Hello love,
We’ve just moved through the Summer Solstice and a Cancer New Moon, welcoming in the summer months with a hefty dose of change and new beginnings.
What’s moving and shifting for you? What’s burning away? What’s something you’re ready to transform in your life with the pure solar power of these next few months?
We have been in a process of clearing the space for new things that are more aligned with our hearts’ longings now. Perhaps you’re still in that process.
But the coming weeks and months are an incredibly fertile time to plant the seeds of what you’re wanting to experience in your life from this moment forward.
You are not who you were 10 years ago. 5 years ago. 2 years ago. Even 3 months ago. Things are completely new & full of possibilities you couldn’t have imagined from within your life 5 years ago.
What is your heart’s truest call now? Are you listening?
the daisies always saying to us “I want you to be happy”
The Dreams of Our Ancestors
I’ve been reflecting a lot in recent months about how our lineages evolve. In these reflections, it’s become very clear to me that we are living out the dreams of our ancestors.
So, if you knew this, if you were living out the wildest dreams of your ancestors (you are ;)…how would you live? What would you do with your precious life? What would you change?
Imagine them cheering you on, being so proud of you and the life you’re living, the person you are. The things you’re experiencing that they couldn’t or didn’t. All that you’re becoming.
They don’t want you to live a life like theirs. They want you to live YOUR life, one that is true to you.
So, what would it look like if you chose yourself this time? What would that mean? What would that look like? How can you be a good ancestor?
And just in case you need a reminder ~ you've done enough.
You've achieved, produced, and pushed enough. You've chased goals, met expectations, and poured yourself into everyone and everything else.
In a culture that celebrates constant productivity, many of us feel burned out, disconnected, and out of alignment with who we truly are.
Choosing yourself isn't about self-improvement or selfishness. It's about self-remembrance. This isn't about doing more. It's about BEing who you are more deeply.
We live and we learn — what feels good, what feels right, true — and what doesn’t. We don’t always do it perfectly. We make mistakes. This is how we learn. Like a baby taking steps….Sometimes we do it “wrong” because we needed to learn how to do it another way that feels better and works better.
Remember — what would your ancestors want for you? My guess is they would want you to finally be able to rest and enjoy a life fully lived, that makes you feel truly joyful, fulfilled, and unconditionally loved.
The Energy of July
The message coming through for July is quite straight-forward and clear. Remembering the power of our thoughts, feelings, perspective & nervous systems to create our reality. The importance of meditation, emptying our mind, and receiving with gratitude what is meant for us.
When we desire something and are attached to it, our joy depends on that thing. If it is taken away, we are miserable; if it is given to us, we are happy. Whenever our desire is fulfilled, it is only for a fleeting moment, and then we begin to desire something else, something more. We must learn to base our joy on something deeper, something lasting. Meditate on this…
If you watch closely, you will find that all your thoughts are creating you and your life. They create your hell, or they create your heaven. They create your misery, or they create your joy. They create the negative, they create the positive. Everybody is a magician, spinning and weaving a world around themselves. Once you understand this, you can start playing with it and creating what you want.
There is also a way to transcend these polarities of “good” and “bad” altogether. This is the path of true freedom. When we are capable of feeling grateful for both pain and pleasure, without any choice, simply feeling grateful for whatever is given — because it must have a reason. We may like it, we may not, but it must be needed for our growth. Once this truly settles into our heart, then each moment of our life is full of gratitude.
Let this become your meditation over the coming month(s): thank Goddess for every moment — for laughter, for tears, for everything. Then you will feel a silence arising in your heart that you may not have known before. This is bliss.
Here is a song for you to sink into 💗
A very small minority stops running, asks for nothing — and suddenly he finds everything within himself.
This bliss we can experience in our hearts through genuine gratitude for life is the source of true abundance.
Over the summer months, I invite you to set yourself free with a simple prosperity meditation that will activate the creative power of Shakti energy in your life. By relaxing your heart in gratitude with this mantra, you welcome the frequency of true abundance into your life.
