I’ve been sitting with a bit of a mystery this week, where words / images / feelings related to “cocoon” or “birth canal” will pop into my consciousness during meditation or daily life, as if I needed reminding that I’m in a hermit phase. I go into these phases periodically, Read more…
A couple days ago I posted an image of a circumpunct, the symbol of a circled dot given to me in my Akashic Records a few years ago, along with the guidance that I needed to be much more focused on centering. This winter when the spiral cycle of the Read more…
So let’s say life has given you an opportunity to shake things up a bit and find new ways of showing up in the world. Maybe this looks like more self determination in how you work. Maybe this looks like a total break from work. However it is for you, Read more…
