Dark Night of the Soul?

by 8hummingbirdway

I had a recent experience that was difficult, confusing and unsettling …and it made me wonder whether I had (or have) arrived at what is called “The Dark Night of the Soul.” This is a challenging time or experience that I have read/heard about. It’s something that one on a spiritual journey often has to go through or navigate.

I do feel that I am walking a spiritual path. A friend recently called me a “seeker,” …which felt accurate.

I was visiting 2 sisters with my daughter and grandson. It was an important journey that had been long envisioned and put off twice.

Finally, it came to be. We had made the journey across 2 time zones, and had 3 days to connect with both of my sisters and some other relatives. All went well. We shared meals and played games and took a small hike in the Rockies.

On the last night of our visit, I was overtired and short of sleep. I had consumed a great deal of coffee for 3 days – not my normal pattern. I wanted to be present for all of it – with my sisters, daughter, grandson, nephew, etc., so I put off naps I should have taken, and on the last night I agreed to take my sister back to her apartment even though I was exhausted and unfamiliar with the car and nobody else wanted to come along.

One sister lives almost an hour from where we were staying at my other sister’s house. The roads were winding and a bit sketchy in some places.

I thought I knew the way but did not. Right after dropping off my sister, it started to get dark and I didn’t even know how to operate the lights, had to pull over in traffic. I became very tired, and a little uncertain that I was going the right way for a while. (Grateful for GPS.)

I was nervous and I started to blame my daughter and my sister for allowing me to go alone. I knew it made no sense. I didn’t even ask for company. All day I knew I’d be taking this ride and I didn’t take a nap as I should have. I even had a piece of cake before leaving the house …and I knew as I ate it that it would make me less alert …but the blame kept rising in me.

There was nobody to blame but myself, but I was upset. I made it back safely. It had been a grueling trip back for me, and I didn’t talk to anyone, just proceeded to get ready for bed, not my normal warm/connected self.

My sister sensed something and knocked on my door. I said I’d be right out, and went to the living room where my daughter, my grandson, my sister and my brother-in-law were chatting.

My sister asked if I was ok. I said I was just tired, that it was too much for me to drive alone so late and it was nobody’s fault but mine. But there was blame in my voice. I heard it. I felt it. I couldn’t get rid of it. Then I went to bed.

A bit later I got up apologize, but I was not in good form. My daughter was especially upset and feeling badly.

Then to bed; I slept for 2 hours. At 1am I was awake, couldn’t sleep. I read, I did puzzles, I listened to YouTube, but I couldn’t sleep. Each time I tried, the tears would come – a deep (quiet) sobbing. This went on for hours.

At one point I went to the bathroom and saw myself in the mirror. I looked like a crazy person. This is when I wondered about the dark night of the soul. I did eventually calm myself and managed to sleep for another hour.

The next morning, we were up early to say our goodbyes, return the rental car, go to the airport. I was exhausted still, doing my best to be my normal self. We took different flights. At one point I started to cry again on the plane and stopped myself. I didn’t sleep. Thankfully, my husband was there to drive me home at the end of the day.

That night I had a dream that I was performing magic and everything was in place – musicians, tools, decorations, audience members …but I was naked.

When I woke, I realized that I felt naked. I’m not sure it’s a bad thing, but that’s how I’ve been feeling.

It’s been a few days. I’ve caught up on my sleep. Maybe it will pass. Maybe it was a short “dark night of the soul” (how long does one last?) …or just exhaustion.

It was definitely not something I’ve experienced before. I can’t decide whether I’m still naked, and what does that mean? No pretense? Openly myself? Am I ok with this way of being?

Maybe it was just exhaustion. Nobody is blaming toward me.

I’m definitely paying attention.

Questions about our Future …and Physical Reality

by 8hummingbirdway

I have heard for a couple of years that life on Earth is going to change. I have come to understand that we are going to be living in another dimension (the 5th), and that our lives will be significantly more harmonious.

This has been foretold in prophecy, by psychics, seers, and channelers – both ancient and current.

As I said in a prior post, it is my understanding that our 4th dimensional self, our “higher self,” is 90% light and 10% physical, whereas we (in the 3rd dimension) are 10% light and 90% physical.

I find this information important, because I love the physical reality we live in – the hills, the trees, the wind, the ocean, hugs, and the fragrance of rosa rugosa. I have suspected that as the earth and humanity ascend to the 5th dimension, we will not be as solid, and this is somewhat unsettling to me, despite my trust in our future.

When I sing to Mother Earth each day, I sometimes wonder about the possibility that I will not be breathing in the fragrances of the soil, the flowers, …and so on. (Or breathing at all?)

I have come to understand that the Earth herself, a living sentient being, is going to be elevating her being as well – whether splitting into 2 versions or “simply” ascending.

I of course understand that at death we are separated from our physical-ness. I have assumed that we will still “see” in some way. Near-death experiences seem always to include visual aspects.

I also realize, as time passes, that not all species and realities are solid in the way that we are. The more I learn about different beings, the more I realize that physicality is not universal. However, if we are to remain on Earth, one would think physicality will sustain …at least to a large degree. And what exactly does that mean??

At the same time, I feel this is business of solidity is somewhat of a silly concern. If we are to change dimensions, it’s going to be a major adjustment …regardless of how things differ. We are going to have to navigate a great deal.

Some say we are gradually making an adjustment to a higher frequency and vibration already. And I do see an unfolding around me of this nature.

There is so much that I have not addressed here that is tangentially related to the topic of ascension – both ours and the Earth’s. What about those who are caught up in wars, sex-trafficking, drugs, and other dark pursuits?

I have recently come across the number 144,000 several times – and this number relates to the Rapture which I first learned about in my early 20s. A privileged segment of humanity with elevated beingness (goodness? holiness? believers?) will evolve from a karmic to a dharmic reality and the others will stay behind?

And I understand it’s a matter of choice. If not, how does one qualify?

And who do I think I am that I am going to be among the select few that get to go?

I don’t know what to say about these things. And there are many more questions. I hear our pets will be free. This raises questions about their safety.

And what 2 additional dimensions will exist in our future? I’m really looking forward to this understanding. I love physics.

The questions are endless. I haven’t even addressed the topics of earthquakes and a pole shift.

Even though the questions arise and remain, I’m unsure of the value of tossing all this around.

I feel a bit sacrilegious and irreverent in my handling of it today. However, I think questions are natural for those of us who contemplate these matters.

In conclusion, all I can offer is my certainty that there’s a value in walking the highest path one can …at any time …in any dimension.

I offer blessings and wellbeing to all who live in this physical today.

And I hope those who find themselves lost in darkness will find their way to the Light.

My Daily Practice – May 2026

by 8hummingbirdway

My daily spiritual practice changes over time. There is a gradual evolution. I shared about it last fall, although this was not a full description …it was about my connection with Mother Earth. It has been some time since I wrote about what I do to move forward on my spiritual path.

I share about this to provide possible inspiration to others. I recently learned about someone who dances every morning outside. This moved me, and expanded my perception of what a daily practice could be.

For me, an important aspect of my daily practice is gratitude. There are so many ways to be grateful – daily lists of blessings, speaking directly to God/Creator/Spirit, to Mother Earth and/or the Sun.

Ideally, we are able to walk in each moment with a heart full of gratitude, knowing that we are held, loved, known, and supported. I do better at this as time goes forward.

At this time, my daily practice includes:

  • Breathing exercises
  • Giving thanks to the unseen aspects of myself and my spiritual “team” which includes God, Lei Lei, my guardian angel, my 4th dimensional higher self, the healing angelic realm, and more that I do not understand or perhaps even know about. (Are any Arcturians part of my spiritual team? Maybe. This question just occurred to me.)
  • Asking this spiritual team for help in navigating the day in the highest way I can. I sometimes ask for specific help.
  • Establishing the “hollow bone” – the way Lei Lei’s messages/healing/information come to me and asking my mind not to interfere with this.
  • Meditation
  • Stretches and a few exercises including a daily walk.
  • Connect with Earth/Sun and serve as a conduit as previously posted.
  • Set the intention of chose frequencies for the day – see post here.

Additional daily intentions:

  • Prioritize availability for family texts/calls/conversations
  • Contribute to household and outside tasks in a harmonious and generous way
  • Study that which I wish to understand or connect with or learn more about

In general:

Dance, sing, love, laugh, connect to spirit, strive for balance.

These are my intentions.

A Response to Simple Thanks

by 8hummingbirdway

Recently, in my 10 minute meditation it took me a while to settle and reach the Void.

It’s my understanding that the Void is where God resides, and it took me around a year of meditating to reach this place …or state of being …or frequency.

Even now, 6 months or so after finding my way there, I don’t always reach it.

When I did arrive that morning …I expressed my gratitude for the path I have been walking recently, for coming more fully into my power, for joining a fun dance troupe, and for having a harmonious conversation with someone I had lost my balance with recently.

I have never before given thanks when I reached the void. My habit has been to wait patiently. Sometimes I ask for guidance or clarity or help or become aware of something. I might simply experience peace, or some information might be shown to me.

On this day I was bursting with gratitude and silently said “Thank you,” and listed my blessings.

Immediately after saying “Thank you,” I felt at least 4 distinct waves of love. It was …amazing …and impactful.

I felt it in my body and my soul. When I thought back to it, I realized that each wave had a different quality …movement …density …color(s). I’m not sure what all the differences were. One was somehow ruffly.

Where did these waves originate? Perhaps different beings or …groups of beings? Maybe God him/herself? Maybe Lei Lei? …or the angels that I have connected with? Maybe ancestors? …or other Extra-terrestrial individuals or groups I have known before this life …or in dreamtime?

It’s all a mystery, a lovely one.

Profound Blessing for the month of May

by 8hummingbirdway

This channeled message was very moving and uplifting to me.

It’s about the transformation of humanity in a very specific way – the release of pain and suffering from the wars of our past …ALL the wars that humanity has engaged in during our history.

I could go on, but I will allow Lisa’s message to bring it all to you.

I feel compelled to share this good news. It may help you understand some of the intensity that you may be feeling recently and in the days ahead.
