✨💚 I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the little things in life that bring so much joy and beauty. One of those things happens to be my lovely green opal. 💚✨
🌿✨This mesmerizing gemstone holds a special place in my heart as it symbolizes growth, renewal, and abundance. Its vibrant green hue reminds me to appreciate the abundance of nature and all the blessings it provides us every day.🌿✨
💚The green opal has taught me the importance of staying connected to the earth and appreciating the beauty that surrounds us. Whether it's the lush greenery in a park or the delicate petals of a flower, nature never fails to amaze me with its wonders.💚
💚✨But beyond its physical beauty, my green opal also serves as a constant reminder to practice gratitude in all areas of my life. It encourages me to pause, reflect, and appreciate the little things that often go unnoticed .✨💚
✨Gratitude is a powerful tool that has the ability to transform our mindset and bring us closer to true happiness. It helps us shift our focus from what we lack to what we have, fostering a sense of contentment and fulfillment.✨
So, today, I invite you all to join me in expressing gratitude for the small things in life that bring us joy. It could be a kind gesture from a stranger, a warm cup of coffee in the morning, or even the beauty of a green opal that catches your eye.👁️✨
🌿💚Let's take a moment each day to acknowledge and appreciate these blessings. By cultivating gratitude, we open ourselves up to experiencing more abundance and positivity in our lives.💚🌿
What are you grateful for today? Share in the comments below and let's spread the gratitude together! 🙏💚✨
Thank you for being on this constant journey of life & expression with me. 🙏🏻✨
My mat is my sanctuary & my breathe is what constantly grounds me. 🧘🏼♀️ 🕉️
Let’s take a moment in this stillness together to unwind & breathe deep. 💖✨
Step 1: Find a quiet and comfortable space 🌿
Choose a location where you can relax and not be easily disturbed. It could be a quiet room in your home or a peaceful outdoor setting.🌼✨
Step 2: Get into a comfortable position 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♂️
Sit in a comfortable position, either on a cushion on the floor or on a chair with your feet flat on the ground. Make sure your back is straight but not rigid, and your shoulders are relaxed. 💚
Step 3: Focus on your breath ✨
Close your eyes and begin to pay attention to your breath. Take a few deep breaths to relax your body. Notice the sensation of the breath as you inhale and exhale. Focus all of your attention on the breath, allowing any other thoughts or distractions to gently fade away. 🌛🌝🌜
Step 4: Observe your thoughts 💭
As you continue to focus on your breath, thoughts may arise. Instead of getting caught up in them, simply observe them without judgment and let them go. Imagine your thoughts as clouds passing by in the sky, and allow them to drift away. 🌊
Step 5: Cultivate mindfulness 🕉️
Expand your awareness beyond your breath and observe your body, sensations, and emotions without getting attached to them. Be fully present in the moment, accepting whatever arises without judgment or resistance. 🙏🏻
Step 6: Use a mantra or visual aid (optional) ☁️
If you find it helpful, you can introduce a mantra or a visual aid to help anchor your focus. A mantra is a repeated word or phrase, such as "peace" or "calm." Alternatively, you can visualize a peaceful scene or object in your mind. ✌🏻
Step 7: Set a timer (optional) ⏰
If you prefer to have a specific time limit for your meditation session, set a timer for the desired duration. This can help you stay focused and avoid checking the clock. 🕰️
Step 8: End the meditation gradually ☀️
When you are ready to finish your meditation, slowly bring your awareness back to your surroundings. Gently open your eyes and take a moment to ground yourself before standing up. 👁️
Step 9: Practice regularly 🙏🏻
To experience the benefits of meditation, it is important to practice regularly. Start with a few minutes each day and gradually increase the duration as you become more comfortable. Consistency is key in developing a meditation practice. ✨
Remember, meditation is a personal journey, and there is no right or wrong way to do it. Allow yourself to be patient and gentle with yourself as you explore this practice. 🙏🏻💖
Join me for more meditation & yoga tips. 🌿
Enjoy the beauty of life & slowing down!
Namaste everyone!! 🕉️

🌼✨”Wildflowers can't be controlled, and neither can the girl with a soul boundless as the sky, and a spirit as free and wild as the ocean.”🌼✨
After a long week I was ready to slow down & get in touch with nature & re-center. So I hit a forest preserve near me where I danced in the meadows, and watched the sun set. Whenever I’m feeling stressed or there’s too much going on I turn towards Mother Earth for comfort in a world that doesn’t seem to slow down. 🌼🌿
🌸 Did you know that wildflowers play a crucial role in our ecosystem and are essential to the health of our forests? 🌳 Let's dive into the amazing world of wildflowers and the importance of forest preservation! 🌿
🌼 Wildflowers are not just pretty to look at; they provide vital habitats and food sources for various insects, birds, and other wildlife. By preserving forests, we protect these valuable ecosystems and ensure the survival of countless species.
🌱 Forest preserves serve as natural sanctuaries for wildflowers, allowing them to thrive undisturbed. These colorful blooms not only add beauty to our surroundings but also contribute to the overall balance of nature. They help regulate the water cycle, prevent soil erosion, and improve air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.
🌺 Protecting forest preserves is a collective responsibility. We can all contribute by supporting conservation organizations, participating in reforestation efforts, and raising awareness about the importance of maintaining these precious environments.
🍃 So, next time you spot a wildflower in a forest or meadow, take a moment to appreciate its significance. Remember, by preserving our forests and their delicate wildflower populations, we are safeguarding the health of our planet for future generations. Let's work together to protect and cherish these natural wonders! 🌎💚

We all need a safe place where we can unwind from our day and worries, even on days I’m not feeling my best my altar is there to remind me of my higher self. 💜🙏🏻
I bet you’re wondering how I discovered this special talent? Well, here’s the short version. More descriptive footage on my OFTV coming soon! 🔥✨
When I was around 17 I started going to music festivals and meeting all sorts of people. A friend of mine decided to give me a hula hoop as a gift, I was so inspired by her flow and the way she expressed herself dancing with a prop, I had to learn myself. I never considered myself a good dancer but something magical unlocked when I had a prop, I was able to move to the beat! I started watching videos on the basics of flow with a prop and from there on I was committed to learn this sorcery. I started getting really good and felt comfortable dancing with LED hoops in front of others, the more I did it I found a whole community of performers I would be inspired by. From there, I met a musician who said I should dance on stage while he plays his music. Unlocking the live performance aspect was a whole new world for me and I just wanted more, so I decided to create my own troupe of fire & LED performers. I found us gigs at music festivals, breweries, birthday parties, and we even hosted our own full moon fire ceremony!! 🔥🔥🔥✨✨✨
Moral of the story, if you really want something then go for it! We are quite literally capable of achieving absolutely anything our hearts desire, don’t set limits for yourself because they don’t exist! ✨ whoever said the sky is the limit was wrong! We’re going to different galaxies and portals my loves.
Stay beautiful & bright! 🔥✨😉
Enjoying a delectable Spanish evening inspired by Salvador Dali himself… 🌹💃🏽🎨 Tapas is a wonderful way to explore multiple foods at a dinner table without confining yourself to one palette experience. I always say, “variety is the spice of life.” 🤌🏻
Did you know Salvador Dali was expelled from art school after refusing to sit for his final exams? He was quite the rebel but chose to channel that energy into his artwork that we love and appreciate today. 💪🏻 🖼️
What are some of your favorite foods? Drop comments below! 🥗🍝🍤🍕🍜🍔

🧘🏼♀️✨There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground -Rumi ✨🧘🏼♀️

In nature I find solace where I can strike my favorite yoga pose known as “standing half bow.”🧘🏼♀️🤍🧘🏼♀️
This standing balance backbend enhances the elasticity of the spine while toning the abdominal organs and strengthening legs. The balance aspect is a reminder that strength and grace are possible at the same time.✨👍🏻
1. Stand in mountain pose. Inhale deeply onto the full length of your body. Gradually transfer your weight on to the left foot, and take your right foot back to place the big toe on the floor behind you. With hands on hips, lift out of your lower back and arch your back into a long bend.
2. Bend the right knee and lift the heel high in the air. Stay in this backbend for a few breaths to strengthen the back muscles.
3. Bring the heel toward the right buttock, reach back with the right hand, and grasp the outer ankle with the right hand. Press the right foot back while you pull the ankle forward with your right hand to create as big an arch in your ‘bow’ as possible.
Lift the right leg backward to bring the thigh more parallel to the floor and your shin more vertical, sole of the foot facing upward. Press you’re right hip and right side ribs forward to square your torso to the front.
4. Bend the supporting leg and lean forward as you raise the left arm parallel to the floor, palm facing up. Bring the tips of the index finger and thumb together. With eyes soft, gaze at the point of union between finger and thumb. Breath smoothly and evenly, balancing with ease and grace on the left leg as the right foot continues to push backward and upward. Focus on allowing the curve of the spine to flow up behind the heart has you push the chest open and keep the shoulders even.
5. Release the right foot as you exhale. Return to stand evenly in mountain pose. Repeat on the other side.
Practice near a wall for balance
Effect: Focusing 🧘🏼♀️✨
Sunset Cliffs in San Diego takes me away to a brighter place where the vibes are immaculate, the oceans run deep, and the music sings in reggae (the vibration of LOVE.) 💚💛❤️
Slightly Stoopid is one of my life long favorite bands, they have guided me through all of the waves of existence! Ocean Beach California is where the band first got together in 1995 where they caught the attention of Sublime singer Bradley Nowell, who signed them for their first records & released their first CDS together. 💿 🎶
Reggae is more than just music, it’s a vibration that celebrates earth, love, and unity. What we listen to, wether it’s music or the voice in our head we get to choose the vibration we want to tap into everyday.
💚💛❤️
🌿🌸“The goal of life is living in
agreement with nature.” -Buddha 🌸🌿
Nature is truly what keeps us grounded in a world that never stops. Any time I feel myself spiraling from the everyday hustle & bustle of our current reality, I turn towards Mother Earth to re-center. 🌸🙏🏻🌲
Wether that means taking the scenic route home from work, enjoying the sunrise on an early day, or simply walking barefoot in my backyard. We all have the tools to slow down and ground ourselves, we just have to tap into the beauties our earth already provides us with! 🙏🏻
At the Illusion exhibit in Chicago I was drawn to this installation where one wall was projecting a red, green, and blue light. ❤️💙💚On the wall it was projecting on to it was completely white but, as I walked closer to the “white” wall my shadow illuminated the vibrant colors once again.
One of my favorite quotes says, “There is always light. If only we’re brave enough to see it, if only we’re brave enough to be it.” 🤍🤍🤍 Each day we are all just remembering the light we have within us, and how much of it we have to spread onto each other~ keep shining you beautiful souls! ✨
Stay tuned for my OFTV episode that I shot at this exhibit! 😇
Like wildflowers, you must allow yourself to grow in all the places people thought you never would. 🌼🌼🌼
This installation is called “Sentient,” created by Daniel Popper, who is known for his larger than life sculptures. I was fortunate enough to experience his exhibit named, “Human Nature” at the Morton Arboretum in Illinois. 🥰
We are all sentient beings meant to feel all of our emotions and, like a wildflower, we can blossom too! 🌼
Growing at our own pace - out of the dirt and reaching towards the sky.
Take a moment today to feel into your higher self and remember your power.

Luna here on this beautiful day! 🤍🖤
Ever wonder how I make my acrylic pours? I’m here to give you a little run down on how I create the magic that is posted here behind me in this photo. 🥰
I’m a firm believer in non-waste, recycling, and reusing. I find a lot of my canvases from thrift stores that have been previously used but, need a fresh new start! 🙏🏻
Once I find a set of canvases that I’m drawn to I bring them home where the magic begins! 🪄
I place push pins into the back of each corner of the canvases which help elevate them, so once I pour the paint over the canvas it will prevent the piece from sticking to the plastic on my table!
You can find a lot of acrylic paint that is labeled “ready to pour” which means the mixing medium has already been added to the paints! The mixing medium allows the pain to smoothly spread over the canvases, without having to pick up each piece & move them too often. 🥰💞 depending on your skill level, mediums & paints are sold separately as well!
Once I decide on which colors I want to use, I pour each layer of color into a large cup layering every color over the top of one another until my cup is almost full! I find pieces come out best when you stick to a maximum of 3 colors or less! 💜🖤🤍
Stay tuned for more descriptive videos on how to make these mesmerizing abstract pieces of art! 🎨 Until then, stay beautiful & continue looking at life as one big painting! 💕💜💘
This seated pose called Padmasana is described as the basic posture in yoga. It's one of my favorite poses to start with as I ease in to the rest of my yoga flow, so let's get started! 🧘🏼♀️ 🙏🏻🕉️
Step one: Sit on the floor or mat whichever you prefer, then begin stretching your legs straight in front of you.
Step 2: Bend your right leg at the knee, and begin placing your right foot on your left thigh gently with the help of your hands. You should already feel a good stretch in your right hip flexor.
Step 3: Now, fold your left leg at the knee as you tuck it under your right ankle.
Step 4: Bring your palms to center touching one another as pictured here, and begin breathing deeply. Start by breathing all the way in through your nose until you can't anymore, and then exhale through your mouth entirely. Do this breath work at least five times in a row, in order to slow down your nervous system.
Step 5: Once you feel comfortable in this position with your palms to center still, straighten out both legs and then bend your left leg at the knee. Once again gently with the help of your hands, place the left foot on your right thigh.
Step 6: Bend your right leg at the knee, this time tucking it under your left thigh. You will feel a good stretch in your left hip flexor now, remember during your pose continuing your breathe work I stated in step four.
Padmasana is great to open up your hips especially if you are seated often, wether it's driving, or if you're sitting at a desk for most of your day.
Stay tuned for more yoga poses and breath work. 💖
Namaste everyone~ remember to stay beautiful and continue spreading love and light through out your day.
💓💗💖💘💝💞💘💓💗💖💘💝💕💖💗💓💕
One of my dreams is to live near the ocean… 💭🌊
My favorite body of water is the Coral Sea, where you can find our magnificent Great Barrier Reef. Did you know the Great Barrier Reef is the largest living thing on earth & is visible from outer space? 10% of the worlds total fish species can be found just within the Great Barrier Reef. Keeping our oceans clean and safe is what will continue bringing humanity closer to unity~
namaste everyone! 🤍✨⭐️🌍🙏🏻
Hi there LUNAtics! ✨🌛🌝🌜✨
Vincent Van Gogh will forever be one of my favorite iconic abstract artists. Did you know he only sold one of his paintings in his lifetime? Or that he painted “Starry Night” in an insane asylum? 😳😶
I was able to experience an immersive Van Gogh exhibit, where his paintings were projected onto the walls around me, as I strolled around drinking champagne wondering how I could create something even half as magnificent as him. 💭🥂🎨🖼️
I spent the day at Cataract Falls on a hike in Sevier, Tennessee at The Great Smoky National Park. I hiked, trailed around different waterfalls, and found pretty flowers.
Nature will always be my greatest healer, especially in our everyday busy lives. It’s important to find time to unwind, and disconnect for awhile.

Hi beautiful souls!
What’s your favorite flower? Mine are orchids. 🥰 I was able to visit this beautiful orchid greenhouse, where I was introduced to different species of orchids I never knew of before. Did you know that orchids are the world’s largest plant family? Orchids have the tiniest seeds in the world. This makes them a challenge to grow and cultivate. They take forever to sprout and actually turn into a plant! Growing orchids from seeds is only for the patient and very green-thumbed.
🌸💐🌺🌷🌻🌼
Maybe one day I’ll have my own orchid greenhouse 💭.
