Energies of January were intense, especially last week, and I’m sure you felt it. I certainly did. Many were feeling sick or emotionally down and tired. As sensitive’s, all the energy added to our own worries and the turbulent energy made it tough.
I knew this year was bringing a welcome shift of energy if we could just “let go”. How many of us have thought, “I keep putting too much into what I think or want to have happen- but it is not flowing.”?
A close friend of mine wrote me an email Monday, February 4, the first day of the Chinese New Year. She asked about “a big shift for the better will be happening on the 4th and 5th” which I had mentioned. And, she sent me a copy of that day’s message from Daily Word.
My Mom was a devout Daily Word person. She read Daily Word each morning and it was on the kitchen table, as always, the day she passed. Mom bought subscriptions for many of us over the years. It was soothing and never failed to amaze me how the messages were so in tune with what was going on with us or in the world. The passage my friend shared was no different. This was the perfect message for the day and time we live in.

Turning Point
In alignment with Spirit, I am guided to where I need to be.
Monday, February 4, 2019
“When the tide turns in nature, the oceanic flow reverses direction and moves with a new rhythm. During any seeming turbulence or turmoil, I still my thoughts and feel the inner tide of my mind and mood shifting into a harmonious and beneficial current. I let go and know that I am one with an infinite plan for my life. I relax and trust that this moment is moving me toward greater good. What is past, is past. I now catch the new motion of this tidal shift and move with it. My movements—physical, mental, and spiritual—are poised, patient, and centered. I am moving ever onward with my life. In alignment with Spirit, I am guided to where I need to be.” Step Up with Courage to Embrace the New Energies |
I believe God, Spirit, the Universe, sends us messages and when they appear several times it’s important to pay attention. This one seems in perfect alignment with everything from the scientific, astrological, to the spiritual.
Everything I read says that there will be a lot of shifts and changes this year. Changes that make us not so comfortable (thinking about all that is on the global stage and how it will affect us). I’ve have read repeatedly that solutions that weren’t available or there before – in our personal world and in the outer world – will be there. New possibilities and solutions become available after the destruction.
“It is a year referred to as the ‘Changing of the Guard’, with a clear drive forward by the feminine energy. …What is happening externally is also taking place within us, so wherever we have attachments to control in any way – reluctance to surrender, to allow the feminine to take the lead, inability to trust and deeply value ourselves, we will also be challenged, and residual fears triggered.” ~ Julie Umpleby, Diamondlightworld.com
Astrology wise we have been to ___ and back depending on what triggers and buttons we have related to fear with the eclipses and full moons last year and into January. We had a brief window of reprieve in January.
Monday was the first day of the Chinese New Year of the Earth Pig.
“Easy-going Earth Pig offers some relief after two intense years, allowing us to assimilate the upgrades and make it more earth-bound. The Earth Pig does have a tendency to overindulge…do your best to maintain balance and not over-do it. Balance in all things opens opportunities.”https://www.karmaweather.com/pig-2019-chinese-horoscope/
Astrology wise (which I never used to pay attention to but I’ve learned is so connected to everything)
“Up next is the positive influence of a New Moon on February 4th at 15º Aquarius, conjunct Mercury and tribe Jupiter. The Aquarian New Moon enhances optimism, generosity and increased spiritual awareness and insight. The world could use some positive vibes during such challenging times. This is the perfect time to start a daily meditation practice, ideal for self-reflection and dreaming. Carve out some self-care time to build a stronger connection between heaven and earth, Soul and human, and mysticism and scientific thought. ” ~ Meg Benedicte (this has been a repeated message for 2019-dream-but follow the flow)
New Energy = New Opportunity
The new energy is here. We are in the transition window, building foundation. But this is not without schlepping thru the sludge of our fears and anxiety and being open to letting go. Do you find situations keep coming up, so you’re made aware of your resistance and fear? They are for me, and my body tells me “you’re resisting”.
What works when that happens? Be still and do whatever is needed to find your center. Trust your intuition for next steps. We can’t see what is down the road but can only to travel where we feel calm, peaceful and centered. To go into the darkness of fear or stay to long in fear isn’t beneficial. In the dark, is where the possibilities lie. That means facing into the turmoil and coming home to yourself.
Take care of yourself and that little child within that needs you to reassure her all is well. None of it is easy. Believe me, I know!
What else will support us on this journey? I’m really a strong proponent of community!!!! The new feminine knows that it’s important as you travel your journey to be in strong communities with supportive friends and women who hold you, as you hold them, without judgement. This has made a big difference for me.
This is what I have found in my coaching groups. Women who have been in the groups know how to do this. Letting go of inadequacy and competition and stepping up with courage is the name of the new game on the planet. This is going to become soooooooooo important in creating something different in the world than what we see now.
Take a breath, feel love surrounding you and find your way home to yourself whatever way you can,
Bonnie
