We are moving into a space which is calling us to transcend and transform.

This is the result of an internal pressure from the soul, one that is felt throughout the collective as we go through this unusual period of pausing, retreating and (hopefully) reexamining ourselves together.

This is fundamental and radical - though quiet - inner change, with an extra twinkle in the eye of the universe. Consciousness is watching as we unfold ourselves into a greater and brighter patterning… as we emerge from our sense of smallness to a newer version of our divine spiritual blueprint.

We are moving into what has previously been unknowable about ourselves - into what has before been unimaginable, and therefore unthinkable.

Transformation is one of my favourite things. The idea of it freaks a lot of people out because it is deep inner change, it can be hard work, and it reminds people of death - because you have to let go of what was there before and surrender to the rebirthing of self.

Transformation looks like fear and smells like death, but this is only its disguise; an illusion. It is the world-weary winter traveller arriving in a warmer land, where the signs of Spring are all around. The birds sing. It is a new dawn, a new beginning and a paradise for your soul.

As you transform your fears and restrictions, you discover greater inner peace. Your personal peace sends ripples we are unable to fathom into the fabric of life, society, humanity.

You might ask: who are you to send a wave into the world? Well, who are you not to? The world needs each of us to be present and creative - gifting the world with the art, thinking and medicine that we hold.

Transformation is always worth it - for renewal, fulfillment, self-knowledge… and for the ripple effect beyond what you can currently conceive…

Cheryl Hopkins (of astrologyempowers.com) spoke this week about what it means to lift oneself up - to transcend. She said: “When I lift myself up I am not just healing me, but I am also healing my life, my legacy, my people, my culture, my world”.

I love this way of describing transcendence.

The transcendence of our fears, previous limitations and restrictive perceptions is a wonderful step for us personally, but it also ripples out into the wider world. How far can we say that our personal ripples of transcendence will travel?

We can’t even begin to imagine. They could end up on somebody’s beach thousands of miles away; they could be heard beating in a stranger’s heart you haven’t yet met.

How can we know the reach and impact? We don’t - but just stepping out of individual thinking into collective thinking shows us that our own struggles and our own transcendence are absolutely worth it.

Do it for you, do it for a person you may never meet, do it for your descendants, or the descendants of strangers. In this time, we are beginning to realise that there is really no such thing as a stranger - we are all connected and therefore our actions affect the whole.

It’s time to transcend your deepest fear and transform your beliefs that have been based upon this untruth/fear and distorted perception of what was possible.

Transcend and transform, friends. Lift yourself - and the world.
