As this podcast airs, we find ourselves in the eclipse season, which brings a mix of highs and lows, unexpected events, or perhaps a sense of calm. That’s the intriguing nature of eclipses—planets are in motion, and the sun, moon, and earth are aligning. The stars are shining bright, and the days are becoming longer. There’s a lot of cosmic energy at play.

We are also experiencing a shift in consciousness as we transition through different ages, known as Yugas. What does this mean for you? How can you become more aware and willing to expand your consciousness? It’s important to step out of your comfort zone and let go of the things that keep you stagnant.

I understand how tempting it is to cling to what feels familiar. It’s easy to think that if we just hold on tight, everything will be okay. This is similar to the Four of Pentacles in the Tarot, where we believe that holding onto everything ensures stability. However, life doesn’t work that way. There’s so much more on the horizon that we may not see, but we can feel it, trust it, and know it’s there.

Over the weekend, I drove eight hours to Florida to spend time with my family, spanning several generations—actually, I think we had four generations there! It was a wonderful experience filled with laughter and connection, as we all come from different backgrounds.

Being with family is comforting and loving, and it felt great to share my experiences and incorporate the lessons from our family history into my personal growth. However, what I really want to highlight is that during my drive, I had the chance to listen to numerous episodes of the Telepathy Tapes.

I also enjoyed listening to Brooke Shields, who was fantastic, and I highly recommend her book. The Telepathy Tapes are fascinating. The research discussed in them isn’t new; it’s been ongoing, but much has been revealed that goes beyond conventional limits. This reminds me of Dr. Brian Weiss and his groundbreaking work with hypnosis and past-life regression, which he initially kept quiet. Similarly, there are children with extraordinary gifts that show we can expand our consciousness, even as societal pressures try to limit us.

I have been teaching this work for a long time, and I feel a strong inner knowing that this is important for all of us. If you’ve felt a desire to learn more about your intuition or understand empathic energy, I offer classes and mentoring to help you develop these skills. It starts with you saying, “Yes, I want to learn.” 

Perhaps you have a child who struggles to communicate but shows signs of creativity, sensitivity, or special talents. Now is the time to explore and train these skills to enhance communication, love, and empowerment for everyone.

We just experienced a full moon lunar eclipse. As many of you know, full moons signify the illumination of our feelings followed by a release. Lunar eclipses amplify this energy significantly. This month’s Virgo lunar eclipse highlights areas where we may be overly critical of ourselves and others, hindering our emotional growth. We need to recognize that perfection doesn’t exist. To evolve, we must let go of Virgo’s heavy traits and embrace its grounding qualities, like intelligence, strategy, and organization.

These astrological shifts can lead to psychological disruptions on an individual level, but they also impact world leaders and can trigger unexpected collective events. Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the Moon, symbolizing fated developments and deep introspection that can lead to healing.

Our shadow side requires attention, and we should make space for significant change and liberation instead of ignoring our instincts for sudden shifts. This highlights the importance of having a spiritual practice right now. A spiritual practice can help you release energy that doesn’t belong to you, center yourself, and ground your energy. There are many techniques you can incorporate into your daily life.

If you need help getting started, consider scheduling a Soul Session to explore what you might be holding onto that keeps you feeling stuck. If you’re unsure about what a Soul Session entails, you can also schedule a complimentary Spiritual Upgrade Breakthrough call with me, and we can discuss how to move forward. 

We’ve experienced the eclipses, we’re coming out of Mercury retrograde, and we’ve passed through the Equinox. Now, we have one more significant event: a solar eclipse and new moon in Aries. This is monumental—it’s a time of revolutionary energy and creation. 

We’re being asked to tap into that part of ourselves that yearns for change and growth. What inside you is evolving and shifting? Even if you don’t yet see the results, that’s okay. Embrace that feeling and raise your vibration for this new moon and solar eclipse. This is a crucial time for setting intentions.

This month has been busy, filled with many internal changes. As you create, remember that part of you is emerging, ready to make those shifts. We are holding space for this light. This month is packed with information, transformation, and evolution—it’s a time of breaking down old structures and beginning to build anew.

There are significant shifts happening in the cosmos, the etheric realm, and the spiritual world that may not be covered in the news, but they are important. So, practice your spiritual skills and learn how to hold this light daily. When you feel discouraged—as we all do sometimes—just take a breath, acknowledge those feelings, and then return to your dreams and the miracles you wish to manifest. 

This is how we hold the light and shift consciousness. Let’s take a moment to process all of this and open ourselves up to a meditation. I’ll draw some cards to help guide you through this transition.

https://naturalforcesstudio.as.me/complimentary

I’m gonna start with four cards. The first will be our clarity card.

The others will help us define that energy. So the first card that comes in is the 

Eight of water.

The eight of Water is about our flow of emotions. It is about our infinite potential. This card allows us to remember that if we come into the spring with all that old energy, we’re not gonna be able to work at our highest level. It’s about letting it go. Stepping over. So releasing that emotional energy you’re carrying from the winter, perhaps it is a past love. Lots of times this card comes in, with the question of should I stay or should I go. This is about stepping forward. Let it go. All that heartache, all that emotional baggage, let it go for when you step over that line. See the book footprint. See that eight? That’s infinity. See the sun shining? It’s like radiate your life.Let it go. More will come. But if we hold on to too much old energy, we have no room to bring in that new fresh energy. That fresh light. You wanna plant new seeds, you wanna plant them with the lightness, the energy of freshness and newness, not the heaviness. So let go. Step over, let go. 

Now the ways in which we do it…

We have a couple of Water cards, which are people cards showing us the influence. We have the Father and we have the Son. The Father indicates a balanced, open-hearted energy. This is a lot of that King Arthur energy. Open your heart with compassion. It’s so easy to close down right now. It’s so easy to get into the bullying. It’s so easy to point a finger. Open your heart. Work from the heart, not the intellect. Feel that fairness coming in all around you as you open your heart with care and compassion. We talk about joy and how we find joy in life by being with others, serving, and helping others.  Open your heart so that you can plant these new seeds of intention. Love with light. The Son card, Son of Water. I also like to talk about sharing what we have and always making sure everyone has what they need.  We also want to be careful of our boundaries. This sometimes reminds me of people pleasing. We never can get too far ahead with people pleasing. Yes, we want to do good, we want to reach out, we want to be at our highest potential. But be careful. Underneath people pleasing, always showing up with everything for everybody is a little bit of insecurity within yourself. Let me just give, give, give, so they’ll like me, like me,  and then you feel hurt because you’re not getting in return.

So allow yourself to find those energy boundaries that can help you open up that compassion and love as you go to plant your seeds with love, with light. Again, I say that. 

The next card we have is the Six of Earth. So now we have a little grounding energy coming in, and this is about community. With sixes. We have the two threes. Three Energy is about collaboration.  We recognize that initial completion. Where are you sharing? Where are you opening up to? And six bring us harmony. As we share what we know and we open up, we feel the richness of life coming forward.

The next card that comes up is the Devil card. This card reminds us to get out of this self-sabotage, for when we bring too much of that old energy forward, We’re just gonna set ourselves up for failure. So, as we cut away the old energy, we can recognize we don’t have to go there. All those addictions and that’s what happens when we stay in our comfort zone.

When we stay in the comfort zones of our lives, we search out there. Whether it’s binging on Netflix, overeating, emotional eating (I know that one.), or over drinking, whether it’s over shopping, overspending, over sex, whatever it may be for you, it’s a distraction. And right now, we need to be more focused and less distracted because right now with all that stuff going on out there, coming up from, you know, the leaders and all that stuff in the world, there’s a lot of distraction.

Look over there. So you don’t see over here.  No. As spiritual people and as people with awareness, we want to be focused and know what’s going on, especially within ourselves. Then you can ask, is this true? Is this true for me? Are they just telling me this? So we want to let go of those old addictions and you can do it. Look how he has a little bitty feet that’s gonna tumble over, chains that bind, but he can get out of those chains and so can you. A spiritual practice can help you do that. It can replace those old habits with something even more empowering. So as we move through this season. 

We’re gonna start out by looking at the energy of what ties us up.

Eight of Air. So as we’re moving through the season, as we’re opening up to this new spring energy, we wanna recognize where we are tying ourselves up. That’s that addiction. That’s that self-sabotage. It’s all in the mind. What are you telling yourself? Look how little that blindfold is on her. We can let that go. We are the ones that keep ourselves trapped. Open up, free your mind. 

Eight of Fire

As we move through the middle part of the season, we’re gonna see some of this change. Sometimes change creates conflict. Look at all this up in the air. This is our passion, our desire, but this is growth.

So when we know thyself to be true, we can open up, expand that awareness even greater. To find more abundance and prosperities and more ability in bringing forward those intentions that you set. Five is it is growth, it’s change. Yes, there is conflict and you may have to stand in your truth, but when you know your truth. You don’t have to defend everything because you know who you are. So allow yourself that growth and that’ll be the middle part of the season. 

High Priestess

And as we come towards the end, all of this growth is going to come forward with a high priestess energy. Sit in your wisdom and look at what has grown especially the wisdom.  Lok at the  crown. That’s our own divinity we all carry. So it is going to take us moving through this eclipse season, moving through a lot of this change and shifting the wheel spinning to breakthrough, to sit in the wisdom, to bring in the teachings of the mystery schools. That is where we’re headed.

That is the shift and what we call the yugas. The Kali Yugas are coming to a closure. We’re gonna be opening up to brighter light, and better intentions, but we have to be part of that change. We have to learn to hold that light. I know there are days when you just wanna let it go. You wanna give up and you drop your energy, but come right back around the minute you notice it, come right back around. A little mantra I’ve been saying…

 100% I believe in miracles 100% of the time. 

Try it. It’s a higher vibration, and we need to practice holding that imprint and that vibration. So as we move through the season, step forward, leave the old energy behind. Know that there’s so much more abundance as you open up fresh, open up your heart, have that compassion.

Have some boundaries though you don’t always have to. People-pleasers have some boundaries. Open up your heart. Share your knowledge, share your worth, share your money. Be in that community. Pass that dollar around, over and over and over. Know who you’re trading with. Know the energy of who you can collaborate with and expand that light. Get out of the addictions. Don’t tie yourself up in your mind. What are you telling yourself? Who’s doing the talking  and who’s doing the listening? Michael Singer talks about that. Don’t listen to the mind. Drop into the heart. Listen to the power of your passions and your desires. Know that change and shift are coming.

That’s growth. We grow from the moment we’re born. So continue that growth and sit in your power. Bring in the teachings of the mystery school. Open up your own divinity. Learn to channel your light through your spiritual teachings. Learn an energy technique. Work with your own energy field. You could do it.

We all can learn to do this. This is what I teach and what I stand on in my own beliefs that I share with you. 

Take a nice deep inhale and exhale as we take a moment and just hold this, bring your intention forward for you. How do you wanna feel? Feel that vibration all around you. The joy, the light, the abundance of success, the peace, the calm, higher vibrations of light, sending that out, releasing anything less than light.

These are Reiki techniques. Sending it out all the way through the season. HZSSN all the way through this season. Feel that vibration for you.  Holding the heart open, holding these intentions to its highest potential.

Receive the messages. Let them come in notice. Notice your soul’s yearnings. Notice this evolution for you. Exhaling all the way down. Feeling yourself, connecting with Mother Earth. Feel the heart open. Feel the illumination of the third eye.

Bringing those two together, finding that coherence for your light, your path, your intentions for this new season, inhaling and exhaling, bringing that awareness all the way back down. Grounding. And as you’re ready, opening your eyes, coming back.

So now take in those messages, return to that vibrant, uplifting imprint of energy for you each and every day. Try not to go down that rabbit hole, but lift the light. 100% miracles 100% every day. Feel that vibration for you? What are those messages coming in each and every day? Come back in to your soul’s light.

Yes, you can make a difference. Don’t let anybody ever say you don’t make a difference right now. As you shine your light, you give permission to everyone else to shine around you, and you become part of the critical mass to raise a vibration all around us, so much ahead of us, so many shifts and changes.

Be grounded in your energy I offer again, reach out, schedule a Spiritual Upgrade Breakthrough call with me. Let’s talk about your path, your light, and what you can do to learn to hold this vibration. Open up your intuition. Guard your energy fields. Be a bright light.

Be sure to check out my website for all my updated events, so many coming up for this spring season. Be sure to share this with someone you might know that needs some inspiration. And if you know of any family or child that may be suffering through this autism, through this ability or inability to communicate as we know it, reach out. Send them my way. I so much want to help right now. 

Thank you so much for listening. Be sure to give me a review on Apple Tunes. It does help the podcast grow. 

To your spirit,

Terri
