How free do you feel today?

Beloveds,

Happy (late) Independence Day to my fellow Americans and regular ol’ Sunday greetings to my peeps all over! Per usual, my Gemini mind has been in deep contemplation this week, musing on freedom, inner authority and the journey to self-reclamation.

In all honesty, though, my mind has really been all over the place. I’m really feeling the scattered, fritzy energy of Mars and Uranus kissing in the sky and the pressure cooker as the outer planet alignment comes closer to exactitude. It’s more like a feeling of an urgency to evolve. But without any clear steps forward.

And when there’s no clear step forward, the invitation is sit down, shut my pie hole, feel the feels and be with what is. (Not gonna lie, sometimes I dislike having to take my own medicine.)

Because some might say I think too deeply, today I’ve been wondering if any of us are truly free? We think the same thoughts day over day, we follow the same routines. (I often say I’m even more Pavlovian than the Tunes!)

Are our thoughts really free if we’ve been trained (by family, culture, religion, education) to think a certain way?

Are our actions free if we have traded sovereignty for convenience?

Is it possible that none of these questions really matter? That the “world out there” is only an out-picturing of our internal world and that the very good news is that we have dominion over our interior experience? (What’s your take on that? I’d love to know.)

Real freedom is taking responsibility for your experience.

No, you can’t change what happened before. No, you definitely don’t have to approve of what happened before.

But real freedom means meeting the NOW. Saying YES to inner exploration. Being willing to meet yourself, see yourself and your conditioned responses. Have compassion for your wounded parts who try to control every damn thing they can. Extending grace to yourself when your self-advocacy or boundaries slip a little.

Real freedom is no longer identifying with the small self. With the story that ends up diminishing your inner authority. To no longer BE the aspects of self that inflate your identification with the ego rather than expand your lived sense of the divine spark within you.

This is not about not feeling your feelings. It’s rather about feeling them without attaching to them. Feeling them without telling a story to perpetuate them. It’s about feeling them so they can impart their wisdom and you can move forward.

Because my one wish for you, dear heart, is true freedom.

In the video below, I go more deeply into the energy weather report for this time and how we can all get more free; one moment, one choice at a time. I’m also trying a new format: sitting outside and interacting with mama nature.

The Spirit notes in today’s episode:

• What REAL freedom is, and it’s not what we were sold

• Energy Weather Report - Mars kisses Uranus and the pressure cranks up

• Have we traded freedom for convenience?

• Why free thought, free speech and awakening are intrinsically connected and more important than ever

• What it takes to get truly free

• Loving reminder on your soul/sole purpose

If you’re on an inner journey of awakening and are seeking some support in remembering your divinity and standing in your sovereignty, let’s talk. My spiritual counsel has been described as the mirror that lets you see your inner divinity - even when you cannot see it for yourself. Which is exactly why we are not meant to do any of this alone.

Big Free Love!

P.S. remember your most free self: an exercise

Tunes LOVES a hike. She loves being off leash and roaming and doing whatever dogs do when you’re not looking. (Sometimes it’s kind of gross, actually, and results in unwanted baths afterwards.) It brings me incredible pleasure to see her fully expressed in her freedom.

Your invitation today is this: Remember your free place. Remember what it feels like to take the mask off, to let your proverbial hair down, to not perform, to just be yourself. Where are the places where you feel most free? Who are the people you can be your most free self around?

Can you give yourself over to a little more freedom today or this week? To a romp with your free inner being? A few moments of pure authenticity when no one is looking? If yes, what would that look like? (I’d love to know...)
