Deep study, many meditations, gardening, movement, nutrition, much less screen time.


In these past 10 days I have been dialing back in to my healthiest practices. One of the main ones here being less screen time, and when I am on my phone or computer, I make sure it is completely intentional. I had fallen into the habit of allowing what came up on my phone to guide me, and then usually losing my train of thought. I am back to 100% choosing the reason I pick my phone up and what it is that I am looking in to. I have been using the phone purely for study, and to keep in touch with family and friends.

Almost a year ago now, I got a cell phone again after not having a phone at all for a year (when I decided i wanted to be a doula, i figured id need a phone). In that time I had developed deep, healthy practices, that took some time to fall away from, though I still had succumbed to the distraction technology creates. I have been very conscious of these things that I had let fall to the wayside and have completely caught back up with where I was. A few of these daily practices being:

  • Movement practices (yoga, flow arts, walking, stretching, skating, etc.)

  • Study and reading (mostly of health and wellness practices)

  • Nutrition (highest quality, highest digestibility, highest absorption, creative, and DELICIOUS)

  • Self Love (slowing down, making sure all decisions are a YES, otherwise its no, meditation, self tuning, plant love, PRESENCE)

When I fill my day with these things, I thrive. I've been contemplating going back to not having a cell phone, maybe a landline, and hardwiring any internet. With what I have been creating with my doula work, this would work. I find that I really in joy the education aspect of being a doula and want to share that information far and wide. This has also opened me to seeing that the "therapy" and trauma processing that so many of us need is a gift I have been given to share with the world. I make a wonderful guide, and what I think is so interesting is that this processing usually stems from physical ailments, from there then I am able to dive into what is really causing these ailments. No matter how they happened, there is a deeper reason that energy was attracted to these specific points. There is no such thing as coincidence. Since I really opened into the world of energy healing for myself, I have attracted people who are open to diving deeper. I just never saw how I could offer this. The oppurtunities are opening up, and I have faith in my abilities, especially as I continue to study and inner stand all of this even deeper.

So much of what I have learned also stems from what I have healed from myself. I choose to do the deep dive to be able to truly move forward and to shift my own inner-actions. I've been gifted the ability to see life differently than others from a very young age, and this had been pushed to the wayside due to many things. I know this is how I am meant to help the world heal, to help others be able to see truth that lies right before our eyes. Lifting the veil and guiding others safely to be able to keep the veil lifted.

Interested in what I'm talking about? Have any ailments? Seeking the truth of what's causing them, rather than a prescription that will cause more ailments? Or a surgery that just puts the ailment on hold until then something for some reason happens in the same spot, or a connected body part? I'm here with truth, and here with love, to truly help everyone who is interested find true peace.

The practices I do daily, keep me focused, and allow me to see through the distractions. I can only wish this for everyone else, especially after having a period where I fell from these practices.

I feel baby is here cheering me on. Baby knows that when I am in this place, I create a healthier, happier babe. Our babies initial programmings are when they are in our womb. They feel everything we are going through and this shapes them into who they will be. How do I know? I have done deep processing of the time I was in gestation and have been able to shift these programmings to how I choose to act and react. You know those feelings you get when you ask yourself, why do I feel this way? These are some of those programmings. And this is the space I injoy guiding others through. If you don't have parents around to ask about gestation or birth, there are meditations that can bring you there. Please do yourself a favor and try to notice these feelings as they come up. I am always here for help.❤️


Side note, I made these amazing cookies yesterday! They taste great, they're a great texture, they are super nourishing, theyre easily digestible, and theyre easy! The recipe, I'm not exact on measurements, when I figure out the numbers I'll make a full recipe post. The ingredients (amounts are guesses):

  • 1 cup Chickpeas (soaked&sprouted)

  • 1cup Cashews (soaked&sprouted&dehydrated)

  • A duck egg

  • 1/4 cup 100% Cacao powder

  • 3 tbsp 100% Maple syrup

  • 1/4 cup Spring water

  • 1/2 tbsp Vanilla extract

  • 1/2 tbsp Cinnamon

  • 4 Dates

  • Pinch Salt

Icing:

  • Coconut Manna

  • Honey

  • Cacao Nibs


I put all the ingredients in the nutri bullet until it was a smooth texture and tasted yummy... Then baked them on 350 for 9-13 minutes.. depending on cookie size. I was so surprised by them, I tried some on Travis and his buddies... They loved them too! He will not just eat anything I make.. so I know they were actually good.. plus the few that were left over today... Were even better!


Thanks for catching up!


I love you always in all ways!

Samantha 🙏❤️🤗
