Transformation and Change

On masks and creating a new reality

Judith · September 11, 2020 ·

Have you given any thought to how you created this reality we are living now, where we all wear masks?

Because you did. I did. We did.

The joy of being intuitive and living a conscious, intentional life is that we realize we are the creators of our reality. Even when the reality we are experiencing isn’t something we like. 

And the power in this wisdom is that we can self-reflect and then find the hidden desire, so we can create more deliberately.

It has taken me a while to get to this point. I’ve been carried along with the stream of life; feeling alarmed, mystified, saddened, and in many ways a passive participant, if not a quiet victim to the life we are all living now – masks-required.

I’m tired of this. I’d prefer a different reality.

And when we want a new reality we have to get clear on what we want instead, and then start seeing it be birthed through the existing reality.

This is not an easy thing to do. Right? Manifesting through an unwanted or unpleasant experience is challenging. We all know it. And yet, we also know that when we hit it right, it works.

So let me tell you a new story. A story that helps me, and hopefully helps you, create a new reality.

We have a world of people wearing masks to protect themselves, and keep themselves safe. To keep others safe. We are concerned that even the breath we breathe is dangerous to our health and wellbeing.

That’s interesting, isn’t it, when I remember growing up being taught how I needed to remake myself to be accepted, to be successful, to get a good grade, to get a job.

I was taught not to be me. I was taught to behave a certain way, to say the right things, to dress a certain way. In essence, I was taught to put on a mask to survive and excel in the world. 

If not, I was told I’d be rejected, ostracized, homeless, jobless, friendless. I learned that I would not be well or do well by being myself, following my joy. 

This is the world I grew up in. Most of us have. 

We grew up learning to wear masks. Because who we were was not enough. Because the consequences of being ourselves emotionally, psychically and physically would result in horrible things. Truly our reptilian brain would equate those feelings with a danger equal to death.

Now we are living in a world where we physically wear masks. Because the consequences of simply being(breathing) could result in horrible things. 

In this way, I can see how I created this reality. 

I didn’t want to not be me, and I found every way I could to push against the collective expectation. Even so, I still put on a mask to be something more acceptable, even with my own ways of rebellion. Because being all of me was dangerous – to myself and others.

We are here not because of a virus. Saying so distances us from our power, and it makes us a victim.

We are powerful creators, with a limited time on this planet to express the full potential of our heart, joy and creativity.

Here’s the gift of manifesting this current “life-with-a-physical-mask” reality.

We are being forced to know who. we. really. are. 

To know our own truth, because the external world is not in agreement. 

To know how we want to live our life, because the way we used to live has spun into something we never envisioned possible.

To know what matters to us – a free life, a safe life, a connected life, a life of wellbeing. For people and the planet.

To know how to be ourselves, to know what matters and still honor our neighbor.

To know that our bodies are strong, that our immune system works as much as we support it, and to know we can create the means to help when it’s needed.

To know that we are creative beings, and we flourish in the ever-changing landscape of Earth.

We are slowly and deliberately, individually and collectively, figuring all of this out.

How we want schools to work. How we want our supporting institutions (governments) to serve us. How we want workplaces to respect us and consider the actual realities of working and raising a family.

We are realizing, individually and within institutions like governments and corporations, that what we once believed, in so many areas, was not true.

Each of us, as we are, are strong, resilient, creative beings seeking the freedom to be ourselves, and express ourselves into the world to make it a better place.

This moment in time is giving us, globally, the opportunity reclaim that knowing.

Take a look and you’ll see…

Strangers wearing a mask to make sure their neighbor is safe, just in case they have a compromised immune system.

Schools (educational institutions) creating options to respond to the wide variety of options requested by parents.

Businesses modifying their practices and policies to continue to provide services, and employ people.

Workplaces adjusting expectations to meet the needs of parents at home with kids.

It’s not perfect. No. 

But there is beauty blooming. There is creativity expressing. There is consideration being extended. There are more people well than are not. There is care of our neighbor because we are all in this together. 

Things that seemed impossible, both bad and good, are showing themselves as possible.

This is what I want more of. Expanded possibilities that support us in allowing everyone to BE the creative, loving, healthy, safe, joyous expression of who they are.

The physical masks will come off someday. Will yours?

Here’s why you’re really feeling confused and uncertain

Judith · June 18, 2020 ·

Whether you see this time as the post-pandemic-new-normal or the great awakening, the stage has been set. The next 6 months of 2020 marks the end of dress rehearsals for every single one of us who works with intuition, energy and Source toward individual and collective upliftment.

We have some amazing energy supporting us to take our work into the world to help others.

Even though you may already sense or know this, you may still feel confused, uncertain and blocked by fear, self-doubt or self-destructive impulses.

You know you have unique gifts to help, and sense this is your perfect time, and yet you feel it might pass you by because the inner work you normally turn to isn’t helping much at all.

Take a breath. It’s okay. You’re on the right track.

Here’s what’s going on:

First off, Earth herself has fully aligned into 5D energy.

What does that have to do with you? It’s a super high frequency that you do not have experience holding. You have years of experience holding 3D energy and will, by habit and conditioning, naturally try to live from that place.

But here’s the deal, 3D energy is all about duality, scarcity and separation and that reality has played out. Every time you revert to behaviors and thoughts that are founded on scarcity or duality, you’re going to feel confused, anxious, doubting, and like you’ve lost your sense of worth.

So realize, none of us knows how to fully stay in the 5D energy of compassion and love all the time. We are learning. Give yourself a break.

What you can do to help yourself is to get better at listening to your intuition and following it. Review what you do on a daily basis that pulls you out of connection to your inner wisdom, or where you revert to old thinking. Then re-arrange your life so that doesn’t happen. Just this one thing will help immensely.

Next, the pandemic was our gift. Here’s how:

It takes 21 days to create a new habit. Most of us have had over 2 months of broken habits due to the global response to the virus. Just about everything in our days was adjusted in some way by the self-isolation and wide-spread shutdown – from grocery shopping to travel to eating out.

As a result, every single person has fundamentally altered their core beliefs. 

Core beliefs are the beliefs you have constructed that directly relate to your perceived survival – and I mean survival at a physical, emotional, psychological or spiritual level.

And no one has been aware that they were re-wiring their core beliefs.

(If you want to understand core beliefs, I wrote about it here )

When core beliefs are altered you create transformational change. Period.

You have, while you were in lockdown, quite literally been re-writing your core beliefs and didn’t know it. Everything that you believed about survival has changed. And it’s changed globally, so the collective energy has changed too.

What you’re feeling right now is what it feels like to figure out who you are now. You mentally think you are the same person you were before March 15th, but at your very core you are not. It’s not possible, your subconscious has changed.

Give yourself some judgement-free time to figure out who you are now. 

The lunar eclipse at the beginning of the month was on the theme of endings. That energy is affecting all of us for the next 6 months.

So just imagine, here we are globally opening the doors for people to go out and get back to their life, and the energy is about endings. Can you sense how confusing that feels?

If you are doing your own inner work, and since you are reading this I know you are, then you have all the tools to work through the endings that are relevant for you.

My sense is that all of us who are feeling the pull to share our gifts to help others are actually working on endings related to old 3D beliefs. Things like ‘I have to work hard to be successful’ or ‘This is how it was in the past, so that’s what I’ll get in the future.’

Remember, thoughts and beliefs related to scarcity, separation and duality have served their purpose and are complete. Do your best to notice your thoughts and make sure they are supporting ease, positivity and expanded possibilities.

______

This is A LOT. A lot of energy, a lot of change and a lot of possibilities. 

And what’s so beautiful about it is that it is ALL supporting us to attain and accomplish what we want. 

It might feel murky, foggy and uncomfortable but now that you can see what’s playing out, you can use it to reach your clarity, move through your changes and create with greater ease than you have before.

What will you create with this boundless potential that is available for you now?

Do you feel like you are changing but it’s not fully clear yet?

Judith · May 15, 2020 ·

I was sharing with a friend yesterday that my work is changing somehow.

I can’t even really articulate how, I just sense or perceive it to be true.

It’s an awkward place – knowing and yet not being clear.

I really like clarity. It’s incisive. It’s sharp and its movement is clear and direct.

I also really like knowing. Knowing is enveloping. It permeates all. Knowing is certain and imbues depth.

Knowing is the essence of my claire-sense – it is very much a part of me. So it’s familiar and comfortable. It’s just ‘there.’

Which is why I know my work is changing. Has changed. But it’s not clear.

And I realize that this is a perfect mirror to the times we are in.

We are each of us changing and changed. Yet we are not altogether clear how or in what way.

We have the knowing – and can give it some words to express the feeling of it. But true clarity – the kind that moves with direction – is just a little beyond reach.

Over the last 2 months of stillness, we’ve stopped habits and broken patterns in so many ways. By doing so, we’ve opened up all this space within us and around us in our energy field to make way for the emergence of a truer, clearer version of ourselves. Only she’s not yet ready to move freely in the world.

Emergence is the process of coming into view or being exposed after being concealed. Since we are what is emerging, it’s going to take a little while for us to see ourselves.

Right now, it feels like that for me. Emergence.

Do you feel it too?

Spiritual teacher, guide, mentor, lightworker, way shower – do you know this?

Judith · February 13, 2020 ·

This week I’ve been exploring the idea of leadership. And what I’ve found stuns me. Not in a bad way. It’s more like seeing something I’d not seen this way.

The truth is that I see you as a leader.

You’ve chosen to follow the inner urgings of your heart and build a life and business in alignment with that.

Doing so isn’t easy. There’s no step-by-step. In the past, there have been precious few people to speak with about this so there was a lot of making our way through the shifting shadows. And now that there are more of us, it’s pretty clear that my path and your path are uniquely our own. There’s no copying, or emulating, or ‘following.’

Instead, day to day you chose yourself and your alignment – to Soul, to joy, to ease, to freedom.

In doing so, some days you dance and fly. Other days you gripe and wallow.

In business, you are inventing a way. Inventing and imagining a new ethic of business that is honoring, responsible and intentional. That cares for you and others. Without compromise.

And it’s not just what is now, but also what you’ve been doing and holding.

We would not be where we are now as a collective family, shining in this newly awakened 5D consciousness if you hadn’t been holding, sharing, honoring the light in you.

We would not be here now if you hadn’t been willing to carry the weight of ancestral and collective karma to be transmuted as we left 3D energies at the ‘end of time’ in 2012.

We would not be here now if you hadn’t been re-building and reworking your life in the aftermath over the last half decade. If you weren’t right now with every passing day and month learning  how to CREATE in this brand new world of wickedly fast energy that we are living in today.

It is sweet and wild, turbulent and exciting – and totally unknown – this time of higher consciousness energy. And still you hold out a hand and a heart to lift up and show the way forward.

To do all you have done, and do, is to lead.

And I am grateful and honored to stand beside you, dear Leader.

How to navigate the first-quarter 2020 energy for your business

Judith · January 16, 2020 ·

Has the entry to the 2020 year felt intense to you? It has for me.

This last weekend felt a bit like a dam broke and the current is flowing super strong, almost like there’s all this energy backed up that just needs to flood out. It can feel a bit overwhelming, like it’s hard to gain balance and control.

I was so happy to have a few days as the new year opened to feel into the energy of 2020 and I’m really liking it. (If you’d like to watch, here’s the video I made on this topic.)

Here’s what I’m feeling:

2020 is all about creating stability.
Think of the 4 legs on a chair. That kind of stability. Maybe it will look like foundations for you. Or maybe it will be about structure through rhythm or regularity.

The energy is really, really smooth.
And it has a constancy to it. Last year was a creative energy so the feeling was more about ups and downs and swirls. This year’s energy’s more like a steady stream that may have areas where it rushes hard but generally will flow steadily.

First-quarter 2020 feels like it’s game on for creating deliberately with 5D-higher consciousness energy.
If you aren’t familiar with 5D, just think of it as a time of creating with feelings as opposed to actions. Also, outcomes will happen faster – both desirable and undesirable. Of course we have to take action, but it’s going to be much more obvious to us this year the way our creations are a product of our feelings.

First-quarter 2020 is ‘waiting’ for you to set the stage before it reveals what’s in store for the rest of the year.
As I was putting plans in place for myself and my clients, I really wasn’t able to feel past April. The energy didn’t vanish so much as feel unavailable. To me, that means that setting our intent and backing it with even the smallest of actions is pivotal. Very literally, what you intend is forming the constellation of possibilities that will show up come April.

 

Even if you aren’t a gardener, think of your business as a garden. Consider its shape and what seeds you want to plant before the Spring Equinox. You have some time to reflect on what you want. You have some time to begin practicing actions that honor you and the wants you have.

Seeds in your business can be as simple as putting a date on the calendar for when you will offer a program and setting a tentative price. Or it can be sending an email to 10 past clients to invite them to some dream project you’ve been stalling on – even if you don’t have all of the details yet for the program. Or it can be committing to a schedule – like every new moon – you make a video or send a message to your list. Or it can be updating your backend systems.

The point is that what you do does not need tons of planning, or thought, or doing. It’s a simple thing that aligns with your desire and feels good.

Here’s a good question to ask yourself as you sort through which action to take: On March 19, when the equinox energies come in, what will I wish I had started on?

May you have a blessed 2020!
