I’ve been feeling a bit stuck lately. The image that comes to mind is a maze and I’m in one of the dead ends. Perhaps you are feeling this way too! Apparently we have 6 planets in retrograde right now. I’m not sure what all that means, but I imagine it’s not great. So yes, you might be feeling a bit sludgy or backed up yourself.
In my recent video on how to navigate your life’s map, I talk about feeling the way forward. Going towards what lights you up, what feels expansive, what brings you energy. This is most certainly Your Guides / the Universe / Your Soul showing you the way forward. And I’ve been REALLY focused on doing that lately. Living my life in harmony with the energetic flow, feeling my way forward.
You can imagine how it felt when over the past week I’ve had NO flow. I mean, the only flow took me to a historical museum in the middle of a work day - what was that about? I didn’t have any energy to shoot videos, or to work on my projects or big ideas. Or even the little ideas. I spent hours just lying on the floor trying to look at what is blocking me and understanding myself. But you know, sometimes it is exhausting trying to understand yourself.
So! I got a little inspiration as I lay there on the floor yesterday. I followed it. I took out my journal, and just listed every idea that I could possibly do to move into some sort of action. Anything I WOULD do, not bothering with the stuff I had zero interest in or “should” do. I mean everything from starting a spiritual growth group program to writing a fiction book with a reincarnation theme to picking up a part-time job as a dishwasher. (My first job was as a dishwasher; it's a very zen experience).
Then I looked back over the list and pulled out the things that actually have a bit of buzz, energy excitement. Then I looked at THAT list and grouped them. Sure enough, there were themes.
- Doing more energy healing work. It is something I love doing, and have strong abilities in. My secret superpower, which just feels so natural to me I don’t make a big deal about it.
- Doing more collaborative work. This is a big one. I’ve been getting the message for years that I’m supposed to be working with others, not alone. Ideas around doing workshops or group programs bringing in different practitioner types (think past-life regressionists, astrologers, etc. all with the aim of helping you crack your spiritual growth needs), and also starting to do videos where I have conversations with others instead of just being a talking head.
- Spiritual Growth focused work. So far a lot of my focus has been on reincarnation specifically - what’s your soul age, how reincarnation works, understanding your soul/life lessons. But one thing I’ve been seeing in my clients - they are showing up not to deal with current life struggles as I’ve seen in the past. No, they are showing up because they want to be the highest version of their souls. They aren’t interested in getting more money or fixing a broken relationship. They want spiritual evolution. This seems to be where the energy is flowing now.
Well. That little exercise worked. Because I hopped off the floor and immediately became inspired into action. Too much action really - ha! A common issue for us Aries.
And the amazing thing? Today I reached out to someone I’ve had on my mind to collaborate with. And immediately, I mean seriously FIFTEEN MINUTES later, someone else reached out to me saying the Universe was nudging her to reach out to me about a collaboration. Mind blown.
You see, one thing I realized early in life when I was stuck was that if you move forward in any direction that will bring you to your path. If you just stand still, you aren’t getting anywhere. So any action, even the wrong action, ends up being the right one.
So! Sounds like it is finally time to answer the call to begin collaborating with others. The time hadn’t seemed right before. Well, it is certainly time now. If you are a practitioner of some sort that the Universe is nudging you that we could collaborate in some way - reach out! We can have a chat and see what, if anything, is a fit.
And if any of the things I mentioned above interest you and you want to throw your energy into it with the Universe to nudge me in that direction - reach out! Let’s get the flow flowing.
Okay, here’s to the changing times that autumn brings!
