It’s no secret I love purging.

I love clearing out the old to prepare for the new. I love devouring my web and creating a new one like my spider friends.

I love clean slates and fresh starts.

I love it because it makes me feel light and free.

Whenever I create space through the tension of releasing blocks, clearing stagnation, and letting go of the old, I am met with joy, freedom, empowerment, truth, and what I need and desire on a soul level.

If you lack the energy to create your life, you must look to what needs to be let go of, cleared, or where energy can be freed up to revitalize your creative magic!

These are fundamental laws of the nature of creation. Energy fills where it can easily flow. This can relate to energetic/emotional/physical capacity within ourselves or to a more external material level, and often, there is a direct connection between the two.

As someone attuned to the nature of this experience, following the weather of life, I am always guided into a creating space kick as the seasons turn. When the summer solstice came upon us, I suddenly had very specific creating space downloads come through for this season:
