It’s coming and we can feel it. The tide of energy around us is changing. We are waking from that slumber of winter and the umbrella of 2024 energies that have kept us in a space of slow contemplation and gaining of clarity.
For some this is a time of having the proverbial basket dumped upside down and having every last grain of dirt pounded out. There is change afoot my friends. For others there is this quiet but very apparent sense of movement, of something is coming but we don’t know what.
There is change afoot. As the vibrations of 2025 truly start to take hold we are feeling the early signs of what Deepak Chopra calls “the imaginal self.” He used the analog of the caterpillar deep within the chrysalis, decaying to a blob of goo, turning definitively towards death, except for the one remaining cell that knows its destiny.
We too contain that imaginal self. The Divine knowing that this life is for us, and that we have everything in place to step more solidly, more profoundly into our purpose and meaning here. We know intuitively that everything is going according to plan even when the plan is clearly not the one that we contrived in our human mind, or ego comfort, or that allows us to stay comfortable in the way things have always been.
You were made for more than that. In our February LampLighter Spirit talked about our Divine self beginning to know its course like a seed knows which way is up as it cracks the shell on its way to the surface into its great becoming. We are like the seed. Gently waking from our slumber, feeling the warmth of the sun drawing us towards what we are meant for.
In this time I beg you to be soft with yourself. To leave plenty of room for shifting and changing and knowing as Spirit tells us often in LampLighter, that “we are operating on your behalf.” This is a year for change. What you know doesn’t serve you will be lifted away and what will be revealed may feel like your most vulnerable self, but in essence it is the truest version of you that has existed here in this life. The goal for this year is to let go of the falsehoods, the ‘not you’s,’ the keeping up with anyone, and to allow yourself to move, step by step towards the experience of yourself that brings you JOY.
As we step to the end of February those seeds will start to buzz with the knowing that it is time to move into their becoming. Take your nod from nature.
It’s time to let go and grow, baby.
Forever the journey, Anne
