Do you feel it? Do you feel the bright spotlight shining down on the entire collective right now? This current energy is something that no one can run from.
With that being said, it's also nothing to be scared of, this is some of the most transformative and powerful energy the collective has ever had to tap into. However, anytime a spotlight is turned on, all the things that may have gone unnoticed (or we're intentionally being avoided) are brought center stage. Your shadow is here to meet you. It's here to make you uncomfortable, because its ready to lead you to your untapped and limitless potential.
So many get the Shadow aspect twisted, they think that it's all about wounds, trauma, fears, insecurities, etc...and although those are pieces and parts that is absolutely not all of it. Your shadow energy is your creative life force, it's your deepest desires, your potential, it's also tied directly to your gifts and abilities.
This energy is here to push people out of that "victim mentality", to bring awareness to the fact that YOU are the energy creating YOUR experience and that you are the ONLY one who can sabotage yourself and lower your vibration.
This energy is being a little less than gentle when it comes to taking ownership and responsibility in our lives. It's throwing everything, but the kitchen sink at people right now in an attempt to get us to let go once and for all and shift the focus to changing our vibration vs trying to change situations externally in our lives. It's heavy on showing you exactly where you are self-sabotaging in your life and present you with a different choice, once that will require you to relinquish control and have the "trust fall" of your life.
You cannot create what you desire from a space of lack, from an energy of desperation, competition, or the need for validation outside yourself. Anywhere in your life that you have been seeking outside yourself is being annoyingly brought back around and around right now until you are ready to accept the awareness that you are both the "problem" and the "solution".
While this energy maybe uncomfortable for some, it truly is trying to lead you to highest possible outcomes in your life.
A little weekend reflection:
*What have you been avoiding in your life? (Conversations, emotions/feelings, people, healing aspects, etc...)
*Where are you still judging yourself (and maybe even others)?
*Where are you operating from a space of lack? I want you to reflect deeply on this one...(i.e. relationships, money, material things, etc...)
*Do you need others to "see" you? (i.e. validate your feelings, acknowledge your efforts/actions in your life.
*Where have you been "pretending" to be ok with things in your life to avoid conflict or confrontation?
Now is such a powerful time to really sit with yourself and have honest, no bullshit conversations. What do you want? What are you tired of? Life's too short to pretend you're ok with things when you're not. You didn't come here to settle or live a life on the terms of others. Stop worrying about what makes sense to everyone else and start focusing on what makes sense for YOU. It's time to choose differently!!!
So, if you have been feeling like things got turned up a few notches, you are not alone.
