Life moves fast. Between responsibilities, daily challenges, and unexpected hurdles, we often carry more stress than we realize. These burdens can manifest in ways we don’t immediately recognize—fatigue, restlessness, poor eating habits, emotional heaviness, or even a lingering sense of disconnection.
Perhaps you feel off balance, but you’re unsure why. You just know that something isn’t quite right.
Effects of Stress on Mind, Body & Spirit
Stress, anxiety, and emotional distress affects our minds along with our entire well-being. Over time, this can lead to:
- Exhaustion – Feeling sluggish, lacking energy, or experiencing body aches.
- Foggy Brain – Difficulty focusing, overthinking, or struggling with decision-making.
- Imbalance – Heightened anxiety, mood swings, or a sense of detachment.
- Sleepless Nights – Restlessness, trouble falling asleep, or waking up unrefreshed.
- Low Energy Levels – Feeling uninspired, unmotivated, or disconnected from yourself and others.
When left unaddressed, the lack of harmony creates a cycle that becomes harder to break. But the good news is—healing is possible.
It’s Time to Reset & Reconnect
Not feeling like yourself, consider this your invitation to pause. Take a deep breath and ask yourself:
- When was the last time I felt truly at peace?
- Am I carrying extra baggage causing undesired stress?
- What do I need to feel grounded and whole again?
This is where Reiki healing can help.

Check On Your People
As this year continues, my heart has been heavy with the loss of loved ones to health challenges, overdose, and domestic violence. These experiences have been a painful reminder of how critical it is to actively care for the people in our lives.
Mental health is a silent struggle in so many of our communities, and it’s often those who seem the strongest who are carrying the heaviest burdens. Pay attention to the quiet ones, the ones who always seem in control, and the ones who are constantly smiling while supporting everyone else.
Please, check in on your people. A simple “How are you, really?” can make all the difference. Remember, silence can be deafening.

Stepping Into My Purpose: Trusting Spirit’s Guidance
Author Christine T.
I started my journey with a vision of becoming a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA), but life had other plans. When that path didn’t work out, I pursued Human Resource Management, believing it was the right direction—but the doors refused to open.
For the longest time, I sat in uncertainty, waiting for clarity. Then, I finally did what I should have done all along—I let Spirit take the wheel.
From Uncertainty to Divine Guidance
For the past few years, I have allowed Spirit to guide my steps, trusting that my purpose would unfold in ways beyond my imagination.
When the world faced COVID, I embarked on a new journey—Enchanted Waves. Initially, it was a platform where I sold spiritual items, but as time passed, Spirit led me in an entirely different direction. My calling was not in selling products—it was in healing, guiding, and supporting others.
A Passion for Helping Others
Helping people has always been my passion. I just needed to find the right way to show up for others outside of the traditional roles of a social worker or therapist. It wasn’t that I lacked the desire—I simply had responsibilities that made internships and conventional paths difficult.
Yet, Spirit never let me give up. Instead, I was led to holistic healing, transformational coaching, and energy work, allowing me to help others in a way that feels deeply aligned with my purpose.
Walking in Alignment with My Purpose
✨ Per Numerology, I am a Life Path 9.
✨ I am a Virgo, deeply rooted in service and healing.
✨ My Spirit Mother is the Water Spirit—fluid, intuitive, and ever-evolving.I am here to guide, to heal, to comfort. I have been told countless times that I will heal with my hands—that my gift is to bring peace to others, to listen without judgment, and to uplift those who need it most.
For years, I have been doing exactly that—coaching, motivating, and encouraging family, friends, and those Spirit places on my path. I’ve always shared that big changes aren’t always necessary—sometimes, it’s the small shifts that create the biggest impact.
Your Journey is Yours Alone
I want you to know—I have been where you are.
I continue to grow, evolve, and face life’s obstacles, just as you do.💡 Life does not stop. Obstacles come in different forms, but we must release the fear of the unknown.
💡 We cannot control everything. What is meant for us will always find its way.
💡 Courage is the key. We must have the boldness to live for ourselves, not for others.No one’s story or journey is the same. Do not suppress your dreams or dim your light to keep others comfortable. Allow Spirit, the Universe, or the Divine to lead you to the place you were meant to be.
I know that this moment, this chapter, is just another stepping stone toward my greatness.
✨ Let’s step into yours. ✨

Don’t Let Your Past Define You: Riding the Waves of Transformation
Author Christine T
“Don’t let your past define you.” This phrase is both empowering and contradictory. On one hand, our past shapes us—it holds the experiences, lessons, and challenges that brought us to this very moment. On the other hand, if we are not mindful, our past can also restrict us—trapping us in old beliefs, unresolved wounds, and narratives that no longer serve our growth.
The Role of the Past: A Foundation, Not a Limit
Our past is a blueprint, a record of everything we have endured, overcome, and learned. It is the foundation on which we stand, providing strength and wisdom. Without it, we wouldn’t be who we are today. However, the danger lies in allowing our past to dictate who we become rather than simply guiding our growth.
Reflection:
- Are you carrying past pain as an identity?
- Do old beliefs keep you stuck?
- Are you resisting growth out of fear of the unknown?
These are powerful questions that require self-awareness and courage to answer.
Breaking Free: Transforming the Past into Growth
We can acknowledge the past without living in it. When we sit with ourselves and bravely face our history, we shift from being prisoners of our past to being architects of our future. This requires:
Releasing Limiting Beliefs – Recognizing that just because something was true before doesn’t mean it has to be true now.
Healing Emotional Baggage – Processing old wounds instead of carrying them forward.
Embracing Change – Understanding that growth means stepping into the unknown, even when it feels uncomfortable.
The Power of Presence: Living Beyond the Past
True transformation happens when we take the lessons of the past and use them to elevate our present and shape our future. The past does not define us—how we respond to it does.
Ask yourself:
- What lesson from my past can I use to empower my present?
- What belief am I ready to let go of?
- How can I honor my past without being bound by it?
The past is not a life sentence—it is a stepping stone. How far do you want to go? That choice is yours.
What’s one belief or habit you’re ready to release from your past?

Challenges of Life: Shifting Your Mindset for Growth
Author Christine T.
Life is full of challenges, but have you ever wondered why? Why do obstacles seem to appear just when you’re making progress? Why does life sometimes feel so hard?
For many, it can feel like they’re not meant for success, as if life is working against them. Blockages can show up in different ways:
- Financial struggles – Money seems to disappear as soon as it arrives.
- Mental roadblocks – Self-doubt and limiting beliefs hold you back.
- Health issues – Stress, fatigue, or illness seem constant.
But what if I told you that our mindset plays a major role in shaping our reality?
The Power of Your Beliefs
C.S. Lewis once said: “We are what we believe.”
Let that sink in. If you constantly think:
❌ “Everything goes wrong for me.” → Life will feel like one big struggle.
❌ “I’m always sick.” → Your body will reflect that belief.
❌ “I never have enough money.” → Money will continue to slip away.Our thoughts are energy—and what we put out into the world, we receive in return. The Law of Attraction teaches us that our dominant thoughts manifest into reality.
So, if you shift your focus and start believing:
✅ “Abundance flows to me effortlessly.”
✅ “I am strong, healthy, and resilient.”
✅ “Challenges are opportunities for growth.”You change your energy, your actions, and ultimately, your life.
How to Overcome Life’s Challenges
Life is a journey of lessons, not perfection. No one promised an easy path, but we do have the power to shape our response. Here are a few guiding principles that can help:
- Build Strong Character – Stay true to your values and integrity.
- Control Your Emotions – Pause. Breathe. Reflect. Don’t let outside forces dictate your peace.
- Energy Flows Where Attention Goes – Focus on solutions, not problems.
- Embrace Duality – Life has highs and lows, but both bring growth.
- Accept Imperfection – Nothing (and no one) is perfect—growth comes from the journey.
Your Challenges Are Preparing You for Greatness
We can either learn and grow from challenges or remain stuck in repetitive cycles. The choice is ours.
Next time life feels overwhelming, shift your perspective:
💡 See obstacles as stepping stones.
💡 Recognize setbacks as redirections.
💡 Be thankful for challenges—they are shaping you into the person you’re meant to be.Your journey is yours alone—Embrace it, Own it, and Give Thanks for every step. You are leveling up!

“You’ve Come Along Way, Baby”
Embracing Growth and Change
Author Christine T. 2/19/2025
“You’ve come a long way, baby.” This simple yet powerful statement has always resonated with me. It’s a reminder that life is all about evolution. Every challenge, every setback, and every difficult relationship teaches us something. But here’s the question: Are we using those lessons to grow?
The Purpose of Challenges:
Life’s difficulties often serve as a mirror, reflecting areas where we need growth. Whether it’s a personal relationship, professional dynamic, or even self-limiting beliefs, the key to overcoming negativity is change.Example – Navigating Difficult Relationships:
Have you ever found yourself in a frustrating dynamic where communication seems impossible? Maybe it’s a tense workplace relationship, a friendship filled with misunderstandings, or a personal connection that feels like it’s always on edge. Instead of staying stuck, consider this approach:✅ 1. Confront Without Confrontation – Address the issue with understanding, not blame. Lead with curiosity instead of criticism.
✅ 2. Improve Communication – Ask, How can we do better? Instead of reacting emotionally, focus on solutions.
✅ 3. Check Yourself – Self-awareness is key. Are your own triggers, assumptions, or past wounds affecting how you respond?
Conclusion:
Growth doesn’t come from comfort—it comes from challenge. The next time you face difficulty, remember: You’ve come a long way, baby. Keep rising, keep evolving, and keep moving forward.
