Hello beautiful friends,
I have been thinking of you all as I have taken time to rest and pause over the past few months.
So much has shifted and evolved for me. I have been thinking about how to share what I’m experiencing with you all, and waiting until the time felt right.
I know that many of us are going through some really hard times these days. And while we can feel tempted to get down about it, I firmly believe that it’s all part of our soul contracts and how we learn. It’s often through challenges that we grow, if we choose to take the action to learn that is (as we do have free will!).
For me personally, I have been on a healing journey in an unexpected way. After doing a medically-supervised 7-day water fast (which was VERY tough – no food for a week), I dove deep into healing in a way I never expected.
Since then, I’ve been going inward and getting more quiet. Doing Qi Gong, acupuncture, super healthy eating (mostly), lots of walks, even some plant medicine journeys. (The above picture is a summer solstice spiral of rhododendron petals).
For 9 years, I have been so outward-focused, being of service to others. I am now being guided to turn my attention more inward, nurturing myself and my inner child.
Of course, balance is key to everything, and I just feel good when helping others, so I am still seeing clients and teaching the Intuitive Guide Certificate Program. (I just wrapped up the 10-month Hypnotherapy Certification program with 8 brave souls becoming hypnotherapists!)
It’s easy in my line of work to keep going and going – more social media, more content, more, more, more. Ironically, in the healing profession, there’s still a lot of pressure. Not how it should be!
So I had to remove myself from all that for a while for my own sanity and wellbeing. We all need times to take a break from life every so often – to step off the wheel and just stop everything.
I am easing back into the world now. Yet, I feel a strong desire for quiet, silence, and introspection. Less talking, more being.
It hasn’t been easy for me to do this, and I know that some of you are experiencing deep challenges as well.
I have had many guides with me, Jesus and Mother Mary most prominently, but also some new Native American and Mayan spirit guides showing me the way. They are communicating with me more clearly and my intuition is even more heightened. Like friends daily offering guidance in your ear.
We will see how this unfolds for me, and I pray the same for you.
There is more I could share with you, but I will when the time is right. I have been tested in ways I never imagined. And yet, with deep faith, finding moments of joy and pulling upon my highest self, I am being brought to new levels of understanding.
Well, this is all for now.
I am sending you all a deep bow to all you’re doing and experiencing as we humans move through the birth canal into the New Earth. The spiritual awakening and ascension process is no joke. It’s hard. And yet, there’s such profound peace and contentment that comes from it.
With blessings and lots of love,
Rachel
