Sleep disturbances are a common experience due to the transformational times you are participating in. This can occur for a few different reasons.

Some energetic shifts require you to be awake but still in order to receive them. This is not unlike some brain surgeries you see where the patient needs to be awake during the procedure. It is designed for you to receive and assimilate the changes in ways that best support your health and wellness.

Some planetary alignments and shifts can have a stimulating effect on you energetically, making it difficult to sleep or stay asleep. If you find yourself awake in the middle of the night, it can be very helpful to use that time to meditate. This will help you relax, as well as having the added benefit of the meditation having a similar effect on the body as sleep.

Sometimes your soul wakes you up at night if you have not been making enough time for deeper contemplation or spiritual connection. This can be rectified by prioritizing your prayer or meditation practices during the day.

Another thing we wish for you to be aware of is if you are feeling tired from a lack of sleep, you can simply ask your guides and helpers to infuse you with energy so you can be functional during the day.

Dear Ones, we understand that after such an intense time of release it can be difficult to identify with what brings you joy. This does not mean that your ability to experience joy is gone! It is normal to have your preferences shift and evolve as you do. Making new discoveries and having new experiences is very much part of the next phase of your incarnation, which you are about to step into, so do not despair. All you need to do is ask to be guided into the discovery of what brings you joy and be open to that exploration and unfoldment. Be secure in the fact that the universe will always seek to fill a void, and after you have let go of so much it is only natural that better energetic matches will come to round out your experiences. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young

You are well aware the 2020 was a year of energetic amplification. Why not use this to your advantage? If there is something you wish to enjoy more of as part of your experience, we suggest you incorporate it into your life now, no matter how small an amount, and allow the energies to amplify it for you. There is great wisdom in doing this before the solstice, as solstices lock in your energetic progress, one of the many, many reasons this particular solstice is so pivotal on your journey. Rather than feeling like you are at the mercy of the energies, it is well within your abilities to creatively work with them and allow them to water the seeds you wish to sow. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young

We understand you are in intense energetic times and this can be felt in a variety of ways. We wish to offer you some energetic adjustments you can use for common discomforts.

Unbalanced: If you are feeling unbalanced, this can be rectified by simply imagining a beautiful column of light that comes down from the heavens, right over your body, and into the ground below you. This is a very balancing practice that allows you to connect to your homes that exist both above and below the veil. This also allows you to be a supportive bridge of light between the two.

Spacey: If you are feeling dizzy, scattered, or unfocused, we suggest grounding. Get your bare feet onto the earth (or lie on Mother Earth, even better!). If you are not able to do that due to the climate or other restrictions that exist where you live, you can simply imagine yourself standing on the planet and having roots coming from your feet connecting you to the earth. Eating root vegetables, nuts, chocolate, a large meal, or engaging in any activity that is focused on the care and movement of your body can also be helpful.

General energetic discomfort: If you are just feeling uncomfortable with the energies, immersing yourself in salt water can provide a quick and effective energetic cleansing.

Out of alignment: If you feel out of alignment, meditation can be a great help. Or you can simply send your soul into a better alignment with your intention as you are in charge of your energetics.

Dear Ones, you know this year has been unlike any other. Allow your lives to be transformed. Trust the process. Get excited about where you are going and what will naturally open up to you after such a long period of sustained intensity. Know that you have been creating space for the new, and be curious and open to discover what that means. If you follow your hearts and your dreams and are willing to receive and flow, there is much that can be accomplished as you step into the new, and yes, that means external forward movement after a year that has focused largely on the internal. You are ready. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
