It's Time to Embark on Your Spiritual Quest

Two weeks ago, we talked about riding the storm of massive energy shifts in your body, mind,
and spirit. It was a time of a huge surge of digging deep, cracking open old wounds, and healing. Many of us felt battered and broken, confused and hopeless. But we dug in and did the work. We held on, building the belief in ourselves and each other. We came through the darkness together, now feeling more connected than ever. Now on the other side of much of that hard work, you can breathe a sigh of relief. April promises to be a calmer month as we venture past the old familiar components of our lives that are no longer needed and move into new territory. We made it through the twists and turns of the last few months and conquered the illusions that have kept us feeling trapped in old patterns for so long. We have released so much, have triumphed in our shadow work, and are ready to embark on the next phase of our Spiritual journey. Are you ready to move forward?
New Energy for New Beginnings
As we move into the first few days of this month, there is an energy of calmness for me as well as others I have connected with. In contrast to the deep sadness and triggered frustration I was working through as recently as last week, this week I feel as if I am in a sea of calm – more stable and less like a ship without a rudder. Even in our community meeting this week there was a sense of quiet accomplishment and calm. No one really needed huge supports to move forward. Everyone could reflect on massive growth over the last several weeks. It was beautiful to just sit in the serenity of the group. Despite the chaos in the world around us, Spirit is giving us an opportunity to centre, to find our peace. How are you doing? Has the energy of hard work and complexity settled down for you? Is the peace and calm starting to seep into your mind, body, and soul?
If your world is still a bit turbulent, don’t worry. Spirit reassures us that this month, and soon, the calm will find you. It is the starting place for the next leg of your journey as you evolve spiritually. The New Moon and partial eclipse we just experienced last week was an
opportunity for a final release and healing to make space for new beginnings. Spirit is reminding us to “open to your potential in your heart.” Pull away from the chaos of our world and become the neutral observer. I know that is easier said than done, but the belief that everything happens on Divine purpose may help you to step away from judgement, fear, and worry. Spirit is encouraging us to find that centre, that peace, we are to “leave the mind behind, breathe, be still, and go into the heart.” There we will rediscover the peace, harmony, wisdom, and beauty within. As the channelled entity Bashar has said, we can see ourselves as the “eye of the storm.” We are the peace in the chaos of the world around us. We are called to spread that energy to others and to Mother Earth herself.
New Gifts and Connection
As the new energies of this month support us, many of us will experience a deeper connection to Spirit and new gifts opening. We will gain clarity where there was once vagueness or confusion. I know several of you may have felt totally “disconnected” from Spirit lately. That is because the way we connect is changing. As we have evolved so has our connection, the way we communicate with Spirit. This might be through new gifts opening. For example, if you have connected with Spirit through signs such as seeing frequent number sequences, perhaps now you have developed a “knowing” about certain things you have questions about. You may also meet new Guides or Angels. I just discovered that one of my angels who has always presented herself as “Muriel,” is actually an Archangel of peace and harmony, unconditional love and compassion. (Learn how Archangel Muriel can support you here: Archangel Muriel) Ascended Masters may reach out to you or you may develop a connection with passed loved ones.
If you are still feeling somewhat disconnected, relax and capture the peace in your heart. Your intuitive gifts are not lost, they are just shifting. Spirit is advising you to be patient, pay attention to the subtleties, and never lose faith that Spirit is always with you, supporting you. As you relax and focus on the moment, you may recognize more synchronicities in your life that you had previously chalked up to coincidence. Believe that they are Divinely orchestrated for you by Spirit. They are always working to support your highest good.
What about you? Has your connection to Spirit shifted? For a while I was struggling to really feel love and happiness in my heart, and it was difficult to do my morning meditation without repeated distraction. My mind would interrupt with random thoughts, and it was difficult to “get in the flow.” Initially I was frustrated with myself – what was I “doing wrong?” Then I got
the subtle message, “try it differently.” So, I changed my physical space for my meditation and most importantly, I stopped “trying” to connect. Instead, I just “allowed” the connection to happen. I let go of my short-lived frustration and self judgement and trusted that there was a reason for what was happening, and that Spirit was still with me. As I let that calm settle within me this past week, not only am I connecting effortlessly to Spirit again, but they have also “changed it up.” There are new places to send healing to in my morning meditation and the healing looks different. I feel a closer connection to Source and the love that comes in is more frequently so overwhelming it brings me to tears. The tears of sadness from last month have been replaced with tears of being loved. So, if you are feeling stuck, perhaps “try it differently.”
As our DNA shifts and adjusts to the Earth’s new frequencies, some of us are experiencing physical changes/symptoms that don’t seem to have a medical explanation. Some of this may be gifts expanding or new gifts opening. For example, my vision has been going through inconsistent and episodic changes. The glasses prescribed for close up work are now sometimes also clear for distance. At times I don’t need my glasses at all! At the same time as my physical vision is shifting, so is my “psychic vision.” Spirit is coming in clearer and closer. Last night it was very clear my father came from the other side for a visit and recently I enjoyed some fairies that came in. I am also becoming more aware of when my intuition tells me of things to come. I have often had premonitions but usually wrote them off as worries or frivolous thoughts. This last week however, the messages are so clear and are almost immediately followed up with the event actually occurring. Perhaps this is finetuning of a gift, or perhaps I am just tuned into it more. How about you? Has your intuition sharpened? Is your body changing in “strange and mysterious ways?” Do you have new gifts opening up? As Lee Harris, Energy Intuitive and Channeler, predicts for April, we will develop heightened awareness and an expansion of extrasensory perception skills. So, take your time and feel into any changes you are perceiving. Be gentle with yourself. Everything will come in the perfect timing. Spend some quiet time reflecting and acknowledge the changes you are experiencing. Spirit reminds us not to discount our intuitive gifts but to acknowledge them so they will flourish.
The New You
A new you is emerging on this spiritual quest. Some of you have gone through massive health challenges in these last few months as your body responded to the new frequencies coming in. Your body has been physically purging what no longer serves you. As well, as you have shed the beliefs, thoughts, and actions that led your life to this point. Your soul is now remembering who you truly are. Amongst the chaos of the world around you, your peace and calm will allow you to examine old beliefs, and you will begin to recognize experiences, people, environments, etc. that no longer align with who you are. This feeling of estrangement may be disconcerting at first when what was once familiar begins to feel strange or foreign. Along with your physical changes, your perspective may be changing. How you view the world may shift. Some of what you have believed to be true for a lifetime will start to feel false. For those of you who are empathic, the impact of this may be several-fold as you also start to feel others who are going through the same transition.
With all of the change around us and within us we need to proceed slowly. There is no rush to get to the “next level” or to skillfully hone our gifts or rush out to share them with the world.
Give yourself time to feel as if you are on a firm footing. As the fourth month, April is about creating a firm foundation to move forward from. Today, April 4, supports us with the powerful energy of the 4/4 portal to create that stability and balance for transformation. (To learn more about the 4/4 portal see: 4/4 Portal 2025 Meaning: Manifest Stability and Transformation) Balance is a predominant theme not only for this month, but for this year as we juggle the letting go of the old and making space for the new. Allow yourself to cocoon and get to know the new you. Practice even a small bit of self care every day. Treat yourself kindly. With patience you will start to understand the changes you have gone through, your enhanced connection to your truth will become clear. You will get reacquainted with the parts of you that have been dormant or hidden for years. As past acquaintances and support systems may fall away, trust that Spirit is always with you. Be open to new people and experiences. Set your intentions for moving forward. Follow your intuition, your guidance from Spirit.
Integration
As you continue on this spiritual quest this month, more doors will open, and Spirit is inviting
you to step through. Rediscover parts of you that have been hidden or dormant until now. Be in your peaceful heart and allow love and joy in. You have turned a corner. Look around you with new eyes. What you once worried about as a world in chaos with crumbling, discordant structures, you can now see as clearing the way for a bright future. Relationships that may have been steady for years may fall away as you both seek new growth. You can feel energetically “lighter” as you embrace new possibilities and set your intentions for the future. Your world will be what you make it. Each decision you make fashions your next moment. Why not spend each moment in love and joy then? Allow yourself to enjoy life, from savouring the taste of good food, to basking in the warmth of the sun on your face, to reveling in the loving embrace of another. The smallest, beautiful things can create the next “big moment.”
Above all, continue your quest to connect to the true you. We are complicated beings experiencing life on this planet. We have many layers to unravel, as I spoke about over a year ago now in another blog. Beneath the surface thoughts of the mind are beliefs that are
shifting. In your heart you will find grounding and a tethering to your soul. There you will find peace, infinite love, and the wisdom that has always resided within. You will find clarity about
who you are at a soul level and why you are here. So, Spirit is saying, “stay the course.”
Believe in yourself and in the messages Spirit is sending you every single day. Connect with your heart, go within, away from the external chaos or busy lives, noisy media, and demanding people. In that inner calm you will hea those messages. Those messages will support you moving forward fearlessly on your quest and, to sustain that journey, the loudest message will be, “Peace be with you.”
Sending you love and light,
Marilyn
