"You are not meant for crawling, so don't.
You have wings.
Learn to use them, and fly."


~ Rumi, excerpted from You Were Born with Potential

The Tao of Now: Winging Our Way Home

Early in my journey, releasing everything and everyone that defined my life, I declared to a friend, "I'm in free-fall, and I want to be here." Stunned from exhaustion, I'd never lived in such clarity. Although I understood what was happening innately, it would be a while before I could articulate it. For the past 25 years, this newsletter has served as one form of articulation.

Gillian Macbeth Louthan encapsulates how this experience informs our global rebirth now: "We cannot worry and believe at the same time - Worry and Belief cannot hold the same space or time. The energy of flying through the air with the greatest of simplicity is what we are being asked to do.

"We are asked to let go of what we have been holding onto so tightly and allow ourselves to free-fall from one bar of light to another. The belief factor has to be 100%. Nothing less is acceptable, otherwise one will fall deeply into the quicksand of dread."

From one bar of Light to another

In Alchemy of Nine Dimensions, wisdomkeeper Barbara Hand Clow writes, "'Apocalypse' means lifting the veil on truth, which is probably the agenda of the Age of Aquarius."

What looks like the end of the world is actually the Big Reveal! And many of us need to pry our mental fingers loose, choose to release the trapeze bar we're clutching before the next one has swung into view, trusting it will be there - or that our wings will unfold in midflight.

The corridor between worlds is simultaneously the scariest and most wondrous place to be. Not knowing what happens next opens us to the unimaginable - where magic resides. Feel the fear, bless it, keep calm and carry on. Toto, we're not in 3D anymore.

Archangel Michael affirms, "Earth is becoming a 9th dimensional 'Super Planet' as it expands its grids and structures to create the multidimensional New Earth. The Angelic super consciousness of 2025 is activating the 9th dimension of Earth as many awaken and activate their Human Angelic blueprint within their DNA."

Earthquakes and fires and floods, oh my!

Like landing in Oz, our seismic shift entails more than a soupçon of upheaval for Mama Gaia and her inhabitants. The planet is adapting to this monumental frequency upgrade by releasing pressure through earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, fires, floods, etc.

For humans, the transition can express as pressure in the head, increased tension, peculiar aches and pains, fatigue, memory issues, and other ways you personally experience energy upgrades. Emotionally, it's a flume ride. Everyone around you may seem more discombobulated than usual. And, it's all good.

Gardening the Spirit

On the far side of my awakening journey, the first piece I published, Becoming A Gardener of the Spirit, describes how I navigated this life-altering shift. A beloved healer sent me a card depicting a naked woman superimposed over rock, entitled, "Petrified/Opening Heart." The artist writes, "Opening the wounded heart requires courage, will and trust. Trust is born in seeing the beauty and perfection in all aspects of life and death."

In the 1990s, my transition took three years. Now, awakening happens in three days. A hugely accelerated activation! To help your mind/body/spirit let go and grow:
  • Bodywork and grounding/earthing are helpful practices
  • Dandelion, which homeowners misconstrue as a weed, is one of the most healing herbs available to humanity, helping to cleanse the liver, aid digestion, and improve bone health.
  • Hydration is very important: aim to drink plenty of pure water, which will ease the flow.

Snaking our way home

This sixth month of 2025 is an opportune moment to revisit the 6th Chinese zodiac sign: Snake. This is the Year of the Wood Snake, enabling us to quickly shed the past and creatively express what's been in the shadows.

I have a deep connection to snake energy. Snake is an ancient symbol of transformation, bearing wisdom and feminine energy. As it molts, a snake watches its old skin crack and peel away from its body. The process is arduous - yet once the old skin is shed, the snake never goes back to it.

Walking in my local park one day, I encountered a large snake across my path. Startled, I received it as a herald and we communed. When our exchange felt complete, I thanked the snake for her gift - and she slithered away.

Ready to molt once more? We can energetically embody the caduceus: two snakes entwined in an alchemical embrace that forges something more magnificent than either could alone.

No matter how wound up you may feel, we're all winging our way home, together. Don't panic, pivot - and fly into the new frequency.
