Energy Update
The energy is choppy. I feel like we’ll probably be able to say this every week through the end of the year, so we need to understand that choppy is simply the energy soup that we’re swimming in. The choppy is even likely to get worse.
Because … change is happening. Change and transformation always have choppy aspects to them - there are highs and lows, openings and constrictions, growth and releases.
So, what is this week’s choppy energy bringing to the table?
New beginnings. But not just any old new beginnings. These are new beginnings that align with who you want to be.
Who you want to be is not the same as what you want to do. Who you want to be is about how you want to show up, the energy you want to bring to a space, and what aligns with what you value. Who is your authentic self?
One of the key questions arising now around who we want to be is whether we want to be someone who values relationships or rules. They both may have their place in our world, but which is the leading first step for you?
Do you prefer to start with connection and relationships first, understanding they may be a bit chaotic and unpredictable at times, and pull in structures, rules, and boundaries as needed? Or do you prefer to start with the structures of rules and boundaries, and use those as the guides for inviting others into your life?
Micropoetry
Message from Chardon
Who are you in your heart?
What is the song that beats in your heart?
Some of you are finding a stark contrast between the journey of your human and the song you hear within. Rather than allowing that to cause you anxiety, sadness, or regrets, can you instead allow that to bring you gratitude, and even joy? For the recognition of the contrast is key to giving yourself permission to change.
Some of you find that your song is hard to hear. The parts that you do hear seem to harmonize with your journey, but you feel that you are missing parts of the song. For you, the questions will be, can you allow yourself more time to be with yourself and can you allow yourself more willingness to get to know yourself? The song will deepen as you deepen.
Some of you find that you are currently in the flow with your song. Allow yourself to ride this wave while also finding ways to center yourself while the world shifts and moves. And also acknowledge, and remind yourself, that all waves must come to shore and then cycle out again in a new spiral. This change is not a failure but rather an opportunity to ‘level up’.
