If you’re like me the festive season can be a bit much socially. Remember that it’s ok if you don’t want to go to a party or if you want to leave early. Do what is best for your own mental health because you are the most important person to you.

SOLSTICE BLESSINGS

As the Solstice approaches, your subtle energy is drawn ever inward.

You are asked to bring your awareness to the time around the Solstice on the 21st December, and to notice how your mind, heart and body are feeling. This has been a year of rapid deepening into spiritual connection and expansion. You may be tired, and in need of time to process your experiences.

The Solstice is a portal of light and there are sacred messages contained therein. These intuitive messages are sent to your heart, for it is your heart that understands and 'de-codes' intuitive wisdom, not your logical mind.

As we speak of the Solstice energy, and begin to feel into it right now, you may receive a message from your body, emotions or spirit. Whatever you feel right now, in this moment, can be a signal from your higher senses as to what it is that the Universe most wishes you to recognise around this time of special sacred significance - the Solstice.

The Solstice is asking you to go deeper within yourself and your Being. The Solstice is an amplified voice of the Divine; to you, through you and for you. You know what you need most, and you know what you are preparing for next year.

In the upcoming twelve months, there is a great need for those who are connected to rekindling divine feminine forces of consciousness to come to the fore. This most likely means that your divine energy and innate spiritual power will be called upon.

This year, you may have uncovered some parts of your Self that have been clouding, denying or even sabotaging the immense beauty and truth of your Divine Essence. These parts of your Self that threaten you with fear and doubt about your ability to be your most expanded, exalted Self require enormous love and understanding.

These parts of you are in trauma, and are simply reacting without consciousness that you are in an unlimited and unparalleled time of healing ancient wounds on your Soul.

The good thing is that you don't need to get to some distant place of resolution and 'perfection' in order to begin or continue sharing your unique Divine Essence to others. This is where your fears will constantly trip you up: they will convince you that you must not continue on this path of growth, because it brings up old pain that is too difficult to confront and will most likely crucify you.

Many people mistakenly go back into denial and close off from their own healing and evolving processes at the points when their Souls bring them to having to face their pain. This is ego-sabotage, because it is through facing unhealed, calcified emotions about how painful it is not to be in true, divinely-guided energetic power that creates breakthroughs which catapult the Soul into new spiritual territory.

You have most likely been brought to face some old emotional pain or denial related to showing your Self in the world during this past year.
This is all part of the process, and it takes time. It will keep on happening over and over again: you'll take steps into a deeper relationship with your divine Self and into the role that Spirit has carved out for you in this lifetime.

You'll find enormous fears rising each step of the way, as well as a sense of inexplicable, unspeakable alignment and flow that all is exactly as it is meant to be.

Your challenge is to know that the journey is a continuance and a constantly evolving spiral. It is not a straight line with a fixed outcome; you will not ever feel like you are totally ready; you will not get to a point when everything feels perfect, resolved, fear-free or completely stable.

You are remembering, as a continually-unfolding flower, as a fluid body of water, as gently unearthing treasure - that you are created from the Body of A Goddess.

Everything that is bringing you to this pure consciousness is perfect. Every relationship, every perceived failure, every encounter with old pain, every memory of greatness, every trembling touch with true love, every dream and vision of radiance and harmony, every intuitive knowing of who you really are and what you are here to be.....it is perfectly on time and purposeful.

This Solstice, the Goddess will speak to you and whisper truths about how your body will merge with Her Body now, and in the coming year. She so often speaks through your own physical feelings, emotions and spiritual yearnings.

She so often speaks to you through bringing life events which invite you to practice acceptance, responsibility and perseverance.
She so often speaks the loudest when She is insistent that you stop and listen.

There will be messages delivered about how your beautiful vessel of Light will be used next year to synergise with her long-abandoned and forgotten body of magic - and how you will demonstrate that synergy through both sparkling and prosaic means, and without holding back in fear - to the universe.

A gentle reminder about why you are utterly exhausted…

No one I know began this year on a full tank. Given the vicious onslaught of the previous two years (let’s just call it what it was) most of us dragged ourselves across the finish line of 2021… frazzled, spent, running on aged adrenaline fumes…

We crawled into 2022 still carrying shock, trauma, grief, heaviness, disbelief… The memories of a surreal existence…
And then it began… The fastest hurricane year we could ever have imagined. Whether we have consciously processed it or not, this has been a year of more pressure, more stress, and a race to “catch up” in all departments… Every. Single. One. Work, school, sports, relationships, life…

Though not intentionally aware, perhaps hopeful that the busier we are, the more readily we will forget… the more easily we will undo the emotional tangle… the more permanently we will wipe away the scarring wounds…
We can’t.

And attempts to re-create some semblance of “normal” on steroids while disregarding that for almost two years our sympathetic nervous systems were on full alert, has left our collective mental health in tatters. Our children and teens are not exempt. The natural byproduct of fighting a hurricane is complete and utter exhaustion…

So before you begin questioning the absolutely depleted and wrung-dry state you are in- Pause. Breathe. Remind yourself of who you are and what you have endured. And then remind yourself of what you have overcome.
Despite it all, you’re still going. (Even on the days you stumble and find yourself face down in a pile of dirt).
Understanding brings compassion…

Most of the world’s citizens are in need of a little extra TLC at the moment. Most are donning invisible “Handle with care” posters around their necks and “Fragile” tattoos on their bodies…
Instead of racing to the finish line of this year, tread gently. Go slowly.

Amidst the chaos, find small pockets of silence. Find compassion. Allow the healing. And most of all… Be kind. There’s no human being on earth who couldn’t use just a little bit more of the healing salve of kindness.

With love ♥️
