There has been a stirring in humanity... an awakening. Maybe it's being felt as a quiet whisper, maybe it’s a full-blown soul call, but many are feeling it. . . an urge to break free from old patterns, to step into something greater, something more authentic than ever before. The world is shifting at an unpredictable pace, and it’s becoming clearer by the day that the old ways of navigating life just don’t work anymore. You may be craving something deeper, something that doesn’t just help you cope but helps you thrive—no matter what’s happening around you.

This is where the Luxunis Method comes in.

We are living in a time of profound transformation. More than ever, people are waking up, realizing there’s more to life, more to them than what they’ve been told. Maybe you’ve been sensing this shift too—feeling like you’re on the edge of something powerful but not quite sure how to access it. You’re not alone. The world is chaotic, the energy is intense, and now, more than ever, you need to trust your inner guidance. The Luxunis Method is here to help you do just that. It’s not just about healing; it’s about empowerment—about reclaiming your sovereignty, strengthening your intuition, and stepping into the highest version of yourself.

But how do you know if you’re ready to take that next step? Here are five signs that the Luxunis Method is calling to you:

1. Your Usual Spiritual Practices Aren’t Feeling Like They Used To
Meditation, tarot, journaling, energy work—these have been your go-to practices, but lately? They are “hitting” the way they used to, not entirely. You’re craving something deeper, something that not only shifts energy but transforms how you move through life. The Luxunis Method isn’t just another spiritual tool—it’s a whole new way of working with energy that’s designed to activate your personal power at the deepest level.


2. Life is Throwing You Some Major Plot Twists
Everything feels like it’s changing—relationships, work, priorities, even your sense of self. It’s like the Universe is nudging (or shoving) you toward something bigger. This isn’t chaos; it’s transformation. When the old starts breaking apart, it’s time to step fully into who you were meant to be. The Luxunis Method helps you navigate these shifts with clarity, confidence, and a deep sense of purpose, helping you turn uncertainty into an opportunity for growth.


3. As World Feels Unstable and You're Searching for Stability 
With everything shifting so unpredictably, you might be feeling unsteady, searching for a way to stay grounded and clear-headed. The world is going through major shifting, and more than ever, trusting your inner guidance is crucial. The Luxunis Method offers a way to navigate this changing terrain with confidence, clarity, and purpose—helping you reclaim your sovereignty and move forward with certainty, no matter what’s unfolding around you.


4. You’re a Natural Healer, But You Want Something More
You’ve always been the person others come to for guidance, the one who just knows things, the one who wants to help. Maybe you’ve explored Reiki, tarot, or other energy work, but nothing has quite felt like home. The Luxunis Method isn’t just another healing modality—it’s a full activation of your natural, inherent gifts and an invitation to step into your true power as an energy worker and guide.


5. You’re Done with Just Healing—You Want Empowerment
So many spiritual paths focus on healing wounds, but you’re ready for more. You don’t want to just fix things—you want to thrive. The Luxunis Method shifts your entire energetic frequency so you’re not just healing over and over—you’re stepping into mastery, into full embodiment of your highest self. It’s about reclaiming the wholeness that’s already within you.

Are You Ready?

If this is resonating, then there’s a huge possibility you’re ready. The Luxunis Method isn’t just something you experience, it’s something you become. It’s a path of deep transformation, empowerment, and awakening to your truest, highest, energetic potential.

​And you don’t have to walk it alone. There are Luxunis Method Practitioners, including myself, who are available to guide and support you. If you feel the call, trust it. Reach out, explore, and take that next step toward reclaiming your power. You’re not just healing, you’re becoming. And that changes everything!

If you're ready, reach out! I'm just a message away!

Blessings on your journey-

Shakti

<![CDATA[Midwinter Magick: Awakening Your Inner Brilliance with Imbolc]]>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 23:02:08 GMThttps://luxunis.com/blog/midwinter-magick-awakening-your-inner-brilliance-with-imbolc
Hello Beautiful Souls,
Blessed Imbolc! This is one of my favorite times of year, when I feel the magick of transformation. It's a time to dream big and think about the intentions you want to "seed" for this year.

For me, Imbolc is much more than a seasonal marker, it’s an opportunity to reconnect with the core of my spirit and to set intentions that nurture growth in all facets of life. It’s a time to honor Brigid, the Goddess of Inspiration, healing, and creative spark. This is a moment to shed the weight of what no longer serves us and to make space for dreams yet to be born.

This ritual helps me channel Imbolc’s transformative energy, and I’m excited to share it with you!

1. Create Your Sacred Space
Start by carving out a little sanctuary in your home (if you don't have one already).
Gather items that speak to your spirit:
  • White candles: Let their pure light remind you of the hope and clarity that lie ahead.
  • Offering: A small dish of milk or cream, that symbolizes fertility and abundance.
  • Seeds: Choose seeds that can represent tiny symbols of the potential waiting to be nurtured and grown.
  • A bowl of water: To cleanse and rejuvenate and wash away the old.
  • Personal tokens: A beloved crystal, a cherished charm, or even a sprig of fresh blooms that lift your heart.
Before you settle in, take a moment to clear your space. Light some rosemary or cedar, and as the smoke rises, set your intention to invite inspiration, creativity, and clarity.

2. Connect to Your Inner Flame
Light your white candle and let its soft glow be a mirror to your inner light. As you gaze into the flame, feel the warmth and strength of your own creative spirit.
Say:
"With this flame, I awaken the light within me. May it guide my steps towards growth and infinite possibility."
Pause, breathe deeply, and let the flickering light remind you that no matter how dark the night, your inner fire burns brightly, waiting to illuminate your path.

3. Plant the Seeds of Your Intentions
Hold a few seeds in your hand—each one a promise of what you wish to nurture in your life. Whether you’re planting literal seeds or using symbolic ones, let your heart speak. Close your eyes, visualize your deepest desires, and say:
"With these seeds, I plant the promise of my future. May they grow, flourish, and lead me to a life abundant with love, creativity, and joy."
Then, gently place the seeds on your altar or plant them in a pot. Let each seed remind you of your own potential for blossoming into something extraordinary.

4. Cleanse and Renew Your Spirit
Now, take your bowl of water and anoint yourself—forehead, heart, and palms. As the cool water caresses your skin, affirm:
"I release the old and embrace the new. I welcome the flow of fresh energy and open my heart to all the possibilities that await."
Feel the cleansing ritual washing away any lingering doubts, leaving you open and ready for the blessings of the season.

5. Close with Gratitude 
As you close your ritual, take a few moments to bask in gratitude. Thank your ancestors, Mother Earth, your Spirit team or and the unseen energies that support your journey. Extinguish your candle softly, knowing that its light continues to burn within you. If you used milk or cream as an offering, pour it lovingly onto the earth or over a living plant—a final tribute to the cycle of nourishment and renewal.

If a full ritual feels like too much, here are some suggestions to still honor the magick of  Imbolc:
  • Evening Reflection: Light a candle at sunset and reflect on the sparks of inspiration that danced through your day.
  • Sacred Space Refresh: Dedicate time to declutter and revitalize your surroundings, making room for new energies.
  • Intentional Cooking: Prepare a meal infused with care, using seasonal ingredients that celebrate the bounty of life.
  • Dream Journaling: Write down your dreams, intentions, and ideas—the seeds of the future waiting to be nurtured.

Remember that Imbolc is a reminder of the cycle of rebirth and possibilities. Below the surface of what appears to a dormant and slumbering earth, there is a vibrant pulse beneath urging us to dream, to grow, and to shine.

How do you embrace the magick of Imbolc in your own life? Share your rituals, reflections, or even the smallest sparks of inspiration in the comments below. 

Blessed Imbolc and Blessed Dreaming-
Shakti

<![CDATA[the Magick of the First New Moon of 2025: Welcome to the Year of the Wood Snake]]>Thu, 23 Jan 2025 02:42:15 GMThttps://luxunis.com/blog/the-magick-of-the-first-new-moon-of-2025-welcome-to-the-year-of-the-wood-snakePicture
The Lunar New Year is almost here! A fresh slate, infinite possibilities, and, on January 29th, our very first new moon of 2025.
This celestial event doesn’t just bring a cosmic reset; it carries the magical energy of new beginnings, amplified by the arrival of the Lunar New Year and the start of the Year of the Wood Snake. This is a great time to set intentions, connect with nature, and flow into the energies of the year ahead.


What Does the First New Moon Mean?
​New moons are always a time for planting seeds—metaphorically and energetically. When the sky is dark, it’s like the universe is giving us a blank page, saying, “Here, your story starts now.” This isn’t the time to rush or leap but rather to dreamreflect, and whisper your deepest desires to the cosmos.


This new moon in Aquarius invites us to think big.
​Here are some things to ponder and journal about:
  • What’s the life you’ve always wanted to create?
  • What impact do you want to make on the world?
  • How can you tap into your unique magic to shift not only your reality but the collective energy?

Pair this potent Aquarian energy with the dawning of the Year of the Wood Snake, and we’ve got an alchemy of wisdom, transformation, and creativity waiting to unfold.

The Year of the Wood Snake: 
In Chinese astrology, the Snake is a symbol of transformation, mystery, and intuition. But this year isn’t just any snake year—it’s ruled by Wood, an element that embodies growth, flexibility, and deep roots. The combination of Snake and Wood makes 2025 a year to shed old skins, embrace new perspectives, and anchor your dreams into reality.
Here are some ways to work this energy to fullest extent:
  • Trust your instincts. Snakes are intuitive and wise. Lean into your inner knowing, even when logic tells you otherwise.
  • Be adaptable. Like a snake winding its way through unexpected terrain, the key to thriving in 2025 will be flexibility.
  • Focus on growth. The Wood element brings a steady energy for building strong foundations. Think long-term success, not quick wins.
This is the year to cultivate patience, refine your goals, and align your efforts with your higher purpose.

Ways to Work with the First New Moon & Lunar New Year Energy
Here’s how you can harness the magic of this cosmic fresh start:

1. Set Your Intentions
Use the energy of the new moon to journal your intentions.
Questions to ponder:
  • What am I ready to release as I step into 2025?
  • What seeds do I want to plant in my life this year?
  • How can I embody wisdom, intuition, and growth like the Wood Snake?
Write your intentions on paper and place them under a green candle (representing the Wood element). Light the candle and let its flame infuse your desires with transformative power. Let it burn all the way down while focusing on your intentions (never leave a candle unattended). If you're short on time, you may also divide the candle into three sections and burn each section for 3 days. 

2. Cleanse Your Space 
Before you can grow, you must clear out the clutter. Just as the Snake sheds its skin, take this time to let go of what no longer serves you. Smudge your home with sage, sprinkle some salt in your corners for energetic clearing, or even just reorganize your sacred space. Consider as you clean what you're ready to release or what has served its purpose and is ready for releasing. 

3. Create a Lunar Vision Board:
A fun way to create a board is to go digital! Create a vision board on Canva or Pinterest that reflects your goals for the year. Include images, affirmations, and symbols that resonate with the themes of intuition, growth, and adaptability.

4. Incorporate Family Traditions
For my family, the Lunar New Year is always special. One of our favorite traditions is exchanging red envelopes with $2 bills inside. Why $2 bills, you ask? We believe they bring good luck and ensure prosperity for the coming year! It’s such a beautiful way to share abundance and blessings with loved ones while staying connected to this season of renewal. This year, I’ll be traveling to Minnesota to spend time with my children and grandchildren. Rest assured, the red envelope tradition will be alive and well—and full of love. 

A Ritual to Align with the Year of the Wood Snake:
Here’s a simple but powerful ritual to kick off 2025 aligned with this lunar magic:
  1. Gather Your Tools:
    • A green candle
    • A small bowl of water (to represent renewal)
    • A piece of wood or something earthy (to connect with the element)
    • A crystal like serpentine, moss agate, or green aventurine for transformation and growth
  2. Set Your Sacred Space:
    Cleanse your space with incense or sage. Light your candle and take three deep breaths to center your energy and focus. Imagine yourself shedding old energy like the Snake sheds its skin. What feels ready to release? What feels too "tight" and uncomfortable for you? What is calling for release? 
  3. Speak Your Intentions:
    Say aloud: “As I step into the Year of the Snake, I release all that no longer is working in my favor. I embrace growth, intuition, and transformation. May I move with grace and wisdom, trusting the path ahead.”
  4. Seal the Ritual:
    Dip your fingers into the water and touch your third eye, heart, and palms as a blessing for clarity, love, and aligned action. Keep the wood or crystal on your altar as a reminder of your intentions. You may want to put the crystal you chose in your pillow case to inspire dreams to guide you.

<![CDATA[One With the Flow: My Coffee Runneth Over!]]>Wed, 08 Jan 2025 17:35:11 GMThttps://luxunis.com/blog/one-with-the-flow-my-coffee-runneth-overIt’s been a while since I sat down to write—really write. The kind of writing where my thoughts flow freely, unfiltered and unapologetically real. There’s a rustiness to it, a clunky awkwardness that comes from letting the words sit still for too long. But today, I breathe. And as I exhale, I’m reminded that life’s flow doesn’t stop just because we’ve paused to catch our breath. It’s always moving, carrying us forward, whether we’re ready or not.

This morning, as I sipped my coffee, I felt that familiar stirring. A nudge. A whisper. Maybe it was the sunlight streaming through the window, or perhaps it was the way the steam curled upward, as if it, too, had something to say. Whatever it was, it reminded me that the flow is always there, waiting for me to dip back in.

Lately, life has felt a little… noisy. You know what I mean? That kind of noise that isn’t external but internal. The hum of too many thoughts competing for attention, the nagging pull of things undone, and the quiet—yet persistent—whisper of "you should be doing more." But here’s the thing I’m learning: there is magick in the pause. In the stillness. In the decision to say, "Today, I’ll just be."

And so, I’ve decided to stop fighting the flow and instead, float with it. To honor the rhythm of my life as it is, not as I think it should be. It’s a gentle surrender, one that’s been both liberating and terrifying. But isn’t that the dance of life? The constant balancing act between holding on and letting go.

Today, I let go of needing everything to be perfect. I let go of the fear that my words won’t resonate or that they might be too much, or worse, not enough. Instead, I’m choosing to trust that the words I share will find the hearts that need them most.

​Life is generous, isn’t it? It’s messy and unpredictable, but it’s also overflowing with gifts—gifts that come in the form of small moments, quiet revelations, and even the pauses that feel a little uncomfortable. Like the moon illuminating the darkest corners of our being, these moments remind us to look closer, to pay attention, and to embrace the beauty in the chaos.

​Speaking of embracing the chaos, I’ve been diving into some updates behind the scenes. My website is getting a much-needed refresh, reflecting the ever-evolving essence of who I am and the work I’m called to share. It’s been a labor of love—infusing it with magick, intention, and clarity. As part of this process, I’ve also decided to prioritize my blog. Writing has always been a way for me to connect with myself and with all of you, and I’m excited to make this space one where my thoughts, musings, and moments of magick can live freely.

So here I am, a little rusty but grateful. Grateful for the flow, for the pause, and for the opportunity to sit here, typing these words, knowing they’re a part of something bigger. A ripple in the infinite stream of connection and creation.

To anyone reading this, I hope you’ll give yourself permission to pause when you need it. To trust that even in the stillness, you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. And when you’re ready, the flow will always be there, waiting to carry you forward.

Until next time, dare to do the big and little things...
Love, love, LOVE!

<![CDATA[Under The Strawberry Moon]]>Tue, 21 Jun 2016 05:23:35 GMThttps://luxunis.com/blog/under-the-strawberry-moon
​I can honestly say that I don't always resonate with the full moon energy. In fact, I'll even say that most of the time, I don't. I usually feel tired, more than agitated and definitely moody. Instead of the howling wolf, I think I become more of the "werewolf"... not fun. But there are those rare occasions where I feel fully alive, magnetized and excited for the full moon.

​Today, was one of those times. Maybe because it was a full moon that happened to fall on the Summer Solstice... I have a very strong feeling that was a HUGE part of it. Regardless of the "why", today was an exceptionally magickal day for me. 

I felt a stirring... a calling if you will, to create some magick. To connect and really tune into aspects and messages from my inner Goddess that I was missing. So I tuned in. I got a lot. A whole lot. It was a little shadowy, it was a little more than uncomfortable but the energies were ripe under this moon to fully see those parts of me... To really have them illuminated to see without fear or judgement. I saw some raw parts in me that needed some love. I saw that there were places in me that needed some tending to. And it happened because I decided to pay attention. I mean, really pay attention.

And so I saw these parts in all of the raw and unloved state. And with all the love and acceptance I could muster... I scooped them up and allowed them to be not only placed under the moon in all of Her glory but to be dissolved in the sweetness of Her light.

I cried with the full understanding that no matter how far it is I feel I have gone, or how many tears I may shed over bits of moments like this, where self discovery can be a bit uncomfortable; it is sweet. It is sweet because I know that I have looked at, acknowledged and cared about a part of me that was hidden.

​I gave it permission to come out and fully be illuminated. Transformed, by the light of Her moon. 

It is generous, this life...
This magick.

I love it all.

<![CDATA[Mysterious Ways]]>Wed, 12 Aug 2015 05:18:42 GMThttps://luxunis.com/blog/mysterious-waysPicture
It's interesting how Goddess has been working in my life lately. I have been invited to frequently pause and "check in". My life has been on a plane of "to dos" lately and I can easily get caught up in the mundane and often necessary tasks of the world. 


As we all must traverse on this plane of existence and our never ending "to dos", I'd like to think that I am still aware of the "more" around me. 


There is more than what we see around us. It is that place where you see or feel something that cannot be explained. Or you just "know" something is about to happen but you can't explain what... 


Well, that sort of living is what I'd like to think I'm pretty well versed at. And for the most part, I am. (most humbly stated... for the record) :)


But there are also those times when the mundane can take hold of me and sail me away across the abyss of the human construct. 


Where I worry about what to worry about next... 


Where the old stories love to creep back into my mind and try to attach to current situations, 


Or...


Where I am just too busy with family and friends to stop and check in to the true knowing part of me. The part that transcends the mundane and loves to look past the illusion. 


So as I have been going, going, going. I have noticed something...


Things tend to get a little quiet. Sort of like talking on the phone and the other end of the line goes quiet and you think the call dropped? You know that sort of quiet? 


It makes you panic for a quick sec and say, "Hello? Hello?" 


Well that's what's been happening in my world. Goddess has been training me that when all goes "Quiet", I need to stop and check in. Did the call drop? Am I even connected? More importantly... 


Am I even listening?


And that's the point. Am I even listening. 


Goddess works in the most delightful, mysterious ways in my life. And just as She does Her part... so must I. 


I must always ensure that I am taking a moment to say, "hello". The great things is though...


She always answers

In Her service, 
With so much love, 

Shakti

<![CDATA[The Magick Behind "Illumination"]]>Wed, 22 Jul 2015 21:57:40 GMThttps://luxunis.com/blog/the-magick-behind-illuminationHello Beautiful People!!
I have some exciting news to share. It has been all over my Facebook page and other social medias. I am releasing my new meditation, "Illumination" on July 31, 2015.

There is a story behind this work and how this came to be. It's very special to my heart and such a strong testament as to how the Divine works in our lives. 
I share this video with you with lots of love.

<![CDATA[Goddess Answers]]>Tue, 10 Mar 2015 00:33:34 GMThttps://luxunis.com/blog/goddess-answersPicture
For a little bit of time now, I have been asking Goddess to show me my highest path, my highest course of action to take with my Life Work. I have meditated, journaled, gone "within" and even though I felt like I received answers, it wasn't the "Fullness" of what I was seeking. I wanted to be "Told" what it was that I was supposed to do with my life work. I should know by now that Goddess does NOT work that way. 

Goddess will leave you clues, inspiration, insights, self discoveries and plenty of a-ha moments, but the real understanding comes when you piece it all together. YOU have to be the one to do the work because it is only then that you really "get-it". And as much as I would love to believe that I was listening, I didn't really get it... until recently.

Have you ever felt called to do something, get a HUGE insight about it, only to skirt around and find something else to do with your time? I call those "delightful distractors". I can come up with so many things to be distracted about... and I was doing just that! I found all sorts of things to keep me busy.

But here's the real truth... I was scared to own all of my power... all of what I know has been calling my soul. It seemed so profoundly HUGE, that I didn't feel up to the task. And truth be told, I was scared. I was triggered. I felt overwhelmed. So, I did what I knew best... I found something else to do... I found another "delightful distractor" to occupy my time. But no matter how hard I tried, the nudging and stirrings of my soul would not leave me alone. 

I am so glad that it didn't. 

This is my work. 
The work is my joy.
My joy is my purpose. 
My purpose is the song of my heart. 
It is the song of my soul.

I am in deepest appreciation to Goddess for allowing me this time to grow and really see. 
What is to come? Only Goddess truly knows the fulness of it. 
I believe I am ready. 
But only Goddess really knows if I am.
I am Hers in service to the Divine...
And I am splendidly happy.

So much love, 
Shakti
