  1. Transit Meditation: Abundance

    FEB 18

    Transit Meditation: Abundance

    Wednesday February 18th to Monday the 23rd, our sun transits Gate 55 in the Human Design astrological mandala. This gift moves us from Victimization to Freedom. This is a new collective Freedom coming from individual awakening. This Gate is at the center of the Gene Keys teachings. It represents a huge collective shift and new phase for humanity. Fear of lack and emptiness becomes trust in life, and a deeper Freedom. Victim consciousness may be the most defining characteristic of our time. Being aware of our true power as co-creators of this world will be a giant shift that we are already seeing the early stages of. Life is a gift. Experience is a gift. This moment is a gift. We experience the abundant nature of life and meet this world as co-creators, or we experience the illusion of separation from life and victim consciousness. Victim consciousness is an attitude towards life where our power and agency are placed outside of us. We complain and blame instead of taking responsibility for our own power. When we take responsibility for our lives, for our suffering, our shadows, our blame, we begin to dissolve the bars of our prison cell. We see the patterns and levels of awareness. We see our attitude and honor the gift from Source that has given us a co-creative role in this world, starting with our attitude towards it. We experience emotions and become aware of them. We experience emotions as shared energy and waves passing through us. We see the whole field is based on this experience, awareness, and understanding of vibrations. Like the net of Indra, we see all the jewels reflecting in our jewel in the net human experience and awareness on earth. This individual awakening is, in this way, “tied” to our collective awakening. We move from “I” to “We” and back to “I” again, but now as one humanity. We let go and trust in life. We feel the freedom of this truth that we are Free. We cannot control anything in this world, but maybe one thing: our attitude to it. This knowing is a very powerful freedom. It is a receiving of all that is here for us and receiving our part in that. In these days of Freedom, let us awaken to our own victim consciousness, be creators of this world responsible only for ourselves, contributing to the great collective shift on the planet, as we find abundance each in our own heart. The greatest Freedom is being free from the illusion we are separate from life. “As our consciousness begins to rise up on the pure awareness of our emotional system, we will finally see through the veil that has long held us captive. Once we are free from our minds in this way, we can truly create great poetry of our lives. We are entering into an era of great beauty – it will be a transcendent era in which creativity will rule and life itself will be experienced as art.” Richard Rudd Listen for meditations and more to presence this gift in these Days of Receiving.

  2. Transit Meditation: Desire, Shakti & Bhakti

    FEB 13

    Transit Meditation: Desire, Shakti & Bhakti

    Friday the 13th through Wednesday the 18th we are in the Days of Feelings & Desires. Desires are endless. Fulfilling them never brings lasting peace. Our desire is meant to move us into evolution, but it also forms the basis of our longing for Divine Union. This comes by feeling our feelings. Feelings come in waves. We are not driven by them when we let them pass through us without reaction. We learn to mindfully pause when feelings arise so we can feel them fully, and relate to them clearly. We experience impermanence and gain Lightness through this work of feeling deeply. We see energy come and go and begin to take deeper pleasure in being alive. Feeling intensely is the basis of our human experience. In this gift of Lightness we can experience our bhakti & shakti together as Rapture. Listen for meditations and more. This is a public episode.

  3. Transit Meditation: Revolution

    FEB 7

    Transit Meditation: Revolution

    Saturday through Thursday Feb 7-12 Our sun transits gate 49: Revolution. “Unhappiness is the first sign that something powerful stirs within you.” There is a powerful motivation to protect humanity, protecting humans, protecting the vulnerable, standing up for human beings and living your principles. Is our revolutionary spirit just another reaction, or a positive change? The greatest revolution is our collective rebirth of all that we truly are. Our nature to love, serve, and remember that source is in all things. We are here to heal, feed, and serve the health and fullness of each life. Ignorant, rebellious or intolerant, aka Reactive lately? This is coming from our fear of rejection, and fear of nature. As you open up to your transformation, you can make your debut into new authenticity, living from your values. But you must open yourself to this deep and powerful rebirth. Sit and feel, patiently. Clarity will come. We build from there. Listen for meditations and more. This is a public episode.

  4. Transit Meditation: Listening

    FEB 3

    Transit Meditation: Listening

    This week our sun transits Gate 13: Listening. In these days of Listening. Listening is not hearing. Listening is absorbing the sound. It is listening to the whole story, the experience, the experiencer, the past, the whole problem, beyond any raw desire to accomplish a goal, It is Deep Listening. Deep Listening is actually Empathy. Empathy is to be within the other. This is growing and evolving collective awareness beyond individual experience, beyond the illusion of separation. It is the sensitivity of awareness itself experiencing itself. May we listen to our feelings with that universal self-witnessing. May we hear the story of history being played out in the collective, as simply the illusion of separation failing us. May we experience the natural optimism inherent in our awareness, our active listening, watching our desire and courage become compassion and release. May we join again each other in our listening, and experience the spaciousness and aliveness of god’s love for all in all. Echo of Your HeartJames Forshaw, my father’s only brother, wrote the lyrics to this song, Echo of Your Heart. It is about listening your heart by feeling how something feels. We are all echoes…everything you see and feel is an echo. I can’t find them published anywhere. Below is a link to the song and some text they put with it. You do not need an account to listen on soundcloud (just close that window if it pops up by clicking the “X” in the upper right corner). “Listen to your heart and it will always keep you on the right track. It connects to part of the universe and the source of love that our conscious mind mostly doesn’t.Home, Life, Love...Listen to your heart’s echo ❤️” This is a public episode.

  5. Transit Meditation: Sensitivity

    JAN 27

    Transit Meditation: Sensitivity

    This week Tuesday-Sunday (Jan27-Feb1) our sun transits Gate 19: Approach, Codependency, Sensitivity and Sacrifice. Where is our healthy Sacrifice? What is unhealthy Sacrifice? We naturally want to serve, serve community and individuals. We thrive when others thrive. But we can forget or misunderstand our own needs, not giving time or space for our needs, not growing in those spaces. This makes us susceptible to overwhelm in the energy waves of others. We are going to talk about sensitivity, codependency and what healthy sacrifice is ultimately about. We are experiencing agency here. And we are learning to share agency. Not only in teams, but as Synarchy, sharing our organizing authority. And not only Synarchy, but the personal initiation that elevates us to out of the collective shadow of Hierarchy. Sensitivity is all about energy and the sensitivity to others’ energy, as well as our more tribal responsibilities. The fear of being alone is here. We carry emotional experiences and eating habits related to this Sensitivity. Emotional Independence is the foundation. . To quote Richard Rudd in his book, Gene Keys; “When your heart and being open to sense the abundance of this energy throughout nature, you become for the first time emotionally independent.” Listen for meditations and more.

  6. Transit Meditation: Emanation

    JAN 22

    Transit Meditation: Emanation

    From Thursday to Monday Jan 22-26, our sun transits Gate 41: Emanation, Fantasy, Anticipation. These can be our days of Emanation, being in the Anticipation of the unfolding of our dreams. In this gate we can live in Fantasy, or we can embrace our manifestation – the energy to honor our hopes and dreams, watching them evolve by fulfilling them. “Means gather around Sattva” is good news. We don’t have to worry or fear, escaping into illusions of happiness. We are here to embody Divine Will. We simply have to live in our gifts, steady and true. Listen for meditations and more.

  7. Transit Meditation: Containment Magic

    JAN 16

    Transit Meditation: Containment Magic

    Friday through Wednesday Jan 16-21, our sun transits Gate 60: Regulation, Realism, and Limitation. Your Realism is magical. Seeing things as they are is to see magic. Creation structures freedom, because structuring serves energy. These days of Containment, of Embodied Magic, show you the power of your boundaries, the freedom created by structure, and the magic that comes when we make room for it. We can deeply respect the darkness between things, words, notes, and actions as the much needed space for magic to enter. As Richard Rudd writes, “The only thing needed for magic to occur is some form of a structure and an open mind!” Listen for creative techniques, meditations, and more. This is a public episode.

  8. Intimacy With What Is – Erin Reese

    JAN 12

    Intimacy With What Is – Erin Reese

    In this episode of Upon Awakening, I talk with Erin Reese – astrologer, psychologist, and writer. Listeners will recognizer her name, as I have been quoting her for some time, regularly tuning into her astrology forecasts. I am honored to present our conversation here, where I ask her to read for us and share her wisdom around Love as Intimacy with What Is. She describes Love as “not a feeling, or a state”, but total acceptance and the Ground of Being itself. Our conversation touches on this Love, the end of suffering, joyful living, and “soul-exhaustion”, as we dive into the heart of her advaita teachings. Her depth and manner of speaking always provoke my awareness and tap into my heart. This episode is divinely timed also, perfectly aligned with the days of Inner Truth & Mystery as our Sun transits Gate 61 this week. Erin writes about collective consciousness, archetypal astrology, inner and outer travels, and nonduality. Explore Erin’s substack and subscribe at Truth & Consciousness Listen to Erin’s talk, Starting the New Year with Nothing mentioned in our conversation here. Find her book Truth Seeker and more here.
