The integration back into the United States from Costa Rica after my near death experience and some other cosmic adventures has been interesting. I have gotten the following intuitive nudges (and no more) for myself since being back:
Meditate EVERYDAY
Attend a 10-day Vipassana Silent Meditation Retreat
Hold your center
Get off tech
Eat higher vibrational foods
No flashes of insight about my life purpose, life partner, or how to make some dinero.
Apparently, I am just to work on stabilizing myself during a very de-stabilizing time in history.
I am spending most of my time on long walks, in meditation, experimenting with vegan meals in the kitchen, or in the bathtub.
I made a vision board in January like I do most years. The way I like to approach them is to let the images and words I cut out tell me a story.
Except for two lions, a woman in a yoga pose, and a few surfing pictures, my entire vision board is of women meditating.
At the top of it, I pasted the words “quantum leap”. So it appeared I would be using this year to meditate myself off the planet (excellent timing given the smashing success 2025 is off to), but as the last six weeks have revealed, I am actually being asked to integrate my cosmic adventures with the experience of being a human living in the 3D world.
The rub for me is: I don’t resonate with being a human.
When I was in The Hamptons in November with those new and brief friends, I ended up on a call with one of the girls spiritual advisors. The whole thing was bizarre. It was supposed to be her ‘therapy’ session but she called me in and because my boundaries are still quite permeable, before I knew it I was the one receiving a mix of therapy, astrological insight, energy work, and doing a guided meditation where I was very much NOT on this planet, if you know what I mean.
We can save my boundary issues for another day, because what I want to share is what she said to me at the end of the session that I can’t stop thinking about.
She said, “Leah, you have to come all the way in to get all the way out.”
I’ve thought about this a lot since I’ve returned to Wisconsin and gather pieces of myself in my little hometown.
I am trying to currently figure out how to live with the knowledge that I am a celestial being but I have to (excuse me, get to) live in this 3D avatar body.
The way is inconclusive but the mission is clear (and thanks to YouTube and ChatGPT, I’ll figure it out):
Be here. In this moment. On this planet. At this time in history. Fully feeling.
