Heart to Heart

When women enter The Change – Part Four

In early December 2025. I felt a quiet invitation to reshape my wellbeing. It was not born from urgency but from an inner knowing that it was time to return to practices that have always supported me. Fasting is a practice that I have experienced before, both in physical healing and spiritual deepening. Returning to it felt like reconnecting with an ancient conversation within myself.

As I shaped a personal program that felt true to my body and my intuition, a new insight arrived unexpectedly. I discovered the work of Dr. Mindy Pelz and her research on fasting during menopause and post-menopause. Her language and her understanding carved out a clearer path for me and affirmed what my body had already been revealing. It opened a new window into what was unfolding in this season of my life.

Now, only weeks later, something immense has stirred within me. My Sacred Mirroring Spiral feels awakened and illuminated more than ever. The Change no longer feels like a decline or a narrowing; it feels like a widening of consciousness. It feels like a threshold. There is a sense of returning to myself in a way that is both ancient and new.

This opened even further while I was listening to the song Hymn to Her. From an archetypal point of view, I could feel the Crown (Crone) rising. It was the quiet image of a woman who has walked through many seasons and finally places the crown upon her own head with grace. 

She does not seek applause; she simply recognises her own BEING.

This is where the true meaning of Crone and Hag becomes vital to reclaim. Crone speaks to the crown, the radiant wisdom that emanates from a lifetime of lived experience. Hag comes from hagio, meaning holy, a title once given to women of spiritual insight and depth. These words were originally filled with reverence and respect. 

Over time, they were twisted and distorted until they became caricatures that diminished women. The demonising of the Hag and the Crone did not happen by accident. It grew from a culture that feared powerful older women and worked to cast them as something to resist, fear, or mock. This distortion turned aging into something women were taught to hide, deny, battle, and feel ashamed of. It created an illusion that the later years are a descent rather than an ascent. Yet the original truth remains intact beneath the layers of distortion. Many feminist and spiritual communities are now reclaiming these titles to restore their dignity and power. They honour the original holiness of eldership and the strength that comes from a life fully lived.

In my own experience, The Change reveals itself as a fusion of three inner archetypes in the Living Attributes Codex. The Queen embodies sovereignty, self-respect, and a centred presence. The Wise Woman brings lived understanding, kindness, and clear perception. The Alchemist offers transformation, insight, and the ability to turn every experience into meaning and medicine. When these three merge, they create the fullest expression of The Change archetype. They form a powerful inner alliance that sees aging not as decline but as initiation. They recognise this season as a time of sovereignty, coherence, and inner radiance.

My journey with fasting, reflection, research, and intuition has brought me to this realisation. The body and spirit are inseparable, and together they guide me into this new chapter with clarity and courage. The Change is not a diminishing of power, but rather a remembering of it.

It is the awakening of the Crone or the Hag in her original light. It is the fusion of the Queen stepping forward, the Wise Woman watching with understanding and the Alchemist shaping new meaning. It is a woman finally seeing herself as whole and sacred, wearing The Crown that was always waiting for her, and has always been hers to claim.

And we will keep on speaking her name… “WOMAN”

When women enter The Change – Part Three

When you listen closely to the language of women across generations, you begin to hear a kind of quiet poetry. Long before medicine named and measured it, women spoke of The Change. Not as a diagnosis, not as a defect, but as a passage. A threshold and a new season that arrived in its own time and asked to be met with patience, humour, and deep knowing.

The phrase “the change’ emerged in the 19th and early 20th centuries, when menopause was neither openly discussed nor clinically understood as it is today. In many Western cultures, it became a respectful coy term, partly shaped by modesty, yes, but also by reverence. It acknowledged that something fundamental was shifting without reducing it to symptoms alone. Hormones were not the centre of the story; the woman was.

What was understood intuitively, and often spoken about in kitchens, gardens, and women’s circles, was that this was not an ending. It was a reorientation; a woman was changing her relationship to time, energy, creativity, and authority. Monthly cycles softened or ceased, and with that came a subtle but profound redistribution of life force. The body was no longer organised around reproduction, but around wisdom, discernment, truth-telling and storytelling.

Anthropologists and historians have since noted that in many traditional societies, women who moved beyond their bleeding years were granted increased social and spiritual authority. They became advisers, storytellers, healers, and guardians of memory. Freed from fertility, they were seen as holding a broader view and less tethered to the immediate demands of survival, more attuned to the long arc of life. In this context, the change was not something to endure, but something to grow into.

The modern medical term menopause, from the Greek men (month) and pausis (pause), is precise but narrow. It names the cessation of menstruation, not the expansion of consciousness that often accompanies it. It only speaks to what stops, rather than what begins. And perhaps this is why so many women today feel a quiet inappropriateness. Their lived experience is far richer, more complex, and more transformative than the language often allows.

In my opinion, the return to the change is not to reject science or progress, but actually to widen the lens. To recognise that this phase is as much psychological, emotional, and spiritual as it is biological. It is a recalibration of identity, a new type of shedding, of those roles that no longer fit. A deep invitation to inhabit the self more fully, more honestly, with more sovereignly.

My mother, my nana, and my great-grandmother were not being vague when they used those words “The Change” They were being specific in a different way and were naming a truth that lives beyond charts and timelines. A truth that understands a woman’s life as cyclical, full of physical and spiritual initiations, and meaning at every stage.

Perhaps the quiet wisdom of the change is something we are ready to reclaim now, not as nostalgia, but as remembrance. 

The Collective Archetype of “The Change“

And for me, with my strong sense of the archetypal world, it feels perfect to give homage to all stages of womanhood, from the cradle to the tomb, we are WOMAN…

We start as a Child at the breast, to a Maiden in bloom. We change again as the Sacred Mother and caretaker, and experience a rush of our magical, re-productive energy as the Enchantress. And then the Wise Woman, the Alchemist and the Queen fuse and become one as our “Change” finds a new beginning.

Queen
Alchemist
Wise Woman

Again, a reminder that this passage of The Change is not a problem to be fixed, but a turning of the inner archetypal forces. And like all true archetypal changes, they carry within them the promise of becoming more fully who we already are.

When women enter The Change – Part Two

You may be wondering why I am speaking so openly about bodies, hormones, sleep, hunger, stiffness, and fatigue, especially when my work, and this space, is devoted to purpose, living attributes, and archetypes.

At first glance, it may seem left-field.

Yet for me, it sits at the very centre of a woman’s evolution.

The Living Attributes Codex is not just an abstract philosophy. It is something we feel and grow our way into, something we embody. And embodiment, especially for women, is inseparable from the seasons of the body. Purpose cannot fully anchor itself in a nervous system that feels unsafe, misunderstood, or at war with its own rhythms.

Perimenopause and post-menopause are not detours from a woman’s path. They are very important thresholds.

For many women, this is the first time in their lives that their body demands to be truly listened to rather than overridden. The first time productivity gives way to pure presence, and the first time in our lives, the old strategies stop working. This is not a failure of will; it’s a summoning into your deeper intelligence.

Over the past decade, and especially in the last five years, much has been revealed. 

Experiences once dismissed as anxiety, depression, lack of motivation, or loss of relevance are now being understood through a clearer lens. We are finally naming what women have felt in silence for generations. The fog, the exhaustion, the sudden shifts in weight, mood, sleep, and loss of identity. These were not personal shortcomings; they were misread transitions.

Our ancestors knew this; in many cultures, menopause was not medicated or considered just old age. It marked a woman’s elevation, her movement into the council, the circle of decision-making, the role of seer, strategist, and guide. Her energy was no longer siphoned outward. It was consolidated inward. The body changed because the role changed.

Seen through this lens, practices such as gentle fasting are not about fixing the body. They are about supporting the extended initiation. About helping the body reorganise itself so that one’s renewal of purpose can land cleanly, without distortion or depletion.

And that is why I speak about these things here. I am 67 this year, so this has indeed been my own experience, and I’m now well into post menopause, but I prefer not to call it that anymore. My mother, her mother and her mother all referred to it as “The Change”, and I am going to continue that tradition. I think it is a wonderful reminder of what is actually happening. 

A reminder that empowerment without change and embodiment is simply a construct or performance, and purpose without physiological support can become a strain.

The Living Attributes Codex asks a woman to live in coherence, between her values, her nervous system, her metabolism, her intuition, her attributes, her archetypes and her choices. When the body is honoured during this transition, clarity returns. 

Discernment sharpens, boundaries strengthen, and a woman no longer needs to push herself to be purposeful; she knows she is. Purpose rises naturally, as a consequence of internal alignment with the Sacred Mirroring Spiral.

The Change (perimenopause and post-menopause) is not a problem to be solved. It’s just a developmental phase that has been misunderstood, under-resourced, and historically silenced. 

When we meet The Change with education, reverence, self-trust, and self-love, it becomes deeply empowering; it is not a story of loss, but rather a story of recalibration. One of authority moving inward, and of women reclaiming their rightful centre and place in their family and community.

Your body is not broken, your purpose has not faded, you are simply entering the years where the two finally meet… You can’t have a purpose without a body, and your body knows it needs a purpose. My new mantra is LOVE MY BODY FIRST

I am very excited, I hope you are, too

Spiralling into 2026

Happy New Year, wondrous Souls

As the days quietly unfold into 2026, I’ve been senseing that we are stepping onto a new turn of the Sacred Mirroring Spiral within the Living Attributes Codex. A new cycle doesn’t arrive with a bang, it always arrives more like a remembering. A familiar feeling, met from a slightly different place within ourselves.

Because the spiral moves in a twelve month rhythm, January often carries a reflective quality. It’s the first month, yes, but it’s also a return point. I’ve noticed over the years that things can resurface around this time. Old memories, childhood themes and familiar emotions. 

Sometimes even stories that feel much older than this lifetime. Not because we’re going backwards, but because we’re ready to meet them again with more awareness.

For me, January always sits strongly in the physical realm and over the past few days, I found myself revisiting some of the past life stories I wrote for Wisdom of the Ages. I wasn’t doing it intentionally at first, but the revisiting of a sore knee made me notice how present these stories suddenly felt. Yet this time, I was meeting them from a very different place. Not as stories on a page, but as living experiences that now make sense in a deeper, more embodied way. The stories hadn’t changed, I had and came with some significant synchronicities. 

This is one of the ways the spiral works. It doesn’t repeat things to frustrate us or keep us stuck. When something comes back around, it’s usually because we now have the capacity to hold it differently. With more compassion. More steadiness. More self trust. What once felt unresolved often returns asking only to be witnessed from who we are now.

I wanted to share this with you because many of you may be noticing similar things. A sense of déjà vu. A feeling that something familiar from your past is entering your awareness again. Rather than pushing it away or over analysing it, try gently asking what this moment is offering you now. 

What feels ready to be integrated rather than fixed?

Working with the spiral means understanding that life isn’t moving in straight lines. It’s unfolding in living patterns that support our growth. Nothing is here to punish or test you. It’s all information, arriving at just the right time, shaped by how far you’ve already come.

As you move through January, allow yourself to be curious. Notice what’s resurfacing without judgement. Trust that the spiral is working with you, not against you. You are not being pulled back. You are being invited deeper, and a little higher, at the same time.

May this month feel spacious, may it feel kind, and may you sense the quiet intelligence of the Living Attributes Codex beneath your feet, reminding you that every return carries new wisdom, and every cycle brings you closer to your own embodied truth.

What Is Meant for You Will Not Pass You By

A reflection through the Sacred Mirroring Spiral

There is a valuable knowing throughout ancient teachings, and also present at the heart of the Living Attributes Codex: what is meant for you will not pass you by. Not because life is fixed or destiny is rigid, but because life is responsive. It listens, it mirrors and spirals back to us what we are ready to receive.

Within the Sacred Mirroring Spiral, this statement becomes less of a comforting phrase and more a universal lore. The Spiral carries memory; an ancestral, archetypal, soul-deep reminder that life does not move in straight lines or deadlines.

It moves in rhythms of readiness. What we call “delay” is often gestation. What we call “loss” is frequently redirection. What we call “missing out” is usually a form of protection against arriving too early or too unprepared for what carries weight and responsibility.

The Sacred Mirroring Spiral reveals that life is always reflecting our inner state to us, not as punishment or reward, but as a story and a signal. As within, so without. When something truly belongs on your path, it cannot escape the gravity of your purpose. It may circle wide, approach slowly, wait until your nervous system can hold it, your heart can carry it, and your identity has expanded enough to sustain it. But it will return.

This is where the Spiral differs from linear striving. In linear time, we chase outcomes. In spiral time, we cultivate alignment. The Living Attributes Codex reminds us that attributes such as trust, discernment, patience, courage, devotion, and self-faith are not passive virtues, they are tuning instruments. They attune us to resonance, and resonance, according to the old lore, is what determines timing.

What is meant for you does not arrive through force? It comes through coherence.

When we act from comparison, urgency, or fear of being left behind, we step out of the Spiral and into distortion. We attempt to pull experiences toward us before they have ripened. The mirror then responds faithfully, not by delivering the thing itself, but by reflecting the tension, the strain, or the dissatisfaction that comes from premature grasping. The lore is gentle but precise: returning you to your centre.

The Spiral asks a different question than “When will it happen?” It asks, “Who am I being while I wait?”

Because your personal and spiritual development is not empty time, it is the unseen labour of your soul and psyche aligning. It is the refinement of your desire into clarity, and it is the softening of attachment into trust. And it’s remembering that nothing essential is lost on your Sacred Spiral, only your illusions of control.

What is meant for you will not pass you by does not mean that life hands us everything we want. It means life honours what we are in a truthful relationship with. If something slips away, it is often because it was aligned with an earlier version of you or with a story that no longer fits the architecture of your soul. The mirror does not remove without reason; it clears space for a more coherent connection.

The Seed Of The Soul

Within the Living Attributes Codex, this understanding is repeated like a sacred folklore passed from one inner elder to another, and the outer world rearranges itself in response to this inner integration. As you embody your living attributes, rather than merely understand them, your path stabilises. Fewer detours are required, fewer lessons need to be repeated, and the Spiral can advance your resonance through coherence.

Your trust, then, is not a blind faith, but rather an intimate relationship with the intelligence of life. There is a profound peace that comes when we stop racing the Spiral. When we no longer try to outrun our own maturation. When we allow the mirroring of the spiral to show us not what we lack, but what is forming, in that space, longing transforms into listening, and waiting becomes witnessing. And real arrival, when it comes, feels inevitable rather than surprising.

What is meant for you cannot miss you because it is not separate from you. It is encoded in the Seed of your Soul, it’s in your readiness, and in your willingness to meet life honestly. The Spiral does not forget because sacred lore always remembers.

And when the moment arrives, quietly, naturally, without fanfare, you will recognise it not by urgency, but by ease. Not by grasping, but by resonance, not by fear of loss, but by a deep, embodied knowing: This has arrived because I have arrived at myself.

UNLOCK THE POWER OF YOUR SACRED SPIRAL

Seed of the Soul

Remembering My Origin Story and the Living Attributes Codex

Revelation comes in whispers long before it steps into the light. What first appears as a quiet message from the unseen gradually reveals itself as the guiding force it has always been.

For years, I felt the presence of this message, long before I understood its meaning. It arrived as a subtle echo, a reminder I could sense but not yet articulate. Only through deep inner work—through retreats, rituals, and the willingness to face my own origins—did its significance begin to crystallise.

Lately, so many pieces have fallen into place. What I once experienced as fragmented insights now feel like a cohesive story of remembering. The Origin Story retreat, the Living Grace work, and even the spontaneous awakenings I wasn’t expecting have all guided me back to a truth I had carried all along: everything I was searching for has always been within me.

The Impulse to Exist: My Mission is Rooted in my Origin Story

Throughout my life, I’ve felt a persistent impulse—an urgency that wasn’t about achievement, but about being here with purpose. It often felt ancient, as though it belonged to a mission that began long before this lifetime. At times, I sensed I had something to complete, something essential to fulfil as part of my very existence.

As I’ve reconnected with deeper layers of my origin story, I’ve come to understand that this impulse wasn’t random. It was encoded. It was woven into my soul from the beginning, shaping my path and repeating itself until I was ready to remember.

The Living Attributes Codex: My Inner Map of Sovereignty

One of the most profound recognitions has been understanding that I carry a codex within me, a living blueprint of my essential attributes. It has been guiding my decisions, my sensitivities, and my orientation to life for as long as I can remember.

This codex is not something I was meant to study outside myself. It is something I was meant to remember.

Within it live the elements that have consistently appeared in my journey:

  • The Seed
  • The Spiral
  • The Soul
  • The Self-referencing field
  • The Sun
  • The Stillness
  • The Sovereignty

These aren’t mere symbols to me. They are living intelligences; parts of my inner architecture that have always been communicating, waiting for me to notice their coherence and significance.

The Seed of My Soul: My Original Encoding

Just as a seed contains the entire potential of a tree, the seed of my soul holds my entire blueprint.

Within this seed lives:

  • My Core Essence
  • My Innate Wisdom
  • My Direction of Evolution
  • My Original Frequency
  • The Memory of My Mission and Purpose

Recognising the seed of my soul has given me a sense of sovereignty I didn’t know I was missing. It reminded me that I cannot grow into who I truly am without returning to my origin story and honouring the truth I hold within it.

The Sacred Spiral: How My Consciousness Moves

My awakening hasn’t happened in straight lines, it has been happening in spirals.

I’ve felt myself revisiting certain themes, lessons, and memories over and over, each time from a new vantage point. This spiral pattern mirrors the very geometry of life itself:

  • The galaxies above
  • The DNA within
  • The unfolding of nature
  • And the turning of my own awareness

Every time I’ve revisited an experience, a memory, or a question, it has carried me deeper into understanding. This is the Sacred Spiral at work; constantly in motion, constantly returning, and constantly expanding.

My Resonant Field: A Spiral Within Spirals

I’ve come to feel my own resonant field, an energetic atmosphere that holds my history, my patterns, and my potential. It shifts with my awareness. It expands when I remember who I am. And at its centre, I can sense my seed of divinity; my true origins glowing quietly.

Just as the Milky Way revolves around its Great Central Sun, I revolve around the centre of my own being, the luminous seed that holds everything I am meant to become.

This seed is the still point within my spiral and is the essence from which my entire life unfolds.

How the Living Attributes Codex Works in Me

The Living Attributes Codex reveals itself in lived experience. It has shown me how my inner architecture actually functions:

1. It brings me back to my original seed.

I begin remembering who I truly am, beyond conditioning or expectation.

2. It reactivates my Living Attributes.

The 84 attributes awaken for me to notice them, each one interconnected with the others.

3. It restores my ability to self-reference.

Instead of looking outward for direction, I turn inward to my own centre.

4. It recalibrates my resonant field.

Clarity increases. Intuition sharpens. My energy becomes coherent again.

5. It guides my unfolding.

Like a seed responding to the right conditions, I grow naturally into what I already am.

Remembering My Sovereign Nature

This journey has brought me back to my sovereignty, not as a stance of control, but as a state of inner resonance. Sovereignty for me is the alignment of truth, presence, and purpose that arises naturally from remembering my origin story.

I don’t have to teach sovereignty. I embody it.

I don’t have to explain the Codex. I live it.

I don’t have to seek my purpose. I remember it.

Because the seed of my soul has always known how to grow. It simply waited for the moment I was ready to recognise what was living inside me.
