Sacred Place in Space...
Dear Sacred Friends,
As we move deeper into March, the architecture of our days is physically changing. The sun is staying with us longer and the "blue hour" of evening is stretching out, offering us more time to breathe before the stars appear.
I am thankful for this return of the light. It acts as a natural invitation to step out of the shadows of winter and start envisioning the "expanded energy" we want to carry into the rest of the year. When we align our self-care with the sun's rhythm, we aren't just following a season, we are recalibrating our entire system for renewal.
🔬 The "Why" (The Serotonin Reset)
The connection between sunlight and our mood isn't just a feeling. It is a sophisticated chemical architecture within the brain.

The 2026 Insight: Research from The Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute has shown that levels of serotonin, the hormone associated with boosting mood and helping a person feel calm and focused, are directly affected by the amount of sunlight an individual is exposed to. Even a 15 minute "Sacred Pause" in the morning sun can trigger an immediate release of serotonin, providing a biological foundation for clarity and confidence.
Today, I am specifically thankful for the power of a 15-minute sacred pause. For over 135 days now, I have been pausing to vibrate the Morning Call mantra before my day begins. It has become the cornerstone of my internal sanctuary.
With the onset of spring, I am expanding this ritual by adding another 15-minute sacred pause to collect the beneficial effects of the sun's rays. Taking this time to simply "be" in the light is a beautiful way to honor the season of renewal.
What is one "glimmer" of light, either literal or metaphorical, that you are noticing this week? Whether it is a breakthrough in your work or the way the sun hits your favorite chair, hit reply and share it with me. I love hearing how you are blooming.
With Gratitude and peace,
Donna Alessi
A sanctuary for breath, rest and renewal
