June: Invisible Strength

During June, I expected a breakthrough by the principle in Phase 6: Strength. While circumstances vary, there is one thing you can count on. Your body and mind are working together in the sequence that keeps you alive.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

June 1st was uneventful. June 2nd in the early evening, I came home to a letter from the landlord that announced new property management and a new, much higher rent, effective August 1. I had expected a raise in rent, but this was clearly beyond my budget.

Looking back on it during a sleepless night, I realized how much I assumed. I had grown accustomed to being cared for, able to do my life's work. As the new reality settled in, I naturally considered my options, the most likely being a reduction in my lifestyle. My mind automatically considered all my possessions and what it would take to eliminate nearly all of them.

Panic crept at the edges and I turned my heart to prayer. Immediately, I felt that I do know what to do. First, calm my body's turmoil with deep breathing. Second, check my life cycle position.

Reach into your spirit

I remembered that spirit lives in breath, and that it is my spirit that gives me real spiritual understanding. So, I concentrated on breathing deeply and well until my whole being was calm again. It's amazing how everything becomes manageable when fear leaves.

And then an interesting shift happened in my mind - a Phase 6 shift. I realized that God has prepared a place for me - not for my comfort, but a place where I can continue the work I was given to do. Being now acutely aware of the beauty and rest I have enjoyed, and that it may end, I have no anxiety about where I will end up. The place can change while I stay constant.

How you can diminish confusion

There is value - real usefulness - in the Phases. I realize that it is not something to teach; I can only share what it is. That is the whole gift. It is a fact in our process of living that has a firm, reliable order and pace.

I received a comment from a reader that was so helpful. She is surprised at the way she can engage with me, not her normal way of thinking. She said that I provoke deeper thoughts in her mind that she can express. The shift in her perspective opened her eyes beyond an upcoming surgery and having to get help during the recovery. She saw how she is being loved and cared for in a way that astonishes her.

There may be other ways to see beyond circumstances, but the Phases are inherent in us. The twelve phases map out Nature's consistent resilience in you. That natural consistency has served you your whole life - and will continue until your last breath.

Relationships are where the action is. Here are some examples:

June 6 was the 6th day of the 6th month, so I feel that it was a day to mark in 2025, the 6th covid year. I had a breakthrough that day that was meaningful to me. I met with a new client and, relying on my intuition, I worked to practice the changes I have been experiencing this year. Later that evening, I realized there was connection between that meeting and a breakthrough.

Yesterday, in conversation with a trusted person, my heart became full and I excitedly burst with my opinion about her situation. Afterwards, I felt that I had not respected her thought process and acting in her own best interests. I called her back to apologize and found that it was different, on her end. She said that my volley of questions and judgments was just what she needed, to be put on the spot. She was able to reason through and reach her plan that was in place, just not spoken. In the end, she felt affirmed and capable.

Preoccupied with moving preparations, today I suddenly 'knew' that I would not be moving where I had a plan. No reason. No other option...yet. I knew it and my whole body became happy. This matches my heart's decision to trust that life will provide a place where I can continue my life assignment.

Doesn't your heart supply the energy you need for whatever life demands of you? If you don't have the heart to do something, you drag your mind and body through it. But if your heart likes something, you spring up and go to work expectantly, and are naturally share the experience.

Proofs are yours alone

External proofs are overrated, it seems to me. Situations are temporary. Flowing by, using time up. But internally there's construction going on, building new castles of experience and life knowledge that make you stronger.

For you, the breakthrough in June is the pressure breaking the resistance until you enter a new level of personal strength. Your progress is only for your life purpose. You can move from that internal certainty into uncertain, new, and even frightening situations.

Your conscious plan rarely works because situations change the outcome.The signal from your organism is not attached to situations, but uses them for your good. You unconsciously retain benefits from every troubling experience, and they accumulate.

The covid change

Will our breakthrough in the 6th covid year be a deepening of the values we acquired in suffering the pandemic? The rising attention toward meditation and calming your mind can help you to accept the Phases. The work is done in you and for you, naturally.

So, how did June conclude for you?
