Connect to Infinite Possibility
All of life is cultivated around the sun. In this talk we discover the power of the firey energy of the sun within us to support our will power, life purpose and manifestations. We also learn how the sun and element of fire supports our journey of self-discovery when we come into alignment with the seasons of life. Here we use the summer solstice celebration as an example but the same principles can be applied beyond a point in time.
Transcript
Today we're really going to be celebrating the summer solstice and hello from Milwaukee.
Amy,
Hi.
Welcome,
Welcome.
Feel free to say hello.
Let me know where you're tuning in from.
Hi,
Grace.
And as I was saying,
We'll be celebrating the summer solstice together.
So it'll be a mixture of practice and Dharma talk and really understanding the beauty of the solstice,
The magic and the power of the solstice and what it brings to our life,
As well as how that's connected to who we are.
Sometimes I think we join these sessions to really get at that,
You know,
Who am I and what am I here to do?
What am I here to cultivate in the world?
Summer solstice really has this energy of power and fire.
And that's really tied to our willpower and our ability to manifest in the world.
And so we'll be touching a lot on that today and kind of going where I would say the wind or the fire is taking us today.
And so those of you who have connected with me before know that all of my talks are divinely led.
And so oftentimes I don't really know where they're going to lead.
But I do know that they tend to lead to a very magical place.
And whoever is in the room is exactly who needs to be in the room.
And everyone gets what they need.
So at points today,
Feel free to type questions into the chat.
Feel free to share,
You know,
Your experience because we're all here together.
And even if,
You know,
I'm kind of sitting here speaking to you together,
I want you to know that I'm also practicing with you.
I'm also moving through this experience with you.
And so though you may see me as a teacher here today or the role or the hat that I wear today,
I'm really a student.
And I'm an ongoing student of life,
Of the universe.
And so just know that whatever vulnerable feelings you may be feeling or whatever experiences you may move through today,
I'm right there with you.
And so we'll start the talk.
I'll share a little bit more about me.
And we'll start the talk by talking about the sun because that's really our focal point for the summer solstice.
And so my name is Amanda Machado.
And I've talked a little bit about wearing different hats.
And so while I have a name,
I'm a soul having a human experience.
And while I've played many different roles in my life,
I'm an epidemiologist by training.
And so I tend to bring a lot of science and connect science with spirit into the work that I do.
I'm also a teacher of consciousness.
But again,
These are the roles and the hats that I wear in life.
They're not who I am.
And we'll talk a little bit more about that today because I think,
As I was mentioning,
We all want to know who am I and what am I here for?
And so keep that question sort of with you in you.
But also know that it's not something that you need to seek.
It's a way of being and it's your way of being.
And we're going to talk about how to cultivate that today.
And so we'll start with the sun.
So today is in the northern hemisphere.
We have the summer solstice.
And some of you may not be in the northern hemisphere.
Some of you may be in the southern hemisphere where we're having the winter solstice.
And that's totally OK because I think everyone who's in the northern hemisphere in this room today is going to bring that light energy,
That fire,
That those in the northern hemisphere or the southern hemisphere may be needing at this point in their life or this point in your life.
And so just know that if you're not in the northern hemisphere,
That's totally OK.
This talk is still for you in the sense that allow it to bring that light and that extra sun energy into your life.
And those of you who are in the northern hemisphere with me today,
Let's really help to share that light because oftentimes we're here for ourselves,
Of course.
But every time we are accessing our light,
Every time we're connecting to that light within,
We also have that beautiful ability to share that light with others.
And actually,
When we cultivate more of who we are,
That light shines through and just naturally impacts others through our deep,
Deep presence that we have when we walk into a room,
When we're sharing space with other people.
And so we'll talk a little bit about the sun.
So I often like to just,
You know,
Settle in,
Ground into the space.
If it feels comfortable to you,
You can close your eyes.
And I want you to feel supported by the earth.
So I really want this talk,
This practice,
This time together to really ground into the body and really help to cultivate that magical energy that already exists within each and every one of you.
And so nothing I share here today will be nothing new that you don't already know within,
But it might signal for you a remembrance.
And so let's come here to remember together.
So we'll just take a deep breath in through the nose.
Out through the mouth.
Just imagine you,
If you're outside amazing,
If not,
Imagine you're sitting in a grassy field and you're really supported by the earth.
And really start to see what is in your surroundings.
And start to just envision that connection that you have with Mother Earth.
Feel supported by her beneath your sit bones.
If you're standing beneath your feet.
And just feel that connection that you have and her ability to pull any sort of negativity from the body and just refreshing the energy.
So we know energy is neutral,
But through thoughts and emotions,
It can become positive and negative.
And so Mother Earth and our connection to earth and feeling grounded allows us to cultivate that neutral energy again.
So then we get to decide what we want to do with it.
So now that we're in a grounded space,
Let's talk a little bit about the sun.
And I want you to imagine for a moment what life would be like without the sun.
We'd be in complete darkness.
We might feel cold.
The planet might feel lifeless.
And as we know,
Life would cease to exist because we wouldn't have the photosynthesis that we need for our trees.
We wouldn't,
Our plants wouldn't grow.
Plants wouldn't feed the animals and thus us.
Right?
We wouldn't have plants and animals to help sustain us.
And so the sun really warms our planet.
And so the sun really warms our planet and gives life to our planet and gives life to us.
It really is this energetic force.
And also it holds the light codes that can help us awaken to that higher purpose.
That reason why we're all here.
And one of those reasons that we're all here is really to remember who we are.
And also cultivate that higher purpose.
Walking in the light.
Walking in the light.

And so I'm going to take a moment to just kind of walk you through the process of how to cultivate that higher purpose.
And I'm going to walk you through the process of how to cultivate that higher purpose.
And I'm going to walk you through the process of how to cultivate that higher purpose.
And I'm going to walk you through the process of how to cultivate that higher purpose.
And I'm going to walk you through the process of how to cultivate that higher purpose.
And I'm going to walk you through the process of how to cultivate that higher purpose.
And I'm going to walk you through the process of how to cultivate that higher purpose.
And I'm going to walk you through the process of how to cultivate that higher purpose.
It's important to remember that that energy,
That beautiful,
Burning,
Fiery ball of light also exists within us.
Particularly,
This is really tied to our solar plexus.
And so we know the solar plexus,
Manipura,
In Sanskrit.
The solar plexus chakra,
So the third chakra,
Is also associated with the sun and our willpower.
It's how we bring our manifestations into the world.
And when you think about it,
The solar plexus is also connected to the upper world.
So our heart,
Our throat,
Which is connected to our voice.
Our third eye,
Which is connected to our higher vision,
Our psychic abilities.
Our way of seeing the world in the lens of the material,
But also the lens of the spiritual.
And then we have our crown,
Which is really connected to the higher worlds,
Higher consciousness,
The universe,
God,
If you associate a higher power with the word God.
And then we also know we have our lower chakras,
Which is connected to the material world.
And so,
You know,
Our ability to use our creative energy,
Second chakra,
And also our ability to feel safe,
Feel grounded.
We know control is an illusion.
And so what we do is we actually cultivate feelings of control so that we feel grounded in order to move energy through our body,
Ground it to the earth,
And ground our manifestations into this physical reality.
Because as we know,
We're in a physical reality.
And we're a spirit having a human experience.
And so this external light of the sun really helps to support us in times,
Particularly support us in times of darkness.
So if ever you're kind of feeling like I'm having a bad day,
Or I woke up and I just have this feeling,
Right,
That doesn't feel good,
The sun can,
Just going out into the sun can really help to sort of not send us energy per se,
But connect to the energy within to help maybe neutralize some of that negativity or darkness and create the supportive environment that we need to move forward to understand the power of our light.
And so this is a beautiful celebration today that we're having.
And the celebration is really around what have we cultivated in the last six months.
And sometimes the brain wants to go to like,
What are the physical achievements?
And that's okay.
But I invite you to kind of just sit with that question of what have I cultivated in the last six months?
And you can close the eyes or leave the eyes open.
But really,
It's about just taking a moment to pause and to celebrate how far you've come on this journey on this path so far.
And depending on what the last six months has been for you,
In terms of your life path,
It could be different,
Right,
For everybody.
So if the mind is thinking,
You know,
Maybe I haven't cultivated as much as I want,
Perhaps there's a reason for that.
So some of the clues to our life path are actually in like numerology.
So numerology tells us a lot about the cycles in terms of the years that we're in.
So an example would be,
If you're in a year one,
You might be more focused on planting seeds.
Or the last six months may have been about closing a chapter if you're just starting in year one,
Right?
Or if the last six months you were in a year one,
It might have been more about planting the seeds,
Setting intentions,
Starting to walk the path and set the tone for your year and for the next nine years.
However,
Somebody in a year seven may be having a more spiritual experience,
May have had a more spiritual experience in the last six months.
And so while the mind may say,
Well,
What have I done with my time?
The spirit is saying,
I grew,
You know,
I connected in the material world.
I know who I am.
Right?
So what do I mean by year one,
Year seven?
So this is just bringing in some clues to life path.
So within numerology,
You can learn kind of about what year you're in,
What cycle year.
So cycles usually last one to nine years.
And so what I can do either later or if you want to connect with me via the link in my bio,
I can send you a link to how to calculate what year you're actually in.
But the year is kind of tells you sort of the energy that you're in or the energy flow that is either that is going to support you and bring blessings,
But also bring lessons.
And so it's important to know not because it'll stop you from doing anything.
However,
It can create resistance.
So an example would be year seven is a very spiritual metaphysical year where people often take sabbaticals,
Often go more within.
And so it's not maybe the best year to like start a business or start something new.
Whereas year one is more masculine.
I am energy,
More energy of like the summer solstice,
More energy,
More fiery energy to do with the solar plexus.
And so someone in a year one might be more focused on what are my intentions and then how can I use my masculine energy and that presence of I am in order to push those intentions forward.
And so maybe I'll do a whole session on numerology at a later date.
But I would invite you to stay connected with me and also connect to the link in my bio and I can send you a link so you could calculate your year.
And so when we think about the last six months,
It's really about thinking about the space between what was the winter solstice and the summer solstice.
And so winter solstice can bring on what we know winter can bring a lot on in terms of connecting with the spirit of the north.
And so what is the spirit of the north?
And so we know even in our astrological charts,
We have a south node and north node.
And the south node is more about sort of where we've been even past life type stuff.
But also,
You know,
Where we've been.
And then the north node is more about like where we're going.
And what I like to think about when we come to a winter solstice or a summer solstice is like really thinking about what happened over the last six months that we can start to think of,
You know,
Bringing that south and north node together.
And so the north node may have been or the winter solstice may have been our journey to the north where we were reminded of.
And invited to look at some of the shadow or some of the darkness because it's the darkest day of the year.
And just being on the planet cultivates this energy of now is a good time to start looking at the shadows.
Now is a good time to start looking at and bringing your light into those dark spaces that are actually not bad or wrong.
It's actually part of our soul's journey.
Right.
Whereas today is all about that celebration of light,
That celebration of our light in how we've actually moved through those dark spaces in the last six months.
And so.
It's not to say the summer solstice is better than the winter solstice.
But winter solstice can bring up a lot for people.
Winter can bring up a lot for people.
So if there's anyone in the room who is actually going through winter solstice,
I just invite you to be in the light of the energy that we're cultivating here today.
And think about bringing these two poles together into harmony.
And so yoga,
For example,
Is all about unity,
Harmony.
And we think of not necessarily how we can become better at different poses in yoga because asana and movement is actually it's a prelude to how we actually want to be living.
Right.
And so we can think about how do we actually how are we actually bringing what we've learned through our winter journey.
And what we're cultivating in our future together.
Right.
Because we know in life there are blessings and there are lessons.
And throughout different life cycles,
Throughout different years,
We're going to we're here to learn different to see different blessings.
And we're also here to learn different lessons.
And so the interesting thing is sometimes we don't want to learn lessons.
We just want the blessings like show me the blessings.
And the beautiful thing is that as we come closer to who we are and who we came here to be in the world and we start to cultivate that deep,
Deep presence in knowing who we are.
We actually start to see the lessons as blessings as well.
And when we move through those dark periods,
When we come out on the other end,
It's almost like this feeling of gratitude in being able to hold both the energy of grief,
For example,
With the energy of love.
Because we have to remember that we live in a world of duality.
And oftentimes when we're highly conditioned.
It only allows us to see that one side of duality and we can tend to perpetuate that side of duality or we can tend to focus very heavily on that one side of duality,
Whether it be positive or negative.
But when we become more,
I guess you can say,
Enlightened and we allow our light energy to become closely related with our humanity and our willpower.
We're actually able to hold both the energy of what you may what you may think of as negative,
Like so grief and positive love.
Right.
Together.
And that actually makes us more powerful in our ability to manifest our dreams,
To to be confident in our ability to walk the earth as like who we actually are,
Like our true essence.
Oftentimes we associate who we are with the hats that we wear,
Right?
The the titles that we hold of teacher,
Mother,
Friend,
Sister,
Brother.
But that's actually not who we are.
Who we are is like who we are being and has more to do with who we are being.
So it's like a feminine energy.
Whereas the identities and the hats that we wear are more of a masculine energy of the material world that we that we cultivate in order to move things forward.
And so when we think of the summer solstice today,
What I really want us to reflect on and really be in the energy of is this energy of bringing together both the masculine and feminine into our solar plexus or within our willpower.
This energy of bringing our darkness into the light and this energy of really bringing together where we've been with where we're going.
Because we want to reclaim all parts of ourselves,
Right?
The sun energy and the celebration of today allows us to cultivate really that fiery energy that lives in our solar plexus,
Our willpower.
And when we connect with who we are,
We're really connected to that deep presence of I am.
But not and not necessarily of the presence of I want,
Right?
And so oftentimes we can confuse the presence of I am,
Which is the presence of today and the presence of the fire element and the presence of the solar plexus.
Oftentimes we can confuse that presence with I want,
Which is a material world thing.
But because we live in a material world,
We can actually bring the material together with the spiritual and start to develop intentions that are connected to the I am presence that come from the heart and are also connected to the solar plexus,
Which is really our desires in the material world.
Because let's be serious.
We came here to have fun too,
Right?
We came here to self actualize,
Live from our soul,
Really be in the essence of who we are.
But we also came to have fun.
And sometimes those two can come a little out of balance where we're either too focused on the material world.
We're just trying to manifest desires,
Trying to manifest more things.
And things aren't bad.
We don't have to have shame or guilt around them or put that kind of energetic pressure on ourselves.
But we can really hold both.
The important thing I think in today is learning to use that fiery energy of our willpower and feeling that support of the sun to connect us back to those heartfelt intentions.
Right?
And so when we think about our willpower,
It's really about manifestation.
Right?
So today is a lot about manifestation,
Like what we've manifested into our lives,
But also about what we are manifesting.
And when we think about manifestation,
You'll see a lot of the formulas have gratitude in them and staying in the energy of what you desire.
Right?
One of the things that I think oftentimes are missing is that the universe,
God,
Whoever you identify with,
The higher source is also working for the highest good.
Right?
So the randomness happens as a result of different things shifting in everybody's reality in order for everyone to kind of get their desire or their manifestation.
But the more powerful the manifestation is aligned with a desire that is in the highest good for all,
The more likely it is to come to fruition.
Because,
As you know,
We're not disconnected from each other and we're not disconnected from the earth and we're not disconnected from the universe or God.
And so as we move through the fiery energy of the day and you really reflect on what did I come,
What did I cultivate in the last six months,
Whether that be materially,
Spiritually,
Emotionally,
Mentally,
Physically.
And where am I going?
Because it's also a very powerful day for manifestation.
Really think about how we can actually align our future desires and our gratitude for the past with how did what I cultivated in the last six months impact others as well as myself that was in a way of the highest good for all.
And there might be situations that you reflect on where that wasn't the case.
And that maybe is a lesson that you're going to take with you today through the summer solstice.
Because you have to remember,
Too,
With the summer solstice,
It's actually the midpoint of right between harvest,
The fall when we eat the fruit of our labor.
And when we planted the seed.
So we're right in the midpoint.
So now is the perfect time to course correct and get back into alignment with the highest good for all.
If some of your manifestations or the seeds that you're planting are not in the highest good for all,
Now is a good time to think about not maybe necessarily how am I going to replant a new seed?
Because I believe the seeds that grow are actually the ones that are in the highest good for all.
But how am I going to nourish the seed that I planted in a new way at this midpoint that is going to bring about a bountiful harvest for me and a bountiful harvest for my brothers and sisters,
For my community,
A bountiful harvest for the world,
A bountiful harvest for everyone?
Because I can tell you that the manifestations for me that have come to fruition have always been in the highest good for everyone involved.
And,
Of course,
You have free will,
So you can manifest in a negative way as well.
But I can tell you that when that's the case,
You always pay for that in some way,
Shape or form.
And it's not to elicit fear,
But there's always a cost,
Whether it's now or later.
There's always a cost because although the world may seem unfair because we have unequal access to choice,
Because we're all handed different cards,
And we know this,
Like when we look at our numerology,
When we look at our astrology,
We know we all have different cards.
And that's because our soul desires an evolution.
And so your soul is like,
What cards am I going to play with this time around in order to evolve me into that north node,
Into where I want to go,
Into enlightenment,
Where I'm holding more light in my body,
Embodying more light,
Embodying more of who I am,
Not just for me,
But for the entire world,
For the entire collective.
Because we're all energy,
We're all energy sources,
We're all lighthouses in a way.
And our energy is what is fueling the planet too.
And so when we manifest something,
It's not just for us,
It's for everyone.
So it's really good to kind of think about that.
Like,
Think of your garden as a community garden,
In a way.
You're not the only one who's going to eat the fruit,
Because you're interacting with people throughout your day,
Right?
So your interaction with people throughout your day,
Your presence,
Your energy is going to be connecting with everybody that you come into contact with,
Right?
Whether you're even speaking to them physically or not.
And so it's all about kind of what energy you want to put out into the world.
And I believe that we have unlimited potential to house light.
And that's because that unlimited potential already exists within us.
And I can honestly say,
From my own personal journey,
I went from a place of being lost in the world.
This was,
I think,
Five years ago,
Five or six years ago,
Maybe longer.
I was 27 and now I'm 35.
So when I turned 27,
I had a choice.
It was either stay in complete darkness,
Stay completely lost in the world,
Not see any of the blessings that I had come to the world to see in the physical reality,
Or change my life profoundly.
And I chose to change my life profoundly because something inside of me knew and believed that there was something greater than what was in my physical reality at the time.
And that's been a very long journey,
But I can,
Like,
It felt like a very long journey,
Even though it was only a few years.
And as we know,
Saturn returns usually around the age of 27,
Right around the age of 30.
And Saturn is really about,
You know,
Karma and like,
How much of your karma have you cleared?
How much of the structural things that you came to do here as a soul have you actually done?
Because you put yourself on a particular time.
So if anyone's kind of feeling like that time bomb is going off in their world right now or has gone off,
Just know that you have all of the power that you need inside of you to complete your journey.
And don't let anyone sell you anything else.
Because the more someone tries to sell to you that you don't know who you are and you need to seek that out outside of yourself,
The more you're going to be chasing.
Right,
Because what we know about this universal law is that what you seek is always seeking you.
And so when we look for who we are,
Particularly when we look outside of ourselves,
We're chasing,
Right?
Being who we are is as simply as a simple as being like it's who it's like how we show up in a room when it's very easy for us to express the most simplest version of ourselves.
Oftentimes that might not necessarily feel like it's simple because the emotion around it,
Depending on what you have to learn in the world,
The emotion around it might be fear.
Like I'm afraid to express who I really am in this group of people.
I don't feel safe.
But who you actually are is not a title.
It's a way of being.
It's like your true essence underneath all of the conditioning.
And so when we think about the solstice and like where we're going,
That north node,
It's about thinking about how we're going to execute our willpower and that energy of the sun as it's at the highest point in the sky and set that intention to come closer to our true essence.
And so sometimes what that means is not necessarily an unpacking or a cultivating,
Like bringing more things into our world that tell us who we are.
Sometimes what it actually is is an unbecoming or an unpacking of what we are not,
What we were told that we were,
That we are not,
What we,
The titles and roles that people gave us in our lifetime or past lives or whatever it may be,
That we are not.
The trauma that has sort of taken over and hijacked our bodies because we were exposed to an experience that kept us in a victim mentality or a feeling of powerlessness.
And while those experiences definitely exist and some of us have gone through tremendous trauma in our lives,
They're not here to define us.
And so let this summer solstice be that midpoint,
That turning point where you reclaim your willpower,
Where you say,
I'm not going to let this experience define me no matter what it is.
I'm going to start unpacking and learning the lessons from the experiences,
But then I'm going to burn the rest.
And so when we think about the fire energy of the day,
We can also,
We can think of how fire lights up the room like a candle in the dark or the sun in the sky lighting up our planet.
But we can also think about the fire energy and the ability for it to burn what no longer serves,
What no longer serves our higher purpose in the world.
Because we want one foot in gratitude in the lessons and we want the other foot moving in the direction of our true north and our north star and who we came here to be,
Right?
What we came to evolve as.
And so let the summer solstice represent that celebration of your life,
That celebration of all of the lessons that you've been taking with you.
But also let it represent that fire to burn anything that needs to be burned,
Right?
And so,
You know,
Even like later today,
If it was something that you could do safely,
I would say,
Let go of those things that are no longer serving you in a way that in a way that feels good.
Because one thing I should say about letting go is when we force ourselves to let go,
We actually create more energy towards like the thing that we're trying to let go of.
If that makes sense,
Eckhart Tolle talks a lot about this in some of his books.
So it's like you don't want to put too much pressure towards yourself to like know who I am or let go of a particular thing because by focusing too hard on it,
We actually put too much energy towards it,
Which is actually saying that we don't have it.
It's kind of like a mental loop de loop or something.
But what we want to do is to be who we are.
We just want to cultivate this essence,
Like drop the labels,
Drop the identities.
What's behind all of that?
Right?
And be in that essence as much as possible,
Even when it scares us.
And especially when it scares us,
Because when we do it,
When it scares us,
We don't let that fear entity or that energy of fear take hold of us and hijack us.
On the other side of it,
Burning or letting go of other things,
The conditioning that we need to let go of.
It's allowing the memory to rise up.
Discarding of the memory,
Like you can even say this to yourself.
You can say God,
Universe.
I don't want to,
I'm willing to let go of the memory now that I've learned the lesson.
Like you can burn this up on a physical piece of paper or you can rip it up.
You can burn it up like just through thought,
Like and physically saying like I am burning this memory up because it's no longer serving me anymore.
I have the lesson.
I have what I need to have from it.
And I'll like,
Please,
Like,
Let me withhold the lesson.
Remind me of the lesson when I need the lesson.
But I'm letting go of the actual experience itself.
Because what ends up happening sometimes is we hold on to these experiences.
And when we don't let these experiences burn,
They start to creep into our North Star.
They start to creep into who we came here to be.
And it's like,
No,
No,
No.
That experience was just here a one-time show only.
And now it's bye bye to that.
Right?
And so think of the power of the sun and how it warms our planet.
And strategically use it as a way to think of the sun that exists within you.
So coming back to the solar plexus,
This is the physical location of our inner sun.
And this is also called the city of jewels because it is where we manifest from.
And remember that energy flows both ways,
Right?
Energy flows down from the crown from the heavens,
From the sky,
From the universe,
From God.
And energy also flows up from Mother Nature.
And so really think about when you are manifesting,
Bringing those two worlds together.
Particularly today as a powerful day of manifestation and a powerful day of letting go for anything we want to burn.
And really cultivating that higher frequency or of that golden yellow.
So what I like to think about is like when we're just manifesting from our lower selves or we're just manifesting from our higher self,
It's yellow.
It's very yellow.
But when we're manifesting from the spiritual and the material world,
I think of it as like golden yellow,
Right?
Like this is your true gold.
Because you're not leaving your humanity behind as you embrace your spiritual self.
You're embracing your spirit and that you're still having a human experience while you're also embracing your humanity.
And so it becomes like this golden yellow energy of willpower,
Determination,
Fuel,
Fire,
Passion,
Personal power,
Taking responsibility,
Self-discipline.
Saying,
Yeah,
Saturn came around and returned and told me about all this karma that I have to clear.
And I'm going to look those shadows,
Those demons,
That darkness in the face.
And also not say,
I see you,
But you're no longer controlling my life.
I have power over my life.
And so while this is a beautiful celebration of light,
It's a celebration of you holding that divine will,
That divine flame,
That candle in the darkness.
In the darkness that you move through,
Through the winter solstice.
And for those of you who are here who are moving through winter solstice,
Just envision for a moment that you are truly held as you move through this period of time.
And you can even,
When you close your eyes,
Envision us as a circle of the energy that's here today,
Surrounding you with light.
And know that as you walk your path,
You are not alone.
And there are different signposts along the way.
And so I shared a little bit about numerology.
And so one of the great things about life purpose is we really need to cultivate our willpower,
Our sun energy,
In order to move our purpose forward.
Remembering that our purpose in the world,
The most important part is the who,
Is like who am I?
And cultivating that true essence within yourself by stripping away the other things that are not you.
That's your purpose as a soul.
However,
There can be other,
Like our life path purpose that is also tied into that,
Right?
Like how we are showing up in the world to provide those teachings or to serve the world in a way.
And sometimes our life purpose is tied to our job and other times it's not.
Sometimes our life purpose is tied to family members and to children.
Other times it's not.
And you'll figure this out as you walk your path.
Like don't expect to know everything in one day.
As you become more of your true essence,
More will be revealed to you.
And that's the beauty in the journey,
Right?
Like you don't want it all to be revealed to you all at once.
Or it'd be like watching,
When the whole movie is in a trailer,
When we watch the movie it's boring,
Right?
We don't want that.
We want to move through our movie as the star character.
We're all sort of the star character in our movie and the hats that we wear and the roles that we play.
We want to move through our own movie like not knowing the ending because we're writing the script as we go.
Walking each moment and being in the present moment is going to allow you to cultivate more of your true essence.
And then you will also be able to discover more of your life path and what your purpose is in terms of the role or the hat that you signed up for.
This is kind of like two pieces.
One is your true essence,
That is your purpose,
Cultivating who you are,
Knowing who you are,
Feeling who you are,
Feeling your own essence in the energy,
In the array of people that you surround yourself with.
And then also you can learn a lot about your life path.
There are clues too,
Like learning your Vedic astrology chart can tell you a lot about the gifts that you were born with or what you came into the world with.
However,
One thing I will caution against with astrology,
Numerology,
Any tool,
Human design,
Is do not allow that to replace the work that you came here to do.
An example would be,
I really cultivated a sense of presence and knowing who I was before I got my Vedic astrology chart because I knew it would influence me to the point of like I would start to use it as a predictor.
And these tools are not predictors because nothing can predict your life because you are literally writing the script as you go.
You are manifesting in every moment.
And so if you are ever with an astrologer who is trying to give you predictions,
I would leave immediately.
While they can tell you the energy of the year,
What you might be up against in terms of the energy,
Like that's kind of how you can use it as a forecast,
Like a weather forecast if you want.
But it doesn't necessarily mean that just because the forecast says it's going to be raining that you're not going to leave the house.
You might still choose to leave the house.
You might still choose to sign a contract during eclipse season.
But just be ready for the energy that you might be facing,
Right?
That's kind of how I like to use those tools.
So anyways,
Long story short,
You can use different tools,
Human design,
Astrology,
Numerology,
To give you clues like your life path number has a lot of clues.
Tantric numerology has a lot of clues around some of maybe some of the darkness or the shadows that you might have to move through with your light.
But don't let it be an excuse not to look deeper within because again,
They're external and they don't replace the experience that you need to have within.
So the tools just give you give the mind something to think about and kind of give that fun material aspect to understanding this stuff with the human mind.
But it's really important when you're coming into your purpose to feel your purpose in your body,
Which is your vessel.
And then as you start to tap more into your light that already exists within you,
Your vessel,
Your body is going to start going through upgrades to be able to hold that energy,
That light energy that you came here to be,
Right?
And so this is an invitation for you to really practice this.
And so we're going to move into a short practice before we end the call.
And the intention for this is to really get us into that feeling of our own essence.
Also take us on a magical journey of what that means so that you can start showing up as you in the world because there is nobody else like you.
You are unique in everything that you are and the world needs to see you.
I want to see you.
I want to start seeing you know your gifts out in the world.
You all came here with very special gifts and I want to see them.
So let's move into that practice and then we will close on that beautiful note for the summer solstice.
So,
Starting to just settle into the space that you're in,
Closing down the eyes if that feels safe and comfortable for you.
Reconnecting to where we were on Mother Earth when we began this journey together.
Just feeling really supported by her.
Know that she really knows what to do with fire when need be.
You can see a lot of her cleansing throughout the world and so just allow her to settle into that space.
Just allow her to support your fiery energy today.
Feeling the base of the spine where it sits on the earth.
Feeling really grounded and I want you to focus your attention on your navel so where your belly button is.
Just sense what's there.
What is the quality of my willpower to be just as I am?
To be who I am?
I want you to physically sense what's there.
And emotions may come up,
Colors,
You may start to see the sun.
Just allow whatever's there to be exactly what you need to become aware of.
And now that you have temperature reading on the quality of the energy of your sun,
Your willpower,
I want you to choose a direction to put that sun energy.
And so you can allow that sun energy to rise up into the heart and into the throat.
Or you can move that sun energy down into the lower chakras of creativity,
Safety,
And security.
And I just want you to place that energy of the sun wherever you first became aware that it needs to go.
Knowing that there's no right answer.
I'm just taking a moment to remember the breath,
The energy of the breath.
The energy of fire can be can feel very overwhelming at times and that's okay.
And whenever we need a breath,
Know that we're allowing that fire just like air to sort of support the energy of fire within.
And bring that presence of our life force energy to support us on this journey.
Understanding and knowing that all is a journey within and all that we see outside of ourselves is a direct reflection of what we are projecting from the inside out.
So continuing to breathe here and perhaps checking in on your connection to the earth,
Continuing to stay grounded,
Because the fire and air can at times make us feel ungrounded.
And if needed,
Calling in some of that water energy,
Not to put out the fire,
But to sort of balance things out so that we're not setting ourselves ablaze.
And now I invite you to place one hand on the heart and one hand on the area that you put the fire.
And if the fire went into your heart,
You could place both hands on your heart.
And now I invite you to place one hand on the heart and one hand on the area that you put the fire.
And if the fire went into your heart,
You could place both hands on your heart.
And just feel what it feels like to put your own healing hands on your body or vessel and to reconnect the parts of yourself that were always whole to begin with.
I'm just staying here for a moment.
And when you're ready,
Just taking another deep breath in.
And really just holding this beautiful sense of gratitude for yourself for how far you've come.
Knowing that this is,
There's no finish line per se.
There is and there isn't.
Just allowing yourself to be proud of how far you've come in the last six months to really celebrate yourself.
And know that by being present here today,
By moving through this experience here today,
You also have one foot in your future,
Cultivating who you are and who you came here to be.
And when you're ready,
You can open your eyes.
I welcome anyone to,
You know,
Share their experience if they feel comfortable in the chat.
And if not,
That's totally okay,
Because that's for you.
And I'll just say that this practice,
This experience together is going to ripple out into your life past today.
Today,
I invite you to drink a lot of water because we're also moving into the period in astrology of cancer.
We're not quite there yet,
But we're getting there.
Especially on a very fiery day.
And we all did this at a very fiery time of the day as well.
Can really help to start to bring that water and fire energy together.
And so drink a lot of water,
But not,
You know,
Listen to your body and not to the point of being like,
Oh,
I'm going to be sick.
And I'm going to be sick.
I'm going to be sick.
I'm going to be sick.
I'm going to be sick.
I'm going to be sick.
I'm going to be sick.
I'm going to be sick.
I'm going to be sick.
I'm going to be sick.
I'm going to be sick.
I'm going to be sick.
Not to the point of water intoxication,
But enough that your body will tell you that this is enough for me.
Because the energy of today is going to continue to ripple out into your life.
And I really want you to be able to ground everything that you've learned.
Everything that you were meant to remember here today.
Everything that you were meant to reclaim as yours because it is yours.
And let today be both a celebration and a reminder that nobody can ever take from you what is yours,
No matter what happens in life.
And let today be a midpoint,
A new beginning,
As well as an ending.
Knowing that all exists at once in our physical reality.
And the only thing that we are asked to do is to show up and be in the present moment.
The more we can become aware of our thoughts,
Our emotions,
Knowing that they are not who we are.
Their energy and form that we create and that we are exposed to will allow you to step more into your essence.
Of course,
As always,
Feel free to stay connected with me.
You can tap on my picture and follow the journey.
I do these sessions when I feel called.
When I feel called to share something with the world that is in the highest good of all.
And so you can count on me to be here with you throughout this journey as we journey on together.
And of course,
The link in my bio,
You can click on that to learn more about me as well as connect with me more specifically on any of the things I touched on here today.
Including the numerology and astrology.
Most importantly,
Follow your light,
Your way of being.
Continue to uncover that knowing that it's already within you and you do not need to seek it out,
Especially externally.
And with that,
I wish you a blessed summer solstice.
May you have the most beautiful,
Beautiful day.
Celebrating yourself.
Celebrating how far you've come.
And love and light to all of you.
And namaste.
Take care,
Everybody.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you for sharing your loving energy.
I am honestly loving this vibe that we've created here together.
All the best.
