Mastering the Art of Doing Nothing.
aka... the art of leisure. Why this matters & why this triggers.

As a Projector in Human Design, part of my deconditioning path & process is learning how to slow down. It’s working in smaller, more natural bursts of energy. Not filling every single time block of my days & sitting with “The Nothing”. Sitting with… not doing anything at all. This has been the most unexpectedly triggering process, with more gold nuggets to be found than I could have ever imagined.
With all of our outer planets in Air & Fire… what could be more powerful & needed than slowing down? What could be tucked in there? What are we avoiding in the quiet moments? What have we labeled “leisure” to represent to us? Is that a thought that we want to keep or can we give it to the next Full Moon? Let’s talk.
The ALL SIGNS Readings on YouTube have been one of my favorite ways to connect with you. I love how personal we can get in them. For the last Full Moon in Sagittarius, what came through for Sagittarius was somewhat unexpected… slow down. You don’t have to “BE” Sag all the time, you don’t have to have it all held together nor do you have to live up to anything that anyone expects of you. I invite you to vibrate with this & ponder what this means personally… for you.
What does slowing down mean to you?
What does “doing nothing” mean to you?
What does leisure mean to you personally?
What “stock image” comes to mind as you read these words?
& is that something that you truly believe?
Being at peace with being at peace can be something we label as “lazy” or “out of reach” or “boring”… we might think of it as something only children or “extremely poor or extremely rich people do” or…. something we only do on vacation.
Sibyl & I… slowing down.
What I have personally found in slowing down (I’ve mentioned this on YouTube & in my video Mastering the Art of Doing Nothing, linked below, we dive deeper into this topic) is that grief comes up, tears come up & then peace. There is (eventually) this quiet peace & this humm of the world that I can hear, it sings. God speaks clearly & messages come through powerfully. Self love is integrated & what truly matters (Sibyl, my cat among other things) is as clear as day. Clean & clear. My path immediately lights up.
I follow my curiosity & even if my Capricorn Moon labels something as “irrelevant & a waste of time” I push past that & keep going. Sometimes our “intuition” is not our intuition but a voice that sounds like our own & is meant to try to keep us safe. My Cap Moon wants me prosperous & successful, but might not understand beginning at the end. It might not know what to do with the “goal” already being here & now. It might simply love the hustle & I might have to teach it how to slow down with me (Challenger Sudoku puzzles have been wildly helpful here).
We channel in the New Earth cleanly when we slow down & simply vibrate. We bust past our own triggers & traumas & find that (truly): that is all we are responsible for. What is directly in front of us, on our plate, in our path. The rest, we discover in the nothing, we choose to put in front of us.
With our phones or the chosen channels we subscribe to: we choose to see something that is not in our here & now. We choose to watch certain content, we choose to allow the application we use to decide for us. When we view things with a clear & sober head (link to a deep dive video on this below) we realize that in every moment: we choose.
Does our choice raise our vibration?
Does it teach us?
Does it lower our vibration?
Does it scare us?
Are we spreading that fear?
Are we actually learning?
Are we transmuting something?
How are we engaging with what is in front of us?
A wonderful way to work with this energy is to “give it” to the next Full Moon. Working with Full Moon energy is a path I invite you to walk. Identifying what belief you have & do not want & giving it over to the Full Moon to be done with is a wonderful & simple way to allow the God of your understanding to swoop in & take away what is not serving you. Making Sober decisions & looking at life through quiet & clear eyes… something that might bring up more than we expect but it IS an efficient path to get to “where we want to be” aka: become who we want to be.
Let life & the decisions you make be personal right now. When the drop of the ocean (you) changes… the whole ocean (the human collective) does to. Going inward is the quickest way to actually make permanent & wide reaching change stick.
