Taking risks always comes with growing pains. New tests, barriers, delays, frustrations, impatience...
When the universe whispers in my ear to leave something, create something, to stand out in some way, to innovate, to push — I know that staying in my comfort zone is no longer an option. My comfort zones never last very long anyways. Those of us who understand the power of dharma realized long ago that running, avoiding, or settling simply aren’t viable options. The great work doesn’t come easily. It isn’t handed to us by someone or something else. Because we were built to be different. We were built to be strong.
So I leap. I accept. I sit in the discomfort zone with a half-smile on my face and a knowing in my heart that big things are coming.
And sometimes I take the opportunity with tears in my eyes, because I know my heart will need to break in order to heal and fortify itself to withstand the next level.
I can’t count the many times I’ve had to look fear in the eyes and reject his seductive dance. Or the times I’ve allowed resistance to test me until I waved it away with a shaky and uncertain hand.
This isn’t about walking away from your commitments. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Often it means standing strong in your commitments and gifts even when things seem uncertain or aren’t immediately rewarding. It means trusting the inner voice that guided you to that endeavor in the first place. When you trust yourself and you trust the process, you receive it back with abundance.
Yes, walk away from things that are unaligned, constricting, and cause suffering. But don’t simply abandon the growth process because the ego can’t stand uncertainty.
DIVE into the uncertainty and embrace it with open arms, because you believe in yourself. And then others can believe in you *because you won’t abandon them.* We are all here to serve in some way. We all chose this timeline.
I love you. I believe in you. I am waiting for you.
Your body is a perfectly designed, highly adaptable organism. It is capable of quick evolution to changing circumstances and frequencies. It heals itself with regular ease and can build strength and endurance to support your activity and lifestyle. The interconnected web of subtle energy and mind/heart consciousness has proven to be capable of miracles — many beyond science’s capacity to measure — and can achieve such feats without external influences. Human beings may be within this realm of time and degeneration, but we also have the power to transcend all of it and understand Source-consciousness. We can feel, we can love, we can experience all of the earthly sensations, pleasures, and pain — and we can also be like gods and angels.
Your body is your most valuable possession. With proper care and energy, it can achieve ecstatic states and monumental feats, solely with the purity of capabilities that were bestowed by creation. It deserves the very best you can offer. 💜
After every expansion, there is a contraction. There is an opportunity to pull back and integrate, to go within, to regulate and discipline your perceptions. After every contraction, there is an expansion. Expansion brings insight and change, new opportunities for growth, experiences that transform your perception of reality.
Fear may cause some of us to stay in the expansion and float above the responsibilities and disciplines that create the conditions for growth. Fear can also cause some of us to stay in the contraction and live within a defined framework, rather than face the unknown possibilities of existence.
The experience of life and LIVING is a surrender to the sacred tremor, the expansion AND the contraction, the heartbeat of creation. Everything begins and everything ends. It all follows the pulse that regulates everything from the perceived subtle to the great unknown — and the divine spark that fuels it all.
My greatest wish is to experience all of it, without fear or limitations, in the full experience of being a free and sovereign being. Existence is a reflection of the life force that is ours by divine right. Living freely is a reclamation of your divinity.
And may it be so.
Gemini. Mutable air.
The wind goes where spirit leads — across meadows, over mountains, through the trees, surrounding the ocean, shaping clouds.
It creates ripples in the water, shifting sands, and blazing fires. Agitating, questioning, seeking, learning, sharing, inspiring, exploring. Its form appears as if in a dream, casting a spell, until your rote ways become restless wanderings.
You can try to contain the air, capture the magic, but it will always escape your grasp. The wind leads and you follow, arriving to destinations only imagined in the realm of faeries and song. Those brief moments of cool breezes, sly smiles, and butterfly wings burn into your memory like ancient whispers of lifetimes past — never to return.
Yet in the meantime, something awakened and stirred within you. Perhaps of glimpse of possibility, another dimension, an alternative journey, the spark of your soul. You will wait forever if you sit still, because this shapeshifting force doesn’t look back. Or you can follow the faint hymn to the ethereal doors that once awakened the flame... leaving everything behind for the mysterious magic of truth.
Life becomes uneasy.
The ground, once so steady,
Now shakes with every step.
So you reach
For the quick fix.
The possibility of recreating
What was
Instead of what could have been.
Every choice is a door.
Every door leads down a path.
Every path is your design.
So choose bravely. Choose beauty.
Pursue the dream.
Take risks for
The great love.
Give from your heart
Your many gifts.
Discover heaven, here,
On this orbiting rock.
Don’t wait for the what ifs to
Consume your every thought.
The unfamiliar is scary.
The uncertain outcome seems an
Impossible feat
For the contracted heart.
But the reward of a new way, a crack
In the chiseled armor,
Clearing away clouds of separation
And old stories
Is why you are here.
It’s the story of your awakening.
There are many circumstances, distractions, tests, and excuses that can convince you to abandon your gifts. Walking away seems easier than facing your potential. Better to give up than to face the fears around success or rejection.
Sure, it’s possible to escape and float along in a pool of unrealized potential for a while and survive. OR you can double down, own your truth, embody your power, and THRIVE.
The path of YOU is the one worth traveling... if you’re ready to own it.
Five keys to awakening, two possible paths. The mapping of these keys provides a different way of viewing two paths of yoga.
The path of wisdom (self-realization): Wisdom > Discipline > Sovereignty > Surrender > Trust
Through attaining many layers of wisdom, we begin to see the value in cultivating discipline through self-honoring and dedicated practice. Clarity of mind and body creates the conditions for wisdom to flourish into deep understanding of the cosmos and access into the many multidimensional layers of self. Self-sovereignty values and honors the self as a source of wisdom and knowing — not willing to give up or sacrifice personal power and truth. It is with this powerful sense of self and self-love that we can truly surrender, with full awareness, and through surrender comes trust. Trust in the self, trust in the process. Self and universe are seen as one. The wisdom path acknowledges the Divine within as a source of awakening, not as an external entity separate from Self.
The path of trust (devotion): Trust > Surrender > Sovereignty > Discipline > Wisdom
As human beings, we exist in a complex and layered realm full of external wisdom and experiences across dimensions of time. Through an act of trust, we acknowledge these external lessons as a source of guidance and a key to purpose, thereby surrendering to external wisdom and walking the path of the devotee. Absorbing the wisdom of the ages provides strength and sovereignty to the great teachings and teachers of our time. Solidifying and validating their experiences strengthens the experience of self. The path of devotion requires great discipline in the willingness to follow in the footsteps of the masters. They become a source of light and wisdom. Through our devotion, wisdom is gifted, and knowledge of universal laws attained. The path of trust is the path of the devotee, in which the seeker attains external knowledge and truth as a source of awakening.
Taurus. Fixed earth.
Steady drumbeats, getting louder.
Earth awakening, blooming, cascades of green, brightening skies. Life emerges and births into form.
The sun, the light, the fire, the passion. This is the season of Beltane, of divine union.
Steady drumbeats, getting louder.
The thinning veil, the fae folk gathering, earth spirits whispering in your ear. Open your eyes.
There’s magic is the steadiness, in the stability, in the cycles. Everything moves in a circle of life, death, rebirth, life.
Steady drumbeats, getting louder.
The Torus is continually cycling in a consistent flow of change. A deep knowing that what is real is also an illusion. And what is illusion is real.
Feel the earth underneath your feet.
Steady drumbeats, getting louder.
Sun and earth unite. Fall into the arms of divine love and complete trust. Fall into the knowing of where you are and why you’re here. Fall into the wisdom of Gaia.
Breathe into the gift of life. It’s yours.
I am you, and you are me.
Floating in this ocean of life and thinking we have any control.
A human suit with memories, conditioning, emotions — guided by experiences that fit precariously like puzzle pieces into the now.
Past, future, present circumstances sometimes all blend together. Shifting timelines, enlightening perspectives, responsibilities, awakening... it is our (my) perception of reality. I can write the next chapter but the characters and conditions always take on a life of their own.
There were times when I held on to the small things I could manage, because it gave me a sense of power. But in the end it only brought suffering. It was like constantly trying to build a small tide pool to swim in, when I knew the ocean could effortlessly sweep it away in any moment. So I chose to surrender to the blissful current and be free. Whatever flows in is meant to be.
I’ve been in a strange place of uncertainty lately — unsure if I’m doing the right thing, filling up my calendar, and questioning every decision I’ve ever made until it feels like I’m floating in an ocean of cosmic doubt. And that’s really the arc of the transformational process. I’ve witnessed and guided many people going through deep transformation, and it’s never a glamorous spiritual awakening. It’s often very sad, very uncertain, very confusing. I’ve been through many myself.
We often think that transformation means we have to become a different person, but it’s actually a process of rediscovering who you always were, your authentic self. Transformation is a process of coming home to yourself.
The more we hang onto what we think we need in order to feel safe or validated, the more difficult the process becomes. When I opened the Akashic records this morning, I was reminded that we (me included) are so attached to the goal-setting, planning, achievement side of everything, that we don’t allow the time or space to be in the moment and allow ourselves to be guided.
We have all of the inner wisdom and trust within to guide us. It’s just a matter of listening. What is my heart asking me to do right now? Do I actually want to accomplish these ten tasks today or am I avoiding the stillness and rest? Am I listening to my inner guidance and desires or am I trying to keep myself safe? Am I witnessing or am I escaping?
There’s nothing you have to do to facilitate transformation except listen and BE. It’s your divine right. And in this space, as they guided in the records, we have the ability to just be in the moment. Let things unfold. It’s all happening now if we allow it. There’s no need to force.

The time is now to rewrite your story. To let the old beliefs, habits, and obligations dissolve.
We are being pushed to find a new way — tested and triggered to release our grasp on the way things were. The old ways no longer exist.
Your growth is your obligation now — separated in solitude to grow from the flame and spark within. Listen to your divine plan and release your grasp on the attachments that don’t belong to you.
What would you do if everything changed? What did you do when everything changed? Rise now, don’t hold yourself back. Release the guilt and programming that keeps you small and in the shadows.
When all of the masks come off, how will you be seen? How do you want to be seen? Walk through the portal and allow yourself to shine in all of your sovereign glory.
