Happy Monday, everybody. I'm gonna be so upfront with you. Um, I'm not an astrologist, but I'm fully gonna be blaming the astrological weather. Like, is any this eclipse, it's intense, right? Like, are other people feeling like uh like stretched? Not in a bad way. Like, I actually am really excited um for how expansive this feels, but I feel pretty exhausted with how stretched I feel like I'm being, how stretched I feel like I'm being. I don't even know if that makes sense. Um my sleep's been whack. My energy's been just fluctuating and really what I perceive as random patterns. Probably sounds like I'm complaining. I'm really not. I'm really not. I really I fuck with this eclipse. I really do. I really do. I've gotten some like really clear, intuitive downloads regarding the direction of my life. Now, granted, okay, you know what? Side note. Um, I was reminded this morning that like that's what the eclipse is for. Um like the eclipse, in a lot of ways, again, not an astrologist, but from what I understand or what was brought to my attention today, um, which kind of confirms something that happened for me yesterday. It's like the eclipse, this is a season of like receiving the vision. Okay, so you might have really strong intuitions towards some bigger vision, a direction you're being called to go, something you're being called to create, somewhere you're feeling like you need to be. And you may have really clear, like, I know that. Like that is so clear to me. Like, I've received a puzzle piece. Now, receiving that puzzle piece may come with like a thousand question marks associated with it, because what the eclipse does not always necessarily come with, and where your mind is probably gonna try to fill in the gaps is like, okay, well, like how is that gonna happen? When is that gonna happen? Like, like, what's the deeper what and why behind why I'm getting that intuitive clarity? Um, and those things might stay question marks for the duration of the eclipse. And it's kind of meant for you to just again, just allow the eclipse to do its thing, allow it to unfold, but but the the intuition, the clarity, that's what the eclipse is for. So if you feel like you're having epiphanies, but there's all these like, how would that even happen? How would that even work? Trust it. Okay, that's the eclipse doing its job. Anyway, back to what I was originally saying. I'm tired, like I am drained, and I'm not complaining about that. It's just I'm saying that it's just the objective truth. And so how I feel rolling into this podcast today is like when the teacher walks into the classroom and she's wheeling in the movie, or she's wheeling in the TV cart, and it's just like today, we're just gonna watch a movie. That's how I feel. That's how I feel. I feel like there was a couple of things I thought maybe I'll talk about, but I just am like, I really do not have the energy to like go there right now. So instead, I'm gonna be sharing this. Oh, okay. This is a message that this is a message I channeled probably like a week ago. And I have tried two separate times to record this um to post on Instagram. And both times I just like lost steam. Like, literally, like I was just sitting there looking at the camera, and like the words just like did not want to come out of my mouth. And I was like, okay, not gonna force it. I guess not. And then after my walk today, I was in the shower, like, what am I like, what am I gonna talk about? And this channeled message kept coming up, and I was like, really? I was kind of brushing it off because I was like, no, like I'll just record that for Instagram, I'll just record that for Instagram, but no, like it's that's gonna be a podcast. Um it really okay. I, if you're like sensing hesitation, it is such a to me, like I in my human brain, I am perceiving it as such a specific message. Like, A, when I received it, I was like, whoa, that's so cool. But then B, when I was feeling into it and I was like, wait, this is like this is a shareable message, like this is meant to be shared on some sort of collective level. I was like, what? Like it's so, it feels like it's just so incredibly specific. So that's kind of taking me out a little bit, but you know, I am just the messenger. So I am happy to deliver this message. I'm so, not that it's any of my business, but I am so curious how this is going to apply to various people's lives. And so if this unfolds for you, or I should say, like when it does, um, I would really, if you're open to sharing, I would really love to hear for some of you how this ends up unfolding or relating itself to your life story. Okay. So, you know, sometimes when I'm channeling a collective message, I will download a metaphor that that is then used to, you know, reflect the the deeper lesson or whatever, the deeper message behind the situation. Then there are other times where I will just be casually living my life and something will occur. And then, like, however long in hindsight, life will be like, hey, by the way, like that was that was the metaphor. And so this is one of those situations, and um yeah, I guess story time. So the other week, this song came into my head and I was like, oh my gosh, I love that song. I haven't heard that song in so long. And then I sat there and I was thinking about it, and I was like, no, wait, like I really like, I, if I'm honest, like I forgot that this song existed and I really like it, but I just like it totally fell off the face of the earth for me. Um, because I was thinking about like even like any time in recent history when I've even shuffled my phone, I was like, I can't even think of a time where I've like gone to skip over this song. Like I really just I forgot that it existed. And so I part of me was wondering, okay, back in December, I switched my entire music library from Spotify over to Koba's. And I love Koba's, but it does not have the same music library accesses that Spotify has. Total aside, but I personally think that's a sacrifice and a price we should all be willing to pay. That's not what this is about, so I digress, but just saying. Um, but anyway, when I was thinking about like, no, I I really haven't seen of or heard of this song in a long time. Part of me is wondering, like, maybe it's just one of those songs that doesn't exist in COBAs. And that's why. So anyway, I go into my music app, I type in the song title, it's not coming up. Now, granted, sometimes when you go into COBAs and you search something word for word for some reason, it's still, there's like a hundred other search results that'll come up before the actual thing you typed in, whatever. Um, so before I totally count it out, I also searched the artist and then went into their top songs and you know, most popular albums, whatever, and still just wasn't seeing it, like the song wasn't there. Uh, to which I was like, okay, no problem, no harm, no foul. I moved on with my life. The next day, I'm going about my day. I'm actually doing my hair that day. And before I go into the blow-drying, straightening portion of my routine, which takes a long time, I a different, a totally different song came into my head. And I was like, ooh, love that song. I like, I really want to listen to that song. And so as I'm realizing that, and I know I'm about to go do my hair for a long time, I'm like, okay, great. Like, I guess I will listen to music today while I'm doing my hair. So I make that decision. And then it's it's interesting what I do next. And like, we'll put a pin in this because it's relevant in the bigger context of the message. At this point, I have a very specific song that I'm wanting to listen to. It's in my head. I'm feeling like, ooh, I have a hankering for that song. I really want to listen to that song. So at this point, it's like, what step would make the most sense to take next? Going into my music library and either like cueing up this song or finding it in my music library and just pressing play on it. But did I do either of those two things? No, I did not. Instead, I went into my music library and I decided to just simply press shuffle on my entire library of songs. And when I did that, do you know what song played first? Yeah. The song from the day before, the song that when I literally went out of my way to try and find it and try to play it, did not play was the song that played first when I shuffled my entire music library. Okay. At that point, I was just like, oh my God, whoa, that is so weird. And it was like, guys, it was so weird. Now, granted, and this I think is key dimension too, not necessarily for this message, but just in life. I know you guys are not shy to signs and synchronicities, okay? I know that those are not incredibly rare in your life. Are they cool and weird and fascinating every time they happen? Probably. Like, I know I don't get tired of them. Um, but it's like, be that as it may, you know, not every time synchronicity occurs is it meant to be read into. Or I guess what I'll say is like it doesn't always have a message attached to it. Sometimes weird shit just happens just because the life is reminding you that, like, yeah, we live in a world where weird shit happens and can happen at any time, anywhere. And a lot of times it's just like that is the message more than anything else. It's just life reminding you to like wake up, stay sharp, be on your toes, anything can happen. So, anyway, for the rest of that day, like there was no download, there was no breakthrough. I literally was just like, that was so weird. And like, how cool is that? I went about my day, I did my hair, the end. But not the end, because when I woke up the next morning and I was doing my journal, um, the memory of this situation kept like tapping me on the forehead. And I kept just I remember just thinking, like, yeah, like that was so weird. Like, yeah, that was so cool, that was so weird, but it kept coming up and it was like, okay, what? Like, why do you keep why does this keep coming up for me? And when I actually gave it the time of day, and I sat there and I thought about it, like this whole message download came through. And it's really cool. Okay, here we go. Here's the message. Pause. Okay, I'm actually I'm adding this in in hindsight. There's something I need to say. This is such a spoiler alert of a message, and I just want to make it clear. This really, this message really is a spoiler alert. It's okay to receive the spoiler alert, but I just want to fully let you know, like, if you like surprises and would hate to know the ending of the movie before the end of the movie, like you do not have to receive this. And also, if like if this message is for you and you choose not to listen to the message, it's not gonna inhibit from you from life playing out in this way. Okay, so just I'm putting that in there. This is such a spoiler alert. It's also fuel to feed your delusions, and it's also, I don't know, are there any other caveats I want to give before we go on with the story? I guess not. Um, but yeah, just wanted to throw that in there. Proceed with caution, spoiler alerts ahead. Um, okay. Roll the clip. Once upon a time in your life, you were inspired to go for something. Like to really go after something. And this was a purely intended desire. This was a heartfelt desire. This was something you could really envision yourself having or experiencing, participating in, being a part of, whatever fits your situation. And you went for it. It was a heartfelt desire, and you went for it. And for whatever reason, it didn't work out. Despite you doing everything that you could within your control, this thing did not pan out for you at the time. And whatever, life said no. Despite any grief and disappointment and heartache in that situation, at the end of the day, you were able to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and move on with your life. Somewhere down the road of having moved on with your life, a totally new inspiration rose to the surface within you. It had that same essence of like pure, genuine, heartfelt desire. And you're going for that now. We'll call this plan B. Not because you perceive it as a plan B, right? Like not because you're like, oh, that thing didn't work out, so I guess I'll go for this, but like just for the sake of labels, the first thing that inspired you is plan A, and then this thing is plan B. And you are in the process of pursuing plan B right now. It's happening, it's unfolding. And this is kind of the first check-in of confirming if this message is for you. Because as you are in the process of pursuing whatever this is that has uh more recently inspired you, consider whether the way you are going about this thing, it's like you'll know this message is for you if there is something about the way you are being intuitively guided to go after this thing that is a little bit more indirect in comparison to how someone might typically go about pursuing whatever it is you're pursuing. And there's a reason for that. And the message that is coming through with the situation is that it's because it was never about plan B. Now, before you get like concerned or offended or anything like that, it's not that your intentions for plan B were like misinformed or impure or in any way like I don't know, egoic or wrong or whatever. That's not what I'm insinuating at all. Plan B approached you, inspired you, tapped on your shoulder, resonated with you deeply and truly from that heart-centered place. Because as far as you know, from what you could tell, it like that's what it is. It is a genuine heartfelt desire. And it had to approach you in that way too, because it's like if it wasn't approaching you with that energy, you wouldn't have pursued it. Right? Like you're not in the business of pursuing things just because you feel like you should, or doing things because it sounds good on paper, whatever. So, whatever it is you're going after, whatever it is you're creating, again, whatever fits your situation, it is absolute like the way you're going about it is absolutely born of a true, genuine desire and inspiration. No doubt about it. And again, that can be confirmed by the fact that the way you are going about doing this thing is you're following your intuition more than anything else. And your intuition might be guiding you to pursue this thing in a way that is atypical, that isn't like the normal direct route. Somebody who also might be pursuing something similar, or if not the exact same thing, would go about pursuing this thing. So, again, just re-emphasizing the fact that, like your desire, your intention is pure, full stop. That being said, from like your your intuition, from your higher self perspective, however you want to look at it, the way it's been guiding you to go after this thing is not leaving you open to the reception of that thing only and in particular. There's something about the way you are going after this thing that is leaving you open to an infinite potential of anything happening in one of those infinite things that's going to happen, one of those infinite things that's going to come through the pipeline is option A. Okay, let me make this make sense. It was never about option B. If when I had the desire to listen to the second song, if it was truly, genuinely, purely about listening to that song, again, I would have just gone into my music library app and found the song and played it. But that's not what I did because that's not what I was guided to do. Instead, I went in there and I pressed shuffle, right? I opened myself to the, I mean, it's not an infinite potential, but like the thousands of potential of songs that could have played first. Any song could have played first. And if it was truly about me wanting to listen to that song at the end of the day in the in the truest, deepest core of my heart, if it was about song B, I would have just played song B, but again, I didn't because unbeknownst to me, subconsciously, whatever, it was never about song B alone. Whatever this plan B is for you, in a lot of ways, it is a it is a conduit, it is an opportunity, getting you in the right place, right energy, right headspace, right emotional capacity, right everything to open yourself up to receive option A that you didn't even know was still on the table, that you didn't even know was still possible. Which brings us to the next point about this message. Okay. Some of you might be sitting there thinking, like, well, then why go through all this trouble? Of you know, putting song B on my heart. Like if I was, if it was always about receiving option A, like why did option A just not tap on my shoulder again? Like, why was I not just reinspired to go after option A? And the reason is because you would have written it off. It would have been the same way as like me having the desire to listen to song A again. If that song would have came to my head again and I wanted to listen to it, I would I would have been like, oh yeah, like I like that song, that's nice, but like not possible. And then I would have just moved on, right? Like I wouldn't have then gone into my music library and tried to play the song because I didn't know it was possible. I was under the impression that that wasn't an option for me. So it had to be a different song. Otherwise, who knows if I would have even put myself in the position to listen to music that day. Okay. I don't, every time I do my hair, sometimes I watch a show, sometimes I just sit in silence. So it's like it had to be a different song so that I would go into my music library and press shuffle. And there is something about option B, again, getting you in that energy to be able to even open up to and receive option A that you didn't know was possible. And if option A would have come knocking on your door again, if it if the inspiration to go after it would have approached you again, again, you would have just written it off. You would not have even tried again. You would have been like, I already tried that, it's not for me, and you would have just continued down the process of moving on with your life. Okay. And then I don't want to say lastly, but then next is like, well, why now? Like, why now? Like, why after all the like me putting in all that effort and getting told no and having to go through the process of detaching from wanting that thing, accepting that it wasn't for me, going through the disappointment, going through the grief. Like, why now is it knocking on my door again? Like, or like, why now is it is it gonna fall into my lap in this way? And this part of the message is like that was part of it. Okay, when you originally wanted option A, it was on a little bit of a pedestal for you. Or there was something about the way you were wanting it, there was something about the way you were going after it, that maybe there was this energy of desperation that was going along with it, or seeing it as like this opportunity will prove that you are something that you don't feel like you already are, or will serve like as a as evidence of your enoughness in a way that isn't already true about yourself. And so you being able to again have a genuine heartfelt desire to go after something, to go after it, again, doing everything that was within your control to have it, being told no, and being able to like detach from the situation, feel your feelings, and move on with your life is part of it. You being able to be re-inspired again by something totally different and not feel jaded in the whole like, well, I was inspired by something before and it didn't work out. So now this new thing's inspiring me, but like I know better than to get my hopes up, so I'm not gonna go out. Like, no. The fact that when a new, genuine, heartfelt inspiration rose to the surface, you pursued it and went after it and again gave life a shot, all of that was part of it. All of that was part of it. All of that created this energetic momentum, putting you in the right space, the right energy, the right mentality, the right everything for this thing to now unfold for you. For this thing, this opportunity, this experience, this whatever to happen for you. And you did not even know it was still possible. But again, your ability to your ability to have been able to control what you were able to control, accept rejection, detach from the outcome, move on with your life. It was all a part of it. It was all a part of it. And it's like this time, as you're on the receiving end of this thing, you can do so from a place of knowing that it's not on a pedestal, that it's not bigger than you. Your ability to receive it doesn't actually mean anything about you. And so it's like you can you can receive it from that energy, and you can hold it from the energy of I already am enough. I already knew I was enough. Okay, and the other thing about this though, this isn't like this isn't like a faded set in stone kind of thing. Okay, right, like just because that song I shuffled my phone and that song played first, if I was over it, like if I didn't want to listen to that song anymore, I could have next it, right? I could have skipped it. I didn't just because it started playing, I wasn't like locked in and I had to listen to it. And the same thing is true. Like, if you are over option A, all you're receiving is is the opportunity for it to fall into your lap and you to say yes to it. Without you having to lift a finger or go out of your way to make it happen. But if you're truly and like firmly over it, you don't, right? Like you're not locked into it. You don't have to say yes to it. If you, if option B is what you want, you can go for that. But also remember, you've opened yourself up to the infinite potential of anything happening. So even if you're like you don't want option B anymore, you are in you're in this space energy field of anything can happen. Anything can happen. It's just that in that being true, one of the first things that is gonna happen for you and be available for you to take advantage of if you want to, is this old plan A option A that again you'd written off and just did not even think was still possible for you. How fucking cool is this message? And wait because it gets better. So part of me was like, okay, if plan A equates to the first song and plan B and song B, you know, what is the equivalent of having pressed shuffle on the phone? And I don't necessarily know the answer to that. What I do know is though, it's already been done. It's already been done. There's something you already did, something you already set in motion, something you already would, I don't know, but it like shuffle has been pressed. Meaning, all that is left to do is to just allow this to unfold, allow this to play out how it's going to, literally just allowing the pieces to fall as they may. Which honestly, I know for some of you may be even harder to hear because you might feel like, well, no, at this point you're good at detachment. You're good at just allowing things to unfold and not feeling the need to control. So that's all this is. This is a massive spoiler alert of a message. I am fully, completely aware of that. I really should have put a spoiler alert. Maybe I'll put that in the show notes. Um but the reason there's even incentive for me to do this is so that when this thing happens, you guys aren't questioning, like, well, why is this happening? Is this a trick? Is this a whatever? Like now you know exactly why. You know, the energetics behind it, you know, the role that you played and what it is that you did that allowed for this to unfold the way it's unfolding. And so, you know, if it's that this is too good to be true, this feels whatever, it's like now you know. Now you know. What else do I want to say about this before we log off? No, wait, I really had something to say. Hold on. Um, oh, okay. Confirmations that this message is for you. No, you don't need any more confirmation other than your own inner knowing. And however this message is resonating with you is proof enough. Uh but I obviously want to let you guys know what the songs are, just in case, you know, A, if anyone wants or needs extra confirmation, and then B, if these songs find you in the next however long, I just think for you that's your own fun little confirmation if you want to play that game. So anyway, the first song, not me blanking on the name. Funny the way it is. The first song, funny the way it is by Dave Matthews Band. And you know what's so criminal? How easily it comes up now when I search it in my app. It's like whatever. Um, but yeah, funny the way it is, Dave Matthews Band. And then the other song is Mad by Renee Rapp. So if either of those songs come for you in the next however long, again, you can just let that be bonus confirmation. And then I also wanted to say so um, it can be really exciting to get messages like this and to have them resonate so deeply. It can also raise your doubt and skepticism. And I'll actually be honest, I was really hesitant to even want to share this because of how I don't know, I still something I'm working on. Sometimes it can be really, I hesitate to share good news because I'm like, I don't, you know, it's my own thing to work through. The point is though, because I was feeling that way, um, one of the things that was coming through is like for the people this is for, if hearing this starts to okay, if hearing this, you become excited in a way where you feel like it maybe is like dredging up wanting or attachment, or conversely, if it's like um hearing this dredges up disbelief and doubt, and like, well, I'll only believe it when I'll see it. On one hand, there's no amount of attachment or wanting you could feel towards this thing happening, and then on the other hand, there's no amount of disbelief or doubt you could feel towards this thing happening that will keep this thing from happening. It's already energy in motion, it's already a matter of unfoldment. Um, again, you can totally, if this thing happens, say no, thank you. I'm good with the direction I'm going, and I'm over that, absolutely. Um, but as far as you receiving the invitation, now having heard and received the spoiler alert, no amount of wanting, no amount of attachment, no amount of disbelief or doubt that can stand in your way. Okay, I think that's all. Happy eclipse. I think the eclipse will still be going on next time we talk, so we'll see. Um, but again, truly, if this like play like when this plays out for you, I'm curious. And if you're open to sharing how this was a thing in your life, I would love to hear it. But okay, peace and love.
