August 2023: Flow
August’s channeled monthly message & theme from the Akashic Records: Bask in the flow.
“The theme of the month of August is flow. Gentle flow.
You are being tended to in August.
The energy of August continues this forward momentum we’ve been in the last couple of months. But this forward momentum isn’t the kind of big push or move or quake rumbling through our systems.
Coming out of July’s energy (that tenderness, softness, and internal shifting), August’s energy does pick up more. August is like emerging from our cocoon into this transformative and renewing energy flowing all around us.
Can you flow with the supportive energy this month? Can you flow more than you fight or resist?
The energy of August is like gentle river. A river we stumble across on a peaceful walk through a forest. A river with an ever-so-slight current coursing through it, with wild waters to cleanse and cool us. A river that, as you wait at the edge of, resting, you start to see a raft drifting toward you, slowly and gently, coming closer and closer. And you understand as the raft gets closer to you, that it is meant for you. To support you on this river.
Maybe you take off your shoes or sandals and hike up your pant legs as you start to wade into the gentle river waters of flowing, expansive energy, to board your raft. And as you climb onto your raft and start to slowly float down the river, you are supported. Totally and completely as you move toward what is most meant for you.
You’re supported on this flowing river; you don’t have tread water or use your strength to swim.
The longer you float down the river, supported, you find more ease, and maybe even a little more peace along the way.
Being supported, receiving support, as you flow with the energy of the month doesn’t mean you’re not “doing” or not taking action or working toward what you desire - it simply means you’re supported in continuing to move forward. In moving forward toward greater expansion. In moving forward toward greater awareness and clarity - and what’s truly meant for you.
The invitation for August is to continue putting one foot in front of the other, day after day. And to see where it leads you. To see where the flowing river ultimately takes you.
The raft you’re floating on, after all, is guided by your heart’s desires. And even though you don’t know with one hundred percent certainty where the river’s current will take you, you can trust your heart enough to be supported by the raft.
Can you trust your heart enough to keep putting one foot in front of the other this month? Can you trust your heart enough to keep making decisions that move you forward?
Because not just during this month, but this year in particular - the more you float down the river on new paths and in new ways, the more you aren’t going to be able to return to the starting point. To that point in the forest, where you first stumbled upon this river. At some point, you won’t be able to get back to that place…and yet, that is part of the gift of forward momentum.
And there are other emotions and feelings that come up as you continue on this path of forward momentum certainly. There is often grief that accompanies endings and that which you ultimately choose to leave behind, to release, and to surrender to in order to move forward.
So much of the energetic current of this year is keep moving forward. And you’re doing it! Because the thing is…you’re getting off these paths, out of energetic currents where you weren’t clear on what you really wanted or weren’t able to fully trust what became clear to you in time.
This is your permission to give yourself the grace and compassion you need to knowingly and intentionally step out onto that raft in the river this month.
To allow yourself to look forward more than you look back.
You are moving toward paths of new experiences, chapters, and ways of being…and August is a beautiful month of flowing with that energy.
Of flowing with the current and allowing it to support you as much as possible - because it is here for you.”
