Wondering Why It’s There?

This year, the energy of the Wood Snake invites you to shed old layers and step into a deeper connection with yourself. There’s a powerful current guiding your spiritual growth, helping you reclaim balance and confidence. If you’ve been navigating this journey while juggling the demands of work and life, know that you’re not alone. Together, we are experiencing transformation—learning to strengthen our boundaries, trust our inner wisdom, and fully embody our authentic selves.

Each month this year carries a different energetic flow, offering support in unraveling different aspects of your relationships. In April, the focus is on what you give in your relationships—when and how you offer unconditional support, when it’s safe to do so, and why setting boundaries is not only okay but essential. It’s also a time to reflect on why you might feel unable to give in certain relationships and how to navigate that with clarity and self-respect.

Why Jasmine?

Jasmine incense is burning at the entrance because this delicate yet powerful flower holds the energy of giving and letting go. It helps shift your internal state, creating more stability and empathy in your relationships.

Scent is a direct pathway to the emotional brain. Unlike thoughts, which can loop endlessly, scent works beyond the mind—freeing trapped emotions, easing self-sabotage, and making space for new, healthier patterns. Jasmine’s energetic influence works on all levels—physical, emotional, and spiritual—so your transformation isn’t just intellectual, but deeply felt.

The result? Faster release, lasting change, and a calmer, clearer you—even in the midst of chaos.

That’s why jasmine fills this space in April. In Taoist wisdom, it’s not just a pleasant aroma—it’s a tool for self-inquiry, helping you explore what it truly means to give and when it’s time to let go.

Clearing the Energy You Carry

This month, I’m also incorporating sandalwood for clarity and palo santo for clearing negative energy, bringing you closer to your own spirituality.

Why? Because the energy of others—your coworker’s stress, your partner’s mood, even a stranger’s tension in the coffee line—can cling to you like static. By midday, your boundaries blur, your confidence wavers, and that familiar whisper creeps in: Shouldn’t I be able to handle this?

That weight isn’t yours to carry. These scents help clear the lingering energy that isn’t serving you so that when you step into this space, you can focus solely on yourself.

So go ahead—breathe in the jasmine as you walk through the door. Let it remind you that your energy is sacred. And if you see the bell at the entrance, give it a ring. It’s a simple yet powerful way to shake off any lingering negativity and reclaim your space.

The Year of the Wood Snake isn’t about adding more to your plate. It’s about alchemy—turning self-sacrifice into self-sovereignty.

Let jasmine be your reminder: Your energy is precious. Protect it, honor it, and let yourself shine—because the world doesn’t just need you to accommodate. It needs you to radiate.
