Energy of July: You're Moving Through Feelings and Into Being Seen! · Reiki Radio Podcast

  Speaker 1: Hello, beautiful Alchemist. Happy July. Happy July. We are officially
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: over the midyear mark. We made it through June, and
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: now we are entering a new season. So for those
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: of us in the Northern Hemisphere, we are entering summer,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: and those of you in the Southern Hemisphere entering winter.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: In either case, I hope that you had a wonderful
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: solstice in June. Now let's talk about the energies that
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: we're continuing to dance in and out of and through
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and what it's all meant to help us heal and
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: transmute and learn and grow and understand in more expansive ways,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: because that's what this life is about, right at least partially.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: So one of the first things I always like to,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: you know, kind of look at how the energies transition
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: from one space into another. So in June, for example,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: we were in mind and emotion. So June started out
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: with Gemini season, which is all of that mental activity,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and then when the solstice happened at the end of June,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: we moved into the sign of cancer, which brings us
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: down into the emotional side of things. So even last month,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the card of the month, Lemnus skate was a beautiful
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: reflection of that, the opposing aspects of our consciousness, which
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: seems to be an opposition, But the key in this
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: realm of duality is really understanding both ends of any spectrum,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: of any pole and seeing how the complementary and in
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: fact one and the same just at two different extremes,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and how there is really balance and harmony to be found,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: unification to be known in the middle. So there was
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: this dance of mind and emotion throughout June, and there
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: was a lot of different expressions of that for all
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: of us. So of course you can reflect back and
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: really notice what stood out for you in the month
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: of June at the start, were there things coming up
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: like curiosities, things perhaps you wanted to learn or understand differently,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: were you're being more social? What really were the questions
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: that you started to ask last month? And then as
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: we moved along, were there things that started to activate
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you emotionally? Were there things that started to have you
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: go deeper into yourself and have some consideration around your
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: relationship or thoughts and ideas around family, or were there
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: any things that kind of triggered your awareness around relationship
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: to home and what that even means to you and
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: perhaps quite literally what your home feels like to you.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Were there any changes you wanted to make in that arena?
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: But what were your emotions? What were you feeling? And
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: then balancing the two mind and emotion, how were your
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: thought forms and your emotions in relationship? So whatever you felt,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: what were the stories around those feelings? And then you know,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: whatever you were thinking, what kind of feelings did your
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: thoughts trigger for you? So there's a lot of way
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: of looking at how you know, these different aspects of
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: ourselves are in relationship, which ultimately give us more clarity
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: around our own function, our own experience, our perception and
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: translation of how we are living, in receiving our lives.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: It really is impactful on every facet of our being
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: and how we create. But there was a lot to
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: learn there. So Gemini and cancer gave us a little
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: dance or activation between the feminine and the masculine and
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: relationship to mind and emotion. Whereas now moving into July,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: we are deeper into the essence of cancer, and then
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: later in the month we will move into the intelligence
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: of Leo. Now, this is what's really interesting to me
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: because I always like to look at the month as
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: a whole again, how things transition from one energy to another,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: how the baton has passed, what we're being prepped for,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and then what we move into to learn and go deeper.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: So looking at you lie first at the consideration the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: sign of cancer is ruled by the moon. Then we
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: move later in the month into the sign of Leo,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: which is ruled by the Sun. Now what's interesting in
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: terms of astrology with the Sun and the moon, these
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: are called the luminaries, those two planetary bodies, we'll call them.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: They are considered the luminaries. So these are the two
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: energies that astrologically speaking, really kind of set the stage
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: for our lives. They are reflective of our outermost self
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and our inner world. These are like foundational aspects, the
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: energies that reveal our relationship to our conscious spirit and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: our subconscious needs. So the moon is again like that
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: expression of the sacred feminine, that inner world, our needs,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: our emotional body. That's the Moon. That's that lunar energy
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: that is ruled by or that rules cancer, and that's
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: where we start. So at the start of this month,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: we're being asked to surrender even more into the recognition
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: and realization of what it is we feel, what is
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: coming up for us around the themes of family, what
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: are coming up for us around the themes of home?
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: But what is it that needs to be nurtured, acknowledged,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: understood within you by you first and foremost? Some of
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: us have a habit of wanting to be nurtured, validated,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: taking care of emotionally, so to speak, from other people,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: we may just be used to that, or it may
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: be something we crave, It may be something that you
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: even depend on, but that with a lot of expectation
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and a lot of disappointment, and it's not really fair
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: to put that on other people. If people want to
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: hold space for us and be there for us, then
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: you know that's a gift that it's even offered, or
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: that anyone would want to do it, But then to
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: take it a little further. A lot of times, even
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: when people do try to hold space for us lovingly,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: we have those expectations, and then we may be annoyed
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: that they're not doing it the way that we want
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: them to or the way they we expect them to,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: or we compare what we would do to what they're
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: doing or not, and again not really a fair thing
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: to do. Instead, we should recognize the uniqueness of you know,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: what everyone's expression may be, which may be very different
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: than our own, but also gives us a broader scope
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and lens around what any of this means. So what
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: does it mean to show love? What does it mean
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: to be nurtured and caring? What does it mean to
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: be family? What does it mean to feel like home?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: There is a much broader range and scope to all
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: of this than whatever our personal limited views may be
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: based on our own histories and life experience so far.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: But remember what Gemini taught us prior, be curious. Don't
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: just say one answer is right, look at both sides
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: of any coin to allow yourself to be open to
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: a much broader possibility That allows then more expansion of mind,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: more potential to understand, more, more willingness to be free
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: in mind and emotion. So we come into this month
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: with this cardinal initiating water energy cancer ruled by the moon,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: reflective of our emotional innermost self, And again later in
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the month we move into fixed fire, which is Leo
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: ruled by the Sun. So hopefully we really do take
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: that gift, that opportunity that encouragement to deep dive into
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the most intimate aspects of ourselves so that we can
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: have more understanding, initiate and support more healing to them,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: be willing to be seen in the brilliance of our
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: own unique light. That then Leo will encourage us to shine.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: So we'll get to that. But I just say that
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: to say again, I just think it's all very interesting,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: like the way that the baton is passed from mind
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: to emotion. From that, now we're in the emotion and
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: we're going to be passed into standing in the brilliance
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: of our passion and our authenticity. It's all a setup,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: a lot to learn and grow through. So the teacher
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: this month is the flight card. If you have the
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: energetic alchemist oracle, I recommend pulling out this card, meditating
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: on it, see how it speaks to you intuitively, or
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: read the description in the guide book that comes with
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: your deck. But with the flight card not that dissimilar
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: from Lemnas Skate in some ways. So Lemona Skate, the
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: card of last month very obviously has the representation of
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: the feminine and the masculine, and then the beautiful Lemna
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: skate in the middle which is representative of the balance,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: the harmonization, the unification between the two polarities, but within ourselves,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: so the harmonization of your own inner feminine masculine, which
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: could be expressed in your consciousness, could be expressed through
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: your behaviors energetically and so on. But there's wisdom in
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: that unification, in that flow. And then when we get
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: to the flight card number seven, you see the woman.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: This was inspired by Queen of Sheba. She has the
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: beautiful peacock feathers on her head dress. She's holding a
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: sacred flame in her palm, showing that she has we'll
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: say she has authority. She is managing consciously her own will,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: her own fire, her own determination. But we have all
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: of the elements here, so she is managing her own
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: divine will. But she also is connected to her intuitive mind,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: so she is a beautiful expression of mind and emotion
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: have already been harmonized. Cosmic and earth intelligence have already
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: been harmonized. And instead of a man and a woman
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: here in this card we see the dove above and
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: we see the snake below. And there are more elements
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: in the deck that you can read about if you
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: have the deck but there's still this passing of the
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: baton where lemnus Gate was highlighting for us that duality
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: exists within our being in consciousness. Whereas the flight card says,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: if you go deeper and you start to embody what
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: you recognize in terms of this duality, and once you
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: allow the curiosity and the experimentation to unify so that
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: this and that become other, then you can consciously manage
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: what it is that you are embodying with clarity, with grace,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: with wisdom, and that's what then allows us to take flight,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: so to speak. That's where we dissolve a lot of
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: restrictions and boundaries that are self inflicted, where we start
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: to recognize the boundlessness of our abilities to create and
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: experience and imagine, just list all the things in this life.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: But we have to be in conscious relationship with these
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: elements that we are. But we also have to have
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: the ability to unify and harmonize how all of our
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: elements are working together. So again, if you have the deck,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: these cards are meant to be teachers of our energetic alchemy.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: So even reading the descriptions in the deck, they are
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: meant to help you evolve in your path and understand
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: our practices and the work that we're doing. The other
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: interesting thing I thought about, you know, starting out in
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Cancer season and moving into Leo, is the alchemical symbolism
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: of each of these signs and relationship to which element
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: they are. So cancer is water, which is an inverted
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: trying and Leo is a fire sign, which is an
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: upright triangle, and when you unify the two it becomes
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: a hexagram or a six pointed star, which is very
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: symbolic of the unification of Earth and cosmic or the
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: spiritual realms and the material realm. It also, again we
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: have a hint towards this point of the work that
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: we're doing and how we're being guided to understand it,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: experience it, moved through it in stages and phases, but
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: all along the way there are different aspects to everything
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: that are pointing to us of what the the ultimate
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: teachings are. So there's another hint. It's beautiful. So we
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: are going from this recognition of feeling. We start out
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: this month again in beautiful lunar intelligence of cancer, I
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: feel into the solar intelligence of Leo. I am seen.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: So imagine that just for a second, if you allowed
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: yourself to really embody that, embrace that for yourself, your
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: relationship to your ability to feel, recognizing the gift of
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: feeling rather than feeling like it's a burden, Understanding the
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: wisdom within your feeling, Understanding the wisdom and your ability
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: to be able to perceive through feeling, to understand the
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: messaging within your emotions, to know how to manage your
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: emotions rather than having them run you. To understand how
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: to manage your own mind, rather than having your thoughts
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: consume you. Imagine a harmonious state of being in a peaceful,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: balanced relationship between mind and emotion, but also having this
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: experience of a peaceful, a balanced, harmonized innermost self that
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: feels confident, strong enough and willing to share who and
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: what you are externally, if you didn't feel that you
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: had to hide, if you felt very confident in knowing
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: your gifts, your talents, why you are here, what you've healed,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: and how that can even be a gift of sharing
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: to someone else to help them work through something very similar. Again,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: this is kind of the offering of this month and
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: this energy. How do we go from finding strength and
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: integrity and relationship to our innermal self, feeling safe in
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: that so much so that we feel bold and safe
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: and willing to be seen authentically externally. Now, we all
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: have different relationships with all of these energies, and so
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: life we experience highs and lows, different relationships, different connections,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: different things that give us opportunities to learn to grow
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: to again experience the different polarities on the spectrum. I'm
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: sure you've all had some great experiences in life. I'm
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: sure you've had some really tough ones in life, But again,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: you learned on either end of those spectrums. And where
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: do they meet? Where is the middle ground of wisdom
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: between the two, no matter what it is or what
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: the experiences were. So we're going from our inner self
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: and to our outer self or our outer space. You know,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: there's a lot going on in our inner world and
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: within our inner space that we need to be in
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: relationship with to manage. Because we all also know when
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: we're not managing or understanding our inner worlds, it gets
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: really chaotic internally fast. We know what that feels like.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: But we can learn to be in relationship with our
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: innermal self very differently, where we start to be a
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: conductor of sorts and we start to learn how to
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: allow energies to move through us instead of clinging onto them.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: And it's not just about healing wounds. Like in this realm,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: you hear a lot about that, and there seems to
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: be a lot of focus on healing our wounds, but
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of it is recognizing behaviors, recognizing our patterns
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: and habits, understanding the origin or the why, and changing
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: some of that. So I say that to say, don't
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: think that this work is going to require you to
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: do this deep dig into the depths of your history
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: and your consciousness that may come up naturally, but there's
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: more emphasis on what you are willing to change through
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: this release of attachments and ideas that things have to
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: be done in very specific ways. That we're so rigid
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: in our beliefs that it causes a lot of tension
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: and tightness and interruption and distortion within our bodies, our minds,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: our expressions. There's more than one layer to what this
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: work invites us to do to experience ourselves in our
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: lives differently. So Happy July. We are going to learn
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: this month from the luminaries, the moon and the sun.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: And as I mentioned, we are moving from I feel
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: into I'm seen, and it's also the intro in the
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: northern hemisphere into summer. We're just entering summer, so imagine
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: that the flashlight is being shown inside first. The big
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: flame of the sun isn't at its peak yet. We
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: will peak in summer when we get to Leo's season,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: but for now we're just entering, and so there's this
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: inner light that first must be illuminated, illuminating from the
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: inside out. Happy birthday to all of the beautiful cancers
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: out there, by the way. So with the astrology of
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: this month, what we get to learn through mark your calendar.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Take note the first event is on July seventh, the
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: first one I'm te talking about. July seventh. The planet
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Neptune is going retrograde in aries until December twelfth. Now,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: before we get into what that means, what stood out
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: to me obviously are the dates here, right, we have
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: seven to seven until twelve twelve. If you love numerology,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: I'll leave it up to you to do what you
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: will with the translating of those numbers and that portal
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: space in between them. Seven seven until twelve twelve. If
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: you're not familiar with astrology, you can sign up for
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: my newsletter and you will get access to a recording
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: of my free numerology class that I teach every January.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Or you can download the Energetic Alchemist app right now
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: and get access to that recording as well. So anyway,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: those dates July seventh to December twelfth, Neptune will be
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: in retrograde. So Neptune is this planet that is really
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: associated with another aspect of consciousness. So I say that
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: to say a lot of people are familiar with Mercury
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: and it going retrograde, and we all have heard it's
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: become like pop culture talk. Now when Mercury goes to retrograde,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: it's like communication can be a little skewed or misunderstood.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: And you know, anything associated with the planet Mercury, it's
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: almost like an inverted expression of it, or bringing it
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: into an internal state, or bringing a pause and a
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: highlight to it before it moves forward again. Mercury is
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: associated with how we process thought, how we think. It's
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: also associated with travel and commerce and these kinds of things.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: But in terms of us, it's really the planet that
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: gives some clarity around how we process thought, how we think.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: So when there are people in your life, and you're like,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: I don't get how they think. Why do they process
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: that way? They seem strange to you. You probably have
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: to very different mercuries, which is to say, you're the
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: sign that your mercury is and may be very different
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: than theirs. So anyway, mercury, while it is associated with
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: our consciousness, our conscious thought and how we process thought,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: neptune is like an alternate aspect of our consciousness, where
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: it's more of the dream, intuitive, subconscious realm of our consciousness.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: It's coming to mind to say, it's like the two
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: hemispheres of the brain right, so it's like the the
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: neptune would be like the right hemisphere, and mercury would
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: be the left, the analytical and the intuitive and imaginative.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: You know, you can kind of think of it that
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: way loosely. But because this planet is going retrograde, think
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: and in areas very specifically, think about it as like
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: slowing down our own internal flame because of that area's influence.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: And so these internal fires, these impulses that you may
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: have had something around that is going to be like
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: an invitation to slow that down to gain some clarity.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: So wherever the mind it's even coming to say some
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: of us may have been concocting stories and ideas, just
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: trying to make sense of things, and now something is
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: going to highlight that for us in this retrograde where
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: we're like, hold on, hold on, let's really get clear,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Let's have some understanding. Where do these stories come from,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: What is the origin of all of this, all of
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: these ideas and what's been imagined or what's just deeply
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: implanted within the subconscious aspect of your mind. We may
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: need to explore this. There are some things here that
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: may need some clarification. So think of it as like
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: bringing our subconscious mind to light, bringing what's in the
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: underbelly to light. So we start out this month again
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: making sense in the sign of cancer the archetypal mother,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: to go deep into ourselves, to nurture, to acknowledge, to
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: really understand the depth of what's going on with us internally,
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: and how can we reassess any of this that will
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: support our forward movement. Sometimes we have to slow down
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: and reevaluate and go deeper to really reconstruct so that
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: we're not trying to drag the same baggage forward, so
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: we're not repeating the same patterns and cycles indefinitely. So
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: while this may seem like oh God, more healing, you're
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: never not okay. Life is instantly giving us opportunity to learn,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: to grow, to understand how we approach it and how
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: we respond to it up to us. But this is
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: a long window from July to December. It's not like
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: it's overnight. So it's just a thing of I think
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: of taking a deep breath and planting the seed of allowance,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: giving yourself permission to say, like, Okay, whatever it is
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I need to understand about myself, I'm willing to acknowledge,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: and that's it, and then just trust that as life
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: is unfolding from now until December, certain things will make
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: themselves known to you. And as these stories and wounds
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: and dreams and ideas start to emerge, you'll have this
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: awareness of, oh, I better pay attention to this. Let
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: me be curious, let me see how this makes me feel.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Don't just sweep it under the rug. And again, just
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: having that openness, that willingness to reassess, so that you
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: can move forward with whatever ideas or projects or goals
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: that you have been cultivating holding on to considering now
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: after this on the twelfth of July. Mark your calendar
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: and circle it. Two reasons. Number one, really put this
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: on your calendar, put it in your phone. July twelfth,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: we have the Activation Circle. I've been telling you this
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: for a while now. I do the Activation Circles only
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: once a month, on the second Sunday of every month.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: It is at eight am Pacific, which is eleven am Eastern.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: This month, it will be on the twelfth. Mark your calendar.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: You can join for free. It is live, but it
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: is not recorded. So if you want to attend to
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: have discussion around Energetic Alchemy and to experience guided practice,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: sometimes in relationship to reiki, sometimes times going deeper and beyond,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: show up, find out. It's fun, and you can get
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: access to the Activation Circles by downloading the Energetic Alchemist app.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: It's that easy, it's free. So that's happening on the twelfth.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: But the other thing happening on the twelfth is that
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: the sun is going to be conjunct mercury. Remember the
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: plan of communication and the way that we think in process,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: but mercury at that time is going to be still
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: in retrograde in the sign of cancer. So remember we've
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: talked about when planets when you hear they're conjunct, that
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: just means they're very close together. They're like almost in
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: the same degree, if not in the exact same degree.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: But I like to think of it as like these
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: planets are in bed together. That's how I always like
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: to say it. But the sun, which is very illuminating,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: is going to be in bed with this planet. That
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: represents communication and our thought process retrograding in the sign
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: of cancer. So this is another way of illuminating, illuminating
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: our stories, our ideas, our memories, and these things may
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: have themes because it's in cancer. Themes around family, home
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: are feelings of safety. So don't be surprised. Again, it's
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: we're starting out this month that you start to become aware,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: you start to have reflection, consideration about anything that is
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: directly tied into your emotional sense of security, your emotional
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: well being. Family and home are at the root of that.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: But it'll look like something different for all of us.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: But what's most important is it is yet again a
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: healing opportunity for us. This is this illumination of mind
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: in a way that is offering like a reset, a cleanse,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: a nurturing and nourishing of mind so that we can
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: allow the mind to become clear again. Hi, how have
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: you been lately? Have you been feeling like your mind
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: is clear? Are you congested with thoughts? Is there anything
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: that you seem to be stuck on thinking again and
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: again about? Do you have any fears, doubts or worries
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: that have been echoing for some time. Let's be honest,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: what's going on now? What if there was this very
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: specific time that is being activated if you like, as
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: a way of inviting us into resetting that, going deep,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: getting clear, being able to reflect, illuminate, and have consideration.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Because it is in the sign of cancer, and even
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: though it's mercury, I would say also pay attention to
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: your intuition in this energy. A lot of people confuse
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: or maybe make the idea of intuition bigger than what
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: it is, not recognizing that they're having experiences of their
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: own intuition all the time. So if you are someone
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: who is familiar with your intuition and how you recognize
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: it and perceive it, find great be open to having
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: more intuitive insights and reflectiveness around this time. If you
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: are someone who questions and you're unsure if you're in
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: relationship with your intuition or what it all means, drop
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: that idea and just in the most simplified way, be
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: aware of what comes to your awareness out of nowhere.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: So not things that you are trying to figure out,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: not things you're trying trying to analyze, trying to answer
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: for yourself, not overly thinking, not doing it intentionally. You
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: know those times where you might just be driving and
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, different insights and inspiration start pouring in,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: seemingly out of nowhere, and you kind of go into
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: this trance of just observing these thoughts and ideas that
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: are swirling in and swirling through. But it's not stressful.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: The body isn't tight, there's no kind of restriction around it.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: It's just as if information is just there and you're
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: just calm and free and just observing whatever it is,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: whatever those thoughts are, And you might even have the
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: thought later of like, wow, that was interesting. I don't
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: know where that came from. It's really weird. I was
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: thinking about bupah bah bah bah. That's your intuition, when uninterrupted,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: making itself known to you. Be really something that simple,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Those times where you're in the shower and you're not
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: trying to think about anything, but downloads are coming in
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: ideas and just solutions and answers to your questions, and
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: you're like wow, and it just kind of feels energetically,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: like a stream of consciousness is happening. Those are those
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: moments where you are consciously engaged in the observation of
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: your intuitive insights. So around this time, when the sun
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: is conjunct mercury and retrograde in the sign of cancer,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: it may be more obvious these types of downloads, these
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: types of random drop in moments of awareness. Take note
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: of them, and when it happens, don't overthink it, because
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: then you'll interrupt it and start to insert the analytical mind.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Don't interrupt, Just keep calm and just be an observer.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Don't worry about forgetting, don't worry about remembering every detail.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Just observe and let yourself just witness whatever's coming in.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: And when you feel and know the information is done
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: so to speak, then write down whatever you can remember.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: It's the best way to practice building even the relationship
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: to your intuition. So at this time, because it is
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: also retrograde, you know our regular conversations can also be confused,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: So you do want to be mindful in this energy
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: that whatever you are saying is being clearly understood and
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: communicated to another person. Don't take it personal if someone
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: misunderstands you, remember the influence of this energy and have
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: a willingness to clarify without offense and vice versa. If
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: someone is saying something to you and you feel like
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: I don't really get it, or if you catch yourself
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: about to make assumption and make a story or activate
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: emotion around what was just said, pause, remember the influence
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: of the energy that we're in and ask questions instead
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: without Don't ask questions in a way that sound like
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: you are accusing someone of something. Do it without bias,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Do it with openness. The more clarity you can support
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: in the conversation, the better off it'll all go. All right.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: So then a couple of days later, we finally have
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: the alchemist of the month. That's what I call the
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: new moon because it is when the sun and moon
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: are in the same sign. So on July fourteenth, we
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: have the new super moon. In cancer. When you hear
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: the term super moon, it's just because we are in
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: closer proximity, or the moon is in closer proximity to Earth,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: so it appears bigger than it normally would, but it's
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: a new moon, so it's really not that visible anyway.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: But because of the proximity, it is thought that the
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: energy of it is more potent, more palpable. So where
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: new moons are typically a time where we plant new
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: seeds of intention, it's not necessarily a time of action.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: As the moon begins to wax, becoming more full towards
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: the full moon, that space in them between from new
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: to full is where we take steps building into or
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: nourishing whatever the ideas are, the intentions are, we start
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: to build into them. But at the new moon, you're
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: just planting the seed. The other thing about this is
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: that I personally like to focus on tapping into the
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: frequency of the seeds that you're planting. This I don't think.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know that I've ever heard anyone talk about this,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: to be honest, but it's coming to mind to share
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: this with all of you. Whenever we're planting new seeds
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: of intention, or even if it's not a new moon
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: and you're just setting an intention for yourself, the essence
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: of your intention in of itself is powerful. Because of that,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: you want to make sure that you are intentional in
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: the intentions you are setting. So I say that to say,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: make sure you're not planting seeds because you think you're
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: supposed to. Don't plant seeds based on other people's expectations.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Don't plant seeds that you haven't run through your own
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: system to see how you are in frequency or resonance
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: with that idea or that intention. Is it true to you?
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Is it really authentic to you? Are you planting the
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: seed for the sake of you, your life, your path,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: your way or is there some alternative reason. What's the
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: motivation behind this seed? And does it really belong in
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: your gardens so to speak, or does it need to
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: be altered in some way? So I say this to say,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: when you take time during a time like the new moon,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: be very intentional in that you're not just looking at
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: what you're wanting to experience, what you're wanting to manifest, create,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: build into. You're not just looking at the idea with
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: no depth. This is a time to have the idea, yes,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: but also feel into it, go into deeper relationship so
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: that there is more clarification around what it is you
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: are really planting, and the potential of it growing is
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: really going to be based on how much in resonance
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: are you really you to this? Is this really authentic
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: to you? Now? Because this moon and sun are going
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: to be in cancer, recognizing how you feel about this
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: intention is paramount. Okay, that's going to be key. How
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: do I feel about this? Not just what do I
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: think about it? How do I feel about it? So,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: because it's also in this air of cancer, this is
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: a good time to think about your intention around those
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: you care about. That could be family, it could be
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: people who are like family. It's just whomever is most
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: important to you that feels like family, that feels like home.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: This is a great energy to reflect on. Are you
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: giving any conscious effort in making sure they know what
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: they mean to you? Are you showing your appreciation? Sometimes
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: we take for granted the people that are closest to us,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: and it's not even intentional. It's just we may get
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: used to the fact that they're there, so we take
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: it for granted and we don't show up in the
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: same ways that we did in the beginning. Perhaps so
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: even it's coming to mind people who are parents sometimes
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: when their kids are young, they're all in and like
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: wanting to be a part of every breath, every step,
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: every movement the child makes. And then as the child
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: grows they're like, my, let them be independent. Whatever. Same relationships,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: At first, we have the butterflies, the romance, you know,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: the flirting, the back and forth. Oh, it's so much
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: fun and it feels so good. And then you become
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: used to each other, and then yeah, the magic can fizzle,
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: and then it becomes comfortable. You know, it's common. These
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: things are common. It can happen with every kind of
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: relationship in our lives. You might be excited about your
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: new job and then after a couple of years you're like, ugh,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: work right. So anyone who matters to you really have
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: a consideration of how much effort do you put in
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: to recognizing or acknowledging letting them know how much they
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: mean to you, And what do you do to let
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: them know, show them, tell them whatever you think is
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: most important. But be intentional. Be intentional with your loved ones.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: Be intentional about home, what your home life is, the
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: environment itself, what it feels like to you. Do you
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: have a space where you feel at home, even in
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: your home. Do you feel like you're at home? If not,
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: what changes can be made to make you feel at home.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: Sometimes we don't make changes to things because we just
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: don't consider it. I mean, it sounds crazy, but it's true.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Sometimes we just complain about things, but we don't reflect
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: on the potential of solution, even though many exist. So
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: this is a very interesting energy and it's a good
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: time to be reflective, especially because mercury will still be
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: retrograde at this time. So where with the sun conjuncting
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: mercury and retrograde, I said, it was like a mental reset.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: You could think of this new moon, this super new moon,
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: as almost like an emotional reset, because those who are
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: closest to us, they those connections are so deeply felt
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: by us, they're so significant and impactful to us. So
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: it really can be an emotional reset of sorts by
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: acknowledging them how they make us feel and making that known. Okay,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: another thing great in this energy is self care. All right,
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: So moving right along on July twenty second until August
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: twenty second, now the sun is going to move out
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: of the archetypal mother cancer and into that solar intelligence
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: of Leo. It is going to be Leo's season. So
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: this is the energy where we've done all of that
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: deep dive into how we feel and our connections, our emotions,
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: our family, our home, blah blah blah, and imagine that
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: we really do allow ourselves to be nourished, to be held,
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: to be healed, to be activated in that balm of
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: love at the beginning of the month. Then that will
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: inspire you to feel the illumination of your own personal power.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: This is where like imagine literally the transition from night
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: to day. So imagine in nighttime under the light of
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: the moon, where we bathe under the moon, allow things
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: to release, allow ourselves to feel, allow the tears to flow,
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: almost like this kind of just a healing chain or
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: under the light of the moon. And it's kind of
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: ritualistic preparing you so that you feel this fullness of
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: life even after you rest and sleep, and then you
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: awake renewed and refreshed in the rising sun. And now
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: you are ready, you are capable of the embodiment of
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: the fullness of your light. That's the invitation of Leo.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: After we exit cancer season, so the sun is moving
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: into Leo. The illumination of our personal power, our creativity.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: LEO is so passionate. It's generosity of heart. It is
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: the confidence in being seen, being sane, just because why
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: not notice your posture? This is all one of the
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: things I always think of when I started learning about chakras,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: and I realize that if you are slouching, you're literally
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: crouching down on your in internal son, which is the
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: solar plexus. And then if you sit up straight or
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: stand tall, you are allowing the radiance of your internal
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: son to be seen to be felt. It's also seen
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: in your presence. There's a difference of how you are
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: perceived and felt based on your posture. So this energy
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: is that it's an invitation, encouraging us to allow ourselves
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: to be seen. You know, cancer season took us in.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Now this is bringing us back out the questions we
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: want to start asking ourselves during Leos season, which we'll
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: talk about more in August, but now we can have
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: the considerations of what are you even passionate about? What
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: are you passionate about? What do you love? What inspires you,
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: what gives you a feeling of inspiration, what makes you
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: feel creative? If you drop the ideas, projections, the stories
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: of whether you're good at things or not. Get that
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: off the table. What makes you feel good? What are
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: you passionate about? What do you envision when you start
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: talking about creativity. If you could wave a magic wand
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden be creative in one particular way,
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: what would that be? It's coming to say, For example,
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: I am fascinated by singers and musicians. I am neither
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: one of those things, and I don't even try to be,
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: To be quite honest, I don't. If I have free
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: time to do things, there are other things I would
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: rather spend my time learning how to do. But I
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: love musicians and singers, and so it is a big
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: music and of itself is a big part of my life.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: Whether I'm listening to it in the car, I'm listening
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: to it at home. I go to concerts, I go
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: to whatever. So it's intentional to bring my love, my
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: passion of music into my life, even if I'm not
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: the one that is the creator of the music itself.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: I curate my own playlists, and I have playlists based
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: on mood or I have certain ones for when I'm driving,
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: I have certain ones for when I'm cooking or in
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: the shower or whatever. So I still am curating the
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: way that I like to experience music. So I say
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: that to say there may be some things that are
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: you're in relationship to creatively that you may personally touch
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: and build and create yourself, or it could be letting
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: yourself enjoy and be inspired by the creativity that is
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: produced by other people. In either way, you're in relationship
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: to the essence of creativity and recognizing what that does
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: to you, the aliveness that it lets us feel. I'm
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: recording this before July because I will be traveling again.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: I've been traveling back and forth to my family recently,
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: but in June I had an opportunity to go see
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: my little cousin perform. He is a traveling musician, meaning
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: that he performs with different artists, and he's an amazing guitarist,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: and so he happened to be performing for someone who
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: was having a concert in San Diego, and because he
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: was here, of course I went. I didn't know the artists,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: I didn't know the person the opening act, I knew
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: none of their songs, and then the main person, I
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: didn't think I knew her songs. But I did end
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: up knowing too. But in either case, all of the
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: music was incredible. All of the music was incredible, So
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: being there immersed in the music itself was like electrifying,
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: and hearing the excitement of the people in the crowd
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: was just like, ah, it felt so good. And my
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: friend and I were right at the very front, very
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: very like we were at the front. It was standing
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: room only, and we were at the very front, and
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: I could feel behind me, like when people were screaming
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: all the excitement, it was like it was pouring in
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: through the back of my body, and I was like, wow,
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: this is incredible energetically speaking, to be in a space
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: where people were just so passionate, happy, and excited for
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: the music, so much so that there were a few
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: girls behind me who were shorter than me, and one
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: of the songs that the artists began to sing, they
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: were losing their minds, and so I invited them to
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: stand in front of me. I was like, listen, you
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: were really excited about that. Do you want to come
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: to the front because you are really really excited. But
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: I say that to say sometimes it's just the exposure
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: to what we love and paying attention to what you're
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: passionate about how it actually makes you feel. Yeah, this
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: is a beautiful month to be more consciously aware of that.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: That's that vitality of the sun. That's life giving joy, passion,
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: it's life giving energy that activates our own internal flame.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: What does that for you? What feeds that in? You?
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: Make room for that this month. Okay, So on the
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: twenty third of July, mercury will station direct, so we
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: will be coming out of that retrograde. So before it
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: moves forward entirely, there's going to be you know, there's
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: a transitional period. It's not just like it's retrograde then
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden the energy just flips on a dime.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: Everything is transitional, as I always share with you, right,
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: So as it stations direct before technically moving forward again,
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: there's going to be clarity now around these things that
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: we were reflecting on during cancer season. So maybe you
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: were really feeling into the innermal self again around family, home,
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: sense of safety, your emotions, whatever came up since the
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: end of June, since June twenty ninth, from that time
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: until now now, the clarity will come. So I say
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: that to say this is also a reminder that sometimes
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: when things aren't clear to us and we try to
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: force clarity, we actually cause more frustration, more congestion in
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: our mind. Sometimes you just have to breathe and be
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: in relationship and observation, allowing things to unfold, allowing different
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: aspects of a situation to become more clear over time,
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: and then consciously choosing how to engage and respond to
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: what comes to light. So now in this energy, now
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: we're moving into that clarity. So now you will have
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: this consideration of how will you personally move forward or
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: now what are you ready to heal as it comes
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: to these themes and ideas around family, home, emotion, safety,
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: all of these things. What's your plan to move forward
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: in a way that is supportive of you? All right,
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: we're almost done here on the twenty sixth of July,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: all the way until March twenty sixth of twenty twenty eight.
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: The lunar noodes, you may or may not hear a
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: lot about them. Some astrologers will talk about them in
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: your charts, some don't. I think it depends on the
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: type of astrology they practice. But essentially the nodes were
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: most recently in Pisces and Virgo, so they're always in
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: opposing signs, which puts them on a particular axis where
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: they're moving out of the Pisces Virgo axis and into
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: the Aquarius Leo axis. So just side note pause on
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: your own personal chart, your north and south nodes are
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: in whatever signs they are in. But now, because of
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: this transition that that's happening, people born at this time,
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: they will have their nodes in Aquarius and Leo. But
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: for us collectively, the impact is we are collectively now
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: moving into the influence of the axis of Aquarius and
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: Leo based on the nodes, So this really kind of
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: amplifies for us, especially with Aquarius being the north node
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: and Leo being the south node. This is an energy
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: that is going to bring awareness around where we may
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: have been functioning and kind of self centered ways, where
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: we may have been functioning from ego, where we may
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: have been obsessed with self recognition like me, me, me,
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: me me, I need eyes on me, I need recognition,
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: I need the applause, I need the acknowledgement, but in
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: a very kind of almost like a like needing validation
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: or acknowledgment to fulfill some sense of worth or value collectively,
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: we're being called to move more away from that and
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: more into that aquarian essence of now we need to
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: bring and be okay with more illumination, more priority from
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: I to we to the collective. So this is the
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: kind of energy that invites us to have more awareness
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: around what is our engagement relationship to community, to not
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: just me but to we. Right, So what is my
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: role in community? What are my contributions? Do I do
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: anything that is not just about me? Am I motivated
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: by anything that is not just to support or benefit
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: myself but to benefit others as well. This doesn't mean
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: that you become like a martyr and then all of
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: a sudden you're like, oh, I mean nothing, It's not that.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: Remember this is a Leo Aquarius axis. And remember I
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: told you earlier the polarity between two opposite ends of
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: any poll, there's a medium. So we still learn from
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: the intelligence of Leo and having a sense of pride
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: and self worth and self value. Absolutely, but at the
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: same time time we can also acknowledge the value the
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: importance of the collective of we both exist. Being concerned
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: with the collective doesn't diminish your value and valuing yourself
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean that you need to devalue the collective. That's
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: the lesson that we're all going to be brought into
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: during this nodal shift. So just notice whatever your personal
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: patterns are around what I just said. All right now,
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: the last event that I am going to mention astrologically
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: speaking for this month is on July twenty ninth. On
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: July twenty ninth, I feel like we've been talking about
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: conjunctions quite a bit. Maybe there's only been two, I
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: don't know, but anyway, the Sun is going to be
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: conjunct Jupiter in the sign of Leo. Not just in
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: bed together, but this is called a kazimi where they're
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: so close that it's literally like imagine the planet Jupiter
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: is at the center of the Sun where it really
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: is being empowered in like a supercharge of illumination from
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: the Sun and like this this really big activation of
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: Jupiter that makes this day considered one of the luckiest
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: days of the year. Why because Jupiter is considered a
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: very lucky planet. They consider this planet to be a
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: planet of good fortune. It is the planet that expands
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: whatever it touches. Listen, and that could be good or bad,
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: but it expands whatever it touches, and it's considered again
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: like this expansion of consciousness or freedom. This it's in
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: relationship to truth. I mean, it's beautiful, beautiful energy. But
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: imagine that one of the luckiest days of the year
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: astrologically speaking, what will you do? What will you expand
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: in consciousness? I would say, be very intentional of what
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: you are focusing and directing your mind to in this energy,
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: especially with the potential that the sun could expand the
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: essence the frequency of whatever it is you're focusing on. Now,
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: balance in all things. Don't become obsessed, don't attach, don't cling,
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: don't drive yourself crazy and thought about something, but rather
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: allow the freedom, the awareness of acknowledging. I am in
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: right alignment, I am in right mind. Chant a couple mantras,
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: whatever it is that allows you to feel in the
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: expression of something without being all consumed by it or
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: attaching or clinging. So the other interesting thing is on
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: this day we have the full moon in Aquarius. Now,
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: when the moon is full, I call it the Queen
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: of the month. When the moon is full, the sun
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: and moon are in opposite signs. So here we have
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: that Aquarius Leo axis. Again, just like we just spoke
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: about with the nodes, the full moon in Aquarius, on
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: this axis we can think of again Leo self, Aquarius community.
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: But where do the two meat. So I would say
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: that this moon is a great way of not just
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: amplifying the themes of Aquarius, but again the sun will
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: be in Leo, so that is a very potent consideration
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: as well. In fact, that is what is illuminating this
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: Aquarian moon. So where do the two meet? Have some consideration,
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: some reflectiveness around your relationship to self, how confident you
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: feel in being seen, being known, and if you have
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: any resistance, any fear of doubt or worry about that. Okay,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: why where does it come from? Is there anything you
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: can do to challenge yourself, to put yourself out there? Anyway?
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: It's reminding me of the perfect example of this lunation.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: I've told you all this before, but I was very
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: at least my story was that I was shy. What
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: I didn't understand is I was very sensitive to energy,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: and because I was so empathic and I didn't know
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: how to manage my own energy, I didn't like being
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: around a lot of people, especially not strangers, and I
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: just tended to function as an introvert. When I started
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: practicing reggio meditation, my ideas, my understanding around energy began
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: to change, and even my way of functioning in my
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: body and my life, all of that started to change.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: But an inspiration that came in was to do a podcast,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: because back then twenty thirteen, there weren't a ton of
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: reiki podcasts the way there are now. A lot of
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: people say Reiki Radio was the first. I don't know,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: maybe it was, at the very least it was one
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: of the first, and that was part of my inspiration
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: because back then there really wasn't as much accessibility or
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: content around being a practitioner of reiki as there is today,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: and thank goodness, there is more now. But back then
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: you could get books from authors and teachers, but you
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: didn't really have many voices of practitioners or people sharing
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: authentically and vulnerably with their experiences were in going through
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: the processes of healing. So I wanted to talk about it.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: I thought, what I am experiencing and encountering in this
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: work of rakeil and meditation is different than what I
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: had been told. Everyone told me I was like so spiritual,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: which meant rainbows, rainbows and butterflies, and that wasn't true.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: That was only part of the story. No one told
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: me what the experience would be like once healing was
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: really initiating. So I thought, I need to do a podcast,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: even though I had never listened to one before. I
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: need to do a podcast to have this conversation, to
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: share what I am going through and share with whoever
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: might listen, what is helping me through this process of healing,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: and let's just be real honest about what the hell
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: this looks like. That was one idea and inspiration, But
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: on the other side of the fence, I was still
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: afraid of being seen and being heard and all of
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: those things connected to my pattern of living like an introvert.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: The only reason I actually record and started and doing
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: the podcast now is because back then, my desire to
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: connect with community had to be more important than my fear. Yeah,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: putting myself out there. There was a possibility I was
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: gonna get judged and criticized in all kinds of blah
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: blah blah, and it has happened, okay, But I had
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: to make it more important, like whatever was most important
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: to me, which was connecting with other people and helping
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: other people recognize that they weren't doing their practices wrong,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: or their spirituality wasn't wrong because they hit a healing
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: crisis or something. I just wanted to talk about it.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: That was important to me. Community was important to me.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: I am an Aquarius and I am Aquarius rising. But
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: because I am that and that part, community was so
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: loud and important, I had to lean into the opposite,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: my sister Leo, to activate the confidence of me being
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: seen and heard. I'll tell you guys, I didn't want
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: to do it. I did not want to do it,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: but it was the only way I could do it.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: So I literally had to honor my aquarian nature and
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: way to be supported by my opposite Leo and say
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: bring it on in Leo, help me help myself. That's
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: what this full moon is asking. While you can have
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: some reflection and consideration around your role, who you are,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: how you allow yourself to be seen or not, how
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: is that in relationship with the potential of how you
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: are in relationship with community groups out there? How can
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: you use your illumination to be a support and encouragement
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: of benefit in any way to someone or something outside
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: of yourself? You might already do it. Now Listen, this
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: is not This is not to say you're not You
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: may already be doing it, but we stop to reflect,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: to have consideration, because whether we're able to do it
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: or not, or we are doing it or not, we
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: can still evolve and do it in a more authentic
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: way or a more expansive way. So, if you, like me,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: have trouble with either side of this fence, this is
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: a beautiful invitation of reflecting on yourself and seeing what
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: do you need to lean into in order to understand
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: the expression the unification of this axis between Aquarius and Leo.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: If you're someone who's already doing this, humble yourself, take
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: a breath, and just ask, could I do this in
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: a more expansive way? So I need to make any
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: adaptations to this? Is it time to evolve in the
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: way that I may be sharing myself and being seen
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: or supporting? Maybe there is just ask the questions, and
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: like we were saying in cancer season, don't overthink it.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: Throw the question out there, relax into yourself, and notice
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: over a week or so if any inspirations ideas just
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: seem to drop in out of nowhere, If your intuition
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: starts to speak, bringing you clarity, acknowledge it, write it down. Yeah.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: So we have so many beautiful opportunities of learning this month,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: as we always do. What will support you and being
• 1:06:45

  Speaker 1: you understand differently? Aren't you having fun experiencing things differently
• 1:07:22
