Hello friends and welcome to the April 2022 soul download.
Towards the end of each month,
I get out my journal,
I do some meditation,
And I just ask my soul,
Soul,
What do we collectively need to know for those of us on a spiritual journey to thrive in the month ahead?
And then I write down what comes through and share that and a meditation with you.
Before I get into today's message and the meditation,
I want to share some helpful tools that you might like to accompany this journey with you.
First of all,
If you have stones or crystals,
I want to recommend a cleansing stone like a selenite or a Himalayan pink salt,
Any kind of cleansing stone.
And then as well a calming stone.
So if you happen to have agate,
Any kind of agate,
Or even aquamarine,
Or even amethyst,
A calming stone would be nice.
And then so we can make this as multi-sensory as possible,
We're gonna work with some aromatherapy.
I have some white sage essential oil that I love.
It helps me cleanse,
Clear,
Release emotions,
Dense energies.
But you can also work with any kind of floral or citrus essential oil to lighten the energy as well.
I have a blend called Release that I will be working with that helps me to let stuff go.
And the reason we want to let stuff go today is because overall the energy has been super,
Super dense in the world.
Maybe not for everyone,
But the world energy has been very dense and intense.
And I know for so many people that I work with,
The energy has been dense and intense.
Almost like trying to swim through swamp mud.
So I want to get into the message that came through from my soul for our collective.
And this is what it said.
The energies are quite dense now.
You may be tempted to think of this as a negative thing.
Or you may be fighting against the density.
Humanity and the earth herself are going through birthing pains.
Do you choose water birth,
Surrounded by candlelight,
Soft music,
And supportive loved ones?
Or do you choose for your experience to be hospitals,
Needles,
Stark lighting,
And no comforts?
It is a choice and you hold the power to make that choice.
The baby will be birthed one way or another.
This baby symbolizes a life like you've never known it before,
With a completely new and different consciousness.
You can resent the new energies and lament the way things used to be.
Or you can shed the old energies and emerge into a life better than you possibly could have imagined with the previous consciousness you had.
There is no going back.
The more you fight these temporary birthing pains,
The more you suffer.
The more you allow yourself to feel the feels,
The more you can ride it all like a surfer on the ocean waves.
Do the waves drown you?
Or do you let them carry you into shore?
So that is our message for the month.
Yes,
The energy is dense and if you have been feeling it,
You are by no means alone.
We all understand what the density feels like.
It's hard.
It's frustrating.
It's not been fun.
Even just getting my computer set up to come up and record this has been dense and challenging.
But I do want to offer the chance to you to work with some of these tools.
So if you happen to have one of those aura or energy clearing sprays like White Sage,
I want to invite you to just close your eyes,
Spray,
And breathe in the cleansing.
Maybe take some exhales through the mouth.
Let it go.
And then if you're working with a floral or citrusy essential oil,
I want to encourage you to place some on the palm of your non-dominant hand.
We can swirl that hand clockwise three times,
Which helps to energetically activate the essential oil.
And then we can lovingly just swipe across the forehead from temple to temple,
Back and forth a few times.
Beautiful.
When you are done,
If you happen to have stones,
I want to invite you to go ahead and hold the calming stone in your non-dominant hand.
So if you're left-handed,
Hold your calming stone in your left hand.
I'm sorry,
Right-handed.
If you are right-handed,
Hold your calming stone in your left hand.
And then let's hold our selenite,
Himalayan pink salt,
Any other cleansing stone in our dominant hand.
Then let's go ahead and get ready for a meditation.
If you don't have stones or essential oils,
Don't worry.
You're gonna be fine doing this meditation without them.
With your eyes closed,
I want to take one big collective clearing breath.
I have never given birth.
I can only imagine how intense that must be.
But I've always heard breathing is very important in that.
Breathing is very important in any difficult,
Challenging thing we do.
So let's take a nice big inhale through the nose.
Fill up the belly with breath.
Big releasing sigh out the mouth.
We're gonna continue to breathe that way for a few more breaths.
And we're also going to incorporate our stones.
I do invite you to leave your eyes closed for this portion.
If you'd like to have that cleansing stone in the dominant hand,
The calming stone in the non-dominant hand.
As you breathe in through your nose,
Out through your mouth,
I want you to scan your body and notice where do you feel the energy of anger,
Resistance,
Frustration,
Fear,
Resentment,
Bitterness,
Any dense emotion.
Where is that energy hanging out in your body?
Once you've identified a place or places within your body where there's a lot of dense energy stored,
I'd like you to take a deep breath.
Draw from your calming stone where your non-dominant side.
Calming energy,
Peace.
Receive it in through your non-dominant hand.
Send it to the part of the body that's dense and intense.
And as you exhale through the mouth,
Send the density into the cleansing stone in your right hand.
If you don't have a stone,
Just send it out through your right hand and release it.
Deep inhale through the nose.
Draw in calming energy through the left hand.
Big sigh out the mouth,
Sending any dense energy out through your right hand or non-dominant hand.
Deep breath in as you draw calming energy from your non-dominant hand.
Big sigh out the mouth.
Release dense energy out through your dominant hand.
And one more time,
Big cleansing inhale through the nose.
Big cleansing exhale through the mouth.
Now with your eyes still closed,
I invite you to let your breath come in through the nose and out through the nose.
And I'd like you to imagine that you find yourself in a swamp.
You put on boots to come into the swamp because you knew it would be muddy.
But the mud was deeper and denser than you expected.
And so as you are trudging through the swamp,
You find that you are sinking deeper and deeper.
So much so that the mud is starting to come in over the tops of the boots,
Down your ankles,
Down to your feet.
And it just is so frustrating.
And you're trying so hard to lift one leg at a time up out of the mud.
But only to find yourself sinking deeper and deeper and deeper.
The more you try,
The more you fight the mud,
The deeper you sink.
Frustration.
Feeling stuck.
Feeling the gross density of all of it.
I'd like you to imagine that in the midst of this moment,
Covered in mud,
Sinking and frustrated,
You stop.
You breathe slow and deep and steady.
When you stop to breathe,
You are no longer sinking deep.
Oh,
You're still in the mud,
But you are not sinking any deeper.
And I'd like you to imagine very slowly,
Very gently,
You lift one leg out of one boot,
Abandon the boot,
And always buy new ones.
And then you pull the other leg out of the other boot,
Without the boots.
Oh,
It's muddy,
But you're actually not sinking.
You're able to lift one leg at a time,
Walking towards solid ground.
And as you get to that solid ground,
And you feel your feet on terra firma,
Firm soil,
Dry earth,
You find yourself in a new place,
A new energy.
With your eyes closed,
I want you to just imagine,
Feel,
Visualize.
What is it like in this new place?
In this new energy?
What does your soul have in store for you here?
Where you've exited the swamp is not the same place as where you entered the swamp.
Everything is new and different than before.
And this new energy requires a new mindset,
A new approach that you can create and manifest faster,
Easier,
So much better than you could before.
Feel the lightness of what it's like to be out of the swamp,
Out of the mud,
And in a place where the sky is the limit.
When you are ready,
I invite you to open your eyes.
We may still be in the swamp mud right now.
We may still be in it for a little bit longer.
It's not forever.
I promise you that.
But I want you to realize that on the other side of this,
It is different.
The energy is lighter,
Freer than we've ever known before,
If we choose for it to be.
We can choose the path of pain,
Frustration,
And suffering.
Or we can choose to find our inner strength and inner power,
Which isn't about physically fighting,
Struggling to survive,
But about learning how to create,
Manifest,
And thrive from the infinite soul power within.
This is our life lesson now,
Both individually and collectively.
How do we know who we truly are and create from our true soul power?
This is the journey.
This is the discovery.
And as we learn this,
Life is so much better than we could have ever imagined it before.
Thank you for joining me on this meditative soul download journey.
I look forward to sharing so much more with you in the future.
