The 9 Human Design Centers – Two More Than Before

In the Human Design Chart model, we all have 9 energy centers or Chakras. This is two more than the Hindu Chakra model of 7 Chakras.

The Heart Chakra now has its own little triangular area on the right-hand side. In my illustration above, it’s pumping out Willfulness and Desire – the arrow and the heart.

Splitting off from that, we have a NEW Chakra called the GPS, Self, or Identity Chakra. On the illustration, it’s the diamond-shaped Chakra in the middle of the chart with the satellite dish inside.

And finally, there is a SPLEEN Chakra. It’s the triangle on the lower left side that has ‘Game On’ inside it. That makes nine Human Design centers.

Why Do We Have 9 Chakras, Now? The Piscean Age Had 7…

According to data recorded as Human Design Centers in our charts, we genetically mutated into 9-chakra beings in the 1780s. This was also known as the last Golden Age.

We have continued to struggle with our old 7 Chakra ways of doing things in the world. There are now new potentials that being a 9-centered being offers us.

In the sense of 7-Chakra behavior, which was all about the Piscean age, we aligned strongly with: –

• Fixed roles and established structure.
• The age of engineering.
• Dominance and rulership.
• Organized religion.

The Potentials Latent Within 9 Centered Humans

So, we have the potential to work with 9 human design centers – or Chakras – right now.

However, we are still adjusting to those abilities. This is because we still habitually resonate with our long-term genetic inheritance of being 7-centered beings.

With 9 Human Design Centers, we have the potential to move away from: –

• Fixed roles and structure: towards creating a freer society with more options.
• Polluting the planet: using our engineering and technological skills to create alternative energy resources for the common good.
• Replaying the old power-over models of leadership: create new governmental structures and global political approaches – replacing the old feudal systems. Dictatorship is nothing new.
• Repressing people with overly restrictive religious views: being able to express our religious views or spiritual views freely and without judgment, as long as they don’t cause harm to others.

The Fifth Root Race and Nine Chakras – What Next?

Edgar Cayce, a famous Akashic Records Reader in the USA, predicted this change in his own words. He didn’t know about Human Design in his lifetime (1877-1945).

Cayce foresaw a transition toward humans he called ‘the Fifth Root Race’. He predicted people being born who: –

• Perceive unity rather than division.
• Awaken latent intuitive and psychic faculties.
• Live with greater alignment between soul and body.
• Understand themselves as co-creators with the divine.

He saw the Fifth Root Race creating a frequency shift in awareness.

In modern-day terms, if you are on a spiritual journey, you may recognize some of the above energetic experiences. You may already be on the path of alignment with your 9 Human Design centers.

9 Chakras Do Create a Different Dynamic

As we spiritually awaken, we realize that many of our old human ways are outdated and need to be released. The struggle comes when people hold onto the old ways of relating. This has continued because there is a huge focus on survival fears and a need to dominate to feel safe.

Part of this desire for release, and the associated fear of it, is demonstrated in modern discussions online. For example, the many discussions of patriarchal versus matriarchal societal roles and approaches.

Leaning Into 9 Human Design Centers

Once we lean into our 9-Centered selves through our Human Design centers, we can accelerate our frequency shift through: –

The Heart and Self – Separating Will and Desire

Separating Will and Desire from the previously central Heart Chakra to create a stronger sense of Self, Identity, and direction.

The Human Design Self Center is also identified as having a crystal inside it. This crystal is part of the system of the Akashic Records. In all of us, it has formed since birth, and is called the Magnetic Monopole. Tuning into this crystal to help us with future decision-making, since it operates just like a modern GPS.

We can use this new energetic awareness to be drawn towards the correct choices for us.

We will receive more clarity around this once we know ourselves and our wills and desires better. This can be learned through energetic study and alignment.

The Spleen Chakra – The Dolphin of the Human Design Centers

Biologically speaking, the spleen stores and filters blood and makes white blood cells that protect you from infection.

From an energetic perspective, the Spleen has an auditory or sonic quality, like a dolphin. People can often ‘sniff’ out danger or fear through their Spleen Chakras.

Combining a new awareness of Self with the Spleen will help us all to understand our motivations. Identifying our fears is the first step on this path.

As evolving humans, we need to learn to relate and resolve differences through processes that don’t require war for resolution.

Learning to Decode Our Emotions Through The Solar Plexus Chakra

Learning to decode our emotional drivers. Through the development of our Solar Plexus Chakra, we’ll be able to lean into sensing, feeling, and interpreting our emotions. Over time, we’ll also increase our ability to sense others’ emotions.

Our unconscious drives will become clearly understood through a deeper emotional connection. We will ultimately be able to relate to the emotions of others telepathically. This is already happening for some people. Currently, through the 7-Center model, we rely on verbal checking and visual cues.

This will radically change how humans relate to each other, since motivations and ideas can’t be hidden or controlled once they can be read.

Discover Your Chart, And Unique Vibrational Chakra Pattern

Based on your birth data, you will have a unique chart and vibrational Chakra Pattern.

Learning which Chakras or Human Design Centers are Defined (colored in) will help you to understand your energy.

In your chart, you may also have Human Design centers or Chakras that are white with red circles inside. These are called Undefined Chakras. Their energy runs differently from the Defined ones that are colored in.

Some people also have Open Chakras, shown as completely white on a chart. You will see from Gloria Gaynor’s chart above that she has three of those.

Her Open Chakras are the Heart Chakra, the little triangle with the pink outline. She also has an Open Solar Plexus Chakra: the white triangle outlined in brown on the lower right side. Finally, Gloria has an Open Root Chakra, the square Chakra at the very bottom of the Chart.

Often, people have incarnated with Open Chakras to learn an unusual skill. Their Souls may have intended to offer them the opportunity to grow unique wisdom in their lives.

Oracle Cards: Are the Top Selling Oracle Cards a Good Guide?

I love working with oracle cards.

Since my first Tarot deck—the Aleister Crowley Tarot Deck, which I picked up at a fair after having a reading—I’ve continued to use cards both for my personal spiritual practice and in my work with clients.

I used that original Tarot deck for several years. Over time, I experienced an opening to Angel Energy, which led me to explore several of Doreen Virtue’s angel oracle decks. I found them to be both powerful and deeply supportive.

Since then, my practice has gradually shifted more toward oracle cards focused on energy.

One of my personal favorites is the Akashic Tarot, because it helps us to relate to our Higher Self and connect with our Soul Star Chakra. This is where we can connect to past lives, the Divine Soul Blueprint, Spirit Guides, and more.

These are available as both a physical deck and an app—both formats are lovely and feel very supportive energetically.

Top Selling Oracle Cards: Top of the Pile

I thought I’d check the latest Amazon Search for Oracle Cards and see. I’ve updated this post as of April 2026.

Here are 3 new top-selling oracle decks I’d definitely like to research: –

#1 – Beyond Lemuria Oracle Cards by Izzy Ivy

Lemuria is a pull for many lightworkers (myself included). I’ve channeled a lifetime in Lemuria; you can learn a lot from Lee Caroll, who channels Kryon, about the Lemurians, too.

Edgar Cayce, a famous US Akashic Records reader, found himself channeling Lemurian information after spending several years giving Akashic Readings for medical intuition.

Review Excerpt: Recall the past, glimpse the future, expand your conscious awareness, and step into wholeness. Infused with the loving guidance, practical wisdom, and enlightened insight of Lemuria, this unique oracle deck is here to help you tap into the potent serenity of collective dreaming through wide-eyed introspection, symbolism, and knowledge. Discover Lemuria and reclaim your light, your heart, and your destiny.

#2 – The Oracle of the Riftwalker by Jesse Woll

Top marks for the name, this immediately draws you in. I love authentic artwork on oracle cards; it definitely makes for a deeper, intuitive experience during practice.

Any oracle decks that talk about voices are definitely going to draw me in – because I’m clairaudient (clear-hearing).

Review Excerpt: Oracle Of The Riftwalker is not your typical oracle deck — it is a portal into the quiet voices, sacred echoes, and forgotten wisdoms that lie beneath your waking life. Crafted for seekers, intuitives, and mystics of all paths, this 52-card box set invites you to enter the liminal: a place of deep reflection, transformation, and raw truth. Guiding you through the terrain of grief, courage, love, sacrifice, and transformation. Whether you’re navigating change, calling back your power, or simply searching for meaning, these cards offer soul-rooted messages and fierce clarity.

#3 – Dreams of Gaia Tarot: A Tarot for a New Era (Book & Cards) by Ravynne Phelan

I’m up for any deck that connects us more strongly to the Higher Self. Edgar Cayce always recommended practicing with physical objects that connect us upwards. He would encourage people to draw a dream seal – a circle with memories of their dreams inside – to create that 3D to 4D, and then 5D connection.

Any card deck will help you to expand your Higher Self Connection – this deck emanates healing energies, too.

Review Excerpt: The philosophy of the Dreams of Gaia Tarot is simple: to seek, to feel, to grow, to heal. This deck will strengthen your connection to your divine self while helping you to identify and heal past experiences that hold you back from living to your fullest potential. Learn to recognise when times of growth and change are approaching, and face them with confidence and a sense of anticipation.

3 Favorites I Recommend for General Spiritual Practice

#1 – Rumi Oracle – an Invitation into the Heart of the Divine

Rumi (Jalal ad-Din Rumi) was a Sufi poet (1207–1273) whose inspiration came through practices like whirling, a meditative movement tradition within Sufism.

His poetry has become increasingly popular in the West over the past few decades, and it carries a deeply heart-centered, devotional quality.

I keep this beautiful deck in my office and often use it for meditation. The artwork and messages are both grounding and uplifting—perfect for moments when you want to reconnect inwardly.

#2 – Kyle Gray Keepers of the Light

I recently purchased this deck and have really been enjoying Kyle Gray’s approach to working with Angelic and spiritual energies.

Based in the UK, his work is now widely shared in the US through Hay House, which has published several of his decks. I also use his Angel Prayers Oracle Cards.

The illustrations are beautiful, and the messages carry a depth that feels both meaningful and accessible. His style feels fresh, and his interpretation of Angelic energy offers something slightly different while still being very supportive.

#3 – The Starseed Oracle – Rebecca Campbell

This deck, for me, is one of the decks that is a gift that keeps on giving. It’s a deck of unity, reminding us that as Souls we may have experienced many lives in many star systems.

I just flipped through the deck again to remind me of its vibration, and the ‘Fall Into My Arms’ Card fell out – Surrender, holding the opposites, extremes of life.

This card encourages us to welcome the extremes of life – and in April 2026, that sure is happening for everyone on the planet.

Final Thoughts on Top Selling Oracle Cards

Exploring top-selling oracle decks can be a helpful way to discover new tools, especially if you’re unsure where to begin.

At the same time, the most important guide is always your own resonance. The right deck is the one that feels aligned with you—whether it’s popular or not.

Resource: See all my blog posts on Tarot and Oracle Decks>>

Summary

Top-selling oracle card decks can be a useful starting point for both beginners and experienced practitioners.

From Angel-focused decks like Kyle Gray’s, to heart-centered tools like the Rumi Oracle, and modern interpretations like Kyle Gray’s work, there are many supportive options available. Ultimately, choosing a deck is a personal process—what matters most is how it resonates with your own energy and spiritual practice.

The post Are The Top Selling Oracle Cards the Best? appeared first on Sarah Lawrence Mom On A Spiritual Journey.

Learning More About Intuition

We often joke about intuition in the same way that people sometimes joke about their past lives, but how does intuition really work?

The fact is, we all use our intuition to a greater or lesser degree, whether it’s deciding whether to walk down that particular dark alley or making big life decisions.

Along with decision-making, though, learning about our intuition isn’t something that’s currently taught in school. Wouldn’t it be great if we had decision-making classes? And intuitive classes too, not to mention improv classes – don’t get me started.

I’ve been writing about intuition quite a bit on this blog over the years (since 2010, in fact), and it occurred to me that it’s time for an update. Since then, I’ve learned new systems and experienced new approaches to working with my intuition.

So, here are six ways – and six resources – you can work with to grow your intuition.

Had a Soul star reading session with Sarah. The revelations astounded me. Mind-blowing, very insightful. Healing prayers by Sarah did their job. Got better clarity. Sarah was open and thorough in explaining all of it. Have to say, one of the best decisions I have made. Sarah is very knowledgeable. Grateful to Sarah for gaining the wonderful knowledge about my soul.

#1 – How Does Intuition Work Through Pattern Matching?

More scientific, behavioral, or traditional approaches often explain intuition through pattern matching.

For example, Psychology Today describes intuition as:

A faculty in which hunches are generated by the unconscious mind, rapidly sifting through past experiences and cumulative knowledge.

Our subconscious minds are incredibly observant, even though we’re not aware of all the processes our brains are running at any one moment, and that’s why it’s called the subconscious.

Even without consciously processing something, we can pick up information from a person, location, or situation. This information may arrive suddenly as a hunch, a gut feeling, or even that prickle at the back of the neck.

Yet often we’re taught to ignore our innate pattern-matching abilities in favor of socialized behavior or cultural norms.

I’ve long admired Gavin De Becker’s work on helping people understand how to use their intuition to protect themselves.

The Hunch That Something Is Not Safe

Just today, I watched Gavin De Becker on the Diary of a CEO podcast. He mentioned that many women will step into an elevator with a man who gives them an “off” feeling. The gut instinct is there – but they dismiss it because they’ve been socialized to be polite.

So they step into what is essentially a sealed metal box with someone who feels unsafe.

Developing discernment with our pattern matching is important.

I remember traveling as a lone female in the 1990s after returning from a teaching series I had given in Birmingham, UK. I was trudging across a large parking lot with posters, a boom box, and other training gear. (Well, it was the ’90s.)

I suddenly had a strange feeling and looked behind me. Far across the parking lot, a man was walking quickly toward me.

Feeling uneasy, I threw my gear into the trunk and peeled out of the lot – and sure enough, I saw him chasing after me in the rearview mirror.

Sometimes it’s much better to act on a sudden intuitive hit. It’s better to appear rude and stay out of the elevator than to ignore your instincts and end up in a dangerous situation.

#2 – Connecting To Your Intuition Through Your Soul Blueprint

Since 2016, I’ve been offering Soul Star Readings, which give clients a direct, conscious connection to their Divine Soul Blueprint.

The Soul Blueprint acts as a guide to who we are at the soul level and includes information about our gifts, talents, and natural abilities.

For example, I have a particular soul-level energy center that supports the specific way my intuition works. Knowing my Soul Group also gives me insight into how I receive intuitive information.

Understanding your Soul Blueprint can reveal a great deal about your intuitive style.

Over the years, I’ve found this knowledge incredibly helpful, not only for my own development but also for clients who want to understand how their intuition naturally operates.

Resource: The Soul Star Reading

#3 – How Does Intuition Work Through Human Design?

Since 2021, I’ve been working with my Human Design by learning more about my Type, Strategy, Authority, and Life Purpose.

Think of your Human Design Chart as an energetic ‘selfie’, in multi-dimensional or fractal terms.

It tracks your Soul’s intentions through your innate or subconscious design, energetically imprinted 88 days before birth. This is matched with your planetary influences on the day, and at the specific time of your birth.

Combining data from 3 ancient energetic reading systems – the I-Ching, the Hindu Chakra system, and the Kabbalah, or Tree of Life, the chart is created by matching human DNA Codon data with the I-Ching gates and Astrology.

Learning about your Human Design Type and Authority can give you lots of insight into how your intuition works.

For example, I’m an Emotional Authority, so feel and touch (through my palm chakras) can give me a lot of sensory information to decode when I’m working with my intuition, for myself and for clients.

Resource: Ask for your free short Human Design Report and Chart to discover your personal authority.

#4 – Learning More About Your Intuition Through Human Design Gates

Over time, I’ve noticed connections between our Divine Soul Blueprint and Human Design Gates, which can clarify life themes such as life lessons or past-life patterns.

When I work with someone’s Akashic Records, I also connect with their Inner Circle Spirit Guides – usually four to six guides who support us during our time on Earth.

During these sessions, I’ve noticed that certain Human Design Gates can “light up” energetically for a client. When this happens, the gates often reveal additional insight into how that person’s intuition functions.

These energetic connections can deepen our understanding of our intuitive gifts and how they naturally express themselves.

Resources: Start With the Life Purpose Reading

#5 – How Does Intuition Work Through The Success Codex?

The Success Codex was originally designed as a practical tool for career and business decisions. It definitely works well for that. Over time, though, I’ve noticed energetic threads connecting this system of energy reading to our Divine Soul Blueprints as well.

So what exactly is the Success Codex?

In simple terms, it’s a system based on 10 planetary energies and 3 astrological positions. Aligning with these energetic gateways helps to remind you how to become the most successful version of yourself.

Because the system also incorporates sacred geometry, it has a similar energetic flavor to the Gene Keys. Yet, it’s much simpler and faster to apply in everyday life.

During training to give Success Codex sessions, my teacher pointed out a specific way that intuitive information comes through for me. This pattern also applies when I’m reading for clients. Recognizing this pattern has helped me refine how I work intuitively and focus my intuitive abilities more clearly during sessions.

Understanding systems like the Success Codex can offer another lens for exploring how intuition works. This can also be helpful when it comes to making aligned choices in business, career, and personal direction.

Resource: Request your Success Codex Chart for a first look.

#6 – How Does Intuition Work Through Your Spirit Guides?

Your Inner Circle Spirit Guides can also be a valuable intuitive resource, along with any Teacher Guides who may appear during certain times in your life.

Simply making the connection with your guides can help you recognize how they communicate with you energetically.

Guides can contact us in many ways: through ideas, words, or sentences that seem to appear out of nowhere. Sometimes the connection comes as a physical sensation – like tingles in a chakra – or as an impulse to move, write, or create something.

Understanding these signals can help you check in with your guides when you’re making decisions or learning more about yourself.

That said, guides are exactly that – guides. They provide perspective and information, but they’re not here to tell you what to do. That would interfere with your free will and the experiences you’re meant to navigate.

Instead, they add insight to your decision-making process and your broader understanding of your life path.

Resource: Spirit Guide Reading

In Summary

So, how does intuition work?

It often begins with subconscious pattern recognition but can also involve deeper energetic awareness, personal intuitive systems – even spiritual guidance.

I always recommend learning how your unique intuition functions on the spiritual journey.

You can learn through psychology, energetic systems like Human Design, your Soul Blueprint, or connections with spirit guides.

Focusing on this aspect of Self can help you to develop greater trust in your inner knowing and use it more confidently in everyday decisions.

The post How Does Intuition Work? 6 Ways to Understand It More Deeply appeared first on Sarah Lawrence Mom On A Spiritual Journey.

Having premonitions can initially seem weird or strange. Read on to find out how my strange dream of a song and a moving figure one evening helped prevent an accident for me, my daughter, and another young person the next day.

Premonitions or Psychic Experiences – How do I Know if I’m Having Them?

Working with the Akashic Records can bring about some fascinating side effects.

Many clients report a reconnection with their dreams, or that their dreams become more vivid, after having an Akashic Records Reading.

One of the most common “side effects” is that intuitive abilities in other areas start to expand.

Surprising? Perhaps.

But it makes sense: the more we explore the Records, the more attuned we become to subtle energy and inner knowing.

Our intuitive “Clair” senses—clairvoyance (clear seeing), clairaudience (clear hearing), and others—can strengthen and become more accurate as a result of this work.

Was I Having a Premonition?

Lying in bed in 2013, ready to sleep, I had a strange vision.

A hooded figure appeared at my bedroom door – in my psychic vision, not in physical reality!

The figure had no face, only a shadow where a face should be.

A vision like this could easily provoke fear, but with experience comes the ability to stay calm and allow it to unfold, since such images often carry deeper meaning.

The figure stretched out its arm toward me and seemed to glide across the room – almost as if on wheels – passed through the bed, and disappeared behind me.

Even stranger, it was singing, to the tune of “Let’s Talk About Sex” by Salt-N-Pepa:

“Let’s talk about death, baby…”

Now, I’ve had my fair share of mystical or downright weird experiences (and plenty of people have thought I’m weird for them!), but this was unusual even for me.

I’ve seen hooded figures before (see Angelic Energy for more), but not like this.

I noted it mentally and then moved on until the next day.

The Real-Life Event

At the time, my oldest daughter was home from school with a cold. The following morning, she was feeling better, so I drove her to school as usual.

When we turned out of our driveway, I noticed a young man mowing the grass with a ride-on mower—the kind where you stand upright to operate it. As many do, he wore headphones, probably listening to music as he worked.

As we drove past him, I suddenly flashed back to the dream:

• The music (headphones),
• The faceless figure (hood and mask),
• The smooth, wheeled motion toward me.

The realization hit instantly. I slammed on the brakes—just as the man abruptly turned left, straight into the road in front of my car.

If I hadn’t stopped, we would have hit him.

It was a perfect echo of the dream, bizarre as that dream had been—and the meaning was suddenly crystal clear. The premonition had been a warning, one that might have prevented an accident. I was profoundly grateful.

How Do You Know Whether to Act on Premonitions? 3 Keys

Here are three keys I’ve found helpful for navigating premonitions or psychic insights: –

1. Stay Present. Presence is everything. Because I was fully in the moment, I could recognize the dream’s imagery as it surfaced in waking life—and respond instantly.
   
2. Record or Share Your Experiences.  Make a note—mental, written, or spoken—of any strong intuitive visions, dreams, or sensations. Journaling, voice notes. Telling a trusted friend can help anchor them in your awareness, so you recognize them when relevant moments arrive.
   
3. Ask for Guidance. If a vision feels significant or unsettling, ask for insight—through prayer, meditation, or simply quiet reflection. I didn’t do that this time, but I did mention the dream to someone I was working with, which helped keep it active in my awareness.

Everyday Premonitions

Not every premonition is dramatic. Some are simple and often funny.

For instance, years ago, on the way to my ex-husband’s brother-in-law’s house, I suddenly knew he’d cut off his beloved mullet. My partner disagreed, convinced he’d never part with it. But when we arrived, sure enough, he had short hair!

Premonitions aren’t always life-changing. Reflecting on them and talking about them openly with people who can hold the space can strengthen your intuitive awareness.

Keep a Log of Your Premonitions

To track and validate your experiences: –

Journal them.
Write or type your premonitions as soon as they happen. Include the date and time, if possible.

Review regularly.
Review your notes every few months. You may find that even small, easily overlooked premonitions came true.

Share selectively.
Share your journal only with those who understand and support your intuitive exploration. Discussing these experiences safely helps integrate them and deepen your trust in your own perception.

Final Thought

Premonitions remind us that intuition is real and alive within each of us.

They’re not about predicting the future—they’re about a relationship with it: learning to listen to subtle signals and stay aligned with presence and trust.

Spirit Guides – What Are the Types?

Spirit Guides are Souls who are no longer incarnated in physical form, but they support us on the Spiritual Journey.

Guides can be: –

• Loved Ones who have passed, but who revisit us to support our journey.
• Angels or Archangels
• Ascended Masters, such as the Buddha, the Christ Consciousness, or Kwan Yin.
• Star Beings or higher-dimensional beings
• Nature Spirits or Devas
• Inner Circle or Master Guides within the Akashic Records.

Some Guides stay with us throughout our entire lifetime, while others come and go depending on our needs and growth.

Sarah was very helpful in getting the information I requested concerning my Spirit guide team.

I received a recording of the session, simulated pictures, and names of the guides.

A complete surprise (about) who my guides are.

I also received supplemental information that she suggested for my journey. Thank you so much, Sarah!

Spirit Guides Communicate Through Energy

Affirmations to Support Connection With Different Types of Spirit Guides

These words have been a touchstone for me, reminders of the ever-present support surrounding us:

Wherever I walk, I have help.
They all have my face.
They are beautiful.
I am a piece of God.
I am quantum.
My guides are endless.
I have help.
My intuition comes from the creative source.
I have help from the air, the animals, the trees, the dirt that I walk on.
Love permeates everything around me.
It is part of “innate,” and I do not ask “where?” for there is no “where.”
I do not ask “who?” for the “who” is the One—and it is I.

(Inspired by Lee Carroll / Kryon on guides, angels, and intuition.)

Tools to help You Connect

Anything that validates your experiences and helps dissolve disbelief will strengthen your connection with the various types of Spirit Guides.

• Keep a journal of intuitive experiences. Note dates, times, dreams, or synchronicities. Reviewing your notes later often reveals patterns and validations you might have missed.
  
• Stay awake to signs. Everything can be a reading. The more aware you are, the more easily you’ll notice the guidance already around you.
  
• Look for symbols in nature—an animal crossing your path, a phrase overheard, a sudden song lyric that resonates. Spirit speaks through every channel available.
  
• Create a meeting space in meditation. Choose a peaceful inner landscape where you can return regularly to meet your Guides. Over time, that space becomes energetically charged and easier to access.

Spirit Guide Readings with Sarah

Through my work with the Akashic Records, I’ve learned how to connect with what I call our Inner Circle Spirit Guides.

These types of Spirit Guides form your spiritual “A-team.” They join you at different stages of your life, your Guardian Guide from birth, and others as you grow, and remain as lifelong allies.

Connecting with your Inner Circle often feels comfortingly familiar, like recognizing an old friend’s energy.

They’ve been with you since childhood, guiding, protecting, and celebrating your progress every step of the way.

To learn more about my Inner Circle Spirit Guide Readings, go to this page for more information and to book a reading.

One way to grow your connection with different types of Spirit Guides is to begin to work with your Akashic Records. This expands the connection to your Soul through your Higher Self (aka your intuition).

If you are interested in an Akashic Records Reading, I always recommend starting with the Soul Star Reading.

This reading gives you 3 different immersive experiences of the Akashic Records: –

1. Connecting with your Divine Soul Blueprint (Soul-level gifts, talents, abilities).
2. Hearing about a Past Life that contains a karmic pattern ready for clearing (you’ll recognize this pattern in your present life).
3. Recognizing and clearing present life blocks and restrictions.

You may have heard about walk-ins on your spiritual travels – but what are they, exactly?

What is a Walk-in?

If you’ve ever heard the term walk-in and wondered what it means, this article will help clarify it for you.

People who believe they’ve experienced a walk-in often describe the feeling that another soul has entered their body. It’s almost as if a new consciousness has walked in and taken residence within them.

It can be a disorienting concept at first. You might even wonder, if this happened to me from birth, how would I know?

What a Walk-in is Not

When I give a Soul Star Reading, I sometimes discover that a client is in a walk-in situation – but this is quite rare.

Most clients who have a walk-in arrangement already have a sense of it.

When I bring up the possibility during a reading, it usually clicks immediately.

They often describe feeling that there’s “more than one person” present within them or that they’ve carried an unusual dual awareness for as long as they can remember.

However, there’s another experience that can feel somewhat similar but is actually quite different—something called soul-shifting.

Had a Soul star reading session with Sarah. The revelations astounded me. Mind-blowing, very insightful. Healing prayers by Sarah did their job.

Got better clarity. Sarah was open and thorough in explaining all of it. Have to say, one of the best decisions I have made. Sarah is very knowledgeable. Grateful to Sarah for gaining the wonderful knowledge about my soul.

Soul-Shifting vs. Walk-Ins

Soul-shifting occurs when souls from your past lives continue to connect with you in this lifetime. In other words, aspects of your own soul’s journey are still active and influencing your current incarnation.

A walk-in, on the other hand, involves a pre-life agreement between two distinct souls who agree to share or transfer a single incarnation.

In very rare cases, soul-shifting might arise from a present-life agreement, but it’s still not the same as a walk-in.

Walk-ins always come from a prior-life contract, which is a mutual understanding made before incarnation.

In these situations, one soul acts as a “backup” or secondary participant who can take over if the original soul decides it cannot continue the current life path.

This can happen when the soul faces extreme emotional, physical, or spiritual distress and is unable to cope with the circumstances of the incarnation.

Often, if this occurs during the early years of life, the conscious memory of it fades or is completely absent.

Organ Transplants and Energy Imprints – An Unintentional Walk-In?

Years ago, I attended a talk about acupuncture at Wesley Hospital in Wichita, Kansas.

The speaker discussed Five Element Acupuncture and the role of chi and meridians in health.

It was inspiring to see so many doctors and nurses open to learning about this ancient healing system.

In Five Element philosophy, chi, or life force energy, is believed to reside strongly in the kidneys.

The lecturer mentioned that it’s not unusual for organ transplant recipients to experience fragments of their donor’s memories, emotions, or energetic essence.

Several doctors and nurses in the room confirmed that they’d seen this in patients.

You can think of it as an energetic imprint – the donor’s chi or prana carried within the transplanted organ. When transferred to another body, some of that energetic signature may remain active.

However, this is not a walk-in. It’s an energy transfer, not a soul exchange.

If You Believe You May Be Experiencing a Walk-In

First of all, don’t panic. A walk-in is not something to fear. These situations usually happen for a higher purpose, based on a soul-level agreement made long before this lifetime.

If you suspect you may be in a walk-in or soul-sharing situation, here are a few steps that may bring clarity and peace:

• Reflect on your early life experiences. Look for moments of sudden change or disconnection that might point to a deeper energetic shift.
• Notice any blocks or restrictions that continue to appear in your present life – they may carry information about the transition.
• Consider a Soul Star Reading. This type of session can reveal whether you’re in a walk-in or soul-shifting situation and help identify energetic imprints from other souls.

Remember, every soul agreement—even the unusual ones—exists to help you evolve and expand.

Healing In Transition – Is It Possible?

There are moments in life when the veil between worlds feels thinner, when the boundaries between body, spirit, and energy blur in ways we can’t quite explain, yet deeply feel.

For me, one of those times came during my mother’s final months. What I experienced with her reshaped my understanding of energy, healing, and love, and reminded me that even as we transition, we are still evolving, still learning, still capable of peace.

Available on Amazon: Elegant Empowerment: Evolution of Consciousness by Peggy Phoenix Dubro (book by the teacher of the EMF Balancing Technique).

May 2010 – My Mum In Hospice

My mother’s energy was moving in and out of her body as I spoke.

“Mum you said a while back that you were interested in being buried there” I said gently. She looked at me helplessly.

Remembering a question one of my teachers had posed to me once at a difficult time, I asked her:

“Mum – what is most sacred to you?”

Her eyes widened, and she breathed more deeply and easily. She looked into my eyes and said

“I want to become a tree”.

To press my point, I had to be sure.

“So if we make arrangements with the Sustainability Centre at East Meon, they’ll give you a natural burial and continue planting a forest around you. Is that what you want?”

She curled in on herself, tears welling, and bowed her head. “Yes.” She mouthed, unable to use her voice fully.

“Trees are sacred”.

The EMF Balancing Technique and Transition

It was really happening.  My dear mum was slowly but surely leaving her body.  And I could feel it.

As an EMF Balancing Technique practitioner and energy sensitive, I could feel her energy moving in and out of her body whenever I visited her in the hospice.

Sometimes her energy would extend horizontally from her solar plexus. Sometimes it was fully within her body. Other times, it floated gently out of the top of her head.

For me, as an empath, this was both fascinating and deeply emotional. I couldn’t deny what I felt — it was as tangible as touching the tip of my nose. My years of studying the human energy field were being experienced by my mother and me in real time.

EMF Sessions — A Source of Comfort and Healing In Transition

I was grateful to be able to give my mum EMF Balancing Technique sessions while she was in hospice care. One session took three days to complete because she was so weak.

The first time I began, she sighed and said,

“You have no idea how good that feels!”

I laughed softly. “I probably have some idea,” I said, “since I love receiving the sessions too.”

She continued to ask for them, and they brought her great comfort — helping her navigate the overlapping sensations of spiritual awakening and transition.

“I Was Always Energy Sensitive.”

My mum told me once, “I was always energy sensitive.”

Looking back, I believe her completely. Growing up in postwar Britain, as a 1950s housewife, she had no language or community for that kind of awareness. I watched her quietly commune with the energy of our home and garden — the nature spirits and devas — though she never spoke of them.

When I tried to talk about energy as a child, she would give me a look of fear and disapproval. So, I learned to stay quiet.

But once she began healing in transition, something changed. She began to awaken.

She told me, “You were always right. Energy really exists.”

From then on, we had the most beautiful, honest conversations about how energy works and what we noticed together.

One day, I brought a friend of hers to visit her. After about ten minutes, when the friend stepped out of the room, Mum whispered to me,

“Take her home, Sarah. She’s getting too distressed — I can feel it.”

As she moved closer to leaving her body, her sensitivity to others’ emotional fields grew even stronger as she worked through healing in transition.

She was reading energy with remarkable precision.

A book I love on Amazon: Proof of Heaven – A Neurosurgeon’s Journey Into The Afterlife

A Shared Journey of Awareness

A fellow EMF Balancing Technique Practitioner, Lina Esposito, wrote this amazing book, The Little Book on EMF: My Personal Journey Through the EMF Technique.

She writes about giving EMF sessions to her father as he became unwell, and how the experience helped heal their relationship and deepen their bond before his passing and healing in transition.

In my own journey, the EMF Balancing Technique helped me understand what was happening — not only energetically but spiritually. It gave me a language for what my mother and I were both feeling.

When I couldn’t be at the hospice, I gave her remote sessions. Later, she told me she knew when I was working with her — she could feel it.

Those shared experiences brought us both a sense of peace, connection, and gentle closure. Even in transition, healing was happening — through love, through energy, and through presence.

The post Healing in Transition: Love Explored Through EMF Balancing appeared first on Sarah Lawrence Mom On A Spiritual Journey.

What is Empathy?

I believe that everyone has some level of empathy, so being an empathic mom is something everyone can potentially experience.

Yet, through social conditioning and our shadows, even trauma, we may lose sight of that sensitivity. And sometimes, we need to shut that sensitivity down because we are completely overwhelmed and need to function.

Plus, a proportion of the population has a genetic predisposition to greater nervous system sensitivities.

Even modern science acknowledges this through different medical assessments, such as autism and sensory processing disorder.

Here’s a definition of ’empath’ from the Urban Dictionary: A person who is capable of feeling the emotions of others even though they themselves are not going through the same situation.

One of the first scientific studies to acknowledge empathic traits as sensitivity in modern times was Elaine N. Aron, Ph.D. She noticed through research that about 15% of the human population experiences high sensitivity.

Book Available on Amazon: The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You

The Empath Mom as a Functional Pattern – Not A Fixed Type

As an empathic person, or Highly Sensitive Person, you may have certain traits. I’d like you to understand these traits differently, not as a condition or limitation, but as a form of unique attunement.

Over the years, I’ve shifted from thinking about being empathic as a fixed type to an understanding that the potential for empathy is always there in everybody’s DNA, but that it can be blocked.

We all have mirror neurons, which the latest science believes we use to help us learn by mirroring others. Your baby will mirror your facial expressions, as parents have discovered over the ages. Today, we play with this ability on Instagram and TikTok because it’s cute and funny.

We all have this ability to mirror. It’s how we become socialized and survive as individuals in a sometimes scary world. So what’s the difference between a parent and an empath parent, or empath mom?

Resource: Your Soul’s Intentions Through Human Design (Human Design Readings can help us to understand our innate genetic predispositions). Ask me for a free Human Design Chart and short report.

You Are Probably Reading This Because You Are Overwhelmed

If you are reading this, it may be because you googled Empath, or Empath Mom, and are wondering how to cope with feeling everything while being a parent.

I’d like to invite you to think about yourself and your empathy as a bandwidth. You are like a tuning fork for others’ needs through high-sensory awareness.

Some of your unconscious or conscious skills through attuning your awareness may include: –

• Registering subtle shifts in mood before they are spoken
• Anticipating needs before your child speaks them
• Smoothing the energetic field around your whole family so that the family’s energy remains coherent
• Noticing that your child may be getting sick
• Feeling a child’s emotions of joy or distress (or whatever emotional bandwidth they are moving through)

An Empath Mom Is Somebody With A Hidden Mechanism

All moms do this at some level, but an empath mom will be acutely aware of this – we nurture through emotional regulation.

Children seek emotional regulation through proximity, by getting close to us physically when they are distressed.

Our societal and cultural conditioning silently says – mothers must hold the atmosphere.

Yet, we were individuals before we had children, and we still are. So the healthy emotional regulation also becomes – where is my space for expression?

As highly sensitive or highly empathic people, if we don’t yet understand how to set energetic boundaries for our own space, our nervous system adapts in a costly way for our health. It continues to absorb emotions to stabilize the environment.

When we continue to absorb these energies over time, without opportunity or awareness to decongest ourselves, resentment can be the first sign that something is off. Yet often, as parents, socialization and family pressures prevent us from expressing this emotion in healthy ways, if at all.

Reframe Resentment

I’d like you to consider this energetic reframe: –

Resentment is not a negative emotion – it is stalled energy asking to move.

If we let resentment build, it can create health issues over time, starting with the autoimmune system being affected.

Resource: Black Moon Lilith Reading – Awakening Your Divine Feminine Learning to align with your Lilith Energy is about connecting with your unique genetic Keycode for radical self-permission. 

Boundaries Are Not A Rejection Of Our Loved Ones

I firmly believe that part of our experience on Earth is to learn about ourselves through sensing other people in our lives as mirrors.

So when your child experiences something and mirrors it to you, as an empath mom, this act silently calls on your inner world and finds matches for your unresolved issues, as well as joys for your resonant ones. Energetically speaking, I see this as a law of physics.

If you are Highly Sensitive or empathic, you will feel this mirroring more than most. It’s easy to get overwhelmed – no one ever said parenting was going to be simple.

Yet, your child is not asking for you to take on their feelings and feel them for them. As people who have been socialized as empathic tuning forks, or who may have a genetic predisposition to sensitivity, it can be difficult to prevent that default response to others. Especially those we are nurturing.

Yet, if we want to grow as parents, learning how to mirror appropriately can help us, as well as our children, and pass on a good model of behavior for the next generation. As parents, we are always trying to do that.

Learning to set energetic boundaries as parents can help us to: –

• Let feelings move through us, and get released
• Stay more present with absorbing until overwhelm takes over
• Self-regulate through self-support

Resource: Seated EMF Balancing Free Remote Session. A simple way to reset your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.

Being An Empath Mom Is a Gift – Learn To Give That Gift To Ourselves

One decision you can make to help yourself as an Empath Mom is to set conscious energetic boundaries.

When we understand that we will always be attuned to empathy and learn to accept that, we then need to find appropriate ways to manage our growth as parents and as individuals on the spiritual journey.

Knowing when you can turn that tuning fork of empathy off and how will enable you to continue nurturing with less overwhelm and less energetic drain.

One of the first steps on this journey is to understand that we have all been conditioned by our families into the roles that we play in society.

Empath Moms – Our Unconscious Inheritance

Up until now, women have unconsciously inherited the role of being the carer without the opportunity to rest. As mothers, we have been called upon to serve others without receiving reciprocal care. We have been asked to become attuned to others’ needs as an unconscious role agreement, without our conscious consent.

Learning more about ourselves at the level of genetic self-awareness and behavioral understanding will not only help us to release resentment, but it will set better models for our children as future parents.

Making an inventory of what you are already doing well can help enormously, too. For example: –

• Are you able to pause before reacting?
• Name emotions that are yours, and which are not.
• Being able to allow your children to experience manageable friction for their growth.
• Redirecting absorbed energy into movement, breath, or structure.

What list of questions can you create to help you with overwhelm?

Strategizing and Empathy Can Meet With The Success Codex

This is an excerpt from Jane Austen’s Success Codex (yes, she of Pride and Prejudice fame!).

Jane Austen wrote about the difficulties women had with no income and the need to be married to be functional in society, long before we had the rights that we do now.

She used her Primary Genius of Ideas and being the Idea-Generator Archetype, plus her playful nature, to create characters and storylines that still amuse and enthrall us to this day.

If you are ready to delve a bit deeper into strategies for your Personal Energy, I love the Success Codex work for this. This could work well for you, too. We are not all Jane Austens, of course, but our empathic nature and sensitivity have enormous gifts hidden within, and the Success Codex can help with that.

You can also learn where you get stuck, blocked, or overwhelmed in your parenting approaches, so that you can work your way towards energetic alignment once again.

The post Empath Mom? How To Find More Balance While Nurturing appeared first on Sarah Lawrence Mom On A Spiritual Journey.

How to raise your vibrational frequency, what it is exactly, and some simple ways to approach this through Akashic Records practices.

How to Raise Your Vibrational Frequency?

Learning to raise your vibrational frequency has benefits, but many people aren’t sure what this term means, or even how to do it, let alone what the benefits are.

First, think of your vibrational frequency as: –

• a feel-good factor,
• taking a different approach to feeling more balanced,
• retraining your focus to experience more joy,
• creating access to more of your resources during stressful situations,
• learning to tap into the wisdom of your emotions,
• becoming more energetically sensitive,
• growing in self-awareness.

Available on Amazon: Frequency, The Power of Personal Vibration, Penney Peirce

What Exactly is Your Vibrational Frequency?

Imagine all of the cells vibrating in your body, which they do, all of the time.

Your body has conscious and subconscious systems that manage all the necessary physical processes, such as hormonal circulation, breathing, and digestion.

Your vibrational frequency is part of this process – plus it’s the result of your natural level of vibration when you were born, which usually matches your parents’ vibration.

When you learn to reconnect with the essence of who you are at the soul level, you raise your vibrational frequency.

This can happen through simple personal growth experiences during our lives. On the spiritual journey, we can also step up and accelerate this frequency by becoming intentional about it and making choices.

Resource: Review of 365 Ways to Raise Your Frequency, Melissa Alvarez

The Scale of Vibrational Frequency

Your vibrational frequency is an energy that can be read on a scale. Through my Akashic Records work, I’ve learned to measure a person’s current vibrational frequency, which can be very helpful to know.

What’s fascinating about this is that most people measure around two different vibrational frequencies on the scale when they decide they are curious about their Akashic Records.

One frequency that clients regularly show up with is that of shifting into more conscious awareness of their fifth-dimensional energy. This is when people start to become aware of the energies outside of their bodies, such as grounding through the Earth Star Chakra below the feet, and receiving ‘downloads’ of new thoughts, ideas, and sensations through the Soul Star Chakra above the head.

This is when we become more consciously aware of our Akashic Records, and we want to know more about them.

The other frequency that regularly shows in people is that they want to know more, but they become really aware of a major energetic block that needs clearing.

They may not be able to identify the block, but they know that it’s there. It can be either a past life or a present life block, and clearing it will raise their vibrational frequency.

Resource: The Soul Star Reading

Raise Your Vibrational Frequency by Entering the Akashic Records

My understanding—shared by many teachers—is that the Akashic Records are not somewhere we travel to, but a field of consciousness that surrounds and permeates us.

Because of this, we can shift our awareness into the Records both intentionally and unintentionally.

In other words, accessing the Akashic Records is less about effort and more about a shift in consciousness.

It’s Easier Than You Think to Shift Your Consciousness

We already shift our consciousness all the time in everyday life. It’s a human trait.

Notice how your awareness changes when you:

• Drive a car
• Relax and watch television
• Study or focus deeply at work
• Lose yourself in a book
• Tell a joke
• Imagine something

Each of these activities requires a different quality of attention. The shift into the Akashic Records works in much the same way.

Understanding this is one of the keys for anyone interested in learning how to raise their vibrational frequency, because frequency is directly linked to awareness, focus, and intention.

When your consciousness becomes more coherent and present, your vibrational state naturally rises as energy flows in from your Earth Star and Soul Star Chakras.

This might seem like a catch-22 situation to raise your vibrational frequency, but it can be easier than you think.

You Are Incarnated, So You Are Already In Your Akashic Records

Because the Records are always accessible to us, many people have already “slipped” into them without realizing it. This explains why so many clients recognize the energy immediately when they have a reading—it feels familiar because they have been there before.

Creative flow states, moments of deep insight, sudden clarity, or powerful emotional connection often occur when your consciousness aligns with the Akashic field.

These moments elevate our vibrational frequency, leaving us feeling expanded, inspired, and connected.

The more we work with our Akashic Records, the more we expand the muscle, or energetic pathway of connecting with our intuition or Higher Self.

And, as we do that, vibrational frequency rises.

Six Ways People Can Easily Access the Akashic Records

Here are six ways I’ve observed people naturally shift into the Akashic Records. Remember, these simple practices also support raising vibrational frequency:

1. Consistent prayer or affirmation practice
   Regular simple prayers and affirmations help you become familiar with the sensations, awareness, and energetic signature of the Records and the vibration of your Chakras.
2. Meditation, yoga, or breathwork with clear intention
   Once you recognize the feeling of being in the Records, you can often access them through practices like yoga, kundalini work, or meditation. Simply pausing for three or four slow, deep breaths and setting the intention to enter the Akashic Records can shift your awareness. Many people experience subtle visions, sensations, or inner knowing as confirmation.
3. Creative flow states
   Entering “the zone” while playing music, singing, writing, or creating art can naturally open access. These states often raise your vibrational frequency by quieting the analytical mind and allowing intuitive information to flow.
4. Sacred or familiar places in nature
   Being in a location that feels deeply familiar—that gives you a strong emotional reaction—can trigger an Akashic connection. Nature itself often supports higher-frequency states.
5. Sudden awareness of supportive presence
   Feeling surrounded by Masters, Teachers, or Loved Ones without consciously seeking them can indicate a spontaneous shift into the Records.
6. Intuitive “connect-the-dots” moments
   Those powerful “aha” experiences, when everything suddenly makes sense, often arise from brief alignment with the Akashic field.

Resource: A Complete Guide to Understanding Your Akashic Records

How the Akashic Records Support Higher Vibrational Frequency

When people ask about how to raise their vibrational frequency through the Akashic Records, the answer is simpler than it may seem.

Accessing the Records encourages clarity, compassion, self-awareness, and coherence. These qualities naturally elevate your energetic state and your vibrational frequency.

Rather than striving to “reach” a higher vibration, the Akashic Records invite you into alignment through simple practices and reflections. As awareness settles, resistance softens—and frequency rises as a byproduct.

In Essence

In essence, accessing the Akashic Records is not about learning something new, but remembering what is already familiar at a deeper level of awareness.

As consciousness gently shifts through intention, breath, presence, or creative flow, alignment naturally occurs—and with it, a rise in vibrational frequency.

The Akashic Records meet you where you are, offering insight, clarity, and connection not as something to strive for, but as a state to relax into.

When approached with clear intention and a desire to expand your awareness, they become a steady resource for greater coherence, self-understanding, and meaningful integration in everyday life. And, regular work in your Akashic Records can raise your vibrational frequency.

You can experience your Akashic Records through a reading. You’ll also activate the connection to your Soul through your Higher Self (also known as your intuition).

You’ll find that your intuition expands with Akashic Records work, and questions you have on the spiritual journey will be answered. It really helps you to connect the dots.

If you are interested in an Akashic Records Reading, I always recommend starting with the Soul Star Reading.

This reading gives you 3 different immersive experiences of the Akashic Records: –

1. Connecting with your Divine Soul Blueprint (Soul-level gifts, talents, abilities).
2. Hearing about a Past Life that contains a karmic pattern ready for clearing (you’ll recognize this pattern in your present life).
3. Recognizing and clearing present life blocks and restrictions.

The post Some Easy Ways to Raise Your Vibrational Frequency appeared first on Sarah Lawrence Mom On A Spiritual Journey.

What is a Soul Connection?

A soul connection is that deep feeling of recognition when you meet someone for the first time…

A sense of shared experiences or aligned goals, even though you’ve only just crossed paths…

Backgrounds that are either strikingly similar or opposite—but somehow open both your hearts and create an even deeper resonance.

It’s an opportunity to grow.

A chance to see life through another’s eyes, especially when they already seem to understand who you truly are.

Deep soul resonance can show up as peaceful bonding, deep friendship, a passionate romantic affair, a long-term relationship, or even marriage. Everyone experiences them differently.

And suppose the deep intimacy is about a friendship, rather than an intimate style of relationship. In that case, we can recognize a sibling, grandparent, or other family member as being this, as well as a friend or work colleague.

Karmic, Twin Flame, or Past Life Contract?

Some soul connections relate to karmic patterns your Soul is ready to release. Karmic patterns in relationships can often show up with a lot of chemistry, which is seen as good! The truth is, our Souls are magnetized to each other so that we can work out a particular pattern more quickly. Usually, this relationship has problems and may end with a quick burnout.

You may find an unusually matched Soul for you – called a Twin Flame – but this is rare. Usually, Twin Flames have a unique Soul contract with each other that relates to helping many people, and it has nothing to do with romantic feelings or finding the ‘perfect’ partner. The mission is much greater than that.

Mostly common of all, we have all lived quite a few lifetimes with other, different Souls, and sometimes we revisit a relationship with them in present life to let go of an old Soul Contract related to taking care of each other – just like a marriage that has finally run its course for both people.

You can clear Soul Contracts and other blocks and restrictions from your Akashic Records with the Soul Star Reading (for new clients). If you’ve had this reading already, then the Life Situation Reading will take you to the next, deeper level.

When Soul Connections Aren’t Easy

We often imagine that finding a relationship like this will always feel magical. And in the beginning, when you’re in harmony and resonance with each other, sometimes it does.

But then…

Something shifts.

Something snaps, breaks, or falls away.

Suddenly, you’re left confused, disappointed, or facing a relationship that doesn’t look anything like what you thought it was.

If it’s a romantic soul connection, this can feel like “make or break” time. It can also feel like this if a deep friendship or a family connection has gone sour.

What’s Going on Here?

Maybe you still do have that connection—just not in the way you expected. When you meet someone who activates you so profoundly, it can open a whole can of spiritual worms.

The True Healing Purpose of Soul Connections

With a soul connection, one of you is the key and the other is the lock. You fit perfectly, life feels full… and that lifelong yearning for “something more” seems to dissolve in the presence of this person.

Heaven on Earth, at least some of the time.

But intense relationships like this aren’t just about comfort. They’re also about personal healing.

We connect energetically with the people who are meant to be our mirrors. They reflect the parts of ourselves to us that we’re ready to heal—even the parts we’d rather not revisit or change.

For example:

If you had a distant father or mother, it’s incredibly common to attract a partner who becomes emotionally distant after the initial spark wears off. Suddenly, you’re right back in that old feeling of inadequacy or longing you thought you’d outgrown.

The soul you are interacting with is holding up a mirror.

They’re not trying to hurt you. At the Soul level, they’re simply playing their part in your healing.

In a difficult relationship? The Human Design Relationship Reading can help you to understand yourself and the other person better.

Seeing Soul Connections In A New Way

So how will you respond this time?

Being endlessly lovable won’t magically pull an emotionally distant person closer. They’re accustomed to distance, and that is what their Soul is trying to teach you. Instead, soul connections invite you to dig deeper into your own inner wisdom and revisit the past one final time.

Ask yourself:

• What is my Soul trying to heal here?
• What might be coming up for them, just as old wounds are coming up for me?
• Which behaviors or patterns am I mirroring back that they least want to see?

As you begin to cultivate energetic awareness, the healing can truly begin—and the soul connection often deepens in a more grounded, authentic way.

Or, sadly, it could finish. Sometimes, the other person doesn’t have the emotional bandwidth to create the depth of connection you are looking for from them.

Learn about Soul Connections from Past Lives with an Akashic Relationship Reading (this is appropriate for a current relationship, or one that has finished).

Your Soul Connections as Mirrors

Think about the people you’ve met who offer you a clear mirror of your own healing journey. Soul connections are rarely random—they’re invitations.

Who in your life has challenged you, expanded you, or revealed something essential about your inner world?

When you start to see relationships this way, even the most intense ones that you are grieving or realizing you will have to let go, you’ll create the greatest soul connection of all. The connection with your own soul.
