You know that feeling when the air in a room is heavy, even if nothing’s technically wrong? Or when your body feels like it’s carrying a week’s worth of other people’s moods, your own stress, and that random frustration you thought you’d already let go of?

That’s stuck energy. It hangs around quietly—like dust you don’t notice until sunlight hits it.

Today’s about clearing some of that. Not with anything fancy—no sage bundles required, unless you’re feeling up to it—just with intention and a few small resets. 

Think of it as an energetic shower: shake off what’s weighing you down, so you can feel lighter, clearer, and a little more like yourself again.

Today in 15 seconds:

💬 Overheard in Therapy: This invisible weight is ruining your days.
📝 Permission Slip Series: Notice these tiny miracles happening around you.
🌌 Daily Cosmic Weather Report: Moon nearly full, planets on the move.
💎 Crystal of the Day: The gem that composts old energy into new life.

Energy gets stuck in more ways than one. Sometimes it’s emotional, sometimes it’s physical—but either way, the clutter lingers. 

Start small: toss that empty cup, fold that blanket, put away just one thing. 

Notice how the room feels lighter, and how you feel lighter too. One tiny shift is often all it takes to get energy moving again.

“I don’t know why I feel so drained—it’s like something’s stuck.”

​​That’s the thing about stuck energy—it doesn’t always come with a clear story or a neat label. Sometimes the weight isn’t about one big event, it’s the slow accumulation of little things: the texts you didn’t reply to, the tension in your shoulders you’ve ignored, the thoughts looping in the background. It’s like carrying bags you didn’t even realize you picked up.

And the truth is, you don’t need to justify that heaviness to anyone—not even yourself. You don’t have to earn the right to rest by pointing to a dramatic reason. Feeling drained is valid, full stop. The body keeps score, the mind holds clutter, and eventually the load feels heavier than you expected.

That’s why rituals of clearing, moving, and releasing matter. They don’t erase the weight, but they create little pockets of lightness—reminders that you can put some of it down. A long exhale. A short walk. Tossing out something that’s been lingering too long. 

Each small act is less about fixing, more about saying: I don’t have to carry all of this anymore.

This Week: Permission to Believe in Small Miracles

You don’t have to wait for the full moon, the perfect playlist, or a week off in Bali. Sometimes the change you need happens in ten seconds. One breath that finally lands in your belly. A glass of water when you’ve been running on caffeine. A laugh that sneaks out of you in the middle of a bad day.

The heaviness might not vanish all at once—but you’re allowed to notice the flicker of lightness when it does arrive. That’s a miracle too: not dramatic, not loud, but proof that stuck energy doesn’t own you.

So today, let yourself trust the small miracles: the quick stretch, the sunlight breaking through the blinds, the song that hits just right. It counts.

Above and within, a gentle rhythm

Tonight’s Moon is Waxing Gibbous, about 71% lit—bright enough to grab your attention, not yet at her peak. It’s the part of the cycle that tests your patience: you’ve started, you’ve shown up, but the results aren’t fully visible yet. That can feel frustrating—or it can be motivating.

Meanwhile, Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt, is closer to Earth than it will be all year. Symbolically, Ceres is about care, food, and how we replenish ourselves. Good timing: the Moon’s energy is asking for endurance, and Ceres reminds you to actually feed yourself in the process.

Planets are shifting, too—Venus and Jupiter gleam in the morning sky, while Saturn holds steady at night. The big planetary “parade” we’ve been seeing is breaking up. A quiet reminder that even alignments don’t last forever, but there’s always another cycle ahead.

Green streaked with black, sometimes kissed with pink—Zoisite looks like something alive, like moss growing over stone. Discovered in Austria in the early 1800s and later found in Tanzania, this mineral has quietly traveled across cultures, often alongside Ruby, creating striking natural pairings. Its name honors Sigmund Zois, an Austrian scholar who championed mineral exploration.

Beyond its geology, Zoisite has always carried a reputation for renewal. It’s often linked with the heart chakra, not in a heavy-handed way, but through the way it softens, balances, and restores. The heart chakra is the bridge between the lower (physical) and upper (spiritual) chakras—a center of connection, compassion, and flow. When energy gets stuck, this is often where it shows up: tightness in the chest, disconnection from joy, a sense of being closed off.

Zoisite doesn’t force that space open—it coaxes it. Its energy helps take what’s stagnant and transform it, like compost turning back into fertile soil. It’s not about forgetting what’s weighed on you, but about allowing those experiences to fuel growth.

Keep it near when you want to:

Zoisite’s gift is gentle but steady: a reminder that your heart already knows how to begin again.

3-8 minutes to tune into what you’re calling in

Off the top of your head (3 mins): Think of one area of your life that feels clogged or heavy. What word describes it best?

Spill it (5-8 mins): If that heaviness could lift—even just a little—what would take its place? Describe the feeling, the color, or even the image that comes to mind.

Let it land, let it go, trust it’ll return when it matters.

Let your eyes catch a flame today—on a candle, a stove burner, even the quick spark of a lighter. Watch how it never holds one shape for long. 

Even when you think it’s steady, it’s bending, bowing, reshaping itself in a hundred tiny ways. Fire reminds us that movement doesn’t always mean big leaps—sometimes it’s just a subtle shimmer, a constant readiness to shift. 

Take it as proof that nothing is ever as fixed as it feels.

Today, notice the solid things beneath you.

The chair that holds you without complaint.
The bed that receives you when you collapse.
The floor that never says anything when you walk across it.

These quiet companions don’t demand explanations for your heaviness. They don’t care if you’re tired, stuck, or simply done. They just take it. They hold it. They hold you.

Let yourself lean a little more into the chair back, soften a little deeper into the mattress, press your feet firmly against the ground.

Gratitude doesn’t always have to be for the light, the spark, the pretty. Sometimes it’s for the simple things that let us rest without falling.

Which object in your space carries a story you don’t want anymore?

It might not be obvious at first. 

Sometimes it’s a sweater from someone you no longer talk to. A book you swore you’d read but never opened. A gift that felt more like an obligation than a joy. 

These things sit quietly in the corner, but they hum with old energy. Every time you glance at them, you’re reminded of a chapter you’ve already lived—or one you never really wanted.

What would it feel like to finally release it? To let that object take its story with it, and free up the space for something that belongs to this version of you?

Take that wisdom beyond objects. Look at the energy you’re carrying, the old stories, the weight you’ve been holding onto. Decide what still serves you—and let the rest go. Even one small release creates space for something new, something lighter, something that belongs to this moment.

Remember: you don’t need to fix everything at once. Just put down what you can, right now, and let the shift ripple outward. You’re not just clearing your space—you’re clearing your energy.

P.S. We made this because most spiritual content made us feel like there was something wrong with us for being tired, messy, or not “high-vibe” enough. If this made you feel a little more human today, that's all we wanted.
