For weeks, my creativity felt frozen. And for me, creativity isn’t just about making something pretty—it’s key to my role as both a writer and a healer. My words, my rituals, my Reiki sessions—they all depend on that sacred flow. But lately, it felt like the river had dried up, leaving me staring at empty pages and restless in my spirit.
I sat with the weight of questions that so many of us are carrying right now:
How do we survive in a world where prices keep rising while goods and services vanish?
How do we stay housed and stable when everything feels so precarious?
How do we access the medical care we need in a system stretched thin?
And for me personally—how do I continue showing up for my Reiki clients, helping them heal and find balance in the middle of so much change?
These questions pressed on me so heavily that my usual wellspring of ideas went dry. I knew I needed to deepen the Reiki experience for my clients, to give them more support—but the inspiration wouldn’t come.
Then Spirit nudged me back to a practice I’ve trusted for years: my Tangerine Oil Ritual. I had almost forgotten it, but the moment I lit the candle and breathed in that bright citrus glow, something shifted. The heaviness lifted. My energy cleared. And OMG—my creativity rushed back.
From that ritual came a solution: a value-added tool for my Reiki sessions that helps clients understand what’s happening in their energy body and offers step-by-step instructions for self-care they can continue at home. A way to give more. A way to help people hold onto their light in darkening times.
And here’s the deeper truth—this answer wasn’t out there in the chaos of the world. It was right here, in me, in my own book Beguiled & Bewitching. The very medicine I needed was already waiting for me.
This is the spirit of an evolved #FAFO. We're finding out how to navigate a changing world with resilience, ancestral wisdom, and creativity. It’s about finding ways to sustain ourselves spiritually, emotionally, and energetically when the outside world feels unstable.
The lesson? Even in times of scarcity and uncertainty, our rituals, our tools, and our faith can open new pathways. The flow is never gone—it’s just waiting for us to remember how to tap into it.
I invite you to experience this ritual yourself. Watch the video below, let the radiance of tangerine oil awaken your creative spark, and if you feel called, explore more in Beguiled & Bewitching.
