If you feel like you've been in a pressure cooker lately, you're not alone. We are in middle of eclipses, a Mercury Retrograde, and our largest planet Jupiter changing signs. And if that wasn't enough, the Numerology gods are putting the heat on too.
This week is a rare numerological alignment of 9-9-9 (September 9, 2016). We've been experiencing the effects of the 9-year (2+0+1+6 = 9) all year, which is why we've seen lots of endings of all kinds, from deaths to culmination of chapters, detoxing the body, moves, and decluttering.
This 9-year hit me right as the calendar struck January 1 with the first 4 months of 2016 being one purge after another on the levels of mind, body, and home, which gave me the inspiration for my next book that I'm currently writing.
I'm sure many of you have also experienced aspects of this throughout the year. The upcoming 999 gateway will be a portal from now until the end of the year to release anything that is no longer in your highest and best interest.
Next year will be a 1-year that starts a new 9-year cycle. It's imperative that your frequency stay on track with this new vibration. In January 2016 we had a dimensional shift on the planet and this is happening again this month. Think of it as an energy upgrade from the Universal energy worker.
Waking up is no longer a luxury. Waking up to your life's purpose. Waking up to your Self. Waking up to your heart. Waking up to life. The Sun has been making strong aspects to the North Node recently. The North Node is one's destiny point - what you are moving towards in this life to fulfill why you are here. We are all being nudged, or shaken, towards awakening to this.
The best and really only way to step into the future is in releasing the past. And the stars are aligning big time right now to help us do this.
Here are some tools that can assist in this last purge of 2016.
1. Decluttering. Anything that you haven't let go from the past is somewhere in your home. That acknowledgment followed by releasing the item(s) is the most powerful way to let go of the past that is keeping you from moving forward.
The Online Clutter Clearing Detox is only $9 through September. This is a 9-day do-on-your-own course to get you going on your decluttering mission. With all the Virgo energy in the collective astrology right now, we are being assisted as much as possible to declutter. Virgo is the sign of purification! The only reason I'm not giving this course away this month is because you'll be more apt to follow through with it if you pay for it:)
2. Forgiveness of others and yourself is crucial in moving forward. The Ho'oponopono Prayer is a powerful modality for doing that. It's the simple affirmation: I'm sorry, Please forgive me, I love you, Thank you. Here's one of my favorite Youtube videos for guiding it.
3. Cutting cords. If you still have connections with people from your past that's weighing you down, now is the time to let it go. Honestly acknowledge what you may have been getting out of holding on to the connection even if the person is no longer in your life. This may need to be done in tandem with the above forgiveness prayer. There are tons of guided meditations on cutting cords on Youtube to help assist you with this.
4. Inner Child Work. One of my favorite self-help authors is Teal Swan who just released a book called The Completion Process. This is a no-fluff book that goes straight to the core of healing. If you're ready to heal childhood issues, wounds, and trauma once and for all, this is the book for you. Any issue you are struggling with right now is just a replica of a childhood wound before age 8!
5. Smudge away. Clearing your home of the past is essential. This is best done following clutter clearing to remove any remaining energy from the past. It will clear the slate, so it's important to invoke a positive affirmation, mantra, prayer, or blessing into your home after a space clearing. Burning sage and/or using my Smudge Spray Clearing Blend are recommended, followed by the Ceremonial Blend.
6. Knowledge is power. Step away from the news and surround yourself with positivity. There are so many amazing sources of inspiration available now. If you haven't tuned into to my podcast episodes, you can listen here at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/fengshuiyourlife OR SUBSCRIBE in iTunes HERE! I have a range of topics with much more to come. ALSO Check out my YouTube channel with new videos weekly!
7. Feng Shui the Right Way. By placing positively focused attention on your home, you put positive focused attention on yourself and your life. It really is a win-win even if it's not perfect. But here are some definite no-no's in my recent post, 4 Design Trends That Are Bad Feng Shui. By the way, the number 9 is the number of feng shui because of its association with letting go. In fact, the Chinese Proverb, If you want to change your life, move 27 things in your home, was the inspiration behind my first book! (2+7 = 9) You can check out all my books here!
8. North Node anyone? If you're now wondering what your NN is from me mentioning it above, my favorite and most underlined book I own is Jan Spillers' Astrology for the Soul. Or get your entire chart read by an astrologer. Know thyself.
9. LAST BUT NOT LEAST... the Fall enrollment for my ONLINE Certification Course is in full swing and starts September 26th. There is a great group forming! It's the perfect way to feng shui your life and your career! Here's a little video with more info.
