Communication, Connection and
Self-Awareness

September 1, 2022

Hello!

How are you doing? I hope the answer is well!! 🤗

I don’t want to repeat topics, but I have to trust where I am taken and honestly there are so many layers to each. The topic this month does reference soul lessons, but hang with me here—this is a different approach than I have shared before. I am thinking of communication and connection and self-awareness.

Those are big words. They weave into every part of life. Let’s focus in to make this useable. Read those three words again. What aspects of those three challenge you? Do you find yourself bumping up against the same issue repeatedly?

If so, you know you are working on a piece of a soul lesson for yourself. We have talked about soul lessons. You have more than one. They wind and twist their way through your life in various ways, show up in multiple areas of your life, and often continue from lifetime to lifetime. They are not one-and-done tasks you can checkmark. However, sometimes the challenge is not always yours. Not to say you don’t have an opportunity to learn.

I am willing to share a thread of a personal lesson to help make this clear. A focus of mine for the year is being aware of my communication and connections/relationships. In conversation a few days ago, someone said to me, “You seem to have some bristly people around you.” I paused. I never thought of it that way. I have several people in my life who let their idea of who they think I am impact our communication and connection. It is challenging for me. I am approaching this with self-awareness because I see it as mine to work with, my soul lesson, and if I “fix or change” something about myself, it will resolve.

The statement about bristly personalities made me realize that I am being very aware, but I am not seeing the opportunity in its totality. This has to do with the other people and how they interact in their life. Yes, I have a role in this. Yes, I have opportunity for growth. No, it is not my issue; it is theirs. Mine is how I react or manage the communication and connection for myself. Other people are working out their lessons. I can’t help them, nor is it my place to do so.

The point being, you are in relationships with others. You are sharing the opportunities for lessons that help you evolve. Sometimes the evolution is knowing the challenge is theirs. You still need to be accountable and responsible for your actions and energy. The trick is figuring that out and being comfortable with it.

Relationship, communication and connection involve more than just you. Your self-awareness helps you discern the opportunity for evolution for a soul lesson, and that doesn’t mean you are doing something “wrong” and need to change. Reflect on your strengths and talents and sharpen them. Use them in a powerful loving way for yourself and others.

If this message resonates with you please consider it a personal love message from Spirit. Let’s expand our perspectives and consider the options; we just may move the lesson ahead!

With Love,
Andrea

If you are interested in reflecting on this a bit more, may I suggest journaling with your guides or higher self. It may help you discern where your repeated patterns are lessons and what your role is in them. Here are a few prompts:

 Are there people or situations in your life that all carry a similar interaction or energy? This includes work and personal.

 What do each have in common?

 How does each make you feel or think?

 Are there any that may be different than the others and if so, in what way?

 How do you communicate within these relationships or situations? Be honest with yourself.

 How is your connection with each of these people impacted by the communication?

 Is the way in which you are showing up and interacting accurate? Be honest with yourself. Share you’re not-so-best moments and your best moments.

 How do you communicate, connect, and become more self-aware in your relationships?

Look for the pattern and what the lesson may be. Repeat at another time. Do a variation of this several times to increase your self-awareness on the topic. Make changes or reinforce helpful habits as needed.

Podcast News and a Special Sneak Peek!

“This is a time of life-giving force collecting itself and springing into action to ready for next growing season. As you watch the leaves and plants wither know they are regenerating and gathering energy to seed in the winter. You too are coming into this time of regeneration. Release that which no longer serves

you. Take the winter months to seed something new that will burst through in the spring. Make yourself known to you and those closest to you in the lifetime. We are quite busy this time of year wrapping up the blooms of last season’s cycles and beginning the birthing of the new in winter.

What can you release? What can you let wither on the vine? You each have more than one item you hold onto that is not helpful to you on this earth. Why do you hold on to it? Regenerate and recycle and rebirth are the hallmarks of the natural evolution. Happy Autumn. Gather your needs and bring them with you let the rest go.”

I felt like I hadn’t done a channel in a while, so I opened and let it roll. When I read this I was intrigued Nature came through. We are entering the autumn equinox. I did pull a fairy card for you and the channel can be applied to the card and the lesson I wrote about. Very fancy Nature. Very fancy.
