Aloha, everybody. Welcome to Your Heart Magic. This is Dr. Bethan Kapansky Wright. And today we are going to be looking at an energy update. We will be looking at what the Akashic records say about the week ahead. I have an Oracle card to share, some psychological perspective and tools for our mental health so that we can take this guidance and embody it and work with it in a way that makes it applicable and real, and a fun creative prompt that goes along with all of it. So, first, a little story to illustrate the energy this week. I'm a runner, as I've often shared on the podcast. And on any given day, there could be all sorts of things that I'm listening to when I run. I have all sorts of music and genres and different types of music that I like to run to. And sometimes I really enjoy putting on a station on Pandora and letting it play at random and seeing what comes through. And something that has happened over the years, probably because I give it a thumbs up, so they keep giving me more, is that they will drop movie soundtracks in with some of the pop music or different kinds of music that I listen to. And I love it when out of nowhere, some theme song to a movie that I'm really connected to, or I really have positive memories associated with comes on. And recently this happened. It was a rainy Friday, and I don't remember what was playing before it, but it was some pop song or something like that. And then the music just changed. And what came on was the theme song to Back to the Future. And the opening notes came on, and I had such a flood of memories associated with that movie and the whole trilogy of movies and growing up at the time, but it's a fabulous song. And it has this really great build to it. And there's this moment in the music where everything builds note by note and layer by layer. And then it reaches this incredible crescendo. And I could feel it in my body. I could feel sort of this resonance going on inside of me. And I absolutely ran faster and had a little Friday runner's high moment on my own in the rain a couple Fridays ago. But I thought about that moment this week when I brought the message through from the Akashic Records. Because when I opened the Akashic Records this week, the word that immediately came through was crescendo. And this week carries the energy of something building and reaching a peak. The Akashic gave us the metaphor that it's as if you're listening to a symphony or the theme song from a favorite movie, and you can feel the momentum rising. And then finally it lands and it reaches this peak moment. And there is a sense of satisfaction and movement and flow and that resonance that really only comes when you're listening to a musical composition that takes you through that arc. And that's the metaphor this week. There is a sense this week of resolution, movement, things coming together, challenges and obstacles beginning to shift. Places where we may have been feeling stuck or like we couldn't see our way through may begin to feel more fluid and more workable and more possible. It feels like a week where momentum is not only happening, but really fast momentum is possible and you might clear something or leap over something that felt like an obstacle, and all of a sudden you see your way through and figure out how to negotiate or resolve it. And what's important with all of this is that this is not the beginning of something new. This is a result of what has already been building. Because many of you have been doing the deeper work. You have been going back and reconnecting with your values, remapping your values, shifting internal patterns, laying new foundations. All that preparation and teeny tiny micro steps that the Akashic has been talking about for weeks now starts to come together. And now you are beginning to feel the movement of that. So the deeper message from the Akashic is all about step into aligned action, trust your steps, and trust your sense of what to do. And don't waste time overanalyzing or second-guessing or trying to get it perfect, because there are no absolutes here. There's just your discernment and your intuition and your relationship with yourself. So there was this beautiful message from the Akashic about trusting yourself and trusting your intuition and knowing that however you might feel called to move at this time, that all you can do is take your best sense of what the next right action is and trust that. And don't question yourself because you've been doing the prep work. And I found that so beautiful and so reassuring. Astrologically, all of this lines up with the continued build of Aries energy. We have all this forward motion going on right now, decisiveness and action. Aries season is all about fire energy and spark and taking bold action. But what I love about this week as we weave the Akashic message in is that this isn't about chaotic action. This is about informed action. It's action that comes from what you've already been living and learning and integrating. So this week becomes a turning point. And the invitation from the energy is to ask ourselves can I trust what I've been building enough to move with it? I have an Oracle card to share today from my deck that is still a work in progress. And the one that spoke to me that aligns with this energy is called trust your evolution. And the essence of this card is you are further along than you think. Trust the path that has been unfolding within you. And the message from the card is there are times when growth feels uncertain. And there are times when something begins to click, when movement feels possible again. This is that moment. You are not being asked to start over, you are being asked to trust what you've learned, what you've built, who you've become, even if it doesn't feel complete, even if it's still unfolding. And the invitation from the card is what if I trusted my sense of direction without needing full certainty? And this card feels so aligned with the Akashic message because this week is not about figuring everything out. It's about trusting what is already in motion, what we have been preparing for and setting into motion for weeks now and really months. Let's talk mental health toolbox for a little bit. From a psychological perspective, this is a week about trusting internal integration. Often when things begin to move, our mind wants to jump in and ask, is this right? What if I get it wrong? Should I wait until I'm more certain? I feel many of us are really good at getting in the way of ourselves and getting in the way of our own growth when we know inside of us the right thing to do, but we want like 10,000 signs from spirit or the universe that somehow confirm that. And what's happening this week is that we have been doing the integration work. We have been integrating emotionally, integrating in our nervous system, grounding ourselves into these new ways of being. So the work becomes learning to trust ourselves in motion. And we can support that by noticing the urge to overanalyze. So pay attention when you might find yourself looping or circling or kind of cycling around self-doubt and over-questioning yourself. Ask yourself: am I seeking clarity or am I avoiding trust? You can also ground into your body before acting. And so before you make a decision, take a breath, feel your body, notice what feels steady, see if you can connect with your center. And when we have clarity, it often feels calm, grounded, or quietly certain. Sometimes for me, clarity might feel like really clear energy. And what I mean by that, it's not necessarily that I'll feel 100% certain of something, but more that when I come into my center, it just feels very quiet on the inside. And I have a sense of coming back into equilibrium and feeling very peaceful, almost a sense of blankness or neutrality sometimes. So that shows up differently for all of us, but checking in and trying to come at it from a place of your center will feel helpful. You can also remember this week that a small action does build self-trust. So you don't have to make a perfect choice. You don't have to feel like you have optimized or maximized, or that what you're doing crosses every T. You just have to try and make a connected choice and a present moment choice and move in a way that feels true for you right now, based on the information and the tools and resources that you have. When we take those small actions, they build trust faster than overthinking things ever will. Something else you can also do is normalize and perfection. You're not meant to get it exactly right and have full certainty and know the entire path. That's just not how life works. And if we take a step back and often look at a lot of the choices and decisions we've made, when did any of us ever have the full map for A plus B is going to equal C, and then you're going to do this, and then this is going to come? That is not how life operates. And so this is not about needing every single step of the way. It's just about staying in relationship with yourself as you move and trusting your process and trusting what you've been building. So this week is about shifting from external validation into internal trust and from overthinking things into embodied knowing. And again, trusting what you've been building for yourself, trusting your process and trusting that you are also carried in the greater process of life. For our creative prompt this week, I have some fun journaling prompts that you are welcome to journal about, do bullet list if you want to make art out of it. That would be really fun. But this week is all about the crescenda within and taking a moment and reflecting on where in my life do I feel momentum building? What feels like it's coming together? Where am I being asked to trust myself and take a step forward and identifying the areas in your life where each of those pieces of the puzzle might be happening? And then if you want a more in-depth, open-ended journaling prompt, you might try, I am beginning to trust and then free write whatever comes through. I feel ready to move forward in. And the last one, I don't need to have it all figured out because fill in the blank. I like that one. That one I think I want to take with me myself and put that down in my own journal. As I said earlier, so often we get in the way of ourselves and feel like we need to have it figured out or know more than what we actually do. I think there's a lot of fear attached to making a mistake or getting it wrong and giving ourselves permission not to know and to move forward and trust our process and just make the best educated action steps that we know to make based on what we know at the time, feel so permissive and so freeing and so in keeping with self-grace. So even though there's all this action going on this week, this week is not about pushing and it's not about forcing. It's about recognizing something that has already been building. And now you're being invited to move with it. Not perfectly, not with certainty, but with trust, because you are not starting from nothing. You are stepping into something that has already been unfolding within you. Thank you so much for joining me on the podcast today. I will be back next week with a new Your Heart Magic episode. In the meantime, have a beautiful week, and as always, be well, be love, be you, and be magic.
