Gathering Momentum

Gathering Momentum

Daily Inspiration

By Kate Spreckley

December 18, 2025

We are navigating through what feels like a conflicting type of energy. On one hand we are feeling the excitement of expansion and on the other, the heaviness of time, commitment and responsibilities. It feels exhausting to hold the tension between the two as it creates a blending of our intellect, intuition, and instinct. A coherence of the head, the heart, and the body which is needed for the new cycle that will be birthed through the Solstice.

This period before this weekends New Moon and Solstice is a uniquely powerful time where we are closing one chapter while preparing for the start of a new one. In the depths of our psyche an old paradigm is dissolving and will ultimately bring a release of energy which can then be directed towards the creation of the new cycle.

You may feel like you are living outside of time as the past, present, and future converge gathering the momentum that will carry you through the Solstice gateway. This convergence can feel disorienting, but it is also clarifying and revealing what is complete and what is ready to move forward with you. Remember that the Solstice is a turning point, a natural reset that will invite you to pause, recalibrate, and consciously choose how you will step into what comes next. Allow what needs to be released to fall away. As the incoming energies move through you, stay mindful of what they are stirring and illuminating. With each release you will be drawn into greater alignment and flow with the endings unfolding, making space for the new cycle that is preparing to emerge.

Much love

Final Full Moon of 2025

Final Full Moon of 2025

Daily Inspiration

By Kate Spreckley

December 4, 2025

A Full Moon brings light to our emotional world giving us the opportunity to acknowledge and release what has been building up emotionally and energetically. Today’s Full Moon, the final one of the year, brings completion and closure to a period of intense inner reflection. For some this will bring great relief as the intensity of the past few months begins to wane. For others it will amplify emotions and feelings which have been suppressed or denied.

Whatever your experience, this Full Moon brings the opportunity to blend intuition and intellect. The incoming energy will help you to gain a deeper understanding of your inherent traits and the attitudes that shape your views and behaviours. You can expect new insights to emerge that will reshape your perspectives, beliefs and the inner narratives that influence your choices, decisions and actions.

Remain flexible and open in your thinking and feeling as more clarity and deeper understanding emerges. Allow yourself to see the broader context of your life and all that you have been immersed in. Witness the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful, the full spectrum of experiences while remaining objective without reaction or judgment. Remember that in these times of profound transformation and change awareness is crucial as it will enable you to navigate your way through and forward.

Much love

Forgive and Let Go

Forgive and Let Go

Thought Adjuster

Is The Teacher

Message received by Anyas

Posted on January 20, 2025

 

Oregon, USA, June 25, 2022

Thought Adjuster: “Forgiveness is a multi-layered process set into motion by the honest desire to forgive. The challenge many encounter in that endeavor is that they tackle it from their intellect rather than their heart. Merely saying “I forgive you” does not make it so. You will soon notice that there are still pockets of resentment and feelings of hurt that keep bubbling up. How, then, do you go about releasing them once and for all?

The best approach to this soul-liberating process is to reflect upon Jesus’ life that abounded in forgiveness exemplifications. He was greatly misunderstood, emotionally and physically abused, and subjected to character defamation. In comparison, your self-righteous assertions of victimization often amount to self-pity.

Jesus never felt sorry for himself. He dealt with the earthly life blows by adopting an elevated perspective, ever more concerned about his heavenly Father’s feelings than his own. To him, the injured party was the Father he had come to represent. By not taking offenses personally, Jesus did not brood over them or schemed revenge. He distanced himself from the Old Testament retaliatory an-eye-for-an-eye response and, by turning the other cheek, he stunned his tormentors and the bystanders.

Forgiveness is indeed an act of liberation — of the self and those who dug their claws deep into you. It is also a process of emotional relaxation — only possible when the mind and its memories disengage from the inner conflict to allow the heart to do its job as the forgiver. Forgiveness allows for peace to settle in. Wasn’t your Master Jesus coined as the Prince of Peace? How else could he have forgiven if he had operated from a place of inner turmoil?

The dove of peace holding an olive branch needs to be released from your heart. Yours is to open the door of its cage whose bars are made of resentment and grudges. Once you set it free to soar, it will become your peace ambassador. Do not rescind its emancipation, as by doing so, you nullify your selfless act of forgiveness. Let it go so that it can drop its olive branch in the lap of those you want to absolve of any debt toward you.

It is the only way for peace to be restored in your world — inner and outer. Jesus makes himself available to assist you in that process that he mastered to perfection so that he could become ‘the way’ — the way back to the Father as heaven is a grudge-free zone.”

The Secret to Empathic Listening

The Secret to Empathic Listening

By Judith Orloff M. D.

Posted on November 24, 2024

Empathic listening is a way to help heal others through the quality of your presence and attention. You consciously give your time, focus, and compassion to someone who needs to be heard. You slow down to be fully in the moment without distractions. No checking messages, being on the internet, watching television, scanning the room, or taking calls. You are quiet. You are attuning. You are present.

As a psychiatrist, I’m a trained listener. When patients consult me, I’m able to listen to them on a deeper level by utilizing my intellect, my intuition, and empathic abilities. This is very gratifying to me as it gives me the opportunity to understand what they are experiencing on a deeper level. To empower my empath patients, I teach them to listen to their inner voice and set boundaries with difficult people so their empathy can be a source of strength, love, and vitality rather than “dis-ease.”

Empathic listening is very different from talking. It is a quiet, non-verbal exercise in cultivating presence and showing undivided attention. This is also known as “passive listening,” which is different from “active listening” where you ask questions and discuss what the person shared.

Six Keys to Empathic Listening

Here is an overview of the main points to practice empathic listening. You can learn additional techniques in my book The Genius of Empathy.

1. Stay Neutral, Bear Witness

As a listener, you bear witness to another’s distress. You are caring, while offering a few supportive smiles, nods, or words.

2. Cultivate Acceptance

Try to be tolerant of ideas that may be different from your own, that you haven’t been exposed to before, or reasoning that makes you uncomfortable.

3. Set a Time, Place, and Time Limit

Keep in mind that you don’t have to listen to everyone in need, as many caring people tend to do. Choose who you listen to and for how long.

4. Stick to One Topic

Agreeing on a topic keeps you focused. If a sharer tries to cover a list of problems, it can be unproductive and overwhelming for both of you.

5. Listen to Your Intuition

Listening to your intuition can help you determine a person’s inner state. It is a nonverbal way of being empathic.

6. Bring the Conversation to a Close

When you’re nearing the end of the agreed-upon listening time, you can gently remind the sharer that it is almost time to stop.

As you begin to practice empathic listening, simply offer the recipient a supportive, nonjudgmental presence. Allowing time to listen to someone gives them space to express themselves. People also enjoy sharing happy moments and breakthroughs. Listening to these is a way of sharing positive energy and a sense of celebration with each other.

How to Reclaim the Divine Feminine Role

By Steve Beckow

Posted on August 16, 2023

Reader Christine has sent in this comment, which we publish.  As a hermit by choice, I can’t claim to have deep insight into the solution to male-female conflict.

However I do believe it will lift quite significantly when two things happen: (A) the end of the divide and conquer strategy of the deep state which sets people against each other over issues like this and (B) the occurrence of the Ring of Fire/Wave of Love which will open people’s hearts around the planet, after which solutions will more easily be found.

Christine says:

“You have made Women to be the Nurturers and Creators and you have given Men physical Strength and Speed with which to protect and provide for Women”.

Reply received;

“That is correct”

I continue;

Yet Men have abused their strength. They do not to protect and provide to enable Women to create and nurture as you so intended, but instead abuse their physical strength to subjugate and control women. So how can that abuse by Men against Women ever be addressed and rectified as Women do not have the physical strength to defend ourselves not to mention to fight back with success?”

The answer received;

“Intellect and Reasoning”

So it seems that Women have been give intellect and reasoning (intuitive) with which to educate Men of their ‘Truth’ which is to Provide and Protect for the Creators and Nurturers.

I’m not entirely sure how to implement this, but I instinctively feel that Women have to make themselves independent of Men [less needy – yet not to imitate or become pseudo males] to then redefine and inspire the true male role, which I genuinely believe to be lost to them within their identity of patriarchal responsibility, which does not sit well with Men because it was not and never was a naturally ‘given’ role.

When Men can protect and provide without ownership and control but with compassion and love, then Women will be free to Create and Nurture without fear or subjugation.
