The Revolution of Awakening

A revolution is calling and it starts with you.

Whether we like it or not, we are being called to wake up. Perhaps we have been feeling it for sometime now, but now more than ever is the time to honor what is showing up and wanting to emerge. As significant energetic shifts and planetary events occur, they also occur within, and regardless of having an interest in these type of things, these evolutionary game changers are bound to be felt on some level or another.

​Perhaps they have felt like rumblings of truth bubbling to the surface. A rejection of old ways. An intolerance to that which is heavy, negative and incongruent with something seeming more authentic to who you really are, however blurred behind the trappings of identity that may be. Or perhaps a clinging to that which makes you feel safe and certain, a feeling of overwhelm or a desire to tune out. All of these bristly rubs or (impulses to numb) are actually clues to help you awaken and the first thing that is needed to make sense of any of it is to simply start to pay attention. Why?

Because your light is needed.

And when we ignore the callings of our Soul we dim the light that is needed to fulfill the purpose of why we are here, to help others do the same and help heal the suffering in the world. Each one of us is a powerful piece to this puzzle, and are worthy of living as the brightest light of who we are and to shine for one another. What a shame it would be if we all were to stay dim in our radiance, to live in rejection of what we are meant to be.

Ok. So now what ?

To make way for an awakening, means that we must get to work, becoming the miners for the gold within and the alchemist of that which does not serve the highest narrative of our souls contract. It means that change must be made and an inner revolution must occur so that no matter what, we will keep digging and no matter what we will continue to till the soil so our Truth can bloom, and let go of the stories anyone else wants or expects from us, along with the ones we have been telling ourselves. By seeking out our own deep, perfectly imperfect and noble warrior/ress story, we step into the role the one we were made to play all along.

Getting there means we will need to begin saying yes to each and every inner calling that craves more of the energy, the passions and the people that makes us come alive and awaken to our magic. We must explore the curious nature of our wild and hungry soul and set fire to that which keeps us asleep.
We must be willing to say no to what does not resonate or sit right and be fierce protectors of our energy. And most importantly we must make the decision that we have had enough of the conditioned and limiting beliefs that tell us to settle and resign for some half assed, hum drum version of existence, once and for all.

Fear is abound and wants to keep us small and it is easier to live in default mode, avoiding the risk that comes with blossoming, keeping the blinders on to another possibility, but if you are still reading this, I have a feeling you are wanting and ready for something more. That you know there is so much more and have either already started to tap into it and are ready and wanting to dive in. Like Bruno’s resolute conviction of an infinite universe (in a world that believed it was the only one) and his willingness to stand in his truth despite charges of heresy (and eventual execution), we must commit to our knowing in a bold way, knowing that even though it may (and it will) create friction and judgement as it challenges the status quo, that we must soldier on in pursuit of our souls message.

So dear Souldiers, some tips for your awakening :


  1. Find stillness. Yep. The surest way to connect to your own truth is to sit and be with yourself. Listen for those moments of clarity and rest in the spaces in between thought and judgement. Carve out time daily to do this and do not waver in your commitment, even when you miss a day. Providing your Self this sacred time is the foundation for your awakening to flourish.
  2. Open your heart. Every day do something that connects you to your heart. Whether it is simply sitting up tall, drawing your shoulder blades together, and feeling your sternum rise to the heavens and the stiffness in your chest begin to loosen, or practicing yoga or a guided meditation, open, and connect. The heart is the gateway to your soul and offers a refuge from a worried mind. When we connect to the heart we get to the root of what matters and is worthy of our attention.
  3. Make space. Create an environment for yourself where you feel more free. Declutter and let go of all of the things you really do not need and that create distraction for you to be more present. Something shifts when we say, "I don't need this. This no longer serves me", and that applies to thoughts, habits and relationships as well. When we become willing to release the things that get in the way of spaciousness, we create conscious space for what is most valuable to flow in.
  4. Consume wisely. What we focus our energy on, and what we let in, plays a huge factor in how "clear” we will be. When we start to look at what we invite into our bodies, minds and spirits we empower ourselves to rise above overwhelm and over saturation. This means setting boundaries as far as what/how much media we take in, to what accounts we follow, to what news we read/watch and what relationships we invest in. If we are constantly ingesting the energy of fear and negativity , fear and negativity will be that much harder to override. Your essence at its core is love and wants more of what brings that essence forth. As you become more connected to this frequency that which is in opposition to it will become that much more clear.
  5. Clear it out. The Standard American diet is latent with heavy, deadening foods that leave a literal toxic residue inside of you that not only creates a feeling of stagnation (that may not even seem unusual by now) that is reeking havoc on your energetic (and there for physical, psychological and spiritual health). Cleansing and refining your diet can be one the most powerful things you can do to find an enhanced mind, body and spirit connection. It's a hard truth to swallow, but enlightenment just isn't coming from junk food and sweets.
  6. Move your body. Explore the freedom that comes alive when you feel into different spaces within you. The forgotten pieces. The joyous flowing river that wants to spring forth. Dance or do yoga. Run or ride a bicycle. It seems pretty simple yet so many of us are sedentary, moving in rigid and routine ways that keeps the energy stuck when it really needs to be shaken up, and released so energy can flow more freely and allow the light of spirit to shine through .
  7. Create ritual. Ritual helps us to come back to the simple act of doing what we’re doing with purpose and with reverence. When we live in ritual and honor practices that help us to connect to deeper levels of consciousness we move away from habitual and mindless ways of going about our day that make the flow of spirit less accessible.
  8. Connect with nature. We are nature, and so if we are to discover and celebrate the nature of who we are, we must connect to the reflections of our truth that can be seen and felt in the natural world in which we live. When we are surrounded by fresh air, signing birds, bodies of water, desert flowers, or simply feeling the earth beneath our feet, we are ever so quickly brought into remembering our connection to everything, thus reminding us we are not alone and are graciously being supported.
  9. Listen and look for guidance. As you become more connected to your truth, you will find that what you need to know will come to you. Perhaps not right when you want, but just wait and you will see that it will be in perfect timing. The answers you are seeking are there be it through encounters, conversations, articles or literal “signs” and they will be there to guide you if you are to stay open.
  10. Be patient and heal. This process brings up lots of shadows that you will have to look at, but they are there to be acknowledged, cradled and released. We won't be getting anywhere if all the yucky stuff that comes up just gets pushed back down the channel, further blocking our radiance. Be willing to be uncomfortable for a bit to heal the wounds so you can get to your luminous core.
  11. Treat your self. You deserve it. Setting aside time specifically for you is so important as you do this often challenging work required of transformation. Massage, energy work, yoga, going on retreat, all of these things are gifts that go a long way and will nourish you through these growing pains, facilitate clearing and deepen your connection to your worthy Self.
  12. Fall in love with the truth of who you are. As you catch glimpses and experience flowing in your authenticity, know that magical presence within you, is you and needs no changing, just more TLC!!!! It may catch you off guard, to feel so damn mighty, but don’t deny yourself the light of who you are and have come here to share with the world. It is needed and waiting to be affirmed. When we are in love with the divine spark within we can be in love with the divine spark throughout existence, living in celebration and testimony to all of creation. And that is how the ultimate revolution is born. ​
