Weekly Energy Reading: A Wave Of Awakening Is Here — But Not Without Some Challenges

This week, I'm sensing that a lot of us will discover the ways we are keeping ourselves small. This realization could feel like a cold slap in the face—but we'll get through the other side much better off.

There seems to be a feeling of, "I always suspected I was ready to take on the challenge, and now I know it," for example. It's very Aries and even a little Leo in that way. Leos love to enjoy the spotlight, and this week, you may be thinking, "Can everyone else see these gifts I'm finally seeing? They look great on me!"

You may also notice yourself getting intuitive hits about the next steps in your life that may surprise you. The amazing thing about expanding into more of who we are is that we start to trust ourselves and the flow of the world.

However, it does feel like things start to get foggy again later in the week. Like the forecast of the last few weeks, the energy of the next seven days won't just have one theme. It will be awakening and confusion, rinse and repeat. 

Sometimes we resort to old habits like self-judgment when we expand and start to really let ourselves be ourselves. Depending on how you were raised, you may unconsciously equate being seen with being judged. And when you let yourself be seen (even if it's just by yourself, which is completely enough), those old habits may come back to rear their judgmental heads. But it's only your psyche's way of attempting to keep you safe. And by psyche, I mean your inner child, who's still living in the time when that was an effective way of keeping you safe.

Part of the theme this week is to notice where you use judgment in your life. Where is judgment actually healthy discernment, and when are you kicking a lady when she's down? Or up, in this case.

Ironically, it will be helpful to not judge yourself for judging but rather to get curious. As I teach in my class on inner child healing, you can treat this judgmental part of yourself like a friend who's just a little confused. Try to have some compassion for it—after all, it really is trying to protect you.

You'll want to have a few basic energy healing tools on deck this week. Here's one to try:

Imagine your aura (the encasement around your body that holds your energy) and feel into its boundaries. Have the intention to close up any holes that may be in it, and make sure to check the top and bottom.
