My purpose isn’t something I find. It’s something I remember—a golden thread running through every season of my life, quietly calling me back to myself. Activating my purpose begins with tracing my own sacred storylines.
What lights me up without explanation?
What breaks my heart open and reveals my humanity?
And what remains, even when everything else has changed?
These storylines aren’t just memories—they’re messages. They are my soul’s breadcrumbs, guiding me toward deeper self-recognition. To truly activate my purpose, I must become a devoted listener. I listen to the voice of my archetypes—those timeless energies that animate my actions and infuse my being with meaning. I tune in to my dreams—both the ones I experience at night and the waking visions that pull at my spirit. And I trust my deep longings—they are not weaknesses to be silenced, but sacred clues to my becoming.
I ask myself: What does the world need that only I can give?
This isn’t about ego. It’s about essence. When I allow purpose to move through me, it becomes more than an idea. It becomes embodied—felt in my body, heard in my voice, seen in my presence. And this is where my personal brand comes in—not as a logo or tagline, but as a living field that carries my frequency, my values, and my truth.
My brand becomes the sacred vehicle of my purpose—
Embodied in how I show up.
Expressed in how I serve.
And evolving as I grow.
Activating my purpose is not a one-time event. It’s a continuous, co-creative dance between my highest self and the ever-changing landscape of life. It asks for my presence, my courage, and my willingness to say yes to my unique assignment in this lifetime. So, I take a breath. I trace my stories. I listen deeply. I serve wholeheartedly. And I let the light of my purpose illuminate the path—not just for me, but for all those I’m here to touch.
And if something in these words resonates with you—if you feel a stirring in your heart or a spark of remembrance—I invite you to explore this path too. Begin to trace your own golden thread. Trust your stories, your dreams, your longings. Let purpose become something you live, breathe, and embody.
Together, we illuminate more than just our own way forward—We light the way for others. ~ Heart to Heart, Elizabeth

Today I am talking about the importance of taking care of yourself while you move through our collective spiritual, emotional and evolutionary shift.
Self-Care for Deep Recalibration
As we live and move through these intense and extraordinary times, many of us engaged in deep clearing, integration, and healing are experiencing profound shifts—not just mentally and emotionally, but physically as well. The transformation we are undergoing is not merely conceptual; it is visceral, cellular, and deeply embodied. Even though we dedicate ourselves to meditation, sharing, and processing, the depth of this work is having a tangible recalibration effect on the body, requiring us to be even more intentional about self-care.
At times, it can feel like being in a pressure cooker—where everything unresolved is rising to the surface, demanding attention and release. This internal alchemy is accelerating, and as old wounds, ancestral imprints, past life experiences and conditioned responses dissolve, the body itself is adjusting to new frequencies, new ways of being, new timelines and an expanded state of awareness.
Understanding the Physical Impact of Recalibration
When we engage in deep healing, our nervous system, muscles, and energy field all respond dynamically. Some of the physical effects may include:
Fatigue or exhaustion due to the energetic shifts occurring at a rapid pace.
Body aches and tension, especially around the shoulders, neck, and lower back, as old energetic imprints release.
Heightened sensitivity to food, sound, people, and environments as our energetic field recalibrates.
Sleep disturbances as subconscious processing intensifies, especially during key lunar or cosmic cycles.
Emotional waves that manifest physically, such as tightness in the chest, digestive issues, or fluctuations in temperature.
These are all signs that the body is recalibrating, and rather than resisting, the key is to support the body in its adjustment with care and patience.
How to Look After Yourself During Deep Recalibration
Nervous System Regulation
Engage in grounding practices like walking barefoot on the earth, gardening, or immersing in nature.
Incorporate breathwork techniques (such as box breathing or diaphragmatic breathing) to signal safety to the body.
Reduce overstimulation by limiting screen time, news consumption, and excessive social interaction when needed.
Deep Rest and Restoration
Honour your body’s natural rhythms, allowing for extra sleep or rest when required.
Practice deep relaxation techniques to support cellular recalibration.
Create a bedtime ritual that includes herbal teas, essential oils (lavender, chamomile), and soothing music.
Hydration and Nourishment
Drink plenty of structured or mineral-rich water to support detoxification.
Consume easily digestible, high-vibrational foods such as fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Avoid overstimulating substances like excessive caffeine or processed foods, which can strain the system.
Energetic Hygiene
Regularly clear your energy field through salt baths, smudging (with sage, palo santo, or frankincense), or sound healing.
Visualize golden light cleansing your aura and resetting your vibrational state.
Protect your energy by setting clear boundaries with people and environments that feel draining.
Body-Mind Integration
Engage in gentle practices like slow stretching, yin yoga, or Tai Chi to help the body process and release tension.
Use gentle self-massage and fascia release techniques to ease muscular tension caused by emotional processing.
Work with affirmations and mantras that align with the transformation you are experiencing.
Creative and Expressive Release
Journal your experiences to bring unconscious shifts into conscious awareness.
Engage in creative outlets such as painting, movement, or singing to allow the emotions to flow through expression.
Share in trusted circles where you feel safe to voice your experiences without judgment.
Trust the Process
Recognize that discomfort is part of deep transformation and that resistance prolongs the pressure—surrender to the process.
Acknowledge the wisdom of your body and trust that it knows how to recalibrate when given the right conditions.
Remember that this work is not just personal—it is collective, and as we heal ourselves, we contribute to the healing of the greater whole.
Final Reflection
These times are calling for resilience, but not through force—rather through a gentle honouring of our process. The pressure we feel is not here to break us; it is here to refine us, to burn away what no longer serves, and to bring us into deeper alignment with our authentic essence. As we navigate these heightened energies, the most radical act of self-care is listening to what our body, mind, and spirit truly need—moment by moment, breath by breath.
Today I am talking about the intertwining of art, magic and medicine in ancient Egypt and how it underscored a holistic approach to healing that transcends the physical aspects of health. – Since the integration and completion of my Past Life extended narrative as a “healer-scribe” in Egypt, I felt it fitting share some insights with you.
HEKA, embodying both the god of magic and medicine, encapsulates the profound understanding that the ancient Egyptians had regarding the interconnectedness of the spiritual and physical realms. This dual role highlights the importance they placed not only on the physical treatment of ailments but also on the spiritual and psychological well-being of the individual.
The distinction between the swnw (general practitioners) and the sau (magical practitioners) reveals a sophisticated medical system that recognized the value of specialized knowledge in both conventional and magical healing practices. However, the use of magic was not confined to those specifically titled as magical practitioners; it permeated all aspects of Egyptian medicine. This universal application of magic alongside practical medical treatments illustrates the ancient Egyptians’ recognition of the complex nature of human health, where physical symptoms were often seen as manifestations of deeper, spiritual or supernatural causes.
The Per-Ankh, or “House of Life,” served as a crucial institution in the dissemination and advancement of medical knowledge. It was not merely a place for the physical treatment of the sick but also a center for learning, where medical texts were written, copied, and discussed. This integration of education and healing functions the holistic approach to medicine in ancient Egypt, where the accumulation of knowledge and the practice of healing were deeply intertwined.
The medical texts from ancient Egypt, with their combination of spells and practical measures, reflect an understanding of disease that incorporates both supernatural and natural explanations. Despite the enduring belief in the supernatural origins of disease, figures like Imhotep introduced a more rational approach to understanding illness, suggesting that diseases could arise naturally and were not necessarily divine punishments. This duality in the perception of disease—viewing it as both a natural and supernatural phenomenon—highlights the dynamic and evolving nature of ancient Egyptian medicine.
Seers, or wise women capable of seeing into the future, were not merely fortune-tellers as one might initially think. They played crucial roles in the community that went beyond divination. Their ability to help women conceive speaks to the broader societal emphasis on fertility and the continuation of the family lineage, which was of paramount importance in ancient Egypt. This role likely conferred a significant amount of respect and authority upon them, as they directly contributed to the growth and sustenance of families.
Furthermore, the seers’ capacity to interpret dreams adds another layer to their importance. In many ancient cultures, dreams were considered messages from the gods or omens of future events. The ability to decipher these messages placed seers in a unique position as mediators between the divine and the mundane, providing guidance and reassurance to those seeking to understand the will of the gods or the future.
The prescribing of herbal remedies for diseases showcases the seers’ role in the health and well-being of their communities. This aspect of their work indicates a deep knowledge of the natural world and its healing properties, blending spiritual practices with empirical knowledge of medicinal herbs. This holistic approach to medicine underscores the interconnectedness of spirituality, health, and nature in ancient Egyptian society.
The majority of Egyptians were illiterate, yet some, like the seers, could memorize spells read to them for later use, which illuminates an interesting aspect of knowledge transmission in ancient Egypt. This oral tradition allowed for the preservation and dissemination of important spiritual and medicinal practices, even among those who could not read or write. It highlights the value placed on oral knowledge and the role of memory in sustaining cultural and religious practices.
The role of seers in ancient Egypt exemplifies the deeply woven fabric of magic, religion, and practicality in daily life. Their work touched on crucial aspects of existence, from fertility and health to divine communication and the interpretation of omens. This multifaceted role not only shows the importance of seers in ancient Egyptian society but also offers a window into understanding how the ancient Egyptians navigated the complexities of their world.
Magic, in its broadest sense, has long held a captivating allure for humanity. From the ancient rituals of shamans and priests to the modern practices of artists and innovators, the concept of magic has permeated human culture and consciousness in myriad forms. It is indeed a reflection of our innate drive to create, to connect with the mysterious, and to seek meaning in the world around us.
At its core, magic embodies the power of transformation, the ability to shape reality through intention and will. Whether through art, ritual, or spiritual practice, humans have always sought to harness this power to manifest their desires, to commune with the divine, and to explore the depths of their own existence.
The arts can be seen as a form of magic. Through music, dance, visual expression, and storytelling, artists tap into the primal energies of creativity, weaving spells that evoke emotion, provoke thought, and transport us to realms beyond the mundane. In this sense, every work of art is a portal to the numinous realms of imagination and inspiration.
Likewise, spiritual traditions around the world are deeply intertwined with the essence of magic. From the mystical rites of ancient civilizations to the esoteric practices of contemporary mystics, magic has been a central element in the quest for enlightenment, transcendence, and union with the divine. Rituals, ceremonies, and sacred symbols serve as conduits for the flow of spiritual energy, guiding practitioners on their journey of self-discovery and inner transformation.
As we embrace the inherent magic within ourselves and the world around us, we reclaim our birthright as beings of boundless potential and infinite creativity. By honoring our connection to the sacred, we unlock the hidden depths of our own consciousness, tapping into reservoirs of wisdom, intuition, and divine inspiration.
It is time to unleash the full power of our human nature, to embrace the magic that dwells within us and to live lives imbued with wonder, beauty, and meaning. Let us create a culture of reverence for the mystical forces that shape our world, honoring the ancient wisdom of our ancestors while forging new pathways of spiritual evolution.
In this magical journey of life, may we each find our own unique expression of the divine, weaving spells of love, joy, and harmony wherever we go. For in the dance of creation, in the symphony of existence, we are all co-creators of a reality infused with the magic of the cosmos.
Understanding the Inner Landscape of Your Flawed Character
Hello, beautiful Souls,
Today, I am talking about a topic I know too well: Codependency.
I’ve experienced, many times over, the deep pain of loved ones, clients and colleagues, where substance or emotional addictions are ever-present and are controlling their lives. It is also why I created the set of 12 Flawed Character Archetypes in my typology—But today, I am sharing some of the hidden collective archetypal patterns in all 12 flawed characters; Codependency is indeed a form of control that has many faces.
In the vast story of the human experience, a realm is often overlooked yet profoundly influential—the domain of our flawed character. As you journey through life, navigating the terrain of your promises, passions, and purpose, you inevitably encounter the shadowy facets of your being shaped by past lives and deeply ingrained trauma. In this exploration, we uncover the patterns of our flawed character and the transformative power of self-acceptance and healing.
Embracing the Shadow
The first step in this odyssey is acknowledging and embracing your flaws and shadow aspects. Though often relocated to the recesses of your psyche, these elements hold valuable insights into your journey and growth. By confronting these shadowy dimensions without judgment, you create space for healing and transformation.
Patterns Across Lifetimes
Just as ripples spread across the surface of a pond, trauma reverberates through the depths of your Soul’s journey, spanning across lifetimes. Behaviours and patterns manifest in your present life may originate in long-past experiences. Through introspection and self-discovery, you can uncover the threads of your past lives, gaining profound insights into your current challenges and opportunities for growth.
Healing Trauma Across Time:
Trauma knows no bounds of time or space; it echoes through the corridors of your Soul, shaping your perceptions and interactions with the world. By delving into the depths of your past lives, you unearth the roots of your suffering and pave a path toward healing and wholeness. Through meditation, therapy, and self-reflection, you travel the landscape of your innermost self, reclaiming lost fragments of your Soul.
Support and Empathy:
On this journey of self-discovery and healing, it’s important to recognise you are not alone. Trauma is a universal experience, and the journey toward healing is often fraught with challenges. By extending compassion and empathy to yourself and others and seeking support from trusted friends and mentors, you forge connections that can sustain you on your path toward wholeness.
A New Narrative and Timeline
As you open up to the majesty of your past lives, you’re presented with an opportunity to rewrite your narrative and redefine your timeline. Acknowledging past pain points and turning points as catalysts for growth and transformation, you reclaim agency over your life and chart a course toward a brighter, more expansive future.
Fusion of Imperfect Aspects
In embracing your flawed character, you recognize the resilience and adaptability that have allowed you to navigate the complexities of existence. Rather than destroying or denying these aspects of yourself, you strive to integrate them into the fabric of your being, celebrating the richness and depth of your human experience.
Unravelling the Patterns of Codependency:
Alongside exploring your flawed character, it’s essential to delve into the dynamics of codependency. This complex phenomenon, characterised by excessive reliance on relationships and enabling behaviours, can hinder your journey toward self-discovery and healing.
Breaking Free: Embracing the Adult Archetype
Breaking free from codependency requires a shift towards embodying the Adult archetype—a state characterized by autonomy, responsibility, and healthy boundaries. This journey involves introspection, boundary-setting, and the courage to confront entrenched patterns.
Peeling Back the Layers:
Codependency transcends mere dependence; it weaves its tendrils through various aspects of life, from romantic entanglements to family bonds and professional interactions. The Crisis Triangle, also known as the Drama Triangle—an interplay of Victim, Rescuer, and Perpetrator roles—serves as a framework for understanding the dynamics of codependent relationships.
The Victim typically involves a person who feels helpless, oppressed, or powerless. They may rely on others to meet their needs and may exhibit passive or dependent behaviour, seeking validation and support from external sources.
The Rescuer is a person compelled to “save” or “fix” others, often assuming the rescuer role. They may offer excessive help or support to the Victim, sometimes to the point of enabling their dependency. Rescuers may obtain their self-worth from being needed and struggle to set healthy boundaries.
The Perpetrator is occupied by individuals who exhibit controlling, manipulative, or abusive behaviour. They may exploit the vulnerabilities of both victims and rescuers to maintain power and control in the relationship. Perpetrators may use tactics such as gaslighting, intimidation, or emotional blackmail to assert dominance.
All three roles can become entrenched in codependent relationships, maintaining cycles of dysfunction and preventing healthy communication and problem-solving.
Breaking free from the crisis triangle involves:
Recognizing these roles and patterns.
Establishing boundaries.
Fostering autonomy and self-responsibility.
Therapy and support groups can provide valuable resources for individuals seeking to break free from codependency and cultivate healthier relationships based on mutual respect and equality.
Overcoming the Victim, Rescuer, and Perpetrator Cycle:
Codependency involves embracing the role of the adult archetype. The Adult archetype represents a balanced and empowered state characterised by self-awareness, accountability, and assertiveness. Unlike the roles in the crisis triangle, which are based on dependency, control, and manipulation, the Adult archetype embodies autonomy, responsibility, and healthy boundaries.
In the context of codependency, embodying the Adult archetype means taking ownership of one’s thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves recognising and acknowledging your needs and desires, as well as respecting the autonomy and boundaries of others. Rather than seeking external validation or relying on others to fulfil your needs, the Adult archetype prioritises self-care, self-respect, and self-empowerment.
Embracing the Adult archetype also entails cultivating practical communication skills and conflict-resolution strategies. Instead of falling into the patterns of victimhood, rescuing, or perpetration, you in the Adult role ( Not Parent) engage in honest and respectful dialogue, assertively expressing your needs and boundaries while also listening empathetically to the needs of others.
Moreover, the Adult archetype fosters a sense of agency and resilience, enabling individuals to navigate challenges and setbacks with grace and resourcefulness. By embodying this archetype, you can break free from codependent patterns, cultivate healthier relationships, and lead a more fulfilling life based on authenticity, integrity, and mutual respect.
