Flashback: The Men

{original post}

Last night I dreamt I was in a crowd, and got close to a fairly large group of marauding men. I watched them for awhile, knowing they were looking for a mark. I hoped the festive atmosphere would deter them. 

Once I saw they intended to do harm, I started speaking to them. I tried telling them they didn’t need to hurt anyone, that they could find another way to satisfy whatever need they had. 

They were startled, but quickly shook off the lecture. They kept going for… someone.  

So I stopped them energetically. Froze them solid. Then - more telepathically than literally - I reached into their chests and grabbed their hearts to rearrange them… 

Just then, my backup alarm woke me again. 

.

A little later, I go into my morning meditation. Typically I close it by consciously dedicating three breaths to something or someone. The last breath led me to say an incantation for the masculine. 

The world is coming into a deeper understanding of how toxic masculinity harms, maims, and kills us. As we reject that standard, we also must hold a vision of the Divine Masculine we require; the one that will thrive beyond the brokenness, misdirected anger, and strife. 

Let the pain and disappointment bubble up and pour over. Just know it’s important to fill that gap with a new vision: something we can respect, love, and nurture into wholeness. 

Never forget: nature abhors a vacuum, and summoning naturally follows a banishment.

.

Men: beware, and be aware. It is time to heal. 

Lift the armor and stone weights from your hearts. Let yourselves smile and laugh as you did when you were boys and babies. Bring that joy and crooked grin into your now. Play. Enjoy yourselves.

Use your strength to protect, shield, and deflect. Organize; become the faces of loving, sincere justice in your communities - not out of ego, but because it’s the right thing to do and be.

Use the energy of your manhood to create art, music, shelter, work the land. Do you know how many languages use similar terms for the gardening hoe and the phallus? That is by design. Prepare a place your people can grow in. 

Love women. All women. Honor them. Ask them what they need to thrive and provide it - without hesitation and out of love and respect, never ownership.

Get intimate with your dreams and partner with someone that supports them. You are not a reed in the wind; you are a man, and action is your birthright. Direct your drive by feeding it with the energy that compliments you.

Grow up. And keep growing.

Back Online: The Empath Survival Guide

I've renewed my partnership with The Womb Sauna to offer an updated version of The Empath Survival Guide. This course is designed to help you fully integrate the work found in The Empath's Toolkit, and includes a one-hour personalized coaching session.

With the stress we face each day - whether from our everyday lives, or the horrific news from around the world - it's important for empathic people to learn how to shield and fortify our energy so we can use this gift as intended: assess the collective energy, transmute it, and return it to the world at a higher vibration. 

The Empath Survival Guide is self-paced and available 24/7/365. Watch my IG live with Thema Azize Serwa to learn more.

no matter where you are in your healing journey, the right triggers can make you wonder if any of the work is working.

.

it is. and you can't predict everything.

.

it's not the end of the world even tho it might feel like it is. (because last time, it was) create space to feel. don't judge. you feel it for a reason.

.

you're still here. you're ok. keep breathing. do the best you can, right now. seek (self) compassion & safe spaces. this too shall pass. and maybe, just maybe it really will be all right.

.

a word for me AND you.

black candles have gotten a bad rep, but they can be very useful in helping you see your way through shadow work, illuminating the subconscious, strengthening root chakra energy, and warding off various forms of negativity. tools are meant to be used; assigning fear and negativity to them is our baggage showing. 🕯 • #witchybizness #personalpower #selfcare #selfawareness https://www.instagram.com/p/CpkmyGoLq0H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

really rough day yesterday. so what do I do this morning? get up and let this deck drag me. 😩 •° the message? mastery isn't about performing perfection, it's feeling the things and pushing forward anyway. I could've curled up under the covers and blocked it all out. instead, I wept until I could barely see, and moved projects forward. I wailed to my Ancestors, and supported a client. I took steps to align with what Goddess set forth for me *in the presence of* my pain, 'cause human monkeys and their bullshit can't stop this show. even with the hurt 😓, all is in its right place. 🙏🏼 • #personalpower #acceptance #blisscreation #oracle #reading #journeyoflove #tarot #tarotrreadersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CpAdug4LOdD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Get Right or Get Left

For the last several years - even before the pandemic - you may have noticed healers and seers imploring folks to do the deep, genuine work necessary to elevate and evolve.

It feels like things are coming to a head now.

I'm not a number / math person, but it's worth noting that 2023 is a 7 year. It is a prime number, only divisible by 1 and itself. You can't break it down into neat pieces - it must be regarded whole, as itself.

In many cultures and cosmologies, 7 marks the ending/renewal of cycles. Just about everyone's heard of the 7 major chakras, and scientists acknowledge that many cells in the human body renew themselves about every 7 years.

Those who've taken genuine steps towards healing are reaping rewards. But if you've been faking it, you're in for a reckoning.

The only way forward is to get real and get busy. Stop hiding. Stop denying. Stop delaying. Stop rehashing old shit that doesn't serve you. And definitely don't think you're gonna hang off the bra strap of anyone on their way up; you'll lose your grip and fall harder. You will not receive what you haven't earned.

Conversely, if you feel you're not getting your due, are you sure you've pulled your shit up by the root? Or have you just been weeding all this time? Dig deeper.

Remember: the Universe doesn't require perfection. Only truth. Tell yourself the truth, face it, and do what needs to be done.

FYI - I take March off for my birthday, so if you're thinking about a service, get on the calendar this month, or you'll have to catch me in April. 🙏🏼🩵 https://www.instagram.com/p/CoM3Nkmrdi9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: some folks are irrevocably broken because they encountered irrevocably broken humans at various points in life. Because of that, some energy is for the Divine to renew and recycle. •° It's taken generations to create these hells, so it's gonna take time before loving folks back to health can be enough. Responsiveness to Love requires a mental / emotional / spiritual foundation that's lacking in a relatively small but vehemently destructive segment of the population. •° There's nothing that says you have to martyr yourself to show them "the way," not when they are a literal danger to you and others. Believe what you see, and move on. •° On a less extreme level, everyone isn't amenable to being re-raised, so elders and protocols will roll off their backs. Others are determined to stay stuck in their suffering, because pain can be as addictive as pleasure. •° As the saying goes, "What happened to you isn't your fault, but how you handle it is your responsibility." Wanna keep wreaking havoc on folks that haven't earned that treatment? Fix your shit, or you get to have the day you deserve. 🤷🏽‍♀️ • #wegrown #doyourwork #heal https://www.instagram.com/p/CoFmuMxrelA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

acceptance has emerged as my word/theme for 2023. accepting myself, in my fullness. accepting what is, what's true, and moving accordingly. accepting my blessings, opening to the Divine Goodness in, around, and through me 🍯. •° this year, I claim my place and willingly recognize, claim, and accept all the good that belongs to me by Divine right. and so it is. 💫🙏🏽💫 https://www.instagram.com/p/CnD3Nk1t1iP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I haven't identified as Christian since childhood, but I adore the story of the Divine Child and the hope they symbolize. Giving thanks for the return of the sun, and holding joy in knowing there are longer days ahead. However you mark this time, may you be surrounded by - and know you are - Love. 🙏🏼🧡 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cml4EhtLIge/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

new month... end of a year. take time to go within, reflect, say goodbye to what no longer serves. what do you want to see sprouting up, come spring? • #wheeloftheyear #seasons https://www.instagram.com/p/CloGVWJrIDA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Collectively, we did well this last election. We're passing the (energetic) tests and pushing things in a good direction, even when it hasn't been easy. There's still a long, long way to go, but we're trending towards Love. It means we learned from the lessons we got when Fear was in power. Give thanks! •° And in two more years, even more folks will turn 18, and a few more relics will die off. 😏 •° Pray for the birth of new, abundant, inclusive worlds - from your community to the whole planet. Pray for the power of imagination, love-rooted innovation, and expansiveness. •° Pray that we continue to release and transmute the fearful energies of oppression, repression, and imprisonment - literal or figurative. •° Pray for the courage to face Truth, heal, and integrate so we don't keep falling for the same ol' stale, crusty schemes and lies. 🙏🏽 https://www.instagram.com/p/ClAdQIkN3s_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

finally cut back the garden. 🍂 nourished the soil, watered, burned some camphor outside & indoors to cleanse, clear, and release last season's things. prayerfully everything that's supposed to return in the spring, will. •° these last few weeks have pruned my spirit... annoying physical symptoms included. but I'm emerging stronger, clearer, and more vibrant. give thanks. 🙏🏼 • #plantlife #personalpower #lessons #blessings https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck3V6xgLpvo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

since childhood, I've been handed stories, secrets, knowledge. eventually I learned this experience was common for people with certain gifts. what I *didn't* know was how deeply the sum of those experiences impacted my sense of self. •° I've often felt that because I'm NOT carrying the "issues" so many have come to know, relate to, and bond over, I needed to be quiet, listen, and learn. that practice has served me well on some levels, but hindered me in others. •° I asked for guidance on shifting this energy (it's taken a LOT to articulate in the first damn place 😥😓), and this was the message. time for a different approach. • #documenting #selfawareness #personalpower https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj2xjgWrCV5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
