As I go to record this podcast, we find ourselves in Big changes all around us… cosmically, politically, and spiritually.  How are you handling it.  Most of us don’t like change. Most of us are caught in the comfort zones of our lives… even when they aren’t helping us to reach out goals, improve our health or create the partnerships we desire. We get lost. We create behaviors that add to it.  We stuff down emotions which become shadows that we hide from.

We have the New Moon coming in  the sign of Aquarius which also ushers in the Chinese New Year… The year of the Wood Snake.

This New Moon energy is going to start speeding things up. As we say in the South… buckle up buttercup… meaning ground your energy to stay centered.

It is a time to take a leap in consciousness. Understand more about your soul energy. Everything you’ve experienced is serving your evolution in some way. It is teaching you something, and even though it may be heart-wrenching, it is helping your Soul evolve one experience at a time.

It’s important to understand that we are in an evolution and change is natural.  How you adapt is a big part of this.  Getting out of your comfort zone and breaking free of your old fears is very important.

As we move through these comic transitions, now is the time to clean up your energy with an energy-clearing session.  Schedule one now.. in person or online. When we work with the energy body, it helps to release the old patterns and all that  old stuff.  Click here.

This work focuses on how you can discover deep healing within your shadow world. In this episode, we talk about shadows and what they are, shamanism, animal totems, and how you can use these tools to recognize, understand, and accept your shadow.
