The Records opened with an image ROTC Changing of The Guard; there’s some sort of honor guard and then there’s a peaceful transition of power, but it felt very peaceful and this feels very symbolic.
As I saw the honor guard marching, a new one taking their place and coming out, they were exchanging flags; the words which came up were “new regime” followed by the words “a new order” and “changing of the guard.”
And what I’m hearing is “a shift has occurred”…
Read MoreThe records opened this month with very similar imagery; the first thing I saw was someone sniffing a mint leaf and the distinct taste of mint came through.
The next thing I saw was an orange and a lemon being cut open, with somebody inhaling that fresh scent that comes from citrus fruits.
And the last image I saw was very similar - it was somebody standing by the ocean, and again, had their chin lifted and breathing in that ocean scent.
The words that came through were ‘clean breeze’….
Read MoreAs I was opening the Records for January 2022 - the first thing I saw was as if a monster truck was up on its two back wheels, and it came back down to the Earth with this really resounding thud.
And then that was followed by a picture of being on a ride at the carnival or the fair, where you are sailing, sailing, sailing through the air - and it slows down and you come back down to the ground, so that you can exit, and step out safely.
And there is very much a sense of groundedness and focusing on being grounded…
Read MoreWhat I’m feeling, with December of 2021, is that there’s an invitation to return to a space of cultivating a child-like gaze, where we are invited to look at the world with new curiosity and new wonder.
Some of that feels very tied into the holiday season, and the solstice, and just the amount of celebration that often happens around this time of year, leading up until the turn of the New Year.
There’s a lot of opportunities within those moments to practice acting like a child would, if they were experiencing the holiday for the first time. To have that child-like delight and that innocent gaze of just excitement - over the festivities, over the celebrations…
Read MoreNovember of 2021 is going to be a month where you are going to find it helpful to keep things as simple as possible.
It feels like a month where it would be easy to get carried away in the rush of events, the rush of voices, the rush of the collective, and lose track of where we might be on our individual journey.
This month feels like a month that, because of the influx of energies, the ways that the energies are coming through right now are like a tidal wave - you will find it helpful to keep things as simple as possible and focus on your individual song, your individual note, your individual journey of what you are writing….
Read MoreThe Records opened with several images happening all at once for October 2021.
The first thing I saw was a concerto being performed where there were multiple individuals on the strings and various different instruments - and they were all coming together to create this beautiful composition.
That was followed by the image of seeing cogs working together; all moving together in order to move the hands of the clock around. The last thing that came through as I was opening the Records were the words: ‘the body has many parts’…
Read MoreThere is something about this time of year that always tugs at my soul.
When I left Alaska back in 2016 I knew that mid-August into September would always make my heart ache for my first home.
There’s something that’s a mix of magic and poignancy about the way the tundra begins to turn cranberry and the leaves go from verdant green to an olive that foreshadows the yellow to gold to bronze soon to come…
Read MoreSeptember of 2021 - when I opened The Records for this month, I saw two different images-
The first one was of a bird gliding through the sky, and the second one was of a brick wall. I saw strings on shoulders; almost like a puppet being lifted up and over the wall.
The words I heard were ‘prepare to be uplifted’…
Read MoreSeems like I blinked and summer was almost gone.
June and July melted into a buttered blur or moving into our new home, decorating aforementioned new home, and allowing space for renewal, retreat, and respite after a difficult spring leading up to the move.
During this time I’ve painted the hallway green, hung pictures with precision and artful care, and sat in our yard, watching the sky turn from blue to orange each night at sunset…
Read MoreWhatever it is that you’re dreaming about- - dream bigger.
Don’t waste time thinking about how it’s going to happen or if it’s possible or how you will get there- - just start by dreaming. \
Start by allowing yourself to imagine something beyond what you have previously imagined. Start with the seed of a rose and imagine planting an entire garden…
Read MoreAs I was opening the records for August 2021, two distinct images came to mind that had a lot of similarities—
The first one was seeing a chessboard, where a chess game was already in play, and I saw this hand come sweeping down - it swept all the pieces to the ground, picked them up and started redistributing the pieces, resetting them and reorganizing the game.
And the words that are coming with that are ‘reshuffling’ and ‘reorganization’…
Read MoreChoose love.
It is the only choice you will make that will change your life for the better forever, because love is the origin of every good thing. And so, each time we choose love, we open ourselves up to that nucleus of goodness; everything else beautiful flows from there.
Learn to embody love’s universal energy inside of yourself; wrap it around you like a psychic shield which gently radiates presence and protection wherever you go…
Read MoreThe records opened with two different images: the first one was being on a rollercoaster and slowly going up - and the second one was of ocean waves - giant ocean swells that are rising up.
And, the energy behind that had a sense of upward mobility, upward rising and a sense that the energy itself is swelling.
So, let’s dive into that and explore what it means further…
Read MoreThe records of June 2021 opened with such a fun image; first I saw children on a trampoline bouncing, and then I saw rubber balls bouncing everywhere—
There was this sense of play to the energy, a sense of buoyancy - there was a sense of bouncing.
And when you bounce, you can see things from a higher vantage point, so I am excited to dig into this a little bit more deeply and find out what June has in store for us….
Read MoreLife went and did it to me again this past season – broke my heart that is. Not in the capital H Heartbreak kind of way, but more of the lowercase variety, which has reminded me that smaller heartbreaks can also be painful.
I’ve struggled to find the light quite a few times this last season.
It’s not the first time I’ve struggled, and I know it won’t be the last, but I do know from previous incarnations of struggling that if we can just stick with ourselves and stay with our process, a time will come where the light begins to break through…
Read MoreThe records opened with the words this month: “which road will you choose?”.
And I saw an image instantly that came with that; it was very playful! I saw a family that was in a minivan or a camper, and they were on a road trip, in the woods, going to a destination.
I heard - if a little kid was sitting in the back - “are we there yet? We’ve been going so long!”. So, there was a sense that some of us might be feeling that right now in our individual journeys…
Read MorePeople often say, “let it go, move forwards, it’s time to put the past behind you, all we have is now.”
But it is my observation this can be hard to do when the past continues to creep into our “now” like vines of ivy stealthily twining themselves around the present moment if we aren’t vigilant about trimming them back.
Layers of grief, trauma, and ancient history from previous heart cycles and incarnations of self like to burrow into the recesses of our psyche…
Read MoreApril came in with strong winds, a quick breeze, and a tired heart.
I always say that March is a changeful month, and so it was.
Now here we are with a bit of springtime weather this Easter weekend as I reflect on the passage of time since we moved into the year 2021 and presently find ourselves stepping into the 2nd quarter of the year…
Read MoreThe records this month opened with similar pictures. The first image I saw was an artist who had been busy at their canvas; I saw them taking a step back and really studying the canvas, looking at “what did I just create here?” and “what is this picture or portrait sharing with me about it? what does it want me to know?”.
Then I saw a writer who had written perhaps the chapter of a book or written part of a book, going back and re-reading the manuscript.
And so, there was a sense of that this is a time for new creativity, where we will be using the things that have happened in the first quarter of the year in order to have a deeper understanding of where we are moving into April and beyond…
Read MoreYou can hold both challenge and cheer within you. Sorrow and joy. Bliss and despair.
It is not one of the other, but allowing for both, that helps you make a choice in the direction you want to move.
And that is the guidance we bring you this month—
Which emotional state will you own? Which direction will you point yourself? Which way will you choose?
