2021 forecastToday we continue with part 2 of our 2021 NorthStar Reading.  For those of you unfamiliar, my NorthStar Readings contain inspired insights.  Each section of the reading contains a message dictated to me by spirit.  This week, in Part 2, we’ll look at where you can expect your breakthroughs and quantum leaps this year.  Again, you might want to print this one to mull over with a nice cup of tea.

As I began this part of our reading, I was first given this message:

The Challenge

Dearest One,
2021 is meant to be a year of extraordinary breakthrough and quantum leaps forward in your growth into the light. For the purpose of understanding this we will look at a Bardo Pattern. It’s the Bardo Initiation Challenge of Self-Restriction, thus we name it as the Challenge for this your year.

Now you may shudder to think of facing a difficult pattern.  And you may feel it is not a positive thing.  But we wish you to understand this with greater insight for the truth of this is beautiful and hopeful and inspiring indeed.

The energies of this year are especially formulated for help humanity achieve freedom by moving beyond deeply programmed tendencies to self-limit.  

This is a time that will assist in setting humanity free.  For it is self-restriction that limits the power of the soul in your life.  It is here you will breakthrough and leap ahead.

You are not on your own in this.  As we have said, the energies of the year are uniquely set up to support humanity in this.  Each person who recognizes the wonder of setting themselves free from self-restriction and seizes this challenge for what it is, will be rewarded beyond belief.

Bardo Patterns are Initiatory in nature because they are ones that effect the group as a whole.  When an individual graduates from one, they advance a whole level and they do so not only for themselves but for humanity as a whole. This is light work at its most promising and highest.  It is exciting.

So let us turn to an exploration of a Bardo Pattern that has effected humanity adversely for so very very long.

Let’s look at the Bardo Pattern challenge laid out for you this year to achieve Freedom by examining self-restriction so we can understand how it works in your lives and move beyond it.

The Challenge of 2021
Bardo Initiation Challenge
Self-Restriction

In 2021, the main danger is that you will restrict or limit yourself by thinking small, holding back and hiding your light, thus failing to notice the very real blessings of this year.

This Bardo pattern mirrors a state of consciousness that effects your energy. Instead of being allowed to flow freely, the river can become constricted, dammed or forced into restrictive channels. This causes the river to pool stagnantly or swirl in circular eddies.  

If the river is allowed to choose its own channel, to flood and meander, it will create a new course with a rush of vitalizing energies.  Think of how spring rains flood a river delta creating exponential new growth.  When physical energy replenishes with natural force – when surging spiritual energy fills the vessel – that energy is then meant to be expressed.

However, when that energy is held back, it produces a state of anxiety and frustration of body, mind, and emotion.  This is anxiety created by self-restriction.  A feeling of confusion, of not knowing what to do with such energy might create the block.  Or you might be holding your energy back, waiting until things are perfect, or less frightening and so forth.  

Whatever the reason for holding back, it restricts your creative energy and endeavors.  This causes a buildup of unreleased energy somewhat like a log jam in a river causes  blockage.  You feel pent up, stuck, and experience difficulty moving in new directions.  There is also difficulty accessing your own inherent wisdom.  Lethargy results.

Your energy wants to express without limitation, unrestrained. Now is the time for action.  This might mean merely to let your ideas flow, to dream outside of the box and make a plan.  Whether the action is large or small, grand or modest, passive (i.e.: using thought to exploring and craft the potential) or very active as in planning and implementing, it is action that is called for!  

Restricting your abundant physical or spiritual energy is like keeping a car in neutral while flooring the gas pedal.  This is a good metaphor for the anxiety and frustration of holding yourself back.  It creates spiritual frustration, inner conflict, a sense of discord as the motor races with no possibility of movement.

When stuck, the answer is movement. Try a step-by-step process.  Make a list of steps… they do not need to be all the right steps.  They don’t need to be a comprehensive or cohesive plan.  Just doable steps.  

Then begin.  Beginning with simple action is the important thing.  Simple action creates flow. Remain flexible as one step leads to another and the next perhaps leading in a new and unexpected direction.  

Once you let the river begin to flow, it may appear chaotic at first, it may even seem an undesirable flooding, bursting, or a muddy swirl, but this will ultimately lead to a sure course in a discernible channel.  Know that this is true, trust in the simple action and begin. It will lead you out of this Bardo challenge of self-restriction.

If there are issues or matters you are holding back from, avoiding – perhaps a legal situation, or a difficult problem or choice – action is the key to freeing yourself from anxiety or frustration.  There is a strong need to express yourself by taking consistent step-by-step actions.  

Remember each step is your own choice, each choice leads to new perspective, each new perspective opens to new choices.   Also, each choice and each step can be changed or adjusted as you go.  If you simply get going.

As with all Bardo Challenges its roots may be in childhood events.  It may also have shown up again in the past few years.  One of your parents may have been stuck in the pattern of holding back.  Reflect on these – if it helps achieve movement – but don’t be tempted to dwell there.  Understanding may be helpful, but it is not the answer.  Movement is.  Motion is life.   

You may need to borrow initiative and determination from places such as great athletes, Navy Seals, and others that know the real capabilities of the human mind, spirit and body.  Perhaps you will be served by setting aside an old preference for things to come easily, for magic bullets or wishful thinking.  

Just take some action each day even when you don’t feel like it or want to.  You will likely need to act out of character, but that’s how you gain a new characteristic – and gain freedom from an old one.

The appearance of this Personal Bardo Initiation in your reading indicates it’s time to get going!  Get the energy in motion!  Begin to move.  The rest will follow.  The time is right.  Trust this and take small steps.  

We know you will move beyond Self-Limitation now because you are ready, dearest initiate.  It is a gateway to a whole new dimension of being, one that you deeply long to inhabit.

Freedom is at hand.  As you end your tendency to limit and restrict yourself by thinking small, holding back and hiding your light you will be be thrilled with the freedom you gain and the blessings and gifts that come forth.

Next week in Part Three of our 2021 series, we’ll look at the real Opportunity of 2021 for you, Unleashing the Power of your Heart. And the week following, in Part Four, we’ll learn of The Great Promise of 2021 and receive a special messages from spirit to inspire and encourage you about your coming year.

From the Light of being, without self-limitation,
And with love,
