Being held /hugged

~The Importance of Being Held.

The average length of a hug between two people is 3 seconds. But the researchers have discovered something fantastic. When a hug lasts 20 seconds, there is a therapeutic effect on the body and mind. The reason is that a sincere embrace produces a hormone called “oxytocin”, also known as the love hormone. This substance has many benefits in our physical and mental health, helps us, among other things, to relax, to feel safe and calm our fears and anxiety. This wonderful tranquilizer is offered free of charge every time we have a person in our arms, who cradled a child, who cherish a dog or a cat, that we are dancing with our partner, the closer we get to someone or simply hold the Shoulders of a friend.

A famous quote by psychotherapist Virginia Satir goes, “We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth.” Whether those exact numbers have been scientifically proven remains to be seen, but there is a great deal of scientific evidence related to the importance of hugs and physical contact. Here are some reasons why we should hug:

1. STIMULATES OXYTOCIN

Oxytocin is a neurotransmitter that acts on the limbic system, the brain’s emotional centre, promoting feelings of contentment, reducing anxiety and stress, and even making mammals monogamous. It is the hormone responsible for us all being here today. You see this little gem is released during childbirth, making our mothers forget about all of the excruciating pain they endured expelling us from their bodies and making them want to still love and spend time with us. New research from the University of California suggests that it has a similarly civilising effect on human males, making them more affectionate and better at forming relationships and social bonding. And it dramatically increased the libido and sexual performance of test subjects. When we hug someone, oxytocin is released into our bodies by our pituitary gland, lowering both our heart rates and our cortisol levels. Cortisol is the hormone responsible for stress, high blood pressure, and heart disease.

2. CULTIVATES PATIENCE

Connections are fostered when people take the time to appreciate and acknowledge one another. A hug is one of the easiest ways to show appreciation and acknowledgement of another person. The world is a busy, hustle-bustle place and we’re constantly rushing to the next task. By slowing down and taking a moment to offer sincere hugs throughout the day, we’re benefiting ourselves, others, and cultivating better patience within ourselves.

3. PREVENTS DISEASE

Affection also has a direct response on the reduction of stress which prevents many diseases. The Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine says it has carried out more than 100 studies into touch and found evidence of significant effects, including faster growth in premature babies, reduced pain, decreased autoimmune disease symptoms, lowered glucose levels in children with diabetes, and improved immune systems in people with cancer.

4. STIMULATES THYMUS GLAND

Hugs strengthen the immune system. The gentle pressure on the sternum and the emotional charge this creates activates the Solar Plexus Chakra. This stimulates the thymus gland, which regulates and balances the body’s production of white blood cells, which keep you healthy and disease free.

5. COMMUNICATION WITHOUT SAYING A WORD

Almost 70 percent of communication is nonverbal. The interpretation of body language can be based on a single gesture and hugging is an excellent method of expressing yourself nonverbally to another human being or animal. Not only can they feel the love and care in your embrace, but they can actually be receptive enough to pay it forward to others based on your initiative alone.

6. SELF-ESTEEM

Hugging boosts self-esteem, especially in children. The tactile sense is all-important in infants. A baby recognizes its parents initially by touch. From the time we’re born our family’s touch shows us that we’re loved and special. The associations of self-worth and tactile sensations from our early years are still imbedded in our nervous system as adults. The cuddles we received from our Mom and Dad while growing up remain imprinted at a cellular level, and hugs remind us at a somatic level of that. Hugs, therefore, connect us to our ability to self love.

7. STIMULATES DOPAMINE

Everything everyone does involves protecting and triggering dopamine flow. Low dopamine levels play a role in the neurodegenerative disease Parkinson’s as well as mood disorders such as depression. Dopamine is responsible for giving us that feel-good feeling, and it’s also responsible for motivation! Hugs stimulate brains to release dopamine, the pleasure hormone. Dopamine sensors are the areas that many stimulating drugs such as cocaine and methamphetamine target. The presence of a certain kinds of dopamine receptors are also associated with sensation-seeking.

8. STIMULATES SEROTONIN

Reaching out and hugging releases endorphins and serotonin into the blood vessels and the released endorphins and serotonin cause pleasure and negate pain and sadness and decrease the chances of getting heart problems, helps fight excess weight and prolongs life. Even the cuddling of pets has a soothing effect that reduces the stress levels. Hugging for an extended time lifts one’s serotonin levels, elevating mood and creating happiness.

9. PARASYMPATHETIC BALANCE

Hugs balance out the nervous system. The skin contains a network of tiny, egg-shaped pressure centres called Pacinian corpuscles that can sense touch and which are in contact with the brain through the vagus nerve. The galvanic skin response of someone receiving and giving a hug shows a change in skin conductance. The effect in moisture and electricity in the skin suggests a more balanced state in the nervous system – parasympathetic.

Embrace, embrace with your heart.~

Slowing Down

“How brave you are for slowing down. For not finishing that to-do list.

How courageous you are for not crossing that finish line, because your body said “enough.”

How fearless you are for choosing the quiet of your soul over those voices driving you always towards more.

How bold, how rebellious –

you, out there,

honoring your own natural rhythm,

going against the culture’s breakneck speed.

We tend to make heroes of those hungry with ambition, relentlessly doing, producing always more.

We applaud those who refuse to stop or rest. Who push themselves so hard in the name of achievement, that they sacrifice their body and soul and heart in the process. We celebrate those who are ill or aging but never show it, never slow down, never reveal a moment of vulnerability.

This drivenness can be heroic, at times. It can be necessary for our survival or the greater good.

But,

I want to make heroes of those who slow down.

I want to make heroes of those who listen to their bodies, who do not strive for more than what the soul truly needs.

I want to make heroes of those who do not force or push, but surrender to each moment as it opens.

I want to applaud those who may not be driven towards success as we know it, but instead are nurturing something deep and subtle and needed.

I want to celebrate those brave enough to cease all doing, even for a second, and sit with the ache in their hearts. A task many find harder than summiting the highest peak.

I want to make heroes of those who honor their limitations.

Who are unable to keep up with the busy-ness of our times, yet show up to each profound, necessary moment.

It is truly an act of courage and rebellion to do any such thing, in a world demanding you resist your own self, your own rhythm, your own soul.

And the paradox is, that often when we cease our incessant doing, even for a minute, and listen to that quiet voice within, we discover what it is we absolutely must do, and what instead can fall away.

We finally hear the call towards what serves our soul, and what then will serve the world. Nothing more, nothing less.

A hero is simply someone brave.

So come, be softly brave.

Be a new, quieter kind of hero.

Few may applaud, it’s true, but your soul certainly will.”

The awakening

“It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly.

Learn to do everything lightly.

Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.

I was so preposterously serious in those days…

Lightly, lightly – it’s the best advice ever given me…

So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair.

That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly my darling…”

( ✍️ Aldous Huxley )

March Energies

To The Ascension LightWorker Collective

The first part of March offers a reprieve from the intense energies of January and February.

Key events include the journey through the 3:3 Portal of Ascension , A total lunar eclipse on March 14 . The Sun transits into Pisces on March 14 , followed by Mercury going retrograde in Pisces on March 15. Mercury will then go direct again on March 23 , and Venus will rise in Pisces on the same day.

Your connection to Source is inherent .

it is about your ability to perceive and tune into this connection. The alignment with Source is constant with its energy always flowing through you.

The mind acts as a receiver, picking up thoughts and ideas from the environment based on the internal frequency.

By actively choosing thoughts self shape’s the desired and preferred reality rather than being influenced by external sources.

It’s now about intentionally choosing to align the mind daily to higher frequencies to become who you aspire to be in true self version as life unfolds within the mind space, Transformation begins with realisation of true power within to control thoughts and shape the desired reality this leads to profound changes in ascending life.

Reclaiming your energy is a current process to prepare for a new beginning on your path. By consciously retrieving this energy, you empower yourself to create a fresh start and experience emotional balance and stability.

Intense energy influxes are occurring, enhancing the intuition to receive significant messages shaping new earth reality. Becoming observant as individuals around you will reveal their true nature, masks are rapidly slipping, trusting these revelations as they come in .

Transitioning across dimensions even in wakefulness, the physical body undergoes healing and enhancements. Symptoms such as headaches, anxiety, fatigue, heart palpitations, system overwhelm , sinus pressure , hyper sensitivity, skin irritations allergies , muscle pain/ aches, brain fog, zoning in and out, ear ringing, feeling disconnected, and increased sensitivity can manifest during this intense planetary activation .

Embrace diversity in lifestyles and perspectives as it is celebrated in the Universe. Each Starseed individual has a unique signature mark , vibration to express authentically. Many in this world disconnect themselves by trying to conform to a false society diluting their true essence.

Ascending individuals Embody the Inner Courage to be unapologetically the True Self it will not only highly benefit you but also enrich the Universe with your unique contribution.

Continual repetitions and cycles may come to the surface , for conscious awareness into unresolved issues needing healing and resolution within. The higher-self always serves to propel conscious awakening. By addressing the core reasons behind repetitive cycles and lessons, self eliminates their influence on internal programmed patterns.

The higher self always has the full picture. Trust that if you are being rerouted at this time it is because it is leading to something much bigger and beyond what you imagine.

Releasing attachment is not about giving up, It’s about acknowledging that you can trust the universe to bring you what is right for you. Your Ascension team guides speak in the language of synchronicity. When something stands out, it is never random, it is an invitation to explore further.

Gratitude amplifies the experience of connection to all that is; reminding you that you are never alone. The universe supports you when you support yourself. Keep taking steps no matter how small or insignificant you may think they are. True alignment will always feel effortless when you are in this state, life flows and synchronicities abound.

Celebrate your willingness to act even on the days when it feels challenging, vibrational alignment will continuously strengthen. Clarity comes in not from thinking but from letting go of the need to understand everything all at once .

Miracles occur when we trust the flow of life and let go of perceived control. Miracles are not the exception, miracles are the natural divine order of things. Not experiencing them in the human form is the exception.

The higher self sees the bigger picture and guides the conscious self into ascension awareness, it does not serve the ego want state of being, this conditioned lack aspect in self was created by psychological manipulation methods throughout the evolution and alteration of the human mind .

Higher self merging means conscious self must adjust to a new way of being, ego self has lost its power, resisting the inevitable higher self take over. Higher self is not a part of the conditioned mind set this paradox of thinking and being is complex in its nature. Higher self is in oneness, this is its highest nature. This is a time of great change in the transforming self, allowing for the adjustments and modifications to take place. This process cannot be rushed as each level will require conscious awareness and attention .

Surrendering doesn’t mean giving up it means trusting that everything is unfolding in divine order and as it should be at all times . When you choose appreciation you connect with the frequency of abundance. The truth is you are already abundant. Abundance in it self, It’s now about aligning with that version of yourself.

As the Ascending evolve, individuals who do not resonate with their true purpose are gradually fading from life . Starseeds are now being magnetically guided toward those who align with the soul’s higher calling and purpose rather than attracting those who trigger past wounds / traumas. Their connections moving forward will be with those who are destined to be with them.

The Ascending have invested significant effort in their personal evolution because of this they have strengthened their discernment, no longer allowing anyone to diminish their personal positive energy. Focused on the alignment of the authentic self.

EVERYTHING IS BASED IN ENERGY. Focusing on matching the alignment frequency of the reality you choose, you can not help but receive the projected reality. It can be no other way. This is not Philosophy. This is found in Physics.

Starseeds, life is now on the brink of rapid progress in certain areas of life . Events that have seemed to be put on hold suddenly propel forward. Projects that were stagnant will gain fresh momentum.

Ascension planetary energies have greatly increased in synchronicity flow and encourages the Ascending in prioritising what requires self’s immediate focus. Self power is reinventing rebuilding, repairing and strengthening.

You asked for better this is why things are now clearing out. The stars are in perfect alignment. The universe is always conspiring in your favour, even in moments of self doubt, trust that everything is working out for your highest good.

Allow the past self version energy to clear out, welcoming in the vibrant new energy of 2025. Great things are on their way.

Everything is changing, trust and allow the universe to pick the precise timing and the way. Everything you desire is already on its way to you. Let it all go. Expect miracles and in the magic of new beginnings.

In loving and dedicated Ascension service

Natural Flow of life

To The Ascension LightWorker Collective

Strategically positioned across the globe, Starseeds serve as leyline and grid activists , transmitting original seeded frequencies to stabilise Earth and restore balance. Their purpose here is to anchor higher cosmic Light and guide humanity toward its highest timeline.

As Earth’s grids undergo reclamation , restoration , and reactivation , Starseeds instinctively gravitate towards one another , forming soul tribes and communities to embody 5D Soul Tribal Energy.

Through these connections , they develop self-sustainable , heart-centered environments based in Love and unity Consciousness , shaping the foundation for the New Aquarian Age Earth template.

Lightworkers are currently facing challenges as they transition from working in old Earth energy to adjusting to the new Earth energy. Working on internal self , shedding linear beliefs , and addressing conditioned thoughts are essential parts of this ascension process.

Simplifying through meditation , clearing internal clutter , Intentional creation, and prioritising self-love are keys to navigating this transformation. Activating dormant DNA strands is required for evolving into a new version of ascending self .

Remembering that feeling uncomfortable at various times is part of the ascension journey, and strengthening trust and faith in Self is most important. With focused efforts on self-love practices, energy reclamation, and reconnecting with nature and healing elements, Lightworkers will navigate this stage successfully and rediscover their inner light and power. Trust that this challenging phase will soon pass, and you will emerge feeling lighter, more accepting, and aligned with true self within the next coming weeks.

The influx of activations may challenge the body’s physical systems, manifesting as digestive disruptions, sleep disruptions , liver detoxification, muscle tension, brain fog, and various skin irritations as the body purges what no longer serves it.

Starseeds are reminded that they are not defined by the darkness they have faced but are beacons of light that persist against all odds, embodying the essence of a spiritual warrior. Accepting change without resistance is emphasised, as transformation paves the way for conscious evolution.

Trusting the natural flow of life is so important, with faith in the universe’s intelligence, guidance and purpose in every moment. Believing in self’s resilient nature and ability to overcome challenges is key, as each lesson learned propels individuals towards their destined path of growth and fulfillment.

Ascension is a profound and at times an arduous journey that challenges individuals beyond their expectations. The process of ascending on a planet based in duality is far from easy, especially for those with strong conditioned linear minds. Internal shadow work, including dissecting emotions, beliefs, fears, and self-perceived deficiencies, is extremely important and complex at the same time , involving multiple levels and layers of introspection.

This transformative journey can take a toll on the physical body and provoke threats to the ego, which resists change and perceives ascension as a major threat. The decluttering of the mind requires facing confusion, questioning, and doubts, all of which are integral to shedding the embedded false self in a world filled with illusions and dysfunction.

The truth is that only a minuscule fraction of the population—0.7% of 1%—is truly engaging in conscious shadow and ascension work, highlighting the challenging and selective nature of this path.

Experiencing solitude on this journey serves as a reminder of your uniqueness and reinforces the need for self-reflection , stabilising the system and for conscious evolution . As we collectively stand on the threshold of profound self-transformation, our collective efforts contributes to the Collective evolution of both ourselves and the ascending planet we inhabit.

Genuine ascension is niche due to its high demand for authenticity. Embodying truthfulness within the self leads to uncovering the internal shadow self, acting as a vital catalyst for profound self-exploration akin to a miner digging for gold beneath the surface.

Beneath the calcified layers of the false conditioned self resides the metaphysical and multi-dimensional aspects of the self. By delving deeper within, ascending self unveils a wealth of self-discovery and profound insights all waiting to be unearthed.

In loving and devoted Ascension service

Intensity

“They will call you “”crazy”” because you are, because you were born with the gift of seeing things differently and that scares them.”

They’re going to call you “intense” because you are, because you were born with the value well placed to allow yourself to feel it all fully and that intimidates them.

They’re going to call you “selfish” because that’s right, because you found out that you’re the most important thing in your life and that doesn’t suit them.

You’re going to be called in many ways, with many judgments, for a long time, but stay firm on yourself and what you want, and I promise you one day they’re going to call you to say, “thank you for existing.”

-Frida Kahlo

Grief

Grief has a way of isolating us. The sort of sadness that overwhelms us with a heavy, aching heart from morning til night-time is hard to move through, and we have to do it slowly, one day at a time.

As Khalil Gibran said in The Prophet: “Love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation” We feel detached from the rest of the world, contained in our body vessels and moving through the day as if we’re not really here at all. Who are we now? For alienated parents with their children gone from their lives, they hardly feel like a parent anymore, though they are still parents, most definitely, and always will be. The loss leaves a void. We don’t want to fill it because we want to feel the ‘missing’ and the sadness keeps them in mind. It’s scary to have to rethink who we are and repurpose our lives.

Will we ever feel happy again? Yes. But it doesn’t happen overnight. We find moments. We figure out how to live our lives without the one/s we love. We become unafraid again. We treat ourselves as someone we love. Each day, we take one step in front of the other, and we move forward doing the best we can. And when we need to rest, we rest. Along the way, we do find peace, love and happiness again.

If you are going through parental alienation, know you’re not alone. I’ve been through it myself. Personally and professionally, I have over 20 years of experience. I am reunited with my children and here to offer support with daily posts on social media and also with the coaching I offer. Feel free to reach out to me anytime.

New Moon Pisces – It has begun

Today is an extraordinary

convergence of cosmic forces!

Planetary Alignment:

The rare alignment of seven planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. As these planets align, their energies will harmonise or mirror where we are blocked or in misalignment, and this event will not be seen again until 2040, encouraging us to reflect on the interconnectedness of all things.

Energetic Shifts from the Sun & Schumann Resonance Anomalies:

The sun is sending powerful energetic waves toward Earth, stirring changes within our energy fields. These solar energies, combined with the increasing Schumann resonance anomalies (which measure Earth’s electromagnetic frequency), create a heightened state of awareness and awakening. You may feel more sensitive to energy shifts and emotional surges as the Earth herself is resonating with these cosmic influences. These energetic pulses are guiding us toward higher states of consciousness and alignment with the divine.

New Moon in Pisces:

The New Moon in Pisces amplifies these energies, offering introspection, emotional healing, and the setting of new intentions. Pisces, the sign of dreams and intuition, will invite you to dive deep within and connect with your inner wisdom. This is a time to release old emotional patterns, trust your instincts, and plant seeds for spiritual growth, creativity, and healing. The New Moon in Pisces calls for quiet reflection, creative exploration, and embracing the mystical aspects of life.

That’s a lot of energy to deal with in one day. This will carry forward into the weekend. I hope it is a smooth time for you all.

Much Love,

With the upcoming eclipse season ahead this new moon presents a powerful opportunity for manifestation making it a significant time to harness its energy for ascension acceleration , conscious growth and vibrational alignment.

High frequency plasma waves are being received through the crown opening activating the unification code across quantum fields. Neural pathways reconnect as the hemispheric bridge unifies, awakening our crystalline cells and dormant DNA strands within the cellular memory.

High frequency spirals of activation coding now moves through the energy body, rejuvenating cellular imprints as new templates support unification. Our Merkabas ( light bodies) undergo upgrades to match the accelerating planetary frequency, integrating new grid infrastructure for multi dimensional shifting.

Acceleration within the collective timeline is rapidly dissolving the old structures, closing out misaligned energy loops to converge future timelines. This forms a golden lattice connecting Gaia’s planetary chakra system, meridians, and chakras. Anchoring 12th-dimensional heart frequencies, a grid of crystalline codes emits high-frequency pulse waves for cellular memory upgrades. Planetary axis and pole shifts merge into a new holographic blueprint while exiting the old matrix.

Anchoring in the higher heart and Gaia’s heart chamber forms a grid of crystalline codes, aligning with new grid frequencies over the next 200-year cycle. Trust in the divine order as many activate higher heart fields and align with the new earths frequencies, shifting the collective vibration towards love and unity. Together, we co-create peace and unity, anchoring oneness consciousness through quantum layers of our multidimensional reality matrix.

For the ascending collective, the new moon in Pisces offers a heightened sense of empathy, compassion, and spiritual growth. It provides an opportunity to dive deeper into the subconscious mind , this astrological activity taking place is powerful for healing emotional wounds, and setting intentions based in intuitive self, co-creation and manifestation. The ascending are expanding in the energy of the Pisces new moon, tapping into the collective consciousness, enhancing sensory and psychic abilities, aligning in higher purpose.

During this lunar phase, it is beneficial to engage in practices such as walking and soaking in nature’s healing energies, moon work, sun work, meditation, creative expression, and energy healing to deepen connection to spirit and the unseen realms. By surrendering to the flow of this Piscean Lunar energy we can navigate this new moon with grace, compassion, and a sense of oneness with the universe.

The Alignment of multiple planets in astrology is associated with collective awakening, amplifying intuition, deepening meditation experiences, and strengthening Self’s connection to divine energies and higher dimensions.

Planetary alignments are major catalysts for global change, activating shifts in society, technology, and consciousness. The planetary alignments taking place are initiating new eras and movements, impacting and influencing the collective evolution of humanity.

The pisces new moon coinciding with the 7 planetary alignment taking place is a moment in our planetary history of cosmic synergy, where the Earth and her people can tune into the rhythm of the cosmos and manifest intentions aligned in accordance to the universal flow.
