“This April, the medicine lies in your ability to rest in the essence of self-forgiveness, while expanding your heart open to the love that which you are and so inherently deserve.”

April’s Energy Expression Reading
This month, as Eclipse season is officially upon us, you are being invited to shape-shift into new form, like the petals of a delicate flower unfolding under the caress of the sun.
In the tapestry of time, April unfurls its vibrant energy, painting the canvas of our lives with whispers of renewal and hope. As the Earth awakens from its desolate slumber, so too do our spirits stir, craving the gentle touch of self-compassion from past moments where our judgments may have been diluted with false conditioning rather than honest & higher truth.
In April’s embrace, we find solace for our curious hearts, as we shed the burdens of yesterday and embrace the promise of tomorrow. For in the gentle rhythm of her days, we are reminded that the embodiment of self-forgiveness holds a giant key towards liberation from suffering.
We remember that to forgive oneself is to honor the journey we tread, with all its twists and turns, triumphs and tribulations.
This month, may you open the door towards radical acts of self-forgiveness, releasing the weight of past mistakes while embracing the beauty of all your humanness—all your imperfections.
Let us forgive ourselves for the times we stumbled and the paths we strayed, knowing that each misstep has led us closer to the truth of who we are.
For in the gentle arms of April, we find the courage to let go of what no longer serves us and to embrace the beauty of our own humanity.
Dear one, how will you choose to forgive yourself this April?
Journal Prompts:
Reflect on a decision from your past that you are struggling to forgive yourself for. What emotions come up/where in your body do you feel them the most?
Write a letter to yourself from the perspective of a compassionate friend or mentor. What would they say to you about the mistake you're struggling with?
Explore the lessons you've learned. How has it shaped your values, beliefs, or behavior moving forward? Is there growth or wisdom that you can take with you?
