Dear 

Last week I noticed this beautifully positive shift in energy. It was odd because at the same time I personally was experiencing a burning off process that felt mysterious.  It was as if the fire of purification was revealing a new reality from the inside out and regardless of what I did, it was going to transmute what it needed to.

Nevertheless, this energy also offered breakthrough moments that felt like inclusion of different aspects of self. Fear was followed by sadness, followed by joy and laughter, followed by curiosity and confusion, followed by calm.

The difference this time was that regardless of what arose, it felt gentle. It was safe (not comfortable, but clearly OK) because there was an awareness that whatever was flowing was either burning old energy off or it felt like an afterglow of what had been transmuted. 

There was no doing in this experience, but there was choosing. The choice was to be kind to myself. Maybe this is what is meant by gratitude for what is. My identity couldn't claim ownership of this process as it was simply taking place.

In this space there wasn't a story to tell, no right or wrong, simply an awareness that no matter what was showing up, it just was. There was observing and a lot of talking to various aspects of my inner community.  Basically, the practice was to be kind to whatever was there, feel it, let it transmute and then move on. If I tried to just move on, the burning off process lasted longer. If it was fully felt, it seemed to move with ease.

If you have been reading these newsletters for a while, you know that I truly believe that our lives give us one experience after another to bring presence to what we were unable to bring presence to in the past.  Daily living these days can easily bring deeply buried energies to the surface. It's happening out in the world and it is happening deep within us.  Maybe the transmutation of what is arising has less to do with what is being revealed and more to do with how we meet the various aspects of ourselves that react to what is being revealed.

How are we meeting the moments of our lives? Can we add some kindness to those moments, especially to the ones where we typically make ourselves wrong?  Can we allow ourselves to be where we are, without condemnation? The answer may be that the wounded, scared, orphaned parts of us may not be able to, however the beauty is that there are many inner aspects of us that can meet, love and comfort the wounded aspects. This capacity is the beautifully positive shift that is beginning to gain traction now. 

Big Love to YOU!

PS. Speaking of kindness please make sure to listen to the last Children's Sanctuary call and watch the video on The New Kind. The New Kind is a new population that is just emerging on planet Earth. You'll like what they are bringing. See details below.

Also, please note that Avatar Energetics (AE) and a brand-new Journey Back to Love (JBL) are on offer for this month. This JBL focuses on using the world stage as an opportunity to bring more presence into our lives and the lives of others. A slightly revised Autism Integration Series (AIS) will begin in October. Both JBL and AIS have new lower early bird prices.
