HHH :: SPECIAL EDITION!

HAPPY HOUR HEALING FOR THE GRAND CARDINAL CROSS

If you're anything like us, you've been feeling the energies really RAMP UP in the last couple weeks and this week marks the pinnacle of the Grand Cardinal Cross vibes that have been pushing our limits.

That's why we are bringing in TWO MORE priestesses to hold down the four directions and assist you with any relaxation, release, guidance, clearing, or energizing you may require. We are ALL being asked to step up and play a bigger game. The revolutionary seed that was planted in the 60's with the Pluto-Uranus conjunction is pushing to BURST THROUGH the soil as we are now in the cycle where the first square is being formed! Expect to be a revolutionary!

And we know from personal experience, being a revolutionary can sometimes require assistance, retreat & renewal, so that we can replenish the well of energy that feeds our work. That energy is love. And we are here to remind you it is INFINITE.

So, come on down for some reminders, some relaxation, and some sweet community in honor of this momentous Grand Cardinal Cross. We will be feeling these energies in our collective through at least next year, but the consequences of our thoughts and feelings, and the energy, space, and consciousness we BE at this time will be felt for many years to come. Let's make it awesome!


THIS WEEK'S SPECIAL LINE-UP:

- REPRESENTING AIR: Erin Leckenby of Healing Magic of the Future, offering tarot tools life coaching to empower your knowingness.

- REPRESENTING FIRE: Tatiana Sakurai, Resident Priestess of Canopy, offering energy work to transmute that which no longer serves you.

- REPRESENTING WATER: Becca Ellis of Flower of Life Massage, offering magical massage to bring you back to a place of flow.

- REPRESENTING EARTH: Amy Terepka of Groundwater Traditional Healing Arts, offering plant medicine in the wellness bar to nourish your body temple.

FEBRUARY SPECIAL:

TAKE TIME TO DREAM A NEW YOU!


Whoo-weee!  It has been an INTERESTING week!

Some curious beings and energies have been showing up on my radar, there's been a lot of intense emotions flowing, and Portland, the beautiful town I live in, has been covered in snow and ice, slowing or halting travel, all in time with Mercury going retrograde on Thursday!  As I was enjoying an extended visit with out-of-town guests who were snow-bound and stranded, I started musing on what was being activated in the collective consciousness.  I remembered this piece I read by Emily Trinkaus at Virgo Magic:

"This Retrograde wants you to re-imagine your dream for the future; reconnect with the psychic, mystical, magical, all-knowing part of yourself; replenish your well of inspiration; and regenerate your faith in humanity. This is a time for dissolving old perceptions and perspectives, freeing your mind from illusions that block you from living your truth, from bringing forth your genius and sharing your gifts with the world."

And I started to open to and KNOW how I could be of service!  It is my calling and joy to assist my clients and empower my students with the tools that clear blocks to the expression of their most expansive and empowered selves, including: releasing old programs, beliefs and patterns, clearing energies from all lives and time/spaces that no longer serve, multi-dimensional depossessions, soul/self/life force energy retrievals, and downloading and integrating programs and frequencies from Source consciousness! 

So, how cool is it that I have the tools that can assist with exactly the kind of spiritual work supported by the cosmos at this time?!

Are you ready to free your mind from the illusions that block you from living your truth?

Are you ready to bring forth your genius and share your gifts with the world?

In honor and celebration of the powerful astrology of the new lunar year, Venus direct, and Mercury retrograde, AND to support you in the journey to YOUR truth, YOUR power, and YOUR joy, I am happy to announce my latest special offering:

DREAMING A NEW YOU!

From now through the end of February, when you purchase this limited time package deal, you get:

• One 2-hour private session of counselling and energy work 
• Three 90 minute private sessions of energy work
• The complete Land-Clearing Ceremonies
• Availability for in-person, or remote via phone or video call sessions
• A total value of $521 for only $333!

What if you could start stepping into your truth and power NOW, and be ready to hit the ground running when the divine timing of the cosmos is in alignment?

Now is the perfect time to get really clear about who you are, and what your vision is!  That's why I am including the beautiful, highly effective, and permanent Land-Clearing Ceremonies as part of the package, so that not only will you have clarity in your self, but also in your surroundings, so that your home can be a healing sanctuary and a contribution to you in your journey.

The regular price for just the private sessions would be over $400, so it's like getting a great discount on sessions, PLUS the Land-Clearing for free!

Please take a moment to check in with yourself and feel if this would be a contribution to you.  If so, call me for a consultation at 503-548-7691.

Another cool thing:  Although this special DREAM PACKAGE offer will expire on February 28th, you can book the sessions included with your package until the end of March!

This deadline ensures you have plenty of time to schedule, balanced with the importance of having regular and frequent appointments to keep the momentum going!  I highly recommend starting as soon as possible to best take advantage of the planetary influences, but of course, think it through!  (I'm winking at you, Mercury!)

If you're ready to use Mercury retrograde to your best advantage, and ready to say YES to living your truth and your vision, email me at love@tatianasakurai.com for a consultation and to get your DREAMING A NEW YOU PACKAGE for the magical price of $333!

I look forward to witnessing your dreams, visions, and expansion into your most creative and joyful self ever!

In Gratitude & Service,

Tatiana

JANUARY SPECIAL:

30 DAYS OF TRANSFORMATION:  

I'm really excited about this!  I designed this amazing package for in-person clients with the New Year in mind!  If you're really ready to invest in yourself and the change you want to be, I highly recommend this package!

You get:
- an hour intro/counselling session 
- 4 weekly hour-long sessions
- 4 weekly 1/2 hour remote tune-ups between sessions
- 4 weekly drop-in passes to the Clear & Grounded circle
- a total value of $500 (at the 2013 rate)!

All this can be yours for the special New Year price of only $300!  That's a huge savings!  

I really want to help you start shifting out-moded patterns NOW, so this offer is only available through the end of January!  Let's DO THIS!

Are you willing to spend $10 a day to activate your magic?  You probably spend more than that on coffee or parking!  By spending money (one of the most potent energetic tools in the world right now) for your self-development, you create an energetic activation that ripples out into the universe and starts the process of transformation.  


When you commit yourself this way, trust me, things will shift.  Big time.

INTRODUCING: LIGHTWORKER TRAINING!

Recently, I received an awareness that I was being called to explore a possibility of a structured way to teach what it is I do, which as you may know, is a mash-up of several different modalities that I have studied.  That day despite my inner rebel's resistance to structure, I picked up a notebook and the syllabus for the course just poured out of me...in about ten minutes...in perfect order...all five levels.  And I thought to myself, "Okay!  I guess this is happening now!"

So, starting just after Lunar New Year 2014, I will be offering this training, level by level, for those who feel called to the work and I'm so excited to share these powerful tools with you!

Here's what's in store:

LIGHTWORKER TRAINING ::  LEVEL1 :: WHITE LIGHT

In this 6-week course, you will learn what I consider the basics, which in some modalitites are taught as separate or advanced classes.  You will get all the tools you need to work with white light in performing simple healing for yourself or others, including:  invocation, journeying, cutting cords, sensing different energies, aura and chakra clearing, energetic hygiene, and channeling energy with intention.  Classes are participatory.  You will learn by doing, with me there to guide and assist you every step of the way.

Registration is required.  Class size is limited to 8 people maximum to ensure lots of guidance and time with me.  For the tuition fee, students receive instruction in 6 two-hour classes that meet weekly, a private one-on-one mentoring session with me, access to student practicum hours at the wellness studio, and discounts on other services.

The sky is the limit on what you could pay for this kind of training in an intimate group with lots of interaction with your teacher, plus one-on-one private mentoring, but it is my wish to make this work as easy and accessible as possible.  Therefore, I am offering Level One :: White Light (a $450 value) available for a special introductory rate of $337!  That's 25% off the regular tuition rate!  AND, if you act quickly, you can save even more!  Register by January 12th and receive this amazing training and support for only $225!  That's 50% off the regular rate, a little extra incentive for you early birds!

You can find expanded course info on the Lightworker Training page here.

If this sounds like it might be for you, I'd love to gift you a free consultation.  Please email me at love@tatianasakurai.com

I look forward to sharing my work with you!

Thanks & Blessings,
Tatiana

COMFORT & JOY

Hello Beloveds!

Wow, the energies have been really intense lately!  I have an awareness that we, as a collective consciousness, are on the verge of another upgrade, activating on Winter Solstice.  As more light information and higher frequencies are anchored to the world grid through the points of light consciousness we be, it is required that more third density baggage be cleared to make space for the new.  What this means is more intense spiritual clearings, and more awareness coming through.

Spiritual clearings can take the form of physical illness, emotional meltdowns, intellectual confusion, spiritual crisis, loss of home, job, or relationship, or even leaving the physical body.  There is no judgement of the form it takes.  The soul seeks to learn and grow, freeing itself from the binds of lower vibrational frequencies.

As the denser layers are shed--as we have been doing all throughout this year of the Snake--our increased spaciousness allows for more information, more consciousness, more awareness to be received.  The increased awareness is not always comfortable.  Especially in the presence of a lack of allowance.

It is my deepest wish for you to experience this time of renewed shift, during the Dark and Holy Days, with infinite Grace and Ease.  I know I can help release some of the energetic heaviness that you have been picking up on lately, and I want to help, so that's why I am offering you this Solstice gift of 1/3 off my services...

COMFORT & JOY:

From now until Winter Solstice, when you purchase a one-hour private session with me, you will also receive a bonus half-hour remote tune-up session at no extra charge.  That's a $90 value for $60!

Or, save even more money by buying 2 one-hour sessions with me, for a reduced rate, AND receive a bonus half-hour remote tune-up as well!  That's a $150 value for only $100!

I really want to help you bust through the holiday blues, so although you must act before Solstice to get these great deals, you may book appointments up until January 8th.  If you even THINK you might be feeling low between now and then, I encourage you to buy a session or two now, as you can use them until the 8th.

(Also, my rates are set to increase a bit in the New Year, so this is a great time to get in on not only 2013 prices, but 2013 prices on sale!)

This deal is for any client, new or returning, in-person or remote.  This deal is for anyone desiring more ease, more grace, more comfort and joy!

Call or text me now to get in on this deal, as appointments and time is limited.  Mention Comfort & Joy to receive these special 1/3 off pricing.  Email me at love@tatianasakurai.com and let me know how I can help you!  It is my deepest honor to hold this loving space for you.

Many Bright Blessings,
Tatiana

SELF-CARE TIPS:

This has been coming through so strongly for me that I have been telling all my clients and friends and now I'm posting here.  It may seem painfully obvious, but the most basic things are CRUCIAL now as we are downloading more energy than ever before.  Not caring for ourselves in the most meticulous way possible can lead to major flu symptoms or extreme mental stress as a result of all the spiritual clearing we are ALL doing--whether you think you are or not!

So, here is my loving reminder to you, dear ones:

-DRINK WATER...like, a LOT of water.  The very minimum amount is the number of your weight in pounds, divided by two, equals the amount in ounces you must drink to maintain BASIC level hydration.  If you are working out, getting body work, getting sick, or doing spiritual clearing, then the amount increases from there.  Seriously, if you do this, you won't get sick!

-GET MINERALIZED...that might not be a real word, but do it anyway!  We are very rarely able to get enough from our diets and it's critical now to be hydrated and have the proper minerals on board so as to be clear and efficient conduits of all the voltage moving through our bodies.  We don't want that electricity to have a bumpy ride through our system, we want to ground it down smoothly and easily, right?  I recommend taking a food-based supplement, like a green powder, or fulvic/humic acid, or liquid minerals in water every day.

-SLEEP...more than you think you need to.  Trust that you are evolving and that requires plenty of rest.  Add an extra hour or two a night on to what you normally sleep and see if you feel better.  Perhaps you're a nap person.  Whatever works for you.  Just make sure you have plenty of time to sleep, rest, and have some unstructured time to just space out or play.  Think about how much kids sleep because they are growing so much.  We are growing a lot now.  Powering through doesn't work any more.  Honor your need for sleep.

-BATHE...more than you may think necessary, maybe.  A salt bath is especially helpful.  Try epsom salts mixed with sea salt and don't be afraid to put a lot in.  You'll get the bonus of cleansing, hydrating AND mineralizing all in one!  Only stay in the salt bath for 15-20 minutes as after that, it ceases to be useful and is actually kinda gross.  For a longer soak just go for a regular ol' bath, or go to the hot springs!  We are blessed in Oregon with some wonderful natural hot springs.  If you don't have a tub, you can scrub with salt in the shower.  It can be a little intense on the skin, so go easy on the tender spots.  As we clear more and more third density baggage, we will need to keep sweeping it out of our fields and flushing it out.  Taking a bath or shower is an easy way to clear on the energetic level as well as physical.

I know that this all seems obvious, but please notice!  Are you really taking care of the basics?  It's not optional.  Trust that it is of the utmost importance right now to do the simple things with impeccable care and diligence.

Here's to your radiant health and evolution!

Love,
Tatiana

Self-Care Tool: Clearing & Grounding

 

Energetic Spring Cleaning!

Now that we've moved into some planetary alignments that are stirring up the energy, it's a great time to get clear and grounded.

Here are a couple simple tools from my energy work toolbox that you can play with and see they help you feel lighter, find more clarity, and stay grounded.

Create a Grounding Cord

Take a moment to close your eyes, bring your attention inward, and connect with your body by taking a few cleansing, expansive, and mindful breaths.

Next, bring your awareness to the base of the spine.  Breathe into it...and as you breathe, imagine a big taproot or cord of light starting from this area and going down, down, down...through the floor, through the building, and down into the earth.

With every breath, send it deeper...til you reach the center of the earth.

Once you reach the center, draw the earth energy up, up, up your grounding cord, making your cord bigger, juicier, more radiant, and powerful...all the way up to the base of your spine.

Allow the energy to radiate through every cell of your body...and enjoy your connection to Mother Earth.

With your intention, you can keep this energetic cord grounding you all throughout the day.

If you start to feel agitated, spacey, or tired, remember your grounding cord.  Just focusing on it again for a moment will strengthen the connection again.

You can even make the command, "Grounding cord activate"  or "Grounding cord bigger"

Once you have established the grounding cord, you can stop there, or for a simple clearing technique, you can continue to run the energy to further clear your major energy centers and field.


Running Energy

After creating your radiant, light-filled grounding cord, imagine this energy lighting up the energy center at the base of the spine as a brilliant sphere of golden light.  The beautiful golden light is cleansing all negative energy from this center.

Next, keep the first ball of light going as you draw the energy up the spine to the energy center at your navel, creating another beautiful ball of light, cleansing the second center, front and back of the spine.

Continue up the spine to the third center at the solar plexus, lighting it up and cleansing it with the golden light, shining it out from a sphere centered at the spine.  Feel it cleansing all negative emotions, making it easier to breathe.

Next comes the heart center, cleansed in the golden light.  Enjoy the feeling of your radiant heart, shining out in all directions, 360 degrees.

Keep going up the spine to the throat center, lighting it up and clearing all negative energies with the radiant golden light.

Next comes the center at the third eye, in the center of the head.  Light up this center with the golden energy, clearing all energetic congestion and cleansing it completely...lighting up your whole brain.  Creating clarity and ease in the mental center.

Continue up to the 7th center, at the crown of the head.  Create a radiantly beautiful sphere at the top of the head, shining out in all directions,  clearing the channel to your knowing, and your connection to universal Source consciousness.

Let the crown grow bigger and brighter...and then, finally, allow the light to spill out from the crown in a sparkling shower of golden light all around you.  As the light showers down, it cleanses all energetic congestion and negativity in your field.   It cascades down into the earth, where Mother Earth transmutes the energy, turning it back into fresh, clean earth prana.

As with the grounding cord, you can, with the power of your intention, keep this energy running for as long as you like.

I invite you to play with these tools and see how they work for you!

Self-Care Tool: Salt Baths

Salt Baths for Sanity!

 

You know the feeling.  You were a little gung-ho in yoga class and now your muscles are aching.  You gave of yourself all day long and now you're tapped.  You had lunch with a friend who dumped a bunch of their emotions and now you feel like you may have brought some of them home.  We've all been there!

Whether you're feeling a little stiff physically or stifled psychically, one beautifully simple remedy is a salt bath.  Any kind of salt bath will help, but if you want to get scientific, here are some tips for more profound results:

• Experiment with blending sea salt, Epsom salts, and baking soda to cleanse, relax and alkalize.
• Go heavier on sea salt for energetic cleansing, and for extra clearing on the psychological level, add a few drops of lavender essential oil.
• For physical strain, go heavier on the Epsom salts and add a few drops of tea tree oil.
• Soak in the bath for about 15 -20 minutes, or however long feels appropriate to you.  After the cleansing happens, you're sitting there soaking in the stuff you released, so longer is not necessarily better.  Go with your intuition.
• You can say to yourself, "I now release all yucky energies that don't serve me into the salt solution."  Or something to that effect.

Here's why it works:  Water naturally absorbs energy, and salt is full of green prana that goes to work disintegrating that energy.  So the water pulls it out and the green energy chops it up.  Tea tree is also full of green prana.  The green ray is a very safe cleansing energy that works well on the physical level.  Lavender, as you may have guessed by now, is full of violet prana which is also cleansing but on the higher vibrational plane of the emotional level.  That is one of the reasons why lavender is so effective as a stress reducer!

I invite you to play with this tool and see if it helps you feel more grounded and clear.  We all can use a salt bath now and then, and if you are a practitioner, coach, therapist, or care-giver, I highly recommend salt baths or some other form of energy clearing on a regular basis as folks that are called to those lines of work are more likely to be picking up on other people's stuff.

If you'd like to learn more, stay tuned for more tips, or book an appointment to work with me!
