August 2024 Wisdom Themes
Major Theme: Celebration and Expansion
1. Adapting to Fear: Discomfort is the environment of growth. Either we shift our focus to embrace the challenge or we shy away out of fear. All leads to growth, but only the latter would lead us to dismantle the discomfort. Fear leads our growth in directions unfavorable. We would either twist and contort ourselves around the discomfort, never acknowledging its presence, but holding it closer and closer as we struggle to find a path around it. Or we simply wither in the face of it. Not wishing to see a path forward. How we choose to adapt to fear determines how we should adapt to our challenges. Fear can be our radar. It can show us where we must focus to find the path of positive growth. Gradually looking into the fear softens our resistance to it and allows us to find the source. Is our fear justified and we are actually, presently in danger; or is it a product of imaginary circumstances? Remember to be grounded in your present moment to understand any situation, as fear possesses the quality of making illusion seem like reality.
2. Progress Recognized: Rejoice for progress is palpable. You have learned much on your journey of solitude. The healing that has come through your hard work is felt by others. And you too shall feel the healing that has come through those around you. It is ok to celebrate. Rejoice in unity for unity has become one step closer. Express your gratitude for the road that is behind you and the light that is ahead. But do not lose focus in merriment. There is still work to be done. Balance your time of outward jubilation with continued inward practice. Lest you find yourself dreaming again the nightmares of old. This is a time of validation. For all of your hard work is worth it. The struggle. The sacrifice. The despair. Your work to transmute the frequencies of fear is seen and appreciated by the entire Universe. And we are all grateful.
3. Creating Through Synchronicity: Be open and vigilant. For the signs that move you forward toward what you desire are ever-present. Creating a map of opportunity to lead you into the life of your dreams. One of freedom, love, excitement, and joy. Now is the time to act on those dreams you wish to see for yourself. No matter how big they may seem. Luck is on your side and the Universe has shifted to make all accessible. Hold your intention strong and be vigilant for the synchronistic experiences that are meant to guide you. Trust only the joy that possibility would bring and follow it as far as you can. Creating more joyful experiences along the way. Let the mind rest in this endeavor. There is no need to analyze the specifics of "how" and "what if". We say again, let the joy of possibility guide you and follow it as far as you can.
4. Expanding Love on the Path of Surrender: For those of you who may find yourself struggling, there is only one way out of the mire of despair. And that is love. But this is not a love you are accustomed to. For it is one of radical acceptance. It is a love so accepting that it would take what is and accept it all into the fires of its passion. To warm it...to light it...to transform it. Surrender to the path of acceptance. Find the love within the unlovable and escape from the heaviness that keeps you trapped in feelings of darkness separated from the light of your essence. And do not allow others to influence what may be worthy of accepting. Do not let them tell you what needs to be changed. The alchemical cauldron of transformation rests within you and it is your responsibility to tend the fire. Allowing outside influence would only choke the flame within you. Whether it may be a relationship, a job, or a situation, challenge yourself to love it in a way that feels most comfortable. Surrender to it in a way that is most comfortable. And watch how that love grows.
Strategies for Navigating August 2024:
1. Seize the day! There is no better time than right now to make all of your dreams a reality. Open you heart and your mind to what is possible and choose the reality that you desire. Our energy is always shifting into different realities whether we are aware of it or not. A quantum existence where everything is possible all at once. What we experience is the reality that we are actively vibrating in harmony with in every present moment. But we can actively choose our reality. By making the joyful choice, the loving choice, the wondrous choice. And following it as far as we can to create a life full of joy, love, and wonder.
2. Be aware of collective influence. The presence of this influence resides just below the surface of our conscious awareness. It is an energy that assists with our manifestation of the reality that Earth and humanity exists in now, but one that we are meant to transmute. Notice where this collective energy may steer your emotions away from joy, and challenge its presence with love. Honor it by saying, “No, thank you, but I think I will choose a more joyful perspective.”
3. We’re all in this together. Give grace to those around you and be open to lending a helping hand. We are all trying on different realities…trying on different perspectives. And by offering a gesture of love, we can show each other that a joyful and loving reality does exist. And it starts with the choices we make right now. Extending grace to others also includes allowing them to choose the less joyful path sometimes. To step aside and allow someone else to choose anger or despair. Letting them know that they are free to experience that reality, but that you would not have any part in it by stepping away and giving grace through space. There are ways of navigating this dynamic that do not leave others feeling abandoned. Employ them and witness the transmuting power of your grace when the time comes that they return to your guidance for choosing a more loving perspective.
4. Celebrate your accomplishments. They are stepping stones to a better you. Each one a journey in itself. There are no small accomplishments either. All are worthy of humble pride. Let yourself know that you are rooting for yourself by celebrating your own personal victories.
