April has a fresh feeling to it in my part of the world. The rain is cascading down around my little office as I write to you about my impressions for how to make faster progress this month.

The truth is the energy has been racing forward for the last couple weeks and a stream of that is going to continue through April to help push through your projects. I will write more about the unique aspects of April you can benefit on below.

Here’s a video you can watch, or read the insights below:

But I do think it is important to note that you might be growing tired, overwhelmed or exhausted around now. We’ve been pushed by the universe for a few months now, and immersed in this firey season. However, we are human beings and we need balance. In order for you to make the most of this opportune time you have to care for your body and most importantly your energy levels. I’ll include some tips on this below, just for you email subscribers!

Feel free to forward this email to a friend you think will like it 🙂

Below is the reading for April to help you make faster progress.

I’m excited to debut a ton of new extra special insights just for you email subscribers! The words below have never been published before and were inspired by the work with my clients and exactly where we are right now.

{This card is from the Rider Waite Tarot}

This spiritual message of this month is based on the card Ace of Wands. Take a moment to be open to any positive shifts that may occur as you read this sacred writing and breath.

A new emerging creative power is coming forward, through our feelings, our passion, our actions and deeds. This may be something entirely new coming to take the place of things missing or lost in the past, or this energy coming forward can be a deeper connection to

something of core importance to you. What do you value? Your health, happiness, freedom? These things can be a good rope to your core strength inside so be sure to hold onto what matters the most, even as new things arrive.

Trust yourself and your ideas! Drops of divine aha, inspiration and insight may find their way to you through the month. They may reawaken that core strength that is uniquely yours–the true power inside. You must trust yourself, and continue to breathe deeply and make space to receive these gems of insight. This may be difficult, so be prepared to insist if needed that you make the time and space to take care of yourself. You need space to know the difference between the anxiety of your ego mind, and the true direction of your highest and wisest self.

Listen and prepare because soon you will have the strength, power and clarity to roar like a lion, and spread your gifts, message and perspective with the world. You are here to make a difference. Things are changing. But give yourself the right to enjoy the process. Take breaks and savor the good things. Look inside for all that you need, not to the values or judgements of others around you. Stay on course with yourself.

This card bodes well for creators and innovators.

What you need to know to make faster progress now! Two themes have been coming up in recent times

• 1: Feeling overwhelmed? It is really important to save your energy from being drained by cords to people outside of you. This will give you more power to help you have better relationships and make faster progress. I know you probably really love and care about a great many people, but sometimes we get a little stuck because the people we care about are stuck. How can you help other people and yourself? Cut cords. (More on that in the video here)
• 2: This is also a time of Awakenings. Awakenings are those moments when you see things in a new way- it could be the answer to a problem, a new understanding of the world, yourself, or your place in the world and what you need to do here. On April 1st My friend Andrea Hylen and I are putting on an event locally in Lutherville, Maryland to facilitate more awakenings and give space to honor everything you are awakening to these day. (More on that event below the picture)

A three hour sacred circle in Lutherville, Maryland

With Sofia Wren and Andrea Hylen
“I find that all over the world, not only is there an acceleration of just about everything, but that many of the old patterns are deconstructing. New ones are arising. It’s tremendously exciting, challenging, and also sometimes, well, scary.
There is something else that is trying to come through – that lure of becoming – and it does come from the realm of spirit, it does come from the quantum universe, it does come from the great spark that is the threshold of time and history and trying to emerge and electrify us”.

~Jean Houston

Phew! As always lots of intense stuff going on. There is something particularly epic about this month, “make it or break it” comes to mind. Woe betide anyone who lets March pass without facing a few must-need-to-overcome challenges.

It’s important to stay in your integrity and take practical, down to earth steps. When you finally unshackle yourself you will feel freer and lighter. Focus on what you can achieve now with whatever resources you have.

Remember it is not what you have been given that counts, it is what you choose to do with it.

Let’s review the past together to reconnect to our strength and build on what we know.

{This card pictured on this page is from the Wizard’s Tarot- Corinne Kenner}

As you may have heard, I am sharing spiritual messages at a slower pace than I used to. I have decided that this message based on the card 9 of Wands will be the sole message of the month for March. However stay tuned as I may be sharing other resources, or tools that are in line with this message

Below is the reading for March to help you make faster progress.

I’m excited to debute a ton of new extra special insights delivered first to email subscribers! So make sure to sign up for that if you like this blog.  Next month you will get even more words about the monthly message that have never been published before and were inspired by the work with my clients. I don’t always share them on the blog here, but I will give you some peeks this time.

This spiritual message is based on the card 9 of Wands

You have come very far– to the last leg of a journey. Although it may not seem that you are close to what you want to achieve, you have indeed come very far. Lately an energy is propelling you forward to achieve a sort of mission, project or goal, however, the final leg of this journey must be undertaken with the right energy. The best way to make solid progress at this time involves a looking back and reconnection.

What do you need to be reconnected to in order to build your strength and make progress? Take a look at your past– the past week, month, year, 10 years, your whole life, multiple lifetimes (if you believe in past lives). What is the common thread? What is this all leading up to? What have you learned about yourself, your capabilities, your values and what is really important to you?

These are big questions and you will have some time to consider them. Try making lists of your accomplishments, your biggest struggles along various timelines. Make a picture to describe the hurdles and turns of your journey. If this were a long story, how would you want it to end considering how much you have been through? What should come next considering everything you’ve grappled with before? You can’t know unless you take the time to review. Even if you feel like racing ahead, this sort of reviewing (done multiple times, even) will really pay off right now.

Reviewing and reflecting on the past will give you a deeper appreciation for your own strength. It will also remind you of why you value what you value. Perhaps over this time you have changed your values, perhaps you have learned what what you used to think was important to pursue, was in fact trivial. Maybe reviewing the past and what you have been through will help you reconnect to something important — it may remind you of what the true beacons of hope and aspiration are in your life now.

Here is a peak of the Extra insights only for email subscribers:

Although this year is an opportunity to do something new, with 2+0+1+7 creating a ‘1’ year, you may be surprised to feel that at the same time there is a sense of commonality and completion coming into your life, based on what you’ve already been moving towards your entire life. Think of it like the time before a final match to be a sport champion. It is time to review the past games, where you failed, where you were triumphant, and take everything you have learned to face the present moment with full awareness of who you are and what you stand for. Then you will be at your very best to pursue that ultimate victory.

Standing for something is very important, because not only can you tap into your own strength honed over many years, but you can pull from something bigger than you. Ideals such as beauty, love, honor, justice, truth, treating yourself with kindness as one of the universe’s divine children–what ever is important to you as a result of your personal journey–that will be a guiding light for you to hold onto and defend with all your might in this next chapter.

Things may have a feeling of “finality” to them at this time. There will probably not be a true permanent end, as life does go on, but you may be able to harness this “epic ending” quality in life right now to push for finally toppling a challenge you have longed faced, or achieve a goal you have worked towards for some time now. Make sure to come from a place of virtue, connected to your values that you have long fought to uphold or learned to appreciate through a long struggle. Come from this well established core in you, and each step forward will build towards a strong win.

Take heart that you are ninety percent there. Give yourself peace of mind and support in the form of ritual, ceremony, or a spiritual habits or practice to ground your endeavors.

Blessings

Sofia Wren

PS Are you a writer or creator? Do you want to make faster progress on your projects this month? Examples are books, ebooks, email newsletters, writing, recordings, music, programs, videos, blogs, opt-ins… Apply to talk about what you need. I can help you always know what to do next because you can hear yourself clearly.

Do you feel like you are walking around without the answers you need? Maybe it feels like you have a blindfold on, looking for answers that are no where to be found…

Take a peak at this video explaining what’s going on these days thanks to the handy tool the Tarot. I use this tool to help writers, creators, and entrepreneurs make faster progress. Here’s the update on what’s been going on. It’s effect will probably last a few more weeks. xo

I am currently without a voice–getting over a cold. For the moment I am forgoing my usual video message.

But below is a special treat!

For the last year, every Full Moon I have recorded a special forecast for the month ahead with a special healing for my clients behind the scenes. I’ve come to enjoy these sessions and this month I felt called to share it with you as a special gift. This month the theme is Releasing, and there is a lot of insight into the current situation and what to expect in the weeks ahead.

Here’s your free forecast and healing to help you make faster progress this month!

https://www.dropbox.com/s/56az2y32xfrxu5w/RELEASIN…

From now on I will only be posting a few spiritual messages each month.

Below is the reading for the next two weeks to help you make faster progress, with some EXTRA insight just for you who get my emails.

This spiritual message is based on the Fool or Dreamer

There are a number of different ways to interpret this card. Overall you may not know a lot of things about what you are doing in the present moment and the future–that’s because you are starting a new cycle. And not just you but the whole world, these are big cosmic energies and they are reflected in our politics as well as our night skies as a number of old things close out and new things open.

It’s time to shuck off the past and take a step forward even if you don’t know what you are doing. In fact, if you feel like you don’t know what you are doing, that is probably a very good thing: it means that you don’t have a over reliance on the past ways of doing things. If you are truly starting in a new and fresh way (which totally in alignment right now) then you may feel embarrassed, foolish, unsure, and a little daunted.

You may feel like something is missing. There is–it’s like losing a particular kind of sense. There is something strange right now that makes you feel unsure but the good thing is that you have many other senses and now is a time to rely on those instead of whatever the old way was. It is time to try a new way of moving in the world.

Operate on trust and follow your passions. Trust yourself, even if you feel foolish. It is an excellent time to review your goals and where you want to go but ultimately you need to trust that deep down you know the right direction to go in even if it is weird or doesn’t make sense. If you feel called to do something that feels like a waste of time: do it. That’s the way to be! It might just be your inspiration talking, guiding you on a path that will lead you on a grand and spiritual direction.

Everything is still going a bit slowly as I catch up with some things. As I mentioned last week, my car was totaled in a 4 car accident on Dec 29th. Luckily I made it ok, and this week I got a new (used) teal-green Toyota Corolla. I love it!

Below is the reading for the week to help you make faster progress.

You got to be strong this week.

Last week I was involved in a 4 car accident and my car was totaled. I am OK but…this week I am really needing to exercise my inner strength. So do we all.

Don’t forget you can still join us for the rest of the free Sacred Writing Challenge as a way to tune into your strength as well. If you haven’t already that is–thanks to all participating, you are really making me happy.

Below is the reading for the week to help you make faster progress, with some EXTRA insight just for you who get my emails.

This week’s message is strength

You may also enjoy this Youtube Video on the message for the week. (Recorded a few months ago when we had the same theme)

The appearance of this card upright at this moment in time signifies that we have reached a place of strength and we will be exploring building our strength at this time.

How we define strength can be contentious–it’s not all about being aggressive or assertive in a way that takes power away from others. It is not about having a tight grip on control.

True strength in the spiritual sense according to my sources is about finding inner harmony and listening to the guidance of a higher power or force in a way that steps around the chatter of the ego, and allows one’s individual light to truly shine through.

We all have our vices and our weak moments. Often times it is the way that we relate to our own personal doubts and dreams that makes the biggest difference. This week you will be letting go or loose in your attachment to those imperfections and instead your attention will be drawn to your strength. You will find hope available to you nearby when you reach for it even if you feel challenged.

This card encourages you to maintain your habits and spiritual disciplines, such as meditation, healthy eating or exercise. The time has come to crack down on resistance and get your habits in gear even through resistance–unless you are sure it’s time to let go of whatever you are trying to do at this time.

Sometimes it takes strength to treat yourself and celebrate, or to see your gifts and appreciate them as they truly are, or even to take self care steps that you dearly need, all because you may have been led by others to avoid this in the past. But now it is time to cultivate and celebrate your inner strength for no other reason than you feel spiritually guided and you know it is the right thing to do for your own self’s health.

My soul loves this time of year. Every so often, I do a special FREE event called the Sacred Writing Challenge.

It started a few years ago when I was meditating on the Akashic Records. Something just struck me– it was an idea that wanted to get into action immediately. A list of writing prompts came through me on the page, and within 24 hours, I had my first group writing through the prompts together. Never in my life did something so grand come together so quickly and easily, and now we have over 170 people involved.
