Happy December!
It’s hard not to notice that energetically speaking, we’ve entered a remarkably vibrant, high-speed time. And it’s not just the usual activities and expectations of this season. Something deeper is shifting.
We’ve stepped into a phase of our human experience where change arrives quickly and often unexpectedly. It may feel scary or grand, expansive and, definitely, a little wild. Ready or not, we are being moved forward. And while you can resist this momentum, you can also choose to lean into it – and take the ride of your life on this powerful wave of change with curiosity, courage, and even excitement.
Coming Out of the “Spiritual Closet”
In the spirit of taking the ride of my life, one of the joys of this accelerating time has been allowing myself to step more openly into my spiritual nature; to finally coming out of the closet as a spiritual person. What do I mean by “spiritual”? Simply this, I now understand that I am much more than a flesh, blood and bones manifestation with a personality layered on top. I am also an ongoing expression of Source Energy, manifesting in physical form.
As the saying goes: “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”
I always appreciated that line, but recently, it’s been landing differently – deeper, and in a more personal way. It’s as if my Inner Being began whispering, “Hey there…now you’re getting it.”
Getting what? Over time I realized that as long as I was looking outside myself for validation, I was always going to be chasing something I could never quite reach. But the moment I started turning inward, toward the steadiness of my Inner Being, everything shifted.
Who knows? Maybe it comes with age. But one of the coolest things about turning 72 last month is realizing that I now care far less about what others think, and far more about how I feel…and that shift has been profoundly liberating.
Instead of searching for answers in other people’s opinions or trying to fit into old expectations, I began listening for that quiet steady guidance from within. And that guidance is never frantic, never judgmental, never hurried. It feels like warmth. It feels like clarity. It feels like coming home.
The more I tune in, the more obvious it becomes that I am not just this body and personality – I am, and always have been, an expression of Source Energy. My Inner Being is that part of me that never wavers, never doubts, never fears. It contains the highest, most compassionate view of who I am. And when I allow myself to line up with that, Life opens in the most surprising and beautiful ways.
I’m learning – slowly, gently, and (surprise) joyfully – to let my Inner Being lead the way. To trust its wisdom. To follow its nudge. And let that relationship be the foundation for how I move through the world.
As we transition from one year to the next, a powerful opportunity arises to consciously nourish that inner connection. Just as we tend to the physical body, we can feed the energetic body – with thoughts, practices and environments and moments of stillness that remind us of the deep well-being that is the dominant vibration of our Universe! Our Inner Being lives in that vibration all the time.
Important To Remember: Thoughts Precede Emotions
Every emotion we feel begins with a thought – sometimes so subtle we barely notice it. When we choose a slightly better feeling thought, even a small shift, we naturally come in closer alignment with the energy our Inner Being, who is already holding that space for us. That’s why what we watch, read, listen to, and who we spend time with makes such a difference. Everything we take in becomes part of the inner atmosphere we live in.
This moment in the year invites us to be more intentional; less about pushing or fixing, and more about nourishing what feels good and softening what doesn’t. Amplifying what uplifts us. Releasing what drains us. Creating space for our Inner Being’s quiet guidance to be felt more clearly.
Wishing you a peaceful, aligned, and deeply nourishing transition into the coming days.
Much love, Patty
