Summer Solstice 2023

Dear Clients and Friends, old and new,

I will be holding a Summer Solstice Celebration at my home in Woolverstone on 21^st June.

The High Point of This Year is Fast Approaching

How did time fly so fast? I guess because life is so busy for most. For some cluttered up by being plugged-in 24/7, 365 on all channels. This is often an unconscious choice, but kind of expected/forced on us. I am learning to set boundaries; I dip and dive into social media when I feel like it now. If I don’t like a friend’s post, I hope they realise I didn’t see it.

Celebration

I invite you to join me to ‘Stop the World’ and enter a safe space providing an evening of Reiki Drumming, Visualisation and Art* and then share food and fun with like-minded souls. Expressing gratitude for everything good (and bad) as the wheel turns, we have passed the half-year point. I am grateful I have a great family, friends, teachers, colleagues, clients, and allies. I don’t deny the last however many months have been tough, but connection and community are the strongest shield we can utilise to stay true to our soul path and not be manipulated or swayed right now over trivial pursuits.

Practical Details - 21st June 2023

Evening: Reiki Drumming and Art – 6-9pm – please bring something yummy to share and an open mind. If you have a passion for art, feel free to bring your sketchbook and any favourite materials. Otherwise, I have paper and various pens and paints, but they are not unlimited. Also, although my studio is warm, you may want to bring a blanket and mat.

Open house from 13.00pm onwards – if you can’t make evening, come for a cuppa or art session during the day – private message me if this suits you better and we can confirm a time.

The evening event is by invitation only, but feel free to bring a friend. RSVP please and text on the day if your plans change for any reason!

Re: Art

*No art expertise is required. After the drumming mediation you can choose whether you would like to express anything you felt or saw in any way that is appropriate. Or you can sit with your thoughts and feelings in the garden or go for a walk. Your ‘art’ can be a scribble, a poem, a journal entry, a dance – you don’t have to share it – I advise not too. It’s yours and I recommend holding it quietly inside until you have understood any guidance received, followed through on any actions that resonated and fully digested any insights. They say this takes a year and a day. It is different for everyone, but sharing too quickly dilutes the potency of the messages and guidance or indescribable bodily knowing you receive whilst in deep mediation.

Let’s Raise Energy Together!

Come and raise energy on the highest, peak day of the Western Solar Calendar. It’s not about us really, the collective vibration of this country needs a boost, and every small act helps. Getting together creates positive energy – for us. Anything further that radiates from that - which it will, is much needed. Let’s create a ball of light, the happier I am, you am, we am, she am, he am, they am, all am – we’ve done what we can.

Reflection Since the Winter Solstice

We are entering a new phase: AI and huge changes re: social/Google etc. – this started already (2022) but next year will be a new case of are you in or out. As a digital marketer by day, I am acutely aware of the impact of this, but can I change it? No. Can I humanly embrace it? No. Difficult, complex, moral Darwinian decisions. Is it do or die, or is there another way? There is always another way. A kind, viable, composite blend that I can live with. Some things need more thought than others. This is one of them.

So, this Solstice, as Saturn is stationing retrograde, Pluto is just doing his final yo@ in late Capricorn, yawn, but you’ll know, if that affects you, final rug pull. For everyone else the energy is sombre. But with Pluto at least, this final transit is the conclusion of a 3-part play.

Hallelujah – then we deep dive into the depths of technology in 2024 for 20 years. If you can’t keep up now, duck out before it really kicks in. AI and how deep the rabbit hole goes are beyond even bio computers at the moment. It’s not Alice in Wonderland, sadly. The Matrix got a good grasp of it in 1999 but watch and learn how metaphysics will be required in primary school learning, and offer a much needed loophole – or at least an ability to mentally bend at times, some of the ‘rules’ of reality. We do not live in a Newtonian world. But metaphysics is too ethereal to pin down. Maybe Saturn in Pisces can help with that one?

It is time to embrace the moments where you can plug your ring of power into any belief system you choose. Like working out a new muscle, if you put effort in, these moments of mental agility, with repetition and practice will get stronger and more frequent. Your mind is so powerful if you understand it, you can control your entire perception of the universe. Staying at that place is tough (beyond belief), as other people’s fear, the media and daily grind of the majority try to reconnect you to fear-based disempowered consciousness.

This Solstice I will be releasing old energy again to make room for the new to come in. I feel empathy for people who can’t take life and enjoy each moment and appreciate it for what it is. A reason, season, or lifetime.

I send all hungry ghosts peace. Find yourself, and life will be good again.

There is No Place Like Home…

Clarity is like a rare diamond. I have pondered where my spiritual home is for a while now. Lightbulb: It’s in me. It’s where I am. I need a base, but home is my body – so can be anywhere. The collection of years of stuff is attachment. Simple when my mind expands, hard to connect to when my energy is lower. The answer to a problem I have pondered long-time. So, the next question is how to stay more in high vibration? Hard work. Intention, focus and practice.

Fire Power – Remember Who You Are

It came from a dream: Find something you would fight to live for or (metaphorically) die for. That is what makes you feel alive. Passionate. Purposeful. Worth It. Contact me at rachel@epiphanie.co.uk or call 07780 612625 for more information.
