Chaos. Darkness vs. Light. When you scroll through the news or social media, it’s easy to think darkness is unfolding at record speed.

So, what’s the deal? Is this an epic battle where we need to rally the troops? Nope. That’s old-school thinking. Let’s flip the script and dive into what’s really happening with the balance of light and dark—and why light is absolutely taking the lead.

This theme of light vs. darkness  is deeply embedded in religious, philosophical, and cultural traditions. It symbolizes the eternal struggle between good and evil, knowledge and ignorance, and spiritual enlightenment versus delusion.

Many believe that the light and dark must be equal, like the scales of justice—but what if that’s not the case? What if light is actually growing, outpacing the darkness, regardless of what you might be seeing in the world right now?

I’m going to explore why light is more powerful than dark. I’ll talk aout how the balance is spiritually. Most importantly—how can YOU strengthen and shine your own light in today’s world which needs it so much.

First, I’m going to address the misconceptions about balance. Imagine Lady Justice which is probably familiar—picture two scales balanced in perfect harmony on either side of a women dressed in the clothing of ancient Greece and blindfolded. Classic, right?

But did you know she originated in ancient Egypt? Yup – from the Egyptian Goddess Maat, who stood for truth, justice, and cosmic order. She would weigh a person’s heart against a feather to determine their fate in the afterlife.

The scales of justice carried forward into ancient Greek and Roman mythology. Yet, when you think about it, the scales are rarely depicted as perfectly balanced. More often they tilt—one side rising while the other falls.

This visual has reinforced a common misunderstanding: that darkness increases as light diminishes. That’s not how energy works!

Most people picture light vs. dark like some kind of cosmic seesaw. If one side goes up, the other must go down, right? Wrong. That’s a total misconception.

Think about it—darkness doesn’t actually exist on its own. It’s just the absence of light. The moment you introduce even the tiniest spark, darkness disappears. It doesn’t fight back or push against the light. It just doesn’t exist anymore.

We’re conditioned to believe in balance, like Lady Justice holding her scales. Believe it or not, that image scales was inspired by Maat, an Egyptian goddess who weighed a person’s heart against a feather. If your heart was heavy with lies and fear, you failed the test. If it was light with truth and wisdom, you moved forward.

See where I’m going? Light doesn’t just exist alongside darkness. It transforms it.

If it feels like things are more intense than ever, that’s because they are. But not for the reasons you may think.

Kryon, a channeled entity by Lee Carol said something fascinating about the light. He says today’s light is different. It doesn’t just illuminate more brightly—it multiplies. It creates more light and is self-sustaining. That changes everything.

For years, light workers had to work hard to maintain their glow. It felt like one step forward, one step back. But now? Light is spreading at a rate never seen before. It’s gaining momentum, expanding on its own, and—this is the best part, it’s irreversible.

You can’t un-know what you’ve awakened to. Once the light is on, darkness can’t reclaim that space.

If light is winning, why does darkness seem so… intense?

Because darkness is panicking and scrambling. Darkness struggles as it recognizes that it’s being outshined. Think of this like darkness throwing a massive tantrum on the way out. Or like a villain in the final act of a movie—right before they go down, they get desperate, dramatic, and destructive.

The systems that thrived on secrecy, fear, and division are starting to crumble. The institutions that relied on people staying small and uninformed are beginning to lose control. And they know it.

Here’s the kicker – darkness needs your fear to survive. It has no power of its own. Darkness can only grow if you feed it with worry, doubt, and division. But the moment you choose light, even for a second, you weaken its hold.

This is why people waking up in droves is so powerful. Every single person who chooses kindness over hate, courage over fear, and love over resentment chips away at the old energy and negativity. This is how we conquer in a world where it seems darkness vs. light is happening.

You don’t have to be perfect or a guru on a mountaintop. You just have to be yourself—as fully, authentically, and unapologetically as possible.

Here are eight ways to amplify your light:

It’s not about battling darkness—it’s about choosing to shine so brightly that darkness has nowhere to hide.

Think of yourself as a lighthouse. Does a lighthouse chase away the darkness? No. It simply stands tall and radiates light onto the coastline, helping boaters find their way.

What a relief! You don’t need to fight anything. You don’t need to struggle. Just be the light which inspires others to do the same. And collectively? We become an unstoppable force.

When it comes to darkness vs.light, the darkness is NOT winning. It’s just making a lot of noise on the way out. Light is rising, expanding, and taking the lead. And the best part? You’re part of that!

So, keep shining. The world is brighter because of you.

This episode is an updated, encore presentation of a well-listened to podcast I did years ago about the Luck of the Irish for St. Patrick’s Day. I talk about what luck is and where the phrase the “Luck of the Irish” originated.

Then I share a wonderful meditation (maybe 15 minutes) about connecting to your luck and being inspired by Irish luck. It’s fanciful, fun, uplifting, and REAL. Irish luck comes with a long history and ancient lore about faery folk, leprechauns, rainbows and pots of gold.

Immerse yourself in this concept and open to the luck flowing your way. The more luck you receive, the more you can share. Send it around to your friends and family. Luck is not meant to be savored alone but sprinkled around for all to enjoy and benefit from!

I am not Irish by birth, but my husband is, so I’m Irish by marriage! We visited Ireland years ago and had the most magical time there. Just loved it. The people were warm, helpful, and friendly. The food was great and so were the pubs. The places we visited were beautiful, and the land was absolutely brimming with magic.

I’ve also written a couple of articles about luck and how you can make your own or increase your good fortune. You can discover the eight magical items that create or attract good luck in this post.

And, if you still want more, you might want to read this fun and empowering post about how to create a lucky life!

Naturally, luck and magic are interchangeable ideas to me. It’s all about lightening up, finding joy, having fun, as well as feeling and sharing love. Magic strongly correlates to love and gratitude because both open your heart, allowing more magic to flow.

I am grateful for the luck and magic in my life and am so happy to share my joy about this with you. I know without question that you are lucky too!

In a world obsessed with self-improvement, it’s easy to get stuck in an endless cycle of healing. I recently sat down with Katie White to discuss how to break out of this never-ending loop and step into real transformation.

I kicked kicked off our conversation with a bold statement from Katie’s newsletter: “Healing is not a full-time job.” Wow, did that hit me.

How many of you have made healing your personal life project? Chasing the next breakthrough and dissecting every trigger. Your convinced that if you just fix one more thing, you’ll finally be whole and happy

But what happens when healing becomes another form of self-imposed struggle? When there’s no end in sight to your healing journey or the start of your happiness?

Katie explained how the human brain can get addicted to the problem-solving process. It’s easy to get so caught up in “fixing” that you actually forget to live. This is like reliving the movie Groundhog Day where the same scenes repeat over and over again.

There you are doing all the energy work, all the inner digging, striving to heal, but seeing little change in your external world. Sound familiar?

Here’s the key difference: Transformation isn’t about constantly processing or healing. Nope, it’s about approaching life differently.

Katie shared a powerful example of a client who had done the deep work, unpacked her trauma, but still hesitated to step into the world. The shift didn’t happen through more healing sessions.

Instead, her long awaited shift occurred when she started recognizing and embracing new facets of herself, looking and living beyond her wounds. That’s when real transformation kicked in.

What are the signs that you are evolving?

If that’s not happening, it might be time to ask yourself, “Am I actually healing, or just looping?” Looping is when you are going in circles, working to heal the same thing again and again.

One of the most eye-opening moments in the conversation was when Katie called out the biggest block to transformation. She called it “Identity Attachment”.

Many people seem to unconsciously cling to their pain because it’s familiar. It becomes a comfort zone of sorts because it’s a familiar situation or feeling. If you’ve spent years defining yourself by what you’ve been through, it can feel unsettling to ask, “Who am I without this story?”

Here’s the truth. Letting go of your trauma identity doesn’t mean you’re erasing your past. It means you’re making room for the expansive, multifaceted person you’re meant to be.

Ever struggle with the casual question friends or family often start a conversation with? “What’s new?” I cringe when I hear that question because I live a quiet life.

I feel this anxiety creep over me due to what I experience as social pressure. Am I supposed to have something profound to report? Like I should have a major life update to share when anyone poses that question.

While some people go on big trips, buy a new car, or luxury items, that’s not my life. There’s nothing wrong with that, it’s just not what happens with me.

So, when everyone starts talking about what’s new in their life, what do I say? “I channelled Poseiden and we talked about the state of the oceans.” There’d be sirens headed my way with a straight jacket. LOL

Here’s a new idea to consider—what if I’m over overcomplicating it? Katie reminded me that “newness” isn’t just about big, flashy changes. Something new can be in the small, subtle shifts or every day moments of my life.

For example, I might have a fresh perspective on a particular subject people are talking about or explored a new area of ancient history. Maybe I changed how I’m eating, started a new exercise regimine, or made a few new recipes.

This really is a case of reframing. For one thing, I am always learning, so I can talk about what I have discovered. Surprisingly, the little things count far more than the credit I give them! Hear more about the power of reframing.

Another hard truth about life and friendship is as you evolve, not everyone will come with you. Recently, I discovered that is actually NORMAL. Mel Robbins, in her podcast just had an episode about the three pillars of adult friendship. She says expect things to change. Thanks Mel!

Katie pointed out that friendships and social circles are meant to be fluid. People enter our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. If certain relationships start feeling misaligned, it’s not a failure—it’s a sign of growth.

Give yourself permission to seek connections that resonate with who you are today, not just who you used to be.

We wrapped up with the simplest, yet most profound realization: life isn’t just about the big triumphs. Joy is in the small moments that happen while you wait for the big moments, like graduation, getting married, the birth of a baby, etc.

Magic can often be found in the seemingly mundane. These are all perfect examples of where you can find joy and magic in any day:

These aren’t just filler moments. Often these are THE moments. When you string together all the little things, you see. They are all pieces of your happy life.

Katie left me with a powerful reminder: Stop waiting to “arrive.” The goal isn’t to heal forever—it’s to live fully. Shift from “I’ll be happy when…” to embracing the now, and watch your world transform.

Are you ready to get off the healing hamster wheel and step into a better life? The best strategy is to start small. Celebrate the tiny wins. Explore new sides of yourself.

Most importantly—live your life. Because transformation isn’t a destination. It’s happening right now, in every single choice you make.

Now go shine your light—the world is waiting!

Are your days filled with problems rather than positivity and sunshine? Discover the simple keys to happiness because life is too short to be grumpy!

On this week’s episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast, I had the pleasure of hosting Deborah Mallow, a.k.a. your personal ray of sunshine. Deborah spent years cracking the code on how to inspire positivity and end self-sabotage, which she details in her book, Six Steps to Fewer Days That Suck.

Trust me, this is not just fluffy, feel-good advice—her methods are practical, doable, and shockingly effective. Let’s dig into some of the wisdom she shared.

Get Deborah’s Free Gift – You can join her Positive Energy Club and download her Motivational Checklist, Happiness Worksheets, and Feel-Good Activities that will help you build a life that’s lighter, brighter, and way more fun!

Ever wonder why your brain clings to that one annoying comment someone made five years ago instead of the dozens of compliments you’ve received since? Blame it on your ancestors.

As Deborah explains, negativity bias is an ancient survival mechanism. Back when our biggest problem was not getting eaten by a saber-toothed tiger, focusing on danger kept us alive.

But in today’s world, there are no saber-toothed tigers lurking around the corner. Yet, our brains still act like every inconvenience is a life-threatening crisis.

The good news? You can rewire your brain to focus on the positive. With conscious effort, you can boost the feel-good neurotransmitters—dopamine and serotonin—while lowering stress-related hormones like cortisol.

And no, this doesn’t mean forcing yourself to be toxically positive. It’s about making small, conscious shifts that add up over time to help you feel more optimistic and uplifted.

Here’s what my honeysuckle vine told me about joy.

Deborah introduced me to a concept I absolutely love: being personally considerate. It’s about treating yourself with the same level of patience and kindness that you (hopefully) extend to others. In other words, stop being so mean to yourself.

Many people get stuck in a loop of negative self-talk, replaying their failures like a bad highlight reel. But here’s the trick that has worked like a charm for me. The moment you catch yourself spiraling, ask, “What would I rather be thinking right now?

That one powerful question can redirect your focus and stop negativity in its tracks. It’s simple, but incredibly impactful.

I shared a personal story with Deborah that I think a lot of people can relate to. My husband got into this habit of singing the same theme song from a TV show we were watching, over and over. I felt like my brain might actually explode.

It was drivng me nuts. I’d roll my eyes and sigh dramatically, and I actually asked him to just stop. The next day, I had an epiphany: The problem wasn’t the song, it was my reaction to the song.

Instead of fuming, I joined him! We sang the theme togther at the end of every episode and suddenly, something that annoyed me became something we did together and laughed about.

Deborah pointed out that most of life’s irritations don’t actually matter. Like the next day it’s over and you’re on to something else. If you can learn to laugh at them, you win. Simple as that.

Ever spend an absurd amount of time tweaking an email, redoing your eyeliner, or rewriting a to-do list just to make it perfect. (Guilty.)

I refer to this as  the “margin of diminishing returns” which is actually something I lerned in my college economics class. The point is there comes a time when the extra effort doesn’t actually improve the outcome—it just stresses you out.

Instead of obsessing over perfection, focus on what actually moves the needle. Will it ruin your day if you don’t rewrite that sentence five times? Probably not. Will it ruin your day if your eyeliner is a tiny bit uneven? Only if you let it.

Perfectionism is a trap, and the sooner you escape it, the happier you’ll be.

Let’s talk about anger. We all experience it, but how we handle it makes all the difference.

Deborah swears by a simple but effective technique: Breathing. Not just any breathing, though. She recommends a conscious breath where you deeply inhale, hold for a moment, and then slowly exhale while imagining releasing all that frustration.

Maybe you breathe in to the count of four, hold for four and releae for the ount of six. Why does this work? Because breathing physically shifts your nervous system. It moves you from a fight-or-flight state to a place of calm control.

So, next time someone cuts you off in traffic or your internet crashes mid-Zoom call, take a breath before you react. It might just save your sanity.

One of the best ways to prevent bad days from spiraling is to have a solid set of mood-boosting rituals. Deborah shared some of her favorites:

At the end of the day, the biggest takeaway from my chat with Deborah is this – you have more control over your happiness than you might think.

Yes, life can be messy and people can be annoying. Yes, bad days happen. But you always have a choice in how you react.

What small shift can you make today? Maybe you can…

It’s all about tiny, intentional changes that stack up over time. Before you know it, you’ll find yourself having fewer days that suck—and way more that actually feel pretty darn good.

Now go forth and make today a little happier. You’ve got this!

The post Get the Keys to Happiness – Life Is Too Short To Be Grumpy! appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

Magic isn’t about pulling a rabbit out of hat. Real magic is about directing energy with emotion. It’s about living consciously and weaving intention into the fabric of your daily life. Amplifying your presence with love, light, and a touch of mystery.

Every morning, you make a choice: stumble through the day on autopilot or step into it with intention. Energy magic begins with awareness.

Start with your morning cuppa. Whether it’s coffee, tea, or lemon water, don’t just chug it while doom-scrolling. Instead, pause. Hold your mug, close your eyes, and imagine warmth radiating through you, filling every cell with vitality.

Stir love and energy into it. Visualize it awakening not just your body but your spirit. Whisper a word of gratitude, even if it’s just, “Let’s make today magical.”

Before stepping out the door, take a second. Picture the path ahead of you shimmering with light, clearing obstacles before you even reach them. Imagine the air around you charged with possibility. Walk into the world knowing you’re aligned with something greater than the mundane rush to work.

You don’t have to be a mystic to feel energy. Ever walked into a room and immediately sensed tension? Or met someone whose presence instantly lifted your mood? That’s energy magic at play. And guess what? You’re broadcasting yours all the time.

So, why not do it with purpose?

Send out silent blessings as you move through your day. Picture the people around you surrounded by golden light. Even that grumpy barista or the person who just cut you off in traffic.

Imagine sending them a spark of peace. It’s not for them, but for you. Holding resentment weighs you down, letting love flow keeps you light and free.

At work? Imagine your workspace infused with harmony. See yourself radiating clarity and confidence. If a tough conversation looms ahead, picture it bathed in understanding before it even happens.

Energy precedes action, so set the tone before you even speak.

Cooking? Don’t just go through the motions. Stir magic into your food. Imagine the meal nourishing more than just bodies—see it feeding souls, strengthening bonds, and bringing joy. Light a candle while you cook, play music that makes you feel alive, and infuse every movement with intention.

Cleaning? Instead of treating it like a chore, make it an energetic reset. Picture negativity being wiped away as you dust and scrub. Open windows, let fresh air in, and envision stale energy leaving with it. Smudging with sage or spraying a mist of essential oils can amplify the shift.

Even the simplest acts—tying your shoes, brushing your hair, taking a deep breath—can become sacred when done with awareness. The secret? Being present.

Manifestation isn’t just a buzzword. It’s the art of aligning thought, feeling, and action. What you focus on grows, so be mindful of what you mentally rehearse.

If you’re fixated on what’s going wrong, you’re energetically reinforcing it. Instead, shift and ask yourself, “What’s one thing going right?” Let that anchor you. Build on it.

Visualize your dreams as if they’re already unfolding. Feel the excitement, the relief, the joy. The Universe responds to emotion more than words. That’s how energy magic works.

It’s not just about saying, “I want abundance,” but feeling abundant before it even arrives. Act as if you’re already aligned with the life you want, and watch how reality starts to catch up.

Magic isn’t a one-time event; it’s a lifestyle. It’s in the small, consistent actions that shift your energy and shape your reality.

At the end of the day, energy magic isn’t something outside of you. It’s not reserved for the gifted, the chosen, or the enlightened. It’s within you, waiting to be activated.

So go ahead—infuse magic into your coffee, your commute, your conversations. Send light ahead of you. Bless the spaces you enter. Watch how life shifts when you show up as an active creator rather than a passive participant.

Because magic isn’t just real—it’s who you are.

And, last but not least, remember to Breathe Love & Magic!

According to the ancient Greeks, there are seven types of love that actually fall into different categories. Those Greeks really were amazing scholars and philosphers weren’t they? We still refer to their work today!

1. Eros – Passionate Love

2. Ludus – Flirty, Playful Love

3. Pragma – Enduring Love

4. Philia – Deep Friendship Love

5. Storge – Family Love

6. Philautia – Self-Love

7. Agape – Unconditional Love

8. Love for Pets & Animals

9. Love for Passion & Work

10. Love of Learning

11. Love of Nature & the Earth

12. Spiritual Love

When I started my journey to find love, I began with the idea that I had love energy within me, but I figured it was stagnant. That’s why my objective was to get my love energy moving again!

How did I do that? I wrote a bunch of little songs or chants to open my heart, believe in love, let go of past loves, and attract the one for me. These chants not only worked for me, but they have worked for my dating coaching clients as well. And as my Valentine’s Day gift to you, you can listen or download to all seven chants for FREE!

I learned something mind-blowing from acupuncturist Michael Hunter: Falling in love isn’t about finding someone—it’s about falling into the love that already exists within you.

The bottom line is that love is a state of being. YOU ARE LOVE. The other person is the spark that ignites the fire of love that already resides within you. You are not really in love with them but in love with love – the energy of love. This is how you remember that you are made of love!

So, when you love yourself, take care of yourself, honor yourself, maintain healthy boundaries, then you are more at peace. This is inner peace which is at the very center of world peace. Which means when you love yourself, you actually give world peace a chance to blossom.

Awesome advice about conscious dating in this podcast.

This is so incredibly powerful that it causes a chain reaction. This love energy begins to ripple out to everyone around you. And as that catches on, it ripples out around them – and so on, and so on.

When you embrace this truth, love stops feeling like something external to chase and becomes something you naturally radiate. As you radiate love from within, your energy field turns into an attraction beacon, drawing love to you.

Love attracts love because self-love makes you outrageously magnetic!

Want to attract love? Shift your energy! Love yourself, love your life, and you’ll become a magnet for the right partner who is the spark that ignites your love even more.

In this episode, I’m talking about the Planetary Alignment 2025 with seven planets showing up in the night sky and all the challenges you face as a result!

This big celestial event started on January 25, 2025 and is a rare cosmic spectacle—featuring Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all in the sky at the same time. The planets aren’t actually in a perfect line as some have said, but they are all in one area of the night sky to be viewed simultaneously!

This event is also called a “Planetary Parade.” How fun is that! It’s a big deal and this will go on until February 28th.

If you’re the sensitive type who feels the energetic shifts of celestial events, this one may pack a punch. But what does it mean spiritually? And more importantly, how can you make the most of it?

Whenever planets align, there’s a collective energy shift. Imagine these celestial bodies as tuning forks, all vibrating in harmony for a brief moment. This particular planetary alignment 2025 is thought to bring heightened awareness, deep transformation, and a call to realign with your soul’s path.

One way to look at this is to consider the opportunities that are present for you. It’s like doors are opening on the divine soul blueprint of your life and you get to choose and cross the threshold.

Now you might be wondering – “Ronnie, if you don’t like astrology, why are you talking about planetary influences?” Such a good question! Let me clarify. I don’t like checking out my own personal astrology because I find it limiting.

I’m a little rebel and don’t want to be told what’s going to happen or not happen for me. But something big like planetary influences affect us all. I am very interested in that because then I can understand what is happening and how I might respond or counteract something. I hope that explains my position.

Each of these planets carries its own energetic signature:

When they all synchronize, it’s like the Universe flipping a switch—bringing clarity, awakening, and perhaps a nudge (or a shove) in the direction of your highest good. Could also be a kick in the pants because I just got one.

The planetary alignment 2025 isn’t just a pretty sight—it’s an invitation to jump in and leverage what’s happening. How can you make the most of what is going on in the cosmos?

Here are some ways you can work with the energy to create real shifts in your life:

This is a potent time for setting intentions that align with your deepest desires. Think of it as placing an order with the Universe—specific, clear, and infused with energy. Write them down, say them out loud, or even create a small ritual around them.

Experts say the cosmic energy is heightened, which to me says the vibration or frequency is higher. What does that mean? This energy also heightens your intuition which you may find is sharper than usual.

Take time to sit in stillness, journal, or engage in visualization exercises. You might receive insights about the next steps in your life, or simply feel a deeper connection to yourself. When you put in thought, time, and energy on your intention, you are creating a beacon and sending it out into the cosmos.

Being specific is very important. And you can always wrap up swith words like “This or something better”. When you finish with this kind of sentiment, you are leaving room for the Universe which actually knows better than you what’s for your highest good.

With Uranus in the mix, don’t be surprised when unexpected shifts start happening. If something in your life is crumbling or changing rapidly, trust that it’s making space for something better. Alignments like this tend to shake loose anything that’s no longer serving you.

I know that’s not easy and I’m feeling this myself big time. My relationships are shifting and some people are falling away.

There are many tools ou can use to amplify your energy. Crystals are a classic tool. You might choose amethyst (intuition), citrine (self-esteem and confidence), and black tourmaline (protection and absorption of negative energy) can help you stay grounded and direct your energy.

Sound healing is a smart choice for helping you to release what no longer serves you and heal as well. Card readings or working with the runes or I ching can give you a bit of extra insight and guidance.

Breathwork and tapping EFT are other wonderful healing tools that will allow you to release stuck emotions from your body. Once you let go, your frequency has the ability to rise even higher.

The higher your vibe, the more magnetic you are, more in the flow and things can manifest more easily. This is how you can spend more time in the flow and allow everything to fall into place during this planetary alignment 2025.

Group energy is amazingly powerful. Being with others doing spiritual work, meditating, or using your intuition, amplifies everyone’s energy. It intensifies what’s there, unifies and magnifies.

Whether it’s a small gathering in person, an online circle, or even a one-on-one conversation with a friend who “gets it,” sharing your experiences and intentions during this time will likely be incredibly powerful.

This is exactly what will transpire in my program the Magic Hour. There is no better way to grow faster and speed up your abilities than with the amplification of group energy. Plus, you get such a feeling of support and community.

When you grow and try new things within a group setting, it completely enhances your experience and brings a sense of fun, companionship, and joy. That’s a big part of what my clients love about the Magic Hour.

The planetary alignment has created windows of heightened awareness and energetic shifts, but it’s up to you to step up and take advantage of them. This planetary alignment 2025 is an open door to realigning with your purpose in case you’ve gotten off track.

It’s a chance to release what’s outdated and what no longer serves you, so you can move on. It’s time to correct the course of the boat you’ve been sailing, and head into a more authentic version of yourself.

Take a moment right now to think about what’s calling to you? What changes have been nudging at you? What have your guides been saying or your dreams been communicating? This is the time to move forward.

Consider this planetary alignment as a universal green light—it’s time to sail beyond where you have gone before. New adventures are waiting. Will you take one? I sure hope so!

Now, I want to share a little about what’s been happening for me at this time. I can’t say it’s been easy. Last Friday I really fell into a hole of sorts, wondering, “What am I doing?” Things aren’t making sense. The message I’m getting is to let go but exactly how do I do that? How do I let go but keep going?

Here’s how my spiritual adventure began

My friend Krista told me I needed to go outside and be in nature. It was cold out and rain was threatening. But I put on my boots and walked to the back yard. Our property borders on some open space and I went all the way back to where the wildness begins.

Standing there for a while, I took in the view of tall grasses, golden and dry, waving in the strong breeze. I saw a couple of birds and heard the rustling of squirrels clambering up a tree. And I spoke to the Universe and aired my concerns. This is how I’m working with the planetary alignment 2025.

Next, I thought I’d try the divination method that Ashley Brothers taught in least week’s episode. Pose your specific question and ask to see signs.

The first sign I saw was a stalk of milkweed. It looked weathered and old, and the pods hung open at the top, mostly empty. And yet a couple still had a few seeds clinging to those pods. The thought came to me, well those seeds could still fall to the ground and pop up this spring. That possibility does exist.

Then, I walked over to the garden where I noticed one of the 4-foot-tall stakes that holds up the wire fence was no longer attached. It was leaning and no longer supporting the fence. That needs fixing for sure! So, the metal stake was disconnected, not being used, not engaged, not doing its job.

I moved on to notice a silver corner bracket on a bench just sitting there. The bracket was in good shape, but it wasn’t doing anything. Just sitting there for an unknown reason. Again, it wasn’t engaged, it wasn’t being useful, it wasn’t supporting anything or connected to anything. Same thing as the metal fence stake. Interesting, right?

The last item is a copper metal sculpture – like an oversized pinwheel for the flower garden. But it was not standing up straight – instead, it was lying on the ground, not being used. Not being decorative, not doing what it was meant to do – be pretty and spin in the wind.

Okay, that’s three metal items and one organic. I went back in the house and decided to look up the element metal in Chinese Medicine to see what that is about.

Metal is structure, boundaries, discernment of what to keep and what to let go of. Interesting! Metal is about lungs and large intestines  which relates to grief, sadness, self-worth, negative emotions. On the positive side it’s about clarity, decisiveness, focus and integrity.

When I think of metal what comes to mind is hard, cold, rigid, unyielding, and strong. Adding everything up what stood out most was this idea of letting go and being resilient. To keep going and keep standing. Find the support I need.

There’s a lot more in the podcast including picking a card and a message from my higer self, but this post is getting too long. Listen in to hear the rest of this episode about planetary alignment 2025!

Discover divination methods and how to tap into the subconscious mind, higher self, and spirit. In this Breathe Love &Magic episode, I had the pleasure of with Ashley Brothers all about using intuition and second sight.

Divination has been around since ancient times, with people accessing their second sight around the globe through a variety of divination methods. Ashley explained that traditional methods like reading tea leaves or using crystal balls are more than just fortune telling. They are ways of connecting perspectives through different objects which hold significant meaning.

The exciting thing is that she took us through a process that featured the query, “Is he the right guy for me? How timely with Valentine’s Day just around the corner! If you’ve been wondering this same thing, you’ve got to hear this podcast!

In her work, Ashley relies on the objects she notices after posing a specific question. She emphasized that true divination goes beyond accepting just the obvious interpretation of an object. Instead, it involves understanding the object deeply across various levels of perception.

Whether it’s a stone, a tarot card, or even a broken leaf, the essence of divination lies more in the interpretation through your senses and emotions.

We talked at length about the four states of perception. These are the physical-literal, mental-emotional, metaphorical-symbolic, and energetic. When examining an object that has caught your attention, start with the physical features like texture or color. Then notice emotions or thoughts that arise as you focus on it.

Afterward, you explore the symbolic meaning and what the object represents metaphorically. Finally, assess the energetic feel—does it seem light or heavy, constricted or expansive?

Through this exploration, you can gain a deeper and more accurate understanding of what your intuition is trying to communicate.

An intriguing point Ashley made was paying attention to what attracts and repulses you when working with divination. She explained that attractions might indicate familiar patterns, sometimes leading back to old habits.

On the other hand, things that repulse you could either be warnings or fears that need to be faced. This awareness encourages a balanced and insightful journey into your own intuitive fields. Being honest about these feelings allows you to navigate more authentically through divination methods.

Ashley explained that divination is a personal journey into your subconscious mind. Whether you’re using cards or other divination tools, she advises grounding yourself to clear the emotional noise. This way, your intuition can guide you more accurately.

One handy tip she shared involves muscle testing which keeps you from false information. Engaging with your heart’s truth opens a clearer channel for intuitive messages.

I shared an experience of a shamanic journey that delivered amazing and deeply meaningful visions including a jaguar cutting me to ribbons and putting me back together. However, when I tried this a second time months later, nothing came to me at all, so I asked Ashley about this.

She said that sometimes the tools and techniques that work the first time may yield nothing the next time. This doesn’t necessarily reflect failure but rather shows how anticipation and expectation can block your intuitive flow. Approaching each journey without preconceived outcomes opens up the possibility for new insights and revelations.

Listen to this episode about generational shamans.

If you are new to divination methods, Ashley recommends starting with different types of tools like runes, tarot, or I Ching. Experiment with different decks if cards are your choice, as some might resonate with you more deeply.

Another step to take that can move you forward is to find a teacher, locally or online. Working with someone experienced offers invaluable insights and personal growth opportunities. You benefit from the professional’s knowledge, energy, and encouragement.

The key to solid divination that helps you in life is to explore and find what aligns authentically with your inner wisdom.

Find out what it’s like to grow up with shamans.

While there are many wondrous tools and divination methods, both Ashley cautions against the Ouija board. The reason is this method often attracts lower level energies. It’s essential to ensure who you’re channeling or seeking advice from is from a source truly aligned with your highest good.

For example, I’ve had enough experiences to know the necessity for inviting only whole and healed ancestors into your sacred space. Spirits on the astralplane will not always have your highest good in mind. You want to have a safe and beneficial divination experience.

Ashley left us with an inspiring note—each divination journey is unique, just as you are. Embrace the variety and abundance of resources available and cherish the personal discoveries that unfold.

Whether you prefer cards, crystals, or other tools, remember that the journey enriches how you understand yourself, drawing you inward to your genuine path.

The post Signs, Symbols, and Truth Bombs: Ashley Brothers on Divination appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

Buckle up spiritual friends! We’re diving into a mystical world – Chinese Zodiac the Year of the Snake. Don’t be squeamish – the snake is positive!

This may surprise you, but this year’s Yin Wood Snake brings a gentle transformative energy, inviting you to be introspective and embrace change. In this episode of the Breathe Love and Magic podcast, I chatted with my friend Kim Julen, a Feng Shui Intuitive Coach, about what this mystical year has in store for you.

Kim pointed out there are two celebrations of Chinese New Year – the first is Lunar New Year (January 29th )and the Solar New Year (February 3rd) when the changes really start to kick in.

The snake symbolizes wisdom and transformation, offering a shift from the active energy of last year’s yang wood dragon. This year will be more feminine, with a calmer, introspective vibe. It’s about recalibration and welcoming new beginnings. As Kim put it, “This year, we have a chance to take a breath, go within, and embrace the yin.”

Kim and I spoke about the importance of slowing down this year. The snake teaches not only to grow but also to let go of what doesn’t serve you. It’s a time for healing and focusing on inner transformation. A year, perhaps, to focus on wellness—both emotional and physical.

Comparing this year with 2024, Kim noted that last year was about fiery activity even though the divine feminine energy was coming in. On the other hand, 2025 offers tranquility. It’s a year to tune into yourself and take a cosmic breath.

Imagine shedding old narratives and what no longer serves you just like a snake sloughs off its old skin. Then you’ll be ready to manifest with joy and lightness.

Think about it. While everyone else is out there hustling, you’ll be doing the real work of internal alchemy and emotional detox. Sort of like spiritual spring cleaning.

With Feng Shui insights, Kim shared this practical magic toolkit for the Snake year. Here are simple actions you can take to align your space with this year’s energy:

Also, last year, according to Chinese astrology, the wheel moved into period nine which is about completing things. If you want Success Tips for the Next 20 years to Navigate Period 9 with Success click here

For those of you who are curious, animals like the ox, rooster, and monkey are expected to fare well in this Chinese zodiac year of the snake. The pig, however, might need to take things a little slower. Feng Shui is all about “cures” and what can help any of you who might be born in a pig year is to carry a monkey talisman. The monkey is a snake ally, so it helps deflect any negative snake vibe.

This year’s energy is perfect for experiencing more joy and lightening up. I mentioned how learning about this was so synchronistic because I’m launching a new program, the day after Chinese New Year, on February 4th called The Magic Hour.

The Magic Hour is all about tapping into joy and community as ways to spark spiritual growth and manifestation. The Chinese zodiac year of the snake calls for embracing lightness and joy, which echoes the core principles of my program! So amazing!

Kim emphasized daily practices that can help you harness positive energy this year. None of these are radical or new, but they do produce results! Try meditating, doing good deeds, and practicing gratitude. I shared how in The Magic Hour program, the group will share blessings for others and the world as well.

Keep in mind, your energy plays a crucial role in what you attract into your life. When working to manifest your heart’s desire, it works best to come from a higher vibration. The energy of joy is wonderful for manifesting.

As the cosmic conversation wrapped up, the message was clear: This is the year to embrace change and the opportunity for transformation brought by the Yin Wood Snake. You can learn so much about yourself even when facing challenges.

The snake teaches that true power isn’t loud—it’s deliberate. It’s not about forcing change but allowing it to flow through you. Elevating your energy helps elevate the world around you, creating ripples of positivity.

Every challenge is an invitation. Every moment is a chance to elevate not just yourself, but the collective energy around you. We’re not just individual beings, we’re interconnected threads in a massive cosmic tapestry.

Let’s review what was shared about the Yin Wood Snake Year:

These aren’t just spiritual platitudes, they’re practical life strategies that work whether you believe in cosmic energy or not.

What one thing are you ready to shed this year? What old pattern, belief, or habit has been holding you back? What new introspective habit are you willing to take on? The Snake year is asking you to get real, get honest, and get moving.

Start small. Meditate for five minutes a day. Journal your thoughts. Have those uncomfortable conversations you’ve been avoiding. Clean out that junk drawer—both literally and metaphorically.

The Universe doesn’t require grand gestures. It responds to intention. To authenticity. To the willingness to show up and do the work.

Join me in embracing the energy of this year and looking forward to the magic it will bring. Let’s step into it together, transforming with grace and enjoying the journey. Cheers to a year filled with wisdom, healing, and newfound joys!

The post Chinese Zodiac Year Of The Snake – What It Means To You appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

If you have a feeling about something in business or a challenge in life, trusting your intuition is a must. I talk about why you should trust your gut which will not lead you astray. That’s what your ego does!

Trusting your inner wisdom is what drives me and why I work with people who need to solve problems or have business issues. No matter how much information and data you collect, there is rarely enough ideal information to make a solid decision.

Somehow there’s always a bit of guess work. You can make a pro and con list. You can make a grid that examines all your options. But ultimately, intuition eliminates the guessing by using this innate resource. That’s why your intuition can really save your butt, your bank account, and even your heart.

This week I am sharing this super fun interview published by my good friend Megan Mary’s on her Women’s Dream Enlightenment podcast.

We discuss my journey from business consultant to becoming a love coach and then an intuitive guide. I talk about how I have gone about integrating intuition, dreams, Akashic Records, and past lives into my work. I also offer energy healing and bioenergetic clearing that works amazingly well to help you know your next step, move forward by taking action.

Later, I share personal stories about how trusting my gut and relying on intuition has been invaluable in my business. I’ve made some very big decisions that went against how things looked on paper. I left money sitting on the table, as they say, which went against all logic.

But I totally trusted myself. Months later, the truth came out and I discovered that these choices were solid decisions that served me very well. There have been no missteps resulting from relying on my inner wisdom. It is tried and true method for decision making, and a proven resource that has never let me down yet!

I also recounted how dreams guided me since this is Megan Mary’s favorite topic. Figuring out what my dreams are telling me is a lot of fun and incredibly helpful. It’s not always easy, but it’s worth giving it a try. This is another place where trusting your intuition comes into play – through your subconscious mind and dreams.

In addition I spoke a little about my upcoming book with the working title Conversations on the Inner Plane – How to Talk to Anyone or Anything Intuitively. I have talked with people who have passed, fictional characters, historical individuals, as well as deities, faeries, plants, animals, and even fire!

I give some practical advice on strengthening intuition with a couple of very simple tips to work with. I’m always willing to help someone out working on developing and trusting your intuition.

Megan Mary and I had a lot of fun in this conversation and that is obvious as we converse easily and have a few good laughs. Being a guest on someone else’s podcast is a nice switch for me and I look forward to doing more of this in 2025.

Hope you enjoy and as always wishing you love and magic and thanks for listening!
