Many happy blessings to you as you complete another year in the roaring '20s.
Since before the 2020s began, I've had the concept of the Phoenix in my consciousness. Yes, we've seen it in Harry Potter. Or Jean Grey in X-Men.
The Phoenix was also in Maleficent 2: Mistress of Evil, a movie which I absolutely LOVE because it tugs on my soul so profoundly my physical body consciously heaves emotions in all directions. I have wanted to share about this movie when the time is right.
I saw this movie around Thanksgiving 2019. At that point, the covidian stage had been set but we didn't consciously know it yet. Already the movie depicted our now reality in a way that viscerally affected me. The illusions at play. The impending war due to the human wants for power.
Spoiler alert: the Phoenix rises from the ashes in an emotionally provocative self-sacrificing way in order to restore order and create peace and prosperity for all.
SIGH. Exactly what we all want for humanity and the world. And we witness it happen in the movie.
Because the Phoenix RISES UP...after being turned to ashes.
THIS is why I am emotionally distraught each time I rewatch this movie. On a soul level, I know this isn't a movie. It portrays where we are and what needs to happen to achieve our end goal of new earth, new consciousness, and prosperity for all. Right now.
We each have to RISE UP. Be reborn from the ashes around us and within us.
There are parts of you that have been dormant, dying, or dead within you. Maybe you were told too many times to shut up, so you stopped speaking your truth and that part of you went dormant. Or when someone abused you because they had been abused - mentally, emotionally, physically, or sexually - they took away your power to live, leaving parts of you feeling dead inside.
The reason I share this is because it is time to rebirth the parts that serve you, ignite your fire, and give you more energy and love to BE the change you want to see in the world.
I've shared this Phoenix image before. I love this image. It's powerfully evocative and beautiful.
I share this picture with you so you can connect to the parts of you within the image. YOU are the Phoenix! I want you to see the parts of you you couldn't see before. It's time to acknowledge you are in the Phoenix and the Phoenix is in you! This is your brilliance coming to life.
Even when it feels like you are in the throes of life, buried deep beneath the ashes of sorrow, grief, and pain, you can be reborn again. When you make the choice, ANY part of you can come alive.
You are invited to watch this month's short video (09:03) below about RISING UP as the Phoenix! I go into more aspects of the movie and what I've shared with you so far in this newsletter. At 6:40, you can watch where I share and discuss the above image.
Happiest blessings to you for the New Year! May you set your intention for 2022 and GO FOR IT! RISE UP! Proclaim your power and stay steadfast in honoring who YOU are.
You are the Love-Light. I see you, I honor you, I respect you, I thank you, AND I love you.
With love and gratitude,
Alana
