Buckle up, Friends. We've entered a period of transformation that can no longer be avoided, denied, or unclaimed. This has been sitting just under the surface for quite some time, and after receiving several "whispers," this transformation is now screaming. That's the thing about universal guidance. It provides gentle, kind nudges until the point where it takes matters into its own hands, and says, "OK, you - it's time now to pivot."

While this may feel intense, the good news is it doesn't have to be negative. We tend to internalize intensity, hold on to it, clench our body around it. It's human nature, really - to protect ourselves when things feel a bit unsafe. If we can take a step back from that internalization...lift ourselves out of the intensity...and observe it from a space where we aren't IN it, but rather adjacent to it...we can free ourselves up from some of the intensity.

This is a week to allow the transformation. To know that whatever is shifting, transforming, or changing is ultimately going to land us on the other side changed, but aligned. And to be clear, this energy is not just one week's energy - we've entered into a period of transformation - but it begins now.

If you're experiencing this physically in your body right now, remember to breathe deep into your belly - we often don't even realize the shallow nature of the breaths we take when facing periods of intensity. Also, a simple act of stretching for 30 seconds to one minute in the middle of your day can help the energy to move through you. As Archangel Zadkiel reminds us on this week's card, we can also send up a simple wish to invite him in for support during this transformation. He, along with his Violet Flame energy, can help us as we burn away that which no longer serves us to make space for what will. What a beautfiul support to have as we enter this period of shifts and changes.

So, remember to breathe deep. Stretch. Trust. Ground. And settle in. We're with you, Friends! :)
