the Libra - Yin & Yang New Moon.

𝓑𝓮𝓪𝓾𝓽𝓲𝓯𝓾𝓵 𝓗𝓾𝓶𝓪𝓷𝓼,

As we enter the beautiful 𝓛𝓲𝓫𝓻𝓪 𝓝𝓮𝔀 𝓜𝓸𝓸𝓷 🌑⚖️ and continue along an energetic wave 🌊 over the past weeks, we remain centred quite unmistakably around that of 𝓑𝓪𝓵𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓮.

It feels timely to highlight that solar activity remains active despite making its slow exit out of solar maximum towards 2030, which speaks to the Earth changes and our collective consciousness in these moments.

Increased solar activity naturally charges up the ionosphere, making Earth’s atmospheric field not only more conductive but reactive, increasing activity and conditions where more subtle energies, including plasma and other charged particles, interact more easily with us and our planetary environment.

In this way, we are seeing increased seismic activity on the planet, which, through a wider energetic lens, can be viewed as energy discharges and awakening on the planet.

Over the past day an influx of plasma following an Earth-facing coronal mass ejection from the Sun, arrived as a G3 geomagnetic storm on the 9th, a day prior to the New Moon.

It can be helpful to consider some of this “material”, namely plasma, as a carrier of potential, a medium through which possibilities move into form.

And although co-creating is something we are always doing, during heightened solar activity we get a unique opportunity to co-create in an accelerated way. Which works in cohesion with a New Moon, being a conception point.

Be reminded, too, that as increased energy moves through the planet, it interacts with water, one of the most responsive and naturally conductive mediums on the planet. One of the ways energetic information is received, recorded and circulated here…

This lunation draws our focus to the relevance of water, highlighted in part by Sedna, the trans-Neptunian dwarf planet who finds herself in relationship to the New Moon this coming weekend.

Sedna’s myth, linked to the water goddess, brings a focus to the Yin principle, elemental intelligence, transformation and restoration of harmony between humanity and the natural world.

It also highlights how energy beneath our awareness forms part of the unseen currents shaping life, something reflected through the Venus (weaver of the magnetic love-infused realms) in Scorpio (the master of the deep underwater of the unconscious realms), shared prior to this note, coupled with Libra’s call to balance.

In this way, energy is never destroyed, only changed in form. Water reflects this fully.

And in order to shape the world we wish to see, our relationship to what we do with our energy and therefore our lives naturally must evolve and be transformed.

We see the ways water is a fundamental “Source” molecule. Acting as a thread connecting every living thing back to its origin. It holds the memory of all of time. A bit like a living Akashic record.

It listens and remembers, and it also responds.

As shared in prior notes, do feel into that and its potential and implications, particularly of the body. The heart’s torus field and larynx as we have been working with.

Because despite the sometimes present limitations of the “mind”, we are deeply interconnected to our sacred and Source origins. And that very essence exists within us and all of life.

In this way we are living nodes amplifying and reflecting energy on the planet.

And hence our ability to impact our sacred vessels and the greater whole through holding a steady, unwavering love-focused orientation.

Because when we align with love and truth, boundless potential is free to unfold.

So, despite the sometimes dire pictures or predictions “sold” to the collective, selling us a sense of powerlessness on mass, we are in fact Consciousness rising, and with that, the many are awakening. It can be felt in the air, the Earth and nature itself.

That said, actualising the world we wish to see both individually and collectively speaking doesn’t mean instant integration or enlightenment. It means we are in “collective process”.

Depending on our openness to change, these times will bring mixed reactions.

Moments of expanded awareness, where new worlds can be created far beyond the perceived glass ceilings we allow to govern our experience here.

And moments of contraction, clinging to the familiar even when we have outgrown it or it no longer serves us.

All of which is a dance really, and how we participate in that dance greatly matters. Especially when it gets noisy out there.

Even choosing expansion comes with its own challenges, because apparently, there are no free lunches here…

It’s sometimes tricky delineating between what is a helpful type of uncomfortable and an unhelpful kind.

A key distinction I would continue to reiterate here is to follow the 𝓮𝔁𝓹𝓪𝓷𝓼𝓲𝓸𝓷 energy.

Expansion often feels exposing and uncomfortable but allows you to open into the unknown and create new worlds. It is, too, nature’s most natural state. As we see through nature’s life cycles, moving through many stages of death and rebirth, life is always evolving and life-sustaining.

Conversely, contraction often looks like attempting to play small, stay safe and work with the familiar even when it no longer serves, including circling over the same loops that keep us locked into lower realities/timelines. Unreflective of life itself and therefore not life-sustaining.

In this way, it can be all too easy to forget Earth is a consciousness development school and become caught up in the stories on the ground, forgetting that restoring balance is less about pointing outward but instead a journey inward.

So allow this note to serve as a reminder of the bigger picture as we step into the theme of balance here.

We are after all practising becoming 𝓼𝓮𝓵𝓯 𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓼𝓮𝓭 𝓐𝓰𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓼 𝓯𝓸𝓻 𝓛𝓸𝓿𝓮.

Now it’s time to 𝓩𝓸𝓸𝓶 in… to the moment we are in within that journey.

Beginning at Equinox, we explored the natural meeting point between light and dark, movement and stillness, that which is emerging and falling away, reflecting the ways Earth itself is in a continual process of recalibration and reorientation.

These themes were brought much closer to home through Venus stationing retrograde in Scorpio alongside the recent T-square, illuminating where our own pendulums may have swung far from centre, particularly in the realms of love, values, relationship, power, truth, and the balance between our Yin and Yang energies.

So as we arrive within the New Moon in Libra, we are invited to take a deeper step into that journey, through the reflection of seeing where imbalance exists, and where we are naturally being invited to choose what to do with it post what has been revealed. And more importantly, what we are now recalibrating 𝓽𝓸?

Libra, represented by the scales ⚖️, is ruled by Venus, and Venus in all her magnetism naturally draws our attention towards balance, harmony, love, values and relationship. By relationship here we are not simply referring to our relationships with one another, we are in relationship with all of life. With ourselves, our physical bodies, our environments, our work, our resources, our communities, our beliefs, the Earth beneath our feet and the greater living field of the cosmos which we are a part.

Within all of these relationships then, is a continual energetic exchange taking place, which draws us into a deeper exploration of what balance actually means.

Because balance does not necessarily mean equal, nor does it mean everything remaining perfectly centred, still and unchanged. Nature quite clearly demonstrates otherwise.

The ocean moves between high and low tide, or it would fester and stagnate, the seasons between growth and dissolution, our bodies between activity and rest, waking and sleeping, inhalation and exhalation. Even the Earth itself does not stop moving in order to find equilibrium.

Balance is alive, responsive, relational and continually adjusting according to what is required in order for the greater system to remain coherent. Which means sometimes balance may mean more rest, while at another time movement, greater receptivity or clear directed action.

And so the scales are not so much asking us to make everything equal. They are instead asking us to move into 𝓻𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽 𝓻𝓮𝓵𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷𝓼𝓱𝓲𝓹.

This takes us beautifully into the ancient Egyptian principle of 𝓜𝓪’𝓪𝓽 🪶, which represented far more than balance alone. Woven through Ma’at are the principles of love, truth, harmony, justice, right relationship and fundamentally cosmic order.

This order was not something established once and then permanently held. It required continual participation, a continual restoring and reorienting towards that which sustained harmony and right balance, rather than that which fed disorder, distortion and imbalance.

And there is something exceptionally beautiful in that in relation to everything we have been exploring, because within Ma’at, love/truth and balance are not separate principles. To move away from truth is, in itself, to move away from right order.

It asks us to consider balance somewhat differently. Not simply where have my scales tipped too far, but where have I moved out of right relationship with love, truth and what I know at the deepest level, to be true?

This becomes even more potent through one of the most recognised images associated with Ma’at, the weighing of the heart. Within the ancient Egyptian tradition, the heart was weighed against the feather of Ma’at, bringing the heart, truth and right order to account.

And while we need not attempt to overlay our own understandings upon what the Egyptians themselves meant, the symbolism offers a beautiful mirror here.

Because that which is being weighed within our own metaphorical scales is not whether everything in our lives has become perfectly equal, but whether there is coherence between what we know and what we live. Whether our values are reflected through our choices, words, deeds and actions, and whether they carry the same truth we say we hold within our hearts at the deepest levels.

Far from condemnation lies a question mark, asking simply, what is being asked to be brought back into right relationship, reordered, rebalanced and reoriented to reflect that?

This feels particularly alive through the Aries/Libra axis in these moments. Aries being a representation of the individualised expression of 𝓘 𝓐𝓜, and Libra reflecting that of 𝓦𝓔 𝓐𝓡𝓔.

Two aspects that are not in opposition in the sense that one must win and the other lose, but instead reveal another polarity seeking conscious relationship.

Because unity does not require the erasure of individuality, and individuality does not require separation from the whole.

In this way we can remain rooted within ourselves while meeting another fully. We can love deeply without abandoning truth, and give without continually emptying ourselves or attempting to control the centre of somebody else.

And we do want this.

𝓢𝓸 𝔀𝓱𝓮𝓷 𝔀𝓮 𝔀𝓲𝓭𝓮𝓷 𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓵𝓮𝓷𝓼…  into the greater astrological picture surrounding this New Moon, the invitation into balance and right relationship becomes even more pronounced.

Sitting across from the Sun and Moon in Libra, we find a concentration of energy within Aries, bringing another layer into this conversation between 𝓘 𝓐𝓜 and 𝓦𝓔 𝓐𝓡𝓔, the individual and the whole. Saturn’s presence here, which is connected to the earth planes, asks that we bring what we know into form, so it may be lived and embodied within the physical reality of our lives.

Alongside this we have the asteroids and dwarf planets, Pallas Athena, Vesta and Eris, bringing the energies of sacred feminine wisdom into the conversation.

To be clear, when we speak here of feminine and masculine principles we are not speaking about women and men, but instead the Yin and Yang energies that exist within and move through all of us. Two aspects of the same creative whole, much like the inward and outward breath we have been exploring.

To really capture this in its totality imagine breathing inward without an outward breath or outward without an inward.

Pallas Athena brings a reconnection to our deeper point of knowing, the intelligence that can see and recognise patterns beyond the linear and analytical processes of the mind.

While Vesta draws us towards the sacred fire within, the inner flame that remains when the external noise falls away.

Together with Eris, another aspect is brought forward, asking how the unique expression that belongs within each of us wishes to be brought into the world.

Each of us a unique fractal expression of one living cosmic story, carrying something that only we can bring through in precisely the way we do.

Which feels part of the corrective movement occurring now. A movement out of the illusion of separation and back towards remembering ourselves as participants within an interconnected living cosmos.

This New Moon too forms a sextile with Jupiter (expansion) in Leo (heart), a naturally harmonious aspect expanding the themes alive in these moments, whilst drawing our attention once again towards the heart. And there is something particularly important here around restoring balance after such a profound collective swing into the realms of the mind.

That said, the mind in and of itself is not the enemy, it is an extraordinary instrument, yet when disconnected from the heart and deeper knowing within us, it can analyse life into increasingly smaller pieces until it loses sight of the greater picture.

And all of this is occurring against the greater evolutionary configuration we have been exploring, with Pluto, Neptune and Uranus continuing to hold the underlying framework of the evolutionary Basket.

And with Mars (power and will) too moving into Leo (heart), it enters this larger conversation around how our will, action and expressions are being directed in matters of the heart.

Mars therefore, not only reflects but asks what are we doing with what we now know? Where are our actions still plugged into old patterns of fear or control, and where are we ready to transform them into courage, truth and conscious Will?

And with Pluto, a transformative force, continuing its conversation with Venus, the deeper examination of love, values, power and relationship continues.

That conversation can energetically be felt beneath the surface, revealing where our expressions of love and value remain entangled with older patterns, and where transformation is needed.

𝓐𝓷𝓭 𝔀𝓱𝓮𝓷 𝔀𝓮 𝔃𝓸𝓸𝓶 𝓪𝓵𝓵 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝔀𝓪𝔂 𝓸𝓾𝓽…

This is where the larger cycle through the Yugas becomes particularly relevant. As we move beyond the density of Kali Yuga and into the ascending movement, we are also healing a much older imbalance within the Divine Feminine (Yin) and Masculine (Yang) principles themselves.

A long pendulum swing in which the Yang principle, which represents outer expression, increasingly moved into individualised expression, into the idealisation of the mind, self and therefore power over that which we can’t control, while the Yin, connected to the we, the flows of life and those cycles, became out of balance and increasingly disconnected from its rightful place within the whole.

The correction then is not the yin rising to overpower the yang, nor the yang being diminished so that the yin may return, because that would simply recreate the same cycle. Instead, what we are being invited into is restoration, where both principles return to right relationship with one another.

The Egyptian Eye of Horus comes to heart here. 👁️

The Wedjat Eye symbolises protection, healing, perception and restoration. Horus’s eye (represented as the Yang) was damaged and later restored, becoming a powerful symbol of returning from fragmentation into wholeness and restoring cosmic order.

Here we see the potential for the inward breath and the outward breath, receptivity and expression, inner knowing and outer manifestation working not as competing forces, but instead as complementary forces of the same creative process.

Which brings us back to Ma’at, because restoring cosmic order does not mean diminishing polarity. It means restoring right relationship 𝔀𝓲𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷 it.

So this New Moon then, simply carries something resembling a corrective force, offering another point within the greater cycle through which what has moved out of balance can begin moving back towards coherence.

This is where the New Moon itself adds another beautiful layer to the invitation. Unlike the Full Moon, there is very little external illumination. As shared in a prior note, at the New Moon, the illuminated side of the Moon faces away from Earth, and a new lunar cycle begins.

There is something not only beautiful but telling in this, because so much of what is birthed here begins long before there is any physical evidence of it.

Just as a seed begins its transformation beneath the soil.

In this way, we see that the darkness of this Moon is not about immediately knowing what comes next. Instead, it offers a space in which to feel what is already arising as a consequence of what has recently been revealed.

A place where we better notice what no longer feels coherent, what we can no longer comfortably participate in, where our values have evolved, and where the old ways of relating no longer reflect who we are now.

And that feels to be the invitation of this Libra New Moon, to consciously participate in restoring right relationship wherever we find ourselves out of alignment.

Because what restored balance yesterday may not be what restores balance today, and what restores balance within one part of our lives may look completely different within another.

Hence the invitation to come into 𝓑𝓪𝓵𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓮.

To recognise we are participating in a living conversation with life. Where there is a continual returning towards 𝓜𝓪’𝓪𝓽. 🪶

So as we move into this New Moon, be invited to sit with what the recent journey has already shown us.

And ponder 💭

☯️ Where can I identify pendulum swings in my life?

And, what might right balance look like here?

⚖️ What story can I now see that keeps me within that swing, that doesn’t support the new, and instead keeps me plugged into the old?

Am I willing now to take responsibility for that change?

Keeping to heart, this will indeed require work in order to move into recalibration.

Write them down ✍️💜

❤️‍🔥 What values have I previously held that are now ready to be realigned to the truth I now hold?

🌊 Where am I engaged mostly in the outward breath, the Yang principle, over the inward breath, Yin, and vice versa?

👁️ What do I now see clearly that I can no longer pretend not to know?

🌱 And out of that awareness, what do I commit to reflecting through my words, deeds and actions, going forward?

As always we may find clear answers, or we may connect with subtle feelings. All are welcome.

Simply work with what’s available to you in these moments.

As always, it remains a journey, lovers.

𝓗𝓪𝓻𝓶𝓸𝓷𝔂 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓑𝓪𝓵𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓮.

𝓛𝓸𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓱𝓮𝓪𝓻𝓽𝓼,

Today’s beautiful Libra 𝓔𝓺𝓾𝓲𝓷𝓸𝔁, arrived in its exactness 8:05am Perth time and Tuesday 22nd at 7:05pm Central USA. 

A time carrying invitational currents of recalibration and balance, which, if we are open, draws us deeper into relationship with life and the energetic flows here.

A moment to journey deeper into the feeling nature, the senses behind that of the mind, beyond that of needing to know and into a space where sensory perception is natural and knowing is instead felt.

Wherever you find yourself reading this, if space is available to you, simply tune in to your heart, allow yourself to breathe into your beautiful being-ness, much like that of tuning into a radio station where, when you find the channel, the static clears and the signal is coherent and harmonious.

From this place, be invited into the theme of 𝓗𝓪𝓻𝓶𝓸𝓷𝔂 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓑𝓪𝓵𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓮. 

For those unaware, and of course aware be reminded, equinox occurs twice a year during the seasons of Spring and Autumn. A time when the Sun crosses the celestial equator, bringing day and night into their closest dance. This dance of almost complete exactitude, between light and dark can be observed through the contrast of equal day to night. 🌓

A time where we not only see but feel the striking yet natural meeting point that exists through polarity. In the same way that we might experience that of breathing, through the simple inward and outward breath.

A perfect mirror into the observable and experiential physical existence we find ourselves in. Where we, as the beings that we are, experience our consciousness through physical reality as a beautiful and unique fractal of the whole, through the powerful instrument of the human body.

As we have been exploring, the heart, mind and energetic field are not separate, but interconnected aspects through which we orient, express and transmit. So, as the mind aligns more deeply with love, our words, deeds and actions begin to more naturally reflect that alignment.

In this way, we experience first hand the power of a steady, coherent heart and torus field, and the ways that coherence becomes central to our energetic protection and our ability to interact and co-create with subtler fields of energy.

As this coherence is carried directly into expression, it resonates through the larynx and out into our words, where truth can not only be heard but felt through vibration. All of which is deeply felt, reflected and reinforced through the waters of our being, cultivating an environment increasingly incompatible with fear that naturally limits its influence.

An important distinction here, being that latent capacities within the human instrument are not simply acquired, instead already present. Our ability to access and interact with them, however, reflects the clarity we hold, our existing beliefs and practices, and our willingness to continually re-orient.

Hence using moments such as these as invitations into greater attunement.

An added dimension too, depending on where we find ourselves on this spinning rock throughout equinox is that of feeling and experiencing the seasons, and witnessing the ways Gaia is always moving in flow within the cyclical nature here. We witness continuous transitions of stillness into movement, and movement into stillness and the same is true for each of us.

This particular Equinox however not only highlights that dance but mirrors quite potently the ways harmony and balance and ultimately unity may function in a physical existence.

We cannot perceive seasons, light or darkness or life and death without the contrast, there would simply be nothingness or sameness.

This quite spectacularly highlights that within an earth school experience there is a necessity for both contrast/polarity and continual recalibration and realignment as we journey along individually and collectively speaking.

In this way we are always naturally being invited to move into flow with those cycles, and partake in a conscious conversation within that greater journey.

Where we get a sense for where we are in relation to truth, harmony and balance, and where, of course, we have swung far off centre, inviting us then to reorient and recalibrate.

Astrologically speaking, this is magnified significantly with the Sun moving into Libra, a sign carrying the energetic imprint of the scales ⚖️ which greatly flavours the themes of balance, truth, and responsibility. In its call for balance, harmony and equilibrium can be heard. Something in the “work” we refer to as learning to “walk the laser edge line”.

Libra too, is ruled by the planet Venus, and Venus in her highest octave is associated with unrelenting Unconditional Love, magnetism, sacredness, receptivity, and compassion. A planet in a literal sense that is a living inferno ❤️‍🔥. In this way it brings a type of spiritual energetic fire which acts as a transformative force upon our currently held perceptions of love, asking us to transmute lesser expressions into those that magnetise our collective consciousness toward greater love and unity.

Paired with Libra’s call to balance, these qualities form a potent combination. And if you allow yourself this energy is indeed palpable.

In this way equinox is simply a point of reorientation. An invitation to realign our sails, to notice where we may have swung out of balance, in the context of the “work” we do in session where we might notice our pendulum swings.

Perhaps we overlooked a personal truth that is right in front of us, that we are trading for temporary comfort at the cost of the ultimate truth. Which inadvertently comes at a greater cost to us and all concerned. 

Examples on a collective scale may be environmental, political or economic decisions that deliver short-term gain but have devastating long-term impacts on the collective. And personally speaking, relational dynamics, and personal environmental choices that feel comfortable or familiar but are causing long-term harm are equally being highlighted. Because as trivial as our personal choices may seem in our everyday living, the choices we each make do  indeed have an impact.

In this way, sometimes what we might characterise as “love” may hold degrees of unclarity masquerading as love, that are not in service of truly  love based outcomes.

A truth one must be willing to look under the hood to uncover in order to move into harmony.

And so this time, as we have recently explored, is a time about radical honesty, and reviewing and reorienting these places to the ultimate truth and balance.

Not to be mistaken with judgment or condemnation, but a calling forward. Where we choose courage over comfort, and love above all things.

In the context of that balance and harmony, we are not simply choosing one side over another. We see what the polarity is revealing, an opportunity to clear out and unravel faulty motives, and to come into greater balance, whatever that may look like.

𝓩𝓸𝓸𝓶𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓸𝓾𝓽, 𝓲𝓷𝓽𝓸 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓰𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓽𝓮𝓻 𝓔𝓺𝓾𝓲𝓷𝓸𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓪𝓵 𝓒𝔂𝓬𝓵𝓮

And when we widen our gaze beyond our own experience or that of a single equinox moment, the reorientation becomes even more profound, because we see that equinox itself is a continuous movement.

Earth does not simply orbit the Sun while cycling through the seasons. Its axis is also engaged in an extraordinarily slow movement known as precession of the equinoxes.

A bit like a spinning top tracing a great circle through the heavens, where the orientation of Earth’s axis gradually changes and completes a cycle over approximately 26,000 years.

And with each equinox, while there are constant moments of rebalance and recalibration, we never return to precisely the same place within the greater celestial story.

A story equally as true on the macro as on the micro level. When we move in right relationship with life rather than doing battle with it, we see a gradual and constant movement towards evolution.

There will always be cycles within cycles, days do spiral into years, years into generations and all of these are held within planetary and celestial movements so vast that no individual lifetime can witness their completion. 

We simply understand we are part of a greater weaving story through which we do indeed have an impact.

There is something humbling in this, simply because what often appears meaningless or mundane from the perspective of “one human life”

is actually contributing to a greater movement when viewed through a greater measure of time just as the ancients did throughout time. 

Even our orientation towards the stars changes. The celestial pole shifts across millennia and the position of the equinox slowly moves against the background of the stars. The heavens often appear eternal from our physical perspective, yet we encounter them from an Earth that is continually and almost imperceptibly reorienting itself.

In astrological traditions, this vast precessional movement has also become associated with the great ages, immense chapters of time through which humanity moves. Whether we approach these ages literally, symbolically or mythically, they offer another lens through which to contemplate relationship and change.

And, as we have explored before through reflecting on the Yuga cycles, we are moving out of the denser point of a much greater cycle and into an ascending phase, where our awareness of the more subtle and energetic nature of existence gradually expands.

So, in no uncertain terms, we are a part of a greater unfolding story. One that asks… what story do we wish to tell? Because in this existence here, despite the happenings around us, we always have free will, and in this way we can always choose between that of love and fear.

And the equinox places great emphasis on where we are in that choosing.

𝓞𝓾𝓽𝓮𝓻 𝓐𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓵𝓸𝓰𝓲𝓬𝓪𝓵 𝓲𝓷𝓯𝓵𝓾𝓮𝓷𝓬𝓮𝓼

To add to the greater picture, during this equinox Sedna forms a trine with Pluto in Aquarius, and the influence of Salacia can also be felt.

Pluto, as we have explored, draws us beneath the surface, beyond appearances and towards what has been buried.

And being in Aquarius draws our attention to our networks, communities, technologies and systems, and towards the evolving relationship between individual freedom and our collective participation.

Sedna, forming a trine with Pluto, is long associated with death, rebirth, renewal and regeneration. Her immense orbit carries her into extraordinarily distant regions of our Solar System, with one journey around the Sun taking approximately 12,000 years. To contemplate Sedna is to encounter deep time, where a human lifetime becomes momentary against such an orbit. Entire civilizations can rise and disappear during a single passage around the Sun.

Through her mythology and later astrological symbolism, Sedna carries us into themes of transformation and alchemy, her story revealing that darkness is not simply the absence of light, but a necessary stage of gestation.

Salacia, the trans-Neptunian object, on the other hand, brings movement through the expression of water. Long associated with the sea and in particular salt water, she offers a beautiful image for the intelligence of movement over stagnation. 

Water is not only powerfully reflective, as we have explored, it is quite literally everywhere. Within us, around us, in the air we breathe, throughout the Earth and extending far beyond it into the cosmos. Existing in different forms, creating seen and unseen currents throughout physical and non-physical existence itself.

Water reflects to us, that equilibrium doesn’t arise through remaining still, it’s found through movement. It yields to life without surrendering its nature, it changes form according to the conditions it encounters, becoming mist, rain, river, ice and ocean while remaining fundamentally itself. 

This offers another mirror into the way balance is adaptable, and emerges through a reciprocal process.

Nature continually demonstrates that a forest does not exist through sameness, an ocean does not contain only calm water and the cosmos itself is not an arrangement of identical forces. Coherence naturally arises through right relationship and balance. 

This is also beautifully reflected in the equinox itself, because as the Earth moves into two seemingly opposite seasonal experiences, we see a type of magic unfolding. 

For those of entering spring, new growth appears, days lengthen and the movement towards emergence begins.

For those entering autumn there is a sacred movement into release, where what decomposes becomes soil for seeds of the new, a process that must be fully honoured to yield its fruits. 

In this way we see spectacularly how we can hold many seasons within ourselves. Parts will be entering spring while others are entering autumn. Something may be emerging at precisely the same time while something else is being released. 

We are often beginning and ending simultaneously, expanding and returning to stillness, becoming more visible while allowing an old identities to dissolve.

All of which draws us back to the focus and deeper invitations of equinox.

A time to ponder 💭

How willing am I to engage with the dance unfolding within?

Be encouraged to step all the way in, and simply notice where you are within your own spiralling journey.

Some questions to support contemplation:

What feels out of balance and in need of recalibration?

What parts want to fall away, and how can I allow them?

What is emerging, and how can I support it?

How truly willing am I to move into deeper flow with life, beyond the rigidity of what I already know and into that which I do not yet know, as water is reflecting in these moments?

There may be intuitive answers or no immediate answer at all.

Whatever the case may be, what we are doing here is allowing the dance to unfold naturally, in the same way that the Earth doesn’t simply stop at equinox in order to restore balance; it continues moving, and so too do we.

As always, it’s a journey lovers.

Earth school

For some time, I’ve found myself writing more openly on the Earth School experience. The sharing below, while not new in its essence, has in part taken on its present form following the recent passing of my extraordinary cousin, who left this precious existence some days ago.

Her transition has drawn me deeper inward, and simultaneously outward.

What is shared here is only my own musing and may collide greatly with that of others, so take what resonates and leave what doesn’t.

That said, for me, when one leaves this little spinning rock, something comes to be that cannot simply be deduced or contained within words.

It’s not so much that an ending is felt, although in one way this has occurred, but that something far less obvious comes into focus.

There are energetic currents of information that, in my experience, remain present within both the individual and collective ethers. I call these seeds or jewels. Some are planted, others are gleaned. These remain in the hearts of the ones left behind to discover.

Each one of us is undoubtedly a unique aspect of creation. How we express what we are carries a particular imprint. That imprint, while deeply unique in its own right, is simultaneously an expression of the same whole. And this alone, for me, is profound.

It is a musing that naturally both honours the precious life just transitioned, yet when engaged with deeply enough inevitably draws into focus something much larger… the meaning of our individual and collective existence, and what each of us, through our own lived expression shares with the whole.

There is a tendency within our society though, to relate to transitions primarily through what has ended or been lost. And while that experience is profoundly real, I have come to sense that it is not the entirety of what occurs.

Something equally remains.

Part of what follows is an exploration of that very thing.

An exploration that begins with a simple musing.

What is the purpose of this Earth School?

A musing through which one spends an entire life exploring that forms around one central idea.

That we each express a unique aspect of one creative source.

And as elusive as “source” may sound, for me this description is perfectly fitting. It simply recognises the force through which all of creation was birthed out of, something I and you are unmistakably an extension and unique expression of, no matter the belief system or absence of.

In this way amnesia forms part of the forgetting, and therefore the opportunity for return

Return to what ? you might ask.

I would offer, home.

Because if we truly recognised that nothing really exists separately from the whole, but rather out of it, through innumerable unique aspects, we might embrace this incredibly rich yet limited individualised and interconnected existence.

A lens that may feel abstract or depersonalised to engage with initially, yet, if leant into, is deeply nourishing.

It does not seek to exclude individuality, but to highlight how incredibly real, beautiful and Divine this is in its own right.

Conversely that isn’t to claim we are the totality of that Source in our own right as individual personalities or souls, which too is a cause of much issue, but that we are inseparable aspects, simply experiencing creation through a particularly unique and individual lens.

A type of understanding that evokes great contemplation if we allow.

A perspective that asks… if I understood myself to be a part of creation at the most fundamental level, an all pervasive source, how could one be truly unworthy or not belong?

Is source itself unworthy?

Does it not belong?

A fallacy we spend much of our lives living out of that falls greatly short of our truth and origins.

And therefore in my view living a life forms part of a journey here, one that centres itself fundamentally around forgetting and remembering… a rich dance Ive come to willingly and at times unwillingly participate in which offers many reflections and moments centred around humility.

An experience only possible through the density of our embodiment.

In this way we can perceive ourselves as separate from the whole, one another, earth and even from our own sacredness.

Yet is anything in of itself truly separate?

Or simply the range within our perception and awareness in a free will universe that allows for delineation?

Because despite how it may appear, free will serves an essential part of this journey, and our capacity to consciously or unconsciously forget or remember.

From this perspective, remembering is therefore not reconnecting something that was disconnected, but instead becoming conscious of a relationship that never ceased to exist.

Put simply it’s a choice to perceive or not to perceive it.

This places density in and of itself in the natural seat of the teacher rather than a boundary.

The conditions of physical existence then, are the stimulus through which experience acquires depth and meaning. Something I’ve come to know, characterise and appreciate as the “rub”, a contrast that highlights a tension or a question mark.

Through the lived experience of an existence governed by time, life, death and relationships, is a unique encounter with that whole.

That said remembering our origins cannot be acquired simply by collecting mental information, reading  books, doing a weekend workshop or simply hearing a discourse, but instead through a lived passage.

So despite the many who attempt to claim it, wisdom cannot be reached merely by deducing existence into spiritual truths or intellectual findings.

Instead, something that may be fundamentally known at the level of Source deepens through lived experience in order to become consciously understood and brought into completion, from which the medicine arises, a topic in its own right.

Earth then, at least from my limited lens continues to reflect a school of experience rather than somewhere from which one needs to escape or cling to.

In this way, the body is no less sacred than subtler expressions. It is itself an extension of creation.

The body and earth form part of a story enmeshed in a felt and lived experience rather than obstacles standing between us and the Divine as many teachings suggest. They are instead among the many ways in which this divinity can be expressed.

The invitation here is that of remembering that the body is a sacred instrument through which we may experience one of many realities and potentials. And from this lens physical existence can be honoured.

What increasingly feels like one of the greater cosmic jokes here, is the idea of ascending away from matter in search of a Source that matter itself was never separate from.

Ascension, from this perspective, contains an equally important descension process.

As awareness expands, consciousness is continually invited more deeply into embodiment, not further away from it. Just as shared in the prior transmission a tree’s capacity to reach towards the heavens depends upon the depth of its roots in the Earth, expansion and embodiment are therefore not only complementary but essential movements.

The invitation here is not to transcend being human, it is, in fact, the opposite. To become a student through which the totality of the human experience, brings greater awareness, truth and Love into “perceived” density.

Because part of living a life here is experiencing free will and understanding that what we do, individually speaking, undoubtedly impacts the greater Whole no matter how separate we feel.

And the more connected we are to this remembering through the lived experience of drawing that remembering into the places we’ve held amnesia and our limitations on what we are, the more loving outcomes may arise.

In this way I’ve come to appreciate the perception of separation is simply an illusion through which the possibility for choices and their consequences can be genuinely experienced.

That said, the greater the perceived separation, the greater the potential for harm, because another can increasingly enter into deeper states of amnesia and thus experience themselves as something fundamentally removed from the Whole, a cause of great pain and the source of much destruction.

And conversely, as remembering deepens, sacredness becomes increasingly apparent, not only within oneself but simultaneously within others and creation.

Something sacred within begins to recognise and greet that same sacredness in others. A lived expression of “Namaste” that  feels like a natural progression of that deepening connection.

Remembering is therefore fundamental to moving into right relationship with this existence here.

Because remembering connects us  with Love, and at least in my experience, Love is not simply an emotion, spiritual ideal or moral aspiration but instead a natural expression of remembering.

And as separation becomes less convincing, unnecessary harm becomes increasingly incompatible.

That said, this “Love” does not eliminate discernment. It instead moves us into right relationship with life itself. It reflects  the necessity for boundaries, accountability, and at times decisive action.

Non-judgment, then, is not passivity but rather completion, a complete understanding through which wisdom in right action, brings discernment without the necessity for others to be made separate or devoid of sacredness but instead simply at varying stages of remembering or forgetting.

In this way, life itself continually provides the experiences through which remembering can deepen.

And I would offer, rather than rejecting the difficult experiences, they can be consciously alchemised.

Meaning what initially appeared to be darkness contains precisely the experience through which greater understanding becomes possible. The vital soil and waters for the seed.

Therefore I’ve come to understand judgments as a carrier of information, revealing where something within remains unresolved, or is being perceived through an experience of separation.

So, through consciously meeting what is arising, we are supported to move towards completion.

An alchemical process, where the energy associated with an experience can be acknowledged, felt and allowed, and released. And what belonged to another time and space no longer needs to be carried into the present.

A natural phenomenon through which energy harmonises and wisdom in action takes its place.

That said, completion does not erase what happened. It simply changes our relationship with it.

Meaning what was once met with reaction can transform into integrated understanding and learning.

This to me, reveals why experience itself is precious.

In this way evolution and even periods of devolution naturally serve this process.

We as individuals encounter creation from a perspective that no other expression occupies in precisely the same way, and what is experienced out of that contributes to that greater understanding.

It’s a fascinating dance. One that mirrors that of many strings on a guitar or notes in a grander song, all perfectly in place.

The journey is therefore not meaningless simply because the return is fundamental but instead a reminder that nothing we do changes what we ultimately are of, yet what we do profoundly shapes what is experienced, understood and brought into our awareness along the way.

Therefore, spiritual maps which hold seeds of wisdom can offer languages and lenses through which this natural process is contemplated, but are not the process itself.

It’s instead a lived alchemical remembering, where direct experience remains essential. In the same way that you may get a degree in “swimming” but only truly understand it through the act of entering the water or that a person may possess elaborate spiritual knowledge and still experience profound separation, while another may possess little spiritual language and deeply know Love through how they live and meet life.

I have personally encountered many like this, and their presence continually mirrors the distinction between seeking ever higher spiritual perspectives from views borrowed rather than personally attained, tested, embodied and transformed through the actual work of Love.

This is why teaching and learning have never been hierarchical positions. We are all simply participating in Earth School.

Meaning one may have travelled particular terrain and be able to illuminate or accompany others through it while remaining a student of life themselves.

The purpose then, of these relationships is not to replace the other’s inner knowing with the teacher’s conclusions, but to invite a deeper encounter with their own experience.

Ultimately, truth must be lived rather than simply believed or intellectualised.

Thus, the journey itself can contain countless questions, yet completion and lived experience has a distinguishable and lasting impact.

And, when an experience has been fully encountered, understood and integrated, the question itself is no longer.

There is instead only ever an opportunity to understand that what appears to stand in the way of wholeness often reveals the places where our Love and remembering have reached their present limit.

The place within us that claims, “I can love anything but that.”

Again, not to be mistaken with condoning less than Love action that arises out of that amnesia.

There is just no longer a desire to do battle with it because experience has become knowing.

Not as a type of dogmatic certainty, but out of the absence of the question that was once avoided, rejected and hence required an answer. This is what I would call understanding.

And, beneath all of it lies something extraordinarily simple.

A journey of forgetting so that home can be remembered, experienced and known.

And in this way, we come to know that Love, in its highest octave, and what We Are, cannot be taken by anyone or anything, not even through death.

There is no “guru” or ascension process that can get you here other than you realising you, again and again, through remembering

My cousin Iva deeply appreciated this beautiful spinning rock and all of its Divine offerings. She loved with great passion, wonder and zest for life, and I choose now to honour her through my own experience, seeing the world too through the invitation of her eyes for however long that may be.

With Love,
Jen🪶

𝓢𝓮𝓮𝓭 𝓟𝓸𝓲𝓷𝓽.

𝓗𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓸 𝓑𝓮𝓪𝓾𝓽𝓲𝓯𝓾𝓵 𝓗𝓾𝓶𝓪𝓷𝓼,

For the past few years I have been sharing personally written transmissions/reflections with ones whom directly work with me which my heart loves doing, yet, in these moments it is feeling to offer some more widely. 

They cover coming home through the lens of mythology, cosmology, astrology and astronomy..  whatever serves the greater messaging.

If you would like to be included in energetic updates feel welcomed to look out for them here where long format for a time is still possible, or reach out directly to be included in regular WhatsApp, and soon to be sub-stack. All of which simply shared as an offering of the heart nothing more nothing less.

This one which is called 𝓢𝓮𝓮𝓭 𝓟𝓸𝓲𝓷𝓽, has its tendrils firmly centred in the new seeds we are 𝓹𝓵𝓪𝓷𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓲𝓷 𝓪 𝓽𝓲𝓶𝓮 𝓸𝓯 𝓰𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓽 𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓰𝓮 🌱 and offers an overview on the up and coming partial solar eclipse and full moon. So, be invited to engage through the lens of the heart.. and therefore feeling nature. ✋🏽🤍👁️

Hearts wide open friends.

As many of you will be energetically sensing we are now well and truly moving towards the close of an incredibly potent eclipse season. A time as shared with some of you in prior transmissions that forms part of a much greater unfolding story and seed point both individually and collectively speaking.

We are now tracking towards the final partial lunar eclipse, closing out another beautiful reflective and growthful dance between the sun, moon and the cosmos. 🌕🌑

This partial Eclipse which is not visible to the eye in Aus will be in exactitude 12:12pm this coming Friday 28th followed by the full moon 6 minutes later.

This means we not only find ourselves within a liminal space through which the seeds we are planting are gaining potency and momentum, but where the manifestation energies are naturally amplified and therefore continue to be a significant window to work with.

A time not only to direct our attention towards where we are heading, but to pay particular attention to our thoughts in the ‘day dreaming’ state, as this is pure manifestation territory, directly linked to the unconscious. A space where old patterns and narratives may replay, hence our work of repatterning the unconscious to support highest outcomes rather than unconsciously feeding what is arising for harmonisation.. 🦉💜

So, as we track towards the next eclipse which is also a big, beautiful and mystical Full Moon in Pisces there is much to unpack. Particularly around where we have been and where we are going.

This is mirrored spectacularly through the unique planetary nodal axis configuration as shared in the prior note. Having now shifted into a new nodal chapter, the South Node in Leo representing where we have been and the North Node in Aquarius illuminating where we are headed. Which tells a story about power,  leadership, reform and a great collective shift. We now have a beautiful invitation reflected through this Pisces and Virgo partial lunar eclipse and full moon around spiritual leadership and responsibility.

So, the intention of this transmission will simply be to contextualise this time we find ourselves, emphasise its energetic potency and offer further expansions around the opportunities/teachings/invitations to work with it, as part of a greater unfolding journey that is very much about raising our collective consciousness.

A story that begins in discovering first hand, the most important ingredient in a free will universe is the choice between 𝓛𝓸𝓿𝓮 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓕𝓮𝓪𝓻.

When we lock in to the frequency of love, truth naturally directs our words, deeds and actions. So this time is too very much about practicing love in action, another necessary ingredient of this time,  and as we do this, we see the ways it becomes a choice-less choice and anything less, feels unnatural and deeply unfulfilling.

The combination of Eclipse and full moon energies therefore directly support the subtle environments through which new seeds and energetic intentions grow and the ways we may sink deeper into the collective field, into the spaces we cannot yet see, understand or even yet fully articulate.

Because make no mistake the seeds we are planting in these moments hold the potential for an entirely new expression, the key to remember here is a seed of a flower or tree doesn’t simply perceive its final expression, it instead directs its attention into coming to be.

So, what we are really doing in these moments, is learning to harness our attention and intention through discovering what we are. A kind of re-attunement where we move better into sync with the system here.  This requires recognising our own powerful inner technology (something we will continue working with) and its influence of the interconnected field around us.

An orientation that naturally opens the doors to the intelligence of the cosmos and realtime gnosis that, despite what we have been sold, is available to each and every one of us.

So the work of plugging back into our innerness and the system we are a part of is fundamental to understanding ourselves in the greater, interconnected sense and to raising our individual and collective consciousness.

A place from which we get to harness the technology that we are naturally imbued and therefore participate in an active conversation and co-creation with the Universe, just as our ancient and highly advanced older brothers and sisters of the race once did.

And if we listen carefully there have  been big invitations around that reflected through the Full Moons, New Moons, eclipses, solstices, equinox and over all processional cycles that directly support this

With all that to heart, our focus is firmly centred on this particular Full Moon and partial lunar eclipse which is drawing us deeper into the soil beneath the surface, supporting our roots to extend further than they ever have before, and we do want this…

As it’s the means through which we get to exquisitely feel how it truly feels to live deeply connected, taking up uncharted space in the same way that a tree continues to extend its roots in order to reach towards the sky and enjoy expanded views.

This is directly related of course to the experience of moving inwards rather than outward for our stability. In the same way again that a seed can’t extend upward without first extending downward.

And of course as highlighted by the full moon, in order to continue to deepen our roots and therefore the depth we can hold, there is a natural necessity to unplug from that which keeps us enmeshed in the shallows.

Practically speaking these are the ideas and untruths we hold tightly that restrict that vital root system from establishing much needed depth, stability, and of course higher perspectives.

You see, the soil although black and dark is not darkness for darkness sake, but instead rich with vital sustenance. And part of the passage of reaching deeper within, into the places that at first feel devoid of light or unknown is coming to know through direct experience we are not descending into nothingness but instead plugging back in.

We are feeling in real time the ways we expand rather than contract and the ways anything less is simply a form of self rejection, and limitation.

So the message here is abundantly clear, we need not fear the dark, as the light only expands the deeper it enters these spaces.

An invitation to decouple from  associating connection in a spiritual sense with ascending out of the body, and instead a recognition of the simultaneous process of descension and ascension that we experience our bodies as an extension of the divine.

Part of a feminine and masculine integration process we will explore more in session.

The total self being that sacred receiver through which we get to draw down our roots into the physical planes here, allowing us to ultimately understand who we are, what we are and most importantly what we are a part of and therefore the powerful influence we have on the field around us.

We are in no uncertain terms co-creating this existence here, it cannot be any other way.

And another part of the teaching offered within this reflection is that of understanding ourselves to be a bridge, through which higher consciousness and truth may move deeper into the places much of the collective believe is devoid of meaning and light.

To experience, a deeper understanding, that nothing is truly devoid of life, how could it be ?

Everything down to the densest rock is a part of creation here and therefore the creator or what we might refer to as source.

Therefore the greatest illusion and cosmic joke within this physical realm is that of believing ourselves to be separate and devoid of sacredness.

The mirror here then, is that separation is simply our limitation on love,  on knowing Thy Self and this directly limits what and how we experience this existence here.

So as a part of our learning here as a soul embodied is the practice of descending into the places we don’t yet understand so we can do just that, understand. And this is part of the greater teaching. Hence the eclipse’s offerings.

A practice of knowing Thy Self through experiencing ourselves as a singular aspect of the Divine, while holding the understanding that we are always connected to, and part of, the collective whole.

A moment where we get a chance to truly appreciate in real time, it is only this illusion of separation (our amnesia) that disharmony unfolds.

So we practice drawing deeply inward rather than seeking meaning purely outside and experience returning home.

From this place, we engage in an ever expanding dance with creation, co-creating, exploring and planting the seeds of the world we wish to create and experience through the journey of remembering ourselves.

A beautiful unfolding if we truly allow.

So, this full moon partial eclipse again, really emphasises and invites us to release what stands in the way of our highest and most expanded expression so we may most importantly, allow the subtle root of the new seeds we have planted to receive the much needed sustenance to grow, unfurl and unravel into new form.

The energies within this eclipse which I will briefly expand on act as a portal and are potent, and as shared if used intentionally work as a type of activation, through which we shift our inner state, our biology and the field through which we meet the world around us.

As we have observed over and over energy undoubtedly seeds the world we create, therefore what happens within us is not separate from what eventually takes form around us.

So this is a powerful time to pay attention to what no longer feels in alignment.

Particularly around self imposed or societal limitations, expectations, areas of rigidity, outdated relationships, limited roles, structures, beliefs and identities that perhaps belonged to an earlier expression of ourselves but cannot necessarily accompany us into what comes next.

Keep this to heart as we journey along this transmission as there will be many invitations to return home.


𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓔𝓬𝓵𝓲𝓹𝓼𝓮 𝓟𝓸𝓻𝓽𝓪𝓵

Astronomically and astrologically speaking, eclipse season is a roughly 35 day period and a roughly every 173 day event. In essence the Sun moves close enough to one of the Moon’s orbital nodes. The Moon’s orbit in relation to the path of the Sun tilts 5 degrees  crossing at two points, at what we understand to be the North and South Nodes.

And this is where the teachings become a living curriculum, because astrologically, the nodal axis speaks very much to the journey between what has been and what is yet to be.

The South Node which was the focus of the eclipse just passed represents what we know, and where we have been.

Here, we find our past, our patterns, old attachments, established ways of being, some of which are well honed and useful because we have lived them again and again while others have become limitations.

The North node on the other hand draws us towards what is developing. Towards the unfamiliar, the edge of growth and towards the expression of ourselves, individually and collectively, that is yet to be fully realised.

And so eclipse season creates what we might describe of as an 𝓪𝓬𝓬𝓮𝓵𝓮𝓻𝓪𝓽𝓮𝓭 𝓬𝓸𝓻𝓻𝓲𝓭𝓸𝓻 𝓸𝓯 𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓰𝓮. A threshold as we have spoken about through which the what has been falls away and what is becoming, is supported to come to be.

That said, this doesn’t mean abolishing our past, but instead repurposing it, mulching up, transmuting, and gleaning the useable wisdom for the future we wish to create, a process through which we get to realise that demonising the past ultimately forms part of the swings and cycles that keep us stuck here.

Wisdom is therefore coming into completion. And this has not only great utility but is the medicine.

So the question to ponder in these moments is:

How receptive or resistant am I to rooting inward, really?

The Full Moon which is poetically timely here, brings things towards their natural culmination, illumination and completion. And the potent combination of energies allow us to make a greater connection to a much longer developmental story.

It is a therefore deeply personal time individually speaking…

A time to dig deep and ask ….

👁️ If I dared to venture inwards, even if just for a moment, what do I now see that is no longer in resonance with the truth of my being?

What gift or jewel have I been avoiding that I am willing to reclaim now?

Ponder 💭

💎 Belonging that is rooted deeply here as part of the greater whole.

💎Worthiness that is and enough simply because it exists.

💎Uniqueness that fully honours its own expression without seeking outside validation or diminishing that of another.

💎And a self Determination that dares to live unwavering from truth rather than pushed and pulled by life.

As much of the old foundations that exist on comfort, self doubt or familiarity are deeply fragile.

So, what relational dynamics, false identities and ways of moving in the world need an upgrade to resonate with the frequency of your true note?

As we are learning here  endings are not an indication of what’s gone wrong, but instead evidence of completion.

And therefore it is our grappling with the past versions of us that prevents  this jewel from revealing itself. 👁️💎

Because with each ending we expand so much deeper.

All part of the collectives greater unfolding, into the frequency of 𝓤𝓷𝓬𝓸𝓷𝓭𝓲𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵 𝓛𝓸𝓿𝓮, which is indeed devoid of attachment, yet completely interconnected with life, a paradox we get to appreciate more fully here. And part of the ways we are able to greet life from a “here I AM, and there You Are” reality we speak of in session, also known as the Namaste experience “the source in me, greets the source in you”

This brings us to 𝓦𝓪𝓽𝓮𝓻 🌊 as our next teacher.

This particular eclipse takes place with the Moon in Pisces opposite the Sun in Virgo. And as Pisces beautifully offers, it’s governed by water. Deep, deep water. The waters of intuition, dreams, spirituality, compassion and the dissolution of the boundaries that have convinced us we are somehow separate from the greater whole.

Water is incredibly important within this transmission and our entire existence here. It is incredibly conscious, lacks rigidity and doesn’t seek to hold on to form instead to move with it, respond to it and reflect it. In this way it is proficient in the dance and  exists in a state of flow and co-creation.

Far from a passive element, a deeply receptive force that seeks to nourish and sustain life, and equally wash away what is no longer of use. It’s therefore deeply purifying. And this element lives deeply within you, forming part of that instrument that you are.

We explored in the last transmission the story of the Nile. Where a flood may appear destructive when viewed from one moment in time, yet the same waters bring the fertile earth from which an entirely new cycle of life can emerge.

And we are indeed being asked to remember its invitations now. To understand its presence isn’t destruction for destruction’s sake but a necessary medicine.

Something we are seeing much of on the planet, through the other elements of fire and air, which are actively burning and clearing away the dross.

Pisces, too ultimately speaks to interconnectedness. It reminds us touching into the Divine is to remember ourselves, and that of being part of something much greater.

And so this is indeed a deeply 𝓼𝓹𝓲𝓻𝓲𝓽𝓾𝓪𝓵 eclipse, a bringing of higher consciousness into the here and now.

In this way it offers us an exquisite mirror for consciousness itself. Individually expressed, yet part of something much greater, and therefore in a constant state of co -creation.

Thus bringing greater emphasis reflecting and therefore creating within our own waters and the waters of the collective.

This brings us to 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓔𝓪𝓻𝓽𝓱 and next teacher reflected through Virgo🌱

During this full moon the Sun finding its home opposite this great Piscean ocean in the sign of Virgo, mutable earth.

And, this feels incredibly important. Because while Pisces leads us into the infinite, Virgo is concerned with what we 𝓭𝓸 with what we know.

And so it supports us to ground the knowing here and now. It asks how will our wisdom inform our words, deeds, actions, and the ways we tend and connect to the living world?

Virgo draws our attention to earth medicine, and the ways spirituality become manifest.

And perhaps this is where we begin to understand what it actually means to become a 𝔀𝓸𝓻𝓴𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓶𝓪𝓼𝓽𝓮𝓻. Rather than spiritual seeker chasing ascension out of the human experience, we experience the ways we may be deeply rooted from within it.

And therein lies the teachings of the trees.

Because as we have explored even the tallest most majestic tree understands it cannot reach towards the heavens without simultaneously extending its roots deep into the earth, where it shares of its wisdom with the forest. Again, a reminder and mirror into the necessity of balancing the feminine and masculine principles another teaching we are deeply exploring.

Trees are too grand connectors, the larger and deeper the root system the more significant impact on the greater forest. In fact there have been many studies demonstrating the role of grandfather and mother trees which share frequencies with the greater forest particularly in times of challenge and too offer the evidence of the ways the eco system becomes damaged and unable to thrive without them.

And perhaps there is something worth remembering here…
For those who choose to root here fully in this way form part of the 𝓫𝓻𝓲𝓭𝓰𝓮 𝓰𝓮𝓷𝓮𝓻𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷 as part of an  eco/immune system response, working to hold both, spirit and matter, heaven and earth. A deeply precious role, because at the most fundamental level by simply being, are restoring the balance.

And this is where the Virgo influence becomes so particularly potent, because it transforms all of the ideas, visions and wildly expanded states we have touched into and makes them manifest. Because expanded consciousness without embodiment is really just another abstraction.

The real work, then, is grounding it here and now.

𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓕𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓡𝓸𝔂𝓪𝓵 𝓢𝓽𝓪𝓻𝓼 💫

There is another ancient layer woven through this particular eclipse that feels important to explore, and that is the activation of one of the Four Royal Stars.

For those of you unfamiliar, the four stars are Regulus, Aldebaran,  Antares and Fomalhaut, and considered the watchers of the skies. And symbolically there is something particularly extraordinary about their place within our wider story.

The Royal Stars are each concerned with the way power is harnessed in service of unity, balance and harmony.

Each carries the potential for influence and test. When power becomes distorted through manipulation or self-interest, the very thing that elevated it can become the point through which one falls.

And so the Royal Stars have long carried this fascinating duality of 𝓻𝓲𝓼𝓮 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓯𝓪𝓵𝓵.

Regulus, the watcher of the North is the great heart of the Lion, who has been very active this past month, speaks to leadership, courage, nobility and the heart. Its lesson is very much about the right use of power.

Regulus reminds us that true sovereignty is not power over, but power in right relationship with love.

And as shared, we have just moved through a powerful Leo activation. Heightening themes of leadership, visibility very much remain up for review within the greater collective. Because the higher expression of Leo has never simply been about being seen.

It is about radiance from the heart.

Aldebaran the great watcher of the East is the eye of the bull, it carries themes of integrity, honour and courage. Its reminder is simple. There can be no sustainable new world built upon the same distortions that created the old.

Antares is the watcher of the West, known as the Heart of Scorpio, an enormous creative force, that speaks to passion, transformation, endings and rebirth.

Fire can illuminate and transform, but when unconsciously held it causes harm.

And then there is the Fomalhaut, Watcher of the South, known as the great mouth of the Fish, a star that is particularly significant within the waters of this Pisces eclipse.

Fomalhaut has long held deeply mystical and spiritual associations. It speaks to vision, ideals, imagination, spiritual intelligence and the ability to perceive beyond the ordinary world.

And perhaps this is why its presence within the Piscean waters feels so potent. It works with the great waters of Pisces to dissolve the boundaries between self and whole, through the lens of  spiritual intelligence.

It asks …

Can we recognise the Divine within  without claiming ownership of it?

Can we receive insight without turning it into superiority?

And, can we remain discerning while opening to the unknown?

There is something within this that speaks beautifully to harnessing the  𝓼𝓪𝓬𝓻𝓮𝓭 𝓽𝓮𝓬𝓱𝓷𝓸𝓵𝓸𝓰𝔂 within.

Because expanded consciousness isn’t about reaching outside, it’s about coming home.

It’s that simple.

𝓤𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓲𝓪𝓷, 𝓟𝓵𝓾𝓽𝓸𝓷𝓲𝓪𝓷 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓝𝓮𝓹𝓽𝓾𝓷𝓲𝓪𝓷 𝓘𝓷𝓯𝓵𝓾𝓮𝓷𝓬𝓮𝓼

And if that wasn’t potent enough… there are other powerful configurations woven into this time.

With the Moon sitting in a powerful conversation with Uranus, the planet of awakening, disruption, revelation.

Uranus as it stands is sitting in  Gemini which brings an added focus to communication, information, ideas and truth.

And through Uranus’s gaze, much becomes visible, Illusions are challenged and Insights follow.

Meaning collectively, we are likely to continue to see questions arising around leadership, systems, trust, communication and structures collapsing that we once believed  would remain stable.

And, this type of de scaffolding isn’t only something that happens out there. It begins within.

We notice the veils of illusion lifting  and that which comes with 
extraordinary clarity must be addressed.

This undoubtedly brings significant shifts within relationships, particularly those no longer operating from authenticity.

And while it may feel disruptive, we are reminded that disruption and awakening have always been close companions serving a much greater conversation.

Then of course there is Pluto the planet of transformation and Neptune the planet of spirit who add their own currents of collective transformation and spiritual initiation, and this is where we see spirit merging with mater through Virgo once again.

In this way we see everything has its grand place in the whole. Because we can indeed receive extraordinary ideas, touch into expanded states,  can glimpse higher potentials, but it is what we do with it that Matters.

So, this brings us back to where we began. The seed. 👁️🌱

In this way what we choose to release matters, what we choose to feed matters and as we have been exploring the extraordinary sacred instrument through which we experience this reality matters.

The practice then, is of becoming  increasingly conscious of what we are broadcasting through the powerful instrument that we are.

Because energy seeds the world we wish to create.

And this feels to be the core musing to carry through these coming days.

A drawing deeply inward and continuing to tend those tiny, precious roots.

Because even the tallest tree once began as a precious seed and the seeds we spoke about earlier this month are already beneath the soil.

Here comes the water lovers … 🌊🌱

With boundless love,
Jen 🪶

transitions

Despite our transition into brighter seasons here in the southern hemisphere, it’s felt naturally more still and introspective. There’s been a call to drop into a deeper listening, which for me has been a welcomed sea change.

A type of divine directive that felt clear the moment it landed to support the energetic shifts moving through the collective in these moments.

Many of you too, will have been feeling a call home to that innerness, despite the momentum of a world speeding up.

We are indeed entering a time of energetic and technological change, that is moving much faster than anticipated.

With that, the body naturally yearns to recalibrate & adapt to the new information streaming in.
The ripples that flow out of this can be felt through the collective on all the multidimensional levels through which we exist.

It is, in essence, a process of allowing more light in. And as more light shines onto the planet through the increase in solar activity as the Sun reaches the peak of the Solar Cycle, comes unearthing the unseen. Much like shining a spotlight in a dim room, illuminates only what has always been there.

This can be felt individually and collectively, mirrored in politics, world affairs, and in our own internal worlds. A process that can feel incredibly uncomfortable, yet serve an essential passage of returning to our wholeness.

A process that naturally calls us forward, to face fear itself and reveal what can no longer travel forward along our journey. Through this lens, the very act of allowing more light in, carves out space for the new.

A natural part of evolution.

For me the slowing down and inward focus has felt essential - like a choice-less choice. A simple yet potent passage.

The call came paired with intuition to fast this time stretching out over fourteen days, allowing deeper being in the body, with the breath, in deep relationship across all layers of the bodies, physical, mental, emotional and soul levels.

A physical and energetic recalibration, and purging of sorts, and opening of inner hearing beyond the noise.

In this way, it was a type of ritual.

That said, food has always felt like a natural source of joy and nourishment, yet equally can be a means for distraction, seeking comfort, and avoidance.

This constant chase for satiating is relatively new to us post the introduction of plentiful abundance and much consumer programing. Yet, our bodies are intelligent design for feasting and fasting is encoded within. And in someways because of this “memory”, we often eat as a survival response even when there is no need.

Some too may position fasting as extreme. Yet, I would offer, while it’s naturally an very individual choice, and not suited to everybody, this certainly does not feel the case.

That said this isn’t a claim that all should fast or even attempt it, it’s simply a useful pondering to ask yourself where is your focus? in the same way as why you might undertake any activity, is it a distraction from what you are really feeling or just a program consumed?

Because beyond the many physical benefits, fasting is really an invitation to feel more deeply. To give the body space to release, rebuild, and regenerate.

To feel what’s there and allow just enough space to process out that energy and to meet self more inwardly.

Post this fast, its felt different, choices have felt clearer, body more attuned, discernment sharpened, authenticity and connection deepened. A call into truth that feels anchoring.

A non negotiable pealing away of anything that cannot come along in the next stage of the journey, with no exceptions.

And so if you have read up to this point, maybe you are wondering why I’m sharing this? I would offer, it’s really a nudge for anyone feeling the pull to shift into the new. To listen and courageously step in. Follow your expansion energy which naturally feels scary yet exhilarating, vs contraction, which feels safe but powerless.

Despite how it feels you will always be supported, even within the uncertainty.

I don’t claim to have the answers, but what I know for sure is, that following the love always delivers. Because there is no greater purpose than returning to your wholeness.

If this resonates, or ignites something within you, be invited to breathe deeply and ever-so naturally into your body. Connect into your heart and that innerness, and courageously reorient your sails for love, in whatever way feels true for you.

With love always,
Jen

The more light expands the deeper it enters the dark.

The more light expands the deeper it enters the dark.

In this same way, to deny the dark is to fuel it.

That is not to say that entering the dark should equate to getting lost in it or feeding it.

It is instead to say that moving the light into it is part of a necessary vehicle for transformation, growth and learning.

You see, the dark is not the enemy. Without its contrast there is no understanding.

Just as the depth of the soil is essential to the seed, to deny its necessity is to deny its very existence.

And so it is not the light in itself that seeks to oppose the dark, but the light that seeks it out, both in service to its contrast and its illumination.

No one ever truly returns from the dark without something sacred.

This is not to romanticise it, nor to suggest that what is gained is always perceivable to all who encounter it, but to acknowledge what becomes available from within it.

In the same way that through loss, something greater can be gained.
And if you allow yourself to receive it, you will hold something that can never be taken.

In physical loss of any degree arises the opportunity to meet greater octaves of love, the quiet knowing that love is never truly lost, only changed in form.
Not physical separation or even death can take it, nor does it seek to.

In this way we come to see the expression of grief is simply the measure of love.

From this lens, darkness becomes one of our greatest teachers and invitations in the depths of the unimaginable to ask, what is here for me? and humbly reorient in accordance.

If, in the finding, the world feels dark… carry the light toward it, in spite of what draws you away from it.

Many sages and mystics have written about this elusive way of being.
And beyond poetic mysticism lies a depth far beyond comprehension.

A place deep within where the light burns brightly in spite of that which opposes it.

A depth the mind cannot grasp, yet the heart instinctively remembers.

And I intend to spend the remainder of this life exploring it.

A changing world

In a changing world, what we consume, follow and give our energy to is evolving.

A time where vertical influence finds itself garnering attention and what was once consumed blindly becomes unpalatable.

Yet, despite how chaotic its appearance, this is an important time.

As the glue that once bound such structures together is dissolving and layers of truth are unfolding.

On the world stage, metaphorically expressed, it looks like having the lights suddenly switched on. Where the haze of glamour dissolves, and the illusion becomes impossible to ignore.

Uncomfortable, yes. Embarrassing, maybe. Confronting, definitely. Yet the starkness brings deep significance… it signals an energetic handover.

A switch from illusion to illumination and that is important, because the light illuminates all things including the stark beauty of this world.

And so it is indeed timely, an opportunity to review our part, including the influences we currently look towards and allow us to observe the ways they do or do not align to the world we wish to create.

After all, systems are empowered by those who give their energy to them.

That said, as in any long standing relationship, it requires partaking in the humbling job of digesting having played a part in its dysfunction. And that too is important.

Because, in these moments it is all too easy to point the finger.

Yet, at the most fundamental level it’s a form of distraction, really.

A means to inadvertently deny our power to co-create, and the impact of our choices.

And this is dangerous.

Because despite what we may wish to claim, we are indeed co-creating in every moment, through every thought, deed and action.

The question is, are we consciously co-creating?

A shift from wanting our hands to appear clean, to a willingness to actually work on that, and to look at the reality already within, a necessary medicine for healing.

When we are radically honest about our inner health, a natural orientation towards true wellness arises.

Qualities like discernment, balance, free thinking, personal agency, liberation and most importantly self responsibility become preferential.

We are much harder to manipulate, naturally more sovereign and willing to contribute what’s best for the whole.

We see this naturally occurring phenomenon in thriving ecosystems.

In biology, a strong and healthy cell contributes by responding to the signals of the whole. It takes only what it needs. It communicates and contributes, thus behaving in a way that indicates overall homeostasis depends upon the strength of the individual cell as well as systemic balance.

A unhealthy cell, on the other hand, ignores the signals of the system. It over consumes, over replicates, refuses feedback and ultimately destabilises the organism it depends upon.

In a system like humanity, this too is naturally occurring.

We only have to look a little deeper to see there have been many clues of these “healthy and unhealthy influential cells” sprinkled all around us.

And if we allow ourselves, we will feel them within us.

All of which speaks to an undeniable truth.

𝓐𝓰𝓮𝓷𝓬𝔂 𝓪𝓼 𝓪 𝓷𝓮𝓬𝓮𝓼𝓼𝓪𝓻𝔂 𝓼𝓾𝓹𝓮𝓻𝓹𝓸𝔀𝓮𝓻.

Socrates taught enquiry centred on what already existed within the student as unrealised potential.

Albert Bandura’s work explored self efficacy, highlighting that when people are witnessed as capable, they begin to see themselves as such.

Jung taught that we often place our unclaimed authority, wisdom or divinity onto others, and that balance arises through reclaiming it.

“Healthy cells” model a deeply inward LOVE-led orientation through which thriving, rather than fear based survival dynamics, becomes possible.

Because 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮 𝓪𝓽 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓱𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓮𝓼𝓽 𝓸𝓬𝓽𝓪𝓿𝓮 naturally elevates and calls you forward.

Not the abstract kind, but the kind where qualities such as truth, discernment, responsibility, compassion, unity and wisdom are intentionally honed and cultivated.

This love is embodied and therefore powerful.

Energetically speaking, the heart generates a powerful electromagnetic field that can entrain the rhythms of nearby nervous systems, meaning there is incredible power that lies within each and every one of us.

When we hold higher frequencies in our own hearts, our entire field reorganises around that coherence, and that coherence radiates outward.

In this way, each of us is a stabilising node on the planet, where we may anchor the energy needed, such as clarity, harmony and higher consciousness into the collective field.

And therein lies a profound remembrance…

𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓗𝓸𝓹𝓲 people knew this. They were known as the “peaceful ones”. They understood humanity as guardians of an ancient covenant between the Earth and the sky, called to walk in balance.

Their teachings remind us that when humanity forgets its sacred origin, imbalance grows and it is through the heart that we restore balance.

So in these transitional times, be invited to look beyond the veils of that which seeks to reinforce illusion, harvest fear, gather followers, adoration, wealth or promise saviourship, towards that which mirrors and calls you into true agency.

Because this type of power sustains and creates a truly harmonious and loving world.

𝓘𝓯 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝔀𝓲𝓼𝓱 𝓽𝓸 𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓰𝓮 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝔀𝓸𝓻𝓵𝓭, 𝓮𝔁𝓪𝓶𝓲𝓷𝓮 𝔀𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓬𝓱𝓸𝓸𝓼𝓮 𝓽𝓸 𝓮𝓶𝓹𝓸𝔀𝓮𝓻.

A sacred frequency

Within every living being is a unique essence.

A sacred frequency and note.

One that in its current expression has never been before and will never be again.

When realised in all of its potential, this frequency sounds an indescribable radiance that bursts into colour and out into the world.

These bursts of cosmic light paint life with limitless creativity and expression.

Each flicker leaving a mark, adding to its magnificence in the same way every detail of a brushstroke adds to a piece of art.

A never ending sacred dance that forms part of a greater symphony, the song of life itself.

The beauty of its expression not only seen and felt but woven deep within the cells of our being and the very fabric of creation.

A living collective wave and frequency.

That forms a type of cosmic mirror through which those who dance with it experience their reflection as part of a collective whole.

So in a world that sells you lack as motivation to shape a “successful” life around, be reminded, it is the current that runs within you upon which the beauty of this world is founded.

HEALING: THROUGH COMPASSIONATE ENQUIRY.

Recently, there’s been a natural orientation towards study in the field of trauma-based recovery, through the lens of compassionate enquiry.

Both for my own interest and to support my beautiful clients on the many multidimensional layers we work with. It’s been a really expansive experience. One that is not only enriching and deepening my own personal thesis but also my capacity to support others at deeper levels. An experience that naturally highlights the undeniable necessity and value in being the subject and a student of what you teach.

In truth, I’ve come to know much of the material not through formal study, but in the most personal way, through my own healing journey.

Despite the common misconceptions though, it’s seldom through the intellect that true understanding arises. And, as noble as good intentions alone seem, this too often fails to suffice.

It is instead, one of lived experience, through which we come to be the subject and the product of the teaching.

In this way, I’ve come to appreciate that for learning to become “gnosis” (which could be described as a knowing that has ripened into the marrow of who you are, unshakable because it is lived) for the most part arises out of a felt experience with illumination, revelation, and integration, and therefore is understood by those who have experienced first-hand the power and transformation available through higher love.

By illumination (in context to healing) I mean those moments when light touches what was previously unseen, when something long veiled in shadow is suddenly brought into awareness and the light.

Revelation, on the other hand, is the felt realisation that follows; it is when the meaning of what has been highlighted begins to unfold within you, and for a fleeting moment you not only see it but experience it in all its potentials, often accompanied with a deep sense that “this truth has always been here.”

Integration (as the name suggests) is where that realisation is no longer just a thought or a feeling, it becomes embodied, lived, and allowed to reshape the way we meet the world. When these experiences have taken their natural course, what remains is unshakable gnosis.

Through this lens I’ve come to appreciate, it is, through diligent application and commitment to our newly found truth that we make space for the new seeds to take root across all facets of our life.

And this is without a doubt available to each and every one of us, if we are open to it.

On the subject of trauma, which impacts our human aspects, and therefore our capacity for inner peace and harmony both within and without, this understanding is helpful because: 𝓣𝓻𝓪𝓾𝓶𝓪 𝓲𝓼𝓷’𝓽 𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓵𝓵𝔂 𝓪𝓫𝓸𝓾𝓽 𝔀𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓱𝓪𝓹𝓹𝓮𝓷𝓮𝓭 𝓽𝓸 𝔂𝓸𝓾; 𝓲𝓽’𝓼 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓷𝓪𝓻𝓻𝓸𝔀𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓸𝓯 𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝔀𝓸𝓻𝓵𝓭𝓿𝓲𝓮𝔀 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓹𝓸𝓷𝓼𝓮 𝓽𝓸 𝓲𝓽.

That said, it can still be surprising to hear, trauma isn’t simply the “crash-bang” moments etched in our memory (although it can be). Much of our “trauma” is born out of the micro-fractures we experience over time, particularly during our developmental years when we depended on our primary caregivers for safety and survival.

An inbuilt mechanism that is to some degree unavoidable and encoded into our human nature.

In this way it’s not necessarily about having an experience of “abusive primary caregivers” or a “perceived abusive early childhood” (although for some, it can feel and quite literally be that way). It is, actually anything that occurs and causes the recipient to go into a state of permanent contraction. This natural, protective adaptation, once serving us, becomes the very thing that limits our reality now.

For instance, on the topic of adaptations; consider the development of ADD/ADHD which is often experienced as a narrowing of the attention span, sometimes described as a dysregulation of attention (with the paradox of hyperfocus) where being fully present in the moment becomes a challenge. In context to a trauma response, this can be understood as a possible adaptation arising as early as infancy, emerging from extreme discomfort, in an attempt to dissociate; or as a protective reaction to overstimulation or threat that was not met with soothing in the moment.

This highlights that trauma and its associated adaptations, while not always in our conscious awareness, simply find their home inside of us as survival-based mechanisms and most often do not go away until they’re in one way or another harmonised. And although the memory (if we can access it) of its happenings may fade; the feelings, and adaptations in their essence, remain.

Here’s a picture that for me really illustrates this: a story told by a wonderful physician Gabor Maté -

if a person walked up to you and tapped you lightly on the shoulder, would it hurt? Most would likely say no. Yet, what if, beneath your clothing, you had a deep burn on that shoulder, where your skin was no longer protecting the sensitive layers beneath? Would my tap hurt? You might answer yes. Why? Not because the tap was hard, maliciously intended, or forceful, but because there was a deep sensitivity there. Yet, it was always just a tap.

When we are triggered, we are often quick to attribute that blame to the situation or other, shifting attention outward or, for some, spiralling into self-condemnation. Yet the message is the same: the reaction does not match the occurrence. Highlighting there is a wound, and it is not healed.

This type of self-observation isn’t about picking to pieces or looking for issues, that would be pointless, as if a past happening didn’t traumatise you, there won’t be any residue.

And so, compassionate enquiry is really a means to identify it and allows us to heal it, if and only if it arises.

It is true that some seemingly traumatic experiences do not always result in held trauma; it will all depend on how it was handled in the moment and moments near after.

If we were well supported and created strong supportive narratives around it, it can often serve our learning, and our worldview does not narrow. It may even, in some cases, cause us to expand.

Essentially though, for those moments where this did not happen, if we do not address those areas of relevant impact, at least until they fade to the equivalent of a scar (where there is a memory/story without a charge) there will remain places of sensitivity that we adapt ourselves around.

𝓘𝓽 𝓲𝓶𝓹𝓪𝓬𝓽𝓼 𝔀𝓱𝓸 𝔀𝓮 𝓑𝓔.

And so I would offer instead: healing is not simply dredging up the past, but reorienting and freeing ourselves from the limitations that have kept us bound and no longer serve us, so we may live freely in the world as it truly is.

Therefore, acknowledging our pain points becomes an act of liberation, and love, through which we see the ways we narrowed our worldview to cope.

This then gives us access to it, and through compassionate enquiry we learn our wounds are not bigger than us, they are just scary because we do not know what to do with them, which is why they are still hanging around.

So rather than pushing it away or rejecting them we start to loosen there hold on us.

This isn’t about going into agreement or walking around holding our wounds like they are fixed parts of us. We are instead learning to re-parent ourselves 𝓽𝓱𝓻𝓸𝓾𝓰𝓱 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓿𝓮𝓻𝔂 𝓲𝓶𝓹𝓸𝓻𝓽𝓪𝓷𝓽 𝓵𝓮𝓷𝓼 𝓸𝓯 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓱𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓮𝓻 𝓼𝓮𝓵𝓯, and give those parts a new experience, and an opportunity to be liberated from the cages we have built around them.

Yet, if we don’t reclaim the role- we will inevitably carry our wounds into our relationships, communities, and even our systems of power.

𝓐𝓷𝓭 𝓼𝓸, 𝓰𝓸𝓮𝓼 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓼𝓪𝔂𝓲𝓷𝓰 “𝓲𝓯 𝔀𝓮 𝓭𝓸𝓷’𝓽 𝓱𝓮𝓪𝓵 𝔀𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓱𝓾𝓻𝓽 𝓾𝓼, 𝔀𝓮 𝔀𝓲𝓵𝓵 𝓲𝓷𝓮𝓿𝓲𝓽𝓪𝓫𝓵𝔂 𝓫𝓵𝓮𝓮𝓭 𝓸𝓷 𝓽𝓱𝓸𝓼𝓮 𝔀𝓱𝓸 𝓭𝓲𝓭𝓷’𝓽 𝓬𝓾𝓽 𝓾𝓼”

Many of us don’t recognise the ways we express what we needed as a child through our external interactions and relationships.

For someone who feels they were never heard, or neglected, this might express as being overly attentive, caring, or rescuing others in disproportionate ways.

The other swing may be overstating or taking more than we need, to varying degrees of acts of power, where we reclaim it in a disproportionate way.

Sure, both swings of the same coin may give the wounded part temporary relief or control, yet in essence this only glues us to it. This is the opposite of liberation and love.

For the example of the over-giver, it may offer a sense that love is available out there, because you are demonstrating it, which can feel deeply healing to these parts. Yet it can also be a means we re-enact our deepest pain points.

You see, when we rescue someone from their own feelings or situations we take responsibility for what is not ours. Often this causes the recipient to feel held in the moment, and sometimes very grateful. In that way we may feel seen, validated, and kind of heart. This too can feel and be positive, but, if that care is given in disproportionate amounts (and often it is), it becomes greatly limiting for the other’s growth, causing dependency, where we are essentially farming out our need to feel needed in trade for their dependency.

And of course, as typically seen, if the one we over-extend happens to fail to meet our worldview of gratitude and appreciation, it inevitably results in affirming the wound and painting the other as a villain in the story. For some this will sound familiar…

Because the part of you witnessing this sees you giving love to others, but no to yourself, reinforcing the meaning previously made: love exists, but to the exclusion of me.

We come to know that love is out there … we are just not deserving of it.

This is just one example of the many possible ways we can express our inner most wounds by overcompensating for others, or expecting others to do the same, which mearly serves to distract us from what we are really needing: our own love and parenting.

Even if we are consciously unaware of it, we are demonstrating that we are still waiting for a primary caregiver in our partner, our loved ones, or the world to take over the role, rather than simply being it for ourselves.

Yet our partners and people we are in close relationship with are not meant to be our “parents” in the way we needed as children. This is an incredibly difficult and unreasonable standard to hold and of course inevitably sets them up to fail.

A dysfunction that is largely unhelpful to either party.

It’s akin to trying to wipe a spot on your face through the mirror - It of course never works.

This type of dysfunctional behaviour is everywhere we turn, in particular observed in the power struggles we see play out in the world. Many of our leaders are traumatised people who happen to be responsible for making decisions for the greater collective through a narrow lens or worldview.

This is often too where the need for validation, control, and power plays out.

The truth is, collective healing demands leaders who are in right balance. And that requires the demonstration of some degree of self-mastery.

And we too, no matter the degree of our real-world responsibilities, cause our own ripple effect; to which we are responsible.

In this way self responsibility - beginning with self awareness is courageous, and both an act of love and service to others.

Another type of misunderstood trauma is inherited adaptations.

Another story that may illustrate this is an experiment on fleas: where a scientist placed fleas in a jar with a lid on it for an extended period of time. For a while, the fleas jumped at the lid, trying to escape. After a few days, the lid was removed, the flees continued to jump, but none of them jumped beyond the height where the lid had once been.

They had conceded, through prior experience, that it was not possible to get beyond it even when the limitation was removed. What was more illuminating was the offspring inherited the same limitation, having never been exposed to it directly.

This is a learned, generational adaptation.

Many of us are here with inherited programs. And without realising it, we are still living under glass ceilings that no longer exist. In this way, it highlights that to some degree, healing is for everyone, and in fact it’s crucial for the betterment of humanity. And it is deeply humbling to acknowledge and understand that we cannot bypass it.

No amount of perceived plastering over or spiritual bypassing will get you beyond it.

So how then do we begin to heal?

We start by reclaiming our internal parenting dynamics (a relationship that is, and was always ours to take over post-childhood).

And through the lens of compassion, where we work with diligently to establish internal safety - because Love (the true kind) is actually safe and this experience heals. This is not the type of "love" that is outsourced to others in unhealthy ways or the in a passive airy fairy way, but a deeply compassionate, wise, relenting, humbling and uplifting way, the kind that naturally returns you to wholeness through the understanding - this can never be taken: 𝓫𝓮𝓬𝓪𝓾𝓼𝓮 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓐𝓡𝓔 𝓲𝓽.

So, it isn’t about wrapping wounded parts in cotton wool or creating barricades around them, or protecting and preserving our wounds, instead it’s about compassionately moving beyond them. In the same way that a wound - even the most severe kind leaves a scar. You may have a story but the wound is no longer open. Some wounds do disappear without a trace and others are a story we tell, yet the no longer control, dictate or limit our lives.

It’s a very real opportunity to step into the quality of self-determination.

Where we learn we always have a choice. We can’t control what happens outside of us, and sometimes even to us, but we can control the way we respond.

We learn that the ability to self-regulate and heal is a super power and one that makes us both safe for ourselves and safe for others we are in relationship with.

Healing is a prerequisite for thriving, through both a spiritual and a non-spiritual lens, and deep down, we come to know it is all the same thing.

It is my experience that 𝓛𝓸𝓿𝓮 can and will reach into all things, because it’s our fundamental nature. And in order to live out of this, we must integrate it into all layers of our beingness.

And naturally, as we experience more of for ourselves in this way, we come to see it is available to all other beings; because we not only naturally begin to see ourselves in others (through an experience of knowing thy self - as within so without) but we get to hold a lantern to a possibility some never imagined possible.

It’s through our own healing we come to deeply know this.

What is possible is far beyond our capacity to grasp or imagine, so instead we learn to be fully here, present in the body, and allow the mystery and joy of living a human life to be the ongoing thesis and ecstatic part of the journey.

Through this lens we come to see that the world doesn’t benefit from more people trying to clean the faces of others, but from our individual integration, and self responsibility. In my view, this is a means through which real change can occur: not through entering into a war with dysfunction, but through recognising our power in it.

Because although history shows that things have very slowly improved with time, when we oppose something, there is always an equal and opposite reaction coming; these are the natural swings.

𝓢𝓸 𝔀𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮 𝓭𝓸𝓮𝓼 𝓽𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓵𝓮𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓾𝓼, 𝓲𝓷 𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓼 𝓽𝓲𝓶𝓮 𝓸𝓯 𝓪𝓬𝓬𝓮𝓵𝓮𝓻𝓪𝓽𝓮𝓭 𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓰𝓮?

And ...

𝓗𝓸𝔀 𝓬𝓪𝓷 𝔀𝓮 𝓹𝓻𝓮𝓹𝓪𝓻𝓮 𝓯𝓸𝓻 𝔀𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓲𝓼 𝓽𝓸 𝓬𝓸𝓶𝓮, 𝓽𝓸 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓪 𝓫𝓮𝓽𝓽𝓮𝓻 𝓲𝓶𝓹𝓪𝓬𝓽 𝓲𝓷 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝔀𝓸𝓻𝓵𝓭?

I would offer only this: first, diligently tend to your own garden, because in doing so, we become better able to spot dysfunction and signs of collective disease within ourselves.

And in this way, if and when we find ourselves in a position of influence, we can attempt to make more discerning choices led by love, wisdom, and clarity: the highest good you can reach for all concerned, rather than an adapted or inherited worldview.

So what to do with darkness, then?

I would say, it is to see darkness, is simply a place devoid of light/love, a place within you or with out, that we have rejected or deemed unpalatable - and so it is, in bringing light back into all of your own inner places, that you see this light is available and can reach into all things.

Make no mistake, it is first an internal job, my friends.

As within, so without.

We most certainly cannot live from or teach what we ourselves have not understood or integrated. And when we really get this, we become humbled by it. A student in an ever-evolving, expanding story where we naturally come to see there are always greater a deeper layers to expand into more compassion and love and it becomes a joy to work with them - because even through the mud, we always become more.

In this way, we begin to see our inner work is the fruits of the ripples flooding outward like a collective contagion and so the question naturally becomes: what will be your offering, through the ripple you leave behind?

The beauty of 𝓘𝓶𝓹𝓮𝓻𝓶𝓪𝓷𝓮𝓷𝓬𝓮.

𝓘𝓶𝓹𝓮𝓻𝓶𝓪𝓷𝓮𝓷𝓬𝓮.

There is a type of peace that arises out of accepting the transient nature of all things. Much like the breath, every inhalation is followed by an exhalation, it cannot be otherwise.

To deny the natural flow of life is to deny life itself. The compulsion to cling or possess is akin to holding one’s metaphorical breath, suffocating the vitality of the moment.

Life’s impermanence invites us to embody gratitude and wonder. Nothing truly belongs to us; everything is merely borrowed for a time. Through our surrender we are able to reach into each moment more fully breathing it all the way in and all the way out, allowing it to move us, change us, and evolve us.

In this way, we come to realise that clinging arises out of our naivety and resistance to change. And in that resistance, we choose to suffer.

Yet there is another way… to LOVE deeply while holding lightly.

~ Jen

Being at cause

𝓒𝓸𝓷𝓿𝓮𝓻𝓼𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷𝓼 𝔀𝓲𝓽𝓱 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓤𝓷𝓲𝓿𝓮𝓻𝓼𝓮.

Many of life’s occurrences can feel random, yet more often than not, they are not random at all. Much of what we perceive as an unexpected “life quake” or even a “life tsunami” is the culmination of countless micro-actions, and energetic imprints accumulated over time. These actions, though sometimes subtle in their origins, inevitably converge, meeting us like a wave breaking upon the shore.

Whether we are aware of it or not, we exist within a universe governed by the immutable law of cause and effect. Every action, thought, or intention carries an energetic signature, creating ripples in the fabric of time. The energy we emit - whether through deeds, words, or the quiet currents of our inner world, are not lost; but mirrored back to us in equal measure.

This law operates not only in the immediate present but across the vast continuum of time. While we may not always perceive a direct link between a current circumstance and it’s origins, the energy at play often traces back far beyond recent events; sometimes to patterns, choices, or actions from long-forgotten moments or even lifetimes ago.

You see, Energy, by its very nature, is neither created nor destroyed it simply changes form. This fundamental principle, reveals the profound continuity and interconnectedness of all things.

The universe, in its infinite intelligence, holds a memory of all that has been set into motion. What may appear random or unexplainable in the present can often be the result of causes seeded in distant times. A perspective that challenges us to consider life’s events as not isolated occurrences but part of a far greater and intricately woven story - one where every experience offers an opportunity for awareness, growth, and evolution.

It calls on us to dig deep and review our inherent responsibility - not only for that which we set in motion but that which we experiences in turn as a result.

It reminds us that we are less likely to be passive victims of circumstance; rather, we are co-creators of our reality, whether we engage with this truth consciously or allow it to unfold unconsciously.

And far from a concept to Fear, is an invitation that points to the elegance of a much greater design, one that operates with a type of intelligence and purpose which invites us to grow, learn, and evolve.

It’s a profound opportunity to engage with life through a deep, embodied feeling experience, where our emotions, thoughts, and actions don’t govern us but are felt fully through conscious awareness. It is through this embodied presence that we can allow the intelligence to flow through us - to become a catalyst for growth, compassion, wisdom, and love—these sacred qualities are not abstract concepts but living forces that take root in the very fibers of our being, transforming how we respond to the world around and within us.

By embracing this knowing, we become better able to accept and navigate the shifting tides of life - whether it brings joy, sorrow, or something in between - as opposed to being swept away by it.

This understanding is not about detaching from life but instead remaining fully and deeply connected to it whilst accepting its infinite yet transient nature; allowing us to better embrace the full spectrum of this human experience with grace, clarity, and an openness.

In this way, we are have the opportunity to test out the many different flavours of love, the ways it can be brought to any situation, how it can move through us in ways that heal, create, and transform. Life, in its essence, becomes a playground for which love is not just a passive force but an active, engaging force, one that shapes our choices, guides our actions, and radiates outward in ways we may not always immediately recognise.

We begin to sense that something greater than our selves is experiencing itself through us -through the intricate, and at times harrowing, interplay of sorrow, joy, pain and ultimately healing. And through this experience we come to appreciate what it means to be fully human, to be conscious creators of our circumstances, and to feel the weight of our choices in a universe that honors free will.

Ultimately, through the great gift of being here on Earth, we get to experience the full breath of life, to grow, learn and evolve through the culmination of our energetic contributions. We are, after all, students in Earth’s school , and every experience whether challenging or joyful, is an invitation to grow into the highest expression of ourselves.

And we may choose to deny and resist this truth, and perceive ourselves as victims of external forces - to look at life as simply random events; or we can cultivate awareness and become more intentional with the energy we put out and and inevitably contribute to the world.

That choice is ours.

𝓑𝓮 𝓪𝓽 𝓬𝓪𝓾𝓼𝓮.

the simplicity of presence

𝓟𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓮𝓷𝓬𝓮.

There is a bittersweet ache that arises when we truly capture the feeling essence of a moment particularly in nature. The stark beauty of her presence reflects back the absence we often carry in moments dominated by distraction. We postpone being fully alive, waiting for holidays, weekends, or evenings to truly see and feel the world around us. But nature, in her quiet constancy, never waits. She simply is.

We need only sit and be to be reminded of her effortless way of existing, complex yet simple, strong yet yielding. In her presence, we are reminded not just of our interdependence but of our oneness with all life.

There is a peace in that knowing, a peace that dissolves the constant pursuit of “me and mine” which opens to the greater rhythm of life itself. Even if only for a fleeting moment, this awareness shifts something within us and reconnects us with our inherent nature, and capacity for unity, compassion and harmony.

Through nature, if we allow, is the opportunity to be guided back to our inner hearts. And from this place, our impact on the planet becomes softer, kinder, and more aligned with love.

A reminder to allow her all pervasive presence to become an invitation to Pause. Breathe and connect with world around us. There is so much to see and so much to remember through her.

The power of breath

𝓑𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓽𝓱𝓮.

Throughout the day, there are countless invitations to return to ourselves, to pause, breathe, and reconnect. A single breath, taken with intention, can become a direct doorway to the inner stillness available at the core of our being.

Each inhale has the power to invite and cultivate a sense of inner peace and safety no matter what is unfolding around us. And with each exhale comes the opportunity to consciously release that which has already been.

Simple, yet profoundly powerful.

For me, these moments are a sacred communion. A quiet, inward meeting with the life force that animates my body.

Within the stillness, a natural invitation to open and fully arrive inside of self.

It’s a chance to step beyond noise and distraction into deep receptivity, where inspiration, insight, and truth arise more effortlessly.

A unique opportunity to experience the essence of our own note, our own frequency.

We are, after all, part of the vast symphony (life) - have you ever stopped long enough to feel it?

In these moments, we get to release the need to 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚 and just 𝙗𝙚 - allowing our natural resonance, the current that we are, to seamlessly ripple outward.

In this way, we simply 𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙩𝙮 - something the best creators understand.

Creativity isn’t about filling ourselves up with what we already know, but about opening to new knowing.

𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓟𝓱𝔂𝓼𝓲𝓸𝓵𝓸𝓰𝔂 𝓸𝓯 𝓟𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓮𝓷𝓬𝓮

On a physiological level, conscious breathing is powerful. It naturally shifts us from overstimulation (fight-or-flight sympathetic state) into a state of rest (rest-and-digest parasympathetic state). With each breath, we activate the body’s natural intelligence, releasing a cascade of beneficial hormones that restore balance to our inner chemistry.

Within us is a powerful, self-regulating pharmacy - one that requires no external remedy to “feel better.”

When we turn inward, we not only trust but remember: the body knows how to harmonise, to heal, to realign. We need only create the space for it to do so.

Moments of mindfulness, especially in nature, are some of the most powerful ways to cultivate this connection. But presence doesn’t require a specific practice. It is always available to us and can be found in the simplest of moments.

For some, it’s in the quiet of a morning walk. For others, it’s tending a garden, gazing at the ocean, or feeling the warmth of the sun on their skin. I once knew someone who found this space while fishing - it was his meditation, his way of realigning, centering, and simply being.

It’s different for everyone. The key is to discover what brings you back to yourself.

Today, take a moment. Breathe deeply. Allow yourself to notice the life force moving through you and from within you. Notice the space between thoughts, and the stillness that is always there beneath the surface.

Let it be a moment of coming home.

As always - keep loving, shining brightly.

the sacred process of 𝓤𝓷𝓫𝓮𝓬𝓸𝓶𝓲𝓷𝓰.

We will all face moments of 𝓤𝓷𝓫𝓮𝓬𝓸𝓶𝓲𝓷𝓰.

Where the familiar begins to crumble,

where the edges of who you’ve been dissolve into something unrecognisable.

Where we can no longer see where we end and where we begin.

Where the path ahead is unlit, unclear and all we have is trust.

In these moments, we find ourselves burdened with two choices:

To willingly 𝓼𝓾𝓻𝓻𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓻…

Or to resist, clinging to hold life in place,

as if 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 could preserve us,

as if 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭 could protect us.

Yet deep in the 𝗽𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 is a knowing

that nothing in the natural world can remain unchanged.

Even a seed, safe within its shell, must surrender to cracking

open before it can take root.

It must then push through resistance to reach the light.

Not because it is defective.

But because it was always destined to 𝓾𝓷𝓫𝓮𝓬𝓸𝓶𝓮.

And so are 𝔂𝓸𝓾.

Our suffering was never a prerequisite for transformation.

It is only born of grasping, resisting, holding on

a final attempt to oppose a river that is already flowing.

Yet a river 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁.

A river 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱.

It can only be met

with the quiet knowing that life is always moving us forward,

even when we cannot yet see where it is taking us.

We can choose to drown in it

or to swim.

It was never meant to be perfect.

And not every moment was meant to be understood.

Life does not pause for us.

It is happening in all moments, through us, and all around us

whether we resist it or fight it.

Every soul we will ever encounter will stand at the edge of themselves,

feeling the weight of their own baggage and untruth.

We are not alone in the 𝘂𝗻𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴.

A journey we all take - one that was never meant to isolate us, but unite us.

Yet in our amnesia, we came to know ourselves as separate notes, scattered through time.

Believing we are not chords in the same symphony

where each note playing its part,

each sounding its key.

Deep within, we each carry the same longing to remember

what we were always meant to be.

We confused the journey with chasing happiness.

But the destination was always to 𝓪𝔀𝓪𝓴𝓮𝓷.

To remember the 𝓽𝓻𝓾𝓽𝓱

We thought that peace was found in commanding the tides,

rather than in our steadiness within them.

We thought it was found in perfection

not in our willingness to be 𝓹𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓮𝓷𝓽 for all of it

The messiness, the breaking, the mending, the undoing, the unbecoming.

All this time, we needed only to allow life itself to shape us.

move us, refine us, dissolve us,

until all that remains is the essence of what we truly are.

And in that essence…

We realise we have always been right here

We only needed the 𝓮𝔂𝓮𝓼 𝓽𝓸 𝓼𝓮𝓮.

So 𝓼𝓾𝓻𝓻𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓻.

Let the old fall away.

Let the fire burn.

Let the wave take what it must.

Not because you are broken.

Not because you are lost.

𝓑𝓾𝓽 𝓫𝓮𝓬𝓪𝓾𝓼𝓮 𝔀𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓻𝓮𝓶𝓪𝓲𝓷𝓼 𝓲𝓼

𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓽𝓻𝓾𝓽𝓱 𝓸𝓯 𝔀𝓱𝓸 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓽𝓻𝓾𝓵𝔂 𝓪𝓻𝓮.

It’s time to remember.

Keep loving & shining brightly.

why reclaim our feeling nature ?

“The heart feels what the eyes cannot see and knows what the mind cannot understand”

Developing and reclaiming our feeling nature gives us the capacity to detect truth energy and therefore sense what is and is not congruent with it.

We can begin to develop our intuition aka “feeling nature” by first acknowledging & recognising we are not our thoughts.

Over identification with thought is really a distraction and signpost of a much deeper disconnection with self & our higher identification/knowing, and even deeper than that a form of self-rejection.

Feelings are the eyes of the heart, when we are aligned to love and deeply connected to all that we are (the radiant soul) there is a knowing, a true north & internal compass.

So often in this life we are encouraged to think about everything, how often do you find yourself saying let me think about it” vs let me FEEL into it?

Perhaps it’s because we don’t trust the feeling nature, we may have confused feeling with identifying with our limiting beliefs and emotions - our very valid yet subjective experience, not to be confused with the truth.

There is a saying “if it’s not love, it’s not the truth” allow yourself for a moment to feel that.

If we really break it down, there are really only two frequencies - love or fear.

Our feeling nature gives us the capacity to FEEL truth energy (LOVE) and detect what is congruent with it and what is not.

From this awareness and knowing we are not only able to run this filter across our interactions with others/life itself but that of ourselves, to feel what is happening within our own experience, and get a sense of what we are feeling and experiencing beyond the words or perceived phenomena on the ground.

It’s not about judgment it’s a type of curiosity. What is that I’m feeling?

An opening/invitation to step in, a willingness to surrender to becoming self-aware. From here we can choose to actively clear out what is not us to connect with the greater essence that we are.

We are all energetic beings and just as the sugar in the water is, we may not see it, we simply experience it.

Why the truth will set you free but first it will shatter your illusions

The path to authenticity - to truly 𝓴𝓷𝓸𝔀 𝓽𝓱𝔂 𝓼𝓮𝓵𝓯 is more often than not forged through a transformational fire.

An alchemical process that can only begin to take place through our willingness to know and accept the truth.

Without truth there is stagnation. We cannot grow or learn.

To be an authentic and sovereign being is to know thy self. Which begins with our capacity to accept ourselves exactly as it is and exactly as we are.

In this way the Truth is directly linked in with our humility, we acknowledge both our strengths and shortcomings without projecting at it or judging it. We acknowledge how far we have come and how far we have to go, creating a steady foundation to truly grow, learn and evolve.

Through truth comes the opportunity to peel away the masks, false layers of self to uncover more of who and what we truly are.

We inevitably reveal the hidden jewels, gifts that lie within, and in this way we become linked in with more of who we truly are at the core.

Through truth comes the magnificent opportunity to shine our bright lights into the world giving permission for others to do the same.

It is therefore for the most part through our unbecoming that we inevitably become. We must not fear the fire .

Why work with a coach?

In my experience working with a coach/mentor is a deeply rewarding experience. One that offers an immensely supportive space to unravel & weed out self imposed limitations and limiting beliefs that we may or may not be conscious of.

It provides an opportunity to be held in a space of unconditional love and acceptance (something we often withhold for ourselves) where we are heard, and championed in reaching out brightest and clearest potential.

The best coaches, mentors and teachers I’ve come across have access to coaches,mentors and teachers a few steps ahead. Nobody is just there, we are in a constant state of evolution in the spirit of the cycles of growth and learning.

And certainly a key ingredient being led by ones who have forged the path ahead.

This life (Earth School) can be tricky, in many ways deeply challenging to forge alone. We may have limiting beliefs around it being safer to go at it alone (lone wolf syndrome) or the other swing, giving someone else the responsibility over our sovereignty, both unbalanced types of pendulum swings. At the core both about a deep lack of trust within self.

When you work with me, I’ll offer you a safe, judgment free space to review how life or aspects of your life are going for you. Creating an opening and opportunity to evaluate where there may be the necessity for new ways of thinking/being. The modalities and tools I offer are grounded and not only support and accelerate your personal growth but support you along your journey of self actualisation & evolution.

I truly believe each of us has the capacity to heal ourselves, we do not need to go to a “healer” for the answers, we are our own healers.

Everything you seek is within you. Let me show you the way.

why time WON'T heal all wounds.

We’ve all heard the saying “𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬” and I’m sure at some point or another experienced the relief that comes with “time”.

Yet, unless we are fully 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 our experiences, at a much deeper level those wounds often make a home deep inside our unconscious being. Showing up more often than not through our patterns & behaviours.

Experiencing being “𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝” can give you a direct line into an old wound. Even deeper than that, you may be able to get a sense for the self imposed “𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐟𝐬 and “𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬” we imposed upon ourselves and the world as a result of those experiences.

Most of the time these imprints appear dormant, yet behave more like energetic magnets, attracting in experiences that mirror the internal disharmony. Another consequence being, we tend to bring ourselves to life guarded and unable to greet our experiences or the world a-new, thus limiting our capacity to tune into the natural flows of life and who we truly are.

But what if we could 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞? rather than building a fortress around the wounded parts. What if we chose to invite and allow the full expression of all those feelings - all the way through?

What if our natural state was to experience all of it? The broad spectrum of this very human experience, the pain, pleasure and everything in-between.

How would it be to find 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 to do this, to fully participate in life and as a consequence move with the ebbs and flows of life in a limitless way. Where we are 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 and 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 all in one, and are able to cultivate a space of deep intimacy and authenticity within self.

Could you imagine such a place? a safe container to do this for ourselves.

If the potential excites you, I invite you to step in.

Why? 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐰!

respecting our phases.

Despite much of our conditioning, the cycles of growth and learning (evolution) is not linear, we will cycle and spiral through many deaths and rebirths throughout time. Few of us educated on the cycles of nature, the deterioration and regeneration witnessed across all of life, not much different to the grief and elation experienced through the process of alchemising wounds.

Many ancient civilisations understood the cyclical nature of things. Accepting & melding with its natural rhythms and flows, the wanes and waxes of the moon, the shedding and regenerating of all life, and winters that inevitably move into Spring. They understood that every ascent begins with a descent, this message encoded in ancient stories and mythologies.

In todays world many of us are obsessed with one directional ascension, be it through constant achievement and progress in the material world or spiritually through the denial of the murkiness in our inner worlds, wanting to ascend out of the human experience, it’s no wonder we have parts that feel lost, fearful, broken, unworthy, unlovable, and even insane when entering the initiation of descent. The irony being, much of our potential and wisdom is born our intimacy with our deepest pain.

Our ascension (experienced as descension - spirit into matter) does not happen through denying our wounding or intense emotions. It happens through meeting it. Through loving the most fragmented, broken, shattered pieces of ourselves back into wholeness to reveal our true nature. We come to know that much of our light lives in the depths of the avoided and denied parts and if our intentions are to liberate it, we will have to trade our comfort for courage to confront our densest most vulnerable places.

If you are entering a next cycle, take heed in knowing through each phase comes the opportunity for rebirth. That’s the nature of things, it’s simply how we evolve. We can choose to embrace it or fight against its natural currents.

The choice is always ours.
