4/19/26  Weekly Plans & Questions

On Youtube this week part two of the hot springs trip will be coming out. I visit the City of Rocks in this video and film a fun yoga class there as well amongst the boulders.

I have finally got my website up and running, whorledleaf.com. For the moment, it contains a weekly blog and several coaching packages if you’d like to work directly with me. Spiritual coaching, to create magick in your life through eliminating what blocks you through identity shifting practices, dream work, and tarot. I am also offering yoga coaching if you are looking to take your personal practice deeper.

I am a little behind on Patreon this week as I really wanted to get the website up and running. So, today once our Sunday topic is done I’ll be filming the dream work for the week which is on who we are in our dreams and how we can use that information to learn more about who we are in waking life. I will table the dramatic suit of swords talk for this coming week. 

The dream series this week will be on Lucid dreaming and tips on how to become conscious in your dreams

Also this week on Patreon a yoga class or two with a focus on wrist health. One class I am going to do wrist free ( so no weight on the hands, an interesting challenge for sure lol) Then a mini hands and wrist yoga therapy. 

I am still waiting on my goat Iris to kid. I am pretty sure it will be this week. I almost thought yesterday, so probably over the next couple of days. Next week I will be getting back out for BTS adventures, one more week at home while I deal with Goats and births.

Onward with the Questions received this week- Dreams, masculine and feminine, and noticing imbalances Related to PIES Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Spiritual

1) Have you ever had a false memory in a dream that involved familiar people, places, or routines from everyday life?

 The lawless quality of dreams almost makes this question a sure thing. However in the dream you don’t  usually realize that it's not true. It's only upon waking that you can sense the oddness of it. I find the stranger the dream is to the laws of conscious reality the harder it is to stay grasped onto for journaling. It all made perfect sense in sleep but the more I wake up the strangeness of it all, and a lack of being able to describe the unreal quality fades the dream more quickly then if a dream follows a “realistic” script.  I often work for people I don’t work for, take transportation that wouldn't exist in waking life (riding on cats) (cars that drive themselves) (flying). I also live in places I don’t live and have relationships with people I never would. Sometimes the people I know in my dreams act completely different than in waking life.  If I do realize the incongruent nature of things it almost brings me to lucid dreaming becoming aware that I am dreaming. The other night I was escaping an attack with a wanted man in a complex mall. We  rode a cat over the walls. You think the cat would be large but it was normal sized. We had to stop and let the cat recharge because the weight of both of us was too much, and we were having grenades and fire bombs thrown at us. So we landed on top of a building where another cat appeared to help the man, but we couldn’t take off right away, but we were both going to be able to ride our own cat out of there.

2) Do you think yoga and spiritual practice can express a kind of maternal or nurturing energy, even in women who are not mothers in the traditional sense? And when you reflect on your childhood, do you think that instinct to care, protect, or hold space was already part of who you were?

I don’t think my yoga or spiritual practice has made me more maternal or nurturing. The practice for me has opened up the idea of balance. Balance of both sides of the coin, or the yin and the yang. Masculine and Feminine. I have more patience and understanding when I practice regularly. To me though the whole concept of uniting these forces into a balanced whole is the whole point of the practice. So whatever you are lacking in yourself and we all have masculine and feminine properties you might become aware of the imbalance and then know how to start to tip the scales to reflect a more balanced state but I don’t think if you start doing yoga you are all of the sudden go to be this nurturing individual. I have always seemed to have a strong care for animals. I want to protect the broken but I wouldn’t say that I am all that nurturing of people. I just treat people how I would want to be treated and everyone is equal to that treatment in my book. 

3) I watched your video from two years ago, Time Scarcity, and I really liked how honestly you reflected on your struggles with negative self-talk and the imbalance it created in your life. Looking back, when you realized you had been neglecting certain parts of yourself, especially the spiritual and intellectual sides, what did that imbalance actually feel like for you? And how did that realization begin to change the way you related to yourself, your practice, and even the way you nurture the things around you?

 In regards to PIES  (Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and spiritual) a great way to assess your world for imbalances.  Spiritual imbalances begin to feel like I am carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders. Like I have all this control and the world and my life are falling apart. Surrendering back to a higher power and purpose allows me to drop the burden and let go of things I can’t control and just focus on doing the best I can. Intellectual imbalances can feel like a lake of inspiration or new ideas. If I haven’t been exposing myself to new thoughts and material things start to feel like they stagnate, and I start running on a loop. Physical imbalance is easy- got to keep those energy channels moving freely and to support all the ideas, emotions, and inspiration. Emotional imbalances for me feel like outbursts, strong ups and downs, getting stuck in a feeling . The best medicine I have found for emotional imbalance is exercise, meditation, and to stop whatever thoughts are contributing to the emotion and focus on the present moment instead.
