All we really want is to be ourselves and be accepted for who we are. Yet so often we find it hard to accept ourselves as we have spent so much of our lives trying to fit in or please others, such that we do not even truly know who we are, or what we need. A life of learning to be more like others, than ourselves. So often it does not feel safe to be ourselves. Our need to fit in, or be accepted by others can lead us away from our own needs and dreams.

Realignment is an art, not a system or process. Like art, techniques can be learnt, however theory does not create, application does – how you take this learning and make it your own. This is creativity. Unfortunately creativity has become something to be “approved”, graded, measured, compared, critiqued or judged which means the joy of true unique expression has been sucked out of it. 

Our emotions and intuition are the most valuable tools we hae for navigating “ourselves”. What feels true and what feels good. Yet it can be challenging to navigate as we have been taught that it’s wrong to feel how we feel and taught to think rather than feel or intuit.

Emotions and feelings are the way we navigate where our internal and external worlds meet. We receive many messages (what feels good and what does not) that help us align and course correct. Messages start as a whisper, a niggle or a bump. If ignored, unheard or unheeded they escalate, getting louder or more painful, until they cannot be ignored. You now have the potentially great lesson and gift of realignment – through a dis-ease, I’ll-ness, in-jury or acc-i-dent.

Whether you believe in Astrology or not, they activate cycles and phases of development and opportunities for realignment. There are particular times in our lives where wounded and unaligned aspects of who we are will be triggered, activated or come up for review. First there is the 7 year cycles of development (as reflected through our school years. and later cycles of other planets that we see as mid life crisis points around the ages of 29-30, 30-40 & 50-52, where planets highlight themes that asks “Who am I?” and “What do I truly need?”

At the age of 50-52, Chiron (which represents the wounded healer) along with other planets activate themes around woundedness. Sparking a crisis of consciousness, often confused as physical, emotional or mental issues. The grace-filled gift and transformation offered by this crisis stage, is through realigning spiritually and connecting with a sense of self, wholeness and oneness. You do not have to go into the depths of these, but knowing that you are not going crazy and that there are certain themes that will present can make it easier to transit these times as they give it purpose and meaning, You know it is just a phase and not just you.

Mid-life crisis” is not something to fear; it is sometimes to embrace. Seeking guidance and support can really help you to navigate what can be a confusing, anxiety inducing time. It can be the difference between burning out or igniting your fire. Breakdown or breakthrough?

Healing and alignment in many ways is simply the release from fear, and the return to love.
REALigning is the little things you do every day, and the choices you make to align with who you truly are, and what is really important to and for you.

REALigning SELF is becoming and being unapologetically yourself.
