Okay, multiple reports from multiple sources: It wasn’t as easy this month as many had anticipated. Change can be easy, it really depends on where you place your focus.

Your Inner Truth

There are several factors… as usual. What causes energetic turbulance? The main answer is:

• INCONGRUENCE ~ This is the umbrella answer. Sub-categories are:
  • To Self: resulting in mixed emotions, fear of rejection, lack of self respect, external referencing, feeling paralyzed…
  • To Your Own Choices: resulting in second guessing, failure to realize your goals, feeling betrayed by life, confusion as to why things aren’t unfolding as anticipated…
  • To Your Ideals: resulting in low self worth, bitterness and jaded feelings towards ‘the system,’ justified, dis-empowered…

Sure there’s more, but lets just chew on that for a bit. Instead, lets consider the ‘Wild Card’ factors:

• Your level of self-awareness – The stakes get higher and choices can be both easier and harder depending on your congruence
• Your level of education – This is not about having a PhD, although that can have implications of its own. Possibly unexpectedly, you should be aware that there can be huge problems coming from the amount of self-help & spiritual workshopy type of information you reference.

No matter where you get your information, the most important reference point has to be yourself!

This may seem like a no-brainer and you may be saying, “Of course, I always reference within,” but I urge you to double check. When life is throwing curve balls at you, start by assessing what kind of inner talk is happening and what kinds of feelings are coming up. Clues indicating incongruence:

• You didn’t think life would be like this… and aren’t happy with the outcome.
• You feel ‘at fault’ and like if you’d been better or done some mysterious ‘right’ thing that your circumstances would be different.
• You apply principles on faith and are unhappy with the result.

These may seem wishy-washy, but that’s because the causal dynamic is just as wishy-washy. You can’t peg your identity, choices and life on a wishy-washy or ‘feel-good’ dynamic. It won’t hold up! More importantly – It won’t hold You up in times of trial… And I’m not talking about ‘being tested’ as so many esoteric teachers are fond of saying.

So, what of it? Where are the nuts & bolts of what’s going on?

The faster you can tune in => Deeply <= (and that needs to be stressed because we’re not talking about ‘feelings’ here) the faster you can feel the flow of life. ‘Life’ will still happen to you, but you will have a resilience that will keep everything from feeling like a judgment and a sentence. Life will *not* look the same and it will be a shock at first, but once you get used to operating from a place of flow, this ‘new reality’ won’t seem so foreign.

Looking forward… It looks to me to be very similar, to last month with the visual of changes / choices overlapping like shingles. You can take a ‘time out’ to assess, but the flow doesn’t seem to be affected by this much and if we compare the energy flow to water, moving with it will seem to afford more ease and grace than trying to stop mid-stream or more difficult yet, to go against the tide. Curiously, if you are moving at the same rate as the flow, you will appear to be and it will seem to you like there isn’t much de-stabilizing motion because you are ‘in synch’. A practical example would be the start of the school year: You can go with it, or decide to think about it, but school is still in session.

Since the Fork in the Road from the last update, things are a lot smoother… mostly, for most. However, it is critical to keep moving.

The Stopper is Unplugged

The reason for the change is because when sitting at the Fork in the Road, effectively an “energetic stopper” was in place, but once the choice is made, the flow begins.

A newsletter mention from early August was made of using exercise as  ‘… a tool I’m using to work with the current energy patterns.” This is powerful because:

Imagine the energy behind your choice as water. The size of your choice and impact on your life determines what size dam is in place. (Usually a fear.) Energy, like water likes to flow – in fact it is a defining principle for Health.

Time delays in making appropriate choices have 1 of 2 consequences:

1. The water / energy dries up or dissipates (= low motivation, lack of creativity, feeling stuck & tired)
2. The water / energy builds up (= feeling ‘antsy’, restless & unsettled, weight on your shoulders, overwhelm)

When the ‘dam breaks’ / or the choice is made and acted upon, it’s not unlike whitewater rafting; depending on the impact of your choice(es) on your life. In whitewater rafting, there’s a reason they give everybody a paddle and you don’t just hang on for dear life: it makes a difference!

Like the flow of life, the river will carry you down stream and you will want to influence your path (choices / attitudes / actions).

• It is useless to paddle against the river.
• It is useless hide in the bottom & pretend you are elsewhere
• It is helpful to use whatever tools you have to empower the ride.

Tools: Whereas at the fork, you’d want stillness so you have the clarity to make the best possible choice for you, this time exercise is indicated. Any exercise will do. Walk, hike, bike. Do a sport, yoga, aerobics. Do this within your limits because the energetic aim isn’t actually ‘fitness’ and pushing boundaries, it’s to facilitate the flow.

Challenging energies like doubt, fear & regret can emerge. Fitness is just a byproduct and exercise helps to ‘ground the energy’ and:

• clear your head & refocus your mind
• exhilarate your body & promote flow
• stabilize your emotions & build confidence

Interestingly, this is not a solo energy pattern. The visual reminds me of shingles where a new one starts half-way overlapping with the first. If you keep moving, you will fare much better than if you pause once you make your choice.  If you stop, you may feel knocked down by the ‘next wave’.

This energy update is a little early, but the current trend is really putting a lot of people in what seems to be a tough place.

Inner Truth

The last week or so has been incredibly challenging for so many.There have been fascinating reports of:

• Warping time – both extended & and shrinking
• Loss of energy & will to act
• Dilemmas requiring deeper Personal introspection
• Cravings for cleanses / detoxifying (!)

So, what’s happening?

3D / 4D – As described above, it’s more like symptoms than the actual issue. It’s like the tsunami that was actually caused by the earthquake.

We’ve come to an energetic fork in the road, or a pivot point. Usually we are happiest when there’s smooth and straight sailing, to have a ripple of change – and not just any change, but one with a component of choice with direct impact – can seem intimidating, especially if you don’t like the options.

What does that mean to you & how do you figure it out? (whatever ‘it’ is) There are 2 places to look:

1. To the furthest practical point on your own personal horizon. ie. Further than the issue so that you have something to guide you, like a lighthouse.
2. To the deepest place within. You won’t feel settled about any choice without going here. Superficial solutions that pacify the circumstances only still the surface waters and there can still be tremendous undercurrents creating energetic strain.

Bottom line: You need to honor Your Deepest Truth. (as always, but that’s another conversation) Characteristics:

• The main ‘emotion’ is a compassionate caring – it will never be ‘against’ someone or reactive
• It will hold benefits for All
• It will feel steady – not a rush of energy / power
• It will feel certain – Your inner Truth is not wishy-washy

Recommended tools (generally): Awareness of breath, quiet, stillness

I did recommend favored music with a faster beat to one person to get the ball rolling, but in this circumstance, he needed to ‘shift gears’ because his intention was to bridge to the next energy wave since his introspection had led him to some tough truths. This really demonstrates how, although there can be general trends, Your unique energy signature & circumstance needs to be your first priority in figuring out what tools will work for You in creating contentment.

The current supportive energies feel activated, calm and ready. Are you activated, calm and ready?… Are you tapping in to your inner resources?

Breath, Go Within, then Rise Up!

The deeper you can go within this month, the better. The energy this month is ‘widening the divide,’ so to speak. ~ It’s like super-duality. Energies noticed:

• Stronger reactions
• Changing minds
• A whole lot less relaxation than expected

Generally, these energies have been acting like gusting winds. It’s there one minute, and gone the next with rapid movement from confident to questioning leaving you with a sense of, “What the…?”

There’s momentum, then there’s hesitation.

There’s certainty, then there’s doubt.

There’s all signs indicating ‘A Go’… then there’s a red flag.

This start / stop can feel frustrating and put you on edge, but this is where the Digging Deep solution comes into play. A strong tree isn’t uprooted by gusts because it has strong roots as a foundation. Think about your Cultural, Familial, Spiritual roots. This energy is Root Chakra opportunity happening!

So, where’s the relief? => Where it always is: 5D+ <=  It’s just that we need to remember to honor that which has supported us in the past.

What is quite interesting is that there seems to be a movement (back) to your deeper values – not that you lost them, but when life is happening and you are out buying groceries, it’s easy to forget to Honor the Moment.

It can be more on the physical side such as:

• Athletics & Nutrition (eating right)
• Routines & systems
• Observation of the growth of plants

It can be more on the etheric side:

• Prayer, meditation or mantra
• The mystic imagery of day-dreaming with clouds
• Consideration of breath connecting everything

The point is that there is real growth here and it has the potential to re-orient us to outside interests or inner perspective and / or a good balance of both so long as we keep our core reference as the priority. Refer to comfortable and supportive tools already at your disposal. That will set you up with a stronger foundation for August which is feeling to be more of exploration & freedom in essence.

There seems to be a lot going on, but don’t be fooled. It is the same dynamic with multiple outlets.

Recalibrating, De-Sensitizing & Land Legs (Overwhelm)

Maybe this is how overwhelm occurs… It looks like only one thing and it’s a continuation of a trend more than anything new. So, I’m almost inclined to discount it which would be unfair because so much seems to be going on – and on the practical level, it is.

What’s up? What kind of things are happening?

1. Apathy & disconnected emotion
2. Results of poor follow through
3. “Pop-up’s”
4. Anticipated happenings

Apathy is the worst of all in my opinion. It’s much harder to create something out of nothing and usually that numb feeling overlays some pretty big stuff which can be hard to look at honestly. This is not optimal when working with any circumstance because without that emotional presence, poor judgment is usually the result. It’s not just inconvenient or out-of-touch, but downright dangerous with consequences into the future. Just because you can’t feel it doesn’t mean there are no consequences.

Follow-through. This actually has more to do with responsibility and minding your own business. That is not meant in a ‘don’t be nosey’ way, but in recognition that You have the consequences for Your life and You have the ability to influence / choose / decide / change things. If you rely on others to take care of your business, it might feel good to be taken care of – but only until you have to accept the outcome. No empowerment there.

Pop-up Events. Life happens and it’s not going to be perfect, but it is in the imperfection that we find peace. The pop-up’s reported are the same as any other time unexpected events happen – seemingly random things that need dealing with in some immediacy. See what I mean about almost discounting it?  (It’s just another minor crisis. Two personal examples: a flood & a graduation.) Also of note, it isn’t just crisis, there are good pop-up’s too.

Anticipated events happening. This is great in that you can feel as prepared as possible, but add everything else on your plate and the overwhelm can begin. With overwhelm comes a desire to escape. With the desire to escape comes the mind chatter validating the choice to act. With a validated action (coming from overwhelm) comes a glamorized, righteous response… Then people usually call me.

How long will it last? This is seed energy, which means that it doesn’t have to last if the seeds you plant are of responsibility and personal integrity. On the flip side, as mentioned above, apathy reinforced is a tough to move out of and often will take a major catalytic event to motivate a shift.

What is the deeper dynamic?

• Energetic re-calibration and geometric alignment with New Energy. The New Energy is simply a life progression thing. You can put your finger on it if you want, but it won’t change / solve the flow of life.
• It’s like having the landscape being swapped out from under your feet while you are walking on it. Some will experience a large landscape change, others more minor. Either way, you need to get your new ‘Land Legs’
• With the enfoldment of these experiences, there is a de-sensitizing process. Everything has to have a ‘first’ and once that’s over, it has more of a ‘been there – done that – no problemo‘ feel.  You will be able to look back and say, “Ah yes, I was so naive back then. I handle this with way more ease now.”

The advice is the same as last month. Keep your focus on each step and deal with things as they come up for the most grace & ease. (And don’t always buy your own story.) Don’t judge yourself, but consider the terms: responsibility, integrity, accountability. Make a clear boundary for yourself and proceed.

The dynamics observed for this month are a bit crazy… and it looks to move through June as well. It’s actually been quite hard to sit down and write this although the pressure to write has been here with me for 2 weeks. I’ve been catching glimpses for roughly a month prior to that and based on my observations & client communication, it makes me want to say: “Bumpy Road Ahead!” (Actually we are already on it.)

Act, React, Respond & Adapt

It’s a bit harder this month because it’s not all ‘Rainbows & Unicorns’ to quote a client, (I love that saying!) and it may feel like you’ve been walking to the beat of a different drummer, to steal another cliche.

It’s all about:

• adaptability & responsiveness
• resourcefulness & creativity
• choice & presence

Let’s look more closely at this:

People, news, events… look to pop out of the blue. It’s unexpected occurrences, bends in the road, obstacles and re-directions.

There can be compounded drama as our fears make it ultra personal and dis-proportionate. There are a lot of magnetic forces and you will find the straightest path through all that is going on by keeping your head down and dealing with whatever is coming. This makes it easier to learn as you go and be able to reflect back on the wisdom gained. Strangely, often the straight line takes us on the most direct / fastest route, but it doesn’t seem like this will result in a time compression / reduction (sorry), just an increase in grace & ease.

You are also encouraged towards a movement back to the basics and your foundational tools. This can be your use of Exercise, your Sacred practice or *Whatever has given you strength in the past. In a sense it helps stabilize you like lowering your center of gravity, physically speaking ~ like bracing yourself. From this perspective you can adapt and boomerang the energies to reinforce your uniqueness, your gifts and your interactions in an empowering and fulfilling way.

What does all of this mean in real terms? That’s harder to say although there seem to be 3 trends:

• Health
• Environment
• Responsibility

The good news is that Relationships don’t seem to be a focus right now except as a peripheral to the above.

What is also interesting to me is that I’m seeing a significant group of people who already seem to have their ‘sea legs’ and although this is happening for them too, it is as if they hardly notice. They aren’t exempt from the dynamic, they are just better at navigating it.

As a bit of a side note: Someone mentioned to me about ‘Mercury Retrograde’… and I’m not an astrologer, so I don’t really know what that means, but I do know that within the Law of Free Will, we can choose to proceed along the way with the maximum amount of Dignity that we can muster ~ not just now, but always.

There are a lot of opportunities to develop flexibility and Dance with the flow of events. You have your mind, your ability to choose, your rich emotions and your experiences, all of them, add to the tapestry of your life ~ and it’s beautiful.

Breathe and know that this will pass, like every other trend.

This has been an incredible week! The sparks started flying on the 6th and it’s as if the flood gates have opened up since then! People have been reaching out to try to hang on and working hard at ”boomeranging” the energy to harness and direct it.

Sparks & Acceleration

There were an excessive amount of energetic sparks flying on the 6th and it really got my attention… It takes a fair bit to get my attention these days as I’m in the midst of a personal creation process which fills my time, to say the least. So, let’s break this down:

The sparks ignite at the moment of release whereas the build up has typically gone on for at least a little while. Think static electricity. These sparks have different color depending on the aspect or characteristic the change. For example:

• Blue indicates release or rapid change (good and bad)
• Red is passion (good and bad)
• Yellow is ideas (good and bad)

You get the idea.

I used the word ‘release‘ and also above I used the words ‘flood gates.’ It is important to say what it’s NOT: You were not holding anything back that you needed to ‘let go of.’           This is an important point of distinction because the sparks aren’t linear. Otherwise I’d see lines at the least or a process instead.

Also mentioned is ‘build up‘ and that is really no different than the build up to any other event. To go to work, you have to ‘build up‘ to the moment you walk out your front door… ideally you will have taken care of hygiene, food, and appropriate attire. Less ideally (in my opinion), you stroll around in your pajamas as seems to be the fashion these days. So, you can see that it is a natural process rather than the kind of pressure build up as in a dam.

It is closer to transformation or activation or birth or emergence. Even with the blue above, it is NOT about ‘processing’ stuff or a conversion of thoughts.

It is NEW energies, beliefs, insights, flare ups… This in itself can be a tough concept because almost all of what we know is ‘laddered information,’ meaning that we relate to it through something else and build on that. (In school they work on strengthening that to make learning easier.)

The word ‘release‘ is only applicable in that the NEW info can’t co-exist in the same context as the old. Imagine realizing that the earth was round. You can believe only one of the thoughts: flat or round… And, realizing the earth is round changes *everything about: exploration and discovery, shipping, safety concerns, tidal observations… So, in that sense you’d have to ‘let some stuff go,’ but it’s not the central point.

The central point (the spark) occurs the moment you have the realization. The rest is just a cascade effect.

The energy flow that we’re in is the cascade effect from whatever opened up for you at the time of the sparks. It kind of reminds me of going down a water slide because the event / incident / insight provoking sparks change everything. You can’t go back up the waterslide any more than you can un-know that the world is round, to keep with our examples.

This is unique for each person because the scenarios in your life will set you up for particular directions & growth and you can’t see what you’re not ready to see… Actually, you can but it just won’t be meaningful or make a difference to you: it is similar to showing a baby a briefcase full of a million dollars.

So, what do you do about it? Think about the water slide example… You’ve got choices:

1. Lay down and make it a hell of a ride! (my choice)
2. Sit up and pace yourself (recommended if you are stressed)
3. Flail wildly and try to get off (not recommended as it will just cause problems)

In pacing yourself, I’d recommend going ‘back to the basics’ – whatever that means to you. Return to a foundational level rather than trying to find a new answer at this point. After all, you are going down the chute – it’s not the time to go shopping for a new swimming suit.

You are never alone and consider these dawnings opportunity to ”lower your center of gravity” to create more stability in your life. In the Grande Scheme of Things, it looks like it can pass pretty quickly, not unlike a waterslide and you definitely get choice as to whether you will do it again or not.

Even with the current seminar series in full swing, I couldn’t not notice the energies of this last week. This is a request for feedback on any exceptional events / occurrences / changes that have been going on for You.

Window of Opportunity

This has been utterly fascinating since I’ve been noticing a pressure / flow for the last month or so… I’d say into early February. (You can check back issues of this newsletter.) For me it has been building in Gratitude and of course since I follow my nose, I chose to amplify that sense with the events and choices in front of me and I consciously put on my ‘gratitude colored glasses.’

Well, it is reaching epic proportion where people in general are looking *so good to me! And my family is getting a bit tired of it – except my husband. In real terms, my boys just roll their eyes when I come at them for another hug… and they’ve taken to running away… but not far (and it’s become a great way to unify them when they are bickering – sorry for the aside).

Their response made me suspect that the energy movement might be on more of a personal level, causing me to largely ignore it as far as a radar blip of energetic signatures… except that the energetic influences on others in my more immediate field started showing ‘signs and symptoms’ of this same frequency.

It’s not a necessarily a love fest of hugs, but more like an invisible door(s) that we chose to pass through. I noticed it last about a week (we’re still in the tailings of the energy, but not for long since it’s pretty much done) with the cresting point feeling strongest around last Wednesday March 10. It was just after that when I noticed the largest ‘whoosh’ of manifestation in my life and the reverberations of decisions made and repercussions waving through people.

It has been another period of more than usual crisis calls from people looking for bearings & assistance in clearing the fog. It was absolutely amazing to be able to watch them, unassisted by me except in the wings as an observer, literally choose one door and then *change their minds mid-stride*, once the energies had *already been engaged*.

This is rare.

This is also not easy. So, Congratulations to those who are choosing their Higher Vision as the guiding light in creating the lives they want. As a general statement, there is never a better moment to do it than NOW, and your courage to continue doing this is to be commended.

This brought up the topic of where to place your attention. It has to be sort of divided and united on three general fronts:

1. The Higher Vision: Soul stuff such as: “To be you” & “To help the world”
2. The Horizon Point: Your goals such as: career, relationship, money, health
3. The Now: You are where you are with what you have. These are your tools and where you have to start in taking the first step towards your goals.

To be distorted on these fronts would end up as ‘pie in the sky’ dreaming, Longing or the shadow manifestation, ungroundedness.

To be single minded on one of these fronts would leave you self-centered, a dreamer, lost feeling.

To be aligned with these three will speed manifestation, fulfillment, wisdom.

It looks like we just came through a door and I’m curious as to what direction you took, how it affected you and the decisions you made and why. Feel free to post on the blog so the reference can be clear for more people at large. If you’re shy, you can post anonymously or reply to me.

Now that the answers from the last newsletter “Follow and Empower the Flow” have been investigated, there is natural and appropriate to draw attention to the flow and movement.

Water imagery is coming to mind (much as I’ve been trying to shake it). I would prefer an air or wind imagery given the tree examples of last month, but water it is. When I try to force it, instead of what I want to see, I see a cooperation of earth, air and water. Cooperation is good and I’d like to investigate it further…

Water, Air & Earth ~ Eternity Through You

The thing is, the current energies feel like more than just a potentiality. It feels like there is already something…

-> on the water currents
-> in the air flow
-> germinating in the earth

1. The water imagery is tied to currents and flow. The water has a sweeping fluidity and I”m recalling that water is considered the most powerful element on earth. If you doubt it, consider the Grande Canyon.
2. I wanted air currents, but the feel of it is too intangible and is more representative of thought, imaginings & ideas. Yet, without this, there is no starting place. (and we can reference the trend from last month)
3. The earth consideration looks, feels, smells like opportunity in real terms. Consider a dandelion seed as an idea whispering on the wind, waiting to be granted the opportunity to land and grow.

So, reflecting on the water in extra-dimensional terms, it can be considered:

• The feminine, the child, inspiration and ideas
• The emotional, flowing, moving and changing
• The second chakra, our relationships and who we are to another
• The moon, cycles, seasons and change
• Cleansing, clearing, revealing

This is not a small influence in our lives, and yet it can happen – I feel it happening – in a way that feels natural and progressive. It is usually in hindsight that you can check in and find out how much things have changed.

Consider our example of the Grande Canyon: It has been flowing almost eternally (+/- 17 million years) & the flow that created it is just consistently doing what it has always done.

If you consistently hold your Higher Vision and Do What You Do in Honor and Grace, the impact will be profound and also leave a profound mark on the Earth.

The Universe will always have more information on ‘Your Bigger Picture’. Keep putting one foot in front of the other in regard to your choices.

Keep your eyes open & your ears perked for the gentle nudgings and whispers of guidance that come as signposts on the earth, ideas on the wind because they are all indications of the Supportive Flow.

What are you noticing in the air around you?

Last newsletter, I suggested the energy was of Phoenix Rising (out of the fire). When there’s fire, there’s smoke, but that’s clearing now. What’s left? This might sound silly, but after you are done looking at the obvious, take a moment to look at what is in between the more solid bits… If all of space is a tree, look between the leaves. Where is their movement coming from?

Black & White (and gray)

As the energies within and around us are transitioning (and elevating), the world can look a little more black and white. The shadows are a little deeper and it looks like the sun is shining a little brighter. This puts us in a particular position: *we see more* While you wouldn’t think of that as necessarily problematic, it does mean that as our view changes we become more responsible.

What does the view and responsibility have to do with each other anyway?

Well, if you are reading this, you are probably someone who is committed to yourself: your Growth and your Truth. You are brave, courageous and willing to be wrong, see clearly and honor All that Is around you.

(This is as compared to someone who is just going about living life casually and without much conscious thought to their deeper purpose; not incorrectly, simply at a different layer.)

When the smoke clears before you, you see more clearly and appreciate different flow around the circumstances that might have been in a gray zone before. Whatever is there, is there presenting you with a choice:

• Align with your new view, or align with the pre-existing view.

Sounds simple. Maybe if you live on a desert island by yourself. Different people will see different things, draw different conclusions and make different choices. It is your job, as the responsible person that you are, to stay true to yourself while cooperating with others and Universal forces; follow & empower the flow.

This is where many people get caught.

• It is simple because you know your truth.
• It seems hard because of the change. Especially when the change affects everything around you.

What about compromise?

• Do you hold to your truth hard and fast?
• Do you create time (wait or use patience) for the physical adjustments?
• Do you pretend you never saw or know?

Your choice will be a unique blend determined by your past experiences, your goals, your soul contracts / relationships, your motivations, your willingness…

Hard fast truth shrinks the timeline. Can you cope with the accompanying stress of rapid change? If you are excessively considerate of others, is there enough of yourself in the equation to avoid resentment? (it’s your choice after all) Are you going to ignore your truth because the perceived risk is too high? For how long? What can you live with? Consider external motivations that will give temporary & unfulfilling result: martyr, hero, provider, addict… (yes, they are the archetypes)

There is no ‘right’ answer because you are an aspect of All that Is, but your motivation will determine if you feel stuck, liberated, resentful, excited… The *only* approach that will ever feel right is the approach that:

• Honors You First, Within Creation

Put another way: Honoring your leaf on the tree of life.
And knowing that you aren’t just the tree, but the wind that moves the leaves, too.

This is huge, but the gist of it comes back to my 2 rules:

1. Do your best.
2. Be true to yourself.

Lastly, in keeping with the tree example, you are lovingly supported by a solid tree trunk and using this as a visualization or as a meditative exercise will work to help you maintain your focus.

With many Blessings from me to you.
