Let go of all the things you thought you should be and let yourself bloom naturally & in your own special way. Let go of what others expected you to be for them and embrace the relationships that leave you feeling refreshed exactly as you are. Let go and let go deeply of anything that doesn’t resonate with your heart and higher mind. The true path is already at your feet, so stop looking for something else to guide you.

Allow a new sense of purpose to provide you with inner balance and clear sight. Find your own unique path forward and leave behind the noise of the world. You are expanding into a more profound sense of YOU with each step you take. Walk away from forgetfulness and breath in the mindful and magical air of being alive.

Look deeply into your habitual patterns and release those that weigh you down. Escape from the pain of forgetting your power and embrace the truth of who you really are. The ties that bind you are illusory and cannot hold you anymore. Free your thoughts from the snares of brokenness and let yourself be renewed. You are the energy of spirit inside a body. Don’t lose your higher, observational mind by sinking too far into material matters. Elevate and remember.

Let the sunshine warm your heart and the songbirds help you to remember your joy. Storms all eventually end and as you emerge from the powerful eclipse energy, from Mercury retrograde and from the clearing nature of the recent Full Moon, return to yourself more fully. Find happiness in the little things like the smell of spring flowers or the way the buds on trees just seem to magically appear all at once. This is a time of deep renewal- get centered and find your inner peace.

Gratitude is the elixir of life. When we stop grasping at what we desire and stop repelling that which we fear another more profound truth arises- we are alive in this moment and that is all there is or will ever be. Let go. Put down the striving and the anxieties. Step into the realization that right now magical things are happening. Your heart is beating, your stomach is digesting and your body is being nourished. Center your attention and remember how joyful just being alive feels. Then be thankful for that awareness.

We all take our first breath and will eventually exhale our last, that is the way. What we decide to do between the two is our soul’s legacy. Right now, you hold the capacity to expand beyond your limitations, to dive into the depths of your consciousness, to swim in the great ocean of your heart. Let yourself truly experience all that is here for you as you navigate this fleeting expression of life. Breath in and remember, breath out and smile to your higher knowing. This is where magic lives.

With Mercury direct, things may appear to start moving forward now. The past few months have been filled with powerful and at times difficult change. Mercury retrograde assisted us in processing these changes internally so we would be ready to step into new energy. Think of it this way- a layer of who you were has fallen away… you have emerged reborn. Embrace new perspectives and ideas. It’s time to begin anew.

Emotionally, there may be some lingering feelings that are seated in your heart center needing to be cleared. It’s okay, give them space to dissipate on their own. This isn’t about not feeling difficult things, it’s about finding peace through those feelings so they no longer impact you so intensely. Hold space for any emotions that arise, hugging them carefully as you would a wounded child. You are your greatest nurturing partner.

Balance comes when we no longer react to the things we cannot control. True power is within. Breathe into your center and let yourself be relieved of the need to fix things outside of yourself. The truth is, the peace we seek lies in our responses not our reactions. Respond from a place of acceptance and you will offer yourself that acceptance as well. Peace lies in every step… walk gracefully away from old patterns of anxiety and control…. A great river of power lies within you, let it nourish you and leave others to their own.

There is no need to fight the path right now. It’s winding around places you may not have expected and that’s okay. The key to handling strong emotions like fear and doubt is to return to your body and focus on your breathing. By noticing your inhale and your exhale you calm your thinking down and make space for peace to return. Trust that the journey isn’t about a reaching destination but is found in each step.

The process unfolding right now is meant to show you just how far you’ve come since the current cycle started in 2017. It’s time to stop looking to others for that which you already know. Trust yourself and the wisdom you’ve gained. Step into yourself more fully and allow the universe to assist you in completing all that needs to be done. Worrying is simply a mediation on what you don’t want to have happen. Pause, breathe, and trust that everything unfolds exactly as it should.

There is a larger force at work here- a grand design that is beyond our understanding. When we release tension and step into flow a magical sort of peace evolves. Ideas of how things should be create resistance to how things are. Expand beyond limiting thoughts and resistant emotions. Let your ancient self lead you back to the promised land of peace and acceptance. Magic is here, now, waiting to be remembered.

It was just an empty chair
Sitting there
I was yelling at the space it held
Echoing
“You never loved me!”

Any number of men
Could have been sitting there
But it was empty
And I was just trapped by time
Screaming obscenities
To air
