Showers and cars: The sacred portals of everyday life

Some of my clearest downloads don’t come when I’m sitting in meditation or pulling cards.
They come when I’m in the shower.
Or driving in silence.

No distractions. Just me, my breath, and whatever wants to find me.

I’ve come to realize these are the in-between spaces.
The liminal zones.
Places where the mind softens and the spirit speaks.

Both of these sacred portals seem to swirl open some sort of intuitive vortex
where my body relaxes and my inner knowing rushes in.

It’s often mid-rinse or mid-highway that I’ll get the answer I wasn’t consciously asking for.
An insight about a client.
A whisper from my guides.
The next sentence to something I’ve been writing.
Or a “that’s it!” moment about something I’ve been energetically chewing on for days.

These moments have taught me something important about clarity.
It doesn’t come from trying.
It comes from being.

It comes when you’re relaxed and ready to receive — not grasping or forcing.
For me, that usually happens when I’m not rushed… when I have spaciousness…
when I’m not “thinking,” but simply enjoying the moment.

And of course… it usually happens when I can’t write it down.

I joke that Spirit waits until I’m fully unavailable — wet hair, driving 70 mph — to drop the most brilliant downloads.
It’s like Spirit is saying:
“Trust that you’ll know what you need to know, when you need to know it.”

Let the wisdom arrive… and then let it go.
No gripping. No forcing. No scrambling for your Notes app.
Just trust that what matters will stick — because it’s meant for you.
And that you’ll reconnect with it at the perfect time.

Lately, this truth has been landing deeper and deeper for me:
As much as meditation is important, what’s even more important is how we bring the
presence of meditation into the body and into everyday life.

This is what embodiment is really about — not just floating in the ethers or having morning rituals,
but feeling present in your human body throughout the day.
Meditation is powerful. I still love it. I teach it. I practice it.
But I’ve noticed in myself and with clients — it’s not enough to meditate in the morning
and then move through the day disconnected and overstimulated.

With so many distractions (hello, phones, tablets, watches, rings…), what truly shifts your energy is presence.
Taking a breath break.
Returning to your body.
Noticing your feet on the ground.
Choosing intentionality again and again.

So I’m not saying don’t meditate. I’m saying:
Let your meditation move with you.

Bring the sacred into the ordinary.
Bring the stillness into your stride.
And you might just start hearing the whispers of wisdom
in the most unexpected places — like showers and cars.
