Advice from My Future Self

Cherish the stillness, cherish the peace,
Leave behind what will not release.
When fragments scatter, stories unfold,
In broken pieces, the truth is told.

Those who speak with words unkind
Reveal the mirrors of their mind.
Their harshest tones, their sharpest breath,
Reflect their struggles with self-worth’s depth.

For truth wears neither mask nor crown,
It lifts you up, yet brings you down.
No happy ending need be spun,
But freedom’s gift is second to none.

The hollow cost of worth misplaced
Is the dearest price one ever faced.
To know thyself, the greatest art,
A treasure richer than wealth can impart.

So rise in flight when spirit is high,
Unite with all that sings nearby.
Walk the path where visions start,
And let harmony dwell within your heart. 💖

🙏🏽Consciousness Beyond Death: Science, Spirit, and the Interconnectedness of All Life 💫

In the vast expanse of human history, few questions have stirred the heart more deeply than: What happens when we die? Across traditions, philosophies, and scientific inquiry, people have searched for answers. Today, quantum physics and the theory of biocentrism, introduced by Dr Robert Lanza, invite us to see death not as an ending but as an unfolding doorway into deeper truths about consciousness and existence.

Lanza proposes that death may be an illusion, that consciousness is not extinguished but continues—flowing seamlessly beyond physical form. Through the lens of quantum physics, reality itself becomes not an objective, external construct, but something shaped and sustained by our awareness. In this view, our lives are not linear journeys toward an inevitable end, but part of an eternal dance across infinite universes.

Yet this scientific insight is not entirely new. Many spiritual traditions across the world have long carried wisdom that resonates with these discoveries.

Consciousness as the Living Thread 🕸️

Biocentrism suggests that consciousness is not confined to the body, but instead is the very fabric of reality itself. Our thoughts, perceptions, and beliefs shape the world we experience. This perspective resonates with the timeless teachings of the great faiths:
• Christianity reminds us that eternal life is not bound by earthly form. Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:21), pointing to a divine consciousness that transcends death. Eternal life, then, is not a distant promise but the reality of Spirit already present within us.
• Buddhism teaches of impermanence and rebirth, where consciousness continues its journey beyond physical form. The Buddha spoke of life as a stream—ever-flowing, transforming, yet never lost. This mirrors the quantum view that death dissolves the illusion of separation, allowing consciousness to continue beyond time and space.
• Hinduism speaks of Atman, the eternal soul, which is one with Brahman, the infinite source of all. The Bhagavad Gita assures us: “The soul is neither born, and nor does it die.” Here, science and scripture meet—consciousness is not destroyed, but transitions, reshaping the dance of existence.
• Islam emphasises that the soul (ruh) belongs to God and returns to Him. The Qur’an says: “It is Allah who takes away the souls at the time of their death, and those that die not during their sleep” (39:42). This reflects the continuity of the soul beyond the body, echoing Lanza’s idea that consciousness is never extinguished, only transformed.

These sacred perspectives, woven with the threads of science, suggest that we are more than our bodies—we are timeless participants in the cosmic unfolding of life.

The Interconnectedness of All Being 🌈

If consciousness is energy, and energy cannot be destroyed, then we are eternally connected—to one another, to Mother Nature, and to the universe itself. This interconnectedness is reflected in both physics and faith.

Quantum theory tells us that particles remain entangled across vast distances, influencing one another instantaneously. In the same way, our actions, thoughts, and love ripple through the web of existence.

African spirituality affirms this beautifully. Time is not seen as linear, but as cyclical. Many African traditions teach that the only future belongs in the past, for we cannot know what has not yet occurred. Instead, the future reveals itself by returning to ancestral wisdom, by walking the spirals of life where past and present entwine. In this way, the cycles of birth, death, and rebirth are not endpoints, but vortexes of becoming, leading us back to the wisdom of the ancestors. The knowledge we carry into the modern world, when combined with their guidance, becomes the only true future.

This cyclical view finds harmony with Native American Indigenous traditions, which speak of walking gently upon the Earth, honouring the ancestors, and preserving balance with the land. The Lakota, for instance, speak of Mitákuye Oyás’iŋ—“all my relations”—a recognition that every tree, stone, river, and creature is kin.

Closer to home, the land traditions of Eastern Europe and the British Isles echo the same truth: that the soil itself holds memory, and herbs, roots, and plants are not merely nourishment but medicine for the soul. Ancient Druids, Slavic healers, and Celtic wisdom-keepers knew the land as alive, woven with spirit.

In Tibet, the Shaolin monks developed a culture rooted in the preservation of mind, body, and spirit. They understood that true harmony arises when we cultivate inner strength while remaining connected to the Earth, drawing nutrition from the land, herbs from the mountains, and wisdom from silence. Like African and Native teachings, Shaolin practice insists that consciousness is not separate from the Earth beneath our feet.

These diverse traditions remind us that our journey from one place to another—whether across lifetimes or across landscapes—is always a discovery of consciousness, enriched by the land we inhabit, the food we gather from it, and the wonder with which we walk upon it.

Living the Quantum-Spiritual Perspective 💟

If death is not the end, how might we live differently? The wisdom of both science and spirit offers us practical insights:
1. Live Mindfully – Embrace each moment fully, as consciousness unfolds across infinite possibilities.
2. Embrace Change – See change not as loss, but as transformation.
3. Cultivate Compassion – Recognise our shared essence across all beings.
4. Shape Reality with Intention – Our beliefs and thoughts create the world we live in.
5. Seek Purpose – Align with the soul’s calling, not just material striving.
6. Honour Interconnectedness – Protect Mother Earth, knowing we are not separate from her but part of her living body.
7. Transcend Fear of Death – See death not as an ending, but as a sacred passage.

A Loving Conclusion 🙏🏽

As science stretches its reach into the mysteries of life and death, and as spiritual traditions remind us of truths carried for millennia, we begin to see a profound unity: consciousness is eternal, existence is interconnected, and death is but a doorway.

The African understanding that the only future lies in the past teaches us that the wisdom of the ancestors is the map we need in the present moment. The Native American reminder that all life is related calls us to walk in balance. The Celtic, Slavic, and British traditions remind us to draw strength from the land. The Shaolin monks remind us to preserve the sacred balance of mind, body, and spirit.

In all these ways, the human story comes together into one great truth: we are here to live with love, compassion, and reverence—for ourselves, for one another, for Mother Earth, and for the cosmos that breathes through us.

Perhaps the deepest truth is this: we are not bound by time. The future does not exist as we imagine, but unfolds through cycles of past and present, spiralling us back into wisdom, forward into discovery, and deeper into love.

In this awareness, fear dissolves, and harmony is born. Consciousness is not something we have—it is what we are. And in that knowing, we find freedom, peace, and the eternal embrace of the One Life that holds us all.

⸻

✨ May we walk gently in this truth, harmonising with the infinite, awakening to the love that is our birthright, and living with wonder and curiosity as we rediscover ourselves in the land, in the ancestors, and in the stars.✨

🌌✨ Kaleidoscope Energy Over the UK — The Perseid Meteor Shower ✨🌌

Tonight, the heavens above the United Kingdom will burst into a kaleidoscope of light as the Perseid meteor shower reaches its peak. This dazzling display comes from the debris of Comet Swift–Tuttle, burning through our skies at breathtaking speed — and this year, its energy is centred right here over the UK, much like the recent eclipse over Scotland.

This is no coincidence. In August and September, this celestial focus often turns to our shores, a land rich in spiritual heritage — from the ancient Druids and their sacred connection to the Earth, to the diverse tapestry of beliefs and cultures we share today. Such moments mark a universal shift, a deep invitation for us to receive and channel this cosmic blessing.

As the meteors streak across the night, they will paint the darkness in blue-green, orange-yellow, violet, red, and gold — each colour carrying a distinct vibration:
💙 Blue-green — renewal, healing, calm clarity.
🧡 Orange-yellow — creativity, joy, inspired action.
💜 Violet — transformation, intuition, higher awareness.
❤️ Red — courage, grounded passion, life force.
💛 Gold/yellow — confidence, clarity of vision, mental strength.

White light, like the Divine, holds every colour — even those invisible to our eyes. So too does life hold blessings hidden within challenges, lessons within obstacles, and beauty within what is unseen. The Creator sees all, knows all, and in that knowing — all is love.

🌠 How to Embrace This Shift:
• Step outside tonight and watch with intention.
• Let each meteor’s colour guide your reflection — invite healing, transformation, creativity, courage, and clarity into your being.
• Whisper a blessing for yourself, the UK, and the world:
“I welcome love, healing, courage, transformation, joy, and clarity — for all.”
• Remember that unseen forces move in perfect timing — and you are part of that divine flow.

Like the eagle, we can change our focus when needed, soar higher when called, and return to the truth of who we are: unique, whole, and filled with peace, joy, and light.

So tonight — open your heart to the kaleidoscope energy raining upon us. Let it remind you that you are part of something vast, ancient, and beautiful.

The Cosmic Dance: Lion’s Gate 8.8 Meets the Aquarius Full Moon

There are moments in the turning of the heavens when two great tides of energy meet — each powerful in their own right, yet when intertwined, they create a rhythm that echoes through the human heart. Today, we stand in one of those moments: the Lion’s Gate Portal of 8.8 merging with the Full Moon in Aquarius.

The 🦁 Lion’s Gate Portal – 8 August

Each year on 8 August, the Sun in Leo ♌️ aligns with Sirius, Orion’s Belt, and Earth — forming the great Lion’s Gate. In the sacred language of numbers, 8.8 is the infinite loop, the unbroken flow of creation and return. It is a day that opens the heart’s channel to receive amplified light, wisdom, and soul-aligned inspiration.

This portal calls forth the courage of the lion — a courage not of domination, but of authentic living. It is a cosmic amplifier for our visions, intentions, and creative truth. As the gateway opens, we are invited to plant seeds in the fertile ground of possibility.

The Aquarius Full Moon – 9 August

Rising now over the mountains of Aquarius ♒️ — the jagged peaks of wisdom and individuality — the Full Moon illuminates what has been hidden. Aquarius, the water bearer, is the rebel and the freedom seeker; they bring the waters of truth to quench the thirst of consciousness. This moon urges us to break free from old patterns, to pour away what no longer serves, and to stand unafraid in the uniqueness of our soul’s expression.

Yet freedom is not chaos; it is a dance of integrity and authenticity. The Aquarius moon reminds us that we are not alone on this path — community, shared vision, and interconnection are the bedrock of true liberation.

The Union of Portal and Moon 🌀🌕

When the Lion’s Gate and the Aquarius Moon meet, the energy is both fiery and visionary. The heart (Leo) beats its steady drum, 🥁 calling us to courage, while the mind and soul (Aquarius) 🌊 reach out to the horizon, seeking the new and the radical. This is the dance of the infinite and the unique — a weaving 🕸️ of the eternal pulse of creation with the spark of personal revolution.

Energetically, this union feels like standing on a high mountain at sunrise: the first golden light of Leo flooding your skin, while the cool, crystalline air of Aquarius sharpens your vision. It is the body alive with electricity, the soul attuned to a higher frequency, the environment around you vibrating in response to your shift.

Navigating This Cosmic Rhythm

Listen to the drum of your own heart. In the stillness, feel its rhythm align with the greater rhythm of the cosmos. Let the pulse guide your steps.
• Set Intentions (Lion’s Gate) – Speak them aloud, with clarity. Name the dreams you are ready to live.
• Release (Aquarius Moon) – Pour away the waters of the past. Free your hands, your heart, your mind.
• Anchor in the Body – Move. Dance. Drum. Let the physical form express the energy rising within you.
• Stand in Your Mountain – Like Aquarius, hold your ground of wisdom and uniqueness. Freedom blooms where roots run deep.

The Gift of This Moment

This is not simply a forecast — it is a call to embody the energies now streaming through you. The Lion’s Gate opens the channel; the Aquarius Moon directs the flow into freedom and truth. Together, they form a drumbeat for transformation, a dance that invites all living beings into wholeness.

How Holistic Rising Can Support Your Transformation

At Holistic Rising, we honour these cosmic moments as gateways for deep healing and growth. Our healing clinics offer treatments, guidance, and energy-aligned practices to help you ground, integrate, and magnify the shifts this union brings. Whether you are new to your path or ready to deepen it, our practitioners create a safe, sacred space for your transformation into wholeness.

This is the energetic waltz of heart and mind, of courage and freedom. Step onto the dance floor with us — reach out today, and let your journey begin.

💚♒️🦁 May we rise. May we dance. May we weave the infinite rainbow of creation from the light entering our hearts today.

The Dance of Energies Within: Weaving Consciousness, Balancing the Soul, and Rising Together 🌅🐆🌕🦅🌑🌈🦁🔥💟🙏🏽💫🕷️🦋

Let us begin with clarity: when we speak here of feminine and masculine, we are not referring to gender. These are not labels bound by biology, but the timeless, complementary energies that flow within every one of us.

The concepts of male and female are tied to physical form — shaped by hormones, nutrition, genetics, cultural norms, upbringing, financial circumstances. All of these are further influenced by the unique experience of each life and, crucially, by how the individual interprets those experiences. It is here that energy comes into play — in the form of intention, nurtured through integrity — and from this place our uniqueness is born.

These influences give rise to emotions, which, in truth, are biochemical signals designed to guide us in shaping our character, morals, temperament, and maturity. Life, karma, the Universe — they may offer us situations beyond our control, but what remains firmly in our hands is how we interpret them, and therefore how we respond.

True equilibrium — a state of inner homeostasis — is found when these inner energies are balanced. When we cultivate harmony within, our perception shifts naturally. Bias softens. Bigotry loses its grip. Inequality is challenged by compassion. And the ego — that restless voice which has long led humanity astray — finds itself gently, yet firmly, kept in check.

Our physical form is not merely flesh and bone; it is an electrical symphony. The human body generates electricity that flows through it, with its own magnetic fields. The heart itself is a powerful conductor, producing an electric current that travels to every cell. Each atom, each element, each organ carries its own vibrational signature — a precise frequency essential to its wellbeing and equilibrium.

This living current generates an electromagnetic field, and because we are made of charged particles, we are subject to the same laws of electromagnetism that govern all life — the ancient dance of cause and effect. The human electromagnetic field extends about three feet beyond the body. When we maintain clear boundaries within this space, we safeguard the integrity of our choices and shape our immediate reality — what we see, and thus, what we perceive.

By attuning to the natural flow of energy within, and restoring balance to our way of being, life becomes simpler. Emotional intellect is our greatest asset towards understanding the simplicity within the complexity of dance similarly to a martial art we push and pull with ease and grace we Dance. Peace is no longer something to be sought, but something that arises naturally. Joy takes root. And the noise of ego-driven destruction begins to fade into the background.

It begs the question: why are these principles — the very foundations of human existence — absent from our schools? These truths are no secret, yet they are often buried beneath jargon or scattered across disciplines. If only science were translated with the same human-centred clarity as sacred texts — like the Tripitaka, the Bible, the Bhagavad Gita, the Quran or the wisdom of indigenous traditions — we would be far less confused, and far more able to see the practicality within the profound.

This is not a utopian dream. It is the weaving of the great spider’s web — a conscious network of awareness carrying us towards a new reality. One where the human soul is no longer manipulated by ego, and the divine spark of the Creator is recognised in every living being of Mother Nature.

From this tapestry of consciousness, rainbows are born — each a unique kaleidoscope of freedom and possibility. May we rise.

🌍✨ The Dance of Energies Within ✨🌍
When the masculine and feminine within us move in harmony, they create balance, peace, and the freedom to live in truth. Just as the spider patiently weaves her web, we too can weave our reality — one intention, one breath, one conscious choice at a time.

We are electric. We are magnetic. We are creators. And when our energies embrace, they birth rainbows 🌈 — living kaleidoscopes of possibility.

💚🙏🏽 May We Rise in Unity of Self Love & Whole 💜💫

Our words and love carry a reverence that’s deeply felt—for Earth, for the cycles we’re a part of, and for the sacredness of time marked not just by the calendar, but by energy, intention, and presence.

As we stand in the energy of this eclipse, and in the echo of Gaia Day, your invitation to slow down and to honour healing—both collective and individual—is timely. The eclipse serves as a potent symbol of release and renewal, and it’s powerful to consider it not only in astronomical terms, but energetically: a pause, a reset, a deep breath for the Earth and for ourselves.

Two days ago, we experienced the first major shift in the release and healing of Mother Earth, a deep energetic movement preparing us for today—the 2nd of August—Eclipse Day. This event marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing transformation of our planet, aligning with natural cycles long recognised by our Ancestors.

Yesterday, the 1st of August, was Gaia Day—also celebrated as Earth Day—a moment honoured around the world as a time to recognise and give thanks to our living planet. It is a day set aside for remembrance, healing, and reconnection with nature, in full acknowledgement of Gaia’s energy and her ancient pulse, which guides us all.

Today, on Eclipse Day, we rest. In this sacred stillness, we join Mother Earth in her pause—a moment of integration following the great energetic shift. This is a day woven into time by Ancestors many moons ago, created in conjunction with the Earth’s rhythm and the celestial alignment now upon us.

So, I welcome you to embrace this beautiful day with reverence and presence. Let us give thanks, show love and gratitude to all living beings, and continue on our healing journey. May we all find peace, may we all discover deeper self-love, and may we rise into authentic purpose, truth and vitality, let us embrace respect rather than expect. To expect is to assume that another is not present and therefore is in tune with our expectations rather than their freedom. To take away freedom is to remove peace, self love is filled with peace love and harmony the essence of 3 with the unity of 2 self and spirit within 🦅💜🥁AHO🙏🏽

🌍✨ 💟A Call to the LIGHT🔥 ✨🌈🙏🏽

As we move towards the Total Eclipse on 2nd August, most visible in Scotland, the Earth — our Mother — begins a powerful release. Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis… these are not punishments, but deep, ancient energy being cleared. This is the body of Gaia releasing density, making space for the light of a new age.

Each natural shift is a cry — and an invitation.

When we connect to Creator with love and intention, we become conductors of light for Her.

The more conductors that unite the more beacons will alight, helping stabilise the energetic field around the Earth as She sheds the weight humanity has long placed upon her.

With every conscious connection, ripples of light cascade through the atmosphere.
And when ripples collide, spirals ignite, forming vortexes of light that transmute heavy energies back into Source.

These spirals soften the instability in the thinning atmosphere above the anchors — which, though intentional for ascension, is still fragile and volatile.

🌱 We are her children. We are her conductors.

The more of us who connect, the stronger the field becomes.

The more light we carry, the less the density grips.

And the less humanity is bound by its shadows, the freer we become to live as the souls we were born to be — whole, in harmony and free.

So during this time of intensity, we are not powerless.

✨ Sit with Her. Breathe with Her. Pray for Her.

Offer your light. Anchor your love.
You are not small. You are part of the shift.

💜 For every ripple of light you create, the Earth remembers her song.

And for every spiral you ignite, a child of light will be born may our anchors be thy own.

🙏🏽 Let us unite — for Her, for each other, and for the dawn to come.

🌕✨ HEALING ENERGY FORECAST | MASCULINE HEALING & ROOT CHAKRA ACTIVATION ✨🔥

Today, the Moon creates a sacred occultation with Mars, opening a powerful energetic portal—a moment to focus deeply on healing the Masculine energy within all of us. 🌑🪐

Mars embodies the energy of fire—action, movement, direction, and strength. It is the force that propels us forward. But today, this fiery energy meets the mirror of the Moon, asking us to soften, to reflect, and to heal.

We all carry both Feminine and Masculine energies, regardless of gender. Some women carry powerful Masculine frequencies, and some men embody beautiful Feminine energies—and this is the power of choice. We are free to choose how we move through life, and we have the ability to honour both polarities within. 🌓⚡

Yet, true healing and inner harmony come when we nourish both energies, and allow ourselves to flow between them with awareness. Healing the Masculine means reconnecting to the energy of protection, presence, structure, accountability, and rooted purpose.

🌍 At the foundation of this healing journey is the Root Chakra—our energetic home base. It holds the weight of generational memory and inherited patterns. The 7-Planet Alignment is offering us the opportunity to dig deep into this foundation, to illuminate what lies beneath, and to bring compassion and truth to our ancestral stories.

Think of your Root Chakra as a timeline of evolution—from mother, to father, to society, to culture. These layers live in your energetic body, passed down through bloodlines, beliefs, and behaviours. 🌿🧬

🔥 At Earth’s core is molten fire—just as within your own heart, there is a fire that fuels your soul. This is the fire of mind, body, and spirit united. But without Light, fire can burn without direction.

🌟 Light enters through the Crown Chakra—it is the wisdom of Spirit, of Creator, of Higher Guidance. Light brings intention. It guides the fire of our soul, helping us move with clarity, alignment, and love.

💛 The Solar Plexus receives the Sun’s power—the fire of the Cosmos.
🌙 Meanwhile, the Moon governs the Sacral and Throat Chakras. These are our mirrors, think of moon radiating sun’s warmth, think still waters, think brothers and sisters reflecting our growth, think mirror signal manoeuvre 🙏🏽 Reflection, Navigation, Exploration 🌑💫🪐🌈☀️

🟠The Sacral Chakra reflects our inherited emotional patterns—the mirror of our ancestry.
The Throat Chakra reflects our cosmic truth—the mirror of higher self-expression.
When both are activated, our healing becomes illuminated from both ends—earthly and divine.

🌊 The Root Chakra is the densest and often the most challenging to heal. It is the depth of the sea in which we find blue-black, where manifestation occurs, the richness of the Earth’s core, the ancestral soil from which we rise. It is here that the Masculine and Feminine must find union—a co-existence in strength and softness, fire and flow.

🛠️ Practical Ways to Begin Healing the Masculine Energy:
1. Set Boundaries with Compassion – Masculine energy is the guardian of your space. Learn to say no with love and integrity.
2. Cultivate Discipline with Kindness – Healthy structure brings freedom. Create a routine that supports your purpose but doesn’t punish your spirit.
3. Practice Embodiment – Ground into your body. Walking barefoot, strength training, yoga or cold water therapy help anchor the Masculine.
4. Heal the Father Wound – Journal on your relationship with masculine figures in your life. What did you inherit? What are you ready to redefine?
5. Use Root Chakra Affirmations – Try: “I am safe in my body. I honour my ancestors. I build a new foundation with strength and love.”
6. Channel the Fire through Purpose – Find what lights you up and commit to it. Masculine energy thrives in purposeful action.

⸻

💫 Remember: healing is not one-size-fits-all. Every soul’s journey is sacred and unique. True healing comes through self-discovery, and this process is the alchemy of transformation.

To heal the Root is to both honour your ancestors and find your unique place within their story—with compassionate detachment, self-love, and the courage to evolve while staying rooted in truth.

Today, as Mars and the Moon offer us this sacred mirror, may you find the strength to heal, the freedom to feel, and the grace to rise.

With infinite love, 💟
