Reordering My Heart: December Reflections

Something I’ve increasingly noticed over the past few years is a calling to turn inward come December.

As the sun rises a little later and the ocean crashes with more ferocity at night, I feel a soulful need to take inventory, reflect, and close things out as the end of the year draws near, as if I’m clearing space from my inner worktable of psyche and soul.

Sometimes, I make lists in my journal, going month by month or grouping things by quarter and writing down the major themes, occurrences, and lessons. It’s my way of putting a mile marker on my journal page and acknowledging, “I was here..”

November Akashic Magic: Focus on The Light

As I was opening the records, I was seeing all sorts of imagery of broken pottery, broken vases, and I saw a very specific image of a vase that had been filled with liquid gold wherever the cracks were.

And that idea of the Japanese Kintsugi art— of taking something broken and using gold to reassemble it, and I also had a sense of light shining through the cracks. There was a lot of energy around this idea of focusing on the gold, the light and where that might be shining through something that looks broken.

The emphasis was on focusing on things coming together, being put together in a bigger way…

October Akashic Magic: Terra Firma

October of 2024: as I was opening the records, I was seeing multiple images of different kinds of land, and a very specific image that my mind's eye honed in on is a memory from a movie called "Gravity."

It is towards the end of the movie there is a space pod hurtling back down to earth, and it lands in the water, and the ending scene is the lead character getting out and getting into the water and then moving onto the land for the first time.

It's a deeply symbolic movie, and that is what I what I saw in my mind's eye as I opened the records—images of somebody taking their first steps after a voyage, and they have arrived on new ground.

And I saw the words terra firma, solid ground, firm ground...

September Akashic Magic: Distilling Truth

September of 2024— as I was opening the records for this month, I immediately saw stacks and stacks of different kinds of items.

The first image that I saw was stacks of various papers and things that are stacked up on a desk, reaching like really, really high that need to be sorted through.

There was a sense of sifting and sorting and organizing and planning that came with that.

It feels like this is a month when we are going to be invited into looking at things in greater detail and really studying things closely.

The words that are coming through that go with these images for the month of September are “distilling truth.”...

May Akashic Magic: Comfort and Healing

May of 2024, the Akashic Records opened with some interesting images this month.

First, I heard the dinging of an oven in my mind and I had an image of freshly baked rolls coming out of the oven. And it was this really homey kitchen dinner was on the table. There was this feeling right about when you're going to sit down for a really good meal. And it was great outside.

So it felt very warm and very cozy. And the energy itself felt grounded. It felt comforting. There was a sense of consolation and healing and just coming into this beautiful grounded energy…

March Akashic Magic: What Is To Come

March of 2024, the Records opened with the sound of ice breaking.

And what I saw was an image of thick ice that had cracked, and there was a gap and there was water flowing below. The focus was on the water - not so much on the breaking - it was on what was underneath the surface.

And the energy around all of this was very much on what has been going on underneath the surface, and seeing with more clarity, the transformation in some of the metamorphosis that has been taking place…

February Akashic Magic: Energy Boost

All right, February of 2020 already feels like a burst of fresh energy. And as I was opening the Records, I had several images coming all at once.

The first one was somebody biting into like a really juicy and tangy orange. And it was really refreshing, like, on a hot day, or when you're really thirsty or something like that. And it just hits the spot.

And I also had a sense of like a clean breeze coming through, I had a lot of of energy, almost like a big shot of vitamin C or something like that, something that revitalizes somebody, and I had an image of sea salt, air and ocean waves.

And the focus of the imagery was really on the senses with a sense of inspiration and a sense of like an energy boost…

December Akashic Magic: Celebrate and Be Upheld

December of 2023, the Records opened with so many different positive images that were coming through.

First, I saw someone laying in a hammock that was strong up between two palm trees, and it was just gently swaying in the breeze. And there was a sense of a lull in energy, a sense of being held, and a sense of being supported that came with that.

And I also had a sense of Safari vacation holiday with this energy of having an adventure. And I saw the words “write your own adventure, choose your own adventure, writing a new chapter” and an image of somebody with binoculars and a backpack on their back.

There was this really fun; a delightful sense of Safari-type energy and adventure, and it feels really positive...

September Akashic Magic: Grounded Actions, Strategic Steps

“All systems go” is what I'm hearing. And there is a sense that with that, there have been many shifts and changes for many of those listening to this throughout the year of 2023.

And I'm almost seeing these images of columns, like if it was a graphic in a video game, or something like that - it's like it’s coming through like Tetris, and you have been trying to stack blocks or do something in a way that adds up. And all of a sudden, all this space is cleared -

I'm feeling a sense of breakthrough coming through…

June Akashic Magic: To Turn The Lights On

The Records for June of 2023, opened with a sense of very bright sunlight, or very bright light streaming through - it felt shockingly bright.

And this felt like as if you had been in a dark cave or in a room of darkness for a while, and all of a sudden, you stepped out into the daylight and the sun is hitting your eyes, it’s both dazzling, it’s glaring, it's beautiful. It's also a little bit jarring. And that was the opening image as the Records were opening up.

And the words that were coming through as I was opening the Records were “illumination” and “to turn the lights on”…

April Akashic Magic: New Horizon

As I was opening the Records for the month of April of 2023 - there were several different images coming through.

First, I saw a calm, clear and glassy sea. And there were birds that were flying over the air. And the sense of the scene was that a storm had recently cleared.

And so, there was this sense of clearing and clean air and freshness. And that idea that you get when something has been chaotic, or frantic, and stills, and you have a moment to pause and look around and kind of assess what happened. And where are we now…

March Akashic Magic: Point of View

As I opened the Records and felt the energy this month, it was this juxtaposition of movement.

And I saw being in a simulator ride, and the ride and the seats move you back and forth and up and down. And it's designed to make you feel like you're experiencing that. In reality, you're just in this little simulator.

And so there was this sense of movement and things happening around us. And yet at the same time focusing on the individual who is like “I'm just on a ride right now, I'm buckled into my seat, I am fine”…

Navigating Spiritual Awakenings

A spiritual awakening could also be called a disruption of consciousness, or an awakening of consciousness.

Imagine that you have a certain view in which you see the world, that has developed over time by what you’ve been taught, what you understand to be true, and what you have experienced for yourself.

In a sense, you might think of this as anchoring yourself to the things that feel true for you and certain. When we anchor to ourselves to things that feel certain for us - without even knowing that we're doing it - we have created a set point that helps center us.…

January Akashic Magic: Ready to Go

As I was opening the Records, I immediately saw an image of a burst of butterflies flying free in the air, like they had been released all at once.

And there was this sense of momentum - and a sense of the Records themselves - as if they couldn't wait to tell us what is in store for us for January of 2023 and the overall energy of the year of 2023.

And that felt like it echoes the energy of the month, because I saw the word's 'hit the ground running' come up. And I'm seeing right now 'ready to be released, ready to go'…

November Akashic Magic: Life in Motion

November of 2022 is a month where there is going to be a lot of motion, and some of that might feel fast-paced.

For some of you, it might feel fast - because October and September may have felt like more of a slowdown - or you may have felt like you have been waiting for something to happen.

The energy has been tied up, and suddenly everything busts loose in November….

October Akashic Magic: Inner Sanctum

The Records for October of 2022 opened with an image of a bear, and the bear was slowly lumbering towards a cave.

There was a sense of hibernation, there was a sense of taking time out, there was a sense of resting to the energy and a sense of turning inwards.

A lot of movement is going on on the surface this October, and a lot might really distract us. But if you can move beneath the superficial surface, there is a sense of calm, warmth, and being held….

August Akashic Magic: Restoration & Retreat

As I was opening the records for August, I saw an image of softly falling snow.

And as that softly falling snow was coming to the ground, the image kind of shifted, and I saw a cabin in winter, and there was smoke rising from the chimney and warm lights on. And there was a sense of comfort and safety.

I saw the words retreat, restoration, and repair…

June Akashic Magic: New Vision

June of 2022 is a month of clear seeing - and how that's coming through is: if somebody had a pair of glasses on that they wore, and the glasses were maybe foggy or had clouds on them or grit on them that was keeping the person from seeing fully.

I'm seeing this image of taking those glasses off and really, you know, rubbing a soft cloth over them and cleaning them up and when the person puts them back on, everything feels so much sharper. It feels so much more nuanced.

There’s a sense of a wider gaze and seeing things from a clean and fresh perspective…

May Akashic Magic: Metamorphosis

As the Records were opening, the first thing I saw was a picture of a beautiful glittering diamond.

And I saw this process that a diamond goes through to form under tremendous amounts of pressure.

And there was very much the energy that that's a metaphor for the month of May: that diamonds are gems that are often formed under a sense of pressure, they’re formed sometimes in the darkness, they're formed under natural conditions that apply pressure, and invite us to transmutation. And on the heels of those images, I also saw a butterfly…

Finding Perspective in Challenge & Change

I once wrote the words March comes with a side dish of chaos. For whatever reason, I’ve found this to be true across the years.

Maybe it’s because March is named after the God of War, Mars, and Mars energy is typically fiery, willful, and can be conflict-oriented.

Maybe it’s because March hosts the vernal equinox and there’s a hectic rush of energy as the earth makes her final preparations to awaken and birth us into spring’s cycles…
