May 2013 Energy Report: In the Shadows No More, Look Out World Here We Come

The energies of April packed a wallop for many. On some levels, we are still processing all that we experienced but if you found yourself stepping away from the pack with their old world thinking and fear mongering, you found that this new world lacking structure and full of unlimited potential was actually not a scary place to be.

Going forward it is about Being and not all about doing. By Being you and projecting that authentic you into the world, you draw others to Be their real selves, too, which will build the foundation of the new world. Trust your feelings to guide you. If something does not feel right — a job, a person, a place, a belief, a pattern — it is time to leave it behind.
If you have been doing your inner work and finding yourself more and more in the Universal flow, having gratitude for all the good things in your life now and all the good things on their way to you, you are likely noticing that you are able to recover faster than ever before when you are thrown off-center. You will still have days when you seem disconnected or overwhelmed due to the processing of your old karmic baggage, integrating strong influxes of cosmic energies, or heaviness from fear in the collective. But on such days, never allow yourself to believe that somehow you are failing or are lost on your path. Growth is defined by experiencing a wide breadth of emotions, pains, and sensations and moving through them not avoiding them.

If you find that you are struggling, overly-emotional, and having more off days than on, May is your time for breaking patterns, habits, and beliefs that are no longer working for you as the energies pushing for change will be forceful. If you stubbornly cling to the old, the eclipse period this month may be especially challenging for you as unanticipated and sudden situations may occur to propel you forward. Remember when you are trying to hold on to the past and cling to some version of you that no longer exists, you are not allowing the new to manifest. Get out of your own way once and for all. What are you refusing to look at? What are you resisting the release of? What are you not opening to? Have no fear and bravely take those first steps toward the life you always wanted and you will find a number of paths opening up for you that you never dared to hope for.

If you have been waiting for certain changes to happen and are not seeing them yet — for example, a new job or a new romantic partner — you may be frustrated or feeling you are doing something wrong. If this is you, it is best to hold your intent for those changes to occur but direct your attention in the now to making smaller changes that can bring more instant results. This shift in your energy will send a signal to the Universe that you are not focusing on what you are lacking — and thus manifesting more lack — and are focusing on change. Sometimes big changes have a lot of components that must go into place behind the scenes so there is a delay in our awareness that they are happening. But always trust that what is meant for you will come at the right time.

Another focus of this month is to shed our hang-ups and fears relating to expressing ourselves — particularly our sexuality and creativity. Some on a spiritual path reject sexuality as part of their shadow side residing at lower vibrations in the lower chakras. But such a perspective limits us and all that we are and dismisses the sacred element of sexuality. Part of being human is to be able to fully allow ourselves to open in sexual expression with another and we can actually raise our vibration by doing so. Closely related to sexuality is creativity. We are all creators and artists — not just those who are painters, sculptors, and writers. Many of us suppress our ideas, our words, and our creative expression because we are afraid of judgment and rejection from others. Or worry that we are not good enough. But when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable and express ourselves honestly, we open ourselves to a greater sense of love and acceptance. It is time that all of us embrace the parts of ourselves that we long felt necessary to hide in order to have the type of relationships, especially romantic ones, that we have always dreamed of. We have been given the gift of the ability to recreate our lives, let us all not settle once again for a life half-lived.

This month we will be more fully integrating and applying our new selves into the decisions we make and what we say and how we say it. By doing this, our lives will look very different than a short time ago. The more we allow ourselves to release what no longer is part of us and embrace all that we are, the more we will thrive and expand even more. We all feel that time is accelerating but expect it to feel even faster as a greater number of people open their hearts to experience life as never before.
