Emmanuel Dagher: Turning the Page – August 2020 Energy Update

Turning the Page – August 2020 Energy Update

by Emmanuel Dagher | Jul 30, 2020 | Monthly Forecast

Hi my friend,

It’s a blessing for me to connect with you in this way. We have a lot to catch up on, so let’s get right to it!

August is going to feel very different from what we’ve experienced in the last several months. After moving through some deep emotional introspection, healing, and for many, a bit of emotional isolation in recent months, August energies will serve as the turning of a page.

They will help us move beyond much of the heaviness many have been feeling and processing, within themselves and in the outer world.

We may already be feeling the internal changes happening, which include a renewed sense of vigor and a desire to be more proactive.

Similar to the seasons, energy goes through different cycles. Sometimes the energy is in a dormant cycle, and at other times, it’s in an active cycle.

We have just entered a highly active energy cycle that will help us, individually and as a collective, to transform a great deal of the density we have been moving through, allowing for more light, ease, and grace to flow through our experience.

A Season of Change and Action

As we move through the month of August, the energies will pick up again. An active energy cycle often manifests itself in our personal lives in the following ways:

• Beginning a new project, job, or creative venture
• Cleaning up and resolving past debts (personal, financial, etc.)
• Deciding to move to a new home / location
• Experiencing changes in appetite and eating habits
• Wanting to be more social and to make new friends
• Finding a new outlet to express our creativity
• Starting a new relationship or rekindling a previous one
• Feeling more motivated, inspired, and action-oriented
• Taking a trip
• Exercising and being more physically active
• Taking a new class or course
• Making actual changes happen in one area of life or another
• Cleaning our house or living space
  
  
  

If any of these examples resonate with you, now is an excellent time to align with them.


An active energy cycle often manifests itself on the world stage in ways that include:

• Continued Earth shifts and movements
• Unusual changes in weather patterns
• New information, technologies, and breakthroughs that make a collective impact
• Heightened awareness of causes that impact humanity
• Social change
• Chaos
• Paradigm-shifting events
• The transcending of old ideology and structures that are no longer aligned with our collective highest good

Although some of these things can seem a bit overwhelming, they are all confirmations that the world is adjusting to a higher frequency.

Because change isn’t something the world is always comfortable with, a bit of resistance is a good indicator that big breakthroughs are on the near horizon.

Taking Inspired Action

There are two kinds of action: inspired action and forced action.

When we try to take forced action, we usually come up against a great deal of inner and outer resistance.


Making or forcing something to happen often requires that we spend lots of time and energy on something that may not be natural to us. It often feels hard, and requires a great deal of outer control.

Many of us were taught growing up that making or forcing something to happen is what brings it to us. We were taught that if we were assertive about making our dreams a reality, we would be rewarded with positive results.

We were told that the harder we worked, the more things we could acquire to make us happy.

Even though this method may work temporarily, most of the time it comes with a hefty price, like the disruption of our well-being.

When we operate from a space of always trying to make or force something to happen, that usually puts a great deal of pressure and stress on our emotional and mental bodies.

Over time, this shows up as an imbalance in our emotional, mental, or physical body.

But there is a kind of action that doesn’t require us to push so hard, and that is inspired action.

When we take inspired action, we do so from a place of awareness, ease, and grace.

We become so present to the opportunities and blessings the Universe is offering us, that we easily step into them from a place of gratitude. There’s no force, control, or pressure needed.

With inspired action comes the realization that the Universe/our Spirit is taking care of us fully.

Holding that as true, we no longer need to oversee or control every specific detail in our lives. We move out of any survival or victim patterns.

Taking inspired action is not to be confused with sitting around and waiting for life to make things happen for us.

It does, however, mean that we are intentionally choosing to be present and open to the opportunities that come our way.

The Universe/our Spirit is constantly gifting us with new opportunities and blessings that will help us create the kind of life we truly desire.

However, when we are focused on the future or dwelling in the past, which most people have been taught to do, we tend to miss what’s being presented to us in the present moment.

It’s in this present moment that we are the most effective, deliberate creator of our lives.

Because of the concentration of highly active energies right now, it has become very challenging and almost uncomfortable for us to procrastinate—to resist being active.

Even if it’s as simple as going for a walk outside or moving our body through dance or any kind of aerobic exercise, these inspired actions will serve us greatly during this time.




From Fear to Love

When we move through a highly active energy cycle, a great deal of movement and change occurs. When this happens, a lot of unprocessed fear tends to come to the surface for us to look at, address, and heal.

When fear comes up as result of change, our mind tries to do everything it can to distract itself, simply because we have not been taught to embrace and honor the feelings we have associated with the actual fear.

Often, the mind even convinces itself that its identity will be lost if it does not fight back or resist whatever it is fearing.

We are seeing this collective resistance at its peak right now, which is clear confirmation that enormous breakthroughs are coming soon.

Of course, those on a mindful path have accustomed their minds to work harmoniously with
their hearts. They are able to readily embrace change and honor the fear associated with it in a gentler way.

While moving through a highly active energy cycle, it can be very easy to get caught up in the fear tactics the collective mind is conditioned to buy into. It often even affects those who have been on a spiritual and mindful path—they can also get caught up in the illusion of duality (good vs. bad, us vs. them.)

If you find yourself getting upset or emotionally charged in any way, be gentle with yourself, and know it’s OK to be human.

Give yourself permission to move through the emotions you are experiencing, and once they become calmer, and not as charged . . . saturate them with love and acceptance.

This will allow you to move forward with more ease, and return to your natural loving state.

Also take comfort in knowing that there’s much light and kindness in the world, even amidst the turbulence. It’s not something that is center stage in the mainstream dialogue right now, but one day it will be.

A Powerful Surrogate

Each of us is a powerful surrogate for humanity. Every situation we are seeing out in the world is directly linked to what each of us is experiencing within ourselves.

When we see separation, war, and fighting in the world, we have the power to remedy it by choosing to exemplify unity, love, and peace within ourselves.

This is what Gandhi meant when he said, “Be the change . . .”

When we worry less about aggressively trying to fix the world outside of us, and focus more on being proactive in taking care of the world within us, then the outside world will naturally heal.

This is not to be mistaken with ignoring all the challenges happening in the world. It’s important to acknowledge and be aware of what’s occurring.

Yet instead of reacting to it all from the helpless victim viewpoint, we can use these challenges as feedback to focus on what we’d like to see more of in the world.

We can do so by being the first to embody the qualities we’d like to see more of.

Transcending the Role of the Victim

Right now, we are being presented with an extraordinary opportunity to retire the victim archetypes that we and our ancestors have identified with for millennia.

It’s important to take a moment to honor these archetypes for serving to keep us safe and protected in a world based on survival. However, we now know that a world based purely on survival is a world that is no longer in alignment with who we are at our core: a Divine Love Being.

As Divine Love Beings, we are here to thrive our way into love with ourselves and the world around us. This Divine part of ourselves has always known that we are constantly safe and protected, even when our survival-based mind thought otherwise.

So now, as we thank the victim archetypes that served us up to this point, we can let them go with joy, and welcome in our Authentic Selves.

The path to transcending the role of the victim has several important components:

• The first component of releasing victim consciousness is to accept every person, experience, and thing, however they show up in our lives, without trying to change them.

  By accepting these things, we are not necessarily affirming that we resonate or agree with them. We are giving ourselves permission to not allow them to define who we really are.

  Through acceptance, we also release the need to dwell on the past, and what may have been.

• The second component of releasing victim consciousness is to let go of blame.

  Blame comes from a need to make something or someone right or wrong, or good or bad, and somehow responsible for what we have experienced.

  In truth, we are the Creator of our experience.

  When we operate from our Highest Selves, and acknowledge ourselves as Creator, we transcend these judgments. From our Highest Selves, we navigate our way forward by noting what feels to be in alignment for us and what doesn’t.

  Can you feel how this insight alone already feels lighter? Whereas, by blaming, we keep ourselves held in a time and place that hinders us from evolving and reconnecting with our Highest, most Divine Self.

• The third component of releasing victim consciousness is to take full responsibility for our lives and well-being.

  Sometimes the victim mindset displays resistance when it hears that we are responsible for our lives and well-being. This is because for so long, it took comfort in separating itself, buying into the illusion that whatever we need has to come from outside ourselves.

  It’s absolutely normal when this happens. Yet by taking responsibility for our lives and well-being, we are able to move out of victim consciousness and into Creator consciousness.

  It is from within our Creator consciousness that we are able to move mountains. It is from there that we are able to manifest from the most authentic and powerful aspect of ourselves.

By integrating these three components into our lives, we are sure to support our transition out of victim consciousness and into Creator consciousness far more smoothly.

Reclaiming Our Power

The greatest power in the world is LOVE.

When we embody Love, we are the most powerful being in the Universe. Contrary to what we may have been taught, being loving does not mean that we are weak pushovers, or that we look the other way when times get tough.

Real Love does not hurt, feel difficult, or have us giving away or hiding some part of ourselves. These are mental constructs that simply distract us from real Love.

Real Love is the constant that flows throughout all of life. When we choose to be Love, we have the whole Universe behind us, flowing in the same direction.


Because of societal conditioning, many of us have been hesitant to reclaim our power, because we associate it with being corrupt or controlling.

That kind of false or egoistic power moves in the opposite direction of Love. It likes to separate itself from the whole. Although that kind of power can appear quite real and convincing at times, the truth is, it’s not.

Egoic power is fleeting, and will always at some point self-destruct in its attempt to push against the natural flow of Love and life. Egoic power thrives on the energy of fear, because it’s the only thing convincing enough to move a person out of their true Divine power.

Of course, this forgetful period is temporary, but we’ve got to hand it to the energy of egoistic power for putting up a great show, trying to make itself last as long as possible.

Life is always here for us, and never against us. We can take comfort in knowing that by choosing not to buy into fear, we have every ounce of the Universe supporting us.

Anything that tries to convince us otherwise, such as an idea that we are some small, helpless human being, or are lacking in some way, is just a fleeting illusion.

By surrendering to Love, we empower ourselves and those around us to such a degree that we are able to transform even the most egoic of powers into Love.

It’s time

Until next time,

Miraculously yours,
Emmanuel

Lee Harris Energy:

 AUGUST ENERGY UPDATE

Entering a New Phase – Silence before Speed,
Slow Burning Presence and Fast Visions, Dreams and Ideas.

https://youtu.be/vKvrgy59OVg

 

https://youtu.be/vKvrgy59OVg

If you are feeling like you have been through the wringer the last month or so, you are right on track. August will in some ways be a lot calmer and smoother in terms of the waters of life. But that's in preparation for September when the speed will kick off again, so this is a month where we enter a new phase for the rest of the year. So, many of you will feel like you're coming to the end of a period of reviewing and clearing in August, and ready to move into a period from September onwards where more birth and foundational energy will be available. August itself will have a very different energy signature to the last 2 or 3 months; a period which brought with it many surprises, twists and turns, and unexpected events.

The main themes to focus on for August for this NEW PHASE WE ARE ENTERING are:

• A NEW LEVEL OF PRESENCE
• VISIONS, DREAMS AND EPIPHANIES
• SELF-CARE BEING NEEDED NOW MORE THAN EVER
  

What I was shown for August is that we're about to enter a very new phase which makes sense of the last month or two - the intensity, the push-pull, the high emotions, the moving from one state to another quite fast. There has been a lot of vibrational upshift happening, in an awkward, uncomfortable or sometimes messy way. But this has been in relation to (and preparation for) the new phase we enter now in August. So, for those of you who are looking for a reprieve from the intensity, and surfing the extremes of the past few months, it's going to take some time for that ‘clearing’ phase to calm down somewhat. So, self-care and your self-care needs are going to continue to be of high importance.

VISIONS – DREAMS – EPIPHANIES

Couple of different things for this month to watch out for this month, and some of you may be experiencing this already. You will be getting many visions, many ideas, many dreams. More than you can possibly act on. And I know for some of us there is a temptation when we get all of those dreams and epiphanies to ponder, "Oh, this is a great idea." and "Oh yeah, I should act on that..." 
Just a reminder of something I've said over the last few years, which is given that we are in such high ascension energies, regarding your visions and ideas, they aren’t all meant to be brought into 3D reality.  The reason we have so many dreams, visions and epiphanies is part of our review process as a soul. And many of these things come not because we need to act on them or put them into concrete reality but because we dimensionally have an experience of them. So unless everything in your life and everything in grounded reality is saying, "Yes! This creation is working, this idea is flowing", try to remember that the movie screen in our mind is important but not all of it needs to be made concrete.

So, for example, you may suddenly wake up tomorrow and go, "Oh my god, I need to learn how to be the world's greatest painter!" And you head towards that and as you do, it just doesn't feel right or true. This is because many times we'll have ideas of what should be playing out in form that are really simply energetics at work. So, what might actually be happening for you (regarding the idea of being a painter) is you are opening your way of seeing and the way that you see the world and that new level of energetic seeing is going to play out in aspects of your life, aspects of your career.

In the olden days, it might have meant, yes, you need to go and be the world's greatest painter. But try to remember that what we're crossing over into now is a much more non-linear way of thinking and being. That does not mean we're all going to achieve non-linear living and thinking all the time - far from it. But it does mean that more of these energies are hitting the planet and hitting our own consciousness. So, as this happens we can get into this very awkward, weird push-pull between the old mind which goes, "Oh, well, surely I must act on this." And the new mind which goes, "No, this is something you might have acted on five years ago but now I'm just showing you it's an energy experience. A new awareness. And what we're doing is cycling you through all of these different choices that you have and waiting to see which one feels right and which one lands."

So is it a new awareness you are opening or a new nudge to actually create that you are having? Important to discern the difference right now as it can be tricky to know which.

I bring this up because, in August especially, these dreams, visions, epiphanies and ideas are going to continue to be strong as part of you reviewing your life, this world, and reviewing what's next. We're in a planetary wide review of life and consciousness itself, and it's an experience that’s going on for everybody. And so, sure, there will be some things you will want to act upon. But be aware that the more you access your higher consciousness, the dreams, visions, epiphanies are simply part of the clearing and upgrading process. And if you picked on every single dream or vision or epiphany and started putting it into action, you would actually disconnect from some of the high frequencies available for the next steps in your life. Five years ago, might have been great, today, not so much. And you'll find that life will show you that. You'll start to move towards something, and it won't work very well. Or it will seem like it's working and then it will get capsized. Can you wait out the impulse to ‘do’, until the next level is shown to you?

Try to remember that everything here is experienced-based. And that's hard for us all, because we haven't been societally trained with that value system. We're having to re-learn that it is our experiences down here on the planet are really the gold of everything. It's not the externalized outcome or the externalized achievement or externalized relationship. They're just the constructs through which we get to experience, and for some people, what I'm saying would seem completely out-there or other-worldly. But more and more people on the planet are waking up to this as a truth. Waking up to it is one thing, letting it move into our body, our psyche, our emotions and our habits is a whole other level of awakening.

That level of awakening is going to get a little easier to implement in the next year or two. As I say this, I feel like I'm speaking to those of you who are kind of wringing your hands about, "Oh my god, these patterns. Why can't I move them? Why can't I shift them?" Try and remember that we often don't see the thing that we are becoming. We will tend to focus on the thing we're not becoming. It's like, "Oh god, why am I still hard on myself?" Okay you might still be hard on yourself. You might still have some practice around that to develop and you may go through your whole life with an aspect of you that wants to be hard on yourself. But you will develop a strategy to love yourself whenever that side of you appears.

So, try not to worry too much about what you think you aren't getting right, or achieving.
If you catch yourself in that state, the remedy and more importantly, the wider perspective is to ask yourself, “What am I achieving? What actually is going my way? Oh, actually, you know what? I really didn't want to take that test that I have to take for this course that I know I want to do, but I REALLY didn't want to do it. I took it this month. It wasn't easy for me, but I pushed myself through it. I did it. Okay!"

It's really important for us all to become more and more aware of our inner selves and the negative or the shadow side of ourselves, especially right now when those things are being raised to the surface. We don't have any choice. It's right here in our face - our shadow sides, our biggest fears. That's what happens the more we awaken.

So, sure, there are epiphanies. There are deeper senses of connection, there's bigger heart energy that's available. But as you move into that space, so too will the work come up. And the work is really how much can we love ourselves through all the twists and turns that show up in our own self which is highly catalyzed at times like this, where there is far more public conversation about people not liking what they're seeing in the world at an all new level. Which is completely understandable, because what is going on in the outer world, is going on for us in the inner world too.

NEW LEVEL OF PRESENCE

I mentioned earlier taking things slow in August in order to experience a new level of presence. So, some of you will already be tapped into this, but more and more people are going to start to get to experience this beauty of presence. So even if you’re having a rough day, most of you should also be able to, within that rough day, go, "Wow! I just felt really peaceful and really at ease for 10 minutes. That's a bit of a miracle. I didn't used to feel this way."

So, these are the NEW HIGHS. This is what it feels like to be stabilizing a new level of high for yourself. And that high might feel like peace, it might feel like hyper-awareness, it might be that you see the connection in everything, it might be that you feel love in your heart towards people you previously may have been offended towards or felt some fear around. The high shows up differently for all of us as consciousness moves through our body. Consciousness starts to open different parts of us at different times. So for somebody, it's a heart opening where consciousness first appears; for another person, it's a third eye opening and they get more intuitive and they start to go, "Wow, I'm noticing things and I'm seeing synchronicities and I'm starting to realize there is a bit of a cosmic pattern at work in my life."

The thing I'm finding fascinating about this time is having been a channeler, an energy reporter, someone who's worked in the transformation field for 15 years - been a student of it for 25 or more - I'm noticing how many people are beginning to have what they previously would have called, you know, “bat-shit crazy” awakening experiences. It's like, "Wow, that just happened to me." In the old days, it would have been something to push away, something to judge, something to make fun of. And these days, people are beginning to recognize there are synchronicities at work, intuitive experiences at work and an undeniable force that is moving through our planet and us individually.

So, I've said this before but try and remember that you might not have seen your Uncle Frank for the last four years and you might have an idea of how fixed in his ways Uncle Frank is. But one of the things that is going to continually surprise you in the months and years to come is how much more open most people are capable of being now. And how so many people are being broken open. If you think of how many people are in crisis in your life right now, allow yourself to then realise that this crisis energy is going around for everybody. There are more people in emotional, physical or circumstantial need right now on the planet than ever before. You'll notice this and you'll notice that these struggles are often the catalyst to awaken people into their hearts, their consciousness. It's a shame it has to happen that way. It's far nicer when it happens without a pressured circumstance, but that pressure is a part of how consciousness is opening and spreading across the planet.

So, try and be open to those people who are opening. And remember that for all of us it can be quite challenging, as we dance between old parts of ourself and new parts of ourself. So remember that today is new - and everything that we're about to move through is quite new. But most of us in this dance of the extremes that I was talking about, especially in the month of July, we're going between old patterns, old ideas, old beliefs and then straight into new ideas, new beliefs, new experiences. What's missing for many of us is the middle ground. This is how the extremes work - so there's the stretch between old ways (what we're letting go of) and the new ways (what we're moving into and becoming). And often it feels like there's a very thin line connecting them. The way to develop the middle ground and make that distance feel less stretched and more solid really is self-care.

SELF-CARE – DO THE BEST YOU CAN

Over the years I've tried many different things for self-care, and different things have worked for me at different times. So I'm always encouraging people when they ask me the question, “What's a good self-care practice?”’ that it’s a highly personal thing and it's so important to investigate and learn what works for you. It's very easy when you're in that place that we've all been in where you're beating yourself up, having a rough day or being hard on yourself. You're thinking there's something wrong with you or your life and forgetting that everybody's having those moments, those hours, those days, those weeks at some point in their life.

So, remember that self-care for us is an ever-evolving process. It might be yoga for you last month and this month it might be dancing and running along the beach. It might be something seemingly very, very mundane. It's easy to make self-care grandiose. But actually, self-care is found in the small, simple things.

• Is your introvert side getting enough quiet moments by yourself while you're busy with all your friends on holiday? Are you going off by yourself just for 10 minutes a few times a day so that you can reset and come back to yourself? 
• Is the part of you that needs to express doing simple things like keeping a journal, keeping a gratitude list, writing out a few messages to yourself every morning for two minutes, channeling for yourself? 
• Does a certain good quality food or drink make you happy and feel nourished?

There are so many different, and simple ways to practise self care and the need for self-care is really high at the moment for two reasons:

• Number one: For you to ingrain and integrate everything that is moving through you in your higher consciousness.
• Number two: The world is in a SELF-CARE CRISIS.
  

If you look at what's going on on the planet itself, and then if you look at how that's impacting us as a people, and how much VULNERABILITY is showing up in us as a human society, care is needed everywhere you look. And so it is for you too. That's the importance of self-care practices. Self-care is not a luxury and it's not you running away and hiding. It's you making sure that regularly, throughout your day, you are tending to yourself and nurturing yourself for just a few minutes regularly - or maybe longer. Maybe you need days to recover. Because the world is in need of care right now and we can't give it out unless we also look after ourselves on this level.

The message that I got is, even for those of you who've practiced self-care for a long time, you will either be stepping into the next level of teaching and talking about this to others and don't dismiss it. Because we do need to be taught the simple things if it isn't our mastery. But equally you might find yourself going to the next level.

Because the next level of everything is available to us right now. So, for you the next level of self-care might have some more extreme actions or intentions behind it. And if it's not self-care, you'll find you want to go to the next level of your life, your artistry, your creation, your service.

Be PATIENT with yourself as that next level desire surges up. Don't worry if it then goes away an hour or two later. That's part of the process at the moment. There's an up and a down force in motion and know that you aren't doing anything wrong. You are right in the heart of the energetics of the planet. And part of all of this for us is we haven't lived through a period like this before on earth, so our minds don't necessarily fully understand it. We can't fully track it. It's new to us. So, the little freak outs that we can all have about, "What the hell's going on down here?", are quite to be expected. What will help is if you can just keep breathing into what do I need next? What do I need right now in this now moment? Where can I place my focus right now that is going to bring me to a calmer, more open and more supported state?

DISSONANCE WITH OTHERS

We are entering this NEW PHASE and one of the things that I will just bring up as the last point today is don't be too surprised if you are experiencing dissonance with people. This is because people are having dissonant experiences of themselves. And what I mean by that is you might think, "Wow, Jeff was a bit odd last week." Everybody's feeling a bit odd. People are a little bit out of their normal personalities that you might be used to seeing them in or feeling them in. And so are you, probably.

And so, it's really important to have an understanding of that and/or a patience and a compassion for that. I have a friend a few days ago who's like, "Oh, I don't know if I'm in the mood to go out. I don't know if I should go out." And I said, "Well, check your body. What does your body say?"

I have this thing called the Body Test. I use it a lot. You just literally ask your body, this is me going out, how does that feel? Feel it for 10-15 seconds and then, this is me staying home. How does that feel? 10-15 seconds and you'll feel a difference. My friend said, "Well, my body actually feels better if I go out, but I'm surprised. I don't feel great." And I said, "Don't worry. Probably where you're going there are other people who don't feel great who need to be together and need to be in community."

COMMUNITY is really important, especially as so much of our information and connection is coming through devices now. It's great, can be good, but it also has to be monitored and limited. Because the problem is if we don't get that real connection with each other, we don't get the strength and the energy that we need. So, you might surprise yourself with where you're willing to go. And try and remember that if you're feeling dissonant, where you're about to go there'll be someone else who feels the same way - but through coming together, you'll both get to land and ground.

Have a wonderful August everyone.

Big love,
Lee
