There is so much in flux right now in the world, with the planets and the people, that I decided to use today’s Soft Nudge space for reflection and integration. I think when so much is shifting, it gets easier to lose ourselves in the shuffle, be that energetically, mentally, or physically.
As I’ve reflected on the body of work I’m creating here, I have noticed several themes popping up in my Soft Human Voice podcast episodes. In my three conversations with healers Rebecca Barry, Debra Martin, and Randy Spelling (the latter two of which will air soon), all addressed these independently.
• The solution for feelings of disconnection is to reconnect with your Soul.
• Don’t be afraid to try new practices and experiment with new modalities right now.
• None of us are able to feel consistently connected without healthy habits and techniques.
When I connected these dots with Randy, he mentioned that the old paradigm of gurus is over, suggesting that anyone can do healing work (and we need to). This stuck with me.
Take Responsibility for Your Well-Being
We are each responsible for our own well-being. Teachers, healers, and psychics don’t have more access to wisdom, grounding, intuition, or well-being than you do. We have just practiced more. Healer Michael Beckwith once eloquently spoke to this, saying: We aren’t special. We specialize.
This is true whether you are a concert pianist, artist, scientist, writer, or psychic.
Yet this is also true when it comes to being connected… to your Connection. Of course you are always connected, but you forget. You get distracted. You have conditioning to release. So do I. I feel this new era is requiring even more accountability and responsibility for our well-being.
Old Paradigm, New Paradigm
We have officially entered a new paradigm.
2026 is a numerological “one” year; it is now officially Year of the Fire Horse in the Eastern lunar system; Saturn and Neptune are both now in Aries, and Uranus is about to shift into the sign of Gemini in the Western solar system.
Giddy up!

We are all shifting with this. How is this affecting you? Internally, energies can feel bumpy, disorienting, exhilarating, integrative, and everything in between. I am doing more nervous system work. My energy sensitivity has ramped up. I feel pulled to deepen, to be in presence.
I need all of my internal resources right now.
I need to be present, online, and fully available.
Intuitive Invitation
As you ponder your inner experience of the shifting energies, what is one thing you can try, do, initiate, or act upon that would support your well-being? Here are three ideas, from my recent Soft Human Voice recordings:
Ask: What does my Soul want today? Intuitive and author Rebecca Barry offers this practice. Listen to her instructions on this episode.
Take a Soul Walk. Randy Spelling says when we intentionally drop out of our heads and simply take a walk, we get present, where all things become possible. Episode coming soon.
Be in Your Body. In an upcoming podcast with Debra Martin, I breathe with the butterfly shape in our bellies, the diaphragm, inviting spaciousness and comfort. For more embodied practices you can listen to my first five podcasts, or try some qigong at Soft Human Movement.
However you decide to feed your Mind, Body, and Spirit, this is the time to take action. The energy right now asks that we be proactive, and experiment.
Yet it also asks that we are good stewards of our well-being, perhaps in brand new ways.
This also means that if you feel reactive or impatient now, why not channel it into wellness? In my experience, when you put energy into cultivating well-being, confusion and unrest sort themselves out naturally.

This email made a lot of sense. My hopes for myself during this planetary alignment is to emerge more in control of my ever fluctuating energy. Thank you for your kind words. I will be checking out the podcast.
