All right, February of 2020 already feels like a burst of fresh energy. And as I was opening the Records, I had several images coming all at once.

The first one was somebody biting into like a really juicy and tangy orange. And it was really refreshing, like, on a hot day, or when you're really thirsty or something like that. And it just hits the spot.

And I also had a sense of like a clean breeze coming through, I had a lot of of energy, almost like a big shot of vitamin C or something like that, something that revitalizes somebody, and I had an image of sea salt, air and ocean waves.

And the focus of the imagery was really on the senses with a sense of inspiration and a sense of like an energy boost…

Out With the Old, In With the New: Journaling Prompts and Perspectives on Cyclical Living

We all know the old saying when one door closes, another one opens.

But the process of what happens between an ending and beginning might not always feel so simple.

While the title of this blog is meant as a playful nod to the freshness of the new year and the blank page feels of January, it’s not quite accurate when it comes to matters of personal growth.

“Transforming the Old, Creating the New, and Integrating All that Falls In Between,” would be a more apt, but rather wordy designation of this article.

That is what cyclical living is truly about: embracing the fact that we live in a world of constant change and dynamic movement where life is in a perpetual state of transformation and creation mixed with a lot of integration in between…

Self-Care During the Holiday Season (a gentle perspective shift)

If there’s something about this season that doesn’t work for you, then gently think about how you could create your own forms of magic, reverence, and meaning this December.

How can you be a good friend to yourself and witness your journey? How might you create your own ritual or tradition around whatever holds meaning for you? How might you set a monthly intention that resonates with the visions you hold in your heart?

Small moments of meaning create a bigger composition of living in a way that feels authentic, real, and true to ourselves, and that is always meaningful...”

December Akashic Magic: Celebrate and Be Upheld

December of 2023, the Records opened with so many different positive images that were coming through.

First, I saw someone laying in a hammock that was strong up between two palm trees, and it was just gently swaying in the breeze. And there was a sense of a lull in energy, a sense of being held, and a sense of being supported that came with that.

And I also had a sense of Safari vacation holiday with this energy of having an adventure. And I saw the words “write your own adventure, choose your own adventure, writing a new chapter” and an image of somebody with binoculars and a backpack on their back.

There was this really fun; a delightful sense of Safari-type energy and adventure, and it feels really positive...

Got Gratitude? (a few ideas for cultivating appreciation)

We often think of November as a month to focus on being grateful.

Many of us celebrate Thanksgiving/Friendsgiving and the beginning of the holiday season with the intention to gather together with gratitude in our hearts and appreciation for the abundance in our lives.

As we move into the holidays, we are presented with many opportunities to slow down, reflect, appreciate life’s gifts, and tap into the energy of gratitude in our lives.

It can be hard though—the gratitude thing. I often think that despite our best intentions, it’s easy to fall out of gratitude and into focusing on stress, all that feels wrong in the world, and whatever we feel is lacking in our lives…

September Akashic Magic: Grounded Actions, Strategic Steps

“All systems go” is what I'm hearing. And there is a sense that with that, there have been many shifts and changes for many of those listening to this throughout the year of 2023.

And I'm almost seeing these images of columns, like if it was a graphic in a video game, or something like that - it's like it’s coming through like Tetris, and you have been trying to stack blocks or do something in a way that adds up. And all of a sudden, all this space is cleared -

I'm feeling a sense of breakthrough coming through…

April Akashic Magic: New Horizon

As I was opening the Records for the month of April of 2023 - there were several different images coming through.

First, I saw a calm, clear and glassy sea. And there were birds that were flying over the air. And the sense of the scene was that a storm had recently cleared.

And so, there was this sense of clearing and clean air and freshness. And that idea that you get when something has been chaotic, or frantic, and stills, and you have a moment to pause and look around and kind of assess what happened. And where are we now…

Navigating Spiritual Awakenings

A spiritual awakening could also be called a disruption of consciousness, or an awakening of consciousness.

Imagine that you have a certain view in which you see the world, that has developed over time by what you’ve been taught, what you understand to be true, and what you have experienced for yourself.

In a sense, you might think of this as anchoring yourself to the things that feel true for you and certain. When we anchor to ourselves to things that feel certain for us - without even knowing that we're doing it - we have created a set point that helps center us.…

January Akashic Magic: Ready to Go

As I was opening the Records, I immediately saw an image of a burst of butterflies flying free in the air, like they had been released all at once.

And there was this sense of momentum - and a sense of the Records themselves - as if they couldn't wait to tell us what is in store for us for January of 2023 and the overall energy of the year of 2023.

And that felt like it echoes the energy of the month, because I saw the word's 'hit the ground running' come up. And I'm seeing right now 'ready to be released, ready to go'…

December Akashic Magic: On the Threshold

For December of 2022, The Records opened this month with quite a bit of imagery. The first image I saw was of a big winter storm blowing through.

Then I saw a scene where the storm had passed - the snowplows had come and the roads had been cleaned - now it's safe to come out of the shelters. I then saw kids sledding and everybody enjoying the sense of freshly fallen snow.

There was a sense that the emphasis of The Records was on that moment in between the winter storm where the snow has piled up and that anticipation of when you are about to switch and shift into that new scene and I saw the words 'new doorway' and 'on the threshold' come through for the month of December…

May Akashic Magic: Metamorphosis

As the Records were opening, the first thing I saw was a picture of a beautiful glittering diamond.

And I saw this process that a diamond goes through to form under tremendous amounts of pressure.

And there was very much the energy that that's a metaphor for the month of May: that diamonds are gems that are often formed under a sense of pressure, they’re formed sometimes in the darkness, they're formed under natural conditions that apply pressure, and invite us to transmutation. And on the heels of those images, I also saw a butterfly…

Finding Perspective in Challenge & Change

I once wrote the words March comes with a side dish of chaos. For whatever reason, I’ve found this to be true across the years.

Maybe it’s because March is named after the God of War, Mars, and Mars energy is typically fiery, willful, and can be conflict-oriented.

Maybe it’s because March hosts the vernal equinox and there’s a hectic rush of energy as the earth makes her final preparations to awaken and birth us into spring’s cycles…

October 2021 Akashic Magic: Come Together

The Records opened with several images happening all at once for October 2021.

The first thing I saw was a concerto being performed where there were multiple individuals on the strings and various different instruments - and they were all coming together to create this beautiful composition.

That was followed by the image of seeing cogs working together; all moving together in order to move the hands of the clock around. The last thing that came through as I was opening the Records were the words: ‘the body has many parts’…

Finding Home: journeying back to ourselves

There is something about this time of year that always tugs at my soul.

When I left Alaska back in 2016 I knew that mid-August into September would always make my heart ache for my first home.

There’s something that’s a mix of magic and poignancy about the way the tundra begins to turn cranberry and the leaves go from verdant green to an olive that foreshadows the yellow to gold to bronze soon to come…
