With all of the harsh energies flowing around the Earth, we see doubt, frustration, and anger often filtering through the energy of love, diluting its expression.

Bring your love back to yourself.

Practice gentle self-care and self-nurturing. Ask yourself: What do I and my soul need right now? How can I lovingly center my energy back within myself?

Now is not the time to rescue the world.

Now is the time to return to yourself.

Feed your soul. Cultivate a deep, whole love within yourself.

Spend time filling yourself with loving, divine white Light.

Spend time feeling your energy connected with, and at one with, the Divine.

See yourself as one with God Source.

This is energy directed inward.

Do not become distracted by the perceived need to heal the Earth or everyone around you.

Instead, notice where you are longing for more love, compassion, and support. Consciously choose to give yourself what your body, mind, emotions, energy, and soul are asking for.

Open yourself to these messages.

Don’t let them disappear into a void or echo unheard within you. Receive them with an open heart. They are not pointing to your failures or your shortcomings. They are inviting you into a deeper conversation with yourself, one rooted in truth, honesty, and love.

See.

Listen.

Receive.

Then respond with love.

What are you being guided to do for yourself?

How are you being called to nurture yourself?

How are you being invited to love yourself more fully?

A channeled reflection received in meditation with my guides. 25 September 2025.

I’ve been thinking lately about a comment I heard someone make about the future. They said that the age when one individual makes a huge impact on the world was over. Now, it’s about powerful groups making world change.

That made me wonder about what the Age of Aquarius will mean for us…

How did we get here?

The first place I went in my mind was to the rise of Christianity and how its focus was on one man who changed the world. Before Christ, we had religions that focused on groups, but they were groups of all-powerful, unattainable deities, like with the Roman, Greek and Norse gods. Each god performed a certain role in human and earthly existence. One would govern the seas, another wine, one would bring healing, and another destruction.

If we go even further back into indigenous beliefs, we also have the multi-god religions with creator gods and water gods, harvest gods and sun gods.

Then, I combine this with us now supposedly moving out of the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius and some of this makes sense to me. In particular, the moving forward into the time period when groups will be powerful as they work together to make the world a better place for humanity.

It will be about humanity’s progression in understanding the world and creating a new one through technology and ideas that are futuristic, unconventional, and sometimes difficult to grasp. It’s about each of us honoring our unique, quirky, nonconformist side so that we can contribute our unique gifts to the group and the world.

It’s not a stagnant time. It will be one of rapid, seemingly overnight changes. It will feel like we move into new realities from one week to the next. We might feel like we are constantly having to catch up with our understandings of what these new changes mean, but they will make sense to us given a little time.

What is actually the difference between the Age of Pisces and the Age of Aquarius?

Let’s start with the Age of Pisces. Pisces is the sign of divine self, or seeing us all as one, of being connected to the Divine and Higher Self and the Universe. How does this translate into a time when we elevated one man to such a powerful position and gave over our powers to systems of belief and the leaders of those systems? This could obviously be leaders and systems of religion, but also government, society, philosophy, etc.

Historically, the patterns of spiritual awareness and growth in humans moved from a focus on multi-gods, who governed the natural world, to multi gods focused on ruling the human experience (ex. Wine and partying), and, finally, to one man-God needing to rescue us and offer us an route to salvation and reunion with our divine soul (focus on the individual).

Now, we are supposedly, shifting to a time (Age of Aquarius) when human groups will come together to save the ourselves and the world.

In a way, the Age of Pisces then sought to have God save us, now in the Age of Aquarius we are going to heal and save ourselves. Of course, this all remains to be seen, but … it makes me wonder what spirituality and religion will look like in the next two millennium.

How We Became Subservient to One Powerful Man During the Age of Pisces

I guess, since Jupiter is the traditional ruler of Pisces, his influence is what made us want to create systems and structures around our beliefs. He also is the one God who rules over all others. His energy created these institutions of beliefs and set us into the hierarchical system of us subservient to the one leader.

There is also an aspect of Pisces that wants to sacrifice itself (deny itself) in order to make peace with the other. They can easily be suppressed and also easily be influenced by false prophets. Pisces can be gullible and tend to see the best in others. They often wish to escape reality which can mean they give over their power to the other, in order to not have to take responsibility for everyday life and existence. Having a religion dictate to them how they should live their lives and define who they are (sinner or saint), gives them an out to having to face earthly life and step into their power.

Now, if we take that period ending, we will see a shift in organized religion and its place in the world and our individual lives. We’ll then also see the individual rise to grab onto his individuality and his place in the world, as separate from institutions while also embracing that she/he has an important role to play in this world as their true selves.

Which brings me to a brief look back at older astrological ages…

A Look at Past Astrological Ages & Their Themes

Age of Aquarius (approx. 2100 - 4300)

Message from Spirit - May 30, 2026

[Hello! :) I am being drawn to write with you this morning but am not sure why?]

Yes, we have a message we’d like to share with you and then for you to share out to the world. The topic is “Energetic Compatibility.”

[Okay. Can you help me clear myself and allow the message to flow through without my interfering or altering it? I feel like this is new for me to sit down without my own questions first…]

Just see how it goes, Christine. :)

___________________________________________

We’d like to start with the idea of being with another person or, perhaps more accurately, another energetic being. This could be human, animal, plant or astrological, for example.

We’d like to have you think about what being with something “energetically” means.

[To me, it means sharing and connecting my energy with that being. It feels like there is also a melding and sharing of space.]

Yes, this is so. We’d like to plant the seed that this becomes part of your conscious choice. The first step is being aware that this is always occurring. Right now, your energy is connected with the computer, with the candle, with the chair you are sitting in, with the tree outside your window and the wind blowing around your home. This is so whether you recognize it being so or not. It is an inescapable truth.

1. You are always exchanging, sharing and melding with energy that is around you.

Now, if you accept this truth. The next step is to become a conscious engager with this truth. Choose to share you energy and to merge it with another thing. With inanimate objects, like your chair or computer, this is less complicated, since the energy isn’t being directed by a complex consciousness. The chair, for example, has no real agenda, per se.

Before beginning to write, you consciously chose to use the computer versus writing in your journal. This was an acknowledgment on your behalf that there would be a difference in the writing experience for you. It also shows that there is a different connection, energetically, and also in comprehension and flow, depending on which approach to writing you use. The computer’s energy is much different than that of paper and pen. Can you feel that difference? (Without judging one as better or worse than the other.)

Moving on from inanimate objects to animate ones, ones who carry a complex consciousness, this choice to engage, share and meld becomes more critical.

Let us begin with the dynamics of this exchange between two sentient energies. By this we will focus now on earthly beings, not celestial or divine ones. Sentient beings on Earth operate on various levels of self-awareness, personal connection and expression of unconditional love, cooperation, etc. Your consciousness is not the same as another’s. Your experiences, your growth, your clearing and healing, your learning and exploring, your wounds, your personality have all shaped what your consciousness as it is in this moment.

Simultaneously, the outside environment spurs on reactions in you as you engage with the energetic moment. This could be in the form of what is happening around you, what state other beings around you are in, the state of the physical environment around you (a windy day, for example), etc. All of this plays into each second of energetic exchange. As you can see, energetic exchanges are very dynamic, complex, and ever changing - second to second.

BUT, and this is where we want to focus your attention, ..

2. You have the power to choose:

(a) if you engage at all,

(b) how much you engage, and, lastly,

(c) how long you allow yourself to be part of this engagement.

Think about when you do a reiki session. You choose to take on the client. Then to open the session, you do a clear and intentional opening. You set parameters, you consciously acknowledge your role (as channel for healing energy), how you want to perform this role (as a clear and open to healing energies for your client’s highest and best), and you then also close the session. There is a clear choice and recognition that the interaction has a beginning, middle and end.

Now, we ask you why this isn’t so in most of your daily interactions?

[Well, firstly, I think it is because I was never taught to be aware of this or even that this energetic exchange existed. So, it never occurred to me before to make choices about this or to consciously decide how I enter into these interactions. Now, I do this with reiki and in all of my work engagements, and sometimes in my personal life, as well. Especially in relationships where I am aware of the detrimental dynamics that play out in them and have recognized that I need to do so in order to remain in the relationship with this family member.]

Good. Now, we recognize that constantly, consciously pausing before every interaction is near impossible for you. And, we would like to say that this stepping into interactions with others need not be so complicated for everyone. We want to share that doing so with people who you know can be harmful to your own energy, triggering of your wounds, or even just imbalanced in how they engage with you versus how much you offer them - is a good place to be in using this awareness of energy exchange and introducing a beginning, middle and end. This is one level of harnessing this power inherent in everyone, to choose how you give your energy and to whom.

This brings us to the third point:

3. Be aware not only of the energy that you are receiving but also of the energy you are giving.

Some of your recent experiences have show you both sides of this coin. Relationships where you are experiencing detrimental energies coming to you and those where you are over giving of your own energy. There has been much growth offered you in these awarenesses. And, we would like to say that you have gained much personal power in consciously staking out where you want to stand in these exchanges, if at all. Is this not true?

[Yes.]

From here, we can venture into balance of energy. In a way, in both of the relationships where you have had to most be consciously aware of the dynamics and then choose how you would like to proceed, you have chosen in one situation to make the exchange more balanced (although that is something you are just now realizing is what has happened during this session with us :). In the other situation, you have chosen not to engage at all any more - for a multitude of reasons, the foremost being that your sharing of energy was mostly driven by a choice to rescue someone in the form of friendship, when the true desire was actually to exchange energy as a shared learning and growth journey. (Another aha for you. :) We are so happy to bring these new awarenesses and clarity to these relationships for you.)

So, you can see that being aware of your choice, also allows you to engage on the level that is true for you AND that then represents the true balance that honors both of you in the exchange. One of the core necessities of this choosing then means that you need to know why you are drawn to this exchange, to know your own agenda, and then to assess as the exchanges continue how your needs and the expressed or subconsciously expressed needs of the other are being met as well. Let us rephrase that since it might be difficult for you to “know” what the other truly wants - perhaps it is best to say be honest with yourself about the energy you are receiving back from the other in these exchanges. Does it match your needs or your “why” for entering into the exchange? How do you feel in the relationship? Your emotions are the tools you can use to feel this.

Let us look at one of the relationships you have in mind.

In one, there were demands being made by both of you about the roles you were assigned to play in your lives - mother and daughter. These demands led to clear expectations on both sides of what these roles entailed. Neither of you, however, were meeting the other’s expectations because they didn’t reflect the truth of who you both are.

You then realized this and were able to step back, on your part, from the frustrations, resentments, and anger that arose from your needs not being met by your mother in the way you had decided she should be meeting them. This then allowed you to realize truths in the relationship about the expectations you both had assumed without consciously looking at them as realistic. The truth about your looking to her to fulfill needs or certain voids you had in yourself. This realization then allowed you to see that your demands of her were distracting you from filling those voids yourself. In a way, you learned that you needed to fill and support yourself, and not look to your mother, or any other person, to do so. It was a realization that you believed that these needs could only be filled outside of yourself, by the other.

Now, with this realization, you made a choice to re-enter the relationship. Not holding any expectations of her. Simply allowing her to be herself and not expecting her to change to meet your expectations or needs. In return, you also allowed yourself to do the same - despite the fact that she still was holding you to her expectations of a daughter. By consciously choosing to re-enter the relationship and also how you were going to do so, you stepped more into your own power and also into deep realizations about who you were, your needs, and your ability to meet these needs all on your own. You are now better able to navigate the triggers in this relationship because you have broken away from them.

This then allowed you to bring balance into the relationship for yourself. You were no longer striving to meet the needs (“should”) prescribed to you. You were no longer struggling to make someone into someone who you felt you wanted and needed. You also began to consciously choose when you allowed energetic exchanges.

Now, we’d like to come back to the reiki example of clearly defining the beginning, middle and end of exchanges. You have regularly begun calling back your energy at the end of the day or after more intense environments, especially public ones. This is a good first step. We would like to suggest, however, that you become a little more conscious in the exchanges, especially with those people you feel might have more pointed or complex energetic demands directed at you.

A Method for Honoring Your Energy in Relationships

1. Choose if you want to engage, if that is an option. (We recognize that sometimes interactions cannot be avoided or anticipated.)

2. Before engaging, connected with yourself, call in Divine white light, call in us - your spirit family, your guides, guardian angels, your higher self, etc.

3. Ground yourself and connect with your body.

4. Set an intention for how this exchange is going to go. Define what role you intend for yourself in this exchange - the helper, the friend, the empathetic listener, the truth teller, etc. Visualize the exchange with you playing this role, if you’d like and have time to do so. Also, set an intention for how long this exchange is going to go. Honor that.

5. During the exchange, if it feels like you are going off the tracks and realize it, remind yourself of this intention you have set for yourself. Remind yourself that you are powerful and that you are in control of your own energy. No one can take it from you if you don’t willing give it. Remember, above all else love for yourself and the other. They aren’t responsible for your well-being, you are.

6. After the exchange, consciously close it off. State that you are taking back your energy. Visualize the energetic ties being disconnected. Thank spirit for being with you and helping you during the exchange. You can even swipe your hands down the front and back of your body and around your head with the intention that this is clearing and cutting any energetic cords that may have been formed or simply visualize all of your energy returning to you.

Lastly, we’d like to say that when you choose to share energy with someone or another being (an animal for example), this is never meant to be permanent. You often feel you owe a constant and intimate energetic connection to an other, especially those you love. And, although you do not need to completely cut energetic cords with your loved ones, you can dim them in order to maintain your energetic center and re-open them fully when you choose to.

Imagine if you constantly went around creating energetic connections with all of your family members, your friends, your co-workers and clients, the person in the grocery store you chatted with, etc. and never called back the energy to you, how depleted and fractilized you would become. You cannot prevent energetic exchanges but you can consciously begin to decide how much you engage in them, how much influence they have over you, and when your energy returns fully to you.

Do you have any questions?

[No. This was helpful. Thank you. Is there anything else you would like to add?]

No, that is all for today. Thank you for allowing us this time and sharing this teaching. We wish you a beautiful day. Let the winds today help clear out the energetic connections you have made to the collective as well. This, however, is a topic for another day. Just know that the winds can help you as a group clear out old energies, breakdown energetic strands of influence, and bring you space to breathe a little easier and function a little more clearly as autonomous from the collective waves of influence These are intense times, winds bring flow and life back to you. Let them do their work today :)

[Thank you. I will. ]

With many blessings, we consciously are ending this session and sending you much love and light.

The Council.

Your soul chooses when and how it enters physical form here on Earth for each incarnation, and with each incarnation it evolves through new and varied experiences. Through these experiences your soul ascends and evolves in its awareness of self and soul-self.

Your natal chart is the map your soul sets out for you before you manifest into body here on Earth in each lifetime. It plots out your life, purpose, gifts, challenges, relationships, abundance, career, roles, etc. in exacting details. The planets, the houses, and the signs of the zodiac all have specific placements and interactions with each other, which are very unique and specific to the You in each lifetime and to your soul’s journey through lifetimes. It is simultaneously a map of intention and possibilities. From the moment you are born, you are influenced and acted on by other people’s energies and the world around you. It is your free that allows you to choose how you understand these outside energies and environments and how you allow them to influence your life or not.

If we look at the zodiac wheel, we see that it is divided into 12 houses each of which is assigned one of the 12 zodiac signs. The numerology of 12 points to these complex interworking of the chart, of which we just spoke, too: the individual and the other, the individual and the world around it. If we break down twelve into the individual digits, we get 1 and 2, we see it is the individual (1) and the partnership (2) both. It exemplifies the working together of the individual with the other or the world. If we add 1+2, we have 3, which then represents the trinity of human life experience: the body, the mind/ego and the soul working together to create the physical experience of life here on Earth. All of these three components are necessary into order to take on life. All are represented in the zodiac wheel.

Looking more closely now at the twelves houses, we find that they tell the evolutionary story of:taking a physical form, moving through the varied experiences of what taking a bodily, human life means, how it expands in complexity of experiences, and eventually leads us right back to the beginning - to unity consciousness or connection with the All that Is (or as close to it as we can be during our physical life here).

Beginning with the First House, the soul focuses on its taking physical form. We revel in our physical existence. Here we step fully out into the world as a soul become body. We act, move our body, and embrace all aspects of physicality, like exercise or physical exertion. We build a concept of self in physicality.

Where the soul enjoys experiencing self in the first house, in the Second House we begin to notice the world around us. We begin to build the foundations of life, home, property, money, abundance. We relate to the physical world around us in the present moment. Not only in the material ways, but also in how we place ourselves as of value or worth in the world. Where the first house is focused like one dot centered on the body, which we inhabit, now the attention moves and expands to what is immediately around us.

It is in the Third House that the we begin to relate to the world around us through our thoughts and in connection with the other person/people. We begin to be aware that we relate to the world around us in a mental or intellectual way. Not only that, but we wish to communicate about it, as well. The Third House deals with the mind and communication.

Now we have completed the first quadrant of the zodiac wheel, and we see that it is all about development of self in identification as an individual in a physical body, as a part and builder in a physical world, and as a part of the mental world, in which we interact with others and process our lives in thought or with the mind.

As we move on to the next quadrant, we see the soul begin to develop intimate relationships with a close circle of others. Here the emotional world begins. In the Fourth House, the soul places at its center relationships with its most intimate circles, with the mother figure, the family, and ancestors. It is also about the environment, in which we interact with these people - the home and domesticity. It is the house of intimate familial love and nurturing.

In the Fifth House we begin to express our passions and explore passionate relationships with others in playful and exuberant ways. We experience our first love. We express our creative passions. We indulge in pleasures. We let our Inner Child run free. We let loose. It is the house of passions and creativity, and shining our light because we want to be seen and honored for who we are.

With our emotional experiences having run the gamut of quiet intimate life to exuberant passion, in the Sixth House the soul focuses on purposefully directing its emotions onto the care and nurturing of self, body, life and others. It is as if the emotions needed to be experienced fully in all ways, before the soul could then harness them into expression as service to self and others. The emotions are now used, not as a means of understanding expression simply of self, but for a purpose - for service to self and the other.

We now have progressed through the first six houses, which deal with the intimate spheres, the soul and its journey of getting to know self and the close intimate world outside itself. With the next six houses, we will see the soul expanding its horizons and interacting with the world in deeper, more expansive through communal relationships.

With the Seventh House, the soul begins to explore the interaction with an other, in order to create something - a marriage, a business partnership, a friendship, a collaboration. We now have the energy of the partnership - interacting and working one-on-one with another in a committed and deeper way. There is a give and take here, a balance of energies (ideally) where both parties reap the benefits of working with another and also contributing equally to this partnership.

In the Eighth House, we see a deep dive into these relationships, especially with the idea of energetic flow - sometimes in the form of money, but also in sexual relationships, and in psychological connections with self, other, and the world. It is the house of death and rebirth - exchange once again in order to evolve and grow. This idea of energetic motion is key. There is no stasis here. Often these shifts can be unwanted, but this then points to this house’s connection with psychology or an awareness on many levels (conscious and subconscious), and of psychic intuition, and shadow work. Depending on how in tune through our intuitive guidance and an awareness of self, this house can be a gift or seen as an inexplicable struggle.

In the next house, the Ninth House, the soul sees its horizons expanding outward as it begins to explore self through her/his place in society and culture, systems of belief, education, government, law, etc. It seeks to understand the expansive world around it, both intellectually through intensive studies but also through physically traveling far distances to explore for itself. It is a learning through systems and through own experience. This house asks the soul to understand itself within systems and within peoples and within societies/cultures. It asks us how are you an individual within a collective?

Now the soul has completed the third quadrant in the zodiac wheel, which has dealt with the exploration of self in deeper interactions and commitments to others, first in partnerships and eventually to see and explore intellectually and philosophically the greater world and peoples around, in order to understand self better in the context of other and world.

The last three house of the zodiac wheel bring the soul to explore more deeply the energy of the collective and the individual soul’s place in it.

With the Tenth House we see the soul, after exploring how it relates emotionally to the world and people around it, now to understanding its life purpose. The soul here endeavors to do the “work” it was meant to do in this lifetime. The tenth house is the house of career and work. The soul bears responsibilities here and acts on them. S\he, after having studied the systems of power and belief and society in the ninth house, now sees how it can work within those with purpose.

From this more practical expression of the soul in the tenth house, the Eleventh House asks the soul to see itself as an inspirational part of a group, a group which shares interests and ideas and purposes. This purpose branches away from “work” to embrace again the more free idea of creatively engaging with the world around it, and also reaching out into the Universal wisdom, to bring new ideas that will advance humanity in some way in how it lives and thinks. Society is key, but it is less so about being within the structure of society and more so about expanding it and exploring the possibilities offered from it. Here the soul wants to be a contributor in a unique, new or innovative way to humanity.

With the final Twelfth House, the soul expands one more level from how it works in its own structures and social systems to how it works as part of humanity as a collective unity. The twelfth house allows the soul to explore through unconditional love who it is a human among humans; how it can bring about change and affect humanity through its emotional support and connection with the whole and with the Divine.

Because this is the final house, it is also the last stage of evolution of the soul in this cycle of experience. It asks the soul to finally explore and release habits or thought/belief patterns that do not serve the soul - the ones which speak of wounds and lack. It deals with the subconscious, with past lives and karma, as well. Once again offering a final, intense and soul-deep opportunity to clear energies and blocks that may be keeping the soul from evolving further to the next level. If the soul completes this release, it accesses once again unconditional Divine Love and also its soul truth as being part of this Unity Consciousness. It once again can connect with the God Self and dissolve into the Universal Divine.

******

With the zodiac wheel and the many, many journeys through it, the soul creates for itself a multifaceted experience from lifetime to lifetime, but also within a cycle of many lifetimes. These cycles allow the soul to experience life themes through many perspectives and experiences, each adding more depth of understanding of self and of what it means to be alive. It is a thorough process, whose focus is about expanding and opening in consciousness. The completion of the level is not about speed or perfection, but about healing, embracing the divine within, and revealing true self more and more to the world.

I see this cycle as a vertical spiral. In the first level, the soul experience is of a simple life, where perhaps it is a blank slate with no specific purpose except to “be” in existence. In this first lifetime, the soul gathers its first experiences, both good and bad, light and shadow. From these experiences it then decides to experience in another lifetime different aspects to shed more light on areas it found challenging or didn’t experience in the first lifetime. It seeks new experiences, new perspectives to grow and to evolve in consciousness in each lifetime.*

Once the level of “manifesting into existence” has been fully explored from various perspectives, the soul then decides that it is has completed this first level and is ready to expand upward to the next level in the spiral. Perhaps now it decides, if it was a rock in the first cycle, to experience being a living thing and it may choose to explore being a form of algae or other simple plant, for example. It starts this next cycle and, again, chooses lives to experience this form of life from various perspectives and through different experiences. And so on, upward through the spiral.

Along with this, souls choose themes to fully experience throughout lifetimes, like with the archetypes, such as martyr, warrior, queen, healer, etc. Perhaps the level you have been on has been to struggle with living a life where you connect fully the physical life with the soul self. You may have lived many, many lifetimes now where you have experienced this through many incarnations, never quite achieving this unity, but always getting new perspectives and wisdoms. Perhaps in some lives you have come close to this awareness both of the physical and the soul, but never quite reconciling the two. In other lifetimes you never experienced the soul self as part of the truth of who you are, and in yet others you purposefully worked to oppose physicality and in others to deny the soul completely as part of you. You have bounced around the zodiac wheel exploring all it has to offer - the wheel does not need to be explored chronologically. Remember, it is like a menu of experiences to choose and build opportunities from. You do cover all the houses, but in an order uniquely chosen by your soul.

Now your soul may feel that this cycle or level as been completed. You have amassed enough experience to understand all the perspectives, you understand your soul self better, you are able to embrace the trinity of body, mind/ego, and soul. So in this lifetime, you see all the loose ends being connected, the final karmas being released, a flow into Divine Love coming through in your experiences. Your soul is now ready to spiral up to the next level, to experience perhaps what it means to live a life fully connected to soul and the Divine Unity Consciousness and what that means for a life balanced with physicality and soul, and from there manifesting a life on Earth in expanded consciousness.

This is the story and the function of the zodiac wheel and your personal natal chart. It is a gift to you from your soul and from the Universe. It truly shows you how the Universe concretely is supporting you in your soul growth and evolution and how your soul is a part of the Divine Consciousness, accessing it, working with it and expanding within it. There is intention and purpose in every detail of your life, and your birth chart is the map for all of this.

*I want to add as a footnote that I speak here in terms of linear time to make the story more easy to understand but if linear time is an Earth construct, it doesn’t truly belong as part of a soul story. Many mystics and wisdom beliefs speak of unity of time or that all things are happening at the same time. I see this similar to the rings a pebble creates when dropped in water. As you, as a soul, chose to add a new lifetime or experience on to your cycles it is simply another sphere added on or perhaps the flower metaphor would work, it is just another petal of the flower unfurling or adding just one more petal onto the flower of your soul’s journey.

You expand throughout this soul journey, with each lifetime adding continually and concurrently to this “soul sphere” that is you. There is so much more to add or say here about Over Souls, galactic lives, mythologies, etc. For now, we will allow this zodiac wheel story sit with you. Let it sink in, explore it in your life experiences and be curious about what your soul intends for you and play!

With love,

1. Where in my life I judge myself (and others) most harshly.

2. Areas of my life where I am not standing in my power or living my truth.

3. Patterns of beliefs in my life and how they are affecting me by not supporting me.

But, sometimes, I am just overwhelmed by them or just plain tired of working through them. So, today, I am wondering if practicing some self-compassion can also be to just let that trigger be. Trying to figure things out right now feels like poking at a black and blue mark just to feel the pain. Not to make things better and … that is okay too. I spend a lot of time in my head - trying to figure things out, make sense of things. By just letting go of the intellectualizing the process of healing and clearing triggers, I am also learning two important things: how important self-compassion is and that there is a power in allowing my soul to carry me sometimes.

Over the last two years, I have experienced healing and empowerment just by acknowledging wounds or areas of my life where I am triggered. I’m seeing how I can experience just as much healing without all the toil and just allow things to flow.

To accept that my mind needs rest too.
To accept that healing can come from spirit too.

I don’t always need to be in the driver’s seat. I can let things unfold without trying to control them.

In a way, the triggers we experience are opportunities, like doorways, that you can choose to open and be willing to explore, but just by opening that door, we also open ourselves to our souls help. The simple act of acknowledging them says to our souls and spirit team that we are ready and open to exploring this area of our life. Yes, we are active participants in this process, but then we are not the only ones. Our higher selves and spirit team work with us through the process of learning from and healing these wounds that are the source of our triggers.

So, the questions for you are …

Are there some parts of your life where you’re demanding too much of yourself?

Are there triggers in your life right now that are just overwhelming?

Could you be practicing more self-compassion?

Maybe you can give up the control … even for a bit … just let yourself relax?

Maybe you can step out of your thoughts and just breathe?

With love,

Christine
