Channeling is one way that we can connect to higher dimensional wisdom for our life's journey. This may be through connection to your soul or to a guide or helper. If you've been feeling nudges, soul whispers, or messages consider diving deeper through Channeling 1 (June 28th). To learn more, check out the short video called 'Curious About Channeling?'
Energy Update
The energy is inviting us to live into our heart and emotions. All the feelings.
The energy also asks us to not stuff those feelings and emotions into the closet. Instead, to really feel them. To embrace them. To dance with them. To celebrate them.
I know. Yikes.
It is a season of emotions, of feelings and not just for empaths. For everyone.
For some, those emotions are gonna run really hot. If this is you, you might find the invitation is to allow yourself to see your emotional self, and the way it ripples from you into the world.
For others, those emotions are gonna be really shy because, somehow, we’ve been told, or let ourselves believe, that our feelings don’t matter. If this is you, you might find the invitation is to allow your emotional self to be seen and to take up space.
No matter how it shows up for you, this season will ask us all to get out of our emotional comfort zones.
To recognize that we are worthy of living whole-heartedly and following the messages of our heart.
As does the next person.
Micropoetry
Message from Chardon
Many of you have a way of evaluating yourself and labeling your life and your actions as good, bad, right, wrong. Where did you learn that your life should look or feel a certain way? Who taught you to compare yourself to others, judge your actions, and then place a value on your life based on these comparisons and judgments?
Regardless of where you learned these beliefs, may we invite you to pause? Because it doesn’t need to be this way.
This human life that you live is meant to be a vehicle for your soul to grow. The experiences you have here will shape and change the very essence of your soul.
If you do not like yourself or how you are showing up, begin to change that.
But please, stop berating yourself.
Observe your language and notice how recriminations often appear in your mind or words, or in what you hear around you.
How 20 lashes with a wet noodle is a joke without recognizing the weight of that noodle across your heart.
How comparing levels of ‘screw-up’ can lead to assuming the worth of a person. And yet, the action of one person, no matter how out of balance it can seem, may be a significant shift towards interconnection while the action of another may be a small but distinct step towards fear.
How shame is commonly used to motivate or change another. And while it may appear effective in the short run, it is often quite damaging in the long run.
Judgment of yourself or others is a dense vibrational matrix to flow your life through. It restricts creativity and does not serve you well on your journey.
Allow yourself to notice where these show up in your life. Not to kick yourself with them, but to celebrate the noticing.
Noticing will allow you to release the thoughts, words, and actions of judgment.
Noticing will allow you to release the layers of shame that have been heaped upon you and that you have heaped upon yourself.
Noticing will allow you to let love in.
Noticing will allow you to let yourself love yourself.
And you are worthy of that love.
