Dear Ones,

Most of you who have transitioned likely need rest. Not because you are exhausted, but because so many who have recently decided to transition are looking for help. Many of you are supreme caretakers, so you are using much of your energy to assist those following. We of the Universes must reiterate that this is not necessary, and doing so needlessly uses up the energy you do have.

Please do not feel you are everyone’s caretaker or guardian.

Just as you had the skills and energy to transition, so do those currently transitioning. It is not your responsibility, nor is it anyone else’s. Those transitioning can do so without depending on others.

Those now transitioning are looking for the easiest and fastest way to do so, just as you did. But as you have learned, this transition is a step-by-step process, not a quick fix. Those following you will complete their transition more quickly than you did because you created a path that encouraged others to follow. That does not mean you need to stop progressing in your new world to help others. It merely means you have successfully completed your transition without assistance from other Earth beings, and the same is true for those following you.

You do not need to pull others up or slow down so they can catch up to you. Your only role now is becoming you, which is exhausting in itself. To do so, you must let go of much that you have carried internally for eons. Doing so is so tiring that you have no energy left to help those following you.

You are not cruel or even angry at the subconscious demands that those now transitioning are placing on you; you merely realize you do not have an interest in providing the shortcuts for others that drain your energy. Your only role is to follow your interests. And even if some of you believe that helping others is one of your interests, you will soon discover that doing so only delays your ability to discover yourself.

But some of you are so frightened about discovering your true self, despite being able to do so, that you stall by telling yourself you must stop to help others. Enough.

If this is your current reality, you are, in essence, holding yourself back a grade even though you are fully capable of performing the required tasks of that school year.

Ask yourself why you are so tired, and then rectify what you need to do to relax and continue evolving into new you. It is time, and you are more than capable of doing so. As will be true for the wave after wave following you, as soon as they adjust to their new skills and independence. 

So be it.

The Fastest Way To Calm Down

The Fastest Way To Calm Down

By Joe Martino

Posted on January 29, 2025

You know that feeling when stress creeps up, and suddenly you feel a bit anxious, fidgety, on alert, your heart rate speeding up, and your breath shallow?

It can be hard to focus and be comfortable in this space. That’s the autonomic nervous system kicking into gear, prepping you for fight or flight.

This is typically brought on by stress, deadlines, too much work, traffic, non-grounded news, a tense conversation etc.

Your nervous system is there to help keep you safe. But, the life we are living now doesn’t resemble the world of our past where we had physical dangers, like vicious animals, hunting us.

In those past scenarios, our ‘danger’ system would come on for a short period until the danger is gone, and then shut off. But in modern life, it comes on and often stays on for long periods of time. Becoming an energy drain until we regulate again.

How do we regulate again? Enter the Physiological Sigh.

This was a classic part of my breathwork training from years ago, and it ties deeply into nervous system regulation as well.

Think of the breath for a moment in this scenario. When we are amped up or anxious, our breath becomes shallow and fast… amping us up further.

But what if you could consciously say “Hey, let’s do an intentionally longer exhale to slow our heart and nervous system down?”

That’s what the physiological sigh is all about!

Here’s how to do it:

1. First off, notice your body in the moment for a few seconds. Feel some of the energy in your system. Be with the experience you’re having right now.

2. Next, take two fairly deep inhales through the nose. (2 or 3 seconds total). Comfortably fill the belly first if you can, then the chest.

3. Then slowly exhale all the air out through the mouth, as relaxed as you can. (5 or 6 seconds total)

On the exhale, let your shoulders drop, let your body relax. Breathe eeeaaasssssyyy. And let it all out but don’t force or become tense.

4. Repeat this cycle a few times, and when you’re done, take one final big inhale through the nose, hold it for a second, and let it out with a sigh.

For about a minute or two, notice what changes after the breath. Pay curious attention.

Remember, use this when you feel a bit too amped up, or anxious, or when you are trying to settle your system bit.
