Your 2025 Mission: Spread Magic
“A happy baby has shining eyes. It walks open-hearted into the world and spreads magic.” —Sigrid Leo
This is a place where grandmothers hold babies on their laps under the stars and whisper in their ears that the lights in the sky are holes in the floor of heaven. ~ Rick Bragg
A tiny smile flickering on a baby’s lips as he passes into a deep slumber has tremendous power. It can restore hope and joy to a family whose members have been torn apart by bitter conflict. Similarly, the Sensitive Souls with whom I’m privileged to work are quietly spreading magic wherever they go.
Sensitive Souls are resolving old conflicts, healing grievances and updating their beliefs about themselves and about life at lightning speed. They have been quantum leaping into the more joyful, wise and loving versions of themselves that their souls always knew was possible. As they make peace with the past, their childlike wonder returns and they quickly become who they were always meant to be: bearers of love and light, light workers ushering in a new golden era for humanity.
Free of emotional baggage and no longer defined by obsolete standards, these Sensitive Souls naturally shine. They’ve become more lighthearted as a result of the heavy lifting they’ve done to shed any disempowering beliefs they’ve accumulated along the way. They’re becoming ever more flexible and able to adapt readily to novel situations, making them great leaders in times of unprecedented challenge. Restored to themselves, their confidence and high vibe enables them to effortlessly connect with and uplift the spirits of everyone around them, just by being true to who they are.
Ever notice how quiet it seems when the electrical power goes out suddenly? When the small, clingy, thin-skinned, “separate self” quits clamoring constantly for your attention, the mind becomes just as still, alert and open to inspiration. To survive the slings and arrows of life, we each fabricated this “separate self” that we’re then obliged to protect and promote 24/7, but it’s exhausting trying to maintain that which is not truly you.
The “separate self” is actually a petty, frightened tyrant who rules over you … until you acknowledge and befriend it. Once you’ve made it an ally, your “separate self” will make fewer urgent demands and you will start to more clearly hear the soul’s whispers meant to guide you toward your chosen destiny. The more you become soul-led, the less bothered you will be about the past and the flaws of other people. The more you can remain present with what is, the more easily you will harmonize with the world around you and flow naturally into what could be.
Sensitive Souls are on a mission to spread magic in 2025. By allowing the soul to influence the personality, they are accomplishing more with less effort: They know when to initiate and when to hold back; they quit forcing and develop greater trust in the flow of life; they surrender their personal agenda to the greater wisdom of divine timing; they balance their impulse to be of service with self-loving boundaries, making them effective peacemakers who do not burn out. When they release the need to solve the problems of others and stay focused on aligning with their soul, their service to others is amplified in ways that can seem magical.
Paradoxically, Sensitive Souls discover that it is by relinquishing their need for control that they gain something even more valuable: freedom from the unnecessary suffering generated by the mind.
When compared to the hard won-advances made by spiritual practitioners in decades past, I’m awed by the ever-quickening pace at which spiritual awakening is proceeding now in Sensitive Souls. As frontrunners of planetary transformation, they were born for this; they’ve been engaged in hard core spiritual basic training, in some cases, for decades. They’ve made the fundamental shifts in perspective that enable them to be led by inspiration, rather than by inherited shoulds and outdated but widely accepted norms. They can relax and trust that synchronicity and divine timing are in play, even when everyone around them is freaking out.
In 2025, the task of a Sensitive Soul is to generate, maintain and anchor a higher frequency of light in their physical body. We emanate a higher frequency of light when we:
relax our expectations so that we can stay present to what is happening around us.
surrender fearful clinging to symbols of security, approval and control.
remain open hearted even when we’re brokenhearted.
You can rest assured that you are doing your part to usher in the change you wish to see in the world when you shine in your unique way. Like a human lighthouse in a raging storm, you are guiding others to safety not by “saving” or “instructing” them, but by merely emanating the joy and lightness of being wherever you go. When you embrace life as a sacred opportunity to grow in love and wisdom, your light starts to get so bright that it can beckon the lost and shipwrecked ones home to safety.
If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. We are not wise, and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed.
Still life has some possibility left. Perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happened better than all the riches or power in the world. It could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins. That’s often the case. Anyway, whatever it is, don’t be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb. (Don't Hesitate)― Mary Oliver
Sensitive Souls, you are consciousness pioneers who have traversed a challenging inner landscape to reclaim your Real Self. Now it’s time to road test your Real Self by bringing it to bear on the chaos ahead. As we kiss 2024 goodbye and prepare for 2025, you may notice that the pace of life “out there” quickens. Do not try to match it with hyperactivity. Instead, consciously slow down. Become present. Breathe. Pause. Connect with your heart and soul. Then speak or do.
It's time for Sensitive Souls to fearlessly shine, quite literally: Love glows in you now just as it did when you were a tiny infant. It emanates from your heart and ripples out like an intoxicating fragrance. As others catch a whiff of it, they’re drawn in and merge with it, thereby amplifying their love light quotient. Only an amplification and “contagion” of pure love can awaken us to our shared humanity in the face of dehumanizing trends that would reduce us to soulless robots.
When you finally realize that joy is less fireworks more firefly, less orchestra more birdsong, she will come back much more often. Joy will not fight with the fast pace of this life. She is not in the shiny or the new. She breathes in the basic shimmers in the simple and dances in the daily to and fro.
Joy has been beckoning you for many a year my friend, you were just too busy doing to see thievery. Next time joy wraps her quiet warmth around you as the garden embraces your weary body in its wildness, tip her a nod. You cannot force her to stay, but if you are a gracious host joy comes back. ~ Donna Ashworth
As the promoters of medical/political/technological “progress” try to seduce us out of our humanity with false promises, we need the honest discernment of spiritually mature individuals to guide us through this momentous shift in consciousness by their example.
The world needs you, Sensitive Soul. Your ability to remain soft in a hard world that’s been unkind to you is your superpower. The world needs wise, loving and humble beings who can withstand the pressure of being surrounded by evil and yet refuse to succumb to its wiles; it needs light workers to blaze a trail out of the maelstrom of darkness that’s been created by our collective lust for power. To thrive as individuals and as a species, light workers need to activate a power of love so strong that it can counteract the deadening and devastating effects of humanity’s age old love of power.
We need Sensitive Souls who can keep their heads when all about them are losing theirs. We need the Real You to show up and play the part you agreed to before birth and not get sidetracked by the spectacle unfolding around us. There is so much confusion and division, but you only have one job, Sensitive Soul, shine like there’s no tomorrow.
Be the light.
Be the love.
Be the truth.
Be the calm.
Be the unity.
I’m all in! 2025…let the Magic continue. 🧚💕
Katie,
As I read this I could feel my heart beating faster. I don't know if that was because I felt energized by what you were saying, or because it was scaring me to death! Either way.
At this point in time, there's really only one way to go if one wants to thrive, hold your nose and jump in with both feet.
One of those old sayings comes to mind: "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger." And who knows, it could be fun!!
Thanks for this inspiring essay. So well done.
