At the Awaken Esthetics Retreat, I was asked if I could lead a meditation, and I immediately knew it would be the Kundalini Meditation: Chakra Dhyana, a sacred, energetic experience designed to awaken, align, and uplift the auric field. I chose this practice because it transcends the boundaries of the physical self; it speaks directly to the soul. It’s a practice I honored weekly for over five years before I embarked on a deep healing dive of energetic discovery and shadow work. That inner journey became a profound initiation, one that helped me clear layers of trauma, limitations, and inherited patterns that once held me back from my fullest potential. Through that transformation, I emerged into the energetic state I now reside in, one of clarity, alignment, and divine connection.

Technology for Skin Longevity: The New Pathway for Lifelong Skin Vitality
Skin longevity isn’t just a wellness trend—it’s becoming the lens through which today’s medical and spa skincare professionals design treatment plans, choose technologies, and guide patients through their long-term skin health journeys. The new frontier of skincare is rooted in the understanding that when we improve cellular function, we improve everything: resilience, vibrancy, structure, and the skin’s ability to age slowly and gracefully.
The Call to Lead the Chakra Dhyana
When I was invited to guide the attendees through a group meditation, I felt a deep knowing that this gathering needed more than stillness; it needed a recalibration of energy. The Chakra Dhyana method channels Kundalini energy, the divine current that rises through the body’s energy centers, to clear stagnation, amplify vibration, and anchor light into the human form.
As I began the meditation, I connected to the divine and angelic realms, moving into what I anchor in “The Golden Realms” a frequency of pure Source consciousness. From that space, I became a conduit for healing light. The energy was immense, crystalline, and loving. It poured through me like a solar current, and as I held this tremendous energy, I could feel it radiate outward, blasting every attendee with golden light that touched their hearts and awakened remembrance. I also served as the anchor for this transmission, grounding the celestial frequencies into the Earth plane so the transmutation could occur safely and fully in light, allowing each person to receive and integrate the energy in alignment with their highest good and the specific information granted to them by their Divine Source and Higher Self.
When the Heart Grids Descended
During the heart chakra segment of the meditation, something miraculous occurred. My sister, who was present, captured a photo at the exact moment when new heart grids descended from the universe, luminous geometric light patterns anchoring into the space through the collective energy. This was also happening at the very moment we were chanting the heart mantra, amplifying the frequency of unconditional love through sound and vibration. That image serves as a visible reminder of the divine frequencies that filled the open air and grassy space around us, and the unified heart field that was born in that moment.
It was also a personal reminder to me. The morning before the retreat began its first (and very intense) session, I had felt called — through natural intuition and my innate gifts of healing — to stand quietly at the back of the room and send heart energy to everyone present. Without words or guidance, that energy had already begun to move through the space and do its work, nearly 27 hours before we gathered for the meditation itself.
Integrating Energy Through Sound
After the meditation, I transitioned into sound bowl and angelic alchemy, allowing vibration to seal and integrate the energetic work that had taken place. Each tone from the three crystal bowls resonated through the nervous system, helping to calm the vagus nerve and bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony. The sound waves carried the divine light deeper into the cellular field, where they could begin to reprogram damaged energy patterns, release stored trauma, and activate the body’s innate intelligence to heal.
At one point, on the second day of meditation, I both saw and felt Archangel Michael standing beside me, a powerful presence of strength and protection. As is his divine duty, he held steadfast in the light, safeguarding the sacred field while anchoring the beauty and purity of the energy flowing into the space. His presence amplified the vibration of peace, courage, and divine order that surrounded everyone in attendance.
Transmuting Insecurity into Love
Throughout the meditation, I asked Divine Source to support the attendees in releasing their insecurities and uncertainties, transforming them into abundant love energy. My intention was for every participant to feel safe, seen, and supported, to open their hearts to possibility, and to leave with renewed faith in their personal path.
At this point, it was no longer about me; everything was being held, guided, and gifted through divine support for the attendees. My role was simply to serve as a vessel of light and compassion. My deepest intention was that all of their wishes and desires would come through, and that they would receive the strength, clarity, and energy needed to bring those manifestations into being. I offered my full support and love to each soul present, trusting that the divine knew exactly what every heart needed in that moment.
A Glimpse into Deva Moon Academy
The meditation and sound bath at the retreat were only a taste of what I offer through Deva Moon Academy, a sacred space I created to teach others how to access and hold energy for healing, awakening, and transformation. The Academy exists to empower seekers to unlock hidden knowledge within their energetic DNA, wisdom that may have been dormant due to ancestral trauma or cellular memory.
Through guided practices, sound therapy, and energetic education, we help participants recalibrate to their highest potential, aligning their body, mind, and spirit with divine frequency and purpose.
At Deva Moon Academy, I also offer a Chakra Energy Cleanse, a one-on-one vibrational healing session designed to realign the energy centers, clear emotional blockages, and restore balance within the auric field. Each session combines intuitive energy work, sound healing, and higher guidance to help clients release what no longer serves them while grounding new light codes into their system.
For those feeling called to go deeper, the Deva Moon Mentorship provides a pathway to understanding and mastering energetic tools, divine connection, and intuitive healing. This mentorship supports practitioners and seekers alike in developing their spiritual gifts, expanding their frequency, and embodying their soul’s purpose with clarity and confidence.
A Phenomenon of Light and Frequency
The experience at Awaken Retreat was more than a meditation; it was an energetic phenomenon. The collective vibration was so strong it could be felt as a tangible field of light, capable of transforming cellular memory, clearing emotional density, and awakening each soul to its highest good.
The energy that moved through us that day continues to ripple outward, a reminder that when we open our hearts to divine frequency, healing becomes inevitable.
