Gemini Season, Blue Topaz & a Sold-Out Sound Bath in San Diego | A Night of Softness, Reiki & Renewal

May 20

Tonight’s Yoga Nidra, Reiki, and sound bath in San Diego at The Meditation Nook felt incredibly special.

Not only did the event sell out, but we actually ended up over capacity after someone walked in hoping to join and somehow we were still able to make space for them.

Moments like that always remind me:
People are craving connection, rest, healing, and community more than ever.

And honestly, the energy in the room last night reflected exactly that.

♊ Welcoming Gemini Season

This event also marked the very first day of Gemini season, which always feels extra meaningful to me because I’m a Gemini myself.

Gemini season carries such interesting energy.

After moving through the slower, grounding energy of Taurus season, Gemini invites:

Curiosity
Communication
Movement
Creativity
Reflection
Connection

It’s airy, expansive, expressive, and mentally stimulating.

I wanted this evening’s experience to honor that transition:
Moving from the rooted stability of Taurus into the lighter, more reflective energy of Gemini while still staying grounded in the body.

🌿 Clearing the Space with Sacred Herbs

Before guests arrived, I spent time energetically clearing the room using:

Rosemary
Frankincense
Palo Santo

I’m very intentional about how I prepare a space before a sound bath.

Each of these elements carries its own significance:

🌱 Rosemary

Traditionally associated with:

Clarity
Protection
Memory
Mental cleansing

Perfect for Gemini energy connected to the mind and communication.

✨ Frankincense

Often used in spiritual rituals and meditation practices for:

Grounding
Spiritual connection
Nervous system calming
Deepening meditation

🌳 Palo Santo

Known for energetic cleansing and creating a sense of calm and softness within a space.

Together, the combination felt incredibly aligned for the evening.

💙 Blue Topaz — “Be Soft and Listen”

At the beginning of the experience, I invited everyone to pull a crystal oracle card.

The card I personally drew was: Blue Topaz - Be Soft & Listen

The message felt deeply aligned with the collective energy of the evening.

The card spoke about intuition, inner knowing, and the importance of softening enough to actually hear ourselves beneath the noise of the world.

One line especially stood out to me:

“You don’t need a teacher or a textbook. You simply need to be soft and to listen.”

As we moved into Gemini season, it felt like such a beautiful reminder that not every answer comes from overthinking or constantly searching externally.

Sometimes clarity comes through stillness.

Through softness.
Through listening.

🧘‍♀️ Yoga Nidra for the Gemini Transition

After grounding the group, I guided everyone through a Yoga Nidra meditation script I personally wrote for this seasonal transition.

The meditation focused on:

Releasing the heaviness of Taurus season
Opening to movement and possibility
Balancing the busy Gemini mind with grounding
Nervous system regulation
Returning to inner awareness

One of my favorite things about writing custom Yoga Nidra scripts is weaving astrology, seasonal themes, and collective energy into the experience.

No two sessions are ever exactly the same.

🌊 Reiki + Sound Healing Experience

After Yoga Nidra, I moved into Reiki and sound healing.

I offered hands-on root chakra Reiki throughout the room while playing crystal singing bowls, creating a deeply grounding and restorative experience.

One of the most emotional moments of the night was using my large rain stick.

It’s nearly 10 minutes long, and I slowly move through the room while the sound of flowing rain washes over the space.

During this part of the experience, I also spent a few quiet moments offering gentle hands-on Reiki to each participant.

There’s something incredibly intimate and calming about that combination of:

Sound
Touch
Breath
Stillness

The room felt so peaceful by the end of the session.

🏔️ Alaska Retreat Connections

One of the sweetest surprises was having my friend, who will be co-leading our upcoming Alaska retreat alongside her son and daughter-in-law, attend the experience before heading back to Alaska tomorrow.

I can’t wait to see all the photos and continue planning this retreat together.
