2025 carried the energy of a “9 year” – a period of releasing, clearing, and letting go. For many, it has been marked by endings: physical death, the death of old persona’s, relationships, ideas, and long‑held beliefs.

2026 – THE ENERGY OF MANIFESTATION
Now we move beyond this closing cycle and into a new one, ushered in by the energy of 2+0+2+6 = 10: the energy of manifestation. The Mayan Tzolkin Codex describes the energy of ten as follows: “What were once intentions, ideas, hopes, or fears become physically present with the energy of Ten. This is the energy when what has had attention and intention focused upon it becomes real; a powerful energy that carries great responsibility.”

RELEASING
While we continue to remain within a larger cycle of clearing and releasing – a wave of energy that may continue until 2032 – for the next 12 months this overall process will be focused through the lens of the energy of manifestation.

What we have sown in the past, combined with what we continue to sow right now through our daily thoughts and emotions, will be amplified by this energy and swiftly reaped during the year ahead.

This manifestation will be evident not only in our personal lives but also in the wider world where we can expect even greater changes and upheavals.

THE VEIL IS NOW LIFTING
Systems built on unconsciousness and self-centred control will be further exposed.  The old order built from the Kali-yuga age will continue to crack open and collapse.

NO MATTER THE FEAR OR CONTROL, THE AWAKENING SHIFT IS UNSTOPPABLE
Despite efforts by unconscious forces to reinforce old structures through fear‑based events, increased so called “security” measures, and further restrictions on free speech—the awakening shift is now inevitable and unstoppable.

THE KEY IS TO REMAIN CENTRED
As Rudyard Kipling reminds us in his poem If: “If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs…” 

The work this year is to keep ourselves as centred as possible, making presence and peace our primary purpose rather than the habitual egoic protection and aggrandisement.

NEW WAVES 
The waves of consciousness now flowing into Earth’s system are of a high frequency. Those not attuned to these energies may experience mental and emotional disturbances. Be kind to those who suffer, and above all, be kind towards yourself! Always remember to return, over and over again, to your centre, which is Presence.

LIVE FROM YOUR GOD-SELF – RATHER THAN YOUR EGOIC PERSONALITY SELF
While 2025 was about clearing and letting go, 2026 carries the power of manifestation, yet the only thing that truly matters is the present moment, this is where our authentic power resides. Remember, when you make either the past or future more important than Presence you invite suffering. Create no more suffering.  It is a choice.

What will sustain us through this period of rapid and unprecedented change is resilience as well as our ability to remain centred and to value peace more than the personal “stories” in our minds.

THERE IS PURPOSE…
Know, that there is meaning and purpose in all of this. Trust that everything is unfolding as it should, serving the greater purpose of our individual as well as collective evolution and awakening.

THE FOCUS FOR 2026
As we step into 2026, focus on letting go – this is the essence of forgiveness. Let go of anger, resentment, and blame. Let go of the need to be right, the need to know, and even be open to letting go of cherished ideas and beliefs. This release, this forgiveness, clears the way for life’s abundance and joy to flow through us more openly and freely into the world.

Contemplate this:
Awakening is when the background becomes the foreground.
