2026 Selfcare Energy Report

Happy New Year! Are you ready for 2026? This once-a-year sharing looks at each new year not through prediction, but through the lens of what the human system will need in order to stay coherent, compassionate, and sovereign. It's an orientation for staying human, awake, and resourced during times of great change, challenge, and transformation.

Hello,

This is Beth.

Welcome to this 2026 Self-Care Energy Report.

This is a practical,

Spiritual orientation to systemic change.

Not a prediction,

But a preparation.

It's less about the energies that are coming,

More about how to meet them.

The Self-Care Energy Report is a grounded,

Sovereignty-based guide to navigate collective pressure without losing your humanity.

This report looks at 2026 not through prediction,

But through the lens of what the human system will need in order to stay coherent,

Compassionate,

And sovereign.

Let's get started.

I'm sitting here the day after Christmas,

Wanting to share this report with you,

So let's just dive right in,

Shall we?

I'm going to share six areas of life that I see as being pivotal in 2026 to our evolution as a species.

By being aware of these undercurrents,

We can be better poised to face and ride the rather large waves that will rise frequently and threaten to take us under.

Not to scare anyone,

But 2026 will be a year of pressure.

The pressure is necessary.

No diamond is ever formed without pressure.

Actually,

You are already that diamond.

You always have been,

But the pressure is needed to break the exterior,

The egoic hardness that has encased and contained your pure light.

So the first theme is the task of harmonizing.

We are in what some refer to as the great change.

When it comes to our personas,

There will be those that want the old world order to survive,

Who will exert more control and chaos,

Versus those who recognize that we must move forward,

But who will exert an urgent speed and their own brand of chaos as a result.

Either way,

I'm sorry to say,

When it comes to our personas,

Our identities,

There will be the appearance of chaos.

An appearance that feels very real to the characters we play.

However,

While it is often said that we are spiritual beings having a human experience,

This to me always seemed to dismiss,

In some way,

The very real challenges of the human.

We are both human and divine,

Not either or.

We actually must have a foot in both worlds,

Solidly.

So our task is one of harmonizing ourselves with what lies outside duality.

Play the role you must play,

But remember your true nature.

One foot in duality and one foot in the truth of our nature,

Oneness.

The more of us who can root in both,

The less chaos there will be,

And each of us who do will be serving as a bridge across what so many others think is an unbreachable divide.

Harmonize heaven and earth.

The second theme is reclaiming money.

Now here's what I've been learning about money since 2024,

When one of my commitments to myself was to break the scarcity mindset that ran through my ancestral line.

The system is rigged.

The world of finance is one of secrets,

Power plays,

And traps.

The problem is very few people are aware of the ins and outs of finance,

Even many of those who are within it.

We trust our financial advisors just as we trust our doctors,

But we never really ask who taught them,

What biases do they hold,

And what information are they missing.

In 2025's self-care energy report,

One of the suggestions was to invest for abundance.

It didn't necessarily mean investing in stocks or bonds.

It was about investing in this idea of an abundant life and ways that you feel abundant.

If you missed that report or you didn't take the hint then,

There may still be time to start coming to terms with the changes taking place across the world,

And to choose whether you will subject yourself to certain control systems being put in place,

Will be the victim of AI changes,

More of that in a minute,

Or whether you will rise in sovereignty.

Take time in 2026 to learn about the history of money.

It may not sound very fun,

But I assure you it will be enlightening.

Become aware of the systems that were built up around money and what makes a true medium of exchange or store of value.

Most importantly,

Educate yourself about fiat and what happens to it over time again and again.

Don't let yourself be victimized one more year of your life by neglecting or abdicating your financial situation.

While there has been a tendency in spiritual circles to deny or resist money or think that it is somehow unspiritual,

It is essential that we begin to reclaim the spirit of money back from the hands of those who are too ignorant to understand its sacred nature.

Even money can be rescued from the taint of desecration and made sacred again.

Our next theme is AI and so I'm coming back around to it here.

AI can be a wonderful tool.

I've used it to assist me with writing and marketing.

I like to make a distinction though between what I create and what AI creates,

Lest I lose a sense of distinction between my own creative efforts and abilities and those manufactured,

However brilliantly,

By AI.

We can either surrender and lose our humanity to AI or work to understand and cultivate that humanity.

It is most critical that we honor and love what is human now more than ever,

Or we may lose much of our,

As yet,

Untapped potential as human.

There's so much fear associated with AI.

There's no question that it can and it will be used in unscrupulous ways when it serves those who benefit.

But it can also be an incredible boon to life on earth and human advances in medical science,

Education,

And so many other areas.

It comes down to us,

What we allow,

What we believe,

And how much of our uniqueness as humans we give away,

As well as the systems we put in place to regulate it.

We can't wait for current leadership to regulate it for us.

We must regulate our use of it ourselves.

If you use AI for your creative projects,

Own up to it outright.

Disclaim what might be construed as coming from you if it is not,

And be highly skeptical of what is produced by others that may actually have been solely created by AI.

A mere regurgitated mishmash of things that already exist in this world.

Don't be seduced by using AI for anything that relies on human qualities,

Such as friendship,

Romance,

Therapy,

Or spiritual guidance and wisdom.

If you refer to it for these things for feedback or inspiration,

Don't lose your own ability to discern the truth.

Okay,

Our fourth theme is grief and exhaustion.

Many of you may have already been going through loss and therefore grief in these post-pandemic years.

Others will just be starting to more fully engage with such feelings as regret,

Sorrow,

And inexplicable mourning that arises out of nowhere.

It isn't easy,

But grief helps us become more humble and honest.

The tenderness of grief,

If we allow ourselves to feel it,

Makes us more compassionate.

Such heavy energies,

Whether they are ours to feel or simply the energies that surround us,

Will require more time for tender acts of self-care and plenty of rest.

We cannot afford to treat self-care as something we suddenly realize that we've been neglecting.

We must have practices well in place.

Breathwork,

Movement,

Energy work,

Visualization,

Meditation,

Journaling,

Emotional hygiene techniques to support us on a daily basis.

Those self-care practices that we put in place will be essential to our ability to adapt to the ferocity of change.

We're going to need to be very resilient in 2026 and going forward,

So we must step up and into emotional maturity.

Our fifth theme is relating.

When we think of relationships,

We often think of people,

But relating is also how we treat,

Interact with,

And react to everything,

Even ourselves.

For now,

Though,

In terms of peopling,

2026 is going to be calling us to find or be comfortable with new and higher ways of connecting and engaging with others,

Simply because the old ways will feel more and more stale and unfulfilling.

The old ways include small talk and gossip,

Competition,

Lots of noise,

Going along with the crowd,

And unsolicited advice giving.

New ways will require more vulnerability and smaller or online gatherings that include deep listening,

Eye-gazing,

Silence,

And acts of cooperation and shared intending.

Expect some feelings of awkwardness as we begin to relate in these new ways to each other.

We might find ourselves in discomfort and uncertainty.

Remember,

It's more about connecting on a deeper level than the surface,

And it's about being connected to yourself first and others second.

Through this,

We'll begin to understand the true interconnectedness of us all,

And open pathways to deeper forms of communication and unity.

So I'm now going to share with you the prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi.

You may be familiar with it already.

And let's just place our hands in prayer at the heart.

You're welcome to close your eyes.

I'm simply going to read this.

Just take in the words and feel the energy of each sentence.

Settling into your body.

Deep breath.

Lord,

Make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred,

Let me sow love.

Where there is injury,

Pardon.

Where there is doubt,

Faith.

Where there is despair,

Hope.

Where there is darkness,

Light.

Where there is sadness,

Joy.

O Divine Master,

Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console,

To be understood as to understand,

To be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive,

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Deep breath.

This beautiful prayer has endured throughout the ages.

It recognizes certain truths about why we are here.

In 2026,

However,

The simplicity and purity of this prayer has a greater gravitas in a world so very out of balance,

In which self-concern and self-serving has taken center stage.

We all have a role to play in correcting that balance.

It isn't enough to recite this prayer.

We have to live it.

It all comes back to being the light.

And that is the final theme for 2026.

Be the light.

It's not something you need to become.

You already are it.

Soften and shed what occludes it.

Let yourself shine.

I wish you many blessings in 2026.

Reviews

Good stuff Beth. Interestingly enough I wrote down my intention and core values for 2026 prior to listening to your report. Some align with these points.

Life has been busy. I hope to connect without some of your live sessions soon. Shine bright!

Amazing Beth. Thank you.
