Eclipse season reflections | What If You Don't Have to Decide Yet? ✨

There is another layer of this journey that has been revealing itself to me since I returned home from my travels earlier this week, and it feels like a natural continuation of everything I've been sharing with you through the August energies of 8/8 portal and eclipse/s.

I've been sitting with this question of what is actually coming with me into the next chapter and what isn't. And interestingly, I don't feel like I'm being given a list of answers. If anything, I'm feeling an invitation to stop rushing to find them….or to take any action at all right now.

In this season of change and as I feel the internal shift within me, there are things that feel different, kind of up in the air right now. In the way I work, my creative expression, the commitments I make, the roles I play, my routines and habits, the things I say yes to and even some of the ways I've become accustomed to showing up. And for perhaps the first time I'm noticing that I don't need to immediately decide what stays and what goes. I can simply witness what is changing.

Because sometimes we can become so accustomed to believing that every insight needs to become an action. We have a realisation, and immediately we think, so what do I need to do about this, what needs to change, what decision do I need to make or what's the next step….etc etc. But what if the knowing doesn't need to be rushed into form? What if there is wisdom in allowing ourselves to stand at the threshold for a little while and simply look around…..

This has been particularly present for me around my work and the commitments I've made over the years. I've noticed how easily I can confuse responsibility with desire, or being needed with being aligned. How quickly an opportunity can become something I feel I '“should” say yes to and how easily the fear of missing out, being left behind, being forgotten or no longer being needed can quietly influence my choices. And I'm beginning to see that these aren't necessarily reasons to leave something.

They're simply reasons to pause and ask a deeper question If I were completely free from the fear of losing something, would I still choose it?

That question feels very different because it doesn't ask me to reject anything. It simply invites me to discover what is actually true and perhaps this is another layer of what the eclipse has been illuminating for me. Not simply what I need to release but what becomes possible when I release my attachment to how things have to be.

I keep hearing from my team….’anything is possible’….and I feel the spaciousness in those words. Because perhaps I don't have to choose between “this” or “that”, perhaps there are possibilities I haven't even considered or seen yet…..

Perhaps I don't need to leave something entirely, but my relationship to it changes…

Perhaps I don't need to work more, but differently…

Perhaps I don't need to fill my calendar to create abundance…

Perhaps I can create more space…

Perhaps I can travel and work…

Perhaps I can do less and still create more.

Perhaps I can step back without disappearing…

Perhaps I can allow someone else to step forward without it taking anything away from me…

Perhaps there is enough room for everyone… And this feels like a profound shift for me because underneath so many old patterns is the belief that there is something I might lose.

A perception that I might lose my place, lose someone's approval, lose a sense of belonging, lose an opportunity, lose significance or perhaps lose security….but what if I don't have to hold on so tightly anymore? What if I can trust that what is truly mine doesn't require me to abandon myself to keep it?

And perhaps this is what sovereignty actually feels like, where I am not controlling the outcome, not knowing exactly where I'm going, not having every detail worked out and being able to stand in the unknown and still trust myself…to say I don't know yet and let that simply be enough.

This feels connected to something else that has been coming through very strongly as well…..an awareness of movement from activation to embodiment, from receiving the codes to living them and from seeking answers to becoming intimate with our own knowing. And perhaps now inviting in from knowing what is true, to allowing that truth to shape the life we live from a quiet place of resonance.

So perhaps, if you're standing at your own threshold right now, you don't need to have all the answers either. Maybe there are things you're questioning and perhaps the invitation isn't to immediately make a decision. Perhaps it is simply to become curious…..

What would I choose if I wasn't afraid of missing out?

What would I choose if I didn't need to be needed?

What would I choose if nobody had to approve?

What would I choose if I trusted there was enough?

And then listen….not for the loudest answer….but for the quiet knowing underneath it all. Because perhaps the next chapter isn't asking you to become someone new. Perhaps it is asking you to become free enough to let the person you already are choose the life you actually want.

And maybe that is the threshold, not yet knowing exactly where you're going, but becoming willing to discover what is possible when you stop living from what you think you have to be.

Remember - You Are The Key!

And perhaps the key now is not simply knowing what is within you. It is trusting yourself enough to let it lead.🤍✨

With an abundance of love and gratitude,
