The Cycles of Life
No.08 - We're in the middle of a year of deep transformation. It's time to let go of what's not aligned to create space for change. It's a sacred, powerful preparation for the new book of life...
I want to start with a little ritual, a gift of presence…
From me, to me. From yourself, to yourself.
Let’s ground and connect with our heart space just for a moment.
If you feel called, pause, take a deep breath, breathe out. Maybe stretch your arms up in the air, yawn, tap your fingers gently over your chest and shake out your hands.
Releasing anything you’ve been holding on to today… This week… This year…
Rub your hands together to activate some energy and place your beautiful hands on your precious heart.
Close your eyes and take three deep breaths.
Be with your heart and stay here for as long as you need.
Feel the feelings that are coming up to the surface. Feel your heart, the sensations. Notice your body, the vessel of your soul. How are you and your heart? What’s alive in you right now? Can you hear the whispers of the heart? What are you longing for?
Just this short little moment, a gift of presence with you and your heart can have a huge impact. Maybe you got tears in your eyes of release, of remembering, or yawning when you relax or clear. This practice grounds us and signals to the nervous system that we’re safe. Regulating. A home coming to ourselves. Slowing down in this fast paced world is one of the most radical and important things we can do for us and our loved ones. For the world.
This is a reminder that you have access to this space all the time. Through all the cycles of life. And we’re living in and navigating many different cycles all the time, simultaneously. It’s like a dance and the heart is the portal from where we manifest life. I’m reading a book about the shamanic mysteries of Egypt and the title is “Awakening the healing powers of the heart” by Nicki Scully and Linda Star Wolf. I have a deep longing in my feminine heart to connect deeper to the ancient feminine mysteries and the teachings of the mystery schools of Egypt. To remember and invite more magic, ritual and sacred space into my life. To live and move through life in a way that is true to who I am. The intelligence of the heart reminds us of our purpose. So, it’s a powerful practice in these times of shedding of old layers, old ways and programming. To deepen our relationship with our heart and take aligned actions from that place.
To remember who we really are at heart.
To live with an open heart, to nourish our heart space and cultivate a deep relationship with our own heart creates the foundation to connect deeply with other people, to be open and be able to receive and give love and to access our creativity. To connect with source. To receive the beauty of life. To create and share beauty. To see the beauty all around us. The gold in the mundane. We manifest our true life from our heart portal. To keep it open and nourished is key. To listen to the whispers of our heart leads us to our soul’s true path.
Oh, hi, it’s me again. I’ve missed this space and I truly believe in divine timing so I trust that these words will find you in the perfect timing when you read it. It will activate and stir something within you if it’s meant to… It’s… like you’ve manifested this letter right now… something you are ready to receive.
I needed to take a step back and really be so present with life these couple of months, the first half of this year. I published my last letter in December last year and since then a lot has happened in my life, on the outside and the inside. It feels like I could write a book (or books?) about everything that I’ve experienced and so many times I’ve thought “this is a perfect topic and a deep dive for my letter”, “I need to write about this”, “I really need to share this”… Or, I want to create a retreat or a witchy womens circle around these experiences. To share, teach and co-create. Inspire other to remember the feminine codes of the heart. It’s been like a shamanic healing journey and every day I learn so much about myself. In March I started full time as a stylist at a company and being fully in that process, that new chapter and in life has required me to focus and not stretch myself more than I can handle. It’s been a ride and it’s been an emotional and physical, creative, transformative experience these couple of months. The pace and the intensity has been like never before. I’ve been through the fire so many times in my life and all those experiences reminds me of the true meaning of life now and helps me navigate these times. I will share more in next letter and take you with me on this journey, the essence of what I’ve learnt and remembered… I will try to weave the last couple of months into an inspiring tapestry. Maybe you can find some inspiration for your process through reading about mine… We’re all so connected. Mirrors for each other.
But, let’s start like this. With coming back to our hearts and I will set a strong intention with this space to share from my heart and inspire your to remember your true essence by sharing from a true place within me. And after many years of diving deep into life, spirituality, The Shamanic Medicine Wheel, the healing arts, fashion and inspiration as something deeper, reflecting our highest self, motherhood and relationships… I have a lot to share. I had no plan writing this letter today. But tonight was the night after a couple of days being home with a flu. It’s a clearing process. And from a spark of inspiration and the energies of the Full Moon the other day I had the feeling it was time to open up this space again for us. I’m just a vessel for these words, like a transmission. And if you’re open to receive, you will receive the energies, the codes between the lines too… And it will be felt after reading this, feeling this letter if you’re fully present reading it and soaking it in. Reflecting. Let it land. You will know.
I’m so very grateful that I have the tools to go through times of challenge and change and to know how to handle it. It’s an art form, to be in process, to alchemize challenging situations and find gold and learnings on the other side when we’re going through the fire… I’ve signed up for this to raise my consciousness. Everything I learn about myself and every aligned action I take takes me closer to my true path. The courage to be with what is, to witness and observe. To feel it all. A rainbow, the full spectrum of emotions. To have different perspectives at the same time and to see the higher meaning why things are playing out as they are. This is a process and a way of navigating life that was teached in the ancient mystery schools. I’m so commited to walk, to live this path and I have so much to share. Everything in divine timing.
And, I know that you’ve been going through a lot this year. You’ve made it. You should be so proud of you. You’re evolving. We’re always in a collective energy and what’s occurring in my life can be found, has been played out in your life too, just dressed in another manuscript, in another dress. The big themes of the year 9 in numerolgy, the year of the snake are death and rebirth. The cycles of Life. The cycles of nature, the sun, the moon and the cycle of astrology, the planets, the stars. Forever changing. Forever evolving, expanding and learning. New insights and new lessons every day. Leading us back to balance and divine right order. Leading us to our true, core essence and authentic self.
I’m a lover of new beginnings, a blank page in a new journal, notebook or a fresh calendar. New pages, endless opportunities and potential waiting to be written in the book of life. Chapter by chapter weaving our reality like golden threads. The tapestry of this human experience is unfolding in mystical, magical, sometimes hard but beautiful ways. It’s not easy but it’s a part of the manuscript of life. A process of remembering of why we’re here in this incarnation. To follow our intuition, passion and joy.
It’s time to come home to yourself again. Bring your energy back to you. Connect with your heart. It’s time to light that spark and connect with your core, your true essence. We’re becoming. Everything is possible.
Hold the vision, trust the process.
The Full Moon in Sagittarius 11th of June came in with so much expansion and truth. Full Moons illuminates. A clearing, a releasing. An initiation!
Home magic tips: De clutter and cleanse to invite the new. Create space for the energies to flow free.

We’re in this together. This is just the beginning of the shedding this year…
A year 9, anything unaligned has to go! Notice the intuitive downloads. Write them down. Take aligned actions in the direction of your dream, your highest path. Align the frequency of that version of you. Start living as her now. It’s about matching the frequency. Everything is energy. Everything is already here, in the quantum field.
You just have to tap into it.
Trust your wisdom. Embrace change and take exquisite care of yourself.
Point that arrow bravely in the way of the heart and watch the magic unfold!
Let’s talk about a new cycle beginning with the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere in next letter... Until then. Cut cords, release, de clutter, be emotional present with yourself. Weave the golden threads of your inner world. Create space for reflection and integration. Continue to clear space on the inside and the outside to prepare for inviting a new cycle when we’re going into the energies of summer solstice 21st of June…
With love, Josephine
