It’s such a gift to connect with you in this way. We have a lot to catch up on, so let’s get right to it.
The energetic winds are picking up speed and changing their direction.
This shift was amplified with the recent solstice, and will continue to increase over the next few months.
As a result of this shift, humanity is currently moving through another tremendous leap in consciousness.
It’s been a while since such a big leap in consciousness has taken place within the collective. All of life in the Universe will feel and notice this deeply, including all living beings on our planet.
It will also have a tremendous effect on the next part of our personal and collective journey.
What this Leap in Consciousness Means
When we collectively experience a big leap in consciousness, or a “consciousness upgrade” as many call it, the fabric of the world around us fundamentally changes.
So much so, that we will soon see a different reality unfold in our lives, as our previous reality starts to gently soften and fade into the background.
When a big leap in consciousness occurs, we usually see it unfold in ways that affect our personal lives, such as:
An awakened inner fire and passion for life
A desire to be more active and productive
A desire to begin something new (project, business, career, hobby, relationship)
A desire to clean and simplify our home
A desire to learn a new language or instrument, and to travel
A desire to take a course, workshop, or lessons in a new area
A desire to think bigger and more outside the box
A desire to release people, places, and experiences that are no longer supporting our greatest good
A desire to feel even more connected to our Spirit and the Universe
A desire to fully see and resolve old patterns that have held us back from being our most authentic self
A desire for community
A desire to make a difference
A desire to be more loving, compassionate, and kind with ourselves and the world
A desire to make our inner peace and well-being a top priority in our lives
A desire to take better care of our body and mind (eating healthfully, exercising, meditating)
A desire to recognize the divinity within ourselves and others
Many are noticing significant outer changes already happening:
Science and Spirituality are increasingly merging to become one, via new discoveries that bring their concepts together
Things that have been long hidden or unknown to humanity are coming to the surface to be revealed and addressed
The old-paradigm institutions promoting a fear– and separation–based agenda are struggling, and no longer have the same hold on humanity they once did
Those promoting or buying into separation and fear are now starting to feel the heaviness of that weighing on them physically, emotionally, and mentally, making it challenging for them to continue promoting these types of energies
New concepts, inventions, and resolutions are now being introduced, with the intention of creating greater healing and unity for our world
Different industries (food, medicine, supplements, etc.) are beginning to take another big step forward in bringing healthy, transparent, and sustainable products to the masses
People from all walks of life are finding they have way more in common with one another than they had ever thought, opening the way for people to unite and create more and greater positive changes in the world
Many people with platforms to make a difference are stepping up and doing even greater things than in the past
The music and art coming out now and in the following months will also reflect the powerful changes occurring now
And much more!
Planetary Civilization
The next leap in consciousness is intended to move us closer to becoming a Type 1 civilization, known as a planetary civilization.
A planetary civilization allows us all to unite as one global family, and to create a reality that supports the greatest good of all people, rather than just a select few.
This shift is moving us out of the old archaic Us vs. Them and into a We mentality, where we care for, honor, and value the divinity in one another.
A leading physicist and futurologist describes it this way:
The culmination of all these upheavals is the formation of planetary civilization, what physicists call a Type I civilization. This transition is perhaps the greatest transition in history, marking a sharp departure from all civilizations of the past.
Every headline that dominates the news reflects, in some way, the birth pangs of the planetary civilization. Commerce, trade, culture, language, entertainment, and leisure activities, are all being revolutionized by the emergence of this planetary civilization.
– Michio Kaku, Physics of the Future
What this means, is that although we’re seeing a great deal of chaos in the world, it’s all happening as part of a shift in consciousness that’s paving the way for something much greater to emerge.
Even if we just reflect on the advancements that have taken place in the last 5 to 10 years, we can see so many confirmations that this shift is already happening.
Things that may not have been accepted before are now considered mainstream and “normal.”
The next few months will help us take another gigantic leap forward in the direction of moving towards a planetary civilization.
Expressing Ourselves
The first few weeks of July are all about coming out of our energetic shell. There will be a strong desire to step out of our regular routine and to try something different.
If we have a naturally outgoing personality, it will feel magnified. If we tend to be a bit shy and introverted, these next few weeks will open up something within us, giving us the opportunity to let go of much of the armor we’ve built around ourselves.
This armor had the purpose of protecting us in the old paradigm. However, it is no longer needed.
Our mind is expanding to where it fully understands that our Spirit is and has always been taking care of us, every step of the way.
That armor can be set aside now.
Time to Heal
As July unfolds, many of us will notice and experience changes when it comes to our healing journey.
The paradigm we’ve expanded into now is allowing for quick changes in healing to happen in our physical, emotional, mental, and financial energies.
Healing used to be more about “doing,” which required more of an “effort” energy. Now it’s more about simply “being,” where we operate from a space of allowance.
When we allow things to unfold as they’re naturally meant to, and move out of the way, healing often occurs on its own.
Those who serve as a holistic/wellness practitioner or spiritual teacher, and those who are in the creative arts, may have noticed their gifts have evolved quickly over the last few months.
It takes a certain kind of practice to reach a state of pure allowance, where we no longer exert as much energy as we may have in the past, especially when it comes to reaching a desired outcome.
One of the main reasons for this, is that the attachment to reaching a particular outcome is itself actually falling away. That release opens us up to even greater outcomes the mind may not have consciously thought of yet.
This is where that saying, “Let go and let God / the Universe take care of everything” finally begins to make a lot of sense!
When we operate from this space of complete nonattachment, we become witness to instantaneous physical, emotional, mental, and financial healing, within ourselves, others, and the world around us.
If you feel you have not been able to receive or notice the healings taking place within and around you, now is your opportunity to be willing to let go of your expectations for specific outcomes.
Those expectations may be holding you back from experiencing the much higher reality available to you.
One of my favorite morning intentions is to affirm: “I choose to let go, and let love.”
This reminds me that whatever burdens and attachments I’m still carrying, I can lovingly hand them over to my Higher Self / Spirit Self so I can make space for new blessings to enter my life.
The attachments the mind often creates to keep operating in the “doing” energy actually serve as fillers or blockages to our inner vision.
They prevent us from noticing and being open to new, unexpected blessings in our lives.
As simple as the intention “I choose to let go and let love” may sound, to the mind it can present a real struggle.
This is because when the mind tries to let go of something it thinks it still needs, it fears losing something important.
In reality, by letting go of what no longer serves our highest good, such as attachments to specific outcomes that keep the mind in fear, worry, lack, judgment, etc., we’re not losing anything.
Instead, we are gaining everything.
How? The mind may ask.
When we let go, we are letting go of the illusion. We can also call it “the chase.”
The illusion or “the chase” is simply another way of saying “working hard and expecting a limited reality.”
So when we let go of our belief in the limitations around a reality, what happens?
We step into a reality of Infinite Possibilities, expanding into our greatest potential, and no longer keeping ourselves small.
We are then opening up to Life in the fullest sense.
Ending the Chase
Society has taught us to look outside ourselves for anything we want to create and experience.
This conditioning has created the illusion known as “the chase.”
This occurs when the mind has decided that it has to pursue and attain something, exerting lots of time and energy, and moving through challenges to get what it thinks it wants.
Doesn’t that sound exhausting?
Yet we all know this process very well, don’t we?
Choosing to live in chase mode does at times satisfy the left brain, which is all about order, structure, and organization.
It satisfies that part of the mind, because it feeds its ability to operate in linear time, which is where mental structure and survival patterns thrive.
It’s important to honor this structured aspect of ourselves.
Yet if we are always operating from this space, especially when it comes to living the life we truly desire, it creates many limitations, and exhausts us on all levels.
The key to attracting well-being, joy, abundance, and all of the fun blessings life has to offer, is to recognize that the world around us is a direct result of the internal awareness, thoughts, and actions we are choosing daily.
It’s about understanding that we are the magnet that brings to us all the experiences we are having.
So with this awareness that we and our energy are the magnet, and not our actions, we can then pay attention to whether we’re creating from a space of being in the illusion (the chase), or creating from a space of being fully aware.
We attract to us everything we are experiencing as a result of what we project out into the world.
So if our desire is to receive more love, we can then become love.
If our desire is to become more financially wealthy, then we can share and give from a place of joy and nonattachment.
The big difference here is that one reality exerts a lot of energy through forcing things to happen, while the other allows us to simply attract and bring in the things we desire with ease and grace.
If we are ready to heal, we are being given the opportunity to do so now, in a very real and lasting way.
If we are not fully willing and ready to heal, that’s OK too … there will be more opportunities to do so in the future.
Everyone is exactly where they are meant to be on their journey.
If you are being called to learn and enhance your natural healing and/or creative gifts, trust your inner guidance. You might choose to enrich your gifts by taking a class or a workshop that resonates with you, or to read a book that feels empowering.
From Fear to Love
When we move through a highly active energy cycle, a great deal of inner and outer movement and change occurs. A lot of unprocessed fear can then come to the surface for us to look at, address, and heal.
When fear comes up as result of change, our mind tries to do everything it can to distract itself, simply because we have not been taught to embrace and honor the feelings we have associated with the actual fear.
Often, the mind even convinces itself that its identity will be lost if it does not fight back or resist whatever it’s afraid of.
We are seeing this collective resistance at its peak right now, which is clear confirmation that enormous breakthroughs are coming soon.
Of course, those on a mindful path have accustomed their mind to work harmoniously with their hearts. They can readily embrace change and honor the fear associated with it in a gentler way.
While moving through a highly active energy cycle, it can be very easy to get caught up in the fear tactics the collective mind is conditioned to buy into. It often even affects those who have been on a spiritual and mindful path; they can also get caught up in the illusion of duality (Good vs. Bad, Us vs. Them).
If you find yourself getting upset or emotionally charged in any way, be gentle with yourself, and know it’s OK to be human.
Give yourself permission to move through the emotions you are experiencing, and once they become calmer, and not as charged . . . saturate them with love and acceptance.
This will allow you to move forward with more ease, and to return to your natural, loving state.
And take comfort in knowing that there’s much light and kindness in the world, even amidst the turbulence.
It’s not something that is center stage in the mainstream dialogue right now, yet one day it will be.
One step at a time, we are getting there!
Until next time,
With gratitude,
