Your prayers are always answered
February 2022, a time of great shifts
I was so excited for February 2022! I entered the month bright-eyed and bushy tailed ready for all the good that was surely coming my way after an intense two years of massive growth! I anticipated new levels of energy, blessings and opportunities and a whole new reality that was rooted in my highest desires and dreams. Then February came… and I found myself feeling more lost than ever, no energy to begin anew and my complete resistance to rest and the current reality of February only brought more fear and self-doubt. I found myself, for the first time in a long time, praying. Not your everyday prayers but the kind of prayer that brings you to your knees in total surrender. We tend to pray like this when we’ve done all we can, when we’re at our wits end and even rock bottom nowhere to turn but in. For me, this is the kind of prayer that brings miracles.
Being a human and all…I forgot that with great change comes great discomfort. But what I didn’t understand was why I was undergoing such radical shifts? Hadn’t I done enough transforming and shifting?! Hadn’t I done enough clearing? I decided to do some investigating about this auspicious time, especially as my teacher once told me that it’s wise to map out my breakthroughs and I’ll see that typically right before a major breakthrough there is darkness and we experience difficult and uncomfortable times reminding me of the phrase, “it’s always darkest before the dawn.” From my very important YouTube research (where else do you go??) it seems that February 2022 is a time that’s highly anticipated by Lightworkers and the Spiritual community. It represents a time in history of great change, shifts and transformation! With this new insight I was able to shift my perspective from fear and victimhood to total faith and surrender that I was being prepared for a whole new paradigm. Matt Kahn shared his thoughts about February 2022, a time he has been waiting for for many years and he explains that “2022 represents a quantum leap out of the old spiritual paradigm and into a new spiritual paradigm of 5th dimension of unity consciousness… where all the gifts and benefits as what we know as abundance, opportunity, inspiration and flow tend to come to us miraculously.”
When we consider the numerology of February 2022 we see that it contains the energy of the number 2 and breaks down to 2222. When we add these numbers together we get the prime number 8 which represents confidence, self-empowerment, inner-strength, worthiness and wealth. 8 also reflects the infinity symbol which represents balance, ‘as above so below’. The number 8 challenges us to balance our inner reality with our outer reality. It restores balance so that our inner reality reflects our outer reality of self-empowerment, success and wealth. We may feel extra sensitive and triggered especially when it comes to our sense of self, self-worth and feeling good enough. This month brings the energy medicine needed to clear the way for our highest desires and dreams.
Usually when I’m feeling the fear of change I tend to ‘do the work’ from a place of unworthiness, like when I clear these energetic blocks then I’ll be able to manifest what I want, or once I heal my wounds I’ll be able to attract a more fulfilling life, and so on. We tend to blame ourselves for life not going our way and this becomes a cycle where the work is never done; we are always one more healing session away from the life we want. I was so resistant to more healing, undoing, feeling unworthy that I totally resonate with Matt Kahn’s insight. He says that we are “radically stepping out of karmic patterns”, the patterns where we do so much clearing on ourselves that through the law of karma we become stuck in a loop of clearing - just as we clear one pattern, another comes so we can repeat the cycle. “Instead of what is constantly in my way, what do I need to clear or even blaming ourselves for why life is the way it is, we step into the self-empowerment and higher vibration of a new spiritual paradigm.”
Matt explains that the focus for February 2022 is ‘Intentionality’ and below is a powerful affirmation for self-empowerment so we can break these karmic patterns:
“I intend from this moment forward to experience more of the Light within me and I allow it to transform me now.”
-Matt Kahn
We don’t live in a punishing Universe. We live in a rebalancing Universe. The sooner we are willing to let go of perceived control and surrender to a Higher Power, the sooner we move into alignment with our Highest Path. We do not live in a logical Universe and yet we still expect to know what’s going to happen or even why things happen as they do. Once I prayer (like really prayed) then I was able to return to the faith that everything is happening for me and not to me. Prayer is a sacred act of surrendering to Source, the Divine spark that dwells in each of us. Prayer is being willing to drop the ego’s idea of perfection and instead experience true perfection from a Source that knows us and our path a lot better than we do. It’s usually not until we have reached our limit, completely burnt out from trying to make something happen, to be better, to become more, that we reach a place of exhaustion and finally willing to give it all up. Then, magic can happen. Sometimes we hold on so tight to ‘what we think we want’ and when it doesn’t manifest we think we don’t deserve it, we’re not loved, not enough, or maybe Spirit isn’t listening. It’s not until we ‘let go’ of everything we think we want that we receive everything we never even knew possible! Your prayers are always answered, let go and let Spirit show off!
What are your anchors?
You know when you’re feeling worried or anxious about something and you’ve done all you can do, when you’ve taken all the action that you can possibly take and STILL nothing has changed?! When you are worn out, burnt out and depleted from the total worry about something that probably started as small and has now become this massive problem that you can’t stop thinking about. It’s not only taken over your mind, it’s sucking up all of your life force! And now still without resolution, you’re left feeling drained, tired, scared and no clue where to go from here. Sound familiar?
These issues and fears act as anchors in our life. They literally anchor our energy in a past or future scenario where we base our source of peace on an illusion. We begin to bargain with the Universe, “if this happens, then I’ll feel better” “once they say yes, then I’ll be happy”, “once I get that money, then I’ll relax” and so on. Being a human is hard. We battle with fears and doubts all the time, but for them to transform into anchors within our energy field, they require our energy; our sheer willingness to hang on to our anchors for dear life!
Our Qi (life force energy) is at it’s fullest in the present moment. When we drop our anchors and come back to the present moment also known as the ‘Here and Now’; we are free. The present moment contains Source energy; the vaster wisdom that provides infinite possibilities and creative solutions! All the great spiritual teachers spoke about the importance of living in the present moment and still thousands of years later we are still trying to live in the present moment. Sometimes to come back to the present moment (back to Source) we practice being still, whether that’s through meditation, yoga, journaling, breathwork, etc. For me, when I’m feeling the incredible weight of my anchors and even beginning to feel hopeless, I pray. Prayer is one of the most powerful and profound forms of healing because it’s filled with all-loving, all-knowing grace. When we’ve done all we can do it’s time to surrender to a power that is more wise, more loving and with a better view than us.
Prayer to drop your anchor(s)
Dear Universe / Source / God, Guardian Angels, Spirit Guides and my Higher Self,
I call on you now and ask that you surround me in your grace. I am scared. The weight of my fears and the challenges in my life have become so big I don’t know where to go or what to do. I ask that you please take my fears and heal them for my highest and greatest good and for the highest good of all. I completely surrender them to you and ask that in exchange you fill me with a deep sense of peace, trust and hope as you work behind the scenes bringing balance, harmony and love into all areas of my life. Please help me to let go of any energy anchoring me in illusion and bring me back to the present moment where I can be love with you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
The Universal Law of Request denotes that our angels and team in Spirit can only intervene with our permission! This means until we ask for help they’re unable to intervene. The moment you ask your team in Spirit for support they get to work immediately! Working to restore balance and bring us into alignment with our highest good. Trust that your Angels, Guides and Higher Self are all working behind the scenes to pave a new way for you! Allow yourself to relax into the knowing that your Higher Self has the wheel and get ready to receive blessings and solutions you never thought possible!
Ritual
If you prefer a ritual; something physical to help you fully release - write it down. Make a list of all your anchors; the fears, challenges, even your deepest wishes, hopes or dreams! They too can weigh us down and take our life force energy. Use post-it notes and fill each one with an anchor you’re ready to release. They don’t have to be only fears or negative things, if you’re desperately wanting a particular outcome whether in love, money, health, etc, you can surrender those too and ask that the outcome is blessed, healed, manifested OR that something even better happens. The best way to pray, in my opinion, is to let go of specifics and be flexible. Let your Team in Spirit show off! Let them show you how incredible things can be when you let go and let the Divine take the wheel.
To become more flexible and let go of specific outcomes, ask yourself:
What is the feeling I am hoping to experience?
What area of my life would benefit from transformation / a total reset?
What relationships need an injection of love, joy, or pleasure?
Examples of Prayer
In Love
I’m ready to experience more romance! Please guide me to the perfect places where I can meet the perfect person(s) for a more beautiful, passionate and romantic life. Please prepare me for a romantic partner and help me reawaken my own romantic, affectionate and sensual nature in a way that is gentle, organic and pleasurable.
In Friendship
Angels, you know me, you know my past and you know my future. Please help me to find my soul tribe / soul family and to have the courage to say hello. May my life be full of meaningful friendships where I feel seen, heard, loved and valued. Please send in authentic connections where my best self gets to be held. I’m ready to enjoy more fun, laughter, love and trust in my relationships.
In Career / work
I’m ready for a career/job/work/project that supports my authentic self! Please match me with work that is fulfilling, where I get to use my strengths, skills and talents for new levels of joy and satisfaction. I’m ready for a new experience in work where service and abundance go hand in hand. I say YES to a new reality where making a living is easeful, joyful, and purposeful. Please guide me to the perfect opportunity and help me have the courage to say yes, take action, and step up when it is time.
In Health
My body deserves lots of love, care and TLC right now. And I’m doing the best I can, but I need your assistance. I ask that my team in Spirit please intervene to gently bring me back into balance. I surrender my illness to you and ask that you bring me back into good health. I now accept your full and total love to pour into all layers of my aura and being. Please align my thoughts and actions with grace so that I heal on all levels and integrate new lessons of love, patience and care.
And so it is.
You are never alone. You always have your very own spark of the Divine within you and guiding you every step of the way. Your team in Spirit are always by your side, waiting for you to ask for help so they can swoop in and offer support! Surrender the anchors that weigh you down, release all burdens that take you away from the Light that you are.
