I’m a writer and meditation teacher.

In this post, I’m going behind-the-scenes with a recent short story called “Dog Deities.” I’ll share where the idea came from, the process for drafting and gathering feedback, and the big creative decisions I made along the way.

An open secret in energy healing is the connection between the throat and sacral chakras. Balanced creativity is the foundation for aligned self-expression, so the sacral is what fuels the throat chakra.

Reiki is a healing method that falls somewhere between a deep meditation and “acupuncture without needles.”
