2/18 at 12 noon EST. Stay tuned for reminder emails and see you then!

31/01/2022

A couple days in the middle of Yule and Christmas season I remember waking up at 2am and hearing my body say 'you need to go outside right now', and so I did in the middle of a rain drizzle. I placed my hands into the earth and just felt so creative I couldn't stop digging and drawing shapes with my hands and working with many directions.

And I'd like to share to be with so many of us that may not exactly know what's going on and have been shifting or feeling like plans have been going in all kinds of directions.

Last year I set out to move to France to go to school, and I found something deeper... the invitation to really dive into the core of what really drives me to create and share. In October, I arrived and found out my program had shifted gears that no longer resonated with me, and I chose to really enter the unknown and leave it despite all the pushing to make things work a certain way. That let go felt like a huge drop until I was reminded I could request my energy to come back (knowing this is not just the push of myself but of a whole community of people), and realizing there are so many more months I've got to exploring and planting here and a few other places that have really hit some heart strings and depth of my bones.

The people and communities I have met so far is already enough of a blessing, from cacao ceremonies, yoga and tea, roomie adventures to Southern France, street cats and planting seeds for growing things with others, impromptu trips to London, I just find that I'm being called to follow love- being, sharing, receiving, and creating it. I'm following the sun in and out thanks to this shift. I'm alive- like really alive- through feeling and tasting every bit of it. From having a good meditative ugly cry in the park as a wild cat walks up to me (this really happened) and deep gut laughter about re-enacting a Portlandia skit in freezing cold weather in front of Versailles after learning about all of the weird ass stuff royals used to do and dancing in the streets, life is ultimately for opening.

There is so much room for creation in the unknown. Thank you.
