🔥 Welcome to a season of refinement


Feburary 23, 2026

Cheers to a new day Star,

Wow, there's a fresh new energy around us! Can you feel it? Something has shifted and I'm feeling very energized and clear. I'll be honest the past two weeks before Feburary 17 (Lunar New Year/ Mardi Gras/Ring of Fire Eclipse) I was not feeling like myself. I was shedding my final year of the wood snake skin and it was my own ego and old idenitity that was connected to all the things I had lost.

I know that I am not alone in the mass amount of loss that has happened in 2025 to Feb 2026. From jobs to relationships, a new world is being birthed through the release of old energy.

Let us inhale possibility and exhale any old, stagnant energy that doesn't align with what we choose.

We are in a season of refinement and preperation at this time. On the edge of winter and planting our new habits, mindsets and focus for the harvest in the spring. They say April showers bring May flowers and from what I see in the astrology ahead... we have quite an April.

So now, here in Feburary let's make space and time to be still and listen within. What habits, mindsets and relationships need to be released, even if just temporarily so that we may hear the Divine with clarity? Below is message I shared for the Feburary Gospel Brunch. It was so burning so deep in me, I knew that more ears need this reminder. Listen to it and then meditate and listen within.

As Rumi says "What you seek is seeking you." That means what you're seeking already exisits. You simply need to tune to that frequency it, at all levels, your mind, body, and spirit.

Be well, love yourself, and keep listening ✨
Elayna Ayo

🌎 Good Medical News from Around the World

In January 2026, the United States has officially left the World Health Organization. I saw a video talking about all of the advancements in the medical space since the US departed and decided to do my own digging. Anyone that claims that there have been several advancements since the US has left is misrepresenting what has happened. It's only been one month. These advancements take years and any "new" developments.

World Cancer Day was February 4 and it created a convergence of cancer research discussions online, which misinformation campaigns exploited. Please be sure to do your own research when information finds you on the internet. Especially for the next few weeks, February 26 – March 20, 2026 Mercury, our planet of communication, is in retrograde in Pisces.

So here's some real news to be excited about!

❤️ Targeting the immune system could prevent future heart attacks, Cambridge-led trial suggests

🩸 A groundbreaking multicenter trial has shown that automated insulin delivery (AID) systems can substantially improve glucose control in adults with insulin-treated Type 2 diabetes

🫁 Study finds digital self-management asthma program significantly improves symptom control in adults

🧘🏽‍♀️ Virtual Reality Meditation Can Alleviate Depression And Anxiety Symptoms: A new study from Texas A&M University finds immersive VR therapy can also increase control of emotions such as anger and sadness.

If you don't have a VR headset you can still use audio meditation to get great results. I have several free meditations on the Insight Timer App.

The Relax & Remix journal: Practice Self-Empowerment & Accountability

I created this tool for my own self discovery in 2020 and I STILL use it! When I don't use it I often find myself drifting off into old mental and behavior patterns. This journal is a resting place at the start and end of the day to get me in the practice of self-empowerment and self-accountability.

  • Understand your baseline: how you are using your time and energy
  • Experiment: try new identities and approaches
  • Map out your journey: plan your week ahead of time to help keep your priorities, your priorities
  • Move from feeling stuck to alignment, not on someone elses terms, on yours!

Create your rhythm. Track your truth. Remix your reality.
