Here’s what we have for you today:

• A Tarot Spread for the Collective (Video session 📺)

Twin Flame Collective Reading (Video 📹)

We’re looking at the energy for the twin flame collective for this week. Carla still has a bit of a cold, so forgive any sniffles, but she really appreciated the well wishes from last week.

You can watch the full reading here.

There’s interesting energy this week. Signs of emotional healing and high vibrational awakenings.

An understanding of deeper truths alongside joy and excitement, but there’s also a communication problem in the 3D. Unspoken communication is getting an upgrade, however.

Community Advice: What I’ve Learned🤔

1. However you met your twin, whatever is going on in your lives, the first part of the journey is about learning to trust yourself, your intuition, your higher self, your inner guidance and living your truth for you, authentically, no matter what your twin is doing or saying, it’s about you learning to trust yourself and what you know you know.

2. This is a spiritual journey-the journey to yourself, the journey to the depths of yourself, the relationship you had/have with your person is part of it because they ride along with you energetically, you’re both healing and evolving and finding your way, the relationship isn’t the goal-your own peace, happiness, fulfillment is the goal for you.

3. You will go through a series of purges, triggers, things that happen, difficulties, and if you’re awake, sensitive to energies, the astrological events, you’ll see that your connection to the collective consciousness will pull you into these shifts in energy, cycles where you are facing, working through, healing, and releasing fears, wounds, trauma, self-sabotaging behaviors.

4. Typically the DFs are codependent and trying to heal that part of themselves, they’ve most likely had toxic relationships with others-parents and other people, and we have to heal that to deal with our fears of abandonment and rejection.

5. The DMs are typically the runners, they were intimidated, confused, overwhelmed, and whatever transpired between you, they try to lie to themselves and convince themselves that they don’t want it, can’t handle it, and that you deserve better.

Community Story: Downloads and Travel 📕

We met by luck. Out of the blue, I had the urge to go backpacking one summer. Just a drive that popped into my head and off I went. This really is not like me (normally a homebody) but I found myself in a foreign country almost overnight.

By chance I bumped into travelers who were on a similar journey … and there he was.

I caught glimpses of him as part of a much larger group, but I was too shy to speak to him. Fast forward to the first night, we were all sitting around the hostel and I still hadn’t said two words to him. I hadn’t even paid that much attention to him, to be honest! But there was something about his presence.

It wasn’t until the third day that we had some time alone together and the universe gave us a chance to spend time together.

I swore I had the biggest crush on him right away and he just seemed to know it. Despite being the complete opposite of me. aka last time I went swimming I almost drowned, and he is a surfer and a lifeguard. He was also used to this traveling around the world while I felt leaving my hometown was a big adventure.

We had a fantastic time together. I was tripping over my every word, but he seemed to understand me. Every time I thought I made a stupid joke and started to kick myself – he laughed! We just clicked. Then the biggest bomb had been dropped-- he had a girlfriend!

He didn’t tell me directly. Another member of the group just assumed we were dating because we were getting on so well and I just overheard the conversation. That felt like the worst moment of my life.

I tried to put a brave face on but I literally couldn’t function. Here was this perfect person right in front of me and… they were with someone else.

We couldn’t spend any more time together alone. I probably couldn’t have survived it anyway. I felt this… yearning feeling. I knew we were somehow still connected (but I had never heard of a ‘twin flame’).

I try not to hold regrets – but I regret what happened next. Unable to function or cope, I went home. I ended my trip early and could not even explain why to my own friends. I was just… back. Suffering a breakup for a relationship that never existed.

I will skip forward a few months here. Trying to convince myself that I was just hungry for a relationship, I threw myself into online dating trying to find someone. Anyone. Trying to fill that gap in my soul.

I was so desperate that I would latch on to anyone. I would try to be passionate and intense and create some kind of spark but I just couldn’t forget this boy I met.

But it was like my 3D self had some distorted sense of who my twin flame was-- I was looking for him in other people. In the end, although I had numerous crushes, I inevitably tried my hand at love 3 times and every time it blew up in my face.

I felt like my life was shattered. I had withdrawn from God and had turned to drugs and alcohol as a way to cope with this loss. This loss I could not even explain to myself, let alone anyone else.

I had to break down all the past hurts, which I did while I was high that had started to afflict my 3D body. Maybe this was also some physical manifestation of the beginning of my awakening and separation.

It was while Mercury was in Retrograde that I really got my life together.

One day I just woke up and faced myself. My real self. Being painfully honest and picking apart all the traumas and wounds I had let stack up. All the hurt and confusion went away but what came back was that feeling I had while I was backpacking.

That image of his face.

I learned about twin flames by complete chance. My aunt had told me about her own experience (which could never lead to union in her lifetime but she accepted it) and must have seen something in my own energy. She took me aside and asked me what I’d been through.

At first, I couldn’t really explain, but she helped me put the words to it. She explained exactly how I’d been feeling like she had been there herself.

I allowed myself to do something I had banned myself from even considering. I went on my phone and found the old group chat we had used.

I am usually very bad with names and faces but unsurprisingly this time was different. I picked him out right away and that time together came hurtling back. I looked him up on Instagram and there he was. Surfing, of course.

At first, I could not bring myself to DM him. I was nervous. My concept of love was still misconstrued and somewhat inverted, there were some things about our connection that I still hadn’t come to terms with.

What if I was wrong about us being twin flames? What if there was no such thing? What if he thought I was crazy? What if he was still with her?

It took almost three months before we reconnected.

His account was busy and he missed me following him at first. It took almost two weeks before I got a download through our telepathy that he’d spotted me. It was as if the universe was rewarding me for the work I had been doing.

I checked my phone - there it was. He had followed me back and suddenly a whole universe of opportunity sprang up in front of me.

I was so overjoyed that I could barely even hold my phone. It was like I was being pulled to him and this was all the confirmation I had been asking for.

He was no longer with the same girlfriend. They had broken up not long after we met and had been dating, but nothing was sticking. He said he was looking for something real.

I’ve gotten subtle downloads that he’s slowly starting to understand our connection. We talk all the time, and I keep getting strange signs and sequences before he replies, so I know it is about to happen.

He asked if I was going to travel again this summer and if maybe we can meet up. I don’t know if this will actually happen and nothing we said has been romantic at all… but I’m excited.
