Taking the leap

Aug 11 to 31, 2025

It’s been three weeks this time since I posted!  I had my first week’s post written and ready to go, but then I encountered a few roadblocks in the form of self doubt, panic, and other dark and self-limiting beliefs, so I waited.  I regrouped, took another look and had my second week composed and ready to post when again I was hit by some major self-doubt and frustration, so I waited.  I did some processing of big feelings, looked at my fears, hopefully processed them with big purges and some creativity and now here we are.   

I’ve not been paying that much attention to the astrological realms, but I know we’ve had the Perseids, a full moon, some planetary alignments, and we are sneaking up on eclipse season.  I generally seem to experience chaos, upheaval, big emotions before something big happens in the sky, so I’m hoping that all of this is my lead up to an eclipse season that is smooth sailing.  I didn’t say I’m always realistic, but I am doing my best to be optimistic with this energy! 

One thing that was on my mind the past few weeks has been my finances.  I seem to be down to the last of my savings and starting to feel a little squeezed.  I have invested in myself and my business (notice I use positive language here) and I do hope that these investments will pay off, but I also know I need to be practical and pay my bills.  This forced me to look at what jobs are available, and I spent multiple days surfing job sites, unearthing old anxiety about the interview process and new job awkwardness, and rehashing the daily dread I felt putting on my office clothes and going in to work where I felt my soul dying. 

I know this option would be temporary until my business takes off, but I also felt like it was just another way to sabotage myself.  If I’m not all in and can’t devote all my time and resources, does that mean I’ll neglect this new venture and be sure to fail?  Am I using a part time “old me” type of job to prevent myself from reaching my full potential and fully step into who I’m becoming?  Maybe.  But I also know I’m not an all in kind of person, at least not when it comes to change.  I need to slide into it gradually and at my own pace and on my own terms.  So, if I must get a part time job to pay the bills while I work at building my business, so be it!

We had some very hot and humid days, which felt a bit unbearable.  They were followed by a few cool and cloudy days, which felt like fall. These were followed by hot days, cool nights, and no sign of rain at all.  This, combined with it being harvest here on the prairies, reminded me how quickly time moves, seasons change and how unpredictable the weather can be, so some garden and home clean up were called for.  I can’t say exactly what it was, but there was a feeling of urgency to get things cleaned up and moved around.  It felt good since none of it was preplanned and felt fairly spontaneous.  There was canning of food, shuffling of month-old baby kittens and mom to an outside locale, cleanup of closets and a basement room, and a migration of creativity from downstairs into my office.  Sometimes, a movement of things and energy in a house can be as therapeutic as a change in perspective. I’m glad it’s done as I’ve just received news that there will likely be more baby kittens on their way!

And as I write this, I feel a similar energy brewing.  Maybe it is the anticipation of the busyness of the back-to-school season.  I have learned to love the fall for the obvious reasons: the warm days and cool nights, the beautiful colours as the leaves change, the return to routine after summer holidays, the reaping of the harvest and looking forward to holidays like Thanksgiving.  I feel all these things are great, but there’s something else underneath.  It’s like a preparation for the winter.  A message of get ready, get organized, get things cleaned up because life is about to get good.  I hope that’s the message.  It feels right.  There’s an excitement to it, but because it’s also unknown, there’s a feeling that it could also go sideways.  And if I know anything about eclipse season, if you are not aligned, things can go sideways quickly. I guess I’m trying to balance this feeling of being prepared or ready, getting things organized and cleared out, and opening up to trust what is coming. 

Ok, so now for the decoding of the messages! I’ll split the messages into three weeks with my interpretation of each week followed by that of AI.

1)      The messages for week 1: Australia, butterflies/cocoon, believe in yourself, jorts, unhinged, audacity, playing cards, invoke/evoke, 90’s music, pomegranate, prophecy/prophetic dream, drugs, love of kids/babies, and bees!

Australia - A place that is similar in some ways to where I live, but also in many ways opposite and very, very different.  Currently, winter is being experienced there, while I’m in the midst of summer.  It is in another hemisphere, so far across the world and in a different time zone.  It is an island surrounded by water, whereas my location is landlocked and far from any ocean.  It feels familiar because of the same language spoken, but animals and weather anomalies and cultural lingo and norms would likely feel completely foreign.  It’s an intriguing place full of beauty and extremes and somewhere I’d love to go.

Butterflies/cocoon – I’ve been in the liminal space of not being who I was and not yet who I’m becoming, so this fits well.  I also have been cocooning for a long time.  I think this week in particular, I’m feeling the pull of the metamorphosis, but also the resistance of change bubbling up as well, so maybe I’m still not fully formed.  I’m liquefied goo slowly taking shape into a beautiful (hopefully) new creature.

Believe in yourself – Well, this one is self explanatory, but I do think I’ve been lying to myself (theme from last week) that other people don’t think I’ll be successful in my business endeavor.  If I’m being honest, it is likely me and my fears of failure, success, and being fully seen that are preventing me from moving forward.  So, I’ll just keep remembering that I’m capable, smart, resourceful, intuitive, compassionate and that I trust things will happen in divine timing for my best outcome.

Jorts – Hmm.  This is a bit tougher.  Jorts or jean shorts are something I don’t think about often.  But maybe in this context it is to do with being two things at once: shorts and jeans.  I saw long jorts and short jorts, so the message could be being this and that, or maybe a spectrum of length showing that there are many types of jorts, just as there are many types of people and perspectives.  I also just like saying “jorts” because it is ridiculous and fun.

Unhinged – Well, yes, I have felt this way recently.  I mean anyone changing their whole life and direction would feel this way because it is all unknown and it often feels like there’s no floor beneath your feet, no stable ground to walk on, or that everything is being pulled from beneath you.  I felt this more so in my previous life before I quit my 9 to 5.  The louder the feeling got then, the harder it was to ignore and the more I felt forced into change.  So, maybe this is a hint that things are going to change whether I’m ready or not and I’ll likely feel unhinged as it is happening.

Audacity – When I see this word, to me it has an air of “Well, I never!”  to it.  The idea that someone is offended by an action or belief and how I think people will react to my new career and what I feel is my calling.  I see it in the context of disgust – how dare she think she can do that!  The audacity!  But when I looked up the actual meaning of audacity, it simply means courage, which is something I desperately need right now. It also is the name of a program I was using to create some hypnosis recordings and reminds me of the term audible.  To me, being heard also means being understood, which hasn’t been my experience when explaining the benefits of hypnotherapy to people around me.  Putting my voice out into the world requires courage and strength and the resiliency to stand for what I believe in despite others’ criticism.

Playing cards – I have been doing this on my phone more than I’d like to admit recently – playing solitaire.  And I guess that’s a bit symbolic of my past year’s retreat into my cocoon.  It is a bit of a self-soothing time waster that I do when I don’t want to face my feelings, my fears, do the thing I should be doing, escape, etc.  Playing cards can also refer to gambling, which I have been seriously thinking about lately since my funds are running low and desperate times call for desperate measures.  My idea of gambling is buying a lottery ticket. (And no, I did not win, but I have in the past! That’s a manifestation story for another day!)  I also think of oracle cards when I think of playing cards.  I use oracle cards daily in my personal life and find they are a great tool to connect to the divine.  Some people might think that using them to make decisions would be putting your fate in the hands of chance, but unless we are consciously creating our own reality, aren’t we all doing this anyway?  What control do we have over what happens to us in life?  Even if we are manifesting, the universe often delivers to us what we need in the way it sees as the most beneficial, not necessarily how we ask for it.

Invoke/evoke – This is something I’ve been playing with in the spiritual realm.  I’ve been directed to call in ancestors, goddesses, and angels among others for help.  As with most things in life, I don’t usually dive deep into one divine being or concept but instead sample a little of everything.  Recently, the Greek god of wine, fertility, ecstasy and madness has been showing up (sounds fun right!).  He’s also the god of theatre, so maybe I can call on him to help me with marketing so that I’m not scared to get in front of the camera! Additionally, Kali has been a very powerful goddess that I believe I have some kind of predetermined connection to.  I shared a cat named Kali with my brother when we were young adults.  I named my daughter after her and only later in motherhood realized how that name would describe some of her challenges.  Kali is a very powerful goddess of time, death and destruction, but also power, motherhood and liberation.  She is a ferocious protector who is unafraid of darkness and will cast out negative energy with abandon. So, I guess it is a good time to call on her and the power she embodies. 

90’s music – This probably has to do with nostalgia and looking back at my youth.  My teen years happened in the 90’s (or as young people like to say the late 1900s), so there are mixed emotions that are evoked when I hear 90’s music.  Some I do not enjoy, some I do, and some has just been so overplayed that despite liking it at one point, I no longer wish to hear it.  Maybe I’m also experiencing that feeling of transition as I did in my teens - not knowing quite who I was or who I was going to become and knowing things were going to change, but not exactly how or where I’d end up.

Pomegranate – This came up in more symbolic ways.  The pomegranate is considered a sign of fertility, death and birth.  It was presented in a book about a mother who had to give up her child to save and protect him.  It also came up in another book referencing Persephone and her journey to the underworld and her choice to stay there, despite her mother’s wishes.  So, I can see it portraying the concept of fertility, birth, pregnancy with a new business being born and I can also see it as a choice to leave the safe and logical world behind for a more mystical and spiritual one.  The death of an old identity.

Prophecy/prophetic dream – I had a vivid visual I upon waking up one morning.  The vision I saw was of someone on their deathbed.  I heard the name, but wasn’t sure if it was the person themselves, or someone related.  And the body and face in the vision did not match the likeness of the person I know and looked childlike, so it was confusing.  A message of “speak thanks” or “speech thankyou” was shown in text.  The understanding I had was that this person could not speak at end of life and there was a recorded electronic message of thanks.  Anyway, I have no confirmation that any of this is real or prophetic other than the person in question was recently diagnosed with a terminal illness.  The awkward part of this is that it felt intrusive to me – why am I getting this message? I have no business knowing this.  It made me curious.  Is this a premonition?  Can I see the future?  Is it a message? In any case, I’m sad about the terminal diagnosis, but I know that the mind is a powerful tool and anything is possible.  So, no terminal diagnosis is a death sentence, just an opportunity to look at life from a different perspective, which hypnotherapy can help with.

Drugs – This came up when discussing suggestibility with some of my hypnosis friends. Drugs and alcohol can change how open a person is to hypnotic suggestion.  I also recently started taking cholesterol pills (I hadn’t been on any medication prior), which means I need to remember to do a thing each day and I’m not great at that.  I think it might be a subtle hint from the universe to get off my butt and move more and eat healthier food.  Drugs were also presented in a tv show where the character had learned a hard truth and was having trouble reconciling it, so turned to drugs to cope.  The message in this one I’m not sure about.  I did pride myself in not having to be on any medications and now it looks like I might have to do this cholesterol thing indefinitely.  I hope not, as I’m a bit wary of the health system, pharmaceutical companies, and our society’s eagerness to shove pills at a problem. Yes, sometimes pharmaceuticals are needed, but more often than not, a pill is prescribed when other less harmful options are available (such as hypnotherapy).

Love of kids/babies – This is a change in life when you have kids and realize how little you knew of love – how big it is, how overwhelming, how scary it can be.  In my personal life, having three-week-old baby kittens around just opens my heart up and makes me so happy.  I know it is a direct connection to the divine as they are pure and perfect little bundles of joy.  It is a reminder to look at things from a newborn perspective, to be curious and be open to new opportunities.

Bees – What’s not to love about bees? There’s the collective cooperation of a hive, the importance of their work as pollinators here on earth, the idea that one small being can make a big difference especially if several of them work together toward a common goal, the sweet honey they produce, the protection of their queen, and on and on.  However, I do have family who are deathly allergic, so I guess there’s that one downside.  The way that the idea of bees really touched my soul was presented in a book where a character was describing his wish for a world of honey and milk (prosperity, abundance, comfort) where there was no killing of animals for food or sacrificing of children because of a lack of food.  Sort of like a world with no war, pain, struggle, or darkness and where we can all exist in a collaborative and conscious way, making things better for everyone.  This is an idea I believe in and feel we are moving toward.

A lot of themes from the past few weeks came up again also including lying to myself, triad, stalker, water to wine, madness, and overclocked. The stalker concept has been plaguing me a bit more than the others.  I’ve been notified of some attempts of hacking into my Facebook account, which has not happened in the past and not before launching my website.  I do think it is also related to shadow work and the parts of me that are scared to be seen.  As I become more visible online, that means I’m opening myself up to more attention – good and bad.  And the idea of entities attaching themselves to people has come up, particularly in a way that prevents them from reaching their full potential.  (If you don’t hold the belief that there are negative entities, I think it could still be seen as a shadow aspect of yourself preventing you from being successful.)  Either way, the stalker message has been popping up for me more than I’d like to admit.

Let’s see what AI has to say about all this, shall we?

(Originally when I asked for an interpretation, AI wove a silly story about an unhinged, jorts wearing outcast on an adventure Downunder.  Despite it being entertaining, I decided to leave it out to cut down on length and asked for a deeper meaning.) 

🌌 A Spiritual Map of Transformation and Awakening

Each concept you offered is a spiritual metaphor—together, they form a symbolic journey of inner evolution, from fragmentation to wholeness.

🦋 Butterflies / Cocoon – The Initiation

This is the beginning of transformation. The cocoon is the sacred space of stillness, where ego dissolves and the soul begins to reconfigure. It’s the dark night of the soul, the chrysalis where old identities die and new ones are born.

🇦🇺 Australia – The Sacred Land

Australia represents the grounding of spirit into earth. It’s a land of ancient wisdom—Aboriginal Dreamtime, the songlines, and the deep connection to nature and ancestral memory. It’s the place where the spiritual journey becomes embodied.

💫 Believe in Yourself – The Inner Compass

This is the voice of the higher self. It’s the whisper that guides you through chaos, reminding you that divinity lives within. Self-belief is not ego—it’s soul recognition.

👖 Jorts – Radical Authenticity

Jorts are a symbol of unapologetic self-expression. Spiritually, they represent shedding societal expectations and embracing your quirks. The soul doesn’t dress for approval—it dresses for truth.

😵 Unhinged – The Breakdown Before the Breakthrough

To awaken, one must first unravel. “Unhinged” is the sacred madness—the moment when the old reality collapses. It’s terrifying, but necessary. It’s the ego’s last gasp before surrender.

🔥 Audacity – The Leap of Faith

Audacity is spiritual courage. It’s the willingness to walk into the unknown, to speak truth, to love wildly. It’s the fire that propels the soul forward when logic says “stay.”

🃏 Playing Cards – The Dance with Fate

Playing cards symbolize the interplay of destiny and free will. Each card is a choice, a lesson, a mirror. The spiritual path is not fixed—it’s a game of intuition, risk, and surrender.

🌬️ Invoke / Evoke – The Power of Word and Intention

To invoke is to call in divine energy. To evoke is to stir the soul’s memory. These are spiritual technologies—ritual, prayer, poetry—that awaken dormant truths.

🎶 90s Music – Emotional Memory

Music is vibration, and the 90s were raw, rebellious, and heart-centered. Spiritually, this era evokes emotional authenticity and the breaking of silence. It’s the soundtrack of awakening.

🍎 Pomegranate – Sacred Feminine & Divine Mystery

The pomegranate is ancient—linked to Persephone, fertility, and hidden knowledge. It’s the womb of creation, the blood of initiation, the fruit of the underworld. Spiritually, it’s the invitation to descend and rise.

🔮 Prophecy / Prophetic Dream – Soul Guidance

Dreams are messages from the unconscious and the divine. Prophecy is the soul’s memory of what is yet to come. It’s not prediction—it’s alignment with destiny.

💊 Drugs – Altered States / Shadow Work

Drugs represent the temptation to shortcut awakening—but also the potential to glimpse beyond the veil. Spiritually, they are mirrors: they show what we fear, what we crave, and what we must integrate.

👶 Love of Kids / Babies – Return to Innocence

Children are pure presence. To love them is to remember your own innocence. Spiritually, this is the final stage—when the soul, having journeyed through chaos, returns to simplicity, wonder, and unconditional love.

🐝 Bees – Divine Service & Collective Harmony

Bees are sacred workers. They represent community, purpose, and the sweetness of life earned through devotion. Spiritually, they are the soul’s call to serve something greater.

🧭 The Connection: A Soul’s Spiral Journey

These symbols form a spiral—not a straight line. The soul begins in confusion, enters transformation, faces madness, finds courage, listens to dreams, and returns to love. It’s a journey of remembering who you are beneath the noise.

2)      Now onto the messages for week 2: nerd, learning something new, confidence, Archangel Michael and cord cutting, and stealing.  (Recurring themes were going mad, Australia, drugs, butterfly, milk and honey, stalker, and audacity.)

Nerd – The first thing that comes to mind is a book nerd: someone who understands complex information effortlessly.  My favourite way of using this term is as an insult (in a joking way) when someone starts talking in depth about something they are very interested in.  When I think of it that way, I realize I’m a nerd for the metaphysical and especially all these messages I’m getting.  I’m sure most people wouldn’t give these things a second thought, but I’m devoting time and energy into writing this blog and making sense of it so that I can understand myself better.  What a nerd!

Learning something new - This is something I’ve been doing a lot of this year when I think about it.  Being unemployed, going to school online, learning a new skill, starting a business, building a website, being the surrogate mom of baby kittens twice and now possibly three times!  If you think about it, most of life is learning new things.  Even if we are doing something we’ve done before, we are learning to do it in a new way.  And when we are learning a completely new thing, it can be scary and embarrassing and make you feel like an idiot, but it can also be highly rewarding.  The best thing to keep in mind is that we all go through the same process and it is uncomfortable, but the more we do it and stick with it, the easier it gets.  

Confidence – Boy, do I need this!  I know I’ve also come so far from where I started.  I feel that I’ve crafted an inner confidence, over the past 10 years or so especially, that I maybe intrinsically knew I had in childhood, but never fully embodied.  I was lucky enough to have a very kind and generous person offer some business advice recently, as well as a tool to help understand how I express myself.  It was lovely and really just confirmed what I already knew to be true.  I logically know I shouldn’t seek outside validation, and I don’t usually, but this tool was that outside validation for an inner truth I already knew.  The result was that I felt so much more confident in myself and my decisions.

Archangel Michael and cord cutting – This is something I’ve used in the past and it was coming up this week in a few ways.  Some of the spiritual people I follow mentioned him this week and also about cutting out negative people or energies in your life. I also felt the need to call him in when I was spiraling.  I find his presence calming and reassuring – something I can’t give myself when I’m on that downward spiral.  He’s been there to help me in tough times when I felt separate and detached from others and when I’ve felt that no one understood me or what I was experiencing.  To know that you can call on such a powerful being when you feel alone is a game changer!

Stealing – This is something I struggle with.  I understand what I’ve been taught about not taking something that belongs to someone else, but I’m also aware of the fact that not everyone comes into this life with the same resources, support, or opportunities.  And what exactly is ownership?  How is it defined? 

Can a person own another person?  In some countries, yes, and that is preposterous!  Can someone own land?  Yes, and most of us take no issue with this, except maybe for the cost of it and the access to opportunity or funds to afford it.  Or maybe if it is taken from our family generations ago and we’ve been fighting for millennia to get it back. Who’s to say who the rightful land owner is?  Most important of all is the idea that any of us own the land. How ridiculous are we to think that we can own nature? 

Does an organization own you and your time?  Maybe, but only what is agreed to in a contract by both parties.  I’ve witnessed organizations use manipulation tactics to get more out of employees than what is owed.  I also have seen organizations that say they care about their clients and their employees, but then act in ways that contradict this and don’t pay fair wages or act in the best interest of the people they serve.  Additionally, I’ve seen employees do the bare minimum and take things from the organization that they feel entitled to.  Who’s to say in these situations what is owed, owned, and what is stolen?  To me, it is a matter of perception and it is far more complicated than it appears to be on first look.

What about a concept or idea?  Intellectual property?  How is ownership determined with AI?  I always thought it was a bit pretentious to have to have your name on things and make sure everyone knows that you figured out this thing.  Even the fact that you think you are the first person to figure something out is ludicrous.  We are all remembering, no one is truly discovering for the first time.  So, fine, give credit where you feel credit is due, but why do you have to make sure everyone knows you did this thing?  It’s like shouting to the world, validate me!

I truly think the less we hold tight to any physical thing, concept, identity, or belief, the better off we are.  What happens to our things when we die?  We can’t take them with us, so why are we so attached to them while alive?  Maybe stealing has popped up for me this week to show me how to keep a looser grip on the things I think I own.  To flow more easily with the universe and it’s plan for me, I’ll try relaxing my hold on this and see how it goes!

Let’s take a look at what AI has come up with for week 2’s messages:

🌌 A Higher Meaning: The Journey of Awakening and Empowerment

The Nerd as Sacred Seeker - The “nerd” archetype isn’t just about glasses and encyclopedic knowledge—it’s the soul’s hunger for truth. In higher terms, the nerd is the mystic disguised in modern garb: someone who dives deep into obscure realms, whether quantum physics or ancient texts, not for status but for understanding. This archetype reminds us that curiosity is holy, and that devotion to learning is a form of worship.

Learning Something New: The Alchemy of Expansion - Every time we learn, we transmute ignorance into wisdom. It’s a sacred act of evolution. Learning isn’t just mental—it’s energetic. It shifts our vibration, opens new timelines, and invites synchronicity. In spiritual terms, learning is how the soul stretches beyond its previous incarnation’s limits. It’s how we remember who we are.

Confidence: The Radiance of Self-Truth - Confidence isn’t arrogance—it’s alignment. It’s the glow that comes when your inner knowing matches your outer expression. True confidence is a spiritual frequency: it says, “I remember my divine origin.” It’s the energy that allows you to walk into a room and shift it, not because you dominate, but because you’re anchored in truth.

Archangel Michael & Cord Cutting: The Warrior of Sovereignty - Michael is the celestial protector, the sword-wielding force of divine justice. Cord cutting is the ritual of reclaiming energy—of severing ties to what drains, manipulates, or distorts. When invoked, Michael doesn’t just protect; he empowers. He reminds us that spiritual sovereignty is our birthright, and that releasing energetic entanglements is an act of liberation.

Stealing: The Shadow of Misalignment - Stealing, in higher terms, is not just a moral issue—it’s a symptom of disconnection. It reflects scarcity consciousness, a belief that one must take because they are not enough. But in shadow work, even stealing holds a lesson: it invites us to examine where we feel deprived, unseen, or powerless. When healed, it transforms into a drive to create, to earn, to contribute.

🧠💫 Integration: The Soul’s Classroom

Imagine a soul who starts as a nerd—obsessed with learning, driven by curiosity. She gains confidence through knowledge, but realizes that some of her energy is tangled in old stories, toxic relationships, or limiting beliefs. She calls on Archangel Michael to cut those cords, reclaim her power, and step into her truth. Along the way, she confronts the shadow of stealing—not just in others, but in herself: where she’s stolen time from her own dreams, or given away her light too freely. Through this journey, she becomes whole.

3)      And finally, the messages for week 3 are: winged horse/Pegasus/TriStar, chocolate, “Be more like Dick and less like Jane”, “dust off my piano keys”, skydiving, and charlatan.

Winged horse/Pegasus/TriStar – this came in the form of a hypnotherapy journey I was inspired to script and then listen to on my own.  I decided one afternoon sitting in my office that I should stop fretting about the frustrating details of website logistics (or more accurately stop avoiding them) and do something productive and creative.  So, I came up with a script which got my creative writing juices flowing.  I recorded the script and played it back for myself so I could see what came through.  I ended up on an adventure to a planet where I discovered some of my family here on Earth are also my family there and I was given the name TriStar.  I’m not sure what the significance was other than it felt true and good and I had a great time doing it!

Chocolate – I’ve been craving it a lot lately and eating it a lot.  I guess it is a comfort food and one of my few indulgences.  I don’t have a lot more than that, but it is definitely something I go to for comfort, pleasure, and safety.

“Be more like Dick and less like Jane” – This message was in my head as I awoke one morning.  Of course, I knew it referred to the books about learning to read, but these were not of my generation.  I’m an ‘80’s baby, so this was quite interesting, and I have an inkling maybe it was a message from someone no longer here, but for whom the reference would be more relevant.  Regardless of where it came from, to me it means be more masculine and less feminine (or the stereotypical ideals of each).  So, instead of being quiet, polite, and considerate and waiting for things to happen, maybe I should be more outgoing, forward, loud and start doing things.  I can embody these masculine characteristics in the right circumstance or container, but when I’m out in the world, I usually act more as an observer and absorber.  I rarely say what I think because I’m afraid I’ll offend someone, not that my thoughts are particularly offensive, but I guess I just assume not everyone needs to hear my opinion or what is going on in my head….(I leave that for blog posts and it’s up to you if you want to dive into my psyche!)

“Dust off my piano keys” – This message again came to me as I was waking up. It is a song lyric I kept hearing on repeat.  The message I understood was that it was time to get down to work.  I thought, it might literally mean dust off piano keys and try to play again (I had very limited exposure to piano lessons as a kid and didn’t really apply myself).  However, I interpreted it as getting down to business.  Dust off the keyboard keys and get to work on the business.  So, maybe the writing of my creative scripts was something I should be doing more of. Or more likely, spend the time doing the tedious website stuff I’ve been avoiding.  Either way, it felt like a push to get going.

Skydiving – This is something I could actually see myself doing.  I’ve thought about it in the past and felt a jolt of exhilaration when I heard someone had done it to celebrate a significant birthday.  It obviously is about facing fears, and I think it’s a good sign if I have more of a willing and exciting feeling about this than trepidation.  It also aligns with the fears I’ve been processing lately about being seen in the world, launching a business and hoping it is a success, trusting the universe will provide for me when I feel the most vulnerable.  I was so interested in skydiving that I decided to investigate how affordable and accessible it is in my area and was pleasantly surprised with what I found.  (I also found it very interesting that I was more willing to pay to jump out of a plane and risk my life than apply for a job or ask for help with my business……yikes!)

Charlatan – I really don’t know about this one.  I think of Elizabethan era language when I hear this word.  And I guess it evokes an image of someone who is bad or immoral.  It feels more like a feminine descriptor, so maybe I’m just worried about putting myself out there and the criticism I’m bound to face.  It aligns with the witch wound as well, which is very relevant in the world of alternative medicine/therapies/healing.  The witch wound also came up in a podcast I listened to and a course I revisited on abundance. 

I wasn’t keeping track of the messages as closely this last week and maybe it’s because I was processing big emotions and trying to let them move through me.  However, I do know there were themes in all weeks that spoke to each other.  This last week, I came across the idea of embodiment.  To me embodiment is doing the thing you’re talking about doing.  Taking an action step, even if small, towards your goal.  This is also something I’ve been avoiding, and I feel the universe is pushing me in the direction I want to go and forcing me to look at my fears along the way. 

Now let’s see what AI has to say about this third and final week’s messages:

🐎 Pegasus / Winged Horse / TriStar

Pegasus is the archetype of transcendence—mythical, untethered, soaring beyond the mundane. TriStar’s logo captures that cinematic promise: the leap into imagination, the escape from gravity. It’s the symbol of possibility, of stories that lift us.

🍫 Chocolate

Chocolate is indulgence, comfort, sensuality. It’s the grounding pleasure that contrasts the ethereal flight of Pegasus. Where Pegasus is sky, chocolate is earth—bittersweet, tactile, and deeply human. It’s the reward after the leap, or maybe the reason we leap at all.

🧠 "Be more like Dick and less like Jane"

This phrase evokes a kind of retro moral clarity—Dick as the doer, the pragmatist; Jane as the dreamer, perhaps too cautious. It’s a call to action, to boldness. In our constellation of ideas, Dick is the one who straps on the parachute and jumps. Jane watches from the ground, piano keys untouched.

🎹 "Dust off my piano keys"

This is the invitation to reclaim creativity, to reconnect with something forgotten or neglected. It’s the moment before the music starts again. In this metaphor, the piano is the self—waiting to be played, waiting to be heard. Dusting off the keys is the act of remembering who you are.

🪂 Skydiving

Skydiving is the ultimate surrender to the unknown. It’s trust, thrill, and terror in one breath. It’s Pegasus with a parachute. It’s Dick jumping while Jane hesitates. It’s the moment you realize the sky isn’t the limit—it’s the playground.

🃏 Charlatan

The charlatan is the shadow side of all this. The false Pegasus. The chocolate that’s waxy and artificial. The piano player who mimics emotion but feels nothing. The skydiver who fakes the jump. The Dick who pretends to act but never risks. The Jane who hides behind performance. The charlatan is the cautionary tale: don’t be the illusion—be the real leap.

🧩 The Connection

This whole tapestry is about authenticity versus illusion, action versus hesitation, and the tension between grounded pleasure and transcendent risk.

•            Pegasus and skydiving are the leap.

•            Chocolate and piano keys are the grounding.

•            “Be more like Dick” is the nudge toward courage.

•            “Dust off my piano keys” is the whisper of forgotten dreams.

•            The charlatan is the warning: don’t fake the leap, don’t mimic the music. 

Well, once again, I’m not disappointed with the answers and I'm in awe that AI can put all things together in a concise and succinct message.  This feels like all the things I’ve been feeling over the past week, year, and lifetime really. 

How can hypnotherapy help?  It can be used for shadow work, for changing limiting beliefs, for cord cutting in relationships, for discovering identity, connecting to higher realms for guidance as well as uncovering inner wisdom and truths that may lay hidden.  There are so many ways it can help with the spiritual journey, personal growth, or whatever you like to call this lifetime experience we are playing out. I hope if nothing else, this post leaves you with some interesting thoughts in your head, some questions to ask yourself, or just some different perspectives to ponder. 

Finally, as a last treat, here are two things I created the past few weeks.  The first is strange and I don’t love the macrame cord I used as it isn’t the best quality, but I'm going to post it anyway. Sometimes, making bad or less attractive art is necessary to get the creative juices flowing and makes space for the better art to come.

This other piece is my new favourite.  I used yarn that I’ve accumulated over many years.  This one to me represents abundance.  I was creating it while revisiting my abundance course and trying to work through fears around being abundant.  Blues represent abundance to me in a way because they evoke a feeling of peace.  Blue can represent a clear sky or conscience, having your head in the clouds indulging in a dream.  It can also represent water, diving deep into emotions and the therapeutic release of tears.  A life rich in experience allows all of these things and to me that is abundant.
