Hello and welcome.
Welcome to Everything is Energy.
Welcome to the start of February 2021.
We have some powerful,
Intense,
Accelerating energies in the heavens right now.
Gosh,
We just had intense energies with the T-square in the last broadcast,
But right now we have something called a stellium.
A stellium is when three or four or more planets arrive in the same sign and conjoin each other.
We have more than three.
We have Mercury,
Venus,
Jupiter,
Saturn,
The Sun and the Moon in the sign of Aquarius.
This is such powerful energy to have not three but six planets and also this energy is going to last for four weeks.
So it's not just a one-day event.
It's actually affecting our lives from February 1st,
Peaking on the 11th with the new moon through February 18th.
And not only do we have the six planets,
We also have the asteroids Chariklo and Pallas Athena in Aquarius as well.
So what this means,
This is a really strong concentration of energy in the sign of Aquarius.
It's concentrated in one area of the sky.
It's concentrated in a particular area of our lives.
And I've spoken in the past about Aquarius being a planet of high technology.
Aquarius is a fixed sign,
It's an air sign.
Air is mental,
Fixed is unmovable,
It's a masculine sign.
Masculine is outgoing.
So this is where we get the radical thinking,
The out of the box,
A little bit strange to some people,
Forward evolutionary thinking about our future.
And about creating and co-creating our world.
So we likely feel very ready for this expansion.
So deep part of us knows we're bound to change,
We need to change.
And yet we also,
Well,
We also have all of these planets in Aquarius squaring.
I mentioned previously squaring is a 90 degree angle,
It's a challenging energy.
It can feel a little bit tense.
Squaring Uranus in Taurus.
So Taurus is the sign of the bull,
Taurus likes earthly pleasures.
Uranus is kind of saying not so fast with your high evolution Aquarius.
But Uranus is in Taurus and Uranus is Aquarius' ruling planet.
So we have this feeling of tension and really a lot of what it is is that we don't need to throw everything out,
We're just upgrading.
You know Taurus is giving us this,
Taurus doesn't like change in general or any new ideas.
Taurus likes good times and pleasure.
Taurus is a very steadfast sign.
It means well and it's kind of reining in this expansive energy of Aquarius.
And we get to trust that this is for good reason.
That we get to be a little bit tempered here by the physical world as we head into higher dimensions as we seed the future that we will bring about in the 3D.
Just a little bit of a challenge in our expansion.
Also Mars is going to be in Taurus through this entire period.
So Mars is a feisty active planet.
But Uranus is going to be tempering these two and also supporting the expansion of Aquarius.
Uranus is going to make things a little bit volatile.
This is fine with volatility.
And really this means Uranus is the planet of sudden change.
Uranus is also the planet of high technology.
So Aquarius and Uranus have very similar energies.
And we're just being invited by the sign of Taurus to be patient and be willing to ground it down,
To be willing to move through the challenges so as to clear and cleanse.
And this stellium energy is so powerful it often feels like a wave that washes over us.
And much like if you've ever gone surfing or been in the ocean,
When there's a wave from the ocean washing over you,
You can't fight your way to the top.
The only thing to do is to release and to trust that you will float up and that you will come up for air.
So we have this wave of intense Aquarian energy.
And likely it feels very necessary,
Very right.
Instead of being able to take off and ride that wave,
The wave is washing over us as if Taurus is kind of just holding us back just a little bit.
Why?
Because we get to learn to work with these energies.
And the metaphor here is complete when we realize that the working with the energies is surrender and trust.
It's not a skill set that is foreign to us.
There actually isn't anything new to learn.
It's to step in and be something we inherently want.
We want to feel comfortable,
Free from our fears so that we can surrender and we can trust.
So instead of feeling like we have to fight against the current or we have to fight our way to the top,
We can begin to work with the water energy with less effort.
Just as when you come to know that you can float the easiest when you completely surrender in water,
That is part of the message here.
Things are also accelerating energy I mentioned.
Being invited to consider which areas of our lives,
Which areas of our world we would like to accelerate,
We would like to make extensive progress.
We can sort of hone,
Focus this Aquarian energy towards those causes,
Towards those goals.
And all of this is just the curtains coming up and preparing us to integrate and enter more fully into the age of Aquarius.
So consider for a moment what's right for you.
What's something you want to bring high technology and innovation.
The technology as I mentioned is that we are everything we need and the innovation is to remember to surrender and trust.
What areas are coming up for you?
And now there's someone present during this time.
She understands intense energy,
The passion that's at the base of this deep desire for change.
She also understands compassion and seeking balance and seeking a just vibrant planet.
Her name is Hildegard.
Hildegard of Bingen was known as a 12th century mystic.
She grew up in a Celtic Benedictine monastery in Germany which is quite interesting.
She's also known for her green energies in a very Celtic way.
Hildegard understood the vast power of the natural world and the need for humanity to not be superior to it but to integrate itself with the natural world.
And while she was raised and came to be a Benedictine nun,
She was a very strong outspoken voice for all the injustices that she saw within the church.
She was sort of a Renaissance woman.
She was a writer,
A musical composer.
She actually produced the first operas with her nuns acting and singing.
Hers was the first opera of the West.
She wrote many books.
She was a philosopher,
A Christian mystic.
And she wrote letters.
Even though her opinions were sought by emperors and popes and archbishops,
She is on record for writing very clear words about the injustices that she saw and she wanted the people in power to make things right.
And I'm going to get to why this is so perfect with this Aquarian stellium but I want to share a story with you which kind of shows the power that's present in each of us right now and the power that's coming online with the Age of Aquarius.
So the story goes,
This monastery where she grew up housed both men and women.
They lived separately but they worked together.
And at some point she wrote her first book and she became so popular that women,
So many women came to work with her and learn from her in this monastery that they grew out of their women's quarters and the men didn't want to move over.
They had room they didn't want to move over.
So Hildegard took her nuns and went and made her own monastery.
And what she really felt she needed to do was to get the job done to work with these women that wanted to heal the planet,
That wanted to call God Mother.
And when she left the monastery eventually realized their mistake and the men wrote her a letter inviting her to bring all of her women nuns back with her,
To bring them back and their dowries.
They essentially wanted the money from the women.
And she wrote a letter back about justice,
About doing the right thing and just peacefully said no thank you.
It's interesting to note she was also a healer.
She wrote a cookbook of remedies,
Herbal remedies.
There's actually also a Swiss clinic run by doctors based on her writings of herbalism and healing.
So she's this multi-faceted,
Multi-dimensional person and she's perfect for right now because she's so forward thinking yet she's housed within the Catholic Church.
And that's kind of this Aquarian,
Super fast,
High technology,
Evolution,
Let's go and yet she's in the 3D structure that is very controversial.
And we can learn from her right now.
We can learn from her strength,
From her willingness to be in the world but not of it,
To use it to use her own sense,
Her own wisdom of justice,
Of what's good and right.
As well as her being fully committed to humanity's connection with the natural world.
As I mentioned,
It was a non-narcissistic way that she saw the world.
It wasn't that I think,
Therefore I am.
She says I am because nature exists.
And she also,
As I mentioned,
Said the earth is mother,
She must not be destroyed.
She also coined the term,
At least she's the first written record of using the term web of creation.
All of this is potent medicine right now.
All of this is just what we need.
And yet she was so forward thinking,
She did not agree with everything that was going on but she kept going.
She kept seeding light.
And that is exactly what we are being invited to do with this Aquarian stellium.
And the intention that I would like to offer,
As I mentioned,
Notice what's present for you that you want to harness this intense energy for change.
I want to offer this idea that Hildegard and Bingen embodied,
That we are intrinsically connected with the natural world.
We exist because nature exists.
And we are invited in 2021 to be the defenders,
The lovers of Mother Earth.
And to be the best version of this that we can be.
So let's get to practice.
Go ahead and close your eyes.
Sit or lie comfortably with a straight spine.
Close your eyes and first bring your awareness to your physical body.
Just notice if there's any tension.
See if you can relax your muscles.
Let your jaw relax,
Let your forehead relax,
Let your shoulders and your low back and your buttocks relax.
And imagine yourself floating in water,
Whatever temperature is comfortable for you.
And see if you can notice as you are able to relax your physical body,
To surrender,
To relax the muscles,
You float.
Become even more buoyant,
Float even more easily.
And then bring your awareness to your breath and imagine as you breathe in,
You become a little bit more buoyant because of the air in your lungs.
Feel yourself rise up just slightly in the water and as you breathe out,
Just by a quarter of an inch,
You sink.
Let your palms face the sky,
Let your eyes stay closed and just feel the support of this water.
Staying with the breath,
Breathing in,
Feel yourself float up a little bit more and as you exhale,
Feel yourself just sink down a little bit.
Very gentle.
And notice how this practice of surrender feels to you today.
Depending on the events of our lives,
We might feel a little bit more resistance to surrender,
We might be ready to just release.
Just meet yourself wherever you're at and see if you can surrender a little bit more to being held by this water.
Nothing to do but breathe.
Breathe and be held.
And notice how the longer you stay just simply breathing,
The easier it becomes.
This idea that we have to fight towards something is a little bit more dramatic than just being just simply surrendering and trusting that we are already held.
That the path has already been determined that we are going to be able to surrender and float with the current toward transformation into the Age of Aquarius.
So that as we go through these changes,
They can be radical changes but we do not have to do the things that we've been shown which is fight a radical fight.
We get to surrender,
Breathe and feel supported.
Feel the support of this water.
See if you can release a little bit more.
See if you can surrender a little bit more.
And see if as you are floating in this water you can feel yourself not only held by the water but held by the natural world.
Gracefully supported by Mother Earth,
Connected to the web of creation.
You are known,
You are needed,
You are loved,
You are love.
And it's as if the natural world is also wanting us to step into a simpler mind.
The simple concept of connection to creation,
Of accepting that connection.
In accepting that connection to creation comes a vast responsibility to be the best lover and defender of the natural world and Mother Earth that we can be.
Nothing to do,
Just simply breathing.
And accepting our connection to everything.
I want to read to you a poem written by Hildegard of Bingen.
I am the one whose praise echoes on high.
I adorn all of the earth.
I am the breeze that nurtures all things green.
I encourage blossoms to flourish with ripening fruits.
I am led by the spirit to feed the pure streams.
I am the rain coming from the dew that causes the grasses to laugh with the joy of life.
I call forth tears,
The aroma of holy work.
I am the yearning for good.
This written by a 12th century woman who called God Mother.
And see what stirs for you as you consider your connection to the natural world.
As you consider the very powerful and necessary work that's not work,
Just being that you are being called and invited to step into.
And feel both the expansiveness and also just kind of being pulled back a little bit.
So that we get to integrate this with the world that we live in today.
And now as you're held,
Supported by this water,
Notice if there's anything else that came up for you that you want to hone and harness and focus the aquarium energies to manifest,
To accelerate.
Spend a little bit of time now in that vibration,
Seeding that reality with your vibrations.
Let it feel it and let it envelop you.
Let it be in this water that supports you.
Just breathe and be with that vision,
That desire,
That heart's calling that is potentially very quintessentially uniquely yours.
Let it be in this water that supports you.
Wonderful.
And so it is.
See if you can know in your heart that by your intention and vibration and practice,
Spending time in these energies,
You are creating a bright future.
This is the profound work of our time.
And interestingly,
Just like this visionary,
Mystical woman who was housed within a corrupt Catholic Church of the 12th century,
She was medicine then and she's medicine now.
And potentially she is able to speak to an even broader population because of her position.
So some of the structures that are in our world today that so clearly need upgrading.
Hildegard of Bingen is reminding us that there are many paths to healing,
There are many paths to ascension and evolution and it does not need or is not required that we have the vision ourselves,
That we get to be in a state of trust and surrender and connection in our co-creation.
All right,
As usual I will include a blog link in the notes for this broadcast where you can find more information about Hildegard.
You can also,
If you haven't yet had the chance to,
Check out the Lunar Herbal Alchemy Guild.
I'll put a link to that monthly subscription and gathering and I am also starting once again a Goddess Consciousness course.
So I'll put both those links for you to check out.
They're lifting off in the next few weeks,
They'll be available for the next month.
Cheers to a bright future,
Cheers to being transformed,
Cheers to accelerating times.
I'm so grateful for you,
Thank you for contributing your energy.
Together we are seeding a bright future.
Much love.
