A Soul Message with the Ancestors

I'm on the most profound roadtrip of my life—toward a new home but also toward a new story unfolding for me. It's tough, tender, and deep.
As I move across the southeast during a hurricane, I heard a call to channel a message with the ancestors. I'm writing with that message.
I hope it serves you as it has served me, as we move through piles of change, toward our soul's destiny.
“There's no going back now. You've seen too much.
You felt the first touch of newness, of the new you, of the potential of the new beginning. You felt it. You've touched it, even if it's just in a very tiny way. You've seen it, and so you can't go back now.
There is a call in this moment to find a new kind of equilibrium.
When you begin a journey, you leave so much behind to make space for so much newness. It's as if you swing wide, very wide to begin, and then naturally, it will flow back in, to create an equilibrium, to harmonize, to come back into balance.
So this wide swing into newness is lovely. It's a moment. It's not forever. You swing wide, you pull it back in and you find a new balance between all the parts of you, between the who you are and the who you will be.
We know that there is a lot of discomfort when there is a wide swing. There is a lot of excitement but there is a lot of discomfort. And we wish to tell you not to worry, not to think about the discomfort, to allow it and to focus on the newness, until you hear the call to pull back in.
You swing wide and then pull back in and find that equilibrium within you, to find the harmony, to find the naturalness between the new and the you.
We have a lot of compassion for this phase of life that you are in. We really do.
Things are changing. More things will change. You will retain parts of you that are you, that are essential to your pain. And also, you are growing new cells within you that are so ready for this wide swing, so ready for this leap.
Perhaps it's a quantum leap for some of you, so ready for this stretch of a brand new life. Because whether you are staying in the same place or traveling across the country, you are feeling into a brand new life.
We promise you, there is a brand newness that is coming into you, settling into you, being part of you. And when you see that, when you see what's there, when you glimpse it, when you touch it, when you feel it, you won't be able to go backward. You can't unsee it. You can't unfeel it. It is you now.
So allow the wide swing. Enjoy it. Allow the discomfort. Bring presence to it. Bring it close to you, hold it close to your heart. And in time, do not fear. A harmony will settle in. A balance will appear. It will manifest in between all your cells. You will feel more steady. You will feel more settled. You will feel more like you, only better, even more expansive, even more ready to allow your destiny to unfold.”
