Mid-summer has arrived. The tomatoes are vine-ripe, the mornings cool and lightly foggy. And yet, every day I wake from wild dreams—the kind that come during times of transition. I'm wandering through buildings, walking up and down stairs, searching for someone or something. In my dream house, there are four dogs. I wonder: which dog is mine to feed?

I've had a daily spiritual practice for decades—meditation, chanting, reading the wise words of teachers through the ages. This practice has sustained me through life’s highs and lows. For years, I felt like I was “in the flow,” coasting gently, without much effort or direction.

Still, this deep sense of the sacred has remained a constant.

I remember sitting in a hospital waiting room for ten hours while my infant son was in surgery, reading A Course in Miracles to stay calm and centered. Years later, when my other now teenage son disappeared late one night in a dangerous part of town, I waited up reading The Book of Pluto, trying to uncover the deeper meaning—for him, for me, for all of us.

Now, I wake up and wonder how long it will take before I feel strong enough to read the headlines. It takes at least five minutes of slow, conscious yogic breathing to release my personality’s anxiety and find my Self again.

This is a year of radical change—and we’re only halfway through.

Five planets and the Lunar Nodes of fate are changing signs, completing their shifts by 2026. The life curriculum is evolving. Something entirely new is on the horizon, still being formed.

The stars don’t make things happen. They describe, symbolically, the energies at play—both collectively and personally. Right now, they describe change that is fast, disruptive, and ultimately evolutionary. Shadow energy must surface so new structures can emerge.

You may be asking yourself:
Is my career still viable in the world that’s coming?
Where should I live?
What news can I trust?
When will life settle down?

The truth is, it’s not going to settle down any time soon. We’re on a fast track toward necessary transformation, and as unsettling as it feels, we must let go of the old forms that no longer serve us—or the Earth. This is how Earth 2.0 rises, from the ashes and the flooded coasts.

So we must settle ourselves.
Find our center.
Trust the process.
And breathe.

Each morning, I breathe slowly and consciously. At first, it's just steady inhales and exhales. Then I begin to hold the breath—at the top, lungs full… and at the bottom, completely empty. This “kumbhaka,” the stillness between breaths, is magic. It’s here we connect with Spirit—where we align with the cosmic frequencies of Oneness and Love.

I invite you to breathe with me.
Every morning, and again at night.

Breathing is not just a spiritual platitude—it’s a practical technique to ground and center ourselves. It helps us hold the vision of a better world and accept the parts we cannot change… yet.
