A New Slate~Creating From Sprit; The Energy of May

And though you will look around and see how much things remain the same, you must ask yourself as well, how much has changed.

You will find yourselves in the rising water of emotions as core issues bob to the surface.  Clearing from the core, you will feel tethered, you will feel measured, by the undueling weight of all that’s gone on for far too long.  You will reach a point where you become certain that you can’t go on- will want to abandon ship, make drastic change of course, cut yourself free from the pain of the same, and run like hell from the looming sense of overwhelm as you stare in blank disbelief at the ‘reality’ of what is playing out before and within you as the theater of your creation. 

But as any good and liberated artist knows ( and we are all the artesians that craft our own lives) ~ there is credence in walking away from a creation when it isn’t an expression of your truest self.  There’s nothing wrong with scrapping the sculpture if it’s not authentic, if you’re not ‘feeling it’~ despite the effort, the time, the soul or overall investment you’ve poured into it.  Because the artist’s soul seeks to start fresh, to move to a new canvas and walk away from the old.  And the artist that honors this urge creates the masterpiece with fresh material and a new slate, rather than forcing what wasn’t flowing to become an expression of the soul’s desire.

We have arrived again at a crossroads.  And as we look around within the intersection of decision of course, we will recognize many a familiar road.  These options will roll around in our heads as we stand pivoted to make change, but they are not being presented as choices but rather for review of mistakes.  The choices presenting will all somehow seem viable but wrong.  If the option is familiar, if you have done it before (to your demise) or it has seemed like a credible possibility (with inevitable pain) then you are being asked to turn around.  You are needing to spin yourself in a new direction, to hear the call of the unbeaten path, to sing the song of the road less traveled and create now with the palette of your heart.

How much of your compass is magnetized by the familiar pull of fear?  How much of your inner directive is caught in a habitual grove?  Take the lesson from the masters: Jesus lived, died, and rose with arms wide open.  How closed off are you to the possibilities in your effort to defend your honor, honor your pride, and nurse your pain?  How much time have you already invested in that path, in rehearsed drama?  And ask yourself as you stand poignantly at this crux in the road, ‘How well is that way of doing it workin’ for ya?’

it will be easy in these times to direct your pain onto all of the who’s and what’s around you in order to neglect the mirror, in order to remain stuck in what’s been, because, my dear, you are running scared from facing your greatness.  You are one step away from walking on sunshine, from breaking through the veil.  But you hesitate, you are on the verge of turning  away and doing it over and again the same. To a great degree, it is unknown, and in that there is fear, but further still into the deep of what you shoulder is the obligation to remain small, the generational lineage of carrying on the ‘name’ of suffering, of shoveling aside our dreams, and of sacrificing what we want for that which seems to honor those that handed down the line. But you stand at the pivotal point of walking away from the pain and the shame and through breaking the chain of this madness, setting all souls behind and before you free. In doing it different, in honoring yourself, and in knowing that you need not pay homage to old ways of being, you inspire and ignite the flame in all souls to see their truest capacity for greatness.  And in this is the greatest act of compassion and love there can be. You are not dishonoring any before you in your walk toward sovereignty and embracing wholeness of being.  You are gifting them with the freshest air a soul can breathe.

You must challenge yourself to rise to the occasion, to step in to your glory, to mount the saddle of your new dominion.  It calls to you to awaken to the splendor of your soulshine- to acknowledge your capability, your acquired wisdom and strength, and Become, already, what you’ve long aspired to be.

Open your heart to compassion. Soften in the arms of grace.  Know not what you’ve been as the impetus for what you are evolving out of and into.  Create anew.  Start fresh.  If you’re feeling shame about the story you’re telling or unbearable in your current state, is it perhaps because your current script is not reflecting your truer state? Are you not repeating repetitive patterns and then questioning why your results are the same?  Your life circumstances are an accurate reflection of your inner state of peace.  So, if they’re not what you’re desiring or are inconsistent with your truth then you must question what’s in the way. Take heed of the scripts and dramas unfolding and notice how much the resonate with you in this moment, notice how true they are for you now. Be neutral in your observance, but be honest, and be willing to toss aside what’s not in integrity.

You need not continue to create a life of suffering or pay taxes on the poorer choices you’ve made.  And though you are called to release what to the surface is coming, you are advised to stay out of the way.  Wounds rewinding for another peek do not require unencumbered embrace.

Though you need create a space for the pain to leave (because that’ what’s still in the way- old pain, plain and simple) you must not become attached to it while it’s coming up and out.  Be especially aware of ‘always’ and ‘never’s’ as you get caught in the whirlwind of release.  Don’t allow it to become your identity.  Notions such as “I’ve never been loved completely’ or ‘I always fail to accomplish my dreams’ are old scripts now in question, that will vie for your emotional response and will seek to inspire path-diverting sorrow and grief. There’s been truth to these things, but that truth has changes, as have you, as you’ve grown.  And as you continue to evolve, you will find it less and less endearing to reach for that place of drama, or to rely on that percentage of pain to propel you forward.  You will begin to declare that life Was meant to be lived with ease. And you will begin to pave the way. You will begin to see more clearly how you can step out of these roles and these mantras and create what you want by forgoing retracing bi-lines and becoming the one in charge who takes steps toward his dreams instead of chasing the ghosts of them, and opens his arms to the vastness of love within and all around rather than seeking the sadness of what hasn’t been. Take a gentler path now.  Your life need not be paved with distress and dis-ease.

It’s time to relax into all that you’ve learned, to be guided by a Higher way.  And know, as it’s becoming gleamingly clear, on some level- on the level of discomfort in which you remain, you don’t have to remain the same.

Open to the map of compassion and let it shine the light of clarity on the choices you make.  Ask yourself, in indecision, ‘is this what my soul would want’ and hear what it has to say. It’s ok to do it different now, than you always have or than you believed was possible.  It’s ok to change.  The direction laid out before you calls for a new way of being, and in order to embark on it with faith, you have to push through the discomfort and detach from the voice of pain.

Soften now, and find the bridge, so that you may stretch into the life made of dreams.  Your worth does not depend on what you’ve acquired or accomplished, but rather on your ability to open your arms and fly free.

All you’ve ever wanted was to love yourself completely, though the lessons were not what they seemed.  Make every moment pivot toward and act of self-love and great peace these moments will bring.

This is the time now when actions will be drastic as people reach for relief of the pressure of the crossroads.  Chaos unfolds as the need for order ensues. All that is needing to be cleansed, released, and redirected is on the table, or soon to be, and there’s no more running and hiding or putting aside. It’s time to face up to what is and what’s been and move forward. It’s time to go to the next level, and that means owning up to our lives, our energy, our intention, and our responsibility for creating what we desire rather than making excuses of laying the blame.

The energy is intense as we are throttled into the necessity of following soul purpose, of overcoming the barriers of pain, and setting ourselves free.  Endings of lives (as we knot them), of relationships, and of contracts will unfold as souls scurry to find some peace.  Impulsive measures will be taken as we cut to the quick, but only when we fail to see that the answers we seek are alignment with truth and the parody of life is a smoke-screen. You are not who you were, you are different now, and your choices need reflect all of the consciousness you’ve retrieved.

Take back your power, take back your focus, and restructure your platform of Being.  Do one thing right now that moves you closer to your dreams and release the victim-mentality that’s been.  You hold your life in your hands, you are the one in command, take ownership of what will be.

Decide in Truth, and make way for better days based on integrity and alignment, based on peace.  Become softer, become open, become free.

Shine, don’t hide.  Your greatness is yet to be revealed. This is a time of creating order, creating newness, creating space for what will be. Welcome the chaos and eruptions that unfold as they will guide you on your path toward clarity of what needs be restructured and what needs be released. Stay focused on the mount though, as you hold the intention of directing the flow, remain diligent in raising high vibrations low, and become accountable for all of your out-flow. Neutrality, compassion, and grace are what will help your to save face and to ride above the rising water rather than submit to its depths and remain lost in the undercurrents during a month where there is much need for movement and creation to take place. Each step you take is sacred. Take many steps each day in the direction of what you desire and channel the energy of what needs to happen into creating a new work of art, and intentional and inspired piece that you can be proud of.  This is your life’s work. This is your masterpiece. Let if be a signature of your soul. Let is sing your praises. Let it be more than you ever imagined your dreams were made of. Lift off into the heavens of your spirit and stay elevated as you ground your new life and plant the seeds of your desires in the image of you on High. There are no longer any reasons why not. 

As this month rolls by, they well be excavated and evicted, and you will know greater freedom to soar and more solid ground on which to stand. As it is above merges with the so it is below, and you are simultaneously gifted with wings and with roots of strength that will balance you in your endeavors of creating heaven on earth. Transcend. Paint your new canvas. Create. This is what your soul desires. Be the unrestricted artist. Don’t let anything else stand in the way.

In reverence of your journey and in honor of your new choices...

May you find peace and love in your moments and grace many times throughout your days.
