Awakening at Canyon Ranch: When Ceremony Comes Alive

Yesterday, something shifted inside me. Our first live ceremony — opening Canyon Ranch’s Awaken Festival — became a moment where everything I’ve been creating finally breathed on its own. In a sunlit room framed by two walls of windows and guarded by towering amethyst geodes, sound, breath, and intention came alive. Kevin’s blessing, Jared’s soundscape, and my voice found each other in perfect rhythm. And in the slowing down, in the spaciousness, something opened — in me, and in the room.

Ceremony isn’t reserved for temples or retreats; it belongs in each breath, each pause, each transition. In this Journal entry, I share simple daily rituals — from releasing the day before sleep, to setting intention before work, to pausing before conversation — that transform ordinary moments into sacred ones.

Gemstones for Anxiety: 5 Healing Crystals to Bring You Back to Calm

Anxiety can show up in many ways — sometimes a gentle hum, sometimes a restless tide. In those moments, I find comfort in turning to the earth. Gemstones are more than adornment to me — they’re anchors, reminders to pause, breathe, and come back to myself.

In this week’s journal, I share the five crystals I reach for most often when I need calm: Amethyst, Black Tourmaline, Rainbow Moonstone, Smoky Quartz, and Citrine. Each one carries its own medicine — from Amethyst’s soothing presence to Black Tourmaline’s protective shield. I’ll show you how to use them in daily rituals, and you’ll also find ways to bring them into your own life through pocket rocks, Motoring Stones, and jewelry from our Earth pillar.

You’re invited to explore these stones not as cures, but as companions — touchstones to guide you back to your own breath, your own light, your own calm.
