Hello sweet souls,
Today is 1 Tijax—the first day of a new trecena, and Tijax is the obsidian blade. The warrior healer. The energy of discernment and truth-telling, of cutting through what is no longer true so that what is real can be seen clearly.
It is a potent day to receive a transmission about listening—because listening to the soul requires exactly that. The willingness to cut through the noise, the conditioning, the override, and hear what has always been there.
This is the third transmission of May—Your Soul Is the Authority: Building Unshakeable Self-Trust—and it is perhaps the most evidence-rich one yet. I named it What Happens When You Listen—And What Happens When You Don’t. Because self-trust doesn’t become unshakeable through understanding. It becomes unshakeable through evidence. And in this transmission, I offer you some of mine.
I tell you about Toronto—the white dress, the concert hall, the two hours of eyes closed and tears streaming, the download that changed everything.
I tell you about the Lego wall I built inside my body over decades of keeping the peace.
I tell you about relationships and aliveness as the measure, about the pivot from strategy to soul, and about the hardest part of all of it—the not-knowing—and why learning to live inside it is the real initiation.
And at the end, I tell you what following the soul has actually given me. Not philosophically. Concretely. To listen, join The Altar.
Before you jump in, here are a few upcoming gatherings:
On Wednesday, May 20 (today!)—Cacao Ritual with Restorative Yoga, online via The Altar. For those seeking stillness, restoration, and community from wherever you are. Join The Altar membership to attend.
On Sunday, May 31—“Your Soul is the Bridge,” a talk and brief meditation at YogaSource in Santa Fe. For those curious about soul philosophy and ancestral wisdom who want a first taste of this work, as well as a taste of Cacao. $35 drop-in, open to all.
On Sunday, June 7—Sacred Cacao Circle in my private home studio. You’ll participate in an invocation and communion with Ceremonial Cacao, a beverage prepared just for you with intention, love, and the energy to activate your alignment to your Soul. It is 6 Ajmak and a day for self-forgiveness.
In our next transmission, we will talk about how to navigate the not-knowing—and I will offer you some tools to firm up your practice around self-trust and inner authority.
Until then, I am sending you love.
Maggie
