The Alchemy of Cinnamon

Adora Winquist January 29, 2025

Warming and stimulating aromatically, the medicine of cinnamon brings strength to the heart, the will, and the emotions. Ruled by the sun and the element of fire, cinnamon assists in restoring vital life force and passion for life and love. It is a renowned aphrodisiac and awakens or reinvigorates sexual fire between two people. It breathes spirit back into the body, the mind, and the soul.

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 …

Are You a Modern Alchemist?

Adora Winquist March 2, 2024

Traditional Alchemy is considered to focus on transmuting base metals to gold, but true alchemy is the process of finding the gold that is held inside all of your life’s experiences to date. The path of the modern alchemist is a quest to find the master keys to your most fulfilling and vibrant life. It is the hero or heroine’s journey that focuses on transforming the world within you.

6 Reasons Why a Retreat is Essential to YOU in 2024

Adora Winquist January 26, 2024

Welcome 2024, the year of the Dragon and the number 8, tapping into the infinite potential of your passion and sacred purpose. My motto for this year (and life) is Carpe Diem. We can seize both the day and this very moment. It is within this moment that a doorway of transformation, filled with potential opens and we can transform and uplift ourselves to new levels of joy, vibrancy and clarity, rising as the sacred self leader of our most abundant and authentic life.

The Alchemy of Palo Santo: Purification

Adora Winquist December 31, 2023

This South American “holy wood” produces an essential oil of a deep, earthly, and woodsy aroma, with such potent depth it easily transcends space and time. It has been used for centuries in the sacred purification and energy cleansing practice through burning of the wood to dissolve negative energies and limiting beliefs.

5 Ways to Manifest Self Love

Adora Winquist March 29, 2023

The aroma of spring is in the air. A hint of awakening daffodils, hyacinth, and a touch of warmth comes through the cool morning breeze. Spring is a time of new beginnings, hope for the future, and a fresh infusion of energy and lifeforce. To fully receive this renewed sense of vitality and clarity, we are called to let go of the old patterns that no longer serve us.

Blood Orange Mood Boost

Adora Winquist March 21, 2023

Blood orange is the quintessential aromatic of joie de vivre. Its citrusy smell lifts our mental outlook and emotional response to remind us of the joy of life. Invoke the bright, juicy aroma of blood orange to alleviate stress, enhance positive energy, and elicit feelings of delight.

What's Your Love Language?

Adora Winquist March 14, 2023

Does speaking the same language really mean we understand each other? We tend to believe that just because we speak the same language like English, Italian, French, or Spanish that we are on the same page. Yet, it is our emotional language that we communicate in our love relationships. When that differs, the stars stop aligning and conflict arises.

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.

The Benefits of Sound Therapy

Adora Winquist December 31, 2022

Since ancient times, we have been drawn to sound. Harmonious frequencies that come through music, tones, and various forms of sound therapy have a direct and immediate effect on our psyche and the harmony of our body, mind, and spirit. Quantum physics proves that everything in the universe is energy. All energy is in a state of constant vibration, oscillating at certain frequencies at the subatomic level.

5 Tips to Optimize Neuroplasticity

Adora Winquist December 8, 2022

Since the early explorations of phrenology, we have collectively sought to understand and improve brain function, particularly during the process of aging. Neuroplasticity explores the changes in the function and structure of the brain in relation to experience. Sometimes referred to as rewiring or repatterning, modern day research on neuroplasticity indicates a far greater potential for new neural connections and networks as well as improved learning, memory, and mood regulation.

The Invitation for Co-Creation

Adora Winquist October 27, 2022

There have been many times over the course of my journey where if I’m being honest with myself, didn't really know what I wanted out of my experience in this life. I may have had a few goals or desires which would drive my daily actions, but looking at it from a big-picture perspective, my intentions for my own path of self-mastery were somewhat vague.

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.
