“You can accept or reject the way you are treated by other people, but until you heal the wounds of your past, you will continue to bleed. You can bandage the bleeding with food, with alcohol, with drugs, with work, with cigarettes, with sex, but eventually, it will all ooze through and stain your life. You must find the strength to open the wounds, stick your hands inside, pull out the core of the pain that is holding you in your past, the memories, and make peace with them.”

Hello, my lovelies.
Are you feeling it? This intense energy?
If you are, then I am glad.
Even though it is rough, and kind of hard to handle.
I’m glad because it means that you’re moving in the right direction.
You see, we’re in the middle of some pretty big shift. You’d have to be pretty stuck to not feel it. And for all of you who are empathic, sensitive or intuitive, this could be a pretty intense ride. The full moon is amplifying it. The heavens and their alignment are amplifying it. The earth in her wisdom is amplifying it – this crazy, crazy-making energy of shift.
As we move to a higher vibration so much of what we have carried within our bodies and our cellular memories, so much of what is encoded in our DNA, and in the deepest recesses of our memories, so many of our old patterns and beliefs, old injuries and illnesses that were anchored deep into our tissue, they are all letting go.
Which may mean that you feel swamped.
Or that shit keeps going down.
Know what I mean?
And it might be making you feel more than a little edgy. Or crazy. Or desperate. Like you’re back down the rabbit hole again, and you’ll never get out. Like things will never, ever be sorted. Like you thought you were done with all of this, and yet here you are again, right in the place you thought you’d left far behind.
I want to remind you that it will pass. Don’t sit in fear with it. Don’t hang onto all of this old stuff or reclaim it by saying ‘This always happens to me.’ Don’t let any of this old stuff define you.
Be brave in witnessing this passing as the old energies move out of your life. Give them up. Let them go. Don’t fight them. Don’t freak yourself out by thinking that this place you’re in right now will never end.
If you’ve ever driven down a dead-end street you’ll know that you have to pass all that same stuff you’ve already travelled by as you head back out onto the open road again.
Face it head on. Cry if you must. And then keep going. Because this is what levelling up is all about. Keep your eyes on where you want to go, rather than the road behind you. Hold onto your dreams.
You’d always intended that this would be the life where you’d clear and let go of all of this. So get to it! I have so much faith in you.

It’s interesting, because the whole year has felt like that for me, ever since summer solstice actually. One thing after another, old shit, stuff I thought I was done with, relationship, health, money, the works. Then, this full moon, and strangely, the volume turned way down. I feel much more myself. I hope it lasts.
Thank you so much.

Thanks Nicole. I too feel like the ladies who have commented above. I have done this sh….t before. Enough already. I have worked and worked and worked and I thought I was done. I guess not . I too have had mountains of tears this week – I am not actually sure what about. I feel like I am in another transition – transitioning to I do not know what. Anyway I will keep on breathing. All my love to you. I hope things improve for you. 💞💞💞❌❌❌Jen
Sigh. As always. Your sharing has been such a great comfort over these years. Was considering today (and have before) what I value when it comes to social media, and I could just not give up on checking in here every night. Having this connection has been so important. So thank you.
It’s a wild, wild, wild, ride. Beautiful for many reasons, yet so big and so much to wrap the mind around. Takes a toll. Because this really can feel like madness. Takes a lot…and a lot of trust. Which is what I’m going to do my best to do. Be brave. See it all through. It’s all good. Love to all of the rest of you out there feeling this through.
All my love.
Hello my Warrior Princess/Queen of Hearts – this is the most perfect timing to read this (what a surprise – NOT). Have done the work, have felt the shift and today had some old beliefs raise their ugly head… I get it. You are a legend. You are a leader. You are a lovely wonderous human. Thank you for keeping space for all of us, even in the face of what you are going through. What an incredible being you are. Sending you love and light and healing. Thank you for thinking of us all. You are one of the great ones. xoxoxoxoxo
Major changes for me that’
s for sure.It is true you do start to think you have got it wrong and want to go back to that comfort zone. But as the say it is upward and onward no going back. Just let it goooooooo. Thanks Nicole. Am thinking of you with LOVE
OMG Nicole, you read my mind, ready my life 🙂 I became aware that this was happening in July and have gone with it as much as I could then. Now I am facing it, moving it, taking action and actually letting it ALLLLLL go. No more of that rubbish.
Big Hugs and Love

Nail on the head…only this morning I thought that maybe I need medical intervention…I just feel as if all the work I’ve done has come to nothing, for here I am again in an old place!! Thank you Nicole…I shall re-read your blog, and sit with it for a while…in gratitude. Gratitude for me, my journey, my work and in gratitude for you and your clarity. All of this you give us as you, yourself, are in the midst of your serious ‘stuff’ 🙂
Love and hugs to you. Marguerite xx

This is perfect. Sharing 🙂
Thank you beautiful lady. Feeling all my old stuff coming up in a new relationship! Sitting right in the thick of it now.. Questioning .. Figuring it out.. Trying to sit with it .. Trying to let go of its hold. Part of the emotional rollercoaster has subsided.. Now sitting with these feelings of disconnection and uncertainty. Wondering how it will play out 😘
Oh yes, all of the above. plus the crying. Hub of 25 years had brief affair then decided he just didn’t want to be married anymore so he ran away. now he’s communicating again but still can’t make a decision. I had no idea, this hit me like a tsunami.
