It has been many moons since I have shared a Thought Bath, and I am deeply happy with this one. It was a gift to experience its creation, and it is a gift to be able to share it.
A few weeks ago I was going through a bumpy time where I lost my sense of center and had a few days of getting back to myself. One day I drove by myself to the coast to a favorite place to hike, and listened to all my Thought Baths. As I went from Ease, to Connection, to Self-Acceptance, to Creation, the resistance I was holding dissolved into remembering and then knowing. I listed to Self-Acceptance and Creation twice over, because the sense of epiphany was so profound for me. If you haven’t listened to the other Thought Baths, I encourage you to. And I encourage you to share them with anyone else who you think might benefit.
Thought Baths are meant to be listened to ~ they are a soundscape for vibrational tuning, original compositions of music and words. That said, if you prefer to read the Thought Bath, the written text can be found at the bottom of this page.

Eclipse Season + Equinox Downbeat
This upcoming Tuesday the 17th, we are entering into our second and final eclipse season of 2024 beginning with the Pisces Full Moon Eclipse. Five days later on the 22nd we are crossing through the Equinox solar downbeat. While these patterns are absolutely natural to life on planet earth, they are also profound portals through which we have the opportunity to cocreate our evolution and expansion. Bringing focus to the cycles and seasons of the larger terrestrial body is a way of reclaiming more of our wholeness. If you have enjoyed my solar and lunar downloads in the past, I encourage you to join the membership portal. Articles, like the one feature below, are available for monthly, annual, and Essential subscribers.
The membership portal is also the place where I find it easy to write and share when a wild slipstream piece hasn’t come through yet. If you are interested in a more personal conversation, or would like to hear more about my cocreative work with nature - I welcome you to join me there.

I will be shipping out the fall equinox vibrational essence for Essential Subscribers this next week (9/16/24). If you have been considering upgrading your subscription, now is a beautiful time to do so. The Essential Subscription is $122/year and includes two vibrational essences from my Luminous Earth collection, shipped during the equinox portals (USA only).
SpinyStar Cactus Flower
Radiant Authenticity
Latin Name: Pelecyphora vivipara Astrological Influence: Libra Full Moon Elemental Dominance: Air Secondary Elements: Water, Earth Essence Category: Enhancing Alignment Medicine Land: Red Rock Secret Wilderness ~ Sedona, AZ Profile: Also known as viviparous foxtail cactus, pincushion cactus and ball cactus, spinystar is a small, low-growing cactus native to North America. While easy to overlook most of the year due to its tiny stature, spinystar is impossible to miss during its flowering. Incredibly bright, glowing pink (and sometimes purple) flowers emanate and beckon - broadcasting their presence and energy expressively into the surrounding atmosphere. This Spinystar essence bears the signature of Outer Air - the elemental correlation that encompasses our ability to stand in our personal truth while connecting, communicating, and expressing ourselves coherently within the realm of our external relationships. This correlation is informed and amplified by the astrological influence of the Libra Full Moon under which the essence was cocreated. Libra governs the dynamic balance between self and other, and is the first terrestrial elemental season of fall, beginning at the fall equinox for the northern hemisphere. Each essence I cocreate and work with falls within one of three main categories: releasing resistance, enhancing alignment, or expanding consciousness. I have observed and created these categories after years of kinesiological testing with myself and others, and experiencing the effects of the essences themselves. When an essence, such as Spinystar, falls into the enhancing alignment category, I know that its primary action is to help us amplify mental/emotional patterns that are already working for us. Essences that fall into this category invite our electrical system into familiar patterning that is soothing, nourishing, and comfortable. As Spinystar carries the Outer Air correlation, this essence is ideal for supporting the cultivation of aligned patterning related to speaking, non-verbal expression, and the connection between the heart-field and the electromagnetic field of the throat + thyroid.

Thank you for writing and sharing this Emma. Like Neil, I really enjoyed your poem—particularly the stanza about reasons one’s dreams might not happen.
“Either I am blocking them with doubt
Or the time is not ripe
Or there is something better in store
I cannot see from this angle
I have to live life, walk the spiral path”
That idea of a spiral path is apt—it isn’t just point a to b, it goes indirectly and we have to trust it. A lack of trust makes us block with doubt. What I took away from this, and pardon me if I’m misinterpreting, is to trust the spiral—the time it takes to travel in a spiral allows things to ripen, allows the right things to arise. Thank you again for writing.
I really enjoyed this poem, Emma. I like these lines especially:
"The truth of our mind
Is that through it we create our own destiny"
This really resonates with me. I like that aspect of the truth of our mind and creating.
