Revolution goes around, evolution moves forward.

We have outgrown what is old, but taking on everything that needs to change at the same time is overwhelming.

We are dealing with so much right now it can be overwhelming. There is too much to keep track of. My question is - do we really need to keep track of all of it?

Between my Tree of Life Mastery session, and the closing webinar of Raise your Vibration Bootcamp, what I am seeing is that most people are experiencing overwhelm, along with grief, anger, jealousy and guilt. Most of which is strange and unexpected, many people thought they had already dealt with the issues around the emotion. And there is physical pain that goes with these strong feelings, too - when the body is stressed it twists, spasms and shrinks. Releasing stress is imperative to release physical pain.

This upheaval is not going to end for a while.

I tend not to watch forecasts for the month ahead as you probably know, but I have dipped into a few people's YouTubes and seen similar themes. ‘Messy multi-dimensional mis-alignment’ is the best descriptor I could find (from Lee Harris!). What you are experiencing isn't your pain, your grief, your anger, but in a way, it also is. What is in the collective is also in you, what is in you, is in the collective.

I decided to cancel my blue tick for Twitter. (X just doesn’t roll off the tongue.) I found myself getting involved in too many back-and-forths with people who were just-not-listening. I found myself just-not-listening to them, too. I didn’t like it, I didn’t like me in it. Pitching ourselves against each other is not the way to move forward.

As the title of this article says - revolutions go around. This call for revolution has not been well thought out. I don’t want to find myself back where I was, whilst believing that I was moving forward. No. I want to grow and shift out of this paradigm altogether. I prefer to call on evolution, than revolution. Calling for a revolution is not a long-term solution. I don’t think we can fix some of these old things from within.

There are books I want to read, a feeling of freedom I long to hold. I have mysteries to solve, I have new books to write, new territories to explore. But I’m not doing any of this - I’m in a holding pattern. I am constantly scanning the ‘news’ both the alternative and the mainstream. I find nothing in either of them that is good, wholesome and healthy. A lot of bickering. It’s actually making me sick, deteriorating my zest for life. It wears us all down and I’ve had enough.

I want some space for me. So I need to carve it out for myself.

October is a time for letting go - the leaves remind us of this. Clear out the old. It’s also time to make space for new things to come in. To evolve. If you resonate with what I am saying, here are some energy tips for you -

• Don't take your emotional pain personally. Don't try to analyse it. Step away from whatever it is that is triggering you, and breathe through it all, let it move through you and out of you.

Just as I am letting go of news and social media, I still will dip in and out of it to take the temperature, but I do not need to immerse myself in it constantly. My safety levels in the world no longer come from what others say the world is. I will work from what my heart says it is instead. When I do this, I remember to bring God’s light down into me, and once I do that, all is well. Find your groove, the balance of what works for you without hurting your body, mind and soul. Remember, they are trying to put fear into you, any form of ‘news’ takes you away from your soul, your heart, and from grace.

• Make time for meditation. Make space for disappointment. (yes you heard me right - disappointment needs time and space, just like grief does.) Upgrade your self-care. Make contemplation time a priority.

Society doesn't value contemplation time. It should. It is the space where we find those parts of ourselves that are troubled, and sit with them, hold them lovingly, until they find ease. Where we work out our issues, or simply reorganise our energy field. Where we actually let the things go, and the new things come in. If we spent more time in contemplation we would't be pushing ourselves so hard, or trying to fill a cavern of need with food, alcohol or harmful substances. We would just be, and we would learn that being is enough.

• We are all different, we are not who we were last year. Get to know yourself anew. Listen to your body. It might want something that you do not expect.

I know - there are lots of things here for you to take on board - whatever jumps out at you first is the one that you need the most. Maybe just do one thing differently this month and watch the ripple effect.

• Give yourself permission to grow, to heal, and to carry grace inside of you at all times. You are a container for God’s light, when you let it inside of you, you bring it with you wherever you go.

We are, all of us, experiencing many changes and we all feel it in different ways. But we are all going through this storm together, if it is indeed a storm. I do believe that it is a series of very strong upgrades - not just for us, but also for this ‘hologram’ we call home. We have outgrown the old and we need something new that can hold us in the next phase of our growth and evolution. We will come out stronger for it. 

Acknowledge how you feel, to yourself. Reach out and talk to a friend if you need to. Call someone you love and tell them you love them, they may need to hear it. It's time to live your life to it's fullest. Because all we really have, is now.
