How are you holding up lately? With sincerity, I hope that you are healthy, occasionally seeing friends and family in person, and able to pull off most of the tasks at work and home that are required of you. I (Sarah here) feel like I am riding the wave of stop and go with some finesse. I can never know when my child might be home for a surprise week off of school which can cause me to cancel all of my work. When we drop back into the rhythm of school, I witness a lack of “get ‘er done abilities” and make poor use of the window of “free” time. I am full of good intentions to accomplish my long list of tasks, but overwhelm and ADD kick in and I basically walk in circles. I feel like I might not be alone in this, so I will share what helps me to not feel like I am letting down my team in the other realms.

One of the amazing gifts of tending to the Dagara lineage is that its tools and listening technologies are allowing our community to tap into the wisdom of this land that we live on. This land in California is vastly different from Africa, so it would make sense that a new language might develop along with some different shrines to the beings of this land. We have been nudged, ever onward by our guides to begin the journey of connecting to a spirit elder of the First people of the land here.

Have you wondered what it might be like to talk to a tree, or a waterway and have it talk back. There is a pretty good chance that if you frequently visit nature, that an ally in the outdoors might be trying to get you to notice it. Here are some common signs that you are getting a nudge from spirit.

How is your sensitive nature faring today?
It is of the utmost importance that we learn to nurture not just our physical body, but our energetic body too. The news, the countless wireless systems, and the fear about the degradation of the environment can greatly wear on our energy fields. The Strega Tree Collective recently completed 9 divinations that tapped in to the wisdom of the Elemental Beings on how to strengthen the membranes of the human body. These barriers protect and sustain the systems of the body so that they can function optimally despite our daily stress. We have been asked to share with you a simple technique to shield our defense system and our purpose.
