November’s Energy Reading

November is here and we just ended a major eclipse season. It feels like there is a shift happening. There is a change in the air. You may be experiencing major breakthroughs on things you have been working on. Maybe you received that sign at work that you've been waiting for to make your next move. Or perhaps you finally confronted a fear around setting boundaries in a relationship. Maybe you are ready to finally end that toxic relationship or begin a new one. Whatever changes or epiphanies you are dealing with, it is important to let go of control and surrender to the process.

This month we are being encouraged to reflect. Go within and look at the goals you have met and the goals you haven't reached. What are the similarities and differences between them? Can you bring gratitude and happiness into your life surrounding what you have achieved? The goals you haven't reached or the things you have yet to manifest, do they still feel aligned?

Sometimes when we set goals, we get so caught up in the achievement of it that we never take time to reevaluate ourselves. As time goes by, you change and sometimes so does your direction; so, does your dreams. If things have not manifested for you, does that mean that maybe there are things that you need to revise? 

Who do you want to be? How do you envision yourself? Do the goals that you set for yourself still align with that version of you? If not, what changes need to be made? What fears do you need to overcome to start this new journey? If you aren't sure, this is the perfect time for more inner work and reflection. 

During this period of reflection, we also need to evaluate what we are resisting about our current reality and experience. It is wonderful to have aspirations and desires, but you must take time to appreciate where you are currently. If everything you ever wanted or dreamed of was always handed to you, if everything you ever wanted to manifest was immediately granted, how would that serve you? 

Within our struggles, planning, challenges and waiting we learn very important and valuable lessons. Mostly importantly, we learn about ourselves. We learn who we really are and what it is that we truly want in this life. I find that when my manifestations are not being fulfilled, it isn't always because I am blocked or doing something wrong, it is because I am not being honest with myself. I am not fully aligned with my truth and authenticity. However, majority of the time, we are not even aware of this. 

The other key to this is not accepting yourself and your reality for what it is in the present moment. If you want to manifest a new job so you are constantly resisting the current job that you have or lack of a job, it will be much harder for you to allow the new job into your life because you are resisting where you currently are. 

I know you might be saying, "Megan, of course I am resisting. I am not happy with where I am. I want to achieve this, or I want to gain that." Hear me out! Accepting your current state or your situation does not mean that you have to like it or even be happy about it. It simply means that you accept that it is what it is and there isn't anything to be done. There isn't anything you can do to change it so you must simply accept it and trust that everything will work out as it should.

We will use work as an example again. If you are unhappy at your job, that's okay. Admit it. Face it. Acknowledge how you feel. Then take a deep breath and reason with yourself. It is okay that you do not like your job. That you wish things were different. List off the things that make you unhappy or the things you wish could change. Get it all out and be honest. Once you have done that, ask yourself if there is anything that you can do about it. Is there anything you can do to change it? If so, begin doing those things. 

If you want a new job, what can you do? What do you have control over? 

You can apply for new jobs. 

You can create or revamp your resume. 

You can network. 

Now on the other hand, what do you not have control over?

You can't force someone to hire you or make you a reasonable offer. Since that is out of your control, you must let that part go. Do not resist where you are and just allow everything to work out on its own. The perfect job, the right situation will present itself when you can be present with your current situation. 

When we accept our life as it is currently, it allows us to be fully present with ourselves. Being fully present with the parts of us that we love and the parts of us that we don't. We can be present with the happenings of our life whether we want change or not. Presence is the key to acceptance and acceptance is the key to happiness. You do not have to love and enjoy every aspect or area of your life to be happy. Happiness is a perspective. It is a choice. 

Slowing down this month will be key to being more present with yourself. It will be crucial for allowing you to figure out who you are and what you really want in this next chapter. Do what feels good to you. Do out of desire and want not out of obligation. 

Surrender to what is. Let go of what isn't and trust that everything is perfect exactly how it is. 

Love & light,

Megan
