Aloha, Family! Wow. We’re living in fast times, huh? It seems everyone can feel the accelerated energy on the planet right now. There are several factors playing out in our little journey of evolution and some guidance I want to offer for finding stability as we all raise our consciousness higher and higher until yes, world peace becomes a lived reality. Despite what it looks like right now, we’re headed there.
Before I dive into that juicy topic, a quick note about the video above. I wrote this piece as a way of expressing the profundity of my journey with ‘Ulu the last three months. I mentioned ‘Ulu in my Intro to The Ophiuchus Chronicles, but for a quick recap it’s an ancient Mu/Hawaiian breath and movement technology that intentionally weaves together masculine and feminine energies within our body through the oscillation of the spine. In this practice, we focus on three energy centers - the Unihipili (feminine), the Uhane (masculine) and the Aumakua (androgynous.) The Aumakua is where the journey of establishing belonging, safety and a solid foundation in the Unihipili and merging that safety with the masculine drive to express in the world finally culminates in the marriage of the two into an exalted state of consciousness. In the ultimate expression, it’s transcendence. Which could be looked at as death, for sometimes that is how we move up the evolutionary ladder. It can also be looked at simply as raising the frequency of our lived reality every day. The Aumakua is called the sacred seven in the spinal cord and holds the codes of Ascension. Which is what I want to talk about today.
What does ascension look like? Is it Jesus rising up in the clouds to meet the Father? Or are the images like that contained in myths all around the world pointing us to something else? The ascension of our own frequency. For me, this is what it’s all about. If you step wayyyyyy back and look at our existence here as a beautiful experiment of consciousness, the One seeking to fully know and be fully known by Itself - the One we might call God - then you can see that everything held in the minutia of our lives exists to serve this purpose. Consciousness coming to a greater level of “Know Thyself” through the living of our experiences here on Earth. Granted, that’s a super detached perspective (which sidenote, is the ticket to living in this world without experiencing it as living torment) so let’s bring this big concept into our reality.
If you’ve been following the journey I laid out in my last two posts, perhaps you can feel the direction I’m headed. The last year of my life, actually the last ten years, can be summed up as a journey of ascension. This may be something I write about in more depth in the future, but you’ve gotten a taste of the trauma and abuse I came from, the healing I experienced through a renewed relationship with Mother Nature and then the death process I went through last fall and winter… which all brought me to this place I sit in now. I can honestly say I’ve landed after what felt like ten years of not knowing which way was up. The pieces of my foundation feel assembled in a way that support my dreams and desires, my determination and passion are BACK after a super long hiatus, and I feel stable. Maybe for the first time ever. It’s new, so I’m still checking in with myself every day in a little bit of a “hey, you still good?” kind of way. The beautiful thing is the answer so far has been a resounding yes. It should be said, this doesn’t mean I think I’ll never face challenges again. What it does mean is my identity has changed. Instead of seeing myself as a wounded bird defined by her trauma, I now see myself as the whole Immortal Creator I have always been – which I explored in the piece above. Even though I’m curiously launching into the experiment of what that looks like for me, something in my compositional make-up has changed. My frequency. I share this as a personal celebration and because it’s a real-life example of what I believe is possible for us as a species – individually and collectively. Let’s dive into that pool a bit, shall we? What does it mean to raise our frequency so we experience peace within and in the world?
First, let’s establish common language. What is frequency? David R. Hawkins was the first one to describe emotions in terms of frequency, with the lowest of the low being shame. Our emotions generate a frequency in our lived experience and everything we see is through the lens of that frequency. Also, all of existence is experienced through frequency. How? Matter is made of energy… in fact, everything in our known Universe is comprised of energy existing in frequency bands. So to raise the frequency of our consciousness (or awareness) means increasing the energy we have available for living life, loving others and creating our future. Now that we know frequency is essentially everything we experience, we can begin the conversation around how we amp it up and ascend.
I lived my first thirty-four years in the lowest of the low frequencies. Trauma and abuse are low vibe because it takes a radical experience of separation and loss of awareness to create the circumstances where it could even happen. I was cooked in that soup for many years and by the time I left, the low vibe emotions were densely stored in my body, mind and heart. The last ten years have been a journey of what some might call healing. I would call it purification. Alchemy. Taking the low frequencies (aka emotions) hardwired in my DNA, allowing them to surface, be witnessed and loved unconditionally, and transmuting them into the fuel and passion for my future. Pain to medicine. Grief to the Elixir of Life. It wasn’t an easy process, and when I entered this process of alchemy, I had no idea how long it would take. To be honest, when I left my mother’s home, I thought that would “fix” everything. But of course, as they say, “wherever you go, there you are.” I may write a whole post about the difference between healing and alchemy – in fact, if that interests you, let me know – because they are different frequencies. Again, with that word. Healing implies Life is broken. Alchemy refers to the fact that we came to Earth to descend into the density of this world and go through the process of waking up to remember the Creator I Am within. Whatever that means. Alchemy is the infusion of Divine consciousness into physical matter and to me, takes away the notion that something is wrong with the journey we’re experiencing. It was all supposed to be this way. Truly. I know I gave myself the challenges I’ve experienced in life so I could grow in strength and open my heart to Life itself in a wider, less judgmental way. But I digress… back to raising the frequency!
For me, it starts with the willingness to see and love all parts of yourself. I’ve viscerally experienced what happens when you allow the low vibe, low frequency parts you’ve been hiding to be seen and unconditionally loved. Self-love takes root. You begin to respect yourself in ways you never thought possible, and when you respect yourself, an inherent respect for others takes root. That’s when the ascended Self can emerge from the depths of your being. It isn’t a calling down from the Heavens of an infusion of Divine frequencies… it’s more an allowing of the truth of who you are to rise up from… well, the Feminine. This takes us back for a sec to the conversation of the feminine, masculine and androgynous. I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating… the feminine is the core of our being – the black hole portal we all stream through to come into this 3D world. And once we’re here, she’s the one who pulls in everything that wants to be birthed through us. See her as the Communication Portal through which your Higher Self lets you know what’s up. What has real meaning for you. Your values and the true nature of your being. The individual contribution you came to add to the One. In Hawaiian wisdom, she is the LEADER of the masculine. She supplies the dream, and he exists to liberate her dreams. To bring them into the form. Ideally, our internal masculine operates in response to her guidance. He’s wholly sovereign and chooses how he does it, but there is a deep recognition of her and humility in allowing himself to be led. Which, if you think about it, is totally antithetical to the way we perceive masculine energy. So often, they are portrayed as the leaders of our world while the feminine is meant to cower in a corner and hope some strapping young lad wants to marry her and keep her safe. Sound familiar? Like, every single fairy tale ever written. Don’t get me started. I mean, what if the REAL fairy tale is the truth that we are all meant to “save” ourselves simply by becoming the most authentic, self-realized, FREE version of ourselves… just a thought.
Back to ascension… It’s the blending and merging of these two energies that births the ascended, androgynous Self. Ohhhh… androgynous? What do I mean by that? Am I talking about some sort of gender identification? Nope. I’m talking about the Divine Union of our polar energies into one sacred spark of life. The realized Self. Just as in our outer world it takes masculine and feminine to birth a third entity we call a baby, it’s the same internally. This is the purpose of our masculine and feminine energy. Not so one can have dominion over the other, but so the perfected spark of Divinity can be reborn in this human flesh. (Sidenote: Ladies, let’s be clear… we’ve had our time of dominating the masculine. Yep. We did it way back when. It was just so long ago, and we’ve probably had a cataclysm or two since then, so we don’t remember. It’s important to recognize this so we don’t vilify the masculine energy which has been hijacked by Patriarchy and Capitalism.) It takes deeply respecting and honoring both the masculine and feminine inside to begin to feel anything close to WHOLE. Again, for me, that journey has really been solidified by ‘Ulu, but there are as many paths as there are people. The concept I’m hoping to share here is that Ascension isn’t something woo woo and out there. It isn’t something reserved for the Ascended Masters and the super-duper cool people. It’s for all of us. Not when we die, but here and now, and it’s a simple as allowing yourself to experience union within.
Real life ascension looks like working consciously with what Life brings you to bring it into a higher frequency state of being. No victims here. Loud and proud alchemists transmuting s**t into gold. How, you ask? Oftentimes, it involves deeply allowing ourselves the FEEL the pain, sadness, grief, shame or any other part of ourselves we’ve been running from without identifying with it. That’s the tricky part… so often we see something in ourselves and immediately slap a label on it. “Oh, I’m an angry person.” “I’m a failure.” And on and on. If we can feel and face these parts of us and instead of identifying with them, we can allow them back into the wholeness of our being and something truly mystical and magical happens. The experience passes and we move on with more wisdom and love. Life begins to take on a different lens. You begin to see everything around you from the vantage point of one who is no longer afraid of life because you see you are the Creator of Life. Think rose colored glasses. You are the master of your reality and recognize that everything around you reflects your internal reality. When you master yourself, you change the world. Which can be challenging to hear when we look at what’s happening in the world right now, so I want to reference that quickly before bringing this a close.
Is it true that we can affect the happenings of this chaotic world through our perception of reality? YES. It’s been years since I watched the news or engaged with social media much except to post my stuff and keep up with my friends, and there have been times I’ve felt guilty about that. As though I’m not a responsible world citizen. Recently, I heard one of my new favorite teachers, RJ Spina, say something that struck a chord, so I want to pass it on. “Where your attention goes, your energy flows.” We’ve heard this before, right? This time it was said in context of a conversation about how WE are creating the dystopian reality we see popping up around us. It’s a metaphysical way of looking at things, but for me it feels so much more real. Yes, there are what we can loosely label “bad” energies that want to keep us oppressed and enslaved and the way they do that isn’t necessarily by taking us prisoner in the literal sense. They do it by enslaving our energy. By seizing our attention. If we get sucked into looking at every doomsday headline and the latest expressions of low frequency behavior, our attention is captured and that means they have our energy too. Which leaves us nothing with which to create. I know this might be controversial to say, and there are many out there who feel like we need to be informed so we can prepare and maybe get ready to defend ourselves. I disagree. I believe the most responsible thing I can do is CREATE the world I desire to see by focusing my most valuable assets – attention and energy – on that which makes me feel lighter and freer. This is the true definition of self-mastery. The focused discipline of when and where you spend your energy. What you create and so on… a topic we’ll dive into more in future posts.
As a last thought, let me paint the picture of what this looks like on a global scale. Imagine a world full of beings who take radical responsibility for their emotions and have a heightened sense of compassion and unconditional love because they’ve cultivated that environment internally with themselves first. Imagine those beings meeting each other in relationships of all shapes and sizes and because of a deep respect of self, there is no temptation to dishonor the “other.” Mainly because they recognize there is no Other. That’s an illusion. Can you see those people and how they treat one another? Then picture all those wonderful, unconditionally loving beings going out and creating from that place. Endlessly devising ways to expand Love and all its expressions. Does it look a little bit like Utopia or world peace? This is where we’re headed no matter what it looks like today. The only reason it’s getting worse right now is to give us the pressure we need to go inside, find our Divinity and allow our frequency to rise. I admit, I’m still learning in these areas, so I’m taking you for the ride with me. Yet, even though my mind doesn’t know all the ins and outs, I know what I’ve tangibly experienced. The purity of Life, the grandness of the One we came from, the supreme Love that’s at the center of it ALL. Not just the pretty stuff, but even the things we would label as evil. Your human mind can’t grasp that but try to feel it with your Soul.
I’ll leave you, as always, with a couple questions to contemplate…
1. What are some of the lowest frequency experiences you’re having now or have had in your life before? Have you allowed yourself time and space to feel them without judgment? This means without judging the human part of you that had a reaction to them because truly judgement of the other is always judgement of ourselves. If you haven’t given yourself that time, put on some music that matches your mood and FEEL it.
2. What does raising your frequency mean to you? I’d love to hear your answer in the comments!
3. If you were going to create anything in your life (not fix!) what would it be and what’s one step you can take today in that direction?
I’ll leave you with that for now and as always… it’s from my heart to yours,
Kyra 🌺
Oh! Quick PS! I’m opening a new program to walk conscious creators through the exact experience I’ve had… going from confusion to clarity about your purpose, what you’re creating and actually taking steps to bring your dream into reality. It’s called Awaken Your Magic - a six session program designed to help you unite the feminine and masculine within and birth your own Creator. If you’re interested, feel free to message me or ask about it in the comments! More will be coming soon, but I wanted to at least mention it. 🩵
