Yoga of Ascension

In this October Energy Update 2022 we discuss the energy of October which is one of divine fire and revelation. During this month we are invited to engage in the alchemy of fire in order to recreate ourselves in truth, recreate our relationships in truth, and reclaim the sacred fire of divine love and eros. The fire element will continue to increase in strength as we approach the 2024 solar maximum. The question is how will we work with it? The invitation is to use the energy of fire in a constructive way through the process of alchemy. Fire is a powerful force for both creation and destruction. When skillfully used fire enables us to destroy what is dead and no longer true in order to create from a place of greater truth and authenticity. When fire runs amok or is used unskillfully we see a lot of senseless suffering, destruction, and death. Yet whether fire is used in a skillful or unskillful way, we can trust that we will get the experiences we need. What needs to be destroyed will be destroyed and something more true will eventually take its place. The only question is how much suffering will we need to endure in order to get there. The key to working with the fire element within us is to identify and cultivate our own desires. Desire is our inner fire. When we are attuned to it our desires can light our way and burn us clean of delusions. When we suppress our desires, fire will express itself in destructive ways. When we don't tend our own inner fire it may go out, and we may find it difficult to find purpose, direction, and motivation in our lives. Our first responsibility to the self is to tend the fire of our own desires. To notice and allow them to run through us. That does not mean every desire is acted upon. Rather every desire is noticed, honored, and respected. Then the will is used to work with those desires in a constructive way. As we tend our own inner fire of desire this month we are being invited to recreate ourselves in truth. A lot of 2022 has been about bringing our life circumstances into greater integrity with truth. That starts with the truth of who and what we are, which can only be known when we are clear on our own desires. Because it is our desires that tell us what needs to be experienced in order to continue our spiritual evolution. When we ignore or deny our desires we are denying the divine within us the experiences it needs for evolution.

In this video we discuss Sexual Attraction and Spiritual Awakening, and how sexual attraction often changes after spiritual awakening. The most significant spiritual awakening most of us ever have is the initial opening of the heart chakra, which brings online energetic sensitivity and a greater capacity for love and intimacy. After that initial awakening we often think of our lives in terms of what came before our awakening and what came after. This is also true of sexual attraction and romantic relationships, which is the most potent vehicle there is for spiritual evolution. Sexual attraction changes after a spiritual awakening. Our pre-awakening sexual attractions are usually determined by the lower chakra lessons we need to learn in order to reach the heart space. So we are often working out our karma and may find we are attracted to conventional beauty and those who possess wealth, power and/or social prestige. The evolutionary imperatives at this point often relate to security, survival, procreation, and learning to harmoniously relate with one another. The good news is there are a lot of people who can help us learn the basic lessons that help us open the heart and achieve the initial awakening. For many people that may involve having and raising children together. Things can get more challenging and interesting after awakening, the basic lessons have been learned and we are ready for a more advanced curriculum. For instance, many of us awaken within a partnership that taught us the lessons we needed to awaken, but after the awakening the sexual attraction goes away. Fundamentally we are sexually attracted to people with whom we have the potential to do work in consciousness together to evolve. The root chakra draws in the experiences we need in order to evolve in consciousness. We are sexually attracted to those with whom we have polarity, and the potential to do work. At its most primal level that polarity is the difference between masculine and feminine energies (regardless of bodies), but more generally polarity is the capacity of two people to catalyze one another's spiritual growth and help facilitate healing of karmic patterns, greater balance and wholeness. Once we move beyond the basic lessons of the lower chakras we may find we are no longer sexually attracted to those who are unable to meet us at the heart space to do the advanced lessons. The advanced lessons include cultivating unconditional love free of the desire to possess or be possessed, engaging in open and honest communication that facilitates the sharing and harmonization of vibrations, and ultimately the sacramental merger of beings with one another and the divine. Many wonder what to do when they have a spiritual awakening while in a relationship, and after the awakening sexual attraction to their partner goes away. When sexual attraction disappears in a relationship it usually means polarity at the root chakra has been resolved, which can happen for a number of reasons. Sometimes that means we have successfully learned the lessons the mated relationship had to teach us, and are not compatible for the advanced lessons. Other times it may mean we simply no longer view the person as appropriate or able to do the basic work in consciousness "assigned" to us. Whatever the reason for a lack of sexual attraction things can always change, if there is a mutual desire, willingness, and ability to continue using the relationship as an evolutionary vehicle. However, if any of those factors is absent the relationship has likely served its evolutionary function. That doesn't mean it has to end. You can have a very happy and harmonious relationship with someone with whom you lack sexual chemistry or Eros. However, the relationship has ceased to be a romantic mated relationship at that point, whether or not it is acknowledged as such. Therefore it is useful to recognize there has been a shift, and to update the terms and conditions of the relationship so they are in alignment with what is true and alive.

In this September Energy Update 2022 we discuss the energy for September which I described as a "Bridge to the Future." Many of us have experienced LIFETIMES of growth and transformation this year. So much so that it has often felt difficult to integrate it all. As we move into September and the September Equinox we are entering a period of turning inward and harvesting all that was good and true about what we have experienced so far this year. Now is a good time to take stock and examine the new foundation for your path forward.

In this interview with Michaël Bijker we discuss the yoga of descension and integrating the human. We can often think of the first leg of the spiritual journey as the yoga of ascension, where through discipline and renunciation we disentangle ourselves from the addictions and attachments that keep us trapped and stuck in order to experience higher states of consciousness. But there comes a time when we must confront the aversions that develop as a byproduct of renunciation and integrate higher consciousness into the human, so that we may become spirit in form. Michaël Bijker is a yoga, breathwork, pranayama, meditation & QiGong teacher and has the best-selling course creator of breathwork, QiGong and meditation courses with over 70.000 students worldwide. His courses are among the highest-ranked on Udemy and his teachings have transformed the lives of thousands of people around the world. Michaël has practiced mind training and meditation since the age of 14 and studied QiGong and Yoga since having to recover from a severe car accident that happened in the year 2001. By the powerful methods of QiGong and Yoga and the grace of God he was able to recover from injuries of which medical professionals considered he would probably not heal. Since then he has been committed to helping others to learn these wonderful techniques as well that will not only give health, focus and strength, but makes us realize what we truly are and what our true calling is. After years of living as a modern spiritual renunciate Michaël met his partner and became a father, which has led him to integrating the realization of higher consciousness into the life of the householder.

In this Lion's Gate 2022 energy update we discuss the themes of the August 8th Lion's Gate Portal. As a collective we find ourselves at a crossroads. One path leads to heaven on Earth, the other to a hell of our own making. There is no pre-destination. It is all a choice. We are choosing heaven or hell moment by moment day by day. Late last year we said 2022 was going to be an ascension rocketship. What we didn't realize at the time was that we would be building the rocketship mid flight. As we build our rocketships mid flight we often have to improvise. Sometimes a part won't fit, or will stop working, and we have to adapt. We are mid flight, so if we don't figure out how to make it work the only option is to fall. The message I have for everyone is to keep going. Keep improvising. Keep the rocketship in the air, even if you are simply maintaining altitude at this point. It isn't about being graceful and easy. It is about being dedicated to embodying a higher state of consciousness. It is about showing up each day and doing the things you need to do in order to embody more peace, joy, and love while serving others. There is a prophecy amongst the indigenous peoples of the Americas that humanity has split into two tribes, the condors and the eagles. The condor tribe is intuitive and feeling, and lives in harmony with Mother Earth, viscerally experiencing her as an extension of self. The eagle tribe is powerful and intelligent, and lives for conquest, domination, and exploitation of the Earth Mother. It is said that for a 500 year period the eagle tribe will grow stronger and stronger, until they grow so strong that that they all but wipe out the condor tribe and destroy Mother Earth. At the end of that 500 year cycle the eagle tribe will have a choice. They can choose to continue doing the things that destroy the planet, or learn to live in harmony with her and the condor tribe. In order for both tribes and the planet to survive the eagle and the condor will have to learn how to fly in harmony with one another. We are in the time of choice, where the eagle tribe will learn to live in peace with the condor tribe and plant or destroy itself and everything else. There is no predestination. It is all choice that must be made over and over on a daily basis. #lionsgate #ascension #energyupdate

In this June New Moon Energy Update 2022 we discuss the energetic themes of the June 28th new moon. Some of the themes discussed are continuing to deepen our capacity to embody loving awareness, finding nourishing community, owning the queer parts of our being, and nourishing the thirsty parts of ourselves. A theme of this year has been deepening our capacity to embody loving awareness. That has meant releasing judgments and noticing the things that make us numb and contracted. Often the discomfort of a relationship or situation is what causes us to numb out and not be present. When that happens we need times of retreat to withdraw, heal, and nourish ourselves. Sometimes we may even need to distance ourselves from people and situations that we are unable to remain conscious while in relationship with. The search for nourishing community and relationships is a big theme of this new moon. Many of us have outgrown the old containers of our lives and they are no longer nourishing. Which has led many of us on a quest to find community that will provide fertile ground for us to continue our growth. As part of learning to be in community in a deeper more authentic way we are being invited to own all the queer parts of ourselves. June is Pride month which is a celebration of diversity and loving all of who and what we are. We all have queer parts of ourselves, which don't necessarily have anything to do with sexuality or gender identity. We all have aspects of ourselves that remain hidden, unloved, and unacknowledged which are being asked to be owned and embodied. It is only when we own all the queer parts of ourselves that we are able to show up in community and fully be a part of it. Nourishing all the thirsty parts of ourselves is a theme of this new moon. Notice where you are lacking nourishment. Notice where you are lacking in love, attention, and light and give it the nourishment it needs. It is only when we are nourished that we can really experience true abundance. #energyupdate #newmoon #abundance

In this June Solstice 2022 energy update we discuss how many of us are going through a collective death portal around this June 21st summer solstice. Spirit is asking us to take a leap of faith and trust that the universe has us. I know for me the energy has been some of the most challenging in memory. Every time I try to grasp at certainty the universe tells me to let go of fixed ideas and expand further. In order to expand into the new life room we are being asked to die to our old self and let go of judgments and safety, and become available to deep receptivity.

In this May Full Moon Energy Update 2022 we discuss the energy of the May 16th blood full moon and lunar eclipse. There is a lot going on with this full moon! It is the first full lunar eclipse of this year, the second of which will be November 8th. This six-month window represents a portal of powerful transformational potential. Some of the themes you may be noticing is that you've been in a “past life review,” are reclaiming suppressed aspects of yourself, and are finally starting to gain clarity about where you are and where you are going. Many may find they have been in a “past life review” over the past few weeks. During these past life reviews we tend to look back at prior versions of ourselves and our lives through rose colored lenses. We focus on the good things and conveniently forget about the bad. We remember the good times about our past relationship but forget about the fights. We remember the stability and good pay of an old job but forget about hating it. We remember what was good about the past, but neglect to remember the seeds of destruction that made the past unsustainable. If you find yourself in a past life review remember the good times and the challenges. What was the seed of destruction that made the past unsustainable? If you do that you will learn from the past and call in a new creation that has a firmer foundation. A lot of us may find we are also reclaiming suppressed aspects of ourselves, and this is showing up in the ways we self sooth during difficult times. Maybe you've been feeling called to self sooth with things you thought you had outgrown that you don't think are “spiritual.” We all have a “go to” when things are tough. For many it is some combination of sex, booze/cannabis, and food. Whatever your preferred mode of self-soothing be gentle with yourself. We don't repeat lessons, we merely encounter them from a higher state of consciousness. Remember that every desire can be elevated to a sacred and even sacramental expression. Simply try to bring as much consciousness to the activity you are engaged in as possible and try to find the sacred expression of the unmet need being expressed through you. A beautiful example of this process is the practice of sacred sexuality, where the desire for sexual gratification is elevated to the sacramental. Finally, many of us are starting to experience clarity about where we are and where we are going. For the last month many of us have been experiencing a lot of confusion, and that confusion has prevented us from acting. But with this full moon and lunar eclipse the scales will fall from our eyes, and the truth will be fully revealed in June. The clarity of May and June will catalyze action in July and the remainder of the year! A major theme for this year is birthing. What new creations are you giving birth to?

In this May Energy Update 2022 we do a deep dive into the energies so far this year, what to expect in May, and some themes for the rest of the year. The overarching theme for the month of May is patience, because while Easter may have come and gone many of us who had death experiences in April are not yet ready for resurrection. The first quarter of this year gave many of us a great deal of clarity about our lives, missions, and how we might best serve in the world. This clarity sparked a choice in April, which lead to the death of those things that were no longer in alignment. As we move into May and eclipse season we are being confronted with the infinite possibilities for the future, but the choice ultimately comes down to evolution or regression. What will you do with the clarity you gained during the first part of the year? Will you try to forget the inconvenient truths and carry on as you did before? Or will the clarity and insights you gained serve as the foundation for the rest of your life? The light can at times be blinding, especially when it reveals unconscious and unloving aspects of ourselves. That sort of self-revelation can be very uncomfortable. When we are confronted with our shadows we can either bring humility and loving awareness to them, or we can curse the light and flee from it. The collective is also being confronted with the choice between evolution and regression. The intensity of light and consciousness hitting the planet is revealing all of our unconscious and unhealed parts and amplifying those places where we lack alignment with one another. This can catalyze war and strife or profound healing and transformation. The clarity of the first part of the year and the choices that were made in April have set the stage for May and the upcoming eclipse season. May is the gestation phase of the rebirthing process. The gestation phase is uncomfortable for many of us. When we are between death and rebirth our minds can drive us mad with worry, and that worry can cause us to act prematurely. Instead of worrying about everything that could go wrong, try to remain aligned with what you know to be true and simply listen for opportunities to align with it. Remain steadfastly committed to truth, alignment, and integrity throughout May. Listen to your inner voice, and not the voice in your head. By June and July the gestation phase will begin culminating into the inevitable rebirth. Will you go back to the old, safe, and familiar, or sit in the infinite possibilities for your future and remain committed to moving forward and not backward? July throughout the rest of the year will be a period of profound and unrelenting transformation and birthing. For now enjoy the gestation phase of the evolution process.

In this podcast we discuss the Tantric Relationship Between Yoga and Shamanism. Yoga and Shamanism are seen by some as mutually exclusive, however I've found they are actually two sides of the same tantric coin. Both are systems of spiritual evolution that include technologies that purify the mind, body, and soul to enable more of our soul awareness to shine through. However, while yoga concerns itself with daily practices that include meditation, pranayama, movement, and life-style, the shamanic path utilizes plant medicines and ecstatic states. While many schools of yoga discourage the use of any "intoxicants" I would argue that far from being intoxicants, plant medicines are just that - medicine - which if used properly accelerate our spiritual evolution. My journey with plant medicines began in 2019 after eight years of Kriya yoga practice. Initially I was hesitant to work with plant medicines because the two things seemed incompatible. However, in working with plant medicines I quickly learned that plant medicines are a portal to direct communion with the divine, and can beneficially accelerate the spiritual path. Yoga practices and lifestyle are the best foundation I've found for plant medicine work. The moral restraints of the yamas and niyamas and the practices of pranayama and meditation create a firm spiritual foundation that enables one to integrate plant medicine experiences in a balanced and beneficial way.

In this April Full Moon Energy Update 2022 we discuss humanity's near death experience. We are in the season of death and resurrection, and many of us are in the death phase. But fear not! After the death comes the resurrection!

In this April New Moon 2022 transmission we share channeled guidance from the archangelic realm and ascended masters of Melkisedek. Individually, collectively, and as a planet we are in the birthing process. When you are in the birthing process it is unclear whether you will live or die or whether it will be a live birth and or stillbirth.  

In this March Equinox 2022 energy update we discuss the energetic themes of the March 20th Equinox. The major themes of this March Equinox relate to creation, destruction, and healing of the energy of control. As solar cycle 25 continues its progression towards solar maximum in late 2024 we are seeing an increase in the amount of fire energy present on the planet. The increase in solar activity is causing an acceleration and intensification of pre-existing trends. The energies at play around this March Equinox will continue to be intensified throughout 2024. As we approach this Equinox we are dealing with the energy of control as it relates to the creative and destructive qualities of the fire element. The element of fire is the key to both death and rebirth. As the physical manifestation of spirit it holds infinite possibilities. At this time the fires of war rage in the Ukraine in a rampage of destruction. Elsewhere the fires of creativity are birthing the New Earth. Creation and destruction always walk hand in hand. Too much control and the fire of spirit goes out and both creation and destruction cease. Too little control and fire rampages in a destructive frenzy. The key to creation is the skillful use of discipline that allows what needs to be destroyed to be destroyed while creating safe space for what wants to be born to be born. As a planet and species we are fully in the energetic atmosphere of fourth density. The bars of third density limitation are fading away and the doors to our cages are wide open. Yet most of humanity remains imprisoned in the obsolete paradigms of third density, which require ever more control and effort to maintain. This period of intensity will pass eventually. We simply have to trust that what needs to be destroyed will be destroyed in order for new growth to occur.  Even the most destructive fire holds the promise of regeneration. Each of us is remembering the truth of who and what we are as beings of light. The outward shells of our social identities and egos are being burned away or hardened, depending on the choices we make. Fourth density experience is available to those who align their hearts and minds with its vibrations. The field grows in intensity as two or more of that vibration gather in person, creating a squaring effect of their individual vibrations. Our fourth density civilization is being born through our individual awakening hearts gathered in sacred community. Fourth density is far from perfect. In truth it is simply the ending of our spiritual childhood and the beginning of our adolescence. It holds both beauty and pain. Love and hate. We simply choose to be with those who have also chosen love. #energyupdate #equinox #ascension

In this March New Moon 2022 Energy Update we discuss timeline slip and self care. Things have gotten pretty chaotic on the collective level. More than ever before we are being catalyzed to polarize our consciousness towards the positive or negative polarity. In these tumultuous times it is more important than ever to slow down and find peace within ourselves and our own mind. #energyupdate #newmoon #selfcare

In this February Full Moon Energy Update 2022 we discuss the energetic themes for the February full moon in Leo. The powerful crystalline energy of this full moon is catalyzing major shifts in consciousness that are forcing us into the unknown, and inviting us to trust that our inner mastery will carry us towards the highest possible outcome. This is the moment of truth. While change might have once felt slow and plodding, now you may find that things are shifting so quickly that you can't keep up. As crystalline light hits the planet with greater intensity old heavy energies based in fear and separation are being boiled to the surface for expression, healing, and release. Sometimes that may feel like you are being asked to step right up to edge of the abyss and jump into the unknown. Most of us tend to avoid conflict and confrontation if at all possible. So we bury and avoid our differences, and co-exist at a superficial level. We all have people in our lives who we get along with precisely because we keep things superficial and avoid situations that would force us to confront those places where we lack alignment. Sometimes those differences are small, other times they are fundamental to who we are. A painful but necessary part of the ascension process being catalyzed by the crystalline energy of this full moon is confronting our differences. As consciousness becomes more illuminated it becomes more difficult to abide in a false peace based on a superficial understanding of one another. When we confront our differences and bring them to the surface we step into the unknown. Will there be war? Will there be transformation and reconciliation that allows for greater truth and harmony? Will we part ways and accept that our differences are irreconcilable at this time? These confrontations are playing out both at the collective level and within our individual lives. On the macroscopic level we are in the midst of an evolutionary split, with some embodying the light more than ever before and with others regressing to more tribal and individualistic states of consciousness. In our individual lives we may find there is an acceleration of old relationships ending or transforming and new relationships based on greater vibrational accord beginning. These earthly dramas are byproducts of our karma, and have been lifetimes in the making. Whatever confrontation you find yourself in, remember this situation was specifically designed for your healing, evolution, or growth. Our roles are always changing, sometimes we are the protagonist, antagonist, student, teacher, or healer. Perhaps the nature of our role depends on the perspective from which it is viewed. Whatever role you find yourself playing, trust that the situation you find yourself in has both an opportunity for you to be of service to others and to advance your own evolutionary journey. This is the moment of truth. We can no longer ignore our differences. We are at a point of necessary confrontation.  We are in need of resolution. One way or another. We are in need of healing and reconciliation, or the clarity to know when our differences are irreconcilable, the maturity to let that be ok, and the wisdom to go our separate ways in peace. Those who seek peace may nevertheless find themselves the object of another's war. This has always been the case. Peace lovers have always been given the choice by those who wish to wage war upon them to either consent to their own destruction, or defend themselves and that which is sacred. Will there be war, peace, healing, or the infliction of greater injury? It's hard to say. We live in a free will universe. Everyone gets a say. The future is written in the present moment. We may have some vague idea of how things might work out - but people can always surprise you. As you step into the abyss trust that your inner mastery will carry you forward in the present moment to the highest possible outcome. Allow things to remain fluid until the moment of decision arises and the path is set. Your duty is to maintain the highest ethical standards, the purest heart, and a steadfast commitment to being of service to others. Do that and the winds of fate will carry you to exactly where you need to go. Trust in your mastery, and you will achieve the highest good. What needs to transform will transform, and you will end up in a place of greater peace, love, and understanding.

People can only perceive you from their level of consciousness. Unless you are growing really quickly you might not even notice. But if you find yourself in the midst of rapid evolution, then you may find that the people around you are able to perceive less and less of you. This can make it feel like you are disappearing.

In this February New Moon Energy Update 2022 we discuss the energetic themes for the February 1st new moon. We've been saying for some time that 2022 was going to be an ascension rocket ship. But so far this year it has felt a bit like an “ascension roller coaster” as the transition from one life room to another begins in earnest. Many of us continue to feel like we are navigating a space between the old and new. The new life room based on a higher state of consciousness is experientially available to us. Perhaps you are getting a preview of what it looks and feels like to be the next highest version of yourself. Yet much of the old remains, awaiting final release before moving fully into the new life room that awaits. These transitionary phases between the old and new can be very challenging. It is often at this time that fear and doubt are most apt to arise and cause us to second guess our new path. The questioning mind wants a detailed image of what the new life room will look like, and a clear exit strategy from the old. However, you are never going to have it all figured out and you can only plan so much for what is yet to be. Rather than allowing yourself to be paralyzed by all of the unknowns, trust that as you align with the highest possibility for your life and move steadfastly towards it that the details will work themselves out easier than you thought possible. The universe is always conspiring to clarify our intentions, priorities, and desires. All of the contrast and difficulty we experience is trying to help us get really clear on who we are, what we are, and how we serve. Every bump along the path is an invitation to either double down on your current trajectory or change coarse. Some challenges are intended to strengthen our resolve. Others invite us to re-examine our path and priorities and choose another. Try not to get to lost in the mind's game of “what if?” Keep it simple. Identify the highest possibility available to you and align with it with steadfast commitment. Continue to listen to spirit as you walk towards that new vision for your life, and as each challenge arises let what needs to be transformed transform in order to move forward.  Welcome what wants to be and release what no longer serves you with grace.        

January Full Moon Energy Update 2022: Overcoming Exhaustion and Dropping Into Divine Flow

In this January New Moon Energy Update 2021 we discuss the energetic themes of the January 2nd new moon in Capricorn. This January new moon is the proverbial firing of the pistol starting the race of creation and expansion that is 2022. A tremendous amount of fire energy is entering the planet throughout 2022 and it is manifesting as both creation and destruction. Now is the time to ask what wants to be expressed through you, and to allow yourself to become possessed by what wants to be. When we become one pointed and aligned with our innate truth, we become a channel for infinite creative energy. From this place of deep alignment we have the capacity to birth new realities for ourselves and the collective. January and beyond are very supportive of physical creation and change. Our physical manifestations birthed through our alignment with innate truth are being blessed and empowered by a universe that wants them to be. The key to allowing what wants to be to be expressed through you is to allow yourself to enter into a deep state of surrender. Trust that what is yours cannot be taken from you, and what is not cannot stay. Allow the door to your life to swing wide open and allow the old to exit and the new to enter. Trust that your vibration is attracting what is needed and repelling what no longer serves. It is also important at this time to allow old partnerships to dissolve and new ones to come together. This can mean romantic, business, or the coming together in shared spiritual mission. The time of the lone wolf is over. The time of the beloved community is now. We can create so much more together than we can apart. Many of us have been doing it all alone for a long time. Or have been in partnerships without deep alignment with innate truth. Creating alone or in partnerships that aren't in alignment is very difficult, and it may feel like the universe has been conspiring against us. However, the universe is always conspiring in favor of our highest good. Sometimes that happens by showing us the limitations of what we can accomplish alone, or the ways in which our partnerships lack compatibility. The universe may be guiding you towards your destiny through the use of the “carrot and stick.” On one hand trying to go it alone or in partnerships that aren't in alignment may be bringing about discomfort and chaos – that is the stick. On the other some really beautiful opportunities for partnership and community based on innate truth and a shared desire to serve the common good may be presenting themselves in very enticing ways – that is the carrot. The universe is using the “carrot and stick” to guide us towards our destinies. That is how much we are loved, and how much the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible wants to be expressed through us.

In this December Solstice Ascension Energy Update 2021 we discuss the ascension energy for the December 21st solstice. A major theme for the December Solstice is the initiation of a period of accelerated ascension & descension that will last from 2022-2024. As we have often said 2022 is an "ascension rocketship" that will allow many of us to dramatically uplevel our consciousness and reshape our lives. From 2022-2024 we will be moving toward the solar maximum of solar cycle 25. That means sometime toward the end of 2024 the sun will hit its most active period in the last decade. These electromagnetic storms bombard the Earth with energy that both purifies the subtle body and makes new light codes available for the expansion of consciousness. The intensity of this energy creates opportunities for immense creation and ascension, as well as destruction and descension. Those who can constructively use the intense energy hitting the planet will be able to manifest their new life room at an accelerated rate and align their physical reality with a higher state of consciousness. Those unable to harness this energy may find it is manifesting in chaotic ways causing a descension in consciousness and life circumstances. The years 2022-2024 will be a period of intense creation and destruction, a period of ascension for some and descension for others. However, even descension serves the ascension of this planet - as darkness always serves the light. For the planet to ascend everything that has been created in darkness and separation must be brought to the light. #ascension #solstice #energyupdate

In this December Full Moon Energy Update 2021 we discuss the energetic themes for the December full moon in Gemini. The theme of this December full moon is that we are crossing the “Bridge to Destiny.” Many of us are closing out major chapters in our lives and clearing the path for new creations and a new life room in 2022 and beyond. How smooth that transition goes will depend in large part on how committed we are to letting go of what no longer serves and embracing what does.  Many of us are in the “clean up” phase of releasing old karmic patterns and life circumstances that no longer serve our soul's evolution. Sometimes that can be a messy process as we release lifetimes of karma in a very short period of time.  The energy on the planet will continue to crescendo in intensity throughout 2022-2024 as we approach the solar maximum of this 11 year solar cycle. As it intensifies many will find that everything that is not in integrity and alignment in our lives is in a process of dissolution. That includes our bodies, partnerships, and life circumstances.  Many are quite literally being presented with the choice to either die or evolve. If your body has ceased to be a vehicle for your soul's evolution and growth you may find it is no longer supporting you. In order to enjoy health and rejuvenation of the physical body as the energy on the planet continues to rise in vibration it is imperative that we align ourselves with our most authentic truth and break the karmic patterns that have kept us in a rut for lifetimes Similarly as Venus goes into retrograde from December 19th though January 29, 2022 our partnerships may be in a process of falling apart and coming together. Partnerships (romantic, platonic, or business) without deep alignment based in the highest integrity will find it very difficult to survive the energy of the next month.  During this time of reordering of timelines and partnerships continue to move towards the room with the most light, and let that which no longer serves you go. The most dangerous thing to be right now is undecided. We stand at a crossroad, and the universe may be urging you towards positive transformation with both a “carrot and stick.” On one hand the new opportunities and partnerships coming into our lives are of a higher order of consciousness and vibration than what has come before. Put simply there is the potential for more light, love, and joy in them. This is the carrot and it is very alluring, if you don't let fear convince you it is too good to be true. It is truly an opportunity to co-create this next chapter of our lives with our soul families.  On the other hand the current liferoom with its limited opportunities and relationships that no longer serve our soul's evolution may feel very uncomfortable. All the places where there is lack of alignment and integrity are coming to the surface and the forces of entropy are making maintaining the status quo nearly impossible.  When you commit to walking towards the new liferoom with more light you will find the carrot is enticement enough to evolve and transform, and that you don't need as much encouragement from negative experiences to transform. On the other hand if you try to cling to that which is trying to fall apart, you may find things getting very difficult and uncomfortable.  The key crossing this bridge to our destiny is our commitment to healing, higher consciousness, and integrity in our thoughts, actions, and deeds. When we align with those things we find our way is clear, and that all the beauty and abundance we could ever want is ready to come into our lives. 

In this Chris Plourde interview we discuss climbing the second mountain. By our mid 20s or 30s many of us find we have climbed the first mountain of life, or discover we were climbing the wrong one to start with. In this interview with Chris Plourde, a conscious performance coach, we discuss what to do when you've gone as far as conventional wisdom can take you and are looking for deeper meaning and purpose. If the first mountain of life is the one of conventional wisdom, the second mountain is that of meaning and purpose. The skills from the first summit will serve you well here. Though perhaps in unexpected ways. In this interview with Chris we also discuss how it is necessary to take action to achieve your dreams, no matter how small, and how our transformational work benefits everyone in our lives. #selfactualization #personaldevelopment #secondmountain

In this December New Moon Energy Update 2021 we discuss the energetic themes for the December 4th New Moon and solar eclipse. The theme for this December New Moon is integration. We are integrating our yin and yang, past and future, and the 3D and higher dimensional aspects of our beings. As we prepare the board the ascension rocket ship of 2022 we are integrating and elevating that from the past which serves our new life roles and new life room, and letting the rest go. The energy of the December New Moon in Sagittarius is giving us the fire to start something new and enter into our new life room and role for 2022. But first it is inviting us to enter into a state of deep receptivity. Before we act it is important to first stop and listen for what wants to be. When we act from this place of receptivity and flow we will find our actions are supported and that we have all the energy we need to accomplish our tasks. However, if we are too much in our minds and not listening we may find ourselves feeling exhausted and stuck. When we are too much in our worry and judgment it can feel like we have no good options to choose from. This can lead to paralysis, which keeps us stuck in unhappy patterns. If you find yourself feeling stuck identify the option with the most light and possibilities, or the least bad option - and just do it! The time to act is now! The time to choose is now!  As we often say heaven on Earth doesn't usually show up in our lives fully formed. It comes disguised in the lessons we need to learn in order to realize it into our physical realities. Often, our ideal life circumstances come to us as a diamond in the rough that we simply need to patiently excavate. Many of us have been choosing the "least bad option" or the room with the most light in it in a dark corridor for a long time. Each time we navigate our way to a room with a little more light in it, new rooms with even more light in them become available to us, and as we navigate towards them we find our lives become progressively more light filled. Many of us have been doing this invaluable work for a long time, and are finally approaching an inflection point. A room beckons full of light, laughter, and love that makes all the others look dim. As we enter into the new life room and claim new life roles for 2022 and beyond don't be surprised if the future includes aspects of the past. One thing always builds upon another. The skills and experiences that got you to where you are will be reclaimed at a higher level of consciousness as you enter the next room with more light. Be willing to take the best the past has to offer, and put it to use creating the next version of yourself. As we approach 2022 and beyond we are truly on the leading edge of creation. The impossible is becoming not only possible, but actualized! The most dangerous thing to be right now is undecided. When we don't choose the universe tends to turn up the discomfort until we choose or it chooses for us. Your steadfast commitment to walking into the next room with the most light is your greatest ally!  

In this November Full Moon Energy Update 2021 we discuss the energetic themes for the November full moon in Taurus. This full moon and the November 19th lunar eclipse marks the end of one life phase and the beginning of another, as many of us are exiting the life room we have been in and entering a new life room full of new possibilities.  Throughout 2021 we've been asked to choose what the next highest version of ourselves and lives will look like. You may have noticed that you have been confronted with two or more possible paths for your future throughout 2021, and in recent weeks the pressure to choose one of them has intensified. As we enter this fifteen day eclipse corridor from the November 19th lunar eclipse to the December 4th solar eclipse, choices are being locked in for 2022, and not making a choice is still choosing. There is no opting out.  The time for choosing what your next life room will be is now.  For many this means new jobs, new partners, and new cities. Everything is on the table for update and expansion as we align with our 2022 ascension timelines.  The gift of the 11/11 portal has been clarity. In recent weeks we have been given a clear picture of the choices before us - the good, the bad, and the ugly.  When the opportunity to realize our dreams shows up in our lives it rarely comes fully formed. Instead it comes with both the potential of our most beautiful dreams, along with the lessons we need to learn in order to realize them.  It is tempting to live in anticipation of the time when all our problems will be resolved and life will just be one unending paradise. However, as we often say, heaven is not somewhere you go but is something you realize. Even “heaven” is a work in progress, and is not without its lessons and challenges. The lessons of heaven are just of a higher octave of vibration than the ones that came before.  Each of us is on an infinite evolutionary path, and while our problems may get more elevated, refined and fewer, they continue to exist right up until we dissolve back into the creator. As long as we are separate beings with a finite perspective we are on an evolutionary journey that will include discomfort and lessons.  The invitation for us is to learn the lessons before us in an efficient manner, and greet each new challenge as an opportunity to expand our consciousness and become more peaceful, loving, and fearless.  In recent weeks you may have become more aware of both the challenges and opportunities of the new life room you are entering. Maybe it won't be all sunshine and rainbows like you may have hoped. But if everything was already perfect there would be no lessons to learn, and no opportunities to grow or be of service to others.  The opportunity before us is to enter into a new life room with more light, more elevated lessons, and more opportunities to embody and express our soul awareness. It won't be “perfect,” and you wouldn't want it to be. We enter the new life room not only to savor the view, but also to be of service to those who are in there with us in a new and expanded way. As we enter this new life room it is tempting to adapt the self to the new life circumstances rather than showing up as our most authentic selves. Resist the inner politician's urge to replace the old mask with a new one. In order for the new room not to become a new prison, remain nakedly authentic as you greet new people and new life circumstances.  It is also important to travel lightly as we enter the new life room. Leave the baggage from the past behind. If you bring it with you the new life room will soon look like the old. Because your stories and patterns simply recreate the past with only cosmetic changes.  Greet the new life room free from expectations and stories, and appreciate it with  eyes full of childlike wonder.  If you are able to show up to the new life room nakedly authentic and free from your past stories, you will see that infinite possibilities await you. Life can be truly beautiful and full of miracles. Your life can reflect your highest values and most evolved state of consciousness. It won't be perfect, and you wouldn't want it to be. The lessons that await us will only make our lives more beautiful and rich. 

In this November Ascension Energy 2021 video we discuss “The Crucible” many of us are passing through in November. The entire year of 2021 has been a year of choice. Many of us are being asked to choose once and for all what the next highest version of ourselves looks like. Many choices have already been made, but many of the biggest are yet to come. The decisions we've made so far this year have led us to a moment of truth in November. Are you ready to fully commit to the path ahead? Are you ready to make the sacrifices that will be asked? Whenever we have an opportunity for major transformation or service to others we are often greeted with interference energy. This is the universe testing us to see whether we are ready to serve the light in a bigger way. The purpose of this interference energy is to root out any doubt or self-sabotaging tendencies we me have and to galvanize our will. Once we are clear that what we are doing is serving the highest good and commit to a course of action, the sabotage energy falls away and we become divinely supported by the universe. November is “the crucible” we must pass through to board the ascension rocket ship in 2022.

In this November Ascension Energy 2021 video we discuss the 11/11 portal and synchronicity. The ascension energies for November entail a lot of movement and flow. Many of the themes and projects we've been working on since the March Equinox 2021 are coming to completion and beginning a new phase of expansion. The month of November is a month of manifestation and experience, whereas October was a month of choice. The choices made in October are manifesting in November and setting into motion the events and energies for 2022. The major theme for the November ascension energies is manifestation and synchronicity. For many November will be a month of dreams coming true, as energetic potentialities solidify into physical reality. For others the entropy inherent in decisions made outside of integrity will teach many some hard lessons. The 11/11 portal is inherently one of duality and synchronicity. For those who have been following spirit's lead and acting from impeccable integrity, faith, and a selfless desire to be of service the currents of destiny are strong and flowing in your favor. All you have to do is continue to align with these qualities of being and flow towards the highest outcome for your life. You will be supported and guided every step of the way. Everything you need during this period of manifestation will be there in perfect divine timing, with far more ease than you may have expected. This is the positive expression of the 11/11 portal energies.  The opposite of synchronicity is entropy. Those who have been acting outside of integrity or from selfishness may find that all their best laid plans are going wrong. When we act contrary to truth we step outside the divine flow of the infinite intelligence of the universe. Instead of everything working out better than expected with far more ease, it may feel like the universe is out to get you. This is the negative synchronicity many may find themselves experiencing around this time. The 11/11 portal energies are also being supercharged by the two last eclipses of the year. On November 19th there will be a lunar eclipse followed by a solar eclipse on December 4th. This portal is continuing to nurture those things created in our lives from a higher state of consciousness, while dissolving that which is no longer in vibrational accord. With the lunar eclipse being in Taurus, expect home and family to be strongly impacted by these energies. Many of us have been carrying heavy burdens for a long time. For some of us it is the story of “should” that prescribes how life should be and tells us what isn't possible. For others it may be a karmic relationship that has had many lessons and gifts but has run its course. November is an opportunity to lay down burdens of every kind. Often our story of “should” and karmic relationships are interlinked. The story of “should” keeps us in the relationships. We've told ourselves they need us. We've told ourselves they can't make it without us. We've told ourselves our happiness should be subordinate to their need. When the truth is we don't know who we would be without them. We don't know who we would be if we were free, and we are afraid of the freedom letting go of “should” would bring. When we let go of the story of should and instead abide in what is true and real, our karmic relationships will transform or fall away. When we let go of our stories of “should” this month, all of our burdens will fall away and/or be transformed by the light of truth. This is the final drop off before boarding the rocket ship of ascension taking off in 2022!

In this November New Moon Energy Update 2021 we discuss the energetic themes for the November New Moon in Scorpio. The overarching themes for this November New Moon are polarization, internal earthquakes, and kickoff for 2022 energies. There are two very distinct timelines playing out on the planet right now. On one hand there is escalating chaos and despair, while on the other the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible is being born. While these different timelines represent two different paths, we can rest assured that the darkness is serving the light and that for many the chaos and weirdness of this Scorpio New Moon is breaking us down to break is open. During Scorpio season it is useful to expect the weird and unexpected. Many of us are going through a very intense corridor of catalyst, that may be bringing about clarity by triggering our unhealed trauma. A major issue many may be noticing in themselves and others is the energy of projection and being triggered. During Scorpio season our subconscious patterns and triggers are on full display. Many may be feeling very emotional and raw. Things that ordinarily wouldn't bother us may feel intolerable. If you find yourself being triggered take a deep breath and try to notice what the underlying issue is that is making you feel the way you are feeling. Is it really the person triggering you, or some unhealed aspect of yourself? Moreover, if you find yourself unexpectedly attacked by someone who is acting from their injury and not seeing you, take a step back. Is this about you or some unhealed story that is being activated within them? Does this person have enough consciousness to try an illuminate and heal the pattern that is being activated, or do you need to just keep your distance until they have calmed down and are seeing you more clearly? It is important to exercise discernment at this time. Is the person attacking you asking for your assistance in some way to gain healing and insight, or are they just acting unconsciously, and you are stuck in the crosshairs? As we transit this corridor of energy as awakened beings, we must have enough discernment not to call ourselves to service where it is not wanted. If someone is deep in their injury and lashing out, it may be that the best thing we can do is simply remove ourselves from the situation. However, if someone is drowsing and is aware they are triggered and interested in healing, then there may be an opening for breakthrough. For those who are drowsing the best thing we can do is bring our awakened presence to the situation. During this time when many are being pulled into their subconscious patterns and injury, offering the comforts of sleep to the sleeping and presence to the drowsing is how the light serves the dark. As things continue to intensify on this planet this guidance will be essential for navigating the ongoing polarization of consciousness. It is getting harder and harder for those who are awake to be with those who are sleeping or drowsing. You may find the sleeping don't want to see you and the drowsing are triggered by your presence. Which can be lonely and uncomfortable. However, this loneliness and discomfort are drawing us into community with other awakened beings of a similar vibration, even as it is pushing us out of relationship with those that are no longer in vibrational accord. The awakened are not immune to the escalating planetary chaos resulting from collective decisions made in fear and separation. But despite outward appearances, we are able to see whatever comes our way as a blessing. When things in our life get shaky and fall apart, we have faith that we are falling upward towards greater alignment, abundance, and joy. The energy of this New Moon is strongly linked to the energy of 2022. The things set in motion around this New Moon will define the energy of 2022 and beyond. Many are using the intensity of this period for spiritual evolution and growth, and to empower their decision to bring life circumstances into greater alignment with their core vibration. Others are fighting change tooth and nail and clinging to a past that no longer wants to be. We get to choose which path we are going to walk, and there will be opportunities to change course along the way. But the further we walk down one path or another, the harder that will become.

In this October Full Moon Energy Update 2021 we discuss the energetic themes for the October 20th full moon in Aries. The theme of this October full moon is the initiation of the true self. Many of us have been in an initiatory period since the September Equinox that has been inviting us to realize who we are, what we are, and how we serve. This has meant being challenged to acknowledge and embody our soul desires and reclaim our personal power. The seat of the “self” is the sacral chakra, where our soul first becomes individuated from source. The sacral chakra seated in the lower abdomen is where our “gut feelings” and soul desires live. The more we align with our gut feelings and desires the more we align with our soul, and the more vital energy we have to express our individuated soul essence. Empaths in particular tend to abandon themselves at some point in their lives and lose touch with their gut feelings and soul desires. Putting their own desires last and deferring to the stronger emotions of others, they give away all their vital energy and personal power. The energy of this full moon is helping empaths take back their power and reconnect with their soul desires. For many people this has meant healing lifetimes of karmic patterns of self-denial and abdication. Many of these difficult initiations have called us to stand up for ourselves once and for all and assert our own needs and desires. This can be a difficult thing when people are use to us just going along with their agenda. Some relationships may not survive this awakening of your personal power. The three-way split of the planetary ascension continues to accelerate, and the full moon is yet another inflection point. As we've said previously, 2022 is the ascension rocketship where many people are being given the opportunity to align their lives and state of consciousness with heaven on Earth. While others continue to cling to the status quo, and others still are descending into ever more hellish timelines. The status quo timelines are continuing to deteriorate, as the universe says, “No more going back to sleep!” From here out we get to pick our teacher, and we can learn through pleasure or pain. As we align ourselves and lives with truth and love, we have the opportunity to learn the lessons of love through the pleasure of being alive. However, when we fail to embody truth and love the catalyst will continue to intensify and become ever more painful. This isn't punishment, it is simply cause and effect. As above so below. Like attracts like. The universe is mirroring us. The universe will continue to mirror our state of being for better or worse. This is your chance to make your life heavenly from the inside out.

In this video we discuss Becoming Mythic! and the process of Remaking the Self. The ego gets a bad rap, because most people have an unhealed ego and operate in the world from their injury. However, the ego is simply our 3D vessel for interacting with the world. When we realize EVERYONE is merely a temporal expression of their higher self you begin to see everyone as divinity wearing a mask. Which also allows us to start holding our own ego identity more lightly. When we realize the ego is a useful tool but a terrible master, we can start being creative about how we use it. This is what is meant by the saying, "The mystic makes the self." When we become detached from the ego we can remake the self to serve the needs of any moment. Sometimes the story of the old self becomes so strong that we need a new name or to move cities to recreate the self and express a different aspect of our being. These "permission slips" can help us birth a new mythic version of ourselves that is a more authentic and fuller expression of the totality of our being.

In this October New Moon Energy Update 2021 we discuss the energetic themes for the October new moon. The major themes for the October new moon are “integrating the human” and getting unstuck. There are two opposite but complementary currents of energy during this new moon. On one hand many people may be feeling tired and stuck right now. On the other there is an incredible opportunity right now for rebirth and upgrading our life circumstances. It is the discomfort of our stuckness that pushes us to undertake the adventure of our rebirth. One moment when can feel perfectly content with our lives. The next we are feeling stuck and dissatisfied. As our consciousness evolves we view our life through a new lens. Causing once comfortable routines and life circumstances to feel deeply out of alignment. If you are feeling stuck recognize that you have more power to change your life than you think. Most of our stuckness is based on our inability to imagine a life different than our present moment. If you've been living your life in the same routines, seeing the same people, and doing the same stuff for months, years, or decades, don't be surprised if you are feeling stuck! You just can't imagine anything different! Remember your warden is your habits and perspective, and you can change those anytime you want! In order to get unstuck introduce some novelty into your life. Take a vacation or even a day trip to a nearby city. Go somewhere new, meet new people, do the unexpected. Identify the most painful aspect of your stuckness and change it! Create new habits that bring beauty and pleasure into your life on a daily basis. Play an instrument, sing, dance, create art. Our feeling of stuckness is always an invitation to upgrade our everyday life. It is our soul telling us we need more beauty, more novelty, and deeper alignment. Each of us is in the process of “integrating the human” with the divine. Maybe the human and all its quirks and stuckness is on full display right now. Remember to love it and accept it instead of damning it and casting it into shadows. It is through our love and acceptance of all the parts of our being that the human is reclaimed and remade in the image of the divine. The next three to six months represent a huge opportunity to birth heaven on Earth in our lives through our own awakening hearts. As we often say, ascension is an inside out process. Nobody is coming to save us. We aren't going to be raptured to another dimension. What would be the fun in that? The work that is ours to do is to transform ourselves and our lives on a daily basis in both profound and mundane ways. Step by step, we are moving towards our soul tribe, ideal life circumstances, and a new way of showing up in the world. 

In this October Ascension Energy Update 2021 we discuss the ascension energy for October. Since the September Equinox we have been in an intense period of initiation and uplevel. There is some INTENSE crystalline energy hitting the planet right now that is inviting us to ascend to the next level of consciousness. Over the next three months you have the opportunity to receive the initiations and upgrades you need to board the 2022 Ascension Rocketship! Going into 2022 it is no longer just about personal ascension and upleveling. For those on the positive path of evolution 2022 and beyond are all about finding your soul tribe, embodying New Earth in your everyday lives, and ascending together. Together we RISE! New vistas of consciousness are available to those willing to align with it. Over the weekend during medicine ceremony I received Darshan with Divine Mother. I had been feeling stuck, and sensed a heaviness in my energy field that was preventing me from fully aligning with the incoming crystalline energy. Fortunately months earlier spirit had arranged for me to sit with Mother the last weekend of September. During that ceremony I was invited to surrender completely to my Divine Mother, and to release my residual pride and the story of "I can do it all alone." When I fully surrendered I was greeted with the overwhelming opulence of God. I was shown so much infinite beauty that I begged for mercy, and prayed to be a little body again so that I might appreciate the beauty in a more manageable dose. It was at that time my body was filled with the opulence of God. Every cell of my body became permeated with conscious light, and I realized completion. If the first ceremony was about self and god realization, the next was about being a humble servant to the healing and evolution of this planet. Words are inadequate to express all that I experienced. But I am feeling called to continue sitting with Divine Mother over the next few months. I will share those experiences as they arise. What does your uplevel look like? How are you embodying your highest state of awakened consciousness? Have you found your soul tribe? Are you consenting to the next level of initiation? Let me know. #ascension #newearth #togetherwerise

Be a F*cking Peacock! Shine Bright! In a recent ceremony a peacock came to me and told me it was my spirit animal. A peacock? Hard to believe. Yet there it is, and I see the ways in which it is so true. The peacock told me to stop hiding my light. To stop choosing to be invisible. The peacock is a manifestation of god's opulent beauty. The peacock isn't afraid to be noticed. The peacock adorns the world like a brilliant jewel, elevating all around it with its presence. No more hiding. Time to be bright. Time to be flashy. Time to be just a little “extra.” Time to be a peacock. #spiritanimal #shamanism #shinebright

In this September Full Moon Energy Update 2021 we discuss the energetic themes for the September 20th harvest full moon. This September full moon coincides with the September 22nd fall equinox. Together these portals are bringing about major endings, and the shifting of our physical reality into a higher frequency of expression. A major theme of this full moon is integrating all the different aspects of ourselves, as we bring all the gifts, lessons, and skills of our past forward into the future. Many of us have spent a lot of time daydreaming about the best possible outcome for our lives. We've envisioned the perfect lover, the perfect job, the ideal life circumstances, and the desire for that possible future is often the fuel that powers our transformational journey. However, our daydreams about the future can only ever be projections of the past. The future by its very nature is unknown. Perhaps we can glean the broad outlines of what the future might look like by studying the past. But its actual manifestation into the present moment always has an element of the unexpected. The hazard is in becoming too attached to our daydreams, and not recognizing our “dreams come true” when they show up in our lives because they don't look exactly the way we thought they would. While daydreaming can be a useful tool for exploring what we desire, it is ultimately a function of the small self. It is a byproduct of ego and mental and emotional impressions. The higher self, which is the totality of our being outside of time and space has no need for daydreams. It is the byproduct of all experiences in every dimension and lifetime, and simply abides. Instead of encountering life through the lens of our ego with its stories, judgments, and comparisons strive to encounter life through the perspective of the higher self/witnessing awareness. Simply abide in the present moment without judgments or caparisons. What is had to be or it would not be – there is no use wishing for a better past or present moment. We can only trust it is has a lesson for us and an opportunity for our healing, evolution, and growth. This is important to keep in mind, because as we traverse the energy of this harvest full moon we are harvesting all that was good and useful about our past and bringing it forward into the present moment to create the unknown future. As I have often shared I had my spiritual awakening about six months after passing the bar and beginning my legal career. My awakened eyes looked at the decisions of my former self with horror. The old self wanted to be a lawyer because he was chasing money, power, and prestige. While my awakened self wanted nothing more than to run off to the monastery and write poetry about god. However, worldly commitments kept me in the world. For the past ten years I've been honoring the karma of my former self as best I can. Though I've often been in resistance to my path I've had a successful legal career while cultivating my initial awakening through study and the practice of Kriya yoga. In 2020 my legal career was at a peak. In early 2020 I received a number of recognitions for my professional accomplishments including being named young alumni of the year by my law school and chairing the state young lawyer's division. These recognitions were the culmination of a decade of making the best of my situation and striving to be of service to others at every opportunity. Of course while I was receiving these recognitions the 3D world recognizing my accomplishments seemed to be on fire. Between climate change, political instability, and COVID winning at the “3D game” had a bitter taste. Since COVID cancelled all my 3D plans I decided to honor my soul desire to be of spiritual service to others. Using my first and middle name to create a distinction from my legal work I started making Youtube videos and offering individual coaching and healing. As this new version of me grew and came into being I needed distance from the old 3D life, and COVID provided a wonderful excuse. I cut those engagements down to a minimum and dedicated myself fully to the new higher vibrational outward manifestation of my being. As things have gone back to “normal' over the last six months or so there has often been discomfort between these two personas. I have often regretted that I could not leave the old self behind entirely in a clean break from the past. Yet in recent days these two seemingly irreconcilable aspects of my being have started to find integration; as the lawyer and mystic work together to create a future more beautiful and magical than I could have imagined. One of the most exciting things coming into being in my life right now is the opportunity to assist some friends with birthing a retreat center. Both the skills of the lawyer and the mystic's heart are needed for this venture, and the path to manifesting it is the bridge between them. Nothing is accidental. Every part of your being is needed. The new Earth is born not by casting the 3D self into shadows, but by reclaiming it at a higher vibration. The key to transforming our manifest reality is not found in running away from what has been. It is the path between our solar plexus and heart. It is the rainbow bridge of faith between what has been and what is yet to be. Through will, faith, and love all the masks we have worn throughout our lifetime can be melted and refashioned into something new. We are taking all the different aspects of ourselves and making a never-before-seen masterpiece.  

In this September Equinox 2021 Ascension Energy Update we discuss the energetic themes for the September 22nd Equinox. The last several weeks have been energetically challenging to say the least. As we said in our September New Moon video we have been experiencing a major purging and upgrading of the solar plexus and throat chakras. This has caused the 3D aspects of our lives to feel very uncomfortable. However, this discomfort has been preparing us for something. This new moon is bringing with it the beginnings of some really high vibrational new Earth energy, which will hit its stride around the September Equinox. We are building up to a tsunami of new Earth energy that will continue to build over the next few years. As we've discussed in previous videos we entered solar cycle 25 in December 2019. The sun experiences 11 year cycles of solar activity, where the number of solar storms waxes and wanes over an 11 year period. In 2019 we reached the solar minimum and began the ascent of increasing solar activity. It is expected that we will continue this ascent until we reach solar maximum sometime in 2024. The light codes transmitted through these solar storms is the means by which individual and planetary ascension occurs. The years 2019 through 2021 have been just the beginning of the planetary transformation ahead of us. Things will continue to accelerate as we move into the years of 2022-2025, when we hit solar maximum. COVID 19 came onto the planet around the beginning of the new solar cycle in the Winter 2019. When I've connected with that energy, I've sensed that it is a manifestation of the Earth's exhaustion, heartache, and pain. As we move into solar cycle 25 it has been inviting us to put 3D on hold, slow down, take stock, and attune to the incoming new Earth energy. Many of us have accepted that invitation and used the pause on 3D to plant and foster the seeds of new Earth in our lives. The incoming energy around the September Equinox is fertilizing those seeds of new Earth and giving them light and life. The 3D aspects of your life might feel really hard right now. Try to recognize it as the gift of contrast that is polarizing your desire to align with new Earth instead of damning it. Because what we damn damns us and sticks to us like glue. Only when there is neither push nor pull does a thing finally leave our lives. Try to move into blessing and gratitude of those difficult 3D energies. They are your teacher and your resentment only amplifies your mutual attraction. But more importantly, continue to nurture the new Earth energy in your life. Attune to it whenever you can. Maybe that means retreats, meditation, and walking in nature. The Earth herself is already resonating at the new Earth frequency. It is our human civilization and collective consciousness that continues to resonant at third density. As the planet herself continues to raise her vibration and attune with the new Earth frequency, 3D will continue to fall apart. But the seeds of new Earth within us and in our lives will continue to be nourished and supported. Mother Gaia is eager for the new Earth to be born and is supporting us every step of the way. Ultimately, we are being asked to consent to grace. We are riding on the river of destiny. Just stop trying to swim against the current. When you feel resistance to your 3D life circumstances try to bless them and allow the discomfort to polarize your desire for new Earth. When the opportunity for expansion comes, consent to your transformation and growth. Push past your internal resistance and be willing to step into the unknown. Mother's got you.

In this September New Moon Energy Update 2021 we discuss the energetic themes for the September New Moon. I major theme of the September New Moon is the incoming energy of fall which is calling us to turn inward. For the past few weeks we've also been experiencing some major purging and upgrading of our solar plexus and throat chakras, which is catalyzing a death and rebirth process for how we show up in the world. Many of us may find we are able to be in the world, but “not of it” most of the time. As we walk the spiritual path we may find we are usually able to rise above our physical circumstances and see the bigger picture. However, that has been very difficult in recent weeks. Around this new moon we are really being called to examine where we are walking our talk, and where we aren't. The places where our life circumstances are out of alignment with our state of consciousness have been very uncomfortable in recent weeks. Especially around livelihood. We can make a lot of progress toward greater alignment between soul and life circumstances by shedding the easy things that no longer resonate and are easy to eliminate. We can drift away from acquaintances, stop hanging out at bars, and stop spreading ourselves too thin with things we never wanted to do in the first place. But after we've let go of the easy stuff, the bedrocks of our lives remain. That often relates to family and livelihood. These are the places where we spend most of our time and energy, and if they aren't in alignment it impacts every other aspect of our lives. No amount of mantras or positive thinking can overcome a fundamental lack of alignment in the foundation of our lives. Sometimes the house with a faulty foundation has to be torn down, the bedrocks torn up and replaced, and built anew. The superficial repairs have been made. We've washed the windows, put on a new coat of paint, and spruced up the front yard. But if the foundation isn't solid and in alignment, the metaphorical house of our lives will not be able to weather the storm. Notice your discomfort. It is your teacher. Notice who your soul is calling you to be. It is your guide. Notice where the foundation is shaky and in need of repair. Notice when things are so out of alignment the only thing to do is tear it all down and start over. We have more freedom than we think. Most of those “immovable objects” in our lives are more moveable than we think. Our own conditioning and obedience to other people's expectations about who we are and how we show up in the world is often the biggest obstacle to change. We have more power than we think. Align with truth. Take off the masks. Rip up the foundations if you need to and start anew. Let go. Have faith and trust. Everything will be ok.  

In this September Energy Update 2021 we look at the energetic themes for the month of September. September is a month with profound transformational potential. As we navigate often chaotic and difficult energy, it is important to remember that darkness always serves the light. When we think of darkness we typically think of pain, suffering, and villains. To our human mind darkness should be avoided at all costs. However, as ascending masters we recognize that darkness is simply ignorance. It is a lack of knowledge of the self as being one with god and everything else. Our ignorance causes us to act in ways that deny our own divinity and the divinity of others. This creates pain, suffering, and cycles of karma that are all conspiring to help us remember who and what we are. All darkness holds within it a seed of ignorance, that we must reclaim as light by learning the lesson it is trying to teach us. Darkness is transformed by the light of our awareness. It must be seen and sometimes experienced to be healed and released. Our collective and individual anger and bellicosity have their roots in fear and unprocessed pain. Trauma is so omnipresent in the collective consciousness that we sometimes stop noticing it. We simply think of it as normal. The karmic patterns of war and bellicosity have primordial roots in the collective consciousness. The “pre-programed” responses to aggression and violence tend to perpetuate both. Creating new seeds of pain and trauma that reverberate into the future. As we play out these karmic cycles lifetime after lifetime the pain gets coated in ever more delusion until it becomes unrecognizable, and the karmic lessons become ever more harsh until we reclaim the ignorance in truth. The opportunity this month is to heal these old karmic patterns when they arise. The invitation is to transform darkness into light. Transformation calls us to cut through our illusions, break the chains of limitation, transcend duality, and be reborn. The alchemy we are being called to do in September is to use whatever darkness arises to serve the light, and whatever ignorance arises to serve the truth. When confronted with the old karmic patterns that have kept humanity trapped in pain, sorrow, and difficulty for generations, we are invited to simply let go. Let go of the preprogrammed responses. Let go of our own trauma. Let go and let the old self die and be transformed in the fires of adversity. September is calling us towards a deep let go, deep surrender, and deep trust. The key to navigating this transformational energy is to remain centered in your own mastery. Allow yourself to witness and not get caught up in the drama unfolding around you. Hold onto the self as the world turns upside down. It is your only sure footing. The non-dual appreciation of the ways in which darkness serves the light will be useful this month. Over the last several months many of us have been experiencing the inward drawn breath, waiting for…something. That breath will find its release this month. The energy of the September Equinox is marking the physical end and transformation of many cycles. We will discuss that energy later this month. Until then, hold onto the self. #energyupdate #ascensionenergy #transformation

In this August Full Moon 2021 Energy Update we discuss the energetic themes for the August 22nd full moon in Aquarius. The major theme for this full moon is that the “wheel of fortune” we've been spinning for the last month is about to land on the timeline that represents the next highest version of ourselves. This full moon marks the end of the Lion's Gate corridor of energy bookended by the July and August full moons in Aquarius.  During the Lion's Gate portal we received a lot of new “light codes” that have given us an opportunity to uplevel our consciousness. For the last several weeks those light codes have been integrating throughout our gross and subtle bodies.  As the Lion's Gate energy is integrating you may find a noticeable difference between the activity of the small self/personality and your soul awareness. The change happens at the soul level first, then situations arise to give us an opportunity to “correct” the activity of the small self to bring it into greater alignment with our soul awareness.  This can feel a bit like you are being tested by the universe to see whether you have learned the lessons from the old curriculum. During plant medicine ceremonies the spirit of the plant we usually inspect the energy body to determine what lessons are needed for the journey. I've noticed a similar phenomena in the last several weeks, as the universe has been “inspecting” our various energy centers to see what lessons are appropriate for the next ten year cycle.  As the Lion's Gate energy works its way through the subtle body into the gross body you may find yourself wanting to engage in physical cleaning and purging. If you are feeling that impulse, lean into it. Your soul knows best, and is inviting you to increase your physical vibration to match your increased soul awareness.  A big part of my journey over the last few weeks has been letting go of fear, judgment, and shame in the sacral chakra and practicing impeccability in word and integrity at the throat chakra.  Having grown up in the Appalachian mountains in a family of coal miners I had the idea imprinted on me at an early age that life is hard and joyless. You work hard, you support your family, then you die. Joy and pleasure are luxuries you cannot afford, and are not to be trusted.  I've done a lot of work overcoming this programming and connecting with my joy. But I'm still not embodying on a daily basis that robust love of life I know is possible. A lot of my work right now is continuing to say no to things that don't spark my joy and excitement, and leaning into that which does.  As a lawyer I was trained to manipulate the truth with reason to serve my agenda. That encouraged a sloppiness around truth that has had to be unlearned. Many of my lessons over the past few weeks have been around the importance of being impeccable with the truth, and doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do, even when it is to your detriment and nobody is watching.   Each of us will have been tested in our own ways over the past month. But we are all on the river of destiny which is pulling us towards the next highest version of ourselves. Our job is to keep paddling down the stream, listening to our inner guidance, and doing our best to avoid the rocks. 

In this episode on how to deal with fear and worry we talk about how confronting fear and worry is the best way to transcend them. Most of us are intimately familiar with fear and worry. For some they are infrequent visitors. For others they may be constant companions. Whatever your relationship with fear and worry, recognize they are of your own creation and you have the power to transcend them. You need not be a captive of your fears and worries. Your mind is the jailer and the jail cell. So it is completely within your control to liberate yourself. Many of us go through life walking in a cloud of our inchoate fears and worries, which color every life experience. When fear and worry are your constant companion you stop noticing them. Yet they influence every aspect of your life, and make your default setting one of unease. Instead of avoiding your fears and worries confront them. It is the only way you will ever be able to resolve them. It is the only way to free yourself from their influence. The unnamed and unspoken fear is far more insidious than one that has been named and quantified. When we identify our fears and worries they become manageable. A useful practice is to sit down in a meditative state (or at least with as much calm and presence as you can muster) and make a list of your top five fears and worries. Write them out in as much detail as possible. Then beginning with your top fear or worry allow yourself to imagine the worst case scenario coming to pass. Imagine it in graphic detail. Allow the emotions to arise within you that might come if this thing came to pass. Feel the fear, anger, and grief that may arise and let them pass through you. Let it play out to resolution in your mind's eye. Then notice that the witness of the thoughts is still there. Notice that the witness of your thoughts, which is your simple presence, is the stage upon which the drama unfolded and that it is unmodified by the experience. Your witnessing awareness confronted the worst thing you could possibly imagine happening to you, and it survived. Now imagine your top fear or worry playing out in the best case scenario. Imagine it in graphic detail. Allow the emotions to arise within you once more. Feel joy, love, and excitement and let them pass through you. Let it play out to resolution in your mind's eye. Recognize that the witness of the thoughts still remains as the drama unfolded, unmodified by it. Your witnessing awareness remains the same in pleasure or pain. It remains unmodified by the best and worst thing you can imagine happening to you. It is the infinite presence that endures lifetime after lifetime. Go through your fears and worries one by one. Imagine the best and worst case scenarios. Let yourself experience all the emotions associated with each. Continue doing so until they no longer hold an emotional charge and you can identify more with the witness than the drama of your mind. This may take time. Maybe you will need to make several top five fear and worry lists before you feel at ease. Nevertheless confront them and name them one by one. Give your fears and worries no place to hide. Dissolve them one by one in the light of your awareness. #transformation #personaldevelopment #mindfulness  

The audio for our Patreon community's August New Moon Lion's Gate Guided Meditation 2021. In this guided meditation we deconstruct our old reality and conditioning, and bring in the new energy of our next highest self. Our Patreon community does two guided meditations each month for the new moon and full moon. #lionsgate #guidedmeditation #limitless

In this August New Moon Energy Update 2021 we discuss the August 8th new moon and Lion's Gate portal as we ascend to the next highest version of ourselves. Many will have noticed the Schumann resonance has been spiking in recent days, which is often associated with new light codes hitting the Earth and integrating into our energy field. This often leaves us feeling physically tired, as our body integrates the new “software.” Give yourself the space to receive these upgrades as they come in and you integrate them.  As the new energy comes in you may notice the old energy from the last year or decade is starting to feel very uncomfortable. The contrast between the old and new energy entering into the subtle body creates sharp contrast, and you may feel like a snake needing to shed its skin.  The energy of this new moon and Lion's gate portal represents limitless possibilities. Life can truly be more beautiful, free, and full of joy than you can imagine. In fact your imagination and limiting belief are your biggest limitation.  As we often discuss the truth of who and what you are is the infinite presence of god experiencing being finite. It is only our limited perspective and conditioned thinking that constricts our reality and cuts us off from our infinite nature. The spiritual path is one of freedom and liberation from limitations, as we journey through limitation back to our infinite god presence.  During this new moon and Lion's Gate portal each of us is being given an opportunity to expand as much as we are willing and able to. The great liberator from limitation is as ever our alignment with the truth of who and what we are. As we align inwardly with our god presence, and allow that light to ignite within us and shine forth into our physical reality, all that we witness becomes transformed.  The path of obedience to truth can be lonely. We often have to be willing to go it alone. The small self and its personality is a byproduct of our social conditioning and other people's stories about who we are. All these things create an invisible web that binds us to the past.  In order to walk a path of authenticity we have to be willing to live our truth, especially when it is uncomfortable. We have to be willing to dissolve delusions about who we are, what we want, and where we are going.  If you are feeling stuck right now, examine the bars of the cage. They consist of the stories of what you have told yourself is possible. What are the limiting beliefs you are no longer in agreement with? You have a right to reject all agreements made in fear and separation that are no longer in alignment with your awakened sense of truth. As we move through this Lion's Gate portal, we are being given an opportunity to move to the timeline of the next highest version of ourselves. As we align ever more powerfully with our god presence, our baseline vibration increases and our physical reality shifts to align with it.  Some will seek to hold you in the vibration of who you were or who they perceived you to be. If that happens simply continue holding the space of the new highest version of yourself with strength and love. As you expand those around you will expand at their own pace. Give them time, but remain true to who you are. 

In this August Ascension Energy 2021 video we discuss “The Great Sorting,” COVID, and Vaccination. As we discussed in our previous Lion's Gate videos we are experiencing “The Great Sorting” by vibration of people to places and communities that are in alignment with their state of consciousness, and the two great sorters are COVID and vaccination. I haven't said much about COVID and vaccination because it is such a highly polarized issue. However, this month it is impossible to talk about ascension without discussing the role COVID and the vaccine are playing. An important thing to remember about COVID and the vaccine is that there is no one right answer that is applicable to everyone. Each person encounters catalyst and makes decisions from whatever state of consciousness they have attained and life circumstances. As we discussed previously the collective consciousness on the planet currently has three distinct subcategories. There is the old third dimensional collective where consciousness is based in the solar plexus, then there is the fourth dimension where consciousness is based at the diaphragm between the heart and solar plexus, and lastly there is the fifth dimension where consciousness is based in the heart chakra or higher. At the third dimensional level of consciousness the catalyst of COVID and vaccination are viewed from the level of social agreement around sense making and decision making that defers to conventional allopathic medicine and third density social institutions. From this level of consciousness the “right thing to do” is what those in power tell us to do. Positively polarizing behavior from this seat of consciousness means obeying the old sources of third dimensional mainstream authority. Those at the fourth dimensional level of consciousness are experiencing the discomfort of straddling the proverbial fence. Stuck between the heart and solar plexus, they are no longer in agreement with the third dimension sources of authority that are based on reductionist materialism and a lack of understanding of spirit and consciousness. Many perceive the failings of the third dimensional models and the negative agendas of 3D actors, and it puts them in a place of fear, judgment, and anger. This often manifests as the “spiritual activists” who see how screwed up the world is and feel compelled to act. However, they are usually acting from their ego, and from the level of engagement of force and bellicosity. From this level of consciousness there is a lot of fear and anger, and things are often depicted in terms of the “good guys” versus the “bad guys.” This state of consciousness is inherently uncomfortable, and it is uncomfortable in order to force us to choose to retract to 3D or expand upward into the heart. The fifth dimensional level of consciousness is firmly seated in the heart chakra, and tends to have a more integral perspective. This is the place of nuance that has compassion for all perspectives. From this level of consciousness the old sources of authority are typically seen as being deeply flawed and not automatically obeyed. However, the systems and people involved are viewed with compassion rather than anger and judgment. I had the virus in March 2020 and was asymptomatic. As far as I'm concerned I have acquired immunity and it doesn't make sense to risk the potential adverse effects of the vaccine. That is from the allopathic perspective. From the more holistic fourth and fifth dimensional perspective I don't necessarily agree with the allopathic view of viruses and vaccines. I tend to view any disease in the body as an invitation to move towards greater balance and deeper healing, and view viruses as a necessary part of a healthy microbiome. This is a different level of sense making based on a different premise about reality. A healthy body is the best protection against either COVID or the vaccine side-effects. If I were older or had comorbidities my decision making might look differently. We should strive to have tolerance for other people's perspectives and decisions, even though they don't necessarily have tolerance for ours. From the 3D level of consciousness our decisions may seem irresponsible because social authorities have essentially said the vaccine is the only safe and responsible option. From the 4D level of consciousness we may seem overly sanguine, and not sufficiently outraged by 3D efforts to control and manipulate everyone to comply with the official narrative. This is the great sorting. Those resonating at the level of fear and judgment in both 3D and 4D and spinning off into their own tribes. The 3D folks fear the virus and don't trust those they view as being irresponsible. The 4D folks don't trust anyone who doesn't share their outrage. Meanwhile those who are able to hold compassion for both camps from the 5D perspective may find neither the 3D nor 4D folks want anything to do with them.

In this Lion's Gate 2021 Ascension Energy video we discuss what it means to be an ascending master and our increasingly crystalline bodies. In recent days I have felt called to remember that we are ascending masters remembering our mastery. This is the journey each of us is on, and though we may be at different stages we share this  common destination.  Ascension is an inside out process that begins with the internal purification and crystallization of our subtle bodies. From there the purification and transformation process radiates outward making our gross bodies ever more subtle and crystalline.  Many may be experiencing significant purging of the subtle body of mental, emotional, and karmic impressions. This can be a difficult and painful process. But the discomfort serves a purpose and has an end.  As we often discuss, at the core of every being is the perfection of God consciousness. Each of us is an aspect of God clothed in sheathes of gross and subtle bodies that limit our perspective. Sometimes those sheaths become so dense that we forget our divine nature and think we are only our limited perspective.  The ascension journey is one of purifying the various sheaths that limit our perspective so that they become so transparent that our God nature shines forth in undistorted brilliance. This path of awakening is nothing less than a journey from being a finite limited self to being an infinite unlimited self. As prior limitations fall away, more and more of the infinite power of God may be exercised through us.  The ascended masters are those perfected beings who have made the inner and outer ascension and have become transparent conduits for God's power and grace. Bound neither by time, space, nor gross matter, these mighty beings manifest and command the elements by mere thought.  When we reach a certain level of attainment the appropriate ascended master will come into our lives to assist us with learning the lessons of whatever stage we are at. The first master I worked with was Jesus Christ, who has assisted me with the lessons of unconditional love. The second was Mahavatar Babaji, founder of Kriya Yoga in the modern age, who initiated me into his lineage soon after I began my practice. In recent years Babaji and the gurus of that lineage have been my principal guides. It has been through their grace and guidance that I have been able to achieve the internal ascension, which culminated in absorption in atman at the crown chakra in deep samadhi.  While this is a notable development, I am reminded it is really just the beginning. At every stage of the ascension journey inner purification and disciplining of the outward activity of the small self remain key to progress.  I achieved the inner ascension when the chakras became sufficiently clear and balanced to take on a crystalline quality. Since then I have been able to enter into deep samadhi at will. The outer ascension requires a similar process to occur in the physical body. In my own Lion's Gate uplevel experience that is the journey I am being called to, and new masters are stepping forward to assist me on my path.  Wherever you are on this wondrous journey, remember that you are an ascending master remembering your mastery and benevolent assistance abounds. This is truly a path back to the highest version of ourselves. Nothing will be lost save our limitations. Each of us is simply moving at our own pace towards being a fuller expression of the God consciousness within us. 

This Lion's Gate Guided Meditation 2021 will assist you with Transformation and Ascension. This guided meditation came through during our Patreon community's July full moon transmission. I felt called to share it so that all who may resonate with it may benefit from the transmission. This guided meditation is long so get comfortable and try and receive it with an open heart and open mind. We begin the meditation with a grounding practice, then proceed through the energy body from the Earthstar chakra all the way up to Star Consciousness. The invocations, attunements, and guidance contained in this meditation will assist you with birthing the new version of yourself yearning to be born. #lionsgate #guidedmeditation #lionsgatetransmission

In this July Full Moon Energy Update 2021 we discuss the energetic themes of the July 23rd full moon. The major themes of the July Full Moon are (i) becoming the person of your dreams today, (ii) getting clear on what you want, (iii) contractions before the rebirth, and (iv) patience while waiting for the right moment to act. Becoming the Person of Your Dreams Today Become the person of your dreams today. Many of us find excuses for not going to the next level in consciousness and personal development. We often hold imaginary milestone for when we will really get down to the business of healing, evolution, and service. Maybe you are waiting to get a certain number of followers on social media. Maybe you are waiting until you get that certification or degree. Maybe you are waiting until you move to someplace more in alignment. Stop putting off being the best version of yourself. Be the person of your dreams today. Be the best version of yourself today. The internal transformation comes before the change in life circumstances. You won't change when life circumstances improve, life circumstances will improve when you change your state of being. It is only through becoming the person of our dreams today that we are able to realize our dream in physical reality tomorrow. When we put off becoming the best version of ourselves, we put off experiencing our ideal life circumstances. Getting Clear on What You Want Get clear on what you want your life to be. Get clear on who you want to be in the world. Having a clear vision for your life and self is key to manifesting the reality you prefer. Don't be afraid to dream the most beautiful dream you can imagine for your life. Dream it in technicolor detail. Don't get attached to the details but get excited about the quality of consciousness they represent. Don't worry about logistics at this point. We often can't see how to get to where we want to go from where we are. But step by step as we move towards that more beautiful vision for our lives, things become clearer. Make sure your ambitions and dreams for your life are still in alignment with who you are. Our dreams need to be undated frequently to reflect our current state of consciousness. When you aren't clear on what you want, or if there is internal conflict, the universe will force you to choose. For a long time this looked like calendar conflicts for me. There would be a spiritual event that was really exciting on the same date as a political or business obligation. For a long time I chose the latter and abandoned my excitement because my main ambition was business and politics. Then a time came when I realized my ambitions had changed. I was doing stuff I didn't want to do for a life I didn't want. I realized what I really wanted to do was be of spiritual service, but I had filled my life with other things and didn't have room for what I actually wanted. Once I got clear on who I was and what I wanted it became easy to say no to what wasn't in alignment, and to say yes to what was. Contractions Before Rebirth Many of us have been experiencing the contractions before rebirth. Old versions of us have been floating up to the surface to be expressed to see if there is anything left for them to teach us. Sometimes that has meant falling into old patterns for a while, until we wake up and remember that isn't really who we are any longer. This is part of the rebirthing process. We are harvesting all the good about who we were and letting go of what no longer serves us. We are preparing for the rebirth and uplevel of the Lion's gate. Patience While Waiting for the Right Moment to Act Being patient while waiting for the right moment to act is hard. Many of us have been on this evolutionary journey for a long time, and it feels like we are getting incredibly close to some sort of major breakthrough. We can almost touch the most beautiful vision for our lives manifesting… But it hasn't manifested yet. It definitely seems to be on its way and things are moving and the pieces are coming together. But it can be difficult to know what we can do to help it along. Remain alert, be patient, and listen for the right time to act. When the door opens and the decision point arises you will know. It will require your hell yes or hell no, and your complete commitment will be required. But until that time arrives be patient and continue to do the little things each day you can do to be the person of your most beautiful dreams. When the time is right you and your dreams will join hands and become a reality.
