Collective Reading January 21-27: Open The Door

Before now, your interactions with others were dependent on them being a certain way or acting a certain way. More often than not, now, you are interacting based on how you are. This is because when you are centered in your Authentic Self, the vibration you carry outweighs the vibrations of those who aren’t centered. They could be experiencing the situation in an entirely different reality, and you are still allowed to experience it your way.

I’m seeing a total reversal of what some call “codependency,” and it looks good on you. It looks like empowerment, choosing happiness, and getting what you actually want. Nevermind the path to it, or how things look while you work. You are keeping your eyes on the prize, steadying yourself, and finding that your feet stay solidly planted as you reach heavenward.

There is no peace like the one found in stability. It truly does not matter what other people do. You will find others who match your vibration, and they will outpace the influence of the people and places you have either left behind or had taken from you. Let them go, knowing that you have better things waiting for you. In the meantime, you always have yourself.

Usually we hear the platitude, “When one door closes, another opens,” but this time the message is, “When a door opens, the others must close.” Your choices in what you open for yourself preclude the possibility of any other outcome. Make your desires so big in your view that nothing else can gain your attention.

At the same time, be willing to let the outcome change. Once you have named your desire, let go of getting it and focus on the feeling you desire. Then, live in that feeling and allow your world to shift to match it. You cannot feel success and experience failure, and vice versa. Eventually, they have to match up.

So let yourself feel successful regardless of what happens. Let yourself find relief, gratitude, positivity, humor, joy. It doesn’t matter how you find it or what happens. What matters most is the fact that you are happy inside.

Like with a labyrinth, the way out is the way in. We have wound ourselves into the middle of it already. Now all we have to do is unwind ourselves and we will find that we are out where we can breathe again. It’s easy to get there when we offer no resistance, no attachment, no fear. The image I’m getting is that either you can cling to the walls and slow your journey out, or you can keep your hands in and never touch the walls at all.

And if you find yourself experiencing the opposite of what you want, let it be the invitation you need to go inward. There is no problem so big that getting still and breathing won’t help it. You don’t have to white-knuckle the drive. Just keep breathing and keep moving forward. You will get there when you are ready. So open the door you want. It will happen when you are able to receive it.

Collective Reading January 14-20: The Path of Joy and the Authentic Self

This week we are mapping out the steps, taking steady action, and allowing things to take shape as they will. Keep in mind that the result may not look how you imagined it, when all is said and done. That’s a good thing.

Your hope for the future is only as good as your imagination allows. Your imagination is a rough draft of what will actually come to be. Don’t get stuck in the details, and don’t lose sight of what you really want.

You’re not chasing an outcome. You’re chasing a feeling. What if you win? What if you fail? Can you come home at the end of the day feeling satisfied either way? Master that inner feeling of satisfaction with your efforts, and your efforts will lose their urgency and simply become the next logical, joyful step.

Urgency has been the primary thing keeping you going for so long that you started to believe some untrue things. You started seeing yourself as inept, lazy, or tired by nature. You started feeling like there was no other way of being. Essentially, you put on the costume and accepted a role in a play, then forgot it was a play.

This role had you sacrificing your joy in order to get what you needed. Not because you wanted to, exactly, but because you believed it was the best way forward. Tell me if any of these examples of the stories we tell ourselves are familiar:

-You chose the harder path, which made you deserving of success (but secretly, you fear not having worked hard enough to succeed).

-You were the bigger person in an argument, and therefore you’re a good person, and/or worthy of being believed (but you aren’t always the bigger person, and that’s why you struggle to be accepted).

-You had to give more in order to receive anything (and being “in debt” makes you feel unworthy of love, as if you’ve withdrawn too much from a bank account).

When we act out these stories, we interact with the world as a False Self, created to fit an expectation. The False Self uses false words, false emotional states (think toxic positivity or chronic frustration), and participates in false stories that try to make you palatable to others. You weren’t lying; there is no shame in having been who you needed to be. You were simply acting the way you were taught to act, which was not in alignment with how you really felt, or what you really thought. Put another way, your frustration was real enough, but the source was identified incorrectly and it blocked your joy.

Now that you know more, let these false definitions of you go. As you embrace your Authentic Self, you will attract the life that actually makes sense for your thoughts and feelings.

This is the power of living your truth: what is meant for you finds you. What is not for you has nowhere to stick. You find nourishment and feel at home in yourself when you are true to you.

And while you had success drawing in things that were not 100% right for you, it is important to remember that your Authentic Self had enough gravity underneath the mask of the False Self to still draw in enough of what you needed. You survived, and it was enough. Now that you recognize a true desire, and have resolved to get it, surviving is not enough for you.

Joy and real success are every bit as important as you want them to be, and you are on a path that allows you to have them. But remember: the journey is the destination, and you can feel satisfied every step of the way. You can, because you are on the Path of Joy.

Collective Reading January 7-13: It Does Matter

The burden of community is the responsibility to defend, protect, nourish, and grow with those we embrace as our own.

We have quite a task ahead of us, those who wish to make this world and this life a paradise. But the scaffolding we have built (and continue to build) to improve our own mindsets, our own ability to grow, and our own tolerance for the hardships of growth, are going to pay off in spades.

You wanted to fix the world since before you could remember. Has it occurred to you that that desire is very worthy, but you have to fix yourself first? The Hermit speaks of going within to find yourself before sharing that pure light with the outside. 4 of Wind/Swords, as well. Rest, that you may show up and show out when it is time. When you are ready, the world will be ready for you, too.

Remember that heartache shows you where you care deeply, and can reveal why, as well. Do not be afraid to feel your feelings. Be sure you have the proper outlet for them so that you can channel your emotions into productive ways forward. It can feel overwhelming to care about something, when you’ve been running away from the sheer power of that care, but the Universe of Love assures you that every ounce of that care is necessary to meet the problems it was created by, and like a rushing river, channeled through the cracks of a dam, your care has the ability to resolve the problems so entirely that you change the landscape forever.

That is what you came to do: create a beautiful new world with beautiful new peace and love and joy and happiness and knowledge, and many more things besides. Why shouldn’t you use all the preparation you’ve been collecting to do exactly that?

You weren’t ready before, but you are now. At least, for this next step. And when you’re ready for more, it will be ready for you, just how you need it.

Your efforts do make a difference. Keep going. It’s working.

Collective Reading December 31- January 6: Let Go of Control

Welcome to the new year! This week, we are overcoming any reservations and just going for it. There is this sense of divine timing that will brook no excuses. Be prepared for every attempt to halt progress to be overwhelmed by the momentum, like a stream overflowing its banks.

In other words, what you have been wanting all this time has been coming to you, and if you are afraid of it happening, now is the time to face that fear and choose the good thing anyway. What you want wants you just as badly as you have wanted it. Might as well honor your deep desires, since they haven’t gone away. Closing your eyes and pretending you have no desires is not going to make them actually go away.

No matter how impossible your dreams feel, no matter what evidence there is against them, there is so much more evidence that they are possible. Your blindness to it is serving no purpose. Do you have the courage to open your eyes and truly see?

The Universe has some advice for how to choose truth instead of fear. When you start to ruminate on how your dreams are impossible, stop and go back to the feeling of the dream coming true. If you can find the stillness, you will stop creating resistance, and the Universe will work everything out that much easier. Not everything is in your hands.

You have been so used to the idea that you could ruin everything. Consider the feeling of powerlessness as a sign that making it work is not your job. Start trusting that there are powerful forces on your side doing the heavy lifting. It’s okay to let go of control and just feel peace.

If you are in the habit of making New Year’s resolutions, I suggest making a simple resolution to feel good. If you want peace, feel what peace feels like inside yourself regardless of the situation. If you want success, feel satisfied with what is going right, no matter how small.

“Overthinking is underfeeling.” Get out of your head and honor your heart. Let the rest sort itself out and put your energy into the next right step.

Energy healing is an integral part of whole self healing. Now through January 31st, I am offering $10 off 60-minute virtual energy sessions and Home Blessings/Clearings. Book me on my website and start feeling lighter. Coupon code: ENERGY10

Collective Reading December 24-30: Accumulate Success

The image coming up is that of the mythical Labyrinth of King Minos, and Theseus going into the center to slay the Minotaur. You have journeyed into your own labyrinth, facing dark and twisting corridors filled with horrors, and now that you have slain the Minotaur and prevented others from falling victim to it, you doubt your path out.

Any attempts to remain grounded have been met with your fear of what has already happened. Is it still present? Will it happen again? How will you survive it repeating? To which the Universe is saying, “You have already gotten rid of the root problem.” Yes, there are battles to be fought and won still, but let’s look at what you have going for you in all this.

Theseus made his way out of the Labyrinth using a magical ball of string. Your ball of string is the golden thread of abundance that has always been with you. Even in your darkest hour. Stop justifying your fears with all the evidence of the bad things. When you feel badly, your mind wants to fill in the details with reasons as to why. To start feeling good, retell the story of the hard times, using all the good things that happened. Keep practicing gratitude. The fact is that even when you have been at your worst, there has ALWAYS been something to be grateful for. And the Universe has said this a million times if it has said it once: there is a golden thread of good fortune through every experience and every awful thing you remember. The mere fact of your existence now is proof that you have had enough to survive up to this point, and not only that, you have gained. You took this journey for a reason, and that reason was enough to justify the hard parts. Trust that it is more than worth it. But also, you feel bad now because you have needs and wants to attend to. How can you go about doing so?

It’s okay to want something so badly that you eat, sleep, and breathe that desire. Just be sure to check in with why you want it. Let’s illustrate with an example. If you want financial security in order to feel loved, maybe what you want is two-fold, and maybe you’re starting at the wrong end. Somehow, feeling unloved became entangled with feeling financially insecure. Now that you’ve tasted financial security, which you have busted your butt to get (I see you, you amazing human), you’re finding that it doesn’t hold the core of your desire for emotional security. And you may be wondering why you’re unsatisfied still.

Wanting financial security isn’t wrong; it’s part of your birthright. Keep it going, and start adding emotional security to it. You have taken care of yourself when others would not, and you’ve done a better job than they ever did. This is a form of emotional security you have given yourself, in that you promised yourself something and followed through on it. Give yourself credit. Celebrate your win, even in a small and quiet way, alone. A helpful mantra: “I am enough for myself.”

The greatest thing you can do to attract people who will love you the way you need it is to hold that love for yourself and choose to see and accept it as enough–for now. Then pursue meeting this need more, in a way that makes sense, not out of desperation but from a place of confidence, knowing that you have met the surface need fantastically well. Why not add to the accomplishments you already achieved? Why not continue to accumulate good things, since you have already started?

The bottom line is this: you didn’t know what you needed underneath the first need that you met, and now you do, and it scares you to think that it can’t happen. But the only reason you haven’t met it yet is because you didn’t see it clearly. You know more now, and that changes everything. Trust yourself to get more of what you need. It’s going to be more than okay.

Now go be fabulous, and have a great week!

Collective Reading December 17-23: Celebrate Your Future Success Now

This week is the winter solstice, and with it comes all the celebratory energy that has been collected through thousands of years across multiple cultures. This week invites you to dig deeper into what exactly you celebrate, and how it applies to you.

Three of Water/Cups reminds you that you are a success in progress. Each cup has a phase of the moon next to it, bringing in the reminder that you are you at every phase of life. From novice to expert, from young to old, you are still the same lovable you that you always are, and you are loved and supported unconditionally.

Can you love yourself the same when you fail as when you succeed? Can you value your time when you are active as well as when you are doing nothing? Your worth is unchanged from moment to moment, year to year. Start acting like you deserve the goodness that you think you deserve when you’ve achieved something big.

Your emotional state is critical to the speed at which you achieve your goals. Prioritize feeling good, regardless of the situation at hand. Did you mess up? Choose to feel good about being aware of the blunder. Sleep-deprived? Choose to feel good about the taste of your coffee. Count some blessings, remember some good times. Just feel good, and keep feeling good until something good happens that gives you more good feelings.

You are learning how to accept good things, and it can be hard to be consistent with–at first. Keep practicing and you will find that it gets easier.

Feeling good is so very important. Aside from helping you to manifest and choose what you want, it also protects you from getting caught up in things you don’t want. Negative energy is high, and it’s everywhere. You can drown in it if you focus too much on it. That outcome does no one any good.

It’s okay to be aware of the problems in the world, but if you cannot fix them, wallowing in them won’t help. The Universe says there will be opportunities to do good and make a difference, but you have to be solid in your own energy first, so that setbacks or delays do not take you out of the game. When you are ready to do something, the opportunity will present itself.

Trust in divine timing, and keep pursuing your deepest desires with a celebratory attitude. One step at a time, one day at a time. In the future, you’ve already won. Now you get to see how it happened. Assume the best outcome and allow it to happen. Everything else is just a temporary plot twist.

A helpful mantra: I release the outcome. I ask to see the highest outcome.

Sometimes we need a little help getting out from under heavy energies, subconscious self-judgment, or energetic interference. Not only is it possible, that support is something we are allowed to ask for–and receive. Book an energy session here and start feeling better.

Collective Reading December 10-16: Too Little, Too Soon

Wow! Lots of turning points, beginnings, and connections this week. Here’s your reminder that you are right on time.

It’s no wonder you’re tired lately. You’re moving energy and participating in global changes on the most powerful level possible: individually.

The most effective way to change the world is to change your own frequency, your own baseline. This is happening in the wake of having observed someone, or many someones, say they would change… and simply not doing it. I’m seeing you on the outside, perhaps watching people get divorced, and the one parent seemed to have some control when they demanded change. But you knew it was all external, and not integrated into the real issue. I’m hearing “Too little, too soon.” Not too late, but too soon.

Both parties were in need of some big overhaul, but chose to focus on the problems they saw in each other instead. So nothing really changed.

How permanent are the changes you have seen others try to make when times got tough? You watched them start to feel the consequences of their actions, and only then resolve to “be better” so they wouldn’t lose what they seemed to have. Then, when the panic subsuded, they stopped trying and settled back into their previous habit energy. What a disappointment.

None of this memory is actually about you. And yet, all of it is about you, for the things you witnessed both defined your ideas about how people can or cannot grow, and are defined by your intuitive belief systems and temperament. They were the mirror for what can happen, and therefore the way you think about yourself is intertwined with what you saw and vice versa.

You have a great capacity for growth, beyond what many people allow themselves to experience. Just because you saw others fail to change when things got bad doesn’t mean you will turn out like them. You are on your own path. You are your own person. And the reason they failed was because they only moved when external forces seemed greater than their internal will. In reality, they had a more powerful will to do what they truly wanted. So do you.

If you really want to change and grow, not because of anything outside of yourself (although outside pressure can be a helpful catalyst) you will find a way. If you want to stay stagnant, no storm outside will ever change that.

Figure out what you really want, and who you really are when you are in your highest self. You’re not going to be behind where your energy truly is. You’re far too powerful for that. Just keep taking the steps you need to take when you’re ready for them. Nothing that is truly yours can ever miss you, but you do need to allow yourself to be ready for it. Being ready feels like inner peace and strength, not fear and punishment. The quickest way to readiness is to be at one with where you are and enjoy the journey. It’s all okay.

Have a great week, dear one. You’re right on time.

Collective Reading December 3-9: Forgive and Move Forward

Indecision is the one thing holding you back now. What do you want out of life? What do you want in your work, your home, your future?

In the past you felt you had to settle in order to get anything at all, but there is a difference between choosing the best alternative available now and building a future where you get the best alternatives imaginable—when you are ready for them, and without settling. Your ability to manifest what you actually want has gotten so much more potent, because you have clarified what you want in your mind.

In the past, you were hungry and went to a new restaurant. You took one look at the options and told the server that you wanted whatever they recommended, because you didn’t know what was good. They chose what they thought was the best option because you asked them to.

Now you’re sitting at your table, and the server is asking you what you want for this meal. What are you going to choose?

Indecision can come from simply not knowing your options, but it can also come from being afraid that what you want isn’t available to you. Don’t confuse the two. If you genuinely just want to eat something and have no idea what you might like, asking for opinions or allowing someone else to make the decision for you can be valuable, but if you know what you want and are afraid to ask for it, your best options are always going to be unavailable.

The Devil card is showing up again to remind you that what you are working through and clearing in this process is old patterns, attachments, beliefs, and restrictions. Be aware that they can only have lasting power over you so long as you continue to give them power. Two of Earth is saying, “Good input brings good output.” To put it another way, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. The quality of your requests directly impacts the quality of your results. If you want the most amazing meal you’ve ever tasted, figure out what that is and ask for it!

Sometimes you have to realize that the menu you’re looking at doesn’t have what you really want, which means you have to go to a different restaurant to get it. The only way your results change is if you make better choices. But in order to consistently make better choices, you have got to get into a better mindset. Believe your right option exists, is available, that you deserve it, and that you can get it.

The bottom line is that you are on the right path. Every step you take gives you valuable results. Sometimes those results are telling you what you don’t want so you can make a different choice and take a different step next time. But you wouldn’t have known you didn’t like it until you tried it. And that’s more than okay.

Forgive yourself. Forgive what happened. This life is about experience, and you are making the choices that are right for you, given everything you have to work with. Are you really doing it the wrong way, or is your best option taking into account something that no one else can see? Replace other people’s judgments with greater awareness of what you actually have to work with.

The Universe loves you unconditionally. It’s time to start loving yourself that way, too.

Sometimes the Devil card indicates blockages that you may need help removing. If there is something you just can’t seem to move on your own, book an energy session here.

Collective Reading November 26- December 2: It’s All Coming Together

“It’s all coming together,” is what I’m hearing. Out of many moving parts, working in harmony, your life is taking shape.

The symbol of the circle is present in every card, pointing to the way your journey comes “full circle” this week–and continues to move in perfect harmony to create more light and more circles. Your path is like a spirograph picture, intricate, delicate, and perfectly aligned.

Be satisfied with the incomplete things. If your journey were complete now, it would be the end of it, and life is a precious gift that goes on for you. You will never find full completion so long as you’re alive.

Maybe that’s why you long for the ending, sometimes. You crave completion and a solid finality. The unknown has been seen as a risk for deviating from the pattern, but it isn’t. You’re not coloring outside the lines, nor is your orbit straying from its course. It’s just more complicated than you initially supposed. You need to separate the hoped-for end result from the bitterness of death. The journey is the destination, and the destination is the journey. You cannot go back to nothingness at this time and be satisfied, because you are meant to experience this contrast now. Your soul craves this experience.

Expect change, knowing that every change that happens is for the better and worth everything it has taken. This is the Hero’s Journey, to come to a place of deep understanding and fierce love of oneself in the midst of every situation. When you are unshakeable in your self-love, you will see love for you everywhere. Allow these last vestiges of “not good enough” and “incomplete” to burn away and reveal the mighty warrior inside. It is time for you to be who you really are.

The celebration of who you really are and what you are here to do can only truly be seen when you lean fully into it and see yourself truly. When you hold the vision, you express your truth with such a loud roaring voice that the world has no choice but to hear it, too. When you feel your own warmth, the world warms, too. The nuclear power that lights stars is within you, burning and roiling with a glory that cannot be dimmed no matter how many light-years of darkness it travels through. No light is ever wasted. When a ray of light goes out without hitting anything, it is meant to go forth and touch the farthest part of the Universe, in due time. You are seen and heard by the far reaches of the known and unknown All That Is.

Shine your light in this world. You are needed. Your light and warmth are necessary. And you are not the only one. Together, we create a paradise to live in now. It’s all coming together perfectly.

Collective Reading November 19-25: Action and Results

The difference between mistakes being a negative versus a positive is in your perspective.

You’ve made mistakes in the past, or watched other people make mistakes, and you experienced suffering in the result. Then you stopped doing things so you wouldn’t feel those feelings. What you didn’t realize was that deliberate inaction is an action that can cause suffering, too.

Let’s imagine that your life is a tree. You were given this tree and told that you must let it grow. Nourishing it may have been a struggle. Letting the rain fall and the wind blow and the sun shine on the tree was something you may have tried to stop in the past. Despite your best efforts, the tree still got some rain, and the sun did come out. The tree survived. You realized that you were working against yourself. Then you decided that it was important to allow these things to happen, because the tree deserved to live. You knew there were some branches that would cause problems in the future, but you didn’t have any other branches to rely on, so you let them grow. You allowed the sun to shine and the rain to fall. And the tree grew. It didn’t look like the tree you envisioned, but every leaf that opened brought more nutrients and provided more shade.

Now, the fruit has ripened and the seasons are changing, you no longer need all the branches that were so essential before. The tree that is not pruned does not grow correctly. The garden that is not tended needs care to correct overgrowth. There is a time and season for everything.

There is so much fear surrounding making “the wrong” moves, but Source doesn’t see it that way. Your Highest Self doesn’t see it that way. Mistakes and actions (including inaction) are just ways to experience the Universe. Suffering is not mandatory. Experience that aligns with your vibration teaches you what you are putting out. So if you are aligned with suffering, you will experience it. If you are aligned with failing forward, you will experience it.

You have come to a zenith, or peak of experience. Now you can look back at everything that brought you to this point and take stock of it. Understanding and wisdom can be made out of any experience. Do not judge yourself so harshly that you cut down the tree. Let yourself grow, and know when to accept less than perfect action.

Your Highest Self wants you to know that even though your refusal to do something wrong made your energy and manifestations grow unchecked, your inaction was an important choice that brought valuable results. Allowing the tree to grow was a better alternative to pruning it incorrectly or underfeeding it, but now it is wild and needs selective pruning. Get out of functional freeze mode. You have enough understanding of what the right moves are now. Don’t let fear hold you back from making the right choices, now that you have access to them.

You are inherently good. There will never be a point in which your tree is deemed unworthy of living. There will never be a point in which you are deemed unworthy of doing the best you can do, when you have the intention to grow, love, and serve. A no is not a condemnation of your good intentions. You are failing forward, and every experience is a priceless gem in your personal journey. You got this. Keep going.
