I have realized something in the last 12 months. It's an insight that has been moving through me, and integrating more and more deeply with time.

A few months ago, I experienced an incredibly difficult situation. I was left, quite literally, alone and isolated at a very challenging and emotional time.

As a Ruling Number 7, feeling isolated, lonely and misunderstood are associated "challenges" and "shadow traits."

When I was alone... I went inwards. I connected very deeply with myself, my heart, my intuition, and my inner guidance system.

And... even though I felt alone and isolated and afraid... I found something deeper in that moment.

My connection with my inner guidance system rapidly grew... I could palpably feel my connection growing stronger and more clear.

I knew exactly how to handle the challenging circumstances in front of me. It may have been very difficult, and I was faced with a lot of unknown.

But.  I knew exactly what to do. And exactly how to move through it.

In other words... my ability to be led by my intuition, and feel a connection to something greater than myself was expanded. Dramatically. Rapidly. In that moment. And these are the precise traits that are known as the gifts and purpose - the super powers really - of a 7!! 

This really anchored in and integrated an understanding for me.

What if... the way we have been looking at our challenges is ALL WRONG?

This is certainly not the first time I have felt alone and isolated... and I am sure it won't be the last.

But when I look back at all those moments where I experienced the darkness associated with my Code... they initiated something in me.

There was an activation that was available... once I understood how to lean into it, and allow it.

And it allowed me to access a more potent, powerful and vibrant energy in my core.

In doing so, my gifts were strengthened. My purpose became more clear. And I was more confident in my contribution.

I know we have all faced difficult situations lately. And when the challenges and contrast arise, it can feel like it will never end. So many people feel themselves pulling back. Which is totally understandable. And often necessary to truly understand the challenges.

But... what if I shared that the challenges you are facing are actually part of your Code? That they are an invitation. A door opening.

A portal.

Your biggest challenges are actually an initiation.

An initiation that can draw you even deeper into your purpose. And create a strengthening, a magnetism, a potency to your gifts.

We are experiencing a spiral expansion of our energy in this moment. Which means the challenges will ebb and flow. Along with the opportunities. Patterns may feel like they are repeating... but they aren't. At least, not if you use the challenges as the initiation. The way it's intended... to guide you deeper into a more potent activation of your energy.

HOW we navigate is so much different once we understand our Code. And when the how is energy related... it changes everything.

I want to share this with you... the challenges and the opportunities.

And the activation process.

So you can learn how to experience the challenges you face as an amplification of your superpowers!!
