I don’t make any money from Medium, or YouTube, and taking clients is the only way I’m currently bringing in cash. (working on expanding that… stay tuned). If you like what you read or listen to for free on YouTube, sending a little note my way would really mean a lot. I also love your comments!! So leave those too! ❤

Well, it’s certainly been a fire season, hasn’t it. With the Lion’s Gate portal bringing a rush of energy, the heat of the season purging us into a space of transformation and change, and the Maui Wildfires bringing a new depth to the heartbreaking and heart opening process we are being asked to start to change as a global community…. it’s been a lot.

Maui as a Heart Chakra zone

There are many places in the world that resonate with a deep, specific power that ignites something within us. Mount Shasta, in California, is described as a root chakra hotspot in the world. Uluru, in Australia, the Solar Plexus; The pyramids of Giza, in Egypt, the throat chakra. Maui, in particular, has also been described as a place the resonates as one of the Heart Chakra places in the world.

With Maui experiencing crippling land, habitat and home loss, we’re being asked to listen to what the earth is telling us. The heart of the world is on fire. the heart of the world is suffering.

So what does that mean for us?

On the Scale of Daily Life

Of course, this is a shock to many. But intense phenomenons have been increasing over the past few years globally. The fire in the heart chakra is one of many other disasters that have affected the land, people and animals worldwide.

So what do we do?

Yes, of course, donations are great. you can donate to help with the Maui Relief here. Awareness is great. Prayer is great, and acknowledgement, and reverence for what we have.

But what we’re being asked to do in response to loss like this is to rise to the occasion that is being presented to us. While things feel heavy and purging, we’re being asked to lean into raising the collective frequency of the planet.

(which I’m confident we will, because I don’t believe in giving up). The power you have to contribute to this change, then, comes right back to who you are in this moment.

Let me explain.

Individual & Collective Frequency

Every individual has a frequency they emit. (Starseeds, you’ll understand this more deeply — as you have more practice noticing how much your frequency impacts others at any given time — either positively or negatively!). When we’re living in our power, i.e., in alignment with what we want to be doing in combination with what life has in store for us (working in co-creation with the flow of the universe), we are actively raising our vibration.

When we work on ourselves, make a difficult decision that benefits us holistically and in the long run, choose to respond to our own needs instead of projecting our energy outside to bend to the needs of others, we’re actively raising our frequency.

When we choose to live in a way that is in harmony with our core values, our true desires, and our basic needs, we’re raising our frequency.

How this connects to the bigger picture on the planet is as follows:

The frequency in the planet needs to be raised to a place where there is space for the subtle but deep shifts in awareness required to change our societal structures. Sure, we can achieve these changes by them becoming necessary after extensive habitat loss and destruction, but I feel like it’s safe to say that most of us would prefer a gentler, softer approach to change!

In order to enact change, we need to be in deeper harmony with ourselves and as a larger collective. Think of the planet as a giant bicycle, and your own individual life as one of the gears. If we’re trying to get the bicycle up the hill, but we’ve got one (or many) gears out of whack, it’s going to be a janky, tiring, troublesome journey to our destination.

The more we align with our own path and purpose, the closer we will get to being in greater alignment as a collective. This is where we open the space for deep and greater change.

But How?

I know, I know, I just dropped the “you need to be following your life’s purpose in order to safe the world” talk. Ahhhh!!

I promise though, it’s actually much simpler than that.

Let me ask you this: If things dropped away at this moment — social media, your nagging parents, the people you feel you’re supposed to be “keeping up with,” would you be happy with what you’re doing? Do you truly enjoy your life? Are you maybe working a job you don’t love, but you have a hobby that keeps you happy and rolling? Do you have a practice (any practice) that allows you to feel more deeply connected to nature and life’s greater cycles?

In order for the planet to be aligned, you too have to become aligned. It is becoming essential that you begin to live a life that feels worth living, connected, and truly authentic to you. When you’re in greater alignment with your own rhythm, you are contributing to the greater alignment of the planet.
