I was not sure what to expect but knew I needed to regain focus/vision to forge ahead in my PhD program.
The theme I went in with was a need for balance in my life, and Gretchen totally facilitated my ability to clearly see what I need to do to accomplish this balance in all areas.

If you’ve been feeling off-balance, exhausted, strangely emotional, or like the universe just threw you into a cosmic spin cycle, you’re not alone.
And while it may feel overwhelming, please know this: It’s not random, and you’re not losing it—you’re evolving.
We're living through a time of massive energetic shifts, influenced by everything from astrological transits to scientific phenomena like solar flares, shifts in the Schumann resonance, and even neutrino streams affecting our personal and collective fields. If you haven't been feeling this, you’re probably in the minority.
Now, take a deep breath, we're going to break it down. Let's validate what you’re experiencing, and explore some not-so-basic ways to ride these waves instead of feeling like they’re knocking you over.
Astrologically speaking, we're in a pressure-cooker of transformation. Major planetary alignments, retrogrades, and eclipses are stirring the pot, forcing deep-seated patterns to rise to the surface.
If you’re feeling triggered, nostalgic, or like old wounds are resurfacing, it’s because they are—but only so they can be healed for good.
The Sun has been on a fiery rampage, releasing powerful solar flares and sending waves of electromagnetic energy toward Earth.
This can disrupt technology, mess with sleep patterns, and cause heightened emotional sensitivity, anxiety, and even random bursts of energy.
Some call it the Earth’s "heartbeat," the Schumann resonance is the frequency of the planetary vibration.
When it fluctuates—which it has been doing erratically—it can affect our own bioelectric fields, making us feel ungrounded, fatigued, or even blissed-out during strange moments of clarity.
Neutrinos are subatomic particles that pass through everything—including us. They carry information from cosmic events like supernovae and solar activity, subtly influencing our consciousness.
As more high-vibrational neutrinos flood through, many people report experiencing spontaneous insights, radical perspective shifts, or feeling detached from old patterns overnight.
Sound affects us on a deep level, and using frequencies consciously can help recalibrate your nervous system. Try:
Water isn’t just hydration—it’s an information carrier. Try:
Instead of the usual "roots into the earth" method, try pulling energy UP through your body like a fountain.
This refreshes and revitalizes rather than just stabilizing. Imagine golden light flowing up from the Earth into your feet and filling your body.
Different breath patterns evoke different elemental energies. Try:
This is a game-changer for nervous system regulation. Instead of focusing on one point, soften your gaze and take in everything in your periphery. This signals to your brain that you’re safe and shifts you out of fight-or-flight mode.
Or, even better, consider practicing The Basic Exercise (p. 191-195 in PDF), outlined in Stanley Rosenberg's book Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve (p. 186-190 in book).
Visualize yourself in a stream of shimmering cosmic particles, each carrying insights and upgrades. Let them pass through you, washing away outdated thought patterns and effervescing through blockages, while bringing in fresh, aligned awareness.
Yes, the world feels intense. Yes, everything is shifting rapidly. But that doesn’t mean you’re powerless. The key is learning to work with these energies instead of resisting them. By tuning in, experimenting with different realignment techniques, and remembering that you’re part of something big, you can find your center again.
This isn’t the end of the world—it’s the end of an old world, and the birth of something new. And you? You’re right on time.
Now, go forth and alchemize, my friend! ✨

You've got this!
