Our true purpose in this life is to be ourselves. Unfortunately, from a young age, we learn to be more like others, than ourselves. We learn to believe in many ways, that it is not safe to be ourselves. Our need to fit in, or be accepted can take us further from true self.

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. 

Just as, true expression through art has been suppressed through grading, so too have feelings and emotions. Emotions get graded as good, bad, ugly, desirable, undesirable, right and wrong and consequently, we learn to suppress rather than express what we are truly feeling. It does not feel safe to express ourselves in our fullness. Instead, we have deny, dilute and distort ourselves, to be like others and be liked by others, rather than being true to and liking ourselves.

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, there are many cycles and phase of realignment, activated by planetary themes of alignment. The energy at particular transiting times can be challenging, bringing up wounded aspects of our past where we were, or are, out of alignment with our true vital self.  
Mid-life crisis IS “just a phase” – a phase at 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.

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.
