Hi my friend,

It’s an honor to connect with you in this way again. We have so much to catch up, so let’s get right to it!

For most of the month of April, it will feel like powerful forces are working behind the scenes, offering empowering energies that can lift us to higher levels of joy, love, well-being, and prosperity.

The only thing asked of us, is that we pay attention to the opportunities, inner nudges, and outer signs asking us to take the gentle inspired action that can lead us into those higher levels.

A Welcome Change

The month of April is all about experiencing greater success through positive change.

These changes will not come from us forcing or pushing anything into being, but easily and naturally, from a place of inspiration.

They will be the result of previous seeds we had planted and nurtured, that finally have the opportunity to blossom and thrive.

This can apply to any area of our lives, including personal development, health, wealth, career, relationships, and more.

Some of the seeds we planted a while ago we may have forgotten about. That just means we will be pleasantly surprised when we see them come back into our experience, fully blossomed.

Turning Our Fire into Gold

In April, there will be a great deal of fire energy in the air. If we tend to be more of an emotionally reactive person, this could manifest itself as energies of anger and resentment in the body and mind.

Yet anger and resentment can be gifts in disguise—here’s how:

When we feel anger or resentment come up, rather than trying to “get rid” of those feelings or judge ourselves for experiencing them, we can see them as creative energies that simply need the right outlet.

Anger and resentment are just that—creative energy that has not yet found a productive outlet. That energy simply needs our guidance to move in the right direction.

So the very energies that have felt uncomfortable and often painful for us in the past can now actually become energetic gold, once they are given a healthy outlet.

Here are some suggestions for how we can transform the energies of anger and resentment into the energies of passion, peace, and fulfillment:

Engage in physical activity and move our body – When we channel anger and resentment into a high-impact physical activity such as speed-walking, dancing, cycling, or sports, any anger energy we are holding in our body starts to unlock, move through channels of release, and resolve itself. Once the body starts to feel more at ease and at peace, the mind often follows, and vice versa. Moving our body opens up a space for the mind to become more neutral towards the anger, allowing the anger to shift into something more productive, such as passion and determination.

Listen to what the anger and resentment are saying – When these energies come up, it’s often your mind’s way of saying that it needs something from you.

If we are in a reactive space, we are usually not fully able to hear what the mind is saying it really wants. So the mind will look for satisfaction by wanting something outside us.

It may think it wants more money, more attention from a friend or partner, more confidence, a better job, or for us to become successful or work harder—the list goes on.

All of these stories the mind creates are actually just its way of saying it needs something from you.

At the core, your mind just wants to receive love, compassion, acceptance, and acknowledgment from you. When it receives these things, you will notice that it creates less resistance for you, and actually begins to feel safe enough to let your Spirit/True Self lead the way.

So when anger and resentment come up, ask your mind what it needs from you, then be willing to give it that.

If you are unable to get a clear message about what your mind needs, just be a compassionate, nonjudgmental presence for it, the way an unconditionally loving mother would be towards her child.

This will help the mind to feel heard and acknowledged, and the anger and resentment it was using to get your attention will soften and dissolve.

Channel the anger and resentment into a hobby you love – A hobby is something we do because we love it. We usually place no pressure on ourselves to “make money” or “get something” out of it, except pure enjoyment.

When we channel anger and resentment into doing something we love, those energies are transformed into a passion. As we pour that passion into a hobby, we become more dedicated to it, which can lead to us becoming an expert in that area.

Once we become an expert at something, the next natural progression can be that our expertise meets with a high demand from others, leading to a new career and business.

There are no limits to the magic we can create when we move in this direction!

As we take up at least some of the above actions, the fiery energies of April can serve as the blessings we are ready to receive.

They can now be channeled in a direction that feels expansive and exciting to us!
