Hello,
And welcome to The Collective Pulse for the week of May 25th.
I am recording this on Tuesday.
We had a holiday yesterday.
Let us dive in together.
So closing our eyes,
We are going to read the energy of what we Most serves for leaders building the new world,
To know for this week.
Like I see I'm looking this way and there's one person here and one person here and they're really focused intently on the chessboard.
And it's like the final moves are being placed to get into checkmate.
And the two people are the past version of us and the future version of us.
One we've known we always have been and the one we know we came here to become.
And they're intently focused on what's happening on the chess board.
So why would I see that at this time?
We're in a really powerful month astrologically,
Energetically.
I mean,
I feel like we always are,
But it especially seems to be so this week.
We have a blue moon this month.
We had a full moon on the 1st,
Full moon in Scorpio,
And we have a full moon on the 31st,
A full moon in Scorpio.
Sagittarius.
In the middle we had a Newman and Torres.
And so I feel like we had this opening of information,
Of truth,
Of consciousness.
This grounded New Moon in Taurus to help us really embody and integrate the truth and stand in our power.
And now we have this full moon in Sagittarius,
Which is into freedom,
Adventure,
The next expression of ourselves.
Traveling consciousness physically however we travel.
And two in one month happens every two and a half to three years with the full moons.
It's not super rare,
But it's not all the time.
And I think all of this put together.
Is helping us to break free.
Of old beliefs,
Old mindsets,
Old limitations,
Old ways that we have thought leaders need to be leading,
Old worlds in the ways that old leaders would lead them.
Breaking out into this new paradigm and And it's an inner negotiation that happens.
With our mind,
It's like our soul already knows,
Our soul knows who we came here to be.
Even if we don't consciously remember,
Our soul holds that coding,
That frequency steady inside of ourselves.
So we know.
But then our body has to acclimate to that,
Which is why so much is coming up with nervous system regulation right now and embodiment practices and tools,
Breath work,
You know,
Ways to yoga to be in our body,
To feel steady and comfortable in our body.
But the mind is often the place where we.
.
.
We just loop,
We just stay in the same familiar pattern.
And we don't have to.
Meditation is a bridge that allows us to listen to the soul and visualize and expand what is possible with our minds and give our minds a rest.
And then our minds need to take that new information and.
.
.
And act on it.
Keep us accountable to it,
The mind's greatest enemy.
Gift or role is to be the doer for the soul,
To be the organizer,
The record keeper,
The taskmaster for the soul.
So that the soul is saying,
Here's the things to do.
And the mind is like,
You said we need to do this.
We've got to remember to do this.
But in the density of this human experience.
And the fear of this human experience and the limitations.
The mind can loop off into other places and get stuck in old systems,
Old beliefs,
Can see the evidence around and not want to listen to the soul in the same way.
And so this message for leaders is this reminder that you have this knowing,
This soul wisdom inside.
And the mind is the.
.
.
I want to say the servant,
The worker for the soul.
The mind is the.
.
.
Facilitator.
Bringing it into fruition,
Into reality.
So the message this week in the game of chess is that the old version of you is the conditioning,
The programming,
The what's familiar,
The evidence.
The new version of you who wants to emerge is the future version of you who has already is already living what you know you came here to be.
Checkmate.
Like,
What do we do?
Do we keep listening to the old?
Or do we trust?
You'll feel it in your body.
It's like,
I want this.
I want this to be what leads.
I have lots of resources if you're stuck in this place.
The meditation for the full moon in Sagittarius will be uploading this week,
So you'll be able to listen to that.
It is a powerful,
Beautiful time with a rare full moon,
Blue moon this weekend.
Checkmate.
Okay,
So much love.
