NOTE: There’s a new section on my blog called MONIKA IN DIALOGUE . Alas, I haven’t yet figured out how to make this section send emails to current subscribers—so I’m posting the link for now. Bear with me until I figure it out… (I will, for sure). This week is a good anniversary for me. On July 30th, when I will possibly drop this newsletter, I’ll be celebrating five years since I moved from New York City (Williamsburg), after 27 years, to Miami Beach without knowing what was going to happen. Yes, yes, we were in the middle of the craziness. It had been a couple of months—or three—since I was in New York and unable to go out and lead a life of tranquility, because not only had the whole collective kind of collapsed into this nervous breakdown and fear about dying, but there I was already taking care of my body. In order to keep my immune system sound, I had started a protocol detoxing my body from alcohol—not heavy drinking, but I would enjoy a good wine here and there. But that starts adding up in your liver, your gallbladder. So I did a protocol, very intense, where I lost 35 pounds. I mean, I could not tell I had 35 pounds more—they had been adding up through the years. Anyway, I did the cleanse that took overall approximately six months. I moved here—here is Miami Beach—and just trusted that all will align, and it did! And here I am, celebrating. This week I’m also contemplating what exactly is coming to a close, especially in light of the current astrology. There’s Mars being around the South Node of the Moon in Virgo, and the Moon is there today. How am I really embodying this clearing, this flush that I’m doing with many things in my life now? I’ve been feeling sometimes a little bit sad, but it’s a kind of sadness that relates more to closing cycles than literally me crying about it. It’s just acknowledging that there’s a big cycle that has just finished. Right now I’m walking over the bridge—Venetian Islands. I started in the last four months to do a very deep protocol on relating to my body in a really different way. Virgo, sixth house, relates to the habits, the little things that you’re not seeing—especially when you are stagnated. Stagnation. What about it? In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), stagnation relates to the lack of movement and the lack of circulation in the blood. Therefore, when you stagnate and the circulation doesn’t flow, you feel lethargic, digestion is not flowing, you feel tired, and in a way, you start accumulating anger, because the liver and gallbladder’s energy regulate the emotion of anger. And anger is a yang energy that wants to come out, no matter what. I’ve been working on that, and this week I noticed it even more because the stagnation was very deep. Therefore, these are sort of relational activities that I’ve been doing—I had to go deeper. I added more red light therapy. I added smooth movements in my body that include hypopressives and some fascia movement, brushing, and vibrational plate with humming. All very subtle, coordinated with long walks, short swims, and deep, deep, deep meditations and contemplations. I decided to start again Bob Monroe’s Gateway Experience from the beginning and go up in crescendo. Having practiced it since January 2024 and seen enormous results, I am being slightly more intentional in scope, aligned with my frequency as I comprehend dimensional relativity. So instead of formulating a plan of action, I am slowly in alignment through instinctual magnetism and intentional emotional wavelength resonance. The next month, we will have two eclipses on the 7th and 21st of September, and Saturn goes back to Pisces. Uranus stations retrograde, and much later Neptune goes back to Pisces. We’re going to start having horror images of all the things that we forgot to do before the big changes come in. The deadline for all the changes is February 20th, 2026, but that doesn’t mean that you’re going to start working on that on January 2026. This is the moment to actually look into what’s stagnated. Try to make a routine or a habit that will be very wholesome for your kind of frequency that needs to be realigned in your life. The other thing I want to say: 2006 was the last time the nodal axis was in the same place (Virgo/Pisces). I have to say that I went through a lot of cleansing back then—a lot of fasting, a lot of understanding the edges of my body. I believe Saturn was in Leo, going through my sixth house then. Now we have Jupiter in Cancer, same house. So I don’t have to go through extreme cleanses. I don’t want that in my body anymore. I just want to have an expansion of this frequency of caring. But it comes from a more adult and responsible way. The discipline is there, but it’s not this blind discipline that is asking for more than it should. It’s more like a wise discipline that knows how to nudge this energy. ⸻ Reflection and Release If you look back into different kinds of periods—first, five years ago—it’s the end of July 2020. Had y
