As I write to you today, from a French coffee shop, looking out the window, listening to some older ladies talk as they gather among friends, starting their day filled with joy, companionship and laughter, my heart smiles.
The tables are all full, and it’s not even 9:30 in the morning. A mother and her cute little baby in one, a young man in a Zoom call having a business meeting on another. An old couple savouring a warm cup of coffee in a corner. It feels like everyone decided to start their day in a place that is inviting, comforting and warm.
In my mind, I choose to think they all decided that because, where we are located, Spring finally gifted us with what will be a hot and bright day. At least for today.
It’s sunny outside. No rain in the forecast, finally. So I don’t think anyone will be going back home after this good start for their day. Everybody is looking for a moment to feel joyful. And today they intentionally chose to make it happen.
While noticing those around me, I realized that this is exactly the energy I needed to connect with when writing to you today. I absolutely love how life organizes our reality in a way that every - little or major - event has an intention, a purpose and a goal, to help us in what we need to either see, connect with, or learn. At least, that’s how I’m choosing to look at life.
And it’s something I’ve been trying to get your attention to as well.
Intentionality is a concept we really need to start paying more attention to, especially when intentionally choosing the life we want to live.
The more I understand this concept, that life is literally guiding us purposefully, all the way through, the clearer and the easier it gets to see all the signs; how everything that happens falls in the right place and in the right moment.
The hard part, and I think it is absolutely understandable, is that when we are being swallowed by difficult moments, we give in to feelings that disconnect us from this idea of guidance and support. We get angry, frustrated, sad, lost, and under this lens we feel attacked, as if life is happening to us. So we fight, we oppose, we push things back and away, we get angry, resentful.
But even then, we continue to be guided, maybe more than before. I too feel this way sometimes - hopeless and discouraged. Who doesn’t?
But for the past days, I have been witnessing life in a way I can’t begin to describe. Helping me understanding in a much deeper way that difficult moments also bring support, and once we cross them we find clarity.
Due to the series of events that life organized for me, all happening in the same week without my conscious participation to put them together, upon experiencing them, living through each one of them being intentional and present, something clicked.
I’m always using the word synchronicity to refer to these ‘coincidences’, because honestly, there’s really no other way to describe it. There’s a higher power orchestrating it all behind the scenes. It definitely wasn't me.
The biggest realization I had was the understanding of how disconnected our minds are from our bodies.
We’ve been living way too much in our mind, and not really opening the channels for energy to flow to our bodies. This is creating a lot of stress, getting our bodies sick, for the sole purpose of not having new energy flow and recharge our cells. We can’t simply think our way through life, we need to feel it! In order to feel, we need to live! Be out into the world. So Life can have multiple opportunities to happen for us.
Moments like these work as real awakening portals.
And speaking of awakening, last week’s message was all about this concept.
Close friends, after listening to the Podcast, started to contact me to share about their own moments of synchronicity, their own awakening moments. The messages were everywhere - be it through oracle cards, books, crystals, spiritual downloads, meeting new people, unexpected invitations, even through ads, the messages kept coming.
And they all carried the same essence - actually the same exact word: awakening! It felt like we were being struck by a lightning bolt, getting our minds and bodies fully activated, reconnected, experiencing one realization, one confirmation after another.
We were being called - and we continue to be - to step into a new reality. Not that our lives will turn upside down, although it did feel a little like this to me for a brief moment. All I’m seeing, in my own life and through those who are kindly sharing their experiences with me, is that we are being called to enter new realms of knowledge, feeling in our own bodies new and different sensations, signs of confirmation even, being presented with new information. New. New. New. That’s the main element present. But it’s not just anything. This is big and profound.
It’s all coming now, and there’s a reason behind all this. It always has.
This week we are starting anew. We are being called, invited, and pushed to enter a new space. A place where curiosity, creativity, and fresh starts will be the energy inspiring us. But this time we will need to put on our student hat. We are being initiated in a new body of knowledge.
That’s why it’s not only about new ideas. This is an important element, of course, because ideas are the byproduct of our experiences and desires. But upon what we live and seek in life, we keep in our heart the seeds to what we want to see grow. When the right time comes, our heart takes the impressions of what our Soul wants to perceive, adds in our desires, and if in alignment with our personal values, it plants in the mind that little seed that will grow into new and fresh possibilities.
But you see how it all works? None of it started in the mind. The body is also a big part of it. There’s a direct connection. When this connection is blocked, we get stuck in a mental loop. We stop feeling, therefore we not only block the source of our creative energy, we also block the direct communication channel that guides us through our decision making process. Because my friend, it doesn’t happen in the mind, it happens in the body.
What makes these moments of connection more powerful and amazing is adding to this mix what’s stored in our subconscious, accessing lived experiences, making space for our truth to take place. In a raw, real, and honest way.
Because my friend, your mind doesn’t run the show alone. It is only the main stage of your life. The backstage is where the casting, the scenarios, the costumes, the conversations, the drama, the lighting, the sound, and the director of the show, stay.
As Bruce H. Lipton says in his book The Biology of Belief:
“I believe the greatest problem we face is that we think we are running our lives with the wishes, desires, and aspirations created by our conscious mind. When we struggle or fail to obtain our goals, we are generally led to conclude that we are victims of outside forces preventing us from reaching our destination. However, neuroscience has now established that the conscious mind runs the show, at best, only about 5 percent of the time. It turns out that the programs acquired by the subconscious mind shape 95 percent or more of our life experiences.”
You see? That’s why I’m so passionate about this topic.
We keep living in a, literally, mental loop, going round and round with ideas, trying to make sense of things, but our mind is just the tip of the iceberg. We’re not accessing the rich and resourceful library within our unconscious mind. We are only checking the books showcased in the store window.
And these memories, even though they are kept in the unconscious realms, they are remembered through the body and mind connection. They need to be experienced, felt, not simply thought of.
In my pursuit to help me and others access this internal world and truly live by their purpose, feeling in alignment, present, connected with themselves, their bodies, and a higher source, this is why I started the ALMA VIA Podcast.
These messages are true spiritual guidance, no doubt, but I wanted to experience them with a purpose. My goal is to really understand how this guidance shows up in real life, not by rationalizing them, but by discovering the ‘whys’ behind the triggers and the activations they spark.
And to enhance and make this moment more impactful and meaningful, I’m bringing in my experience with Hypnosis, to help us access these portals of inner discovery and get juicy information directly from the source: our subconscious.
Maybe navigating the underworld of your mind, through today’s Episode, will be the new concept, or new idea, you will tap into this week.
New ideas, new projects, new goals, new possibilities, will be present this week. There’s something you’ve been thinking about lately that will put you in a new position in life, and it’s just waiting for you to take the first step. But in order for you to make this reality happen you need to create it. It’s up to you to understand all the requirements, which means connecting to your creative energy, and maybe, even acquiring new knowledge around it. It’s about wearing that student hat we talked about earlier.
And where is all this coming from? Well, this week we have a single tarot card, the Page of Wands. Wands relate to our mind. Creativity is the energy running the show.
But it’s not about the final result. It’s about the in-between moments and how they make you feel. The ways in which this energy will move through you are what you’re really being called to notice.
Today your subconscious will be at work, activated by external energies, and directly communicating with you, in a more active and direct way. What memories, symbols, or ideas will pop up?
Going forward, pay careful attention to your dreams. Daydreaming counts as well. Notice the topics that will emerge in conversations. Things that will catch your attention as you’re walking down a street, running some errands, or even while watching TV.
I once had a client who, in a session, had a message brought through the tarot card ‘The Hanged Man’. A couple of days after, while watching a Medical TV Show, this exact card showed up, in the show, not related to what was going on in the episode, but for some reason there it was. A closed zoom, in one of the scenes, of this card. It was so obvious and to the point that my client couldn’t ignore what Life was showing him. It was a direct confirmation of what needed his attention, which was related to bringing new perspectives to what he was struggling with.
Maybe you will start having confirmations as well. Or some “random” ideas about projects you are feeling called to. It will feel something like “Where did this come from?”, or “I never thought about this before!”
But life happens best when we get out of our secret chambers and connect with people, or go out into the world, so that these moments of synchronicity can actually happen. Being in community is an important element to consider now. I for one am so happy and grateful to have people in my life who not only support me, but who also share the same impressions about all that’s coming to us, through these messages.
These moments of confirmation are really what keeps us in awe, excited for what’s next.
Having a community to rely on, to support your “craziness”, laugh with you, cry with you, help you traverse intense and difficult moments, and celebrate the wins and the losses - because losing things isn’t always bad - well, this is really what the New Era, this moment in time, is about: being in community of like-minded people.
And my friend, pay attention to what I’m about to say: this new ‘crazy’ idea will be here for you to embrace with a youthful and playful approach! It’s very important that you first consider how navigating this new project will make you feel, from beginning to end. Enjoy the process! Go wild in your own creative world. More than what will result from this, it’s about how you will feel as you live through it.
Today’s message - Life’s School of Creative Arts - is an immersive experience to connect you directly with your internal library - your subconscious - and discover what you may not even imagine was there, waiting for this exact moment, to be revealed to you and guide you through this explosion of creative energy.
I hope you’re feeling inspired. I hope you are feeling ready to dive deep into your secret world! There’s something very special waiting to be found by you today!
One important note: have a pen and paper right beside you when listening to the message. As soon as you come out of this experience, it will be important for you to have it handy, so you can write down what will come to you, in detail, before it fades away. Because this moment is not to be forgotten, but to be lived and felt deeply, today and in the coming ones.
Be creative! Be open. Allow life to speak to and through you.
Oh! And guess who I saw on my way out, gathering outside to enjoy the warmth of the sun and the joy the day was bringing? The group of older ladies I first saw having breakfast inside the café. They took their mugs and treats outdoors, found a picnic table, and made their day even brighter. They were intentional about how they wanted to feel!
Remember this moment, because this is an important piece from today’s message - this concept of intentionally creating the reality you want to see happening in your life.
Before I go, I felt like this was important to share. This card came right before I worked on today’s message. And while channeling what needed to come forth, a strong feeling to connect to a crystal invaded my heart (when you listen to the Episode you will understand why). Right there I remembered this card. When I read what it had to say, my heart felt in sync.
This is guidance. This is confirmation. This was Life speaking to me.
I hope it can spark more insights for you too.
The appearance of the sunny, positivity-inducing citrine card signifies the beginning of a metamorphic journey of self assurance, confidence and empowerment. It is a positive influence no matter where or how it appears in a reading for it illuminates all dark corners and guides you towards unleashing your potential.
It serves as a reminder that confidence is a skill, not a right. You’re being encouraged to shift towards a more positive mindset, challenge any negative stories holding you back and surround yourself with positive influences of people and information such as books or courses that will inspire, uplift and encourage you to see the light in all areas of your life.
Season’s of the Witch - Lammas - Oracle
- by Lorraine Anderson and Juliet Diaz -
Citrine is a yellow crystal that activates the Solar Plexus Chakra, also associated with the colour yellow. It is considered lucky or helpful when trying something new. It helps with self-esteem and self-control.
The Solar Plexus is the chakra associated to personal power and the ability to manifest and make things happen. Where your ideas are born and established.
Believe me when I say that synchronicity is all around. It’s not by chance that this card came this week. It never is. You will understand, or even feel it better once you listen to today’s Episode - Life’s School of Creative Arts.
Since today’s message is all about creativity, take a look at the page of the artist who illustrated this oracle - Tyjana Lukovic. Her work is a true testament to how the Soul speaks through art.
Now is the time for you to see it for yourself. I hope you enjoy the creative experience you’re about to embark on. It’s really magical!
Our vibes speak louder than our words.
Be well!
