The Christmas Gifts

Christmas Eve.

The energy began as it often does, in my legs. I twitched and kicked until my awareness registered it. After I consciously received the energy with gratitude, it started in ernest. It felt strong and beautiful.

After a short while of lovely energy, I heard my soul ask, “How does it feel?” I checked into the sensations within my body. It felt good and open as though my energy was wide open to the universe. I felt beautifully free. 

In my awareness I sensed the angels nearby, my ears rang with their shimmering sound. I began to sense a wide almost table like structure in front of me. Then I sensed other energies - universal energies, Source, angels, archangels, ascended masters, The Ancestors, my family in Spirit, and the soul realm.

They were all there, Spirit in all forms, the ones I used to call my Spirit Team. They called themselves The Council. They had a message for me. A long message that my waking mind barely remembers and only in fragments. 

I am in a new era. I have ascended, expanded. The challenges of this year were preparing me for what I am receiving in this new era. The Ancestors will return to channel with me, as will others energies and entities. This is the era of receiving. The work is done. There are more purposes to fulfill. Some are known and some are new. 

After the messages, I was filled with love and light, and visions. I saw my future self. I saw interesting conversations and a deeply connected love. I saw fulfillment of purpose and fulfillment of my body, mind, heart, and soul. I saw myself as a radiant being moving through life. I also saw myself on a stage. 

Ever since I realized my spiritual awakening, Spirit and soul have shown me on a stage. For years they have been conditioning me, a highly sensitive introvert, to be comfortable on a stage. One pronounced vision The Council showed me was my future self comfortable and radiant on a stage speaking.

In as much as I saw it all, I felt it even more. I embodied the vision that The Council was showing me. I felt radiant. I felt at peace and it felt natural. There was no resistance, I was ready. I am ready.

Like the night I drove over Raton Pass, this was a celebration of ascension and expansion. By my count that’s three such ascension celebrations this year. This gift I received on Christmas Eve was unique. It was the first time I received Spirit in all forms and soul together, and it felt significant. It was the first gift of the new era.

Christmas Day.

The energy started but it wasn’t what I expected - it was an illusion. I was sitting with someone and having a conversation. It felt good to have someone to “talk” to, but I didn’t lose myself. I knew it was an illusion and I used it to better know myself. 

I used the illusion to process the new era and vision that The Council had shown me the night before. It felt like a conversation in the new era and with new people. It felt like the newest version of me. It felt like integration. It felt good and right. 

A couple of weeks ago, I had asked for a new project while I waited for the new era to show up in my life. Now that the new era had arrived, I received a new project. It was something that I had been mulling over for months, a re-write of my Finding Your Soul Purpose blog series. 

I originally wrote it and published it between October and December of 2023. Since then I have evolved, changed my perspective, and deepened my understanding of some of our soul’s purpose. Now, Spirit and soul are asking for a re-write. I am ready for this first project of the new era, and the co-creative energy is already flowing. 

Boxing Day. (But not because we don’t celebrate that in the U.S.) 

I was guided to tarot and astrology readings all saying the same things and confirming the vision and messages of the two prior days. I did what I usually do when I listened to readings, I translated what resonated into intentions for my life. 

Spirit in all forms, The Council, had opened the doors. Soul had guided me through it and to the readings that resonated. I set the intentions and affirmed what resonated. We all have our part in manifesting this new era.

The new era that I’ve been promised for months is finally coming into fruition. With the guidance of Spirit and soul, I both see it and feel it. My new life is beginning to form. 

It is a life that I am manifesting and allowing to flow to me. It is a life that is an extension of my spiritual path and soul’s purposes. It is one that is co-created and aligned. 

To be transparent, I was not looking forward to the holiday season this year. My life situation isn’t supportive of the festive season. But then Spirit and soul were there for me loving, supporting, protecting, and guiding me. 

The gifts they provided made this holiday season one that has changed my life. My inner world is fully in the new era, which means it is only a matter of time before my outer world matches it. 

In the meantime, I have a writing project that will keep me engaged, and opportunities to channel The Ancestors and others who come through. I am grateful for these gifts and the gift that is my spiritual life.

I am grateful you’re here. I am grateful for your support, and grateful too that this community continues to grow.

Since the beginning of this blog, I made a conscious choice to not run advertisements. As someone who is highly sensitive and intuitive, I find ads intrusive and energetically caustic. But don’t let that fool you, this blog is bigger than it seems. 

Each month we have tens of thousands of people from hundreds of countries come to these pages. Our community has grown steadily over the years. More of us are awakening and gathering information to help us move forward in our process, on our spiritual paths, and towards our souls’ purposes. 

I am grateful for each of you and all of you. 

May your spiritual life and awakening process bring you love, wisdom, abundance, and purpose. 

I love you. 

Be well, beautiful soul and human,

Nikki
