To the Woman

Who is Slowly Fading Away

by Donna Ashworth,

from To the Women

To the woman who has lost her spark.

To the woman whose get up and go, has well and truly gone.

This is for you.

This is to remind you, that you don’t have to be everything to everyone, every day.

You didn’t sign up for that.

Remember when you used to laugh? Sing?

Throw caution to the wind?

Remember when you used to forgive yourself more quickly for not always being perfect.

You can get that back again.

You really can.

And that doesn’t have to mean letting people down or walking away.

It just means being kinder to you, feeling brave enough to say no sometimes.

Being brave enough to stop sometimes.

And rest.

It starts the moment you realise that you’re not quite who you used to be.

Some of that is good, some of that is not.

There are parts of you that need to be brought back.

And if anyone in your life is not okay with that… they are not your people. Your people will be glad to see that spark starting to light up again.

So, if you have been slowly fading away my friend, this is the time to start saying yes to things that bring you joy and no to things that don’t.

It’s really pretty simple.

Broken Men

The truth is. He is a broken man. And honestly, you’re not meant to fix him. You’re not meant to save him. Change him or even force him to get his shit together. No. If he doesn’t want those things for himself to begin with, then why should you exhaust yourself trying to help him. You can’t make someone care. You’re not his mother. And your love is not meant to be drained by redirecting careless grown men towards their glory. You’re better than that. You have your own problems to deal with. And honestly, you have better shit to do.

-R. M. DRAKE

Current Energies

Notice as we shift from a physical to deep energetic awareness, the nature of our existence is changing dramatically. Increasing stress, energy or incompatible life situations reflect we are adjusting to a higher vibration. Old patterns, behaviors and beliefs are surfacing for release. Feeling disoriented, “out of place” in the familiar, the acceptable is suddenly unacceptable and beckons action. This tells us we are no longer focused only in 3-D, we are shifting into higher realms, or conscious of and integrating multiple realms already.

Unusual aches and pains through the body are purifying and releasing blocked energy vibrating at 3D, while we are vibrating in a higher dimension simultaneously. Recalibration is underway.

Rest assured, it’s common to awaken during the night between 1 and 4 a.m. or even multiple times. The dream state is not what we are taught. We can’t all yet handle intensifying energy for long periods, must break it up. ‘Cleansing and releasing’ is going on, allowing insights into the interdimensional nature of night dreams. Short-term memory loss, sporadic recall of the past are common. We are growing aware of existing in more than one dimension at once, and flip-flopping back and forth as part of the transition like changing stations on a cosmic radio dial. Hence, symptoms of ‘disconnect’ with different people and situations. Also, our past is linked to the Old world, and the Old is gone. Being in the Now is the way of the New World.

Know ‘seeing’ and ‘hearing’ things is a symptom of experiencing different dimensions as we transition fully. Our range of sensory perception, what we register with familiar and subtler senses, is based on our sensitivity, how we are wired and which dormant systems are coming on line or already activated.

Life may feel topsy-turvy. We are forgetting what we no longer require. Loss of identity means the “Old you” grows quietly inaccessible, like it no longer exists. Clearing old patterns allows us to embody far more light. Rest assured, all is in order.

Another thing: ‘out of body’ (OBE) experiences are increasing. We may feel as though someone is talking, but it is not us. This is our natural defense mechanism of survival when we are under acute stress, trauma or out of control. Easing the transition process, may include tuning out or dissociating from the body. This only short term. It passes. Deep sleep is par for the course. You are resting from all the acclimating and are integrating, as well as building up for the next phase.

As energies shift within, we grow more sensitive to surroundings. Crowds, noise, foods, tech, other human voices and various other stimulations are barely tolerable. Overwhelm happens very easily with overstimulation. We are tuning up. Know this too will pass.

Come what may, rest periods and ‘rebooting’ are required. Each body knows what it needs. Awakening more fully is realizing that as our vibes heighten, reaching the higher realms, ‘doing’ and ‘making things happen’ is obsolete. New energies support the feminine of receiving, creating, self-care and nurturing. Ask the Universe to ‘bring’ it on while savoring life. Alignment happens in heartfelt energies.

Certain intolerances also present for lower vibrational things, reflected in conversation topics, attitudes, societal structures, healing modalities, etc. We may feel ‘sick’ inside, feel alienated. When our vibration is no longer in alignment, we are literally ‘pushed’, to move in new directions, to ‘be’ and create the New. All-the while, our appetite for food and other old consumption diminishes. The body is lightening and changing biochemically.

Suddenly, friends, activities, habits, jobs, life situations fall away. We are evolving beyond the former version of us, and what disappears no longer matches our vibration. The New arrives in parallel with our changing vibes.

Curiously, we absolutely cannot do certain things anymore. Some activities evoke dizziness, queasiness and worse. Fatigue hits. Our body is losing density, going through intense restructuring that physical senses cannot begin to register or understand. The periodic blurring or pixelating of vision is part of this process. Some frequencies leave from scope of consciousness. The range of sound-light received, decoded and transmitted is shifting.

Some people feel urges to eat often along with what feels like attacks of low blood sugar or know weight gain, especially in the abdominal area. Cravings for protein happen. Weight gain with an inability to lose it no matter what you do is one of the most typical experiences. Trust that your body knows what it is doing. It’s another exercise of accepting oneself fully without judgement. This comes with emotional ups and downs, unexpected tears. Our emotions are our outlet for release, and this happens a lot.

That nagging desire to go “Home,” as if everything is over and we don’t belong here anymore is part of the process of returning to Source. Everything is over, the process is done, but many of us are staying to experience and create the New World. Also, our old plans for coming have been completed.

Your ego is losing much of itself and is afraid. Your system is also on overload. Things are happening to you that you may not understand. You are also losing behavior patterns of a lower vibration that you developed for survival in 3D. This may make you feel vulnerable and powerless. The patterns and behaviors we are losing are not needed in the higher realms. This passes into a sense of love, safety and unity.

It may surprise some, but vivid, wild and even violent dreams may stand out. We are releasing many lifetimes of lower vibrational energy. Many are now reporting beautiful blissful dreams too. Our dream state will eventually improve and dreams will be consciously used for new kinds of conscious creation such as interdimensional travel and interactions if this is not a facet of reality already. Some experience deep releasing and travel while awake.

Do not be surprised as plans suddenly change in mid-stream and go in a totally new direction. Soul is balancing out our energy. It usually feels great in this new direction, as our soul knows more than we do.

Some of us feel we created very difficult situations, with many ‘worst nightmare’ aspects to it. Soul is guiding us to ‘stretch’ into aspects of self where we were imbalanced, or into ‘toning down’ aspects where we were a bit over-the-top. Our energy is re-balancing itself. Finding our way to peace through this situation is the test we have set up for ourselves.

Come what may, each of us has created our unique journey, and our soul would not have set it up if we could not handle it. We are the one who finds our way out and so it is already done. Looking back, we are grateful and appreciate every twist and turn, emerging as the best version of ourselves, a very different being.

Soul retrieval

You have traveled too fast over false ground;

Now your soul has come to take you back.

Take refuge in your senses, open up

To all the small miracles you rushed through.

Become inclined to watch the way of rain

When it falls slow and free.

Imitate the habit of twilight,

Taking time to open the well of color

That fostered the brightness of day.

Draw alongside the silence of stone

Until its calmness can claim you.

Be excessively gentle with yourself.

– John O’Donohue

Love & Unity are on their way 🎊❤️

As a collective, we have been preparing for this time we are in for many lives. We have chosen to be born at this time.

It is not the darkness that should scare us, but our incapacity to navigate our relating with our light, morals, and humanity intact and our capacity to keep our compass on the shining star of Love.

Seeds grow in darkness and still find their way to the light.

Challenging times call for revolutionary work, my teacher told me. Prophecies of rebirth, eagle & condor, rainbow warriors, are unfolding over hundreds if not thousands of years. Many parts of those prophecies warn us of a very dark time before the light will shine again.

Societal collapse, also known as civilizational collapse, is a complex phenomenon characterized by eight parameters that all large and powerful civilizations faced before collapsing. And we have eight of them right now. It is not something to be afraid of but to be deeply conscious of as we walk our path.

Indeed, there is also the grief of the losses. Losses of friends who have forsaken their humanity for an illusion of freedom. Grief to witness that it is ok for too many to pretend that mocking disabled people is ok, to call immigrants vermin ok, to threaten anyone who disagrees with oppression and dismissive labels, to say that “we are ok” when what it means is “I am safe with my privileges, skin color, and sexual orientation.”

There is grief for the voiceless, the lands, animals, trees, and Earth beings that are less of a priority compared to capitalism, greed, power, ego, the circus of politics, and old men throwing tantrums like a five-year-old.

We have been preparing for this time we are in for many lives:

How to return to our prayer.

How to navigate the darkness.

How to stay connected to the land.

How to weave beauty and music in the wounds.

How to build open, inclusive, and loving communities.

How to witness mental & emotional purge with compassion.

How to stay connected to wise elders, teachers and traditions who carry those ancient prayers of unity and compassion.

We have the tools. We have the songs. We have the prophecies. We have the anchors. We have the roots.

And we have the web of relations that whispers more than ever that there is another way that does not praise the stock market, the billionaires, or the cultish followings as a benchmark of our success.

More than ever, we need each other to heal what hate and fear have separated. The false beliefs and stories of this dying colonial world that give justification for abomination, land grabs, and demonization of the ‘others.’ It’s our unity and compassion that will bridge these divides and bring us closer together.

Even if our dream is tender today, our dream is more alive than ever. More necessary. More present in all of our decisions and actions.

The darkness that births the seeds is birthing a powerful force of determination and commitment to another possible world. And even if we are tired or anxious, our eyes have a calm, warming light that keeps showing us the way into a new world.

That world, a world of Love and unity, is on its way.

Be patient. Keep it in your prayers. Shower it with your Love.

Ever lasting love ❤️

Love never truly fades. Even when someone is no longer part of your life, the love you felt for them remains within you. It transforms and becomes a part of your emotional landscape, but it doesn’t disappear. Learning to live without someone you once loved deeply is one of the hardest lessons, but over time, you find a way to carry on, holding that love in a different, quieter place within your heart.

Advice: It’s okay to still feel love for someone, even after they’re gone. Healing is about learning to live with that love, not erasing it.

I am here

There is a kind of secret strength.

It lives in you and no one, not even you, knows it’s there.

It lives inside you, waiting for the day it’s needed, waiting for the darkest hour of the darkest night.

And then, when you are defeated, when your heart is so broken you don’t know if it can ever be put back together again, it whispers,

“Hello. You don’t know me. But I am here.”
