Stand in my Center

by
A Black woman stands with eyes closed, bathed in warm beams of light, her face soft and serene. Pink tones swirl gently around her, echoing the energy of protection, grounding, and inner return. She appears centered, rooted, and guided, embodying the calm strength of a woman standing fully in her power.

Stand in my Center a living practice to ground my body, protect my energy and call all of me back into the present moment. This writing is a steadying point. It is a moment to breathe, return to myself and strengthen my field before I step into any space. It is a blend of grounding, … Read more

ShaaniCreates Patreon

by
A luminous golden sphere rests at the center of an intricate mandala, glowing like polished brass and surrounded by sculpted layers of teal, cerulean, deep turquoise and midnight blue that ripple outward with ornate gold detailing and jewel-like droplets in amber and lapis. The image carries the energy of grounded clarity, emotional depth and embodied truth that defines the ShaaniCreates Patreon. The radiant gold reflects inner strength and leadership, while the flowing blues mirror reflection, somatic awareness and the quiet honesty that shapes the space. The mandala feels alive with intention and speaks to the way the work on ShaaniCreates Patreon moves from the center outward, steady and true.

A New Beginning at ShaaniCreates I created my Patreon five years ago and, for a long time, I let it stay quiet. I wasn’t ready to share myself in the ways my body was asking me to. I didn’t have the clarity, the language or the capacity to open a space like this and hold … Read more

Taking Up Space

by
A cozy living room glows with golden lamplight as a young Black girl sits on the carpet, surrounded by crayons, stickers, stationery, and playful scraps of paper. Her eyes sparkle with curiosity as waves of vibrant energy in red, gold, blue, and pink spiral through the air like unseen magic made visible. This sacred space becomes a portal of imagination, protection, and expansion, where creativity and spirit intertwine, and a future self begins to form from dreams scribbled in color and joy.

Taking Up Space One of my ongoing lessons in life is about taking up space. I didn’t have my own bedroom for part of my childhood, but the desire for a space of my own was always alive in me. The carpet in our living room became my magical playground. The space under the dining … Read more

When She Leads Me into the Fire

by
A Black woman sits cross-legged on a soft surface, bathed in radiant golden-orange light. Her eyes are looking downward in focused stillness. Her hands rest near her womb in an intuitive, centered gesture, suggesting presence, breath, and inner ritual. Her skin glows with warmth as the light casts soft shadows across her body, evoking themes of transformation, ancestral connection, and embodied clarity. The overall tone reflects emotional resilience, the power of pausing, and the sacred act of staying present in the fire.

When She Leads Me into the Fire I’ve been moving through heavy waves. I’m facing conflict, protecting my peace, and sitting with the tension between disappointment and fulfillment. Scarcity and abundance. Boundaries and connection. All of these energies are alive in me. I’m reflecting, breathing and living through them right now. Some days, I feel … Read more

When Things Go Missing, I Come Back to Me

by
Swirls of vivid gold move like breath across a glowing landscape of purple, blue, and magenta—an abstract reflection of grounding, presence, and the sacred return to self when the world feels scattered.

When Things Go Missing, I Come Back to Me To slow down, ground my energy, and reconnect with myself in moments when I feel scattered, frazzled, or out of sync—especially when I misplace something. This is a ritual of remembrance, where I soften into presence, receive insight, and return to my inner rhythm. This Saturday … Read more
