Rose Awakening

Angels have a name in the Eastern teachings: devas. On Saturday we’re gathering to work with them.

The Deva Healing circle meets at the Black Hills Spiritual Center for Peace on September 12, 5:30–7:15 PM. We’ll spend the first half hour grounding in the Trans-Himalayan teachings and how deva invocation actually works, then an hour in the invocation itself, then time to close and integrate.

The work moves through three levels. Globally, clearing what blocks the will-to-good on this planet. Locally, calling on the nature devas for our water, our biodiversity, our food, our climate resilience here in the Hills. And individually — for our local leaders, for humanitarian efforts, and for a personal healing request you can include when you register.

Chairs provided. Come in something comfortable, eat lightly beforehand, bring water or tea.

This is part of our private offerings at Rose Awakening, so registration takes a moment to confirm. Link in bio, or scan the code on the first slide.

A group comes into incarnation together because they came to express the same archetype. Not the same personality, not the same life, not even the same era of a life. The archetype is the thing they hold in common. It pulls them into the same window of time the way a magnet pulls filings into a shape.

Diana died on August 31, 1997. Mother Teresa died five days later. One was 36 and lived in the middle of the world’s attention. One was 87 and lived in Calcutta among the dying. Nothing about their lives matched. The astrological moment around that window pressed a feminine quality forward into humanity, and both of them had spent their lives carrying a piece of it. They came out together because the work they were part of was one work.

That is what group incarnation actually means. Not friends who find each other. People assigned to the same archetype who mostly never meet.

And all this soul work, is about giving the world our souls work. Our soul expression, our love wisdom used for willful action in the world.

May you do the soul work so you can give the world your souls work.

If you’ve built your path around feeling the light, you might be thinking that’s the measure of how far you’ve come.

I understand why. When light moves through you it feels so far beyond ordinary life that of course it reads as the spiritual thing and if more of it comes, surely that means you’re growing.

But feeling light is an incomplete measurement. It’s like saying your health is only what you eat. Not your sleep, not your movement, not the quality of your relationships, not your capacity to move through hard things. Just the one part you can feel most easily.

Here’s what I’ve come to understand 👇🏻

Light pouring into a personality that isn’t yet integrated is light pouring into a system with holes in it and it comes out as imbalance in your mind, your emotions, your body, your actual life.

Growing up spiritually means building a conscious relationship with your own soul. Not an entity. Not the astral plane. Not the egregore of a religion. Your higher self.

Some practices were built for another age. You can give one your whole life and not move an inch not because you failed at it, but because it was never built to take you there.

I’m not asking anyone to throw anything away. I still practice Qigong and I’ll keep practicing it. Just not as the main path.

And when you do grow up, your gifts stop being something you collect and become something you carry a sacred responsibility to humanity you get to be more conscious of in every moment.

Luis and I went much deeper into this in our newest YouTube conversation, The Aquarian Age Spirituality. Link in bio 🤍

So many of us have been handed the same lie, that feeling other people’s pain is a problem to always be managed. Shield. Protect your energy. Cut the cord. Walk away.

And respectfully? That advice comes from people who were never taught what pain is for. If the only thing you know how to do is absorb it, then yes, avoidance is the sane choice.

But we need water to survive, and we don’t drink every body of water we come into contact with. Same with pain. The question was never feel it or block it. The question is what you’re able to do with it once it’s in your hands.

From the view of the soul, pain is information. It’s one of the ways love learns to express itself. And it develops qualities in a person that will not unfold any other way…patience that isn’t performative, a steadiness that holds, real compassion instead of the idea of it.

We’ve just been conditioned to believe that a sensitive heart is a liability to be defended. What if we didn’t subscribe to that narrative anymore?

Because the heart has its own intelligence, and it doesn’t wake up by being protected from everything. It wakes up through practice. Deliberate, chosen, with discernment about when and how much.

In case we haven’t met before, hi — we are Megan & Luis, and we are here to teach you how to stop avoiding pain and start using it to nourish the soul and express what your heart already knows.
