We all feel broken sometimes.
❤️‍🩹
You know what else feels broken?

🦋the butterfly busting out of the chrysalis

🐍the snake shedding the old skin

🐣the chick pecking at the inside of the egg

All of these things emerge from their transformation better than ever, liberated, and here to thrive.
🫶🏻
That’s why humans feel broken too, it’s the threshold to a whole new and improved life.
❤️

For a few years after my ex husband passed away, our family went through some very dark times.
🕯️
To soothe my frazzled nerves & calm the kids, I played Adyashanti’s guided meditations on speaker all day long. One day I was compelled to write on the kitchen white board a line I heard him say, “nothing is happening to me, everything is happening for me.”
🫣
I will admit it was often a tough concept to integrate as the drama and chaos felt unending. Yet somehow, years rolled by, and the quote stayed on the board. It gave me hope that as awful as things got, this too would pass.
❤️
Now, 12 years later, I have another wonderful spiritual teacher on my list of favorites, the amazing - and in a channeled message this week, I heard her add this second line…”to bring you into your power.”
💫
YES!! Thank you! This answers the question for me as to why we must sometimes endure things that feel uncomfortable or worse. The years I spent blindly trusting that it was all for our highest good make sense now. As I reflect, we were, in every moment, being shown our path to power.
💃🏼
So hang in there, when life feels chaotic. Notice where you have the power to make choices. Trust yourself and your journey, and know that you are loved by forces beyond our comprehension. This is gold.

The most intuitive, amazing, wise, miraculous, supportive, loving, peaceful, soothing, uplifting, healing, spiritual thing we can experience is inside us.
✨
Ever present, ever patient, ever knowing.
❤️
For me, meditation best opens and expands the channel to this relationship. Many people connect to their soul through prayer, art, music, gardening, and sacred plant medicines. I’ve explored all of these things too.
🤲
How about you? What helps you connect with this eternal part of yourself? Love to hear in the comments.

What if instead of hiding our weird parts we could fully embrace them, and give them center stage? Today is the fist full day of Pluto in Aquarius, an 18 year cycle that supports the rise of :
✨
the unusual
the interplanetary
the rebels
the visionaries
the humanitarians
the common good
the innovators
the people who blaze a trail rather than follow
the people experiencing psychic phenomena
…. And more.
🌎
So, this feels like a good day to confess that I’ve been studying astrology since 1987. It’s not something I have ever done for financial exchange, but I do read charts for friends and I believe there is a lot to be revealed by looking up at the powers in the sky.
⭐️
With Pluto’s shift out of Capricorn into Aquarius, the things that we have felt we needed to hide away because they made us weird or strange… it’s time to fully embrace those parts of ourselves, and love them more than we ever have.
❤️
These are not hindrances, they are GIFTS, and the time to share them is now. Don’t dim your light, shine it brighter than ever, the next two decades will be trending in favor of the independent minded free spirits of the world. Are you weird too? Drop a comment & share your weird!!

The human mind is a garden.
🪴
What we focus on is what we will attract more of.
🧲
Where we decide to focus our attention is the key to modifying our life experience.
🔑
When we focus on things in the world that we think are “bad” or “wrong” we will attract evidence to support the idea that things “out there” are bad and wrong.
🪷
When we shift our focus onto things that make us feel joyful, relaxed, peaceful, and happy, then we draw to us more experience of relaxed joy.
🪄
It really is pretty simple in theory, but can be a little tricky in practice. Thinking is an art form, and it takes time to develop the skill.
✨
Sara Landon and her channeled wisdom from “The Council” has helped me tremendously this past year as I’ve been exploring, experimenting, and integrating the energetic realities of the law of attraction, and she’s got lots of fabulous free info on her website at www.saralandon.com.
👁️
So, what are you paying attention to today? In other words, what are YOU choosing for YOUR reality?
I choose joy, every chance I get.
❤️
Smiles,
Mel
