Shedding the Cocoon – March 2018 ENERGY FORECAST by Emmanuel Dagher Your Monthly Spiritual Roadmap



Hi my friend,


It’s an honor for me to connect with you in this way. As always, we have so much to catch up on, so let’s get right to it!


March will be a time of Divine Alchemy at its finest, as we are called to “shed our cocoon.”
By the end of the month, we will feel like a completely different person from who we were at the start of it!


With all of the internal and external changes that took place in January and February, many of us chose to hibernate and hide from the world for a bit.


Pulling back in this way can often feel like a setback to the mind. Yet there’s a great healing that occurs when we are able to pause and go within for a while.


Shedding The Cocoon


During the month of March, a new vigor will be reignited within each of us that will help give us the energy and willingness to shed the cocoon we’ve been dwelling in.


Creative expressions, ideas, and projects we had previously shelved will make their way to the forefront of our consciousness.


Connections that we’ve had with people, places, and experiences that are important to us will be reignited and strengthened.


An important aspect of shedding the cocoon is that it also invites us to reflect on the behaviors, patterns, belief systems, and stories the mind has created for itself and grown accustomed to.


When we reflect, we help ourselves get clear on whether or not we really want to carry a certain energy forward.


At the beginning of March, we will be guided to reflect on the things we are ready to let go of, so we can make room for what we want to experience more of.


When letting go of old behaviors, patterns, and stories that no longer feel good to our Spirit, the mind often becomes more sensitive, because it thinks that it is losing something it needs.


If you are someone who notices their mind is feeling more sensitive than usual (producing thoughts that are fearful, pessimistic, or judgmental), instead of being hard on yourself, be extra loving and gentle with yourself.


This helps the mind move into a greater sense of peace and understanding that it’s actually not losing anything by letting go of the old patterns it has identified with, but gaining much more of what it desires.


The human part of the mind simply desires to receive comfort, safety, love, and attention—that’s all!


When the mind receives these four things, it will always be on board to expand, grow, and flow with your Spirit.


By mid to late March, we will find ourselves feeling more grounded, present, and ready to come out of the cocoon completely.


Exploration


Once we have freed ourselves from the cocoon, a great sense of curiosity and a desire to explore will emerge.


There’s a prominent belief in the collective consciousness that being curious can bring negative repercussions.


This belief is actually the mind’s way of trying to be in control the best way it knows how, by keeping itself inside the imaginary structures and walls it has created for itself.


At our core, we are Spiritual beings. Spirit is naturally curious, because it naturally expands and evolves.


As a Spiritual being, we know that we are not confined to anything or anyone, ever.
To the mind, this type of free and open awareness can be overwhelming, especially for those who have focused on developing more of their left brain, which is the organized, rational, structured-thought part of the brain.


However, we have and will continue to be nudged to equally develop our right brain, which represents the creative, nurturing, spiritual, and loving aspects of ourselves.


The right side of the brain is the part of the body that our Spirit communicates with first, because it can process and understand the information in the easiest and most digestible way.


As we continue to develop this part of ourselves, we become clearer vessels for guidance from our Spirit, and are fully able to embrace the part of ourselves that is naturally curious.


Towards mid to late March, you may find yourself feeling guided to explore more.


Exploring can come in many different forms. You may feel guided to explore more internal aspects of yourself, such as your thoughts, your gifts, talents, desires, etc. … 


You may also feel guided to explore more of your outer world, by physically getting out there and experiencing more of your immediate environment.


You can do this by traveling, or by getting involved in different communities that resonate with you.


Sometimes just being out in Nature more and listening to the sounds of a stream or the wind in the trees, or tuning into the presence of the rocks or the trees—feeling their spirit and vibration—can offer you an energy that helps restore you to the feeling of being your true self.


Creative expression, or giving to others, such as in volunteer work, can also help to bring us back to who we really are—back to our own higher vibration.


March will be an excellent time to be curious and explore all things that resonate with us, as this will enrich our lives in ways that will help us experience a quantum leap in our growth and personal expansion.



A Technicolor Perspective


As we move through all that March is bringing our way, we will find that towards the end of the month, something quite extraordinary will be happening.Perspectives, ideas, experiences, people, places—things we once saw in a particular way—will be changing.


It’s not just that these things are changing themselves. Our perspective is also changing, by evolving and growing past our previous capacity for understanding.


We will find that we no longer operate in the old paradigm of duality, rooted in the belief that there’s only right or wrong.


This will allow us to see and experience life more in a multidimensional way.

The best way to describe it, is that rather than operating from a black-or-white mindset, everything becomes technicolored.


Life looks and feels very different and much more satisfying in technicolor!


When we choose to see in technicolor, we see, receive, and feel things we’ve experienced before.


Sounds, tastes, fragrances, shapes, colors, and textures suddenly radiate more beauty and hold more life.


We are able to honor and respect other people’s perspectives and ideas, even if they are different from our own.


It becomes easier to embody energies of compassion and love for all, including for ourselves, because we are open and connected.


Our mind may be wondering right now how we’ll get to this technicolor way of seeing and experiencing life.


The thing is, the mind doesn’t need to know “how” this is going to happen.


All that is asked of us, is to be loving and gentle with ourselves as we navigate through the month of March and beyond.


Everything else will take care of itself.


Being loving and gentle with ourselves allows us to naturally ride the waves of evolution that are impacting us all naturally at a core level.


We don’t have to “do” anything else.


As we reach the last few days of March, we will notice ourselves coming back into a state of play, ease, and joy. These will feel like they’ve kept their distance for a while.


However, when these energies show up, we will be able to embrace them from our new technicolor world.


And what an awesome experience that will be!


Until next time,


Miraculously yours,
Emmanuel

5 Essential Tips for Spiritual Growth a message from Owen Waters | Spirit Library


5 Essential Tips for Spiritual Growth
a message from Owen Waters | Spirit Library

Friday, 26 September, 2014

Spiritual growth is the growing awareness of a higher level of consciousness.

A higher level of consciousness brings an expanded view of reality. The more your view of reality expands, the more you are able to integrate any conflicting issues within yourself.

Spiritual growth has become such an urgent issue today because the frequency of everyone's consciousness is rising. The Shift into higher consciousness is propelling today's search for spirituality and meaning in life.

Spiritual growth involves gaining a deeper sense of inner awareness. Spiritual experiences can range from light meditation to a complete and blissful union with your true, inner self.

The following 5 tips will help you focus on the road to rapid spiritual growth and help you steer your life toward more happiness and fulfillment.

1) Life is what happens within, even though it appears to happen "out there." All changes of significance happen within, so look for the inner meaning in all outer experiences.

2) Remember that, even though it may not seem like it, we are divinely connected. Within your inner being is a connection to Infinite Being, the All That Is.

3) Shift your focus from the news and its depressive intent and turn toward books and courses that will uplift and inspire you. Time well spent is an investment in your future growth and happiness.

4) Encourage others to turn their attention to spiritual growth. By helping others, you open up an energetic flow that will bring more opportunities for spiritual growth into your own life. It's a matter of free flow: When you give something, the flow attracts more of the same to you.

5) Allow your sense of curiosity free rein. It is the most fundamental sense in Creation and it is best applied to your spiritual growth. Learn everything you can while allowing that divine sense of curiosity to lead the way.

These steps will help you develop your spiritual awareness and personal power, and a true sense of spiritual freedom.

July 2014 Astro-Energy Report: Making Up For Lost Time

by Sarah Varcas

 
From June to August 2014 the yearning for greater authenticity is powerfully supported by the cosmos, especially throughout July. Many are conscious these days of a burgeoning restlessness alongside the desire to live a more satisfying life. The need to emerge from the mass-unconsciousness of everyday routine and unquestioned assumptions has grown exponentially in the past few months and we now have the opportunity to find the answer to some of our key questions. Increasing dissatisfaction with the status quo propels us on a journey of discovery and these three months provide a map to find our way into a more authentic and vibrant existence.

We are not, however, talking about an ‘off-the-peg’ answer to our dreams. Instead we can receive insight into whether those dreams faithfully reflect the truth of who we are. If not, they may simply reflect naive yearnings for a magical solution when, in fact, our life requires fundamental change not just the odd tweak here and there! There is work to be done now, not a magic wand to be waved, but if we truly desire change we now have the chance to embrace it, especially in July when no less than five planets change signs (Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Sun and Mars), one of them twice (Mercury). To see so much change in a single month tells us there are energies around willing us to shift too. In doing so we are not swimming against the tide but being swept up along with it. And with an emphasis on planets in Cancer and Leo this month we are encouraged to both establish who forms our true family – be they blood relatives, partners, friends, colleagues or spiritual companions – and how we fit into that family as individuals with our own unique contribution to make.

The month begins with Mercury stationing direct on 1st, which may come as something of a relief if the previous three weeks have been rather trying! That said, whatever obstacles we have encountered during this time merely show us where we now need to focus our attention, smooth out wrinkles and clarify misunderstandings. If we’ve used the past three weeks well, exploring the deeper meaning of frustrations encountered, the outcome will be greater clarity in moving forward, which is never a bad thing! If we’ve allowed ourselves to get lost in the frustrations without engaging with their message we may have something of a mess to untangle, but it’s not the end of the world and by 6th July we should be able to see our way forward with greater clarity if we need to.

A Full Moon in Capricorn on 12th July reminds us that curiosity is a helpful state to cultivate at time of change: about ourselves, our lives and those of the people around us. It can be all too easy to write someone off as ‘not my type’ without pausing to look beyond first impressions or knee jerk judgements. This Moon speaks of the need for openness to difference, even as we define more clearly our own personal truths. We do not have to reject those who do not share our way anymore than we must embrace those who do. The complexities of a human family in a process of conscious evolution necessitates the acceptance of polarities, paradoxes and difference, for without acceptance we can all too easily fracture into opposing sides slinging mud at each other to no helpful end. And there is way too much mud-slinging at the heart of humanity already!

As we emerge from the other side of the Full Moon, the 16th to 18th July see Mars crossing the Libran Lunar Eclipse degree of 15th April, signalling an opportunity to ‘reboot’ the changes we decided upon then and see them through to completion. I spoke back then of shape-shifting before change becomes unavoidable, rather than being forced to adjust as an act of desperation after clinging onto the old for way too long. If we managed to do the former, this month will see some solid results from our commitment to keep up with life’s demands. If, however, we dragged our feet or dug them in firmly, refusing to change, whilst the path ahead may have its ups and downs, this time offers an opportunity to make up some ground and implement some of the changes we knew back then we really need to make.

The 20th and 21st July (GMT) see Saturn station direct and Uranus station retrograde within a day of each other, signalling the beginning of a phase during which external limitations and demands can trigger inner change as we begin to recognise that true freedom exists apart from circumstances not as a result of them. Everyone wants the life of their dreams, but everyday reality often falls far short! Sages throughout history have reminded us that true freedom is found within, independent of external conditions and in the coming months we have an opportunity to discover what that truly means. But how do we reconcile this truth with the fact that many situations feel toxic and heavy and we know we need to remove ourselves from them in order to thrive? This central challenge of the spiritual path presents itself for deep enquiry now, and is one to which the heavens will return many times in the coming months. The shift in direction of Saturn and Uranus at this point merely signals the beginning of a profound inner shift available to us all if we are willing to enquire deep enough and allow some of the most intransigent aspects of our feelings, beliefs and behaviours access to the penetrating light of self and spiritual enquiry.

As the Sun moves from Cancer to Leo on 22nd July (GMT) the rest of the month is imbued with the essence of collaboration alongside healthy expression of individuality. We are reminded these are not opposing states but complementary aspects of human nature. The better we can define what and who we are the more effectively we can collaborate and bring to the collective our very best, fulfilling the roles to which we are best suited. This requires neither false modesty nor overblown pride, but instead a quiet knowing of our essential self and what we have to offer for the greater good.

A Leo New Moon conjunct Jupiter on 26th / 27th July, reminds us that living in all our glory is a must if we are to fulfil the potential of this human birth. But doing so requires diligence and wisdom to ensure that we live from a place of passion balanced with discernment, and self-assurance balanced with humility. We are never too old to learn, too perfect to make a mistake nor too special to be part of the crowd. Nor are we ever so wrong we can never be right, such a failure that there’s no hope, or so far from our true path that we’ll never find our way home. Life is ever changing, as are we. Each moment is new no matter how old and stale it may feel, and with each new moment we can decide how to be, how to move forward and which bits of the past, if any, to take with us.

As July comes to a close we have the opportunity to reflect on just how much of our inner experience is at the mercy of the apparently random nature of life events, and how much is more readily influenced by the fruits of our own spiritual practice and enquiry. A spiritual path followed only for its material rewards is no path at all when life intervenes and the unexpected arises. But one which nourishes wisdom, insight and peace in the face of adversity, by default creates a more fulfilling and authentic life, for a peaceful heart sees the potential in the present moment and a clear mind knows how to fulfil it.
