Happy Birth-day!

Your day of birth is special indeed! No mistakes, no doubts. You are a Divine being in a physical body. A short read about the planning that goes into a life. And a happy birthday to my little sister!

Today is the day! The day where all aligned with Divine right timing and you came into a physical body.

• Plans, planned.

• Agreements made.

• Blueprint for a lifetime locked into place.

• Guardians and guides on notice and at the ready.

• Ancestors viewing proceedings with hope and anticipation.

• Self-belief, optimism, and unconditional love in your energetic fragment, your Higher Self.

Today is a Magical Day!

A birth-day is viewed in so many different ways that reveal our perspectives - ranging from how our family acknowledges its significance, to how we view the life/universal cycles and our place in them.

Today is no ‘small’ day indeed!

Here are a few metaphysical perspectives to consider…

The Queue

Souls ‘line up’ for an opportunity to come into a physical body. To have a physical experience that allows FEELING. This allows us to evolve as energetic beings, understanding contrasts of light and dark, comfortable and uncomfortable, loving and non-loving, suffering and most of all, joy. To learn / remember to trust our feelings as guidance. It also allows us to contribute to raising the vibration of mass consciousness, and of all that is - simply because we are in a physical body and playing out our roles.

There are more souls waiting for an opportunity to experience life in a body with a different ability. Why? Because there is more potential for growth available in a differently-abled body when we choose to see beyond the label of ‘disability’. The growth may be for us as we learn to rely on others or work around limitation, it may be to create different perspectives or strengths of character in those who love us, or both.

This Body, This Ancestral Line

Regardless of the body we choose, we have chosen it (with rare exception) and it has everything we need for this lifetime. As energy or spirit, we have scoped out potential parents and ancestral lineages that correlate somehow with our past lives and other energetic points we have existed.

Our parents will help to create the environment we need to have a childhood that readies us for this life’s experiences. They may also have agreed to ‘get the ball rolling’ and create some challenges that point to what it is we are here to work on. Wondering what these might be? They are the scenarios that repeatedly trigger familiar uncomfortable emotions throughout our life.

Our ancestors will reveal where the points of trauma began and offer us their strength, tenacity, wisdom and enduring love for each generation. No one truly benefits from holding onto old patterns of suffering, limitation and the ubiquitous imbalances of ‘undeserving’ or ‘unworthy’ - even the energy of deceased ancestors. We can also allow our significant ancestors to reach down, joining hands with each other and then with us as they share their gifts to support us in our work.

Past lives and Releasing Karma

In this lifetime, karma no longer needs to be carried forward from one lifetime to the next, and a lifetime in a physical body is an opportunity for all manner of wounding and energetic miasma to be cleared. Ancestral lines are carefully chosen in relation to the residual ‘wounds’ and imbalances in the hope we will choose a different perspective, eg, forgiveness vs resentment and bitterness. To remember the karmic debris that, like low vibration emotions, exists as an invitation to step away from drama and come back to the unconditional love that we are.

Planning

Our teacher guides, soul family and other significant energies work with us to untangle the energetic hologram, and to identify the residues that we hope to release while in a physical body. While this is important, the top of our list is always to experience joy and unconditional love while on Earth.

Agreement with Others

We are energetically connected with every person we cross paths will. Some of these very same energies reappear, lifetime after lifetime, often as an invitation to choose something better for ourselves in this lifetime. Every relationship offers potential. Some will:

• offer unconditional love to remind us of who we are.

• offer betrayal, abandonment, etc, to remind us of what we are here to heal.

• present contracts to be healed, create opportunities for unfinished business to be concluded.

• invite us to choose something better for ourselves.

• teach us and others boundaries - how to create them, how to respect them, how to hold them with love.

• teach us what compassion and unconditional love is.

• teach us loss, suffering, and ask us to learn to love again.

• challenge us to trust ourselves and our inner knowing.

• remind us not to take life too seriously.

• will be for a lifetime, and others simply for a time.

Agreement with the Higher Self

When our blueprint is recorded, our Higher Self agrees to honour the plan for this life. It will unfailingly give us as many opportunities as needed- regardless of how we may resist once we are ‘under the veil’ and in a physical body. It knows our Divine plan and unvaryingly works to create experiences in accordance with our plan. Regardless of what our human Ego may want or think it needs.

Soul Family and Guardians

We are not ‘cut loose’. Every human has a number of spiritual helpers, from the Archangels assigned at our birth, to the guides, soul and star family members who journey with us, to our spirit animals and more. Find them using the Divinely Guided meditation below.

As energy, you are unconditional love, you are beautiful, and everyone loves you - it is only under the physical illusion we believe otherwise.

The Journey Inwards

Once the fetus is growing, we may follow our parents, move in and out of our little body, testing how it feels, and anchoring in before or as our birth is imminent. To do this we must descend from the non-physical to the physical, shooting out from Source on our own unique path. On the way we travel through heavy layers, energetic miasma, our parents’ emotions, the weight of ancestral and collective vibration. Within a short space of time we will forget our energetic origin and Divine plan as we step onto the stage of this lifetime. Thankfully, our Higher Self will hold our agreement and our experiences will invite us inwards as we learn to return to trusting our deep knowing, the wisdom that sits within each of us.

So yes, today is special.

You are being celebrated for choosing this experience.

May you recognise it, remember it, and celebrate it however brings you joy!

You are infinitely blessed
