Energy Essence – Carolina Russo Art

If you’re reading this after some time, welcome back.
Whether you’ve been here for years or are just finding your way in, I’m grateful you’re here, sharing this quiet moment with me.

The Winter Solstice arrives softly.
It does not announce itself loudly or demand attention.
It comes gently, asking us to pause, to breathe, and to remember.

This is the longest night of the year, a sacred threshold where darkness reaches its fullness and light begins, almost imperceptibly, to return. For centuries, this moment has been honored as a time of rest, reflection, and gentle renewal.

If you’ve been feeling slower lately, more inward, more reflective, you are not behind. You are in rhythm.

A Different Way to Welcome the Solstice

Rather than “doing” more, the Winter Solstice invites us to be with what is. Here are a few gentle, less common ways to honor this sacred turning point without pressure or perfection.

1. Sit with a single candle and nothing else
Instead of journaling or meditating with intention, simply light a candle and sit with it in silence for a few minutes. Watch the flame. Let your breath soften. Imagine this small light as the quiet truth within you that never went out, even during darker seasons.

2. Clean one small space with reverence
Choose one drawer, one shelf, or one corner of your home. As you clear it, do so slowly and intentionally, thanking what you release and welcoming spaciousness. This simple act mirrors the solstice shift, making room for new light without forcing change.

3. Speak one word for the coming cycle
Rather than setting resolutions or long intentions, choose a single word that feels supportive for the months ahead. Let it arise naturally. You don’t need to explain it or share it. This word becomes a gentle companion as the light returns.

4. Place your hands over your heart before sleep
On the night of the solstice, place your hands over your heart and take a few deep breaths. No affirmations, no requests. Just presence. Let your body know it is safe to rest and restore.

A Quiet Season of Creation

This solstice finds me in a season of gentle creation and integration. Alongside my Reiki practice, I am continuing to work behind the scenes on Energy Essence, allowing it to take shape slowly and organically, just as it is meant to. Like the returning light, healing and new offerings often grow best when they are given time, space, and care.

Thank you for being here for reading, reflecting, and walking this quieter season with me. Your presence, whether visible or silent, is deeply felt.

May this Winter Solstice bring you:

deep rest
subtle clarity
and a gentle remembrance of your inner light

The days will begin to brighten again, one breath, one moment at a time.
As Christmas and the holiday season approach, may you be surrounded by warmth, softness, and gentle reminders of what truly matters.

With warmth and gentle light wishing you a wonderful Solstice,
Carolina

Thank You!

“Where Reiki meets art, and light becomes form Energy Essence is coming”

Hello dear friends,
It’s been a little while since my last post, and today I feel inspired to reconnect and share something meaningful with you. I’ve been immersed in beautiful creative work that I’m finally almost ready to begin sharing. I’m currently working behind the scenes on a new part of my journey Energy Essence, a space that blends my creative soul with my spiritual path.

You may have noticed that over the past months, my art has been weaving more and more with energy work, especially through my Reiki practice. This evolution has been a natural path for me, an expansion of the same soul energy that moves through my paintings and creations, now also expressed through healing, spiritual tools, and channeled messages.

That’s why I’m so happy to gently introduce you to something new I’ve been working on
Energy Essence a sacred space that blends my creative soul with my spiritual path. A beautiful space dedicated to Distance Reiki, Light Language transmissions, healing jewelry, intuitive creations, and the energetic art that flows through me.

This new offering is taking shape as dedicated pages within my current website, because I believe that all aspects of what I do whether visual art or energy work are deeply interconnected.

Energy Essence is the spiritual heart of my creative journey, a gentle unfolding of light and intention. I warmly invite you to walk this path with me. Soon, these new pages will blossom within the Carolina Russo Art website a sacred space woven into the whole, where energy and art meet in harmony. You’ll find it nestled within the main menu, ready to be discovered.

In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing more about the meaning behind Energy Essence, its offerings, and how you can connect with it. I’ll also be opening up for distance Reiki Sessions, sharing new spiritual creations, and offering words of guidance from the realms I connect with.

For now, this is just a soft whisper, a gentle invitation to feel into the energy of what’s coming. If your heart resonates, stay tuned.

I look forward to sharing more as everything aligns and unfolds. Thank you for being here whether you’ve followed my art for a while or are just arriving.

You’re warmly invited to follow my new Instagram page @energyessencereiki, where I’ll soon begin sharing sacred insights, Reiki-infused creations, and Arcturian channeled messages. It’s still quiet there now, but the energy is already building. I’d love to have you there from the very beginning.

With love and light,
Carolina

Wishing you a wonderful weekend and Happy Mother’s Day!

Thank You!
