Phew! Well that was one heck of a Solstice wasn’t it? Plus being in Eclipse season, there are a lot of intense energies around. The eclipses are really shaking things up and revealing so much to us, some of which we might not want to see or be aware of but we need to be. Many have had a Truth Hit that has been like a slap in the face, those who have had their heads in the sand have well and truly had their butts kicked (or about to be when the Eclipse window closes), those who have been ‘asleep’ are being given a big jolt to wake them up . Eclipses highlight what’s not working, and the Eclipse window gives us time to think about what we want to do about it. On the other hand Eclipses can be the most wonderful launching pads for new experiences for some, (my darling hubby walked into my life during an eclipse window and my life had completely turned around by the time the eclipse window closed). Some people fear eclipses because of what might come up, but I look forward to them. Although it can be a bit rough at the time whilst it is happening, Eclipses always reward you with something better, if you are open to working with the Eclipse energies. I have had several personal realisations of my own, some of which I didn’t like but I know to be the truth and I know what I have to do to change things. Eclipses also can mark a time when you just cannot or will not carry on the way you have been, that something has to change. And it will.
Treat yourselves kindly during Eclipse season, the energy shifts will make you more anxious and sensitive emotionally (I feel like I’ve had PMT since before the Solstice!). You may also be feeling vulnerable, even exposed and feel a bit raw. On the plus side this enables you to receive more intuitive information, insights abound and you become inspired again.
As I always say when energy events are so super-charged; eat well - lots of root veggies for grounding, green leafy veg for energy (beetroot is good for that too), drink plenty of water to flush out any stress toxins you may have, get plenty of rest – have naps during the day if you need to. Find time (even five minutes) to sit quietly, calm your breathing and still your mind. Keep taking your essences (our ‘Ascension Support’ essence is flying off the shelves again!). Add some essences to your bath and let their magic soothe you on all levels. Add some essential oils to your body lotions so that you can be uplifted by the magic of flowers all day long.
Thankfully the planetary energies for July promise us less intensity and more freedom. So breathe out, enjoy the summer weather and forget about everything else for a few weeks.
ASCENSION SYMPTOMS
Some of you have already experienced these symptoms and some will continue to do so.
As I have said before, we are on the same path but at different stages, so just take what feels right for you now, and keep the rest as future reference. Although I speak as if these things have already happened, for some they have yet to happen.
Tiredness
Since the Solstice many are feeling absolutely whacked out. Sleeping patterns have become erratic for some. Get rest whenever you can. Little power naps whenever you feel you need to.
Weight Gain
Weight gain/bloating continues for some. Particularly for those who are shamanic. Especially around the waist and belly areas, perhaps we all need a bigger seat to sit on to keep us anchored during these rollercoaster energy rides! :-)
Cosmic Slug Syndrome
The above weight gain isn’t helped by the fact that some of us have been going through Cosmic Slug Syndrome again as we adjust to the intense energies and are eating more. You need to be careful that you are not feeding emotions rather than yourself. (Refer to your ‘Ascension Tips’ handbook for more information).
Dreams
Faces from the past continue to happen for some, with some experiencing closure regarding these old relationships. Prophetic dreams abound since the Solstice and you may have several different dreams in the one night. Do keep a note of any dreams you have had since just before the Solstice, you are downloading important information. These are as well as the usual sifting, sorting and clearing of the psyche that occurs during dreamtime.
Aches and pains
Teeth – sharp stabbing pains in the teeth and jaw, be careful of holding tension in your jaw which you may be doing without realising it. (The energies may be making you tense up more than you realise).
Small pains in the hands and feet as the energy moves through our meridian system. (Earth sensitives – these are also earthquake symptoms).
Lower back pain and hip pain for some – as well as being earthquake symptoms, this is also to do with old stuck emotions calling our attention and letting us know that it is time to let them go. As soon as this happens, the pain disappears and healing has taken place.
Chakras
Every chakra seems to have been bombarded with energy lately! Protect your solar plexus at the moment, especially if you are feeling a bit below par or sensitive emotionally.
Higher chakras – these have been activated and opened, many of the upper chakras are now open with some aware of the opening of their fourteenth chakra.
Protection
The massive energies at the moment can be very tiring, when we get tired our guard drops and we become more vulnerable. Check your protection and grounding every day, use your ‘Protector’ spray mist each morning to put a shield around your aura (and over your solar plexus if you are feeling particularly sensitive). There are a lot of ‘other’ energies out there trying to cause havoc at the moment, and quite frankly, you have enough to deal with right now. A couple of minutes each morning is all it takes and you are set for the day ahead.
Hot Flashes
More than the weather, more than menopause, it is possibly further activation of kundalini energy. However I feel it is also to do with the energies we are currently experiencing; they are helping us to burn away what we no longer need as we transform ourselves even more, up until now this has been an internal experience but now we are feeling it right through our bodies so much so that our skin is leaking as we sweat buckets! And then a few minutes later everything settles down again. Warming our core is actually very empowering, and is good for us physically as long as we do not dehydrate or overheat. Ensure you are drinking plenty of good quality still water when you are going through this phase.
This experience can also be contrasted by feeling ice cold (and can happen shortly after the hot flashes), this shivery feeling goes on for a while and then suddenly your body returns to normal temperature.
Insect Invasions
The ‘other’ energies can use critters and animals to create havoc in your life. This is particularly important to those who are shamanic. Whilst we can think about the animal medicine message the critters might be giving us, you will know that this is different.
Flies – especially the type that bite are a particular favourite of the ‘other’ forces, and you may find yourselves persistently bothered (or bitten) by these flies. They are trying to stop you doing what you need to do. I have come across this before over the years and was surprised when I was targeted recently. I was making an herbal remedy whilst we were on holiday and had observed all the usual protocols in Nature and was happily in a meditative state amongst the plants as I gently gathered what they were offering. It was a hot day and I was bothered by one particular fly at least 10 times, that’s when I realised what was going on. I check in with Mother Earth and the plants and Devas, no it wasn’t from them, they were perfectly happy to have me there. So I asked Spirit to let me know what the heck was going on and if I stuffed up the protocols anywhere please let me know so that I can put it right. I was told I had not done anything wrong or forgotten anything. I continued trying to gather the plants and that blessed fly had another go at me, as I turned to swish it off me I was shocked to see that it had a human head (male with grey hair) and the word “corporate” stamped across it. I heard the words “they (corporations) don’t want you to gather natural medicine”. I was completely surprised by this and hadn’t expected it. Many of us have a lot to contend with as we continue to offer good service to our communities through our use of natural medicine and we all know how about the forces that are trying to stop us doing this. I cleared my energy field and moved to another part of the land as I almost had enough for my jar. The hot weather has affected the quality of the plants in this area this year, the quality of the leaves wasn’t as good due to the parched condition of the land they were growing in. I was very grateful for their healing gifts. As I stood up to put a lid on my gathering jar, blow me if another of those flies bit me – I hadn’t even felt this one land on me as it was smaller. Little bugger! I simply turned round and used a leaf from a planet I love which healed it instantly.
Ants – can also be used in this way. They are incredible critters and I have learned so much from them over the years.
Please don’t be alarmed as this doesn’t happen very often and it doesn’t happen to everyone.
ITCHINESS
Some have felt like snakes shedding skin and have felt itchy inside and underneath their skin. Keep your skin cool and away from irritants like perfumed products until this phase passes. It usually lasts 2-3 days. Try not to scratch! Instead think about what might be irritating you and/or what are you wanting to get rid of?
Itchy soles of the feet – my Irish grandmother taught me this means “that you are going to walk on strange ground” meaning that you are going to go somewhere new that you haven’t been before (even if you are not planning to go out you may get a sudden invitation to go somewhere). From an ascension point of view it means that you are going to explore new territory and have the courage to do so now. For some of you it is that you are now ready to walk into the world with what you can offer, your creativity/services/healing/talents and your feet are itching to get going!
Other things my Grandmother taught me “if your left hand is itching, you’re coming into money”, this works without fail! My left palm gets itchy particularly near the hand chakra and within two days money I wasn’t expecting arrives. And finally, “If your right hand is itching, you’re going to shake hands with someone new”.
Manifestation can happen very quickly now, almost instantly in some cases, so be careful what you are thinking about for it may manifest sooner than you would like or feel ready for. A perfect example of this happened to a friend in the USA, she read a book which so inspired her that she started sharing her interpretation of it with a series of free short daily videos. (She invited us to join in, we did and the shifts we had were so profound!). The well known author of the book heard about what she was doing and within days she was invited to be part of a teleseminar with him, and she hasn’t stopped since then appearing on other radio shows and teleseminars! So make sure that you are thinking positively, if you are stuck in a negative spiral you could very quickly manifest stuff you really don’t want happening. This has its peaks and troughs like any energy wave does. The best thing to do is to go with the flow and run with it whilst it is happening and then when it tapers off and things slow down again, use the time to integrate all that has happened, recharge and get yourself ready for surfing the next energy wave/manifestation wave that will come in. When the quiet times happen use them to get organised, structured and efficient.
Finally
Waking Dreams/Visions/Meditation is happening more. You receive in your mind’s eye images of how you will be working/living/loving as you go about your day-to-day activities (you don’t need to set aside meditation time to access this type of information).
Those who have gone with the flow, done the deep detoxing and clearing, are now feeling more powerful than they have done in years. Yet it is a different, because you are gong with the flow of it and allowing it to guide you where you need to go. You feel safe, you trust and know that this is right and you are enjoying the journey. (You no longer have problems with your ego because you have transcended that type of ego-driven power, yet you are able to be dynamic and cope with competition in business because you know that you do not have to compete, because you are plugged into the unlimited Universe and know that there is more than enough for everyone).
You are not at all worried about outcomes or final destinations you are just following the flow and greatly enjoying the people you are meeting and the experiences you are having. Your work dream starts to really blossom and take off now, people are now ready for it, they are more receptive to what you have to offer, your time is now. Isn’t that exciting! It’s time for you to take charge now. It is time for you to totally take charge of your life and live it the way you want to. You have the strength, the power, the courage and the integrity to do this.
As I have mentioned before, there will still be those other energies out there that don’t want you to succeed, that want to sabotage and interfere with what you are doing, that will try and attack you personally and your work dream and plans. Don’t worry about it, you are so strong now you will see them coming (which will take them by surprise) and know exactly how to deal with them. (Remember too that they are mirroring out shadow sides, but they are weakening because of all the incredible deep work you have done on yourself over the past ten years).
This time is all about YOU. Putting yourself first. This is extremely important, because when you do this you are becoming more solid in yourself and you are building energy reserves. You must give yourselves the space and time to do this. If you keep being depleted by others there will be nothing left for you or them, and you will be no use to anyone. Put You first so that you will have enough to give others when needed. You will also become even more discerning now about who and where you want to share your energy. You haven’t come this far just so someone can vamp your energy or trash it. Stay strong, stay focused on YOU. Use that wonderful little word No, more often, until you feel ready to say Yes.
As you shift into this more powerful, strong, confident version of yourself, you will find that certain people and situations will be taken care of so that you do not have to encounter their energies longer. This happened to me personally, something that had been planned didn’t come about, at the time I was disappointed and upset as I had been let down by someone I thought was a friend, the let down also cost us time and money which we could have done without. Yet when I sat with it afterwards, I realised the Universe had saved us from being in energy that was no longer suitable for us and would have pulled us down tremendously. It was a blessing, and was worth every minute and penny of inconvenience
Do you realise that you are being sprinkled with golden stardust right now? Blessed by Cosmic Dust that blends its creamy golden tones with your energy field, you are becoming more luminous. You are so beautiful. You are so loved by the Universe and All Our Relations in other galaxies. You are so needed here by this wonderful World of ours. Hang on in there. You are doing so well. Please remember that you are greatly appreciated by the seen and unseen.

The key for the coming month is SURPRISES.
Being open to all the different types of surprises that show up in your life. Especially the ones you’d rather not have, because those are the ones that help you to think and act differently and change your life. Being open to all the wonderful surprises that are waiting to come in for you. Surrender control and allow the abundant Universe to bless you in many different ways. Creating wonderful surprises for others; a romantic surprise for your partner, a thank you surprise for a dear friend, an anonymous surprise for someone you know who could do with cheering up. Surprising family and/or relatives you haven’t seen for a long time with a visit. Surprising someone with a beautiful card. Surprising someone with something you have made yourself. Surprising yourself by recognising how fabulous you are. Surprise yourself by how open and alert you already are to what is around you. Saying to yourself “I love the surprises which come to me from so many unexpected sources!”
