There are times in life when everything you’ve built starts to fall apart.
The job, the relationship, a version of you that used to feel right…suddenly, none of it fits anymore.
For a long time, I saw those moments as failure.
I thought something must be wrong with me.
But now I know they’re invitations…
They’re the soul’s way of saying, it’s time to remember who you are beneath it all.
And here’s something I used to get funny looks for…
When someone told me they’d separated, I’d say “Congratulations.”
I wasn’t happy they were hurting, I knew the COURAGE it takes to walk away from what’s no longer aligned. (I’m a divorcee too you know)
It takes guts to choose truth over comfort … to leave something familiar so you can be honest with yourself again.
That my friend, deserves to be honoured.
The Energy of These Times
If I could describe the energy so many of us are in right now, it’s a mix of The Emperor, Death, and the Three of Swords.
It’s the moment life strips everything back so you can rebuild from a deeper place.
The Emperor is that part of you that says, okay, I can hold myself through this.
It’s about taking your power back, creating boundaries and finding stability inside chaos.
Death is the letting go …the part where you surrender to what’s changing instead of fighting it.
It’s not the end – it’s clearing…the compost.
The quiet before something new grows.
And The Three of Swords… that’s the ache we feel when our heart breaks open.
It’s grief, disappointment, loss but it’s also how our heart expands.
It’s how we remember what really matters.
Together, these energies remind us that endings don’t break us… they remake us.
We rebuild stronger, softer, more real.
Whats The Lesson?
When life unravels, it’s not because you’re being punished.
It’s because your soul is rearranging things so you can come home to yourself.
The Emperor helps you stand tall,
Death gives you permission to release,
and the Three of Swords reminds you to keep your heart open, even when it hurts.
If everything’s falling apart right now, remember ..,you’re not being destroyed.
You’re being redesigned.
Let what’s ending go.
Cry if you need to.
Rest if you can.
You’ll rise again when you’re ready…wiser, steadier and more in your truth.
A Simple Reflection
Take a slow breath and place your hand on your heart.
Ask yourself:
“What truth am I finally ready to honour, even if it changes everything?”
You don’t need to figure it out right away.
Just let it sit. The answer will come when you’re ready to hear it.
A Reiki Ritual for Rebirth
- Light a candle.
- Take three slow breaths and whisper:
“I release what’s complete.
I call my energy back to me.
I’m ready for what’s next.” - Imagine a warm golden light filling your body…grounding you, strengthening you, reminding you that you’re safe to begin again.
If you’re moving through change right now and want to feel grounded again, my Reiki sessions this week are focused on transformation and renewal.
