Laying the foundation of your dreams is one of the most important things you can do. It can also feel like the least fun phase of creation.

Think of a house. The foundation of the home just looks like a hole in the ground. It seems contrary – the house you want to build will be above the ground so it can seem like digging down is going in the wrong direction. Even as you start to see the foundation itself start to take form, it is very difficult to imagine the house itself because there are no floors, no walls, no roof.

But wisdom and experience has taught you that if you do not get the foundation done properly it will not be able to support the structure above in a safe and sustainable way. So while you are anxious to complete the house, decorate it, and move in, the foundation must be given the greatest care and consideration in order to allow your creation to become everything you want it to be.

This is the energetic phase you are in now. The land has been cleared, you have dug deep, and now you are pouring the forms (creating new templates) that make all other things possible. This is not a phase to be rushed, but rather to be attended to with care and consideration, wisdom and patience, so that it can fully support your exciting new expressions of self in ways that serve both you and the whole. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
