Energy Update: Journey Toward the Light

Welcome to this Akashic energy update for August. The records offer up themes from what this period might feel like for you personally, and also what you might witness in the collective. The Akashic records communicate in imagery that translates to multidimensional metaphors.

First, we look at the Akashic library for the energy of August. I see a deep hole in the ground, a tunnel that is a narrow hallway and dark. As I move through it, it widens and becomes more light. The walls have paintings on them which remind me of the art by the Wingmakers. The end of the tunnel widens and opens, coming up to a big room and opening above ground, with lots of light. This represents the trajectory of this month moving towards more light. The auditory message is "Enjoy the beauty as you walk toward the light."

Journey Toward the Light

The journey can express that of the Great Awakening. There is so much light already, and that is from you- the light you express by being. The light is your kindness and care for others and yourself. Light is creativity as you express your authentic self through all that you do and all that you are. You bring sacred into everyday life.

With that is a feeling of getting off the treadmill of life. Maybe you will change the vision of your work life toward your happiness. The beauty of being in service while doing what you love could be an intention to explore. Bring more of doing what you love into every day.

What are the themes this month? Creating beauty. Enjoying beauty, maybe that of nature. Feeling grace and being grateful. Taking moments to breathe. Cleansing, purification, and releasing. Self-reflection. Facing wounds within and healing them by feeling them.

Facing our Inner Emotional Healing

What does "facing wounds" look like? The image is of mercurochrome being put on a boo-boo (injury). In my childhood, my mother used this stinging solution on cuts and scrapes and it was called mercurochrome. The image shows one applying healing to the self as if putting the solution on the skin. Yet your wounds are emotional in nature, and the cure is "mercury" which is the communication planet. It is going retrograde on August 4th and is already in its shadow. A decode for the message shows the importance of communicating how we feel.
The retrograde period this month allows us to look back at ourselves and feel what is hurt. We can then go forward as we learn to communicate how we feel and what we need. All of it starts within, with a retrospective and reassessment of our emotional bodies.

What themes do you see for the collective? Once again, change and transformation are key. A potential exists for more floods, fires, relocation, and migration. On a positive note, there is a possibility of more people standing together with their communities, finding common ground, wishing for a better world, thus creating unification within diversity.

Light influxes continue to raise the vibration of humanity and bring the light quotient of individuals to unforeseen levels. The desire for more service to humanity may arise in the collective.

There is a huge potential for support for a love-based reality. It is as if you are now seeing the foundation peeking through like the excavation of a building underground. It could mean that the structures on top of the foundations are knocked over so that the foundation is visible. That image represents the old structures that no longer serve the highest good, and they are crumbling. The crumbling contributes to the chaos we have been experiencing. You are invited to imagine the new paradigm and what is possible.

This month, the foundations of the new paradigm become visible! In the past you may have felt them, the new world we are collectively creating. Yet this month, we may see them.

How can we best get through this month with grace and ease?

"Be in connection with Source." Slow down, provide self-care with acceptance of change. Have an open mind and open heart.

Bring in discernment which means that you notice the actions and behaviors of others beyond what they say. Notice the energy behind the words spoken not just the words. Intentions are one thing and follow-through is another. Integrity is important, making words and actions congruent. All of this is relevant to you, and how you see your family and friends, and public figures.

Because of Mercury going retrograde, be careful and clear in communication! You may need to recommunicate. You may need to ask somebody "Did you mean this? I heard this... " Be patient with others. Acknowledge misunderstanding and recommunicate to make it right. Text communication is a great way to create misunderstandings.

You may be looking at details and redoing things you already finished so expect revisions. You and others might be asking "How can things be improved? How do we improve systems? You are invited to take a retrospective look at the past to move forward. It is a great time to receive inner clarity.

Be willing to look at small details which make up the greater whole. Also, it is a good time for self-reflection. You may ask how you can improve interacting and communicating with others. Also, "how can you improve your quality of life?"

The Deeper Meanings of Clouds and Lightning

What is the final message? I see storm clouds and lightning for August's energy as a metaphor. Lightening in your life can mean that you get an epiphany that completely changes your outlook so that you let go in some way.

Lightning can be a shamanic reset to a new era, or a new chapter. I have heard of how indigenous shamans in Peru have called in lightning to strike a person who has gone through intensive training. This provides a complete reset of their operating system. The energy at this time is like this- bringing sudden initiations and the beginning of new life chapters.

Another meaning of lightning...could be a lightening of what is weighing you down. Are there things you are carrying that are not yours, or not necessary for you to be responsible for? Experiment with releasing possessions, habits, duties, and anything that weighs you down. Vision and create a new life for yourself. The lightning that comes, in a sudden flash, may be a gift. The gift is that you may feel lighter with whatever insight comes to you. See it as communication with Great Spirit.

Lightning illuminates what was hidden in the dark. This may be part of the self-reflection and shadow work. Illumination might be going on in the darkness of the collective- and now coming to light. Lightning offers a collective reset, a positive change, as a storm harnesses the power to clear things.

Recently, on July 26th, in the Mayan Dreamspell Calendar, we entered a new year with the tone or theme of Blue Rythmic Storm. The coming year clears away old energy and starts things fresh, and August has it, explained so beautifully below.

Gillian MacBeth-Louthan speaks of the Blue Rythmic Storm year we just entered. Her words speak to me about the energy we are in.

"...know that thunderous outbreaks and catharsis can be purifying; to wield your alchemical powers to be a lucid World-changer - a conscious catalyst for positive inner and outer change and renewal. The Rhythmic Tone of this Year advises: Assess the rhythms you live your life by. See how you can generate greater balance in your daily journey."

I wish you a deep transformation that takes you to a higher level, with grace and joy upon your journey. Prayers for the collective as we all traverse this passageway from darkness to light. May all beings be illuminated, free, and happy, enjoying the beauty of life in the new paradigm based on love.

From my heart to yours,
