Fresh from a 50-hour teacher training in Koh Phangan an island of contrasts, where sacred silence meets wild sound, I was reminded of this truth: The more light we invite in, the more darkness is revealed. Not because we’re broken or regressing, but because light doesn’t erase the shadows, it illuminates them. Through Kabbalah, Virgo energy, and yogic union, I’ve learned that healing is about embracing all parts of ourselves.

You don’t have to prove your pain to be believed. You don’t have to perform while healing. And you certainly don’t have to earn love, friendship, or respect by overriding your body’s needs. If someone only shows up when you’re strong and abandons you when you’re not, let them go. You are not difficult. You are not selfish. You are sacred. And your rest is not a weakness, it’s your right.

Nine months after my Saturn Return, I find myself softer, wiser, and more rooted in truth. I didn’t become someone new — I un-became everything I was not. Through grief, breath, and stillness, I returned to my essence. Gemini season now invites movement where Saturn once asked for stillness. In this sacred space between what was and what’s becoming, I stand — no longer chasing, simply aligning. Welcome to the quiet power of becoming.
