Spring and wood

March 24, 2026 by Lukas Rowland

A wet street in the evening reflects an overhead streetlight. The sidewalks are snowy with bootprints and the cloudy sky in the background goes from dark blue down to smoldering gold, backlighting a couple of buildings into silhouette

Spring has arrived on the calendar, and I am honestly a little impatient for it to feel like it outside. Reflections on Wood energy, promotions for tarot meditation and massage until March 31st!

Fat Tuesday: Heartburn

March 11, 2026March 10, 2026 by Lukas Rowland

A bearded person in t-shirt and sweatpants lies with their back on the floor and their legs up on a sofa, eyes closed, and one hand resting at the bottom of their ribcage

When I’m anxious, I often get heartburn. A walk through my experience, an eating meditation, and housekeeping notices (including a new location!).

It can be tough transitioning back to Normal Time in the darkest and coldest part of the year. Winter is a great time to prioritize rest and introspection. 2025 rates maintained into the new year and some intentions for this blog.

Happy Holidays!

December 19, 2025 by Lukas Rowland

Four cards from the Fat Folks Tarot on a cloth: the Queen of Swords, a Black woman upon a throne leveling her pink sword toward the viewer; the Six of Pentacles, a Black woman drops a coin into waiting hands; the Two of Wands, a Black woman sits on the bottom step with one wand behind while she holds another and looks into the distance; and the Ten of Cups, a hairy-legged woman kicks up one leg joyfully while reposing in a giant goblet

This holiday season, remember to take time for yourself. Tarot readings available, and virtual gift certificates! Current rates and permanent discounts will be maintained into 2026.

Visualization

Visualization is a meditation tool that allows us to visit a unique and personal inner realm of calm. We can also use oracle or tarot decks to guide our meditation. STM strike news and promo reminder.

Expanding (not moving) my practice

November 5, 2025October 22, 2025 by Lukas Rowland

View of a massage table from the side, with a curtained window in the background and a set of square shelves to the left bearing decorations and baskets.

I am offering table massage at a new location, just a five-minute walk from Snowdon métro! My Sunday Scaries meditation on October 26th is open for booking, limited to 12 participants. Reminder of pet sitting dates October 30-November 2.

Overloaded

September 30, 2025 by Lukas Rowland

Sculpture of a left ear against concrete; it is made of vertical slices of curved material, giving the ear a vertically pixelated look

I recently had my sense of hearing (and balance!) thrown way out of whack. Naturally, I reflected on it as it happened. Important announcement on 2026 service rates in the post.

Meditation practice

August 12, 2025 by Lukas Rowland

View from behind a Black person sitting cross-legged and partially out of frame, with their right wrist resting on their knee and thumb and forefinger making a circle. They are on the beach with the crashing surf visible in the background

I have started a personal meditation practice to see the benefits for myself, and will soon be able to offer meditation coaching as a new service.
