What is Sacred Self-Leadership?

Adora Winquist March 24, 2024

What comes to mind when you hear the term “sacred self-leadership”? Often, we consider leadership as a structured term along a scale of authority. It may be a top-ranking general for military operations or the boardroom hierarchy of business organizations like Oprah Winfrey. There are also leaders like Tony Robbins that are inspirational in nature offering innovative ways of thinking, behaving and reaching …

A Modern Alchemy Ritual for Spring Equinox

Adora Winquist March 19, 2024

The brightness of Spring. The reawakening of life. Not only does the earth come alive again in the northern hemisphere, but so do we. The Spring Equinox is a time of new beginnings, the renewing of hope for the future and the vibrancy of our present. Spring is a time for planting seeds of intention. Fresh, clean energy within and all around us invites the clarity for our soul’s desires to surface with new and wholesome perspectives.

The Alchemy of Salt

Adora Winquist December 29, 2023

Salt is used to cleanse and purify a home, office or other personal space of stagnant or unwanted energy. The energy of your environment has a direct impact on your mood, mental clarity, and overall sense of inspiration and harmony in your life. Salt was once traded by weight for gold. Ancient traditions used it for food preservation, mummification, to treat illness, and maintain the body's biochemistry.

Fall Equinox

Adora Winquist September 3, 2023

The Fall Equinox marks a rare intersection of the Sun and the celestial realms creating a potent planetary alignment, heightening the alchemical frequencies for intentional creation. From a seasonal perspective, this is a time of harvest. We reap the great bounty of our gardens of plenty: Both physically for those of us that cultivate home gardens as well as metaphorically.

Welcome Summer Solstice

Adora Winquist June 16, 2023

This is a time to raise energy, to honor the light within you, to expand it and align with the wisdom of nature and intelligence. Working with essential oils of rose, neroli, jasmine, cinnamon, carrot seed, and frankincense this time of year helps us to expand the brilliance of our light, which is the unique qualities within us, and to focus our intentions personally, as well as globally in sacred space.

Neroli to Awaken the Mystical Heart blog banner

Neroli to Awaken the Mystical Heart

Adora Winquist March 3, 2023

Neroli’s bright aroma lifts the spirit and speaks to the remembrance of joy and lightheartedness. Neroli is highly beneficial for those who tend to be harsh and critical of themselves and can assist in shifting this energy to that of self-love and compassion. This oil assists in dissolving extreme emotions like jealousy, anger, and self-hatred. It aids in settling shock and counterbalancing PTSD.

Realistic New Year's Resolutions

Adora Winquist February 4, 2023

To feel better, we need to revolutionize how we view our practices on self-care and self-love. I believe that all change first starts with an invitation. What do you want to invite in for your greater holistic health and wellbeing in this moment as well as this year? Start general. That way, neither the body or mind can put up a wall of resistance to change, which is sometimes a natural psychological response.

How to Maintain Sacred Relationships

Adora Winquist January 3, 2023

After spending time with family, friends, or enjoying peaceful solitude over the holidays, it's an inspiring time to reflect on relationships. Sacred relationships. Also, because I’m leading a retreat in late January, I’m spending the next few weeks writing and reflecting on the value each person plays in a relationship. Today, I want to focus on sacred relationships and partnerships. To me, that means unity for longevity.

The Pen of Liberation

Adora Winquist November 18, 2022

Once I've shifted my perspective, I know I can have a different response. I know I can have a different reaction—my reaction to all of the world of transformation. My reaction to the situation around me and how it has changed indicates my transformational journey. The more I become aware of my reaction and response, the more I can harness the power within me to modulate it in ways that honor and hold compassion, forgiveness, understanding, and love for every step along my journey.

Making Room for Greatness in Your Life

Adora Winquist November 4, 2022

What do you think of when you hear the word great? Is your first impression positive as It’s a great day, filled with benevolence? Do you sense the greatness of who you are and the magnificence of who you are becoming? Or do you think and feel first of the great chaos in the world, in your life, or the great to-do list on your fridge or desk?

SOS: The Adora Frequency: Open

Adora Winquist October 9, 2022

I thought I would share a little story with you that is germane to the Adora Frequency and how it relates to me as an individual, as well as the Brennan school. For those of you that have gone through the program, you know we go into the depth of our core wounding in the first year. In the very first experience, we were brought back into the state of infancy and core wounding of the schizoid characterology, which was quite a surprise.

My Journey to Sourcing the Purest Aromatics

Adora Winquist October 7, 2022

I began my study of medicinal plants and esoteric philosophy at the age of 18 after having a mystical awakening with a local shaman in the foothills of Northern California. As someone who always felt the most at home in nature, I began to hear the flowers and trees communicating with me in new ways. The study of vibrations and healing properties of scents, sounds and colors continued to draw me deeper into this mystical realm.

SOS: High Vibrational Chakra Upgrade: Seeing Beyond the Illusion

Adora Winquist July 21, 2022

Welcome to the Seeds of the Spirit High Vibrational Chakra Upgrade Series. Our meditation journey today is on the third eye to see beyond the veil illusion and the collusion.

Often we do not make the connection of collusion being part of our family dynamics or early childhood constellations, but whenever there's a sense of collusion, either between one parent, another sibling, or even ourselves when we were younger and we allied with one parent over another, it always creates a split.
