Grief
The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not ‘get over’ the loss of a loved one, you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again, but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to.

Current Ascension Symptoms Experienced by Evolving Individuals Worldwide:
These symptoms indicate a shift in energy levels and solar activity that indirectly affect human lives. They include:
Sugar rushes and chocolate cravings.
Unusual eating patterns favouring high vibrational foods. Pressure and pain in the solar plexus region .
Headaches and migraines. Disrupted sleep patterns and constant fatigue. Hearing otherworldly sounds or unusual noises. Heightened sensitivity, spiritual experiences, and a thinning of the veil.
Heightened senses, particularly smell and sight. Technology malfunctions and feeling electronic waves. Feeling out of focus and disconnected from reality. Loss of balance, restlessness, and conflicting emotions.ADD-like symptoms and difficulty focusing. Indecisiveness and interrupted energy flows.
Unusual bodily sensations and faster healing. Inexplicable chills and fluctuations in body temperature. Heightened synchronicities and signs from the universe. Manifesting abilities and awareness of your creative power. Intense visuals during meditation and connection with spiritual realms.
Loss of the sense of time and merging of past, present, and future. Awareness of shifting timelines and recognition of oneself as a soul. Re-evaluating personal truth and alignment with soul purpose. Recognising the divine in all forms of life and seeking peace in self with people and situations from the past
It’s important to acknowledge that different Ascending individuals are experiencing their own levels of ascension regarding metaphysical information . Writing for collective ascension can be challenging at times due to varying stages of collective evolution. Ascension prioritises resonance and encourages not trying to force things to fit that don’t vibrationally align.
There may be temporary weight gain due to the physical body’s need for more mass during the dismantling and recalibration of internal structures for higher consciousness. This process requires high internal energy and will cause deep fatigue for a time .
Balancing and acceptance takes time and conscious effort, leading to higher timelines. This lifetime involves internal purging, clearing, and cleansing. It’s helpful to be gentle with self as the challenging parts will eventually come to an end.
Listening to and honouring the body’s need for rest is wise as there is a lot of regulation and shifting occurring right now . Overall everything is on track . Your Ascension on this planet is so much more about observing than absorbing, this will eventually come into a natural balance .
Aloneness in the 4-5D Gap is a common Experience In Embracing Self-Discovery on the Ascension Journey: Ascending to 5D consciousness at times will Feel like a lonely process. Solitude however is absolutely necessary as this is a significant part of this awakening to true self on this journey.
You have chosen to awaken earlier than Most ever will . This will bring in feelings and A temporary sense of not belonging on this planet.
Misunderstandings with your family members , relationships, friends, workplaces, and the community at large who are still asleep is very common in this process . while finding understanding among spiritual communities is more likely.
Navigating between dimensions creates an inner push-pull feeling, with your physical body holding on and your higher self anchored to source, leading you through pre-agreed soul contract experiences.
The physical body also experiences energetic waves with varying intensities as it releases accumulated 3D density and integrates a new crystalline energy system. Like a computer hard drive restarting, your DNA structure continuously integrates upgrades and new templates.
Loneliness intensifies during energy shifts due to their impact on the body. empathise with each other, sharing wisdom and guidance where possible, yet the feeling of loneliness may still linger. Some days are manageable, while others will leave you yearning for relief and connection. The desire is to disperse this isolation, reconnect with higher self , others, and the collective.
Ascending souls are moving towards a mass awakening, this can make loneliness feel more fragile, wondering who else shares this awakening.
Living a multidimensional reality means duality exists socially and externally, while on a soul level, duality is more merged and cohesive, though it can still create distance.
The struggle with ascension loneliness lays in feeling part of something much bigger yet disconnected, as very few on earth understand the 5D vibration. Seeking help can be challenging, and ego may at times hinder reaching out, even though you are often the one others turn to for support.
Embracing and befriending loneliness is advocated as a way to connect with higher self the soul, and the collective consciousness. While this is not always easy, it’s important to be okay with the process. You are learning to be a multidimensional being on Earth, connected to something greater. There is no quick fix, so it’s vital to avoid being too hard on yourself.
Understanding your ascension into 5D involves moments when you may feel like giving up, wanting someone to walk with you up the steep hill, but realising that the universe is guiding you from within.
Ascension is an inside job only .
Loneliness serves as a master guide to deeper connections within self and with the world around you. It promotes exploration and the development of established skills and abilities to navigate and transcend loneliness when it arises.
Ultimately the temporary loneliness will lead you to further explore deeper meaning in your life, finding where it brings you and understanding how to become more connected to yourself and your soul family.
While it is common to feel unbalanced during stages of ascension evolution and personal growth development , it is also important to keep in mind that these stages are temporary and a natural part of the Ascension process. It is normal for things to feel exaggerated and out of balance for a time before coming into its natural balance and equilibrium.
It is a time to rebuild and restrengthen the Ascension Tool kit , equipped with all the necessary abilities and skills to navigate through the lonely moments as they arise.

I will not forget you
I will not forget you .
you are in my waking thoughts ,
my sweetest memories , my dearest dreams .
I will not forget you.
You have touched my soul , opened my eyes ,
changed my very experience of the universe .
I will not forget you .
I see you in the flowers , the sunset , the sweep
of the horizon and all things that stretch to infinity.
I will not forget you .
I have carved you on the palm of my hand .
I carry you with me forever …

Coming to terms with the pathology of CPA & PA – Charlie Mc Cready
Parents who become alienated (not estranged, alienation is rejection with no justification), from their previously loving children benefit from coming to terms with the pathology. This is to understand the root causes of the problem. We often find we cannot rely on the mental health and legal services offered. If they don’t have an understanding of ‘parental alienation’ it can be a waste of your time and and resources, and potentially exacerbate the situation. That is unfortunate and I hope things will change, but as I write, this is the situation we’re in. There are a number of reasons for this which I often address, but that’s not what this post is about.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is often recommended during adversarial court cases. It was originally designed for people with borderline personality disorder, and it focuses on teaching emotional management, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and developing mindfulness techniques. Incorporating acceptance and change strategies, DBT emphasises the balance between self-acceptance and personal growth, which is particularly helpful for people struggling with emotional regulation, self-destructive behaviours, and unstable relationships. Where there’s a dearth of empathy and potential for cruel behaviours (in the alienated parent or the children), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) could be integrated. They are often dealing with the drama, disruption and chaos created by a borderline/narcissistic/dark personality, alienating parent. CFT helps those who are trying to cope with shame, guilt, and self-loathing. It can rewire the shared delusional beliefs imposed on them through the alienating behaviours. It incorporates mindfulness too for stress reduction.
Navigating the complexities of parental alienation isn’t easy, but through the application of therapeutic approaches like DBT and CFT, there’s a path toward fostering healing and understanding. Also through my 9-step program or 1-2-1 private coaching, alienated parents can work toward restoring the bond with their children, building resilience, and a more positive future.

Grief
Grief can shake us to our core, unraveling the familiar into unfamiliar territory. Its acute pain can convince us joy has perished too, that happiness will never return. I woke up one morning to find I wasn’t fully living anymore, and that my body was locked into a permanent state of clenching, not unlike the way your body prepares for a shot, or a hard blow. I realized I wasn’t even close to any state of happiness, and that somehow I had come to believe that at any moment, it could all be taken away. Being afraid of opening again to life’s beauty, lest it be taken away again so cruelly. Poet Rumi captured this sentiment: “The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”
In my own seasons of grieving, I wanted to cling to sorrow, to honor all I had lost by resisting solace. Yet light slipped through anyway – hearing music that stirred my spirit, going back to writers and artists whose work gave me joy. Letting go and embracing laughter’s healing. A colleague advised, “Let your heart break open, not closed.” Heartbreak can reveal our wholeness, if we allow it.
Grief works on the soul over time, changing the shape of our capacity to hold joy again. One of my favorite quotes from Leonard Cohen nails this:
“Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.”
We need not rush the journey, simply breathe through the cracks making space for light. On the other side, we are larger, more compassionate, braver. “Akhilanda”, is the literal representation of this: a woman’s body is filled with cracks, incredible light spilling out. Her name means “Never not broken” – she embodies the truth that we are always changing, transforming, perfectly imperfect. And yes, there is joy again.
May we surrender to each wave of grief, trusting we will return again to happiness, cultivated from the fertile soil of loss. Poet Pablo Neruda said “You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.” Our spirits will bloom brightly once more. Have faith and courage.
The light finds a way.
“Akhilanda”

An alienated parent experiences profound emotional turmoil, feeling trapped between a rock and a hard place. They are often isolated from their child due to the alienating tactics of the other parent, which can lead to overwhelming loneliness and confusion. The deep sense of loss, akin to a ‘living bereavement’, encompasses not just the physical absence of their child but also the loss of the once-strong emotional bond. The alienated parent feels helpless, unable to protect their child from further harm, and may experience anguish and betrayal as their child parrots negative statements from the alienating parent.
To navigate this hugely difficult situation, alienated parents can seek support through counselling to express their emotions, develop coping strategies, and gain perspective. In the case of the coaching I do, we often work in small groups, which can be incredibly supportive and/or one-to-one work. Prioritising self-care, both physically and emotionally, is crucial. Learning about parental alienation, maintaining boundaries, and considering legal recourse when necessary can empower. Focusing on reconciliation rather than retaliation when interacting with alienated children is crucial. Recognising and addressing these complex emotions is the first step toward healing and potentially rebuilding the parent-child relationship.

Antidepressant Withdrawal: A Clinician’s Middle View – Mad In America
The resistance to my ending my association with antidepressants was strong , but I did so . It takes much longer than stated to taper off and feel better for much is is involved , behaviorally and there was for me the trauma, the varied losses of my humanity and rights . My character was assassinated by ex and friends and family who were busy living their lives and trying to escape responsibilities and any association with mental illness .
It was a huge awakening that was quite unpleasant at times, horrific and very scary on my own.
Antidepressants are handed out like Pez candies with little thought to the many adverse reactions physically and trying to regain, rediscover just who you are under all that mind altering , soul snatching chemical straight jacket .Imagine all that as you are confirmed as misdiagnosed and all these RX were toxic to your body .
I present a middle ground on antidepressant withdrawal, where both sides are understood to have origins in wanting to help people.
