AWAKENING

The Energies of 2025: Awakening, Empathy, and the Journey into Light

Kia ora, beautiful people! 

As we step into 2025, the world’s buzzing with energies that’ll knock your jandals off. We’re talkin' about a full-on cosmic shift here, stirring up the wairua (spirit) in ways we’ve never seen before. People are waking up, opening their eyes, and realising there's more to life than the daily grind. It’s like the universe is giving us a big ol' nudge, saying, "Oi, it’s time to step into the light."

After 10 years of delving deep in the world of holistic healing—I’ve seen my fair share of spiritual awakenings. But 2025? This one’s next level. It’s like the universe chucked the energy dial to full blast.

The Energies of 2025: A Cosmic Shift

The cosmic line-up this year is as epic as a haka at sunrise. The vibes are off the charts, and here’s what’s going down:

1. Sky-High Vibrations: Earth’s energy is cranking, and it’s got everyone feeling a bit wobbly. If you’re feeling more sensitive or emotional than usual, you’re not going bonkers—you’re tuning in.
2. Awakening Abilities: Psychic flashes, gut feelings, and "wait, did that just happen?" moments are popping up for heaps of people who never thought they were the ‘spiritual type.’
3. Collective Wairua Rising: People are chucking out the old rules and asking the big questions. We’re all part of a bigger picture, and that picture’s getting clearer by the day.

The Empath's Role: A Gateway to the New World

Being an empath isn’t just about feeling all the feels. It’s like having an internal GPS for energy, guiding you through life with a sixth sense. In 2025, empaths aren’t just surviving we’re thriving.

How to Spot an Empath (Could Be You!):

• You pick up on vibes quicker than a tui spots a kōwhai.
• Busy places make you feel like you need a lie-down.
• Animals and nature? You’re basically their bestie.
• You get gut feelings that are bang on.
• Friends spill their guts to you without a second thought.

Sound familiar? Welcome to the club.

If This Is You, You're Not Going Crazy - Here's What You Can Do:

• Ground Yourself Regularly: When you're soaking up all the feels like a sponge, grounding is your best mate. Get your bare feet on the grass, dip 'em in the ocean, or hug a good ol' pōhutukawa tree. Feel that connection to Papatūnuku (Mother Earth).
• Create Energy Boundaries: Not every vibe you pick up deserves a seat at your table. Visualise a protective bubble around you—make it sparkly if you like—that lets the good stuff in and keeps the heavy stuff out.
• Self-Care Is Non-Negotiable: Think of self-care like charging your phone. You wouldn't let it hit 1%, would you? So, meditate, nap, journal, or do a bit of Mirimiri to reset your wairua.
• Find Your Tribe: Hang out with people who get you. Whether it's an online group, a spiritual circle, or your cousin who talks to crystals, having a support crew makes a world of difference.
• Trust You’re Not Going Crazy: When you’re feeling energies or having intuitive hits, it can be full-on. But you’re not losing the plot. You’re just waking up to parts of yourself that have always been there.
• Nourish Your Abilities: Explore energy healing practices like Reiki or Ashati, dive into tarot readings, or try meditation techniques to strengthen your intuitive muscle. Think of it like going to the gym, but for your soul.

Sound familiar? Welcome to the club. You’re not alone, and you’re definitely not bonkers. You’re an empath stepping into your power.

Mistakes on the Path and How to Dodge ‘Em

The spiritual path isn’t all rainbows and good vibes. Here are some rookie mistakes and how to sidestep them:

• Thinking Sensitivity = Weakness: Nah, no way. It’s your superpower.
• Forgetting Self-Care: You can’t pour from an empty cup. Ground yourself, get outside, breathe in that fresh air and connect more.
• Carrying Other People's Baggage: Just 'cause you feel it doesn’t mean you own it. Learn to let that stuff go. Learn how to disconnect.
• Chasing Validation: Your journey is your own. Don’t sweat it if others don’t get it. Its not about them, but its all about you.

The Light Within: A Personal Yarn

After decades of working with souls from all walks of life, I’ve seen it all. The highs, the lows, the "what the heck is happening?" moments. But 2025? It’s like the universe is in fast-forward. Lessons come quick, growth is intense, and if you’re paying attention, magic is everywhere.

Feeling the pull? Don’t ignore it. You’re not alone. The energy of 2025 is your personal cheer squad, pushing you to level up.

To Wrap It Up

2025 isn’t just another year; it’s a vibe. It’s about awakening, connecting, and stepping into your power. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been on this path for ages, remember this: your light matters.

So, trust the process. Embrace your sensitivity. Own your empathic gift. The universe has your back, and this year? It’s all about rising, shining, and living your truth.
