At this time in the here and now, a new understanding, a knowing that we are not familiar with but somehow our soul knows, is present. This human experience in these cycle(s) perpetuates expansion that humans have not seen before, at least not astrologically, from what can be found or previously reviewed. We know that other experiences, not of this reality, have been dreamt and felt before. There is an instinct or feeling inside us all that knows this. Many are awakening and remembering. Many just feel an alignment, automatically knowing what is the right thing to do. The Soul feels at home, and more at ease now. New feelings of motivation, hope, and clarity will continue to appear. Of course, feelings of fear and holding back are still there, as this still may feel safer to some. If we are honest with ourselves, we will see that our fear is baseless. No one is really judging us now, except ourselves. Our own perspective is the only one that matters, as it’s the one that drives our reality. Check judgement at all levels, and leave it at the door. Learn to dismiss those programs. We will gain clarity and find that the motivation to move forward is not so elusive after all. This year is about taking back our power and holding ourselves true to our soul path. How do we show up authentically? As an elder, I am going to take ownership of this role and do my best to be authentic, alive, and courageous for me, my family, and my community. I will accomplish this by being grounded, walking in harmony with nature, the Earth and my ancestors. That is it. I let go of the programming of false truths, by embracing my inner knowing and being present in life in each second and moment. I will continue to practice being a good image maker and support others, to help them find their true, authentic self. What works for you? Do you have the courage to hear what your soul is saying, and trust what is the truth? It may require significant changes in your life, and potential new territories not yet travelled to or experienced. Are you willing to try them on and see where it takes you? I am. There is never a wrong way, only your own way. As a community, we will be allowing ourselves to connect with our inner knowing on a level that many dare not go. We will explore many new ways to create from the vast knowledge we already have access to. All we must do is trust, learn and take action. We will all be listening for the nuances to get there, and help be a reflection to each other. If we give ourselves some ease and grace, we will find the magic and beauty we’ve been hoping for, and like what we see, feel, and know.  Tips to begin: Invoke Reiki - turn on the intuitive switch that allows you to connect to a deep inner knowing . Reiki is one of our tools - use it! Morning ritual - create time and space to experience the energy of the day. Open-heart connection - touch the centre of your chest with your thumbs, keeping them in a prayer mudra. Ask the Buddhas of the Diamond and Womb world to be with you. Be with Nature - stay connected while walking, sitting or travelling . Meditate daily - wherever you are, as a beginner or seasoned practitioner. Hydrate well - water contains natural electrolytes, but to enhance its vibration and healing frequency, infuse your water with Reiki symbols and other prayers and intentions. Water has memory and can hold those frequencies. Muscle Test - should you ingest a food, drink, or substance? Listen to what your body is saying. Go low into your womb space (2nd Chakra), and connect to your 6th and 4th chakras. Hold the item in question close to your body, face the North and see whether you lean backwards, forward, or remain neutral. Moving forward is a yes, and backward is a no. Another option is to muscle test with your non-dominant arm (i.e., the left arm, if you are right-handed). Hold out your arm while holding the item in question, and see if it stays strong and straight or becomes weak and wants to move downward. If it moves downward, then it is not what your body needs today. Get together in community - participate with like-minded souls. Take a step - begin with yourself first. When stuck, find a mentor; remember they are there just to help you remember, and not to do it for you. Recap your year - take stock of the year you are in, and which chakra you are recycling through. This is a guide and a measure for you, so you can start helping yourself. Teachings and sessions are available if you wish to know more. Here is a link to the Ki Lifestyle page, which offers free information you can download. Click on the Chakra link to learn more about Chakra development and recycling. If you need help facilitating any steps or still feel stuck, reach out. A little guidance will take you far. Alternatively, try a Tarot/Oracle Reading from Ki Lifestyle and a Shamanic Akashic Record reading. Shamanic and Reiki sessions are also available for assemblage shifting or other issues. These tools may help to offer insight, identify what is keeping you stuck, and help create strategies to achieve your goals. ~ Namaste & Many Blessings!

Preparing to leap into the unknown is always a daunting task, but this December has many energies lending new insights, ideas, and creativity. The most important question here is, “Are we ready to leap?” When the urge to take decisive action is upon us, have we been listening to our higher knowing, self-guidance, and intuition? Or are we accessing the knowledge that is here for everyone to use? The right timing is present, revealing new opportunities now. We may be finding that what was being asked of us previously has changed; it had to, to prepare us for the next part of our journey. We are connected to everything, and everything is connected to us. This entanglement that is, and has always been there, somehow also has a divine order. I hear the call, I hear the whispers in the ethers. Like a cat readying itself to pounce and leap, with intention, skill, and precision, to hit the mark. If we have been listening and preparing for this next leg of the journey, then what has been so close to our hearts may now be turning into the transformation we have asked for. There will be no returning to the old/familiar. The call for each of us is for deep trust in ourselves, the Universe, God, Spirit and the Creator. When 2026 arrives, transformational portals will begin at zero once again. Those desires and changes that meant so much in previous years will no longer be there. Fortunately, we have tools, maps or blueprints to follow, especially when it comes to the shadows of our unfinished personal healing, or entanglements with others. Much of this turmoil has been working itself through. We are, however, still going to experience a massive destruction phase before the structural pieces are recreated and moved into the new. Many are not ready to leap and, sadly, have not prepared. We have all come here for different journeys and different experiences in this human form. Our perceptions of reality, and what that may look like, are also unique to each of us. The planets, stars and our environments are the energies that still guide, tutor, and support this life journey. I will be preparing and going deep into myself to access the new pieces that are mine to do this month, and for the first couple of months of 2026. Part of this journey will be to access the ancestral teachings from all my lifetimes of shining and beauty, and to utilize the tools and practices I have learned along the way, to gain deeper access than ever before. I will blend these learnings into community sharing and shine the light on a path that has long been forgotten. The Earth, the plants, and the animals will also be teaching and guiding, as they speak louder than ever before. Reiki is part of this journey for me, but, looking beyond the human ideas, rules, and laws we impose on ourselves and others, it is also being asked to transcend them. The ancient energy from the past has lain dormant long enough. It wishes to arise and be seen in a new way, with a new light.  There has been an awakening, and some enlightenment that I am still learning from. As I observe and take in this transformational energy, I see a whole new world beginning. I see opportunities to experience this time we have dreamt ourselves into, here and now, in a different way than most are accustomed to. I am grateful for the immense dreaming and dedication that so many souls are bringing forward to pioneer this new reality. It may not even be fully realized for another 100 years, but our soul knows. It is our true nature, and it is time to leap into the unknown and start again. Tips for Preparing to LEAP: Invoke Reiki - Turn on the intuitive switch that allows you to connect to a deep inner knowing . Morning ritual - Create time and space to experience the energy of the day. Open-heart connection: Touch the centre of your chest with your thumbs, keeping them in a prayer mudra . Ask the Buddhas of the Diamond and Womb world to be with you. Surrender - Open up to receive with no attachment (magic happens). Hand Mudra - Palms are open and face up to receive information and energy. Calm the mind - Listen to your breath or a continuous noise - no thought. Meditate - Reiki II and Master level do the Morning Star meditation. Go into a place of gratitude, acknowledge that you do the best you can with what you have, and where you are, and move into your day. This will keep you connected to your intentions, purpose and the golden light energy. Hydrate well - Water contains natural electrolytes, but to enhance its vibration and healing frequency, infuse your water with Reiki symbols and other prayers and intentions. Water has memory and can hold those frequencies. Muscle Test - Should you ingest a food, drink, or substance? Listen to what your body is saying.
