tbh i was toying with the idea of deleting this recording because i thought that it was dry, but turns out that it’s preeetty freakin juicy. it quenched something within me that i didn’t even know was parched; stilled some restlessness that had been simmering just below my perception. i felt better—lighter—after listening, and i hope you do too.

in this little energy update, we reflect on what’s been going down so far this summer. we talk about the molting process that our collective seems to be going through, and how the growing pains that accompany it might be best soothed.

as i say in the episode, i’ll be back again during Virgo season to chat more in-depth about the Water trigram and the Ring of Alchemy!

links:

Ra: The Path of the Sun God movie

* the part relevant to our discussion of Apep is 0:45-2:07.

* the esoteric symbology is so thick that i had to watch this movie in phases over the course of a few months. if you’re interested in Egyptian cosmology and want to dive deeper, don’t be discouraged by the pace at which you might need to move!

with loving blessings of both strength and softness as you welcome more of your Self home <3

Welcome to the Vestalia for this bagua season: sensual, fertile, mysterious Earth.

In this episode, we reflect on some of the Taurus energy that we’ve been experiencing: the journey of learning how to create our worlds in a sustainable way; the tendency to hyper-compartmentalize our experience of Life; and surrendering the Ego’s desires for those of the Soul.

We also take a little time to tap into Gemini season with a short but powerful reading (44:33) signaling a shift in consciousness, possibly mirrored by a significant death to codependency.

Links that I promised:

* my Talaria post about surrender

* Take Your Time: The Wisdom of Slowing Down by Eknath Easwaran

* The Prohpet by Kahlil Gibran

* 55th Gene Key synthesis by Richard Rudd (writing and audio)

* The audio contemplation that I mentioned does not actually exist. Maybe it did at one time… Regardless, I found this instead!

* video of a dragonfly’s transformation

If you’re like, “Hold up—What the heck is a vestalia?” then bop on over to my most recent post on Talaria to find out!

For those of you who are familiar: WELCOME!

I’m so happy to finally invite you into this space that has been cooking itself up inside my belly all winter.

In this first Vestalia we talk Aries season, the foundational baby steps of springtime, and take a look ahead at what themes this whole year is emphasizing for us. Since this is getting released with only about a week of Aries season left, I recommend using that part as a confirmation and/or helpful reframe for what you’ve already been experiencing this season.

Timestamps can be found below. Journaling prompts and everything else I promised in the episode can be found on Talaria. Enjoy!

xo Lizzie ♥

the 59th holds the original meaning of dispersing in the I Ching, and in the Gene Keys is known by the Shadow of Dishonesty, the Gift of Intimacy, and the Siddhi of Transparency.

as i mention at the top, this Key is very special to me. the 59th is the home of my Moon, and also happens to be where my partner’s unconscious Sun rests. this is energy that i navigate within my-self and at least one other person intimately (ba-dum-tss) every single day. i suppose this is how i was able to talk about it for nearly 2 hours straight!

there are so many gems in this one, all related to becoming closer to Source — both through remembering that we are One with each other, and that we are One within ourselves. we talk about softness as a necessity during Shadow work; the power of seeking the Highest in everyone we meet; how getting triggered is the catalyst for our awakening; and more!

this was truly a treat to listen back to. probably my favorite in the Lunar Reflections series so far :)

this episode includes…

* a reminder to be nice to myself;

* an update on my creative process as a Manifestor, working through the challenge of having Chiron in Gate 1, and honoring the Manifestor rest + pause as much as our urge to create;

* new insights about the Buddhist idea of the Bodhisattva;

* how clarity around one's Shadow patterns + stories (aka Karma) allows one to act independently from them;

* Line 5 epiphanies and clarity around “universal teachings”;

* a hefty critique of Ra Uru Hu’s projections of his own conditioning onto his concepts of the Manifestor and 5th Line;

* a reminder to not take Life seriously (Keys 46 and 25, the 3rd Seal);

* the mental body, core wound of shame, and perceived separation from Divine Flow;

* how to take the weight of the world off our shoulders;

* a small preview of the upcoming Ring of Alchemy and Ring of Matter;

* exploring what the True essence of the Manifestor is, and the idea that we get to direct how it will be expressed in the New World;

* & way too much of me peeling my sunburn ;)

*CW: sexual abuse*

welcome to the second episode in my Lunar Reflections series; it seems to be a very natural flow for me and i’m excited to have another reflection to share with you already!

in this episode, we deep dive into the last 6 weeks of my journey through shadow work. we start at the beginning of Mountain Season when i began to get closer to a lost aspect of my inner child, and end with some emotional clarity bestowed by the Aquarius Full Moon.

sharing this episode demands a lot of vulnerability from me. as i mention, only one person in my life knows these truths about my experience. i didn’t realize until recording earlier today that Shame is what kept these truths a secret — kept the part of me that experienced these things a secret.

that part of me deserves to be free.

thank you to all the people who came before me, brave enough to share their pain so that they could also share how they came to peace with it.

i’ve learned that Humans connect most deeply when we see the scary, uncomfortable, confusing and upsetting parts of ourselves — the Beast in us — reflected in others. we open up more to each other when we sense that we are not alone in our animalness or in our suffering.

and so i follow in the footsteps of those who came before me, with as much Graciousness as possible. i hope that by sharing my experiences and how i’ve lived with them, i am helping people (myself included!) allow more love and openness in their Life.

if you listen to any part at all, thank you for being here with me and being a part of my healing. i am grateful you exist and i hope that you are too :)

see you again in a week or two!

with all my love,

Lizzie xx

The 12th is a powerful key for me.

I’m so deeply thankful that I got to swim in its energy intentionally for a while yesterday. Here are some of the fruits of that communion :)

I discuss…

* the hexagram structure of the 12th (Heaven over Earth);

* the different levels of Egoic expression + how to develop a healthy Ego;

* the myth of Parzival and the Holy Grail;

* the “8 C’s of the Self” from IFS;

* surrendering the Ego to the Will of the Divine;

* how Self-knowledge leads to Self-integrity;

* Earth as The Planet of Weirdos;

* and more!

how my yearlong journey with the 17th gene key (the Second Sacred Seal) has changed me.

if you’re interested in contemplating along the similar lines, here are some guiding questions:

* how has your ability to hold space for others’ perspectives changed in the last year?

* how has your relationship with the idea of “purpose” evolved?

* is there something you believe today that you weren’t able to last year?

* what is something you can admit about yourself today that you were hiding a year ago?

* in what ways do you show kindness and compassion for yourself?

* where do your passions and talents overlap?
