You’ve probably already grown this year more than you realize
Courage, passion, and change – these are some of the signature traits of 2026, a fire horse year in the Chinese zodiac.
Are you feeling it? Or is it mostly a blur?
Without needing to know the details, I’m noticing the people around me going through some pretty profound heart level shifts. Leading the Healing Circle gives me a particularly good front row seat.
In the end, it’s not about what happens, but how your heart responds. That’s why I feel awe when I witness someone’s heart expand open rather than contract in the wake of a major loss.
Some might not be able to put a finger on anything particular happening, but I see them responding unconsciously to energy of the year, pulled by some inward voice and responding to a seed stirring in the heart and coming to life.
In honor of the major heart-level work that we are stumbling into, forced into, and occasionally directly seek out, I created a 30 minute practice featured below.
Qigong is powerful because it can help restore peace and a sense of wholeness within even the most tender places of the heart. In today’s practice I focus on two essential techniques:
Drawing on the energy of our great role models of love.
Cultivating a state of consciousness similar to being between awake and asleep, that allows our brain, body, and qi to rebalance most quickly.
You have probably stretched this year already more than you could have imagined. You have probably grown more than you can recognize. This practice is my gift to you to help you catch up with yourself. The real creative fire of summer is just starting to warm up!
Love,
Emily

1. Need something to steady yourself in the high seas of 2026? When you receive weekly healings as part of the Healing Circle, you are creating a solid foundation for your transformation.
