The Music Within You ❤️

Hello Beautiful Soul,

Have you ever noticed how one song can lift your mood in seconds, while traffic noise leaves you frazzled? Sound is not just something we hear. It is vibration, and our bodies are wonderfully responsive to it. Ancient healers knew this long before physics did. In India, sages chanted sacred syllables to awaken the body’s energy centres. Tibetan monks played singing bowls, and Taoist masters used six healing sounds to balance the organs. Today, sound healing is enjoying a beautiful revival, and one of its most popular tools is a set of tones called the Solfeggio frequencies. So pour a cup of tea, settle in, and let’s take a musical journey up the seven chakras, from the roots to the crown.

First, a Quick Word on Frequencies

A frequency is simply how many times a sound wave vibrates each second, measured in hertz (Hz). The Solfeggio tones were popularized in the 1970s and 1990s, and in modern sound healing each one is paired with a chakra. Their link to ancient Gregorian chant is a lovely story, though historians still debate it, and some healers use other systems, such as tuning forks based on the musical scale. What matters most is how the sound feels in your body.

● Root Chakra (Muladhara): 396 Hz

Colour: red  ·  Mantra: LAM  ·  Theme: safety and grounding
Muladhara sits at the base of your spine and is your energetic foundation, like the roots of a great tree. When it is balanced, you feel safe, steady and at home in your body. When it wobbles, you may feel anxious, scattered or stuck in survival mode. 396 Hz is known as the tone of liberation, traditionally used to release fear and guilt. As you listen, picture roots growing from your feet deep into the warm earth.

Healing benefits: grounding, calm and a deep sense of security.

● Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana): 417 Hz

Colour: orange  ·  Mantra: VAM  ·  Theme: creativity and emotional flow
Just below the navel lives Svadhisthana, the chakra of water, pleasure and creativity. It governs how freely our emotions flow. 417 Hz is called the tone of change, and sound healers use it to help clear old patterns and support us through life transitions. If you feel creatively blocked or emotionally frozen, this is your tone.

Healing benefits: creativity, emotional release, and joy in life’s simple pleasures.

● Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura): 528 Hz

Colour: golden yellow  ·  Mantra: RAM  ·  Theme: confidence and digestive fire
Readers of my gut health series will recognize this one! Manipura, the city of jewels, is home to agni, your digestive fire, and to your willpower and self-esteem. 528 Hz is the celebrity of the Solfeggio family, nicknamed the love frequency or miracle tone. A small 2018 study in Japan found that music tuned to 528 Hz appeared to lower stress markers in volunteers. Promising, though more research is needed.

Healing benefits: confidence, motivation, healthy boundaries and happier digestion.

● Heart Chakra (Anahata): 639 Hz

Colour: green  ·  Mantra: YAM  ·  Theme: love and connection
Anahata means unstruck, a poetic name for the place where love flows freely. Sitting in the centre of the chest, it bridges the three earthly chakras below with the three spiritual chakras above. 639 Hz is traditionally used to harmonize relationships and encourage forgiveness, both towards others and towards ourselves.

Healing benefits: compassion, emotional healing and warmer connections.

● Throat Chakra (Vishuddha): 741 Hz

Colour: sky blue  ·  Mantra: HAM  ·  Theme: truth and self-expression
Ever had a lump in your throat when you could not say what you felt? That is Vishuddha asking for attention. This chakra governs communication and authentic self-expression. 741 Hz is associated with cleansing and with expressing your truth clearly. Many people also hold tension in the jaw, neck and shoulders, which makes this a lovely tone to pair with a gentle neck stretch.

Healing benefits: clear communication, creativity and release of throat and jaw tension.

● Third Eye Chakra (Ajna): 852 Hz

Colour: indigo  ·  Mantra: OM  ·  Theme: intuition and insight
Between your eyebrows lies Ajna, the seat of intuition. In yogic tradition, it is where the two great energy channels, Ida and Pingala, finally meet. As a Vedic astrologer, I love this chakra: it is the inner eye that sees beyond the surface of things. 852 Hz is used to awaken intuition and quiet the busy, overthinking mind.

Healing benefits: intuition, mental clarity, focus and deeper meditation.

● Crown Chakra (Sahasrara): 963 Hz

Colour: violet or white  ·  Mantra: silence or OM  ·  Theme: spiritual connection
At the very top of the head blooms Sahasrara, the thousand-petalled lotus. It is our connection to something greater than ourselves, whatever we call it: the divine, the universe or pure consciousness. 963 Hz, sometimes called the frequency of the gods, is used for deep meditation and a sense of oneness.

Healing benefits: inner peace, spiritual connection and a feeling of wholeness.

Try It: A 15-Minute Chakra Sound Bath

• Set the scene. Find a quiet spot, use headphones, and keep the volume soft and comfortable.
• Start at the root. Spend about two minutes with each frequency, moving upward from 396 Hz to 963 Hz.
• Breathe in colour. Visualize each chakra’s colour glowing brighter with every breath.
• Hum along. Softly chant each chakra’s mantra and feel where it vibrates in your body.
• Linger where you need it. Feeling unsettled? Stay longer at the root. Heartbroken? Rest at the heart.
• Close in silence. Sit quietly for a minute, sip some water, and jot down anything you noticed.

Caution: Keep volumes low, and avoid listening while driving. If you have epilepsy, tinnitus or another sound-sensitive condition, check with your healthcare provider first. Sound healing is a lovely companion to, but not a replacement for, medical or mental health care.

You Are a Living Instrument

Like a beautiful instrument, you sometimes drift a little out of tune. Stress, grief, busy schedules and changing seasons all leave their mark. The good news is that you can always return to harmony, one breath, one tone and one gentle moment at a time. Try the sound bath this week and notice which chakra sings the loudest for you. Your body may have something wonderful to tell you.

By the way, I will be at the Lady's Night in Port Alberni on Feb.28th. I will be offering palm reading, medical face/tongue reading, Sidereal astrology chart reading, especially related to past lives and chronic health challenges, tarot card reading combined with Sidereal astrology for one-year predictions and predictions for specific events in your life, ancient 1 Ching, and much more. I am looking forward to meeting you there. Please check my poster below for more details.

I hope you enjoy the information and have a wonderful week ahead!

The Healer’s Moon ❤️

Dear friends,

As autumn deepens and the leaves let go, the sky offers a rare, beautiful gift: the brightest full moon of the Vedic year, rising in fiery Aries within Ashwini, the nakshatra of the divine physicians. This moon brings healing, renewal, and courageous new beginnings. In this content, I’ll share what this full moon means, the planetary alignment behind it, the ancient healing gift of the medicine horse, a look at the sky this coming Thursday, and simple mind-body practices to help you receive its medicine.

When to Watch

Location	Exact Full Moon
Pacific (Nanaimo, Vancouver)	Sunday, Oct 25 · 9:12 PM PDT
Universal Time (UTC)	Monday, Oct 26 · 04:12
India (IST)	Monday, Oct 26 · 9:42 AM

Here on the West Coast, the moon culminates on Sunday evening, so the night of October 25 is our night to celebrate.

Ashwini: The Nakshatra of Divine Physicians

Ashwini is the first of the 27 nakshatras, spanning 0°–13°20′ of Aries. Its symbol is the horse’s head, and its deities are the Ashwini Kumaras, celestial twin healers who, in Vedic lore, restored sight, youth, and vitality to those they touched. Ruled by Ketu, Ashwini carries swift, intuitive, almost miraculous healing energy — the kind that arrives quickly once we are ready to receive it.

With the Moon at 8°32′ Aries, this full moon sits in the heart of Ashwini. It invites us to ask: What in my body, mind, or spirit is ready to be restored? Where am I ready to begin again? Aries is the sign of the first spark, so this is a wonderful moment to set health intentions with courage rather than hesitation.

Medicine Horses: Our Four-Legged Healers

Ashwini means “she who is born of a horse.” In Vedic myth, the Ashwini Kumaras were born to Surya, the Sun, who had taken the form of a mare, and the twins are often pictured with horses’ heads. Seven horses draw the Sun’s chariot across the sky, carrying light and prana to all living beings. And 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse in the Chinese calendar, which makes this Ashwini full moon a doubly horse-blessed moon.

Across many Indigenous traditions of Turtle Island, the horse is honoured as a medicine relative, a teacher of freedom, strength, and the bond between earth and spirit. The Lakota name for the horse, Šúŋkawakȟáŋ, is often translated as “sacred” or “mysterious dog.” Here in Canada, residential school survivor Patrick Buffalo of Maskwacis, Alberta, developed the Kisikaw (Day) Method of horse therapy. “They are healers,” he says. “The horses are non-judgmental.” His aim is “to move that person from the head back to the heart.”

Why do horses heal? As prey animals, horses are exquisitely attuned to body language, breath, and emotional state. They respond to what we truly feel, not what we pretend to feel, so they act as a kind of living biofeedback. A 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis of 15 studies found that equine-assisted services may reduce PTSD symptoms in the short term, although the studies were small and more research is needed. Researchers are also exploring whether heart-rate rhythms of horse, client, and therapist begin to synchronize during sessions.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Horse (午, Wu) governs 11 AM to 1 PM, the peak hour of the Heart meridian in the body clock. The Heart houses the Shen, our spirit. Perhaps this is why time with horses so often feels like coming home to the heart.

Ways to receive horse medicine this full moon:

✦    Visit a stable or sanctuary: stand quietly near a horse, soften your gaze, and let your breath slow to match theirs.

✦    Try equine-assisted learning: look for a certified equine-assisted practitioner, many of whom offer gentle ground-based sessions with no riding required.

✦    White horse meditation: close your eyes and picture a luminous white horse of Ashwini carrying you through moonlit fields, leaving behind what no longer serves you.

✦    Journal: Where in my life am I longing to run free? Where am I being asked to slow down and trust?

Planetary Alignment at the Full Moon

✦    Moon in Aries (Ashwini) opposite Sun in Libra: the Moon’s fire meets the Sun’s airy search for balance. The Sun is debilitated in Libra, so our outer energy may feel softer — honour the need for rest.

✦    Venus retrograde in Libra (own sign): since October 3, Venus has been asking us to review relationships, self-worth, and how we nourish ourselves.

✦    Mercury retrograde in Libra: Mercury turned retrograde on October 24, so revisit, reflect, and double-check before signing or sending.

✦    Mars and Jupiter together in Cancer: Mars, ruler of Aries, travels with Jupiter in its final degree before Jupiter enters Leo on October 31. Mars casts its aspect onto Libra, energizing the Sun, Venus, and Mercury — a push to act on what we have been reconsidering.

✦    Saturn retrograde in Pisces; Rahu in Aquarius, Ketu in Leo: Ketu, Ashwini’s ruler, sits in fire-sign Leo, forming a supportive fire trine with the Moon — spiritual insight flows easily.

Health & Healing Suggestions

✦    Cool the head: Aries governs the head and eyes. Research suggests that screen breaks and regular hydration may help ease tension headaches and eye strain.

✦    Support the Lungs: In Traditional Chinese Medicine, autumn belongs to the Metal element and the Lungs, which hold grief. Pears, daikon, almonds, and white fungus may support moisture as the air turns dry.

✦    Nourish the Kidneys: Libra rules the kidneys and lower back. With the Sun weakened there, warm soups, black sesame, walnuts, and early nights may help conserve vital energy.

✦    Breathe with the moon: sit outside for ten minutes of slow belly breathing. Studies suggest slow breathing calms the nervous system and supports restful sleep.

A Simple Full Moon Ritual

✦    Light a candle and place a bowl of water beneath the moonlight.

✦    Write down one thing you are ready to heal and one new beginning you welcome.

✦    Offer gratitude to your ancestors, your body, the Ashwini twins, and the medicine horses who carry healing to us.

✦    Rest early and let the moon’s medicine work while you sleep.

Nature's Gift to Your Heart ❤️

The Heart’s Guardian Tree

Deep in the forests of the Indian subcontinent grows a majestic tree with a name that carries the weight of ancient legend — Arjuna (Terminalia arjuna). Named after the heroic warrior of the Mahabharata, this tree has been revered in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3,000 years as one of the most powerful cardiac tonics known to traditional healers. The bark of the Arjuna tree holds the key to its remarkable healing properties, and modern science is now catching up with what Ayurvedic physicians have long known: Arjuna is a true ally for the heart. 

As someone who integrates the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, functional nutrition, and holistic healing into my practice, I find Arjuna to be one of the most elegant examples of how nature provides precisely what our modern, stress-laden hearts need. In this newsletter, I want to share the science, the tradition, and the practical wisdom behind this extraordinary herb. 

What Makes Arjuna So Powerful?

The medicinal bark of Terminalia arjuna is a treasure trove of bioactive compounds that work synergistically to support cardiovascular health:

•       Glycosides (arjunetin, arjunine): strengthen and tone heart muscle, improving contractility

•       Flavonoids (quercetin, kaempferol): potent antioxidants that neutralize free radicals and reduce arterial inflammation

•       Tannins and terpenes: support healthy blood pressure and lipid metabolism

•       Calcium, magnesium, zinc, and copper: essential minerals that regulate heart rhythm and vascular tone

•       Oleanolic acid and ursolic acid: plant triterpenes that protect the heart lining and support cholesterol balance

 

Together, these compounds give Arjuna a multi-dimensional action on the cardiovascular system — something no single pharmaceutical can fully replicate.

How Arjuna Supports Your Heart 

1. Strengthens Heart Muscle Function

Clinical research has shown that Arjuna bark extract enhances the strength of myocardial contractions, effectively acting as a natural cardiotonic. Studies published in the Journal of the Association of Physicians of India found significant improvements in heart function among patients with congestive heart failure who supplemented with Arjuna. The glycosides in the bark are thought to work in a manner similar to cardiac glycosides, but with far fewer side effects.

2. Supports Healthy Blood Pressure

Arjuna has demonstrated vasodilatory properties, meaning it helps relax and widen blood vessels, reducing the workload on the heart. Its natural diuretic effect also helps the body eliminate excess sodium and fluid, contributing to lower blood pressure over time. For women navigating hormonal transitions — whether perimenopause or beyond — blood pressure can creep up silently. Arjuna offers gentle, natural support.

3. Balances Cholesterol and Lipid Levels

Multiple studies have documented Arjuna’s ability to reduce total cholesterol, LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, and triglycerides while simultaneously raising HDL (“good”) cholesterol. This lipid-balancing effect is particularly meaningful for long-term cardiovascular protection, as oxidized LDL cholesterol is a key driver of arterial plaque formation.

4. Powerful Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Action

Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are now recognized as the root causes of most cardiovascular disease. Arjuna’s rich flavonoid content delivers exceptional antioxidant protection to arterial walls, reducing inflammation and protecting endothelial cells from damage. This is where Arjuna beautifully bridges the gap between Ayurvedic tradition and modern functional medicine.

5. Reduces Angina and Supports Ischemic Heart Conditions

Landmark research from the Kasturba Medical College in India demonstrated that Arjuna bark significantly reduced the frequency of angina attacks in patients with stable angina when compared to placebo. Its ability to improve oxygen delivery to the heart muscle, reduce ischemic episodes, and enhance exercise tolerance makes it valuable for anyone dealing with heart-related fatigue or chest discomfort.

 

“Arjuna is one of the few herbs backed by both millennia of clinical use and modern peer-reviewed research for cardiovascular support. It is my first recommendation when a client needs to nurture and protect their heart naturally.” — Lucy Liu, RD, Holistic Health Practitioner

How to Use Arjuna 

Arjuna is most commonly available as:

•       Standardized bark extract capsules (500–750 mg, twice daily with meals)

•       Arjuna churna (powder): ½–1 tsp in warm milk or water, morning and evening

•       Arjuna tea: simmer 1 tsp bark powder in 2 cups of water for 10–15 minutes

 

Traditional Ayurveda recommends taking Arjuna with warm milk (or a dairy-free alternative) as the milk acts as an anupana — a carrier that enhances absorption and delivery of the herb’s active constituents to the heart tissue.

Always choose a high-quality, organically sourced product, ideally standardized for arjunic acid content. As with any therapeutic herb, I recommend working with a qualified practitioner to individualize the dose to your unique constitution and health needs.

Safety & Considerations

Arjuna is considered very safe for long-term use. However, please note:

•       Consult your healthcare provider if you are taking blood pressure medications or anticoagulants, as Arjuna may have additive effects

•       Not recommended during pregnancy without professional guidance

•       Those with kidney disease should use under supervision due to its mild diuretic properties

•       Inform your cardiologist if you are incorporating Arjuna alongside conventional cardiac medications

Heart Health: The Holistic Picture

True heart health is never just about one herb or supplement. Arjuna works best as part of a broader heart-centered lifestyle. From my integrative practice, I recommend pairing Arjuna with:

•       A whole-food, plant-rich diet abundant in omega-3s, fiber, and polyphenols

•       Daily movement: even 30 minutes of gentle walking significantly reduces cardiovascular risk

•       Stress reduction practices: meditation, breathwork (pranayama), and time in nature are powerful heart medicines

•       Adequate sleep: the heart does its most important repair work during deep sleep

•       Emotional healing: in Traditional Chinese Medicine, the heart is the seat of the Shen (spirit). Unresolved grief and chronic stress are energetically taxing to the heart. Energy healing and mindfulness support heart coherence at a deeper level

     The heart, energetically, is a toroidal field that has the largest electromagnetic field in your body; it is the resting place of your soul. There is a connection between your heart and your breath. Let's dive into the ancient wisdom of breathwork and why it will transform your life from the inside out.

🌑 Your Hands Hold the Harvest ❤️

 Hello Beautiful Soul Family,

Something in the cosmos is asking you to get honest. Not harshly — but clearly, beautifully, and with great precision. Are you ready to listen?

On October 10, 2026, the sky goes dark as the Sun and Moon unite in Virgo in the sidereal zodiac—and they do so in one of Vedic astrology's most gifted star clusters: Hasta Nakshatra, the constellation of The Hand.

Ruled by the Moon herself and presided over by Savitar, the solar deity of inspiration and skill, Hasta carries a rare energy: the ability to take something vast and invisible — a dream, a healing, an idea — and make it real with your hands. Weavers, healers, surgeons, artists, and craftspeople all carry Hasta's signature. At this New Moon, the cosmos is handing you that same gift.

But there's more. The planetary backdrop is rich, complex, and — if you know how to read it — deeply empowering. Four significant alignments are shaping this lunation, and together they paint a picture of profound opportunity wrapped in honest challenge. Let's unpack them.

✦  The Planetary Alignments

🪐  The Saturn Opposition — The Reality Check

Picture Saturn standing on the opposite bank of a river, arms crossed, watching you.

At this New Moon, Saturn in Pisces directly opposes the Sun and Moon in Virgo. This is not a comfortable aspect, and Saturn has never been in the business of comfort. Saturn is the great karmic editor — the planet that asks you to strip away everything that isn't real, isn't earned, isn't yours. When he opposes a New Moon, he intercepts the moment of new beginnings and says: "Not yet. Show me your foundation first."

In Pisces, Saturn is already wrestling with his most challenging territory — the boundless, the spiritual, the undefined. He craves structure; Pisces offers none. This friction ripples toward you now as a deep invitation to examine where fantasy has been masquerading as intention. Where have you been dreaming without doing? Where have you avoided a hard truth because it felt too large to hold?

This opposition is not here to defeat you. Research in positive psychology consistently suggests that honest self-reckoning — approached with self-compassion rather than self-criticism — may be one of the most powerful catalysts for genuine, lasting change. The Virgo New Moon, with its exquisite discernment, is the perfect container for this kind of clarity. Let Saturn show you what needs to go, so you can plant seeds in real soil.

And here's the grace: Hasta Nakshatra gives you the practical intelligence to actually do something with what you discover. Saturn's truth + Hasta's dexterity = transformation you can touch.

♃♂  The Exalted Jupiter & Debilitated Mars Conjunction

This is the most electrically charged alignment of this New Moon — and the one most worth sitting with.

In Cancer, two very different planets are occupying the same space: Jupiter, exalted and magnificent — overflowing with wisdom, generosity, and spiritual grace — and Mars, debilitated and uncertain, stripped of his usual fire and forward momentum. Jupiter is at his most powerful in Cancer. Mars is at his most vulnerable.

Think of it this way: a wise elder and an impulsive young warrior are sharing the same room. The warrior wants to charge. The elder says, "Sit down. Think. There's a better way." The tension between them is real — but so is the gold in the outcome if Mars chooses to listen.

In your own life, you may feel this as a surge of desire to act, push, and force results — paired with an inner wisdom that knows timing and intuition will serve you far better than aggression right now. Studies in mind-body medicine suggest that impulsive decision-making under emotional stress may undermine exactly the long-term outcomes we most want. Jupiter's expansive, nurturing counsel in Cancer is the moderating force — available to all of us, if we slow down enough to hear it.

On a physical level, Cancer governs the stomach, breasts, and lymphatic system. This conjunction may be asking you to nourish deeply: warm, digestible foods, adequate rest, and herbs that support gentle detoxification. Think ginger tea, chamomile, licorice root, and turmeric golden milk. Let your body be as well-considered as your decisions.

☿♀  Mercury & Venus in Libra — The Silver Lining

If Saturn's opposition and the Mars–Jupiter tension have you feeling the weight of this New Moon, here is where you exhale.

Both Mercury and Venus are in Libra — and the energy they bring is nothing short of exquisite. Mercury in Libra is eloquent, balanced, and gifted at finding the words that build bridges rather than walls. Venus in her own sign is luminous: she wants beauty, harmony, pleasure, and meaningful exchange. She is thriving here, and she wants you to thrive too.

Together, they offer something the rest of this sky urgently needs: grace in communication, beauty in connection, and the reminder that elegance and truth are not mutually exclusive. This is a stunning time for honest, heartfelt conversations — the kind where you say the thing you've been holding back, beautifully, without apology and without aggression. It is also deeply creative energy, favouring art, music, writing, and any work that requires aesthetic judgment.

From a holistic health perspective, this Venus–Mercury pairing in Libra may support the kidneys, adrenal glands, and skin — all governed by Libra. Hydration is key. So is nervous system regulation: meditation, sound healing, acupuncture, and time in natural beauty — a forest, a garden, the ocean — may be especially restorative right now.

🌿  Holistic Practices for This New Moon

Ritual & Intention: At the New Moon, light a white or deep green candle. Write three intentions that balance ambition with honesty — one for what you are building, one for what you are releasing, and one for how you wish to show up in the world. Place them under moonlight or on your altar overnight.

Nourishment: Favour warm, grounding, easily digestible foods this week — soups, steamed roots, and warming spices like cumin, coriander, fennel, and ginger. Avoid cold, raw, or heavy foods that tax digestion under this Cancer–Virgo influence.

Movement: Yin yoga, Qi Gong, and slow walks in nature honour both Virgo's service to the body and Hasta's wisdom of the hands. Use your hands: cook, garden, create, massage. Avoid overexertion — debilitated Mars asks that we conserve fire wisely.

Mind & Spirit: The Saturn opposition calls for unflinching but gentle self-inquiry. Try a guided journaling practice focused on the question: "What is one truth I have been avoiding, and what becomes possible when I face it?" Sit with your answer. Let Virgo's clarity and Hasta's precision do their sacred work.

The October 10 New Moon is not asking you to be perfect. It is asking you to be precise. To use your remarkable hands — and your even more remarkable discernment — to build something that is truly, unapologetically yours.

The sky, in all its complexity this October, is conspiring in your favour. Saturn keeps you honest. Jupiter holds you wise. Mercury and Venus keep you beautiful. And Hasta — sweet, gifted Hasta — reminds you that the most extraordinary things are built one careful, intentional movement at a time.

Plant well. Build with love. Trust the stars.

In the ancient traditions of India, China, and Tibet, the breath was understood as the very vehicle of life force — prana, qi, lung. Healers, mystics, and physicians across thousands of years recognized that the quality of the breath determined the quality of life. Today, modern science is catching up with extraordinary speed, revealing that conscious control of our breath can transform not only our lungs, but our gut, our sleep, our mood, our nervous system, and our connection to something greater than ourselves. Let’s dive into breathwork; it may be one of the most powerful and accessible health tools available to you right now.

With cosmic blessings,

Lucy Liu, RD, TCM Practitioner, Healer & Vedic Astrologer
