Dandelion Root Tea Benefits

Dandelion Root Tea Benefits Grounded Power for Mind, Body & Spirit Dandelion is more than a root. It’s a reminder. This bold, golden-rooted plant doesn’t ask for permission to thrive. It just does. It rises through cracks in the pavement, through forgotten corners of the Earth, and blooms anyway. That’s the frequency I tap into when I brew a cup of dandelion root tea. It speaks to the parts of me that feel ready to rise again. Every sip invites me back to myself. Not the surface version I show the world—but the deeper one. The one who remembers. The one who knows how to shed, how to ground, how to heal from the root up. I drink dandelion root tea with intention. I drink…

Petitioning the Divine

Petitioning the Divine A Living Practice of Sacred Communication I speak my desires into the unseen because I know I am heard. Petitioning is one of the ways I stay in dialogue with the Universe, with God, with my ancestors, with the unseen currents that guide and shape my life. It’s not begging. It’s not a ritual of desperation. It’s a declaration of truth, of longing, of trust. When I make a petition, I’m not just asking—I’m aligning. I’m choosing to believe in divine collaboration. I’m offering my desires with clarity and humility. I’m choosing to name what matters, and in doing so, I remind myself that I am not alone in this journey. This practice doesn’t belong to any one tradition. It lives in…

Unmasking Spiritual Malpractice

Unmasking Spiritual Malpractice The Dark Side of Spirituality Spirituality is sacred to me. It’s where I go to remember who I am, to reconnect with meaning, with Spirit, with peace. But I’ve learned that not everything wrapped in spiritual language is rooted in love or truth. Some teachings, some leaders, some communities—hide harm behind divinity. This is spiritual malpractice. And I speak on it because I’ve lived it. I once trusted a spiritual teacher who spoke the language of light—but moved through the world with deception, control, and coercion. At first, the wisdom felt powerful. I thought I had found someone who could see me. But over time, I realized I wasn’t being seen—I was being shaped into someone more manageable. More profitable. Easier to…
