Beyond the Backspin

Beyond the Backspin Reclaiming the Power of Retrogrades Retrogrades are not detours. They are directional shifts meant to bring us into deeper harmony with time, truth, and transformation. The collective often treats these planetary moments like warning sirens—especially when Mercury is involved. Social media floods with memes and panic, as if a retrograde is a cosmic trick played on us rather than an invitation to slow down and realign. But that’s not how I experience them. Not anymore. At Healing through Visions, I meet retrograde energy with presence, not panic. When a planet stations retrograde, it doesn’t actually move backward—it appears to. This illusion of reversal is symbolic, not sinister. It signals a time when that planet’s themes become more internalized, more reflective, more potent…

A richly melanated woman kneels in sacred focus, centered in a spacious, softly lit room with arched ceilings and glowing candles. Wrapped in a beige headwrap and adorned with layered black and gold beaded necklaces, she sprinkles pale blue ritual powder with deliberate care onto a circular altar board etched with geometric symbols. Her gaze is low and steady, hands precise, embodying the sacred act of reversal and energetic redirection. The atmosphere is thick with presence—silent, powerful, and alive with ancient knowing. This is mastery in motion.

Reversing the Current

Reversing the Current Playing with Energy, Power and Protection Some of the most potent magic starts small. Intentionally small. A shirt worn inside out. A necklace clasped backwards. Shoes left by the door, facing the opposite direction. These aren’t just quirky habits or fashion experiments. They’re subtle shifts in the energetic field—deliberate reversals that whisper to the unseen realms, I know how energy moves, and I know how to move it. At Healing through Visions, I honor the beginner’s path as sacred. I know what it means to start with curiosity and a need for protection—something simple, something tactile, something that works. Reversal techniques have deep roots across cultures, shaped by spiritual traditions where direction, intention, and inversion carry tremendous symbolic weight. African Diaspora practices,…

A glass of water holds a raw egg just cracked for spiritual reading, surrounded by coarse salt and soft trails of smoke on a wooden altar. The scene captures the sacred stillness after an egg cleansing—the moment where the unseen begins to speak.

Egg cleansing—also known as limpia—has become one of my most trusted rituals. This ancient practice lives in the bones of many cultures across the globe, passed down through generations as a way to release what no longer belongs and realign with truth.
