A note from Lisa :

Get a Life! came to manifestation as a result of an intent I put out sometime ago. In order to bring it to fruition I have been on a long journey to Get a Life! You see, in order to bring Get a Life! to life... I had to wake up! That’s right, wake up! Maybe you’ve done it yourself, you’re drifting along through life, day after day, and showing up to life just as you did yesterday. Then it happens.... sometimes it’s a gentle nudge, a fleeting thought... “There must be more to life than this” or “Is this it? Is this all there is?” or for others it hits like a sledgehammer or demolition ball... shaking you to your very core. For me it was I guess a few nudges to begin with, but I simply didn’t listen, I kept on doing what I did in the same way I’d always done, thinking that’s just what you do. But when the universe calls to your spirit and you don’t listen, then it calls again and if you still don’t listen; as was the case in my journey, then its shouts at the top of it’s voice for you to wake up, my shout came in the form of severe post natal depression after the birth of my beautiful daughter Sarah, over 28 years ago, followed by M.E. (myalgic encephalomyelitis) Crazy but true...... It took a debilitating illness to make me wake up to my spirit’s call! Many years down the line, I have been on a long and life transforming journey of which I’m truly grateful, I might add. My journey has taken me through the wonders of complementary therapy, letting go of my old corporate career, developing my spirituality, a divorce, ups and downs and rounds and rounds, until I was ready to Get a Life! and in turn help others. Today, I’m wide awake, in perfect health, blissfully happy with myself, my life, the love of my life my husband Jon, my wonderful daughter Sarah( who has taught me so much and continues to do so), my loving family (now much extended to include Jon’s lovely girls Olivia and Rachel) and my wonderful friends.....I have become a very different human being to the old Lisa. I have evolved. Before I was all about “doing” now I’m about “Being” The gift I was given, my wake-up call, allowed me to follow my true calling. In order that I can now live on purpose. I Got a Life! I hope that this page may bring you great pleasure and allow you to wake-up gently, bringing your true spirit to light. Namaste Lisa x

Love this that I saw on Sarah Kemp 's post....

For three Thursdays in a row, something peculiar happened to me on my walk to work. I’d be trudging along, coffee in hand, mentally preparing for the day, when a man on a bicycle would glide past.
He wasn’t just any man. He was impeccably dressed in a vibrant, mismatched suit—think a purple blazer with green trousers. And as he passed, without slowing down, he would call out a single, hyper-specific compliment.
The first time, it was: “Astounding posture! You carry the weight of the world with remarkable spinal integrity!”
He was gone before I could even process it. I spent the rest of the day standing a little taller.
The second Thursday, I saw him coming. He locked eyes with me for a fraction of a second and declared: “A truly formidable coffee-cup grip! Unwavering!”
I looked down at my hand. I did, in fact, have a very secure hold on my latte.
The third time, I was ready. I saw the flash of color turning the corner. My heart beat a little faster. What would it be today? He cycled past, his voice clear as a bell: “Exquisite rhythm in your walking gait! A metronome of purpose!”
And he was gone.
I was, by now, completely invested. Who was this man? Why was he doing this? He wasn’t flirting—the compliments were too bizarre, too clinical, and he never stopped. He was like a wildlife commentator praising the unique traits of a passing animal.
I started to notice a pattern. He wasn't just targeting me. I saw him do it to others. He told a construction worker he had a "commanding and efficient whistle." He told a woman waiting for a bus that her "sigh contained multitudes." He was a Compliment Guerrilla, launching precision strikes of positivity before vanishing into the urban jungle.
Last Thursday, I saw him chain his bike up outside a nondescript office building. My curiosity got the better of me. I followed him inside, pretending to be on a phone call.
He walked into a small, dimly lit office with a frosted glass door. The plaque on the wall read: "Bureau of Overlooked Virtues - Appointments Encouraged, Walk-Ins Welcomed."
I pushed the door open. The man was sitting behind a desk, typing on an old typewriter. He looked up, not at all surprised to see me.
"Ah," he said. "The metronome. I wondered if you'd stop by."
"What... is this?" I asked, gesturing to the office.
He smiled warmly. "It's a regulatory body. We've identified a critical deficit in the recognition of minor, non-monetizable skills. The steadfast way someone holds an umbrella. The patience exhibited while a slow dog sniffs a lamppost. These are the virtues that hold society together, and they are going entirely unacknowledged."
"My job," he continued, "is field work. I gather data and distribute commendations. Would you like to file a report?"
He slid a form across the desk. It had fields like: "Observed Subject," "Time/Location," and "Virtue in Question (Please Be Specific)."
I stood there, stunned. Then I thought of my barista, who always places the cup lid on with a perfect, satisfying click. I thought of the security guard in my building who has a uniquely graceful way of pointing people toward the elevator.
I sat down and filled out three forms.
Now, I'm a field agent. I don't have a bike or a colorful suit yet, but I have a notepad. Yesterday, I told a stranger at the park that I admired the "authoritative yet compassionate way you threw that stick for your dog."
The look of confusion, followed by a slow-dawning, genuine smile, was better than any thank you.
The world is full of invisible experts, masters of tiny, perfect things. My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to see them. And to tell them.
Keep your ears open. You might get a commendation.

FULL MOON IN ARIES TAROT SPREAD — “THE FLAME OF COURAGE”
For the Full Supermoon in Aries – 7 October 2025, 03:47 BST (UK)

🌌 ASTROLOGICAL OVERVIEW

The Full Moon at 13°59′ Aries stands directly opposite the Sun in Libra — a fiery Supermoon that illuminates the classic axis of Self vs. Relationship, Courage vs. Compromise, and Independence vs. Harmony.

Key planetary influences:

Saturn retrograde in Pisces (7°) — adds a reflective, boundary-focused undertone. This is about emotional maturity and spiritual responsibility, not heavy restriction.

Jupiter retrograde in Cancer (27°) — forms a square to the Moon, creating emotional intensity and a push-pull between safety (Cancer) and bold action (Aries). Growth comes through finding emotional courage.

Uranus retrograde in Gemini (1°) — brings a wide but stimulating sextile to the Moon, adding sparks of insight, unexpected conversations, and flashes of liberation.

Mercury in Scorpio (8°) — sharpens perceptions and encourages deeper, more truthful communication.

Mars in Scorpio (14°) — intense, focused drive. This energy runs deep — passion, hidden motives, or shadow impulses can emerge.

This is a powerful lunation for brave honesty, cutting through indecision, and stepping forward from the heart with conviction. Old emotional safety nets may be tested — but breakthroughs await if you trust your instincts and speak your truth.

‐--------------------------------------
TAROT SPREAD: “THE FLAME OF COURAGE”

→ The liberating shift, conversation, or spark of genius that sets you free.

6️⃣ The Flame Within — My power to lead and inspire

→ Your radiance after integrating this moon’s lessons. What inner fire wants to shine brighter?

Storytelling for October 2025 - Here we go again
And from the universal comms team a song by Stakka Bo “Here we go"

https://youtu.be/sGNK-cOtxSs?si=Ih6mt1gS9eKqVOul

The lyrics hit like a knowing wink from the Universe. October arrives with that cheeky beat, part playful, part prophetic, reminding us that some cycles are so familiar we can almost feel them before they unfold.

This isn’t a brand-new song. It’s a remix of a theme we’ve danced through before ( Think 2020) : the temptation to stay bound (The Devil), the inevitable shake-up that breaks the illusion ( The Tower) and the quiet truth waiting behind the veil (The High Priestess).

The rhythm of this month is karmic and undeniable. The opening bars whisper, “Pay attention, you know this pattern.”

Saturn in Aries is demanding personal responsibility, Pluto in Aquarius is still peeling back layers of collective illusion, and eclipse season? It’s about to hit play on fate’s next track.

The invitation is simple but powerful:
* Notice the hook
* Don’t fear the lightning.
* Trust what you already know.

This time, we don’t have to dance the same steps. The music may be familiar, but we’ve changed and so has the way we move forwards.

Let's take a look at this month's cards:

First out from the major arcana we have 15 The Devil. Look at his soulful Gaze, luring us in, weaving his magic, temptation, seducing us to believe his story.He wants us for his puppet... look at the figure held by his strings in the image , head in hands ... how did he fall for it again? Controlled by the devil, pulling his strings, he has no freedom ( he even appears to be wearing a face mask ... a nod back to the last time the controls were tested perhaps). The Devil reaches out with his left hand... suggesting he's playing with our emotions to gain our trust and compliance to his will.

The Devil’s pentagram on his chest in this card often appears inverted or stylised to reflect entrapment in material or ego-driven cycles, illusions of power, or unconscious bindings that keep us from spiritual freedom.

Yet the card is filled with turquoise colours, symbolising the higher heart chakra, spiritual growth and change.

The Higher Heart sits between the Heart (Anahata) and Throat (Vishuddha) chakras, roughly in the upper chest area near the thymus gland.

Physically, it’s connected to the thymus, which governs immunity and vitality, reflecting it's role as a spiritual immune system.

The Higher Heart chakra is where the soul whispers through love.
It’s the key to forgiving, healing and radiating compassion.... not as a performance, but as your natural state when your heart and soul are united.

The Choice is ours... can we remain immune to the egoic control being suggested to us ... is it truly for the greater good or is it simply a desire for control and restriction ?
( how apt we're being presented with the " Here we go again"... what will we choose this time ?

The 1 in 15 ... connects us to The Magician... we have all of the resources we need to create alchemy... as long as we aren't hoodwinked by the slight of hand from the shadow energy from this archetype.

The 5 in the 15 connects us with The Heirophant... The Hierophant in its highest expression is the wise teacher, spiritual bridge, and guardian of sacred knowledge.

In its shadow, the Hierophant can become rigid, dogmatic, or controlling, prioritising structure over spirit.

Which brings us to the 1+ 5= 6 The Lovers.

The Lovers (6) represents harmony, meaningful connections and conscious choices when aligned with your heart, but can bring confusion, temptation, or imbalance when decisions are avoided or values ignored.

Let's move on to our second card for October, another major arcana card:16 The Tower.

Sudden unexpected change snd a moment of Enlightenment... "the walls come tumbling down" is the phrase that comes to mind.

The Tower is stuck by lightening (a tree being felled in this depiction) The squirrel didn't see this transformation coming. Everything is coming crashing down around him.

The fork lightening itself brings very interesting symbolism:

Sudden Insight or Awakening: Like a bolt from the blue, it can represent a flash of spiritual truth, revelation, or divine inspiration.

Transformation & Power: Lightning breaks through, clearing old patterns, energising change and igniting personal transformation.

Divine Intervention: Often seen as a message from higher powers or the universe, an energetic nudge to pay attention or act.

Duality & Choice: The forked shape suggests branching paths, decisions, or the balance of opposing forces (light/dark, creation/destruction).

Purification: Lightning’s destructive aspect can symbolise clearing away negativity or illusions, leaving only truth and clarity.

Essence: Forked lightning is a catalyst for awakening, transformation and spiritual clarity, urging decisive action aligned with higher truth.

Again we see lots of turquoise in this card ,a repeating message.

1 in the 16 linking us right back to the choices we have with The Magician.

The 6 in the 16, repeating the message if The Lovers.

1 + 6 = 7 Linking us to 7 The Chariot. The Chariot symbolises determination, focus and triumph through willpower when harnessed positively, but can manifest as aggression, stubbornness, or loss of control when misaligned.

Finally our last card out for October is yet another majority arcana card, 2 The High Priestess.

Yet more turquoise... could this message be any stronger?

The magenta pink symbolising divine wisdom in action, this Priestess channels spiritual wisdom. She sees beyond the material into the spiritual truth.

The High Priestess links us to the Myth of Persephone.

Persephone, daughter of Demeter (goddess of the harvest), was abducted by Hades and taken to the Underworld.

Her mother’s grief caused the earth to wither, leading to famine. Eventually, a compromise allowed Persephone to spend part of the year above ground (spring/summer) and part below (autumn/winter). This myth represents cycles of death and rebirth, hidden knowledge and the interplay between light and shadow.

Connection to The High Priestess:

The High Priestess guards hidden knowledge, just as Persephone learns and embodies the mysteries of life, death and transformation in the Underworld.

Both symbolise realms beyond ordinary perception, Persephone in the Underworld, the High Priestess in her veil between the conscious and unconscious.

Persephone becomes more than a victim; she emerges empowered, aware and connected to deeper truths, reflecting the High Priestess’s mastery of hidden forces.

We're being asked to use our discernment, what is really going on ? Will we become victim ?
Or will we make a different choice?

The High Priestess represents intuition, hidden knowledge and spiritual insight when aligned, but can manifest as secrecy, indecision, or emotional withdrawal when her energy is not harnessed.

Summary:
We’re back on familiar ground: temptation and illusion (The Devil), sudden awakenings (The Tower) and quiet truths behind the veil (The High Priestess).

The cards are speaking in turquoise whispers: higher heart, spiritual growth, discernment.

The Devil tempts, but choice is ours, will we remain bound or rise with awareness?

The Tower’s forked lightning clears old patterns, bringing transformation and clarity.

And finally, The High Priestess, echoing Persephone’s journey, asks us to step into hidden wisdom, cycles of life and death and our own inner power.

Trust your intuition, notice the patterns and don’t fear the lightning, this month is about conscious choices, spiritual insight and moving forward differently this time.

Lammas Tarot Spread: The First Harvest
Introduction:

Lammas (or Lughnasadh), celebrated on the 1st August, marks the first harvest of the year and honours the abundance of nature, the fruits of our labour and the cycles of giving and receiving. It’s a time when we begin to see what’s ripening in our lives; both literally and metaphorically.

This festival invites gratitude, release and intention-setting. As the sun begins to wane, we reflect on our efforts since Imbolc and Beltane. What have we planted? What are we harvesting? What still needs tending?

We honour the grain; symbol of nourishment, transformation and sacrifice, as it is cut down to give life. Lammas reminds us that there is beauty in both growth and surrender and that everything has its season.

Take time to ground yourself, perhaps using a wheat stalk, a crystal like citrine or carnelian, or by lighting a golden or orange candle. Breathe in the rich, earthy energy of late summer before laying your cards.

The Lammas Spread: “Reap, Reflect, Renew”
Lay your cards in a crescent or spiral, reflecting the wheel of the year turning.

1. What am I harvesting now?
The fruits of your labour; what’s come to fruition in your life since the start of the year?

2. What has required sacrifice or hard work?
Recognise the effort, the struggles, or the pieces of yourself you’ve poured into your journey.

3. What nourishment do I need at this time?
What will replenish and sustain you as the seasons begin to shift?

4. What abundance am I invited to celebrate and share?
Look to what you can offer others; your skills, wisdom, joy, or tangible support.

5. What do I need to release before the next harvest?
Let go of what no longer serves, to make space for the fullness of the season to come.

Feel free to share your spread and insights.

Storytelling for the collective - August 2025.

Temptation.

And from the universal comms team a song by the same name. "Temptation " by Heaven 17.

https://youtu.be/hKi7Wq5CUI4?si=B-jfZk9yR1Lkxyoh

Let's take a look at the lyrics and see what message they may hold:

"I've never been closer,
I've tried to understand.
That certain feeling
Carved by another's hand.

But it's too late to hesitate, we can't keep on living like this.
Leave no track.
Don't look back.
All I desire (temptation)
Keep climbing, higher, and higher (temptation)
Adorable creatures (temptation)
With unacceptable features (temptation)
Trouble is coming (temptation)
It's just the high cost of loving (temptation)
You can take it, or leave it (temptation)
But you'd better believe it.

You've got to make me an offer, that cannot be ignored.
So let's head for home now, everything I have is yours, oh
Step by step, and day by day, every second counts, I can't break away.

Leave no trace.
Hide your face.
All I desire (temptation)
Keep climbing higher, and higher (temptation)
You can take it or leave it (temptation)
But you'd better believe it.
Step by step
And day by day, every second counts,
I can't break away.

Keep us from temptation
Keep us from temptation
Keep us from temptation
Lead us not into temptation, oh
Trying to find it (temptation)
You've got to get up behind it (temptation)
Put your dime in the hot slot (temptation)
But it's a million to one shot (temptation)
You think that you're right now (temptation)
You're gonna face it tonight now (temptation), oh
Give me a breakdown (temptation)
Because it's time for a shakedown.

Temptation
Temptation
Temptation (temptation)
Temptation
Temptation (temptation)
Temptation
Temptation (temptation)
Temptation
It's just temptation (trying to find me)
Temptation (get up behind it)
Temptation (dime in the hot slot)
Temptation (million to one shot)
Temptation (that you're right now)
Temptation (gonna face it tonight now)
Temptation (give me a breakdown)
Temptation (it's time for a shakedown)".

If you follow any social media, especially Tiktok or X , you'll no doubt see We’re close to a tipping point, on so many fronts “I’ve never been closer.”

Temptation (and frustration) is rising; in politics, tech, consumerism, climate debates and power play is rife.

"We can’t keep living like this" the status quo is unsustainable. So many people are shouting to be heard, protests on so many fronts are taking place, not only in the UK but in many other places around the World.

Discernment is non-negotiable now “You can take it or leave it, but you’d better believe it.” It's a soulful echo of a collective test of integrity.

Let's take a look at our cards:

First out from the major arcana, 15. The Devil.

Temptation Exposed.

The Devil card always brings shadow work to the surface, the kind that demands to be seen. For August, this is a call to collectively confront:

The ways we are chained by consumerism, addiction to power, media narratives and false idols.

The illusion of freedom when we're actually bound by invisible contracts, financially, emotionally and ideologically.

The charismatic or seductive figures offering deals that seem irresistible, yet come at a soul cost.

We see The Devil as puppet master: Manipulation, disempowerment, control by consent.

The Devil isn’t forcing... he’s offering. His hand is open, seductive, even beautiful. That’s the trick. The control doesn’t come through violence, it comes through choice, through temptation, through offering what we already desire.

The puppet figure:

Covers their ears, symbolising willful ignorance, overwhelm, or refusal to hear what's really going on.

The puppeted figure hangs limp, as if life force, sovereignty, or power has been outsourced to another authority.

He is held by strings, revealing the subtle ways we are manipulated: by media, systems, addiction, fear, desire for approval or success.

This is the moment the song refers to: “Lead us not into temptation.”

The figures covered ears: The refusal to listen or awaken.
Spiritually, the act of covering the ears is profound:

“I don’t want to know.”
“It’s too much.”
“Let me stay in the illusion.”

This mirrors collective behaviour around uncomfortable truths; be it political, environmental, technological, or personal.

It echoes the line from the song:

“We can’t keep on living like this.”

But many are still trying to, numbing out, avoiding, clinging to comfort.

This moment is a choice point.

In the UK/world context: expect more revelations around corruption, manipulation and seductive distractions, a real-time “shakedown.” The chorus from the song says it all: “Adorable creatures with unacceptable features.” It’s the archetype of the smiling devil in a suit or the tempting quick fix.

We must challenge ourselves to ask where are we still seduced by the easy path, the comfortable lie, or the shiny distraction?

Next out is the King of Swords ( Swords being of the air element and of thought, mind and intellect)

Discernment is Power.
This King is cool, strategic and fiercely honest. Amid chaos or seduction, he sees through illusion. His presence reminds us:

Clarity is your sword. Detachment and logic are needed more than ever, turn off the MSM news, question everything.

Wise, ethical leadership is being demanded.

Truth needs to be spoken, but not shouted. There is precision in peaceful stillness.

In the card we see several animal messengers:

Owl: The seer of the dark.
Symbolism: Wisdom, truth-seeking, intuition and seeing what others miss, especially in the dark.

The Owl reminds us that real wisdom is often earned in the shadows. In the presence of The Devil card, the Owl says:

“I see what’s hidden, even when cloaked in charm.”

It invites us to trust our inner knowing when logic alone can’t reveal the whole picture.

It also warns of deception, both external and self-created.

Trust your gut. Something may be dressed as truth but rooted in control or seduction. Ask what is being hidden behind the image.

Bat: Death, rebirth and radical transformation.

Symbolism: The liminal, the unseen, shadow work, endings and rebirth, facing fear.

The Bat appears as a totem of transformation; not just personal, but systemic. Its echolocation speaks of navigating through vibration, not sight, sensing what’s true even when blinded by illusion.

Paired with The Devil and the lyrics from Temptation, the Bat says:

“You must go into the dark to rebirth something new.”

August is a threshold, a collective initiation that cannot be skipped.

Let what needs to die, die; be it belief, leader, system, or false self. Only then can truth soar.

Dragonfly: Light, Illusion, and multidimensional vision.

Symbolism: Illusion vs. reality, lightness of being, emotional insight, rapid change.

Dragonflies live both in water (emotions) and air (intellect), making them sacred messengers of emotional truth and spiritual agility.

Their iridescence speaks to the many sides of truth, reminding us not to cling to black-and-white thinking.

Everything may not be as it seems. Stay light, stay fluid and let your perspective shift with grace. Clarity will come through a combination of heart and intellect.

Raven: Prophecy, magic and the void.

Symbolism: Messenger between worlds, mystery, prophecy, divine timing, truth-telling.

The Raven perched near the King of Swords anchors the whole spread. It is the bridge between shadow and sovereignty, a watcher of the cosmic dance.

It brings omens and whispers from the unseen.

It represents truth spoken at the right moment, often in ways that disrupt comfort.

A deeper prophecy is unfolding, trust the signs. Stay alert. Use your voice with discernment and power. What you speak now has ripple effects.

Collectively: we are being asked to cut through propaganda, misinformation and confusion.

The world stage may feature more voices of reason....or calls for accountability from those previously silenced. Watch for truth-bringers, whistleblowers, or even AI/tech being used to expose or clarify.

We must ask ourselves, where can we speak the truth, hold steady when all around us may feel chaotic and lead with clarity.....even when it's unpopular.

Our final card for August is the Six of Wands (wands representative of the fire element and action).

Public victory, or performative parade?
Again we have a need to be discerning.

This is a card of recognition, success and public validation. It brings:

A desire to be seen and celebrated after hard-fought battles.

The tension between genuine success vs. performative optics.... (watch out for falsehoods)

Collective yearning for hope, heroes and proof that the truth does in fact triumph.

We see 'Super Trouper' spotlights: Illumination, recognition, revelation.

These dramatic beams of light do more than celebrate, they expose. They create a stage. They bring what was in shadow (The Devil) into full visibility. They highlight who or what is being elevated, for better or worse.

They appear to shine on the victor ....but maybe we should be asking: Who chose them? And why?

Spiritually, this light burns away illusion. You can't hide under Super Trouper beams.

It echoes the line from the song: “You’d better believe it.” There’s no more pretending.

This month, public recognition will come, but it may come with exposure, scrutiny, or truth-telling. What we cheer for must be deeply true, not just dazzling.

The laurel wreath on the Wand: Victory, triumph, achievement.

The laurel wreath is the classic symbol of heroic success, once worn by warriors, poets and emperors. But paired with The Devil and Temptation, the question arises:

Is this earned success or a performative win?

Is it a genuine triumph or a distraction from deeper truths?

August will celebrate leaders or victories, but we must ask: is this soul-led success, or seductive optics? Are we applauding real change or charismatic manipulation?

The woman is wearing a sheer blouse: Vulnerability, exposure, Illusion of transparency.

This is such a symbolic detail. The blouse is delicate, transparent, revealing, but also styled and intentional. It’s not nakedness, it’s curated exposure.

On one hand, she appears vulnerable, open, “see-through.”

On the other, it’s controlled exposure, designed to appear authentic, yet filtered.

It's the spiritual tension of performative authenticity, a massive theme in both politics and leadership right now.

The sheer blouse mirrors:
Politicians, influencers, or leaders showing just enough transparency to gain trust, while hiding deeper motives.

The temptation of being seen, not for who we are, but who we perform to be.

The risk of vulnerability in the public eye, real truth-tellers must be willing to be seen without the veil.

This is a month where ‘visibility’ is both a power and a risk. Be cautious of appearances. True leadership will not hide behind the illusion of openness. It will be embodied.

What would it mean to be victorious on our own terms? Who are we when no one is clapping?

In a global sense, this could reflect protests being seen, voices being uplifted, or a movement gaining momentum. But paired with The Devil, there's also a warning: Be careful who you crown. Some victories are hollow.

August brings a showdown between illusion and truth, between manipulation and discernment, between hollow victory and soul-earned success.

“It’s time for a shakedown.”
The curtain is lifting. Choose wisely who you follow. And remember, temptation always comes wrapped in something you want.

25/07/2025

The Day Out of Time, July 25th.

A beautiful sacred pause in the fabric of time.
A cosmic exhale.
A soul sanctuary.

Most people don’t know that July 25th holds deep spiritual significance, especially within the Mayan and Galactic calendars. According to this ancient and intuitive system, 24th July marks the end of the year and 26th July begins the new one. The day between (July 25th)is known as "The Day Out of Time."

This isn’t just a poetic phrase. This day is energetically powerful.

It’s not ruled by the push and pull of linear time. It doesn’t belong to the old and it’s not yet the new. It’s a threshold, a liminal space, perfect for deep healing, letting go and spiritual renewal.

Imagine it as a cosmic reset button.
A deep soul breath.
A day where time unhooks its grip and invites us to explore old stories, stale energy, limiting beliefs and let them go, gently and powerfully.

Energetically, this day acts as a Sanctuary. A chance to:
Rest
Reflect
Release what no longer serves
Receive divine downloads and deeper insight

Some people feel heightened intuition. Others may notice emotional waves, energy fatigue, or bursts of creativity. You might even experience time speeding up or slowing down. All part of this magical reset.

Possible “Day Out of Time” experiences include:

Deep meditative states

Emotional healing or release

Seeing old patterns clearly

A sense of lightness or peace

Fatigue or spiritual downloads

Insights, synchronicities and revelations

A feeling of being in a dream or timeless void

And a big old energetic cleanse of limiting beliefs...

This is your invitation to step out of the noise for just one day.
To create space for soul whispers.
To honour what’s been and open up to what’s to come.

What would it look like for you to gift yourself this Day Out of Time?

Let me know how you're planning to spend it.
Or if you’ve felt the shift already... I’m here for the magic.
