Hi my friend,
It’s a blessing for me to connect with you in this way. We have a lot to catch up on, so let’s get right to it!
August is going to feel very different from what we’ve experienced in the last several months. After moving through some deep emotional introspection, healing, and for many, a bit of emotional isolation in recent months, August energies will serve as the turning of a page.
They will help us move beyond much of the heaviness many have been feeling and processing, within themselves and in the outer world.
We may already be feeling the internal changes happening, which include a renewed sense of vigor and a desire to be more proactive.
Similar to the seasons, energy goes through different cycles. Sometimes the energy is in a dormant cycle, and at other times, it’s in an active cycle.
We have just entered a highly active energy cycle that will help us, individually and as a collective, to transform a great deal of the density we have been moving through, allowing for more light, ease, and grace to flow through our experience.
A Season of Change and Action
As we move through the month of August, the energies will pick up again. An active energy cycle often manifests itself in our personal lives in the following ways:
- Beginning a new project, job, or creative venture
- Cleaning up and resolving past debts (personal, financial, etc.)
- Deciding to move to a new home / location
- Experiencing changes in appetite and eating habits
- Wanting to be more social and to make new friends
- Finding a new outlet to express our creativity
- Starting a new relationship or rekindling a previous one
- Feeling more motivated, inspired, and action-oriented
- Taking a trip
- Exercising and being more physically active
- Taking a new class or course
- Making actual changes happen in one area of life or another
- Cleaning our house or living space
An active energy cycle often manifests itself on the world stage in ways that include:
- Continued Earth shifts and movements
- Unusual changes in weather patterns
- New information, technologies, and breakthroughs that make a collective impact
- Heightened awareness of causes that impact humanity
- Social change
- Chaos
- Paradigm-shifting events
- The transcending of old ideology and structures that are no longer aligned with our collective highest good
Because change isn’t something the world is always comfortable with, a bit of resistance is a good indicator that big breakthroughs are on the near horizon.
Taking Inspired Action
There are two kinds of action: inspired action and forced action.
When we try to take forced action, we usually come up against a great deal of inner and outer resistance.
Making or forcing something to happen often requires that we spend lots of time and energy on something that may not be natural to us. It often feels hard, and requires a great deal of outer control.
Many of us were taught growing up that making or forcing something to happen is what brings it to us. We were taught that if we were assertive about making our dreams a reality, we would be rewarded with positive results.
We were told that the harder we worked, the more things we could acquire to make us happy.
Even though this method may work temporarily, most of the time it comes with a hefty price, like the disruption of our well-being.
When we operate from a space of always trying to make or force something to happen, that usually puts a great deal of pressure and stress on our emotional and mental bodies.
Over time, this shows up as an imbalance in our emotional, mental, or physical body.
But there is a kind of action that doesn’t require us to push so hard, and that is inspired action.
When we take inspired action, we do so from a place of awareness, ease, and grace.
We become so present to the opportunities and blessings the Universe is offering us, that we easily step into them from a place of gratitude. There’s no force, control, or pressure needed.
With inspired action comes the realization that the Universe/our Spirit is taking care of us fully.
Holding that as true, we no longer need to oversee or control every specific detail in our lives. We move out of any survival or victim patterns.
Taking inspired action is not to be confused with sitting around and waiting for life to make things happen for us.
It does, however, mean that we are intentionally choosing to be present and open to the opportunities that come our way.
The Universe/our Spirit is constantly gifting us with new opportunities and blessings that will help us create the kind of life we truly desire.
However, when we are focused on the future or dwelling in the past, which most people have been taught to do, we tend to miss what’s being presented to us in the present moment.
It’s in this present moment that we are the most effective, deliberate creator of our lives.
Because of the concentration of highly active energies right now, it has become very challenging and almost uncomfortable for us to procrastinate—to resist being active.
Even if it’s as simple as going for a walk outside or moving our body through dance or any kind of aerobic exercise, these inspired actions will serve us greatly during this time.
