BONUS: The Struggle Doesn't Equal Abundance: Arcturian Wisdom for August 2025

The universe is calling us toward lightness, and the Arcturians are here to guide the way. This profound channeling delivers timely wisdom for navigating the transformative eclipse season ahead, reminding us that our bodies are preparing for a significant energetic shift.

Are you feeling the physical symptoms of this cosmic upgrade? Fatigue, aches, congestion, and lightheadedness aren't random – they're signs your body is shedding density to embrace higher frequencies. This message arrives with perfect timing, whether you're listening in August 2025 or another moment; you're exactly where you need to be.

The Arcturians reveal a fundamental truth: everything misaligned with your highest purpose must now be recognized and released. This isn't about painful sacrifice but conscious evolution. That relationship, job, habit, or belief system you've outgrown but cling to through familiarity? It's becoming increasingly uncomfortable because it cannot accompany you into the new earth consciousness emerging. The beautiful promise they offer is that anything truly meant for you will return in an improved form after you create space through release.

Perhaps most revolutionary is their insight about abundance and struggle. We're moving beyond the paradigm where pushing harder equals greater rewards. In the emerging Age of Aquarius, prosperity flows not from exhaustion but from authentic alignment. There's enough abundance for everyone – the struggle isn't a prerequisite for wealth, wellness, or fulfilling relationships.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Arcturian Channeling for August 2025.
Whether you are listening tothis in August of 2025 or a
different time, it's the righttime for you.
Your energy One is not betterthan the other.
You are here listening to it atthe right time for you.
As august begins and as you gointo this energy with the lion's
gate portal 8-8, you are movingand preparing your body, your
mind, body connection, your mindbody soul connection for

(01:40):
eclipse season, which ishappening rather than a month
ahead from where you are at thistime that you are doing this
channeling.
These are just times.
Time is not linear.
These are times that we aretelling you that you are on your
planet at this current time,but everything is happening at
the same time all the time, asyou know in your spiritual

(02:01):
teachings.
So, to fully understand whereyou are, what you're doing,
what's happening we've said thistime and time again, time and
time again, and we know we donot get tired of saying this
because this is a pivotal pointon the abundant moving forward
for you and everyone on theplanet we had to find the right

(02:27):
words to say that this is thepivotal point for Earth moving
forward.
So, when we repeat the samething over and over and over
again.
We do not tire of saying thesame thing.
We do not get upset that youare not listening.
We do not get upset and thinkyou're not listening.
None of that.
We just simply want to say thesame thing over and over and

(02:49):
over again so that youunderstand the importance of
what is happening and to bestprepare you.
So let us tell you it's muchlike when you're giving advice
to a friend or you're tellingsomeone something and they don't
particularly see that they'relistening or that it resonates
or whatever.
But you know you planted theseed.
So months later, days later,weeks later, years later, when

(03:12):
they go ahead and they aremaking a decision, that seed
that you planted is within, sothey're able to use that while
they are using their discernmentand their understanding of
creating and deciding what theirnext move is.
That is simply what ishappening and simply what we are

(03:33):
doing as well.
So with that, you are movinginto an energy of eclipse season
where anything that is not inalignment for your highest good,
your highest purpose, your soul, evolution and your highest
self needs to be brought to thesurface, to be realized,
integrated, healed or released.
Those are the things.
That is what is happening.
So this can be anything from thesmallest thing of what food

(03:53):
you're eating, how you'resleeping, your sleep schedule,
to your job, to yourrelationship, to your purpose,
to your higher power.
This is literally everythingwrapped up in one.
It's not compartmentalized,it's not that, oh, this is about
your job, and if your home lifeis not okay, it's fine.
You can just continue to moveforward and forward, and forward
.
That's not how this goes.

(04:14):
Everything needs to be inalignment so that you are
healthy, wise and moving forwardand also pulling the collective
forward as you are movingforward with this new
integration.
And it's not going to feel likea struggle, it's not going to
feel pain, it's not going tofeel that it is too intense to

(04:34):
move forward in this way,because what you are doing now,
and what you've been doing for awhile, is that you have been
acclimating your actual physicalbody to move forward in this
way.
So that means you've beenhaving your cellular upgrades,
you've been doing youroxygenating of your body and
your blood, you've beenadjusting and moving into this

(04:57):
new, lighter body, rather thanthe dense body that you were
born with, the dense body that'sbeen around for quite some time
, that you were born with thedense body that's been around
for quite some time.
Your energy is moving into thislighter energy, this aura
energy, this auric energy.
So with that, you cannot takethe heavy baggage with you and
you know what.
You don't need the heavybaggage.

(05:17):
It's part of who you were, notpart of where you are moving and
where you are going to, part ofwhere you are moving and where
you are going to, and we don'teven think or believe or know
that you need to dive in and digand really mine for what this
is.
You're really going to realizeit very quickly and apparently,

(05:39):
what needs to be released andwhat is beautiful and able to
come with.
So it's not that you need tomake these lists and know that,
okay, this is the day and thisis what's leaving and this is
what's coming and this is what'sgoing.
Go back to your inner truth andpeel the layers to find that
authentic person inside of youand the authenticity.

(06:02):
Only authentic, aligned thingsbeings, ideas, matches will be
able to move forward with you.
It's all a natural progression.
If you feel struggle and painand pressure and anguish, you
are holding on to something thatdoes not need to come with you

(06:25):
into the new earth, into theearth you are moving and
evolving to, into this new eraof lightness.
And, as we started, we've saidthis time and time again.
We don't tire of saying thisbecause it is a very pivotal
part of the human experience.
Right now on earth, you arebeing asked to release the

(06:47):
things that no longer serve you,to keep the things that you
need to move forward and to moveforward with confidence.
So part of this is going to bereleasing, caring about what
other people think of youreleasing, caring about what
your parents wanted you tobecome and move into and that
you were trying to grow to tomake them proud.

(07:08):
It's about releasing statusquos and social norms.
It's about releasing what youbelieve you should be doing.
It's about releasing any toxicbehaviors you're doing that are
keeping you small and keepingyou from expanding and keeping
you from opening up and havingthese experiences.

(07:29):
So this is really aboutaligning with that most
authentic place and part of youand being unapologetic for being
that person and not in a waythat you are being rude.
You know to some it might comeoff in that way because their

(07:49):
own healing is happening ontheir own timeline, but this is
happening for you, so that youcan evolve and grow, so that you
are healing those years beforeyou and after you, timelines of
your lineage, after you,timelines of your lineage.

(08:14):
That's why it can feeldifficult to release and
difficult to move into this newenergy of you.
You are you.
You are meant to be yourself.
You are not meant to pleaseothers.
You are not meant to go withthe flow.
You are not meant to dosocietal norms meant to go with
the flow.
You are not meant to dosocietal norms.
You are being lied to on many,many, many different ways that

(08:37):
you need to fit into a box andbe alike.
Otherwise you're the outcastand people will make fun of you
and people will make you feelbad and you'll feel lower
emotions.
That's not what is meant to be.
Actually, when you're differentand you shine, that's when you
inspire others to be differentand shine and then no one is
made fun of and it doesn'tmatter, because everyone is
shining their light and beingauthentic and being different in

(08:58):
their own way and growing inthat way so that they can shine
their own life, purpose, light,authenticity for themselves,
their lineage and moving thecollective forward.
So we say all of this now,because in August you might feel
the stretching of your body,the purging on your body, the

(09:23):
pains, the aches, the fatigue,the congestion, the
lightheadedness, anything thatmight feel that your body is
just trying to get lighter,lighter, lighter, lighter,
lighter, lighter, lighter,lighter, so you can get into
this new energy during eclipseseason and fully step into who

(09:44):
you are.
Yes, a lot of stepping into whoyou are is stepping into and
doing things you've beenprocrastinating on being seen
pushing through fear and doingit anyway.
Yes, all those things.
But a big part of that, now andthrough eclipse season, is you

(10:06):
releasing the things season.
Is you releasing the thingsthat are just not working, the
thing that you've been tryingtime and time again and you feel
exhaustive, you feel tired, youfeel frustrated, you feel angry
, you feel like you're putting asquare peg in a round hole.
It's just not working.
No, it doesn't have to work.
Release it it, because whateveryou are doing and trying to

(10:28):
make work is going to easilywork for someone else and you
can then release that, cut thecords and move forward into
something new, something bright,something abundant, something
of ease.
Now releasing something, whetherit's a job, a, a relationship,
a home, a city, a way of doing,a habit, could honestly feel

(10:54):
like you're losing an appendage.
It could feel like you want tohold on to that so much because
you are so used to having thepicture of.
You can become so used to thepain that every morning when you
wake up and you have dreadabout your job.
You are so used to that thatthat's kind of a familiar
feeling that you feel very cozywith, which sounds silly from an

(11:18):
outside observer, but that'sjust what feels right in your
nervous system.
So right now, your nervoussystem is working in tandem with
your body to expand.
You create this lightness.
That's why you might feel theseaches, these pains, congestion,
purging, etc.
Because you are getting readyto move into that next level.
And we promise you, if yourelease something, cut the cords

(11:41):
, move forward into whatever itis that you're moving forward to
that feels light and airy.
If that thing you released ismeant for you, it will come back
in a better way.
It will come back in a betterway.
We want to repeat that Releaseit now if it's not working and
bringing you that light and youfeel, do you feel like your best

(12:03):
self right now, doing whateverit is that you're doing in the
city, in the job, in therelationship with your habits,
do you feel like your best self?
Now we know you're human,you're going to indulge, you're
going to do things that make youfeel alive and as a human, we
get that.
But just in the grand scheme ofthings, let's say 80% of the
time, do you feel fulfilled,happy, exuberant, like you are

(12:24):
your best self.
And if the answer is no release, exuberant like you are your
best self.
And if the answer is no releaseand it might be scary to jump
to the other side, to release,but we promise you, when you
release and create that spacefor something new to come in,
the newness that comes in isgoing to feel like it was always
meant to be there, that it wasalways there and that it's
effortless.

(12:47):
Moving into this soft life ofabundance.
You're moving into the age ofAquarius.
This is not the age of push,push, push, struggle, struggle,
struggle and then feel thepennies start to peel in slowly
with the harder you work.
That's not the energy.
There is enough wealth andabundance on this planet for
everyone to be a billionaire.
We want you to know that, foreveryone to be a billionaire.

(13:13):
We want you to know that andit's about releasing and
believing that, because you canwork three hours a week and make
a million dollars a week, moneyis just energy.
So we want you to know itdoesn't have to be the struggle.
The struggle does not equalabundance.
The struggle does not equalwellness.
The struggle does not equalhealth.
Abundance, the struggle doesnot equal wellness.

(13:33):
The struggle does not equalhealth.
The struggle does not equalprosperity.
The struggle does not equalhappy relationships.
Do you see there like, do yousee from all spiritual teachers
that you've heard, what you putenergy towards expands and comes
back to you like a boomerang.
So if you're in struggle mode,what makes you think struggle
mode is going to bring youabundance?
It doesn't Release the strugglemode.

(13:54):
And if you're not ready torelease it, just refocus your
energy on something differentand let it flow on its own.
So let's say you have 80% ofyour time you're giving to a job
that you just really do notfeel passionate about at all.
Start to tip the scales andstart to do something that you
truly, truly enjoy Knitting,painting, running, collaborating

(14:20):
, learning, doing something youlove to do as a child.
Start to put your energytowards that and let the other
thing flow by the wayside andkind of release, because we
bring all this up to you.
We have for the last four tosix channelings and months,
because if you do not release itor just let it go, it's going

(14:42):
to come to a halt.
So that job that you justcomplain about all the time and
you don't love and you don'tenjoy, etc.
But it is that part of you, itis that appendage.
So when you are laid off orfired from that role it's going

(15:03):
to feel like a shock.
So we're preparing you torelease those things that just
don't feel right and create thelightness.
You can also do this in yourhome decluttering, releasing
things that you've been holdingon to and create that lightness
in your home.
Decluttering, releasing thingsthat you've been holding on to
and create that lightness inyour home.
You know about spring cleaningTalk about eclipse cleaning.
Release the home so that itfeels light as you're going into
this eclipse season.
To support you with theseenergies.

(15:23):
We love you.
We love you.
We love you.
We send you light and love.
We're with you all the time.
