My mentor, my dear friend, Writer Whisperer Harmony Sedona recently helped me access the most profound, shiver-worthy message that sent me back into the past so that I could re-experience it, see what I couldn’t see the first time - so that I could scoop the new energy, and recapitulate the timeline between then and now...
When, in 2017, I battled a whole array of conflicting emotions that I did not quite understand, a particular scene of Moana pierced my heart! It has accurately articulated what I had been experiencing; it solidified into a masterfully visual form the homesickness, the unresolved issues in my relationships, the feeling of having outgrown our space and the roles expected to play. It was the ancestral calling.
And, it was the grieving of my old self as the process of the emergence of the new-me was just about to begin.
When, in 2018, the girls and I embarked on our 4-month Slovenian adventure, the only awareness I had, was to slow down. To heal. To reconnect.
And when we returned, I experienced another dark night of the soul; I felt I no longer belonged to our home, into our union. I felt like a wild cheetah now caged and confined to a small patch of artificial grass - ready to break out.
By the time 2020 pressed pause on our lives and the world seemingly stopped spinning, and the collective was filled with anger and sadness and resentment and haterage... I saw a glimpse of hope. I felt at peace. And, I felt courage.
Courage to let the new me emerge: Catalyzed by awareness. Powerful in convictions. Rooted in deep knowing. In ownership of divine gifts. And ready to begin working on Legacy book.
As words kept pouring out and on the paper, as new memories kept emerging, and pages kept being written, time has come to change the narrative. To intentionally deepen it until it feels light again - until it feel true.
That's when Harmony channeled this message:
“It wasn't just that where you were didn't fit you anymore; it was that you were being pushed, asked, requested to start opening up to a new aspect of journey that involved your living in Slovenia… You needed to go back and gather you rosebuds, your wild horses, your heritage, your pieces that came not just from conversation, but from the energetic initiations, activations, and core teachings of your lineage of your people that you were talking to. And the land needed to talk to you. And your girls needed to be with you for many reasons. Look to your book, there is more to the patterns than just the breaking of them; there is an extraordinary acceptance of patterns that are so indelible that these are the patterns that are being asked to be repeated… In forms of gifts and knowing, and intuition. Inspiration. Spiritual. Land. And the lineage… connected to different lineages - the pagan, energetic, and the original ones that you have been asked to gather and integrate…which goes back to celebrating and giving you credibility for your mysticism.”
There is more to the story than what we had the capacity to notice and experience. There is more to the patterns than just the breaking of them; there is an extraordinary acceptance of patterns that are so indelible, and these are the patterns that are being asked to be repeated.
