For the majority of 2020, humanity has been steeped in a collective dark night of the soul phase of accelerated healing. This crucial phase is used to shift from the mind-based identity of a dissolving 3D paradigm and into a heart-based identity of an awakening 5D consciousness. Although heartbreaking to witness and experience, the chaos we see depicted in life is due to a large percentage of humanity shifting from mind-based perceptions to heart-centered awareness, perhaps for the first time in many people’s journey. Currently, humanity is at a crucial midpoint in this shift, where the midpoint between the mind and heart is the throat.

Because the throat chakra centers around communication, it is no surprise to live in a world where so many voices choose to be heard. As the throat chakra opens in consciousness, it initially empties all the suppressed emotional density stored from past wounds, along with the words and feelings never shared with those who hurt us the most.

While the existence of mind-based perception can make it seem as if the voice is being used to fight against injustice and unfairness, the truth of heart-centered awareness may seem backwards to the cause and effect interpretations of mind. While the mind’s job is to scan environments to match a reason or cause for our inner experiences, it is the outer world that has been manifested into such a hostile social and political climate to help the collective throat chakra open and empty out its history of repressed pain. Every complaint of injustice and corruption is valid and real. And yet, each situation only manifests for the deeper healing it inspires.

The question is, how much of our current collective upheaval will we personally allow to deepen our healing and expand our consciousness?

As the collective throat chakra opens and stabilizes, our depth of expression can be used in its most conscious and constructive manner as the voice of the heart. Because humanity is en route to this stage of stabilization, we are currently living in a time when life is manifesting whichever timelines of scenarios that give individuals within the collective justifiable reasons to share their voices and release their pain, even though the very things many people are so vocal about are not the underlying root of such emotions.

While humanity shifts out of a mind-based identity and into alignment with heart-centered consciousness, it becomes easier to see external manifestations are created to heal the wounds and feelings already stored within us. As each person undergoes phases of healing that external realities instigate, the more heart-centered energy can be carried in our cells to inspire external reality to transform more into accordance with the light we are cultivating within.

While external progress occurs through many levels of empowered human contribution, and not solely from an energetic standpoint, it is the energetic component of healing ourselves that remains a vital catalyst and central theme of necessity in our awakening world right now.

During this particular shift of exiting the mind and entering the heart, it can feel like existing in limbo land or purgatory for many. While we may no longer be so tightly locked into the interpretations and beliefs of a mind-based identity, we equally may not have fully entered the new home of the heart. This highlights a rather crucial level of dark night of the soul, where we cross the bridge of identity from mind to heart by making peace with uncertainty.

Because uncertainty is one of the mind’s biggest fears and the heart’s most faithful allies in letting go, it is common for the mid-point of the throat chakra to be used to express discord and dissonance in any direction.

Again, while wholeheartedly believing its feedback solely pertains to the movement of outside activity when in fact, it is how the nervous system adjusts to uncertainty becoming a friend instead of remaining a foe. For many right now, there is still a tendency to fight uncertainty, which is why during a close presidential race, the slow counting of votes, the questioning of the voting process, and even the pondering of corruption on either side highlights the very uncertainty manifested to further assist in humanity’s shift.

Whether we are seeing radical shifts in the consciousness in ourselves or others, or more likely amplified tension, chaos, and violence, we are holding space for the biggest shift the identity of humanity has ever experienced. This is a shift that is guaranteed to reach completion, whether experienced with the utmost peace or resisting and fighting every step of the way. When we are more aware of the larger cosmic themes in play, we are able to have a more heart-centered experience of humanity’s evolution, no matter how many loved ones, close friends, or neighbors must fight their fight before they are able to fully wake up. Indeed, this is an intense time on planet Earth, but we have been primed over many lifetimes to call in a new heart-centered consciousness by the space we hold and the inner work being completed.

As the throat chakra continues to open and stabilize, it is a time to offer forgiveness, whether we have gotten lost in blame or experiencing the blame of others.

Forgiveness doesn’t make anything ‘okay’. Instead, it’s our most heart-centered way of acknowledging unconscious behavior as a state of survival that overtakes the awareness of those who are unaware of the deeper healing journey causing outcomes and events to manifest with precision. Because humanity has ventured out of the identity of mind, but hasn’t quite landed in the openness of heart, it will also be a time where mental imbalances amplify and get triggered on a more regular basis.

With virus numbers spiking in many states and countries, and mental illness showcasing the aggressive side of unprocessed pain, it is truly a time in history to hunker down, nestle in, and anchor the light that helps humanity heal by how deeply we make peace with the nature of uncertainty.

To help you clear any lingering fears of uncertainty and embrace it as an agent of greater surrender, please repeat the following mantra:

“I don’t have to know where life is headed to know I AM supported.”

This can be adjusted to satisfy whichever degree of external discord has consumed your attention. Maybe it’s, “I don’t have to know where the election is headed to know I AM supported.” Perhaps it’s, “I don’t have to know where my health is headed to know I AM supported.” Maybe for you, it’s more, “I don’t have to know where 2020 is headed to know I AM supported.” Or even the deepest one of all, “I don’t have to know anything more — to know I AM supported.”

Such a mantra helps you exit the looping mechanism of needing constant mental reassurance, so you may rest in the truth of ‘okayness’, which is always present, no matter how any situation or scenario plays out. From this greater surrendered acceptance in the greater cosmic plan waking up in all, you may discover another helpful mantra: “There is peace in uncertainty when I let it guide me.”

As we allow uncertainty to be a way of opening into greater faith by escorting us across the threshold of fear, we come to realize, the majority of fears were only as relevant as our identity was attached to mind-based perceptions of interpretation. As we allow the throat to empty its history of pain, intending to release it mindfully instead of at anyone’s expense, we venture deeper into a more heart-based identity, where all layers of fear are transformed into renewed expressions of inspiration, courage, passion, and excitement. This is the work at hand for the deeper healing underway, offering you an alternative focus to the chaos and confusion in view.

Once humanity is more rooted in heart-centered consciousness on a collective level, may we begin to see the external progress that matches our path of inner change.

This will happen faster than we may imagine, even when in this current phrase of healing it’s so easy to seem light years away.

May we use the mantras offered to make peace with uncertainty and adopt a more patient, tolerant and forgiving spirit as humanity continues its evolutionary inward spiral.

Often in our darkest hours, the brightest light begins to dawn. As we each hold space for the light of unity consciousness to illuminate this world into greater collective balance, we equally offer gratitude for the courage of each soul to undertake this process of transformation for the contributions it makes for Earth’s expansion.

May we be grateful for such a surreal year in history, where the evolution of consciousness cannot permit denial to imprison us in doubt for even a moment longer. While some may see this period in time as a punishment, it is actually an incredible gift of transformation allowing us to witness the gravity of Ascension up close and personal, whether in its most gritty or graceful expression.

May we hold space as the mind-based shield of humanity’s attachment to certainty dissolves enroute to a more heart-centered way for all. Knowing, the most conscious way to end global conflict is to remove the shields always in search of another fight. Through the beauty and power of embodied love, may we remember that we don’t have to know where life is headed to know we are supported, simply because — there is peace in uncertainty when letting it guide us.

Love always wins. Our time is now.
