Throughout my childhood, my aunt would remind us on the first day of May that it was the Marian month—the month of devotion to Mother Mary, one of the great and beautiful faces of Divine Mother. In May, you’ll find the energy of Divine Mother even more accessible, which is good because our Angels are sharing that it's time for us to rebalance our lives. This means is that we need to Mother (parent) ourselves from the inside on a deeper level than ever before.
We’ve been holding energy for the great shifts that have been taking place. We know we have access to infinite strength because we're connected to the Divine. For these reasons, we readily bypass the limitations of our humanity. We assume that Source energy will push us through when we are overcommitted and have no more physical energy of our own.
The Angels have been telling us since the start of this year that it's now time for us to stop functioning in a way that totally depletes us. Yes, we have access to the unlimited energy of the Divine, but we can’t run our human selves ragged in service to the external. There is no longer time to fall onto the couch to replenish for two weeks. We need to see the signs of our exhaustion and stop pushing before we get to the point where where there’s nothing left to give.

We are not only learning this new balance for ourselves, but we are modeling it for the rest of humanity as we find our way in this new paradigm. We're growing into a healthy relationship with boundaries, with internally and externally. This month we are asked to focus on parenting ourselves—being attentive enough to see when we're getting tired and understanding enough to stop putting out more than we're willing to receive.
We are being encouraged to take a pause.
We're still going to go “all in” with so many things. It’s in our nature. It now just needs to be with much greater balance. We’re so much more effective when we take a break, making the time and space for harmony in our lives. Maybe we even do something fun with the people that we love, or find a non-work or spiritual work related activity that brings us joy. (We have the work and spiritual work things down!)
It's time to stand in the Light without causing ourselves unnecessary suffering, and without causing other aspects of our lives to crumble. We’re called to show up in such a way that our relationships, emotional states, physical bodies (and every other aspect of our lives) get fed and enlivened by everything we do.
This will require healing, but it doesn’t have to be hard. When something is ailing us, we begin questioning and analyzing what we’ve been doing wrong—which part of out spiritual practice we’ve been ignoring, which emotions were insufficiently processed, where there’s been a lapse in our regimens. These are all great questions to be asking because we want to get ahead of the situation and take control. We want to take care of our health from the base level up.
However, we tend to beat ourselves up, blame ourselves, and become self-accusatory when we could be using that energy much more effectively for healing. The Angels want us to be able to explore these things, take the knowledge we glean, and move forward without guilt or shame. We can make changes in our lives, but sometimes maybe we’ve already done everything the best way we know how.
We need to let go and move forward.
Keeping ourselves in a cycle of chastisement and unnecessary guilt lowers our vibrations and moves us out of the frequency of healing. These thoughts repeat, “wrong, wrong, wrong,” when what we truly need to be aligning with is “perfect.” And so we go deeper into ill health and dis-ease instead of exploring how we can best nurture ourselves from here.
Years ago, there was an article in Psychology Today about why some sports professionals more successful (performance-wise) than others. The difference was their ability to move on. If someone like Derek Jeter missed a catch, they were able to see why, process it, and move on, letting the mistake go. Others got stuck in the analysis, negative self talk, shame, and embarrassment, which led to inconsistent or weaker performance overall. These players were often not present for the rest of the game because they were so deep in their own heads. It’s like this when we find we need to heal any aspect of our lives.
Our thoughts move us toward or away from the energy we are seeking to align with. They also build walls or open doors. When we are in a state of wanting to heal ourselves in any way, all of our energy has to be moving in the direction of healing.
The whole message of spirituality is be present in the moment, because ultimately it's all that exists. It’s where we have access to infinite potential, where everything we need and all that we want to create exists. So when we can move out of our thought loops, we can be present and can incorporate what we've learned thus far, moving forward from here.
We are also in a position to receive the Guidance and intuitive hits that come to us through full presence. This is very important because in this new paradigm energy, we are asked to be fluid. The Divine Feminine energy ensures that things are flowing and moving, as opposed to being linear and stationary. For example, instead of going from A to B to C to D, we might be flowing from A to E, bypassing all that’s in the middle. Then maybe we flow from E to Q. Then maybe from Q back to A. In order to do this successfully, we need to be open to the process and follow our Guidance—the intuitive hits that will continuously lead us to the next right place. And those only exist in the moment.
If we do miss the Guidance, it will come back again and again for as long as it’s relevant. When we’re in the repetitive thoughts of not being good enough, not being worthy, or feeling ashamed—whether it's because of an error on the field or a life-threatening physical diagnosis—we keep ourselves in the past or future. Our lack of spiritual (or just plain old) self-esteem holds us back from taking the actions that are laid out in front of or are being requested of us, because “who are we to do that?”
We keep asking for more Guidance, and the same Guidance keeps coming. And we keep missing or ignoring it.
In order to flow better, the Angels are asking us to spend some time truly appreciating the beauty that is all around us. When we can stop and observe like a child seeing things for the first time, we bring ourselves into the present. Maybe it’s as simple as watching an ant carry a crumb, smelling that beautiful flower, or being fully immersed in the taste of a freshly-baked cookie. The senses ground us.
When we can approach the world this way, we refuel ourselves through our senses by reveling in all of the beauty that this experience of life on Earth provides. Even during the hardest times in life, if we are fully in the moment, we can appreciate the beauty that lies within any situation. We might not see it right away, but we will know in our hearts that it exists. And that knowing will ground us and carry us through.
TLDR:
The Angels want us to embody the knowledge that this moment is where all the potential, where all the beauty, where all the possibility of the Universe lies. It is your birthright to be able to access all of it. All you have to do is find a way that brings you into this moment where your Angels, your higher self and your entire Divine Team wait for you. They will meet you here and bring you the most beautiful messages and Guidance. All they ask in return is that you take the next right step and allow them to support you in doing so.
