Intimately Aligned

Featured

Part of being human is taking on the conditioning, rules, and roles of our caregivers and environment. We are taught to separate from our Essential Self (our true, authentic nature) at a young age. This is no one’s fault—it is how it works. Who we are at our core is pure, innocent, and whole.

Anything else is a lie.

Sure, you may have personality quirks and traits that are less savory. So what? You are human and might as well join the club with the rest of us. In addition to our humanity, we possess an inner God-gifted fountain of wisdom, strength, and power.

This blog speaks to navigating what it is to be human. I pray that Intimately Aligned makes you think, invites you to align with what’s right for you, and encourages you to take bold action from a new perspective. The action is what shifts your life.

The saying is pray AND move your feet. 😉

Pause and notice what’s going on inside your body. How’s your breath? Your heart rate? What other physical sensations are you noticing? Breathe and be with them. Keep breathing with them.

Whether this mini-practice irritates or resonates with you, I pray you find what is True for you. I trust in your path and journey. Do you?

Either way, I’ll be here devoted to God, sharing what is mine to speak to. I’m committed to BEing a conduit of fierce Love and support for every human I encounter who is open to that exchange. 

Cheers to being human in these times,
Judy

2021, you were a bitch, yet…

I wrote this on 01/01/2022. I trust that this timing, aligned with the beautiful Spring energy, will support those who need this message most.

2021 was an intense, internal, different year over here.

In the Spring of 2021, after feeling the call for several months, I listened and just stopped. I stopped listening to anyone/anything else except my internal guidance. I relaxed and just started being how I was, where I was, moment to moment, regardless of how the mind wanted it to be. I leaned into the inquiries:

  • When my life is not about this goal or achievement, who am I?
  • Can I be where I am now and feel fulfilled?
  • How much money do I really require to live a life I call successful?

I let go of all my ideas of what it looked like to have what I wanted. I stopped chasing life, money, clients, outcomes and told God:

“I’m ready. I’m listening. Pursue me. Open me, and show me what you want for me. Let life come and ravage me how it wants because what I’m doing isn’t working and I’m over it.”


What followed next was wholly unexpected. The list below illustrates just some of the themes that ravaged me for the year:

  • ego, identity, personality
  • suicide, death
  • family, home
  • cancer, illness, disease
  • love, marriage, partnership
  • time, physical reality, spiritual reality
  • money, success, integrity, values, wealth
  • unity consciousness, community, support

2021’s Wisdom Crash course?

Life keeps coming, and it’s not always a dream that feels good, flowy, warm, or creative. Life can be ruthless, brutal even. Indeed, some things are out of our control, will make zero sense, and will rock our worlds. Doesn’t matter the fuck-ton of spiritual practices and personal development one has done. Life gives every one of us multiple servings of shit sandwiches. No one is exempt; this is the human experience.

Trying to ignore and create on top of this is shaky ground. The foundation of anything is the one thing that matters. Time, death, and reality are ultimate, universal, and complex. These topics consist of fibers and layers woven across multiple concurrent timelines. There will be instances when no answer, explanation, or solution will feel good enough to soothe the human psyche – unless it’s rooted in God.

It is all God.


God is in motion, in everything ALWAYS. Personally, this is a solid foundation I have tested repeatedly. I tried to make this untrue. The results are undeniable: I have superpowers available at my disposal when God/my God-self is the foundation.

In mid-late December, I felt my way through layers and timelines of immense grief and fear of potentially losing a beloved family member. In that vulnerable, surrendered space, it all clicked:
~I am a woman who feels everything intensely, and I get to let it all come through me, keeping my heart, mind, body, and soul wide open to be ravaged by it all.
~I get to keep choosing me WHILE the shit sandwich is bestowed upon me.
~I don’t have to shut off, down, run, or stop moving towards what lights me up.
~I say who I am and if I wish to expand to hold it all, or if I wish to contract.

I’m ready for whatever life wants to give me and keep my heart open through it all. I know there will be times when the pain feels so intense my mind will ask me to shut down and run. My heart has been cracked open to new depths. Beliefs I carry about a lot of shit that just doesn’t fucking matter have been exposed and are lovingly being worked through. I’m here for it all because It Is All God.

2021 you were a bitch, yet you invited and held me as I answered the call to leap from girl to woman.
From the depths of my soul across all timelines: I honor you. I thank you. I love you, and I release you.

The Power of Self-Trust: Owning Your Truth in Love & Life

In both January and May of 2021, I moved locally. Had I listened to almost everyone else’s thoughts, I’d be a hot ass mess forcing my way into living with my beau. 🤮

I heard it all:
~How long have you been dating? 
~Why aren’t you moving in with him?
~You should live together before marriage! 
~You will save money!

Fortunately, at this point, I built up a level of trust in myself as the authority of my love life.

If there’s one rule I’ll ever preach, it’ll be this: Know Thyself. 

I knew I was not available to live with my man back then. It felt rushed and just off. I  was also a clear hell no to saving money as the driving factor for living with him.  I wasn’t interested in bringing that energy to myself, him, or us. 

There was an opportunity for me to be persuaded by others. My dear friends meant well, yet their views were their views; from their lens, based on their experiences, their thoughts, and their pasts.

I decided to trust myself, and I chose to live it. Exercising this level of faith in my instincts transformed me instantly into one who trusts herself. I didn’t want others’ opinions. I turned within and acted on my own guidance. I shared vulnerably & candidly with my beau on where I was.

This is the only way I care to live. Owning my truth and standing in it is who I am. It means more than words could convey. It is worth more than anyone could ever put a price on.

Think about that thing you are grappling with within a relationship (any relationship will do!) If you absolutely trusted yourself, what would be your next move?

Act on it.
Back yourself up.
BE the one who trusts self.

When the mind kicks on (and it will), back yourself up and BE the version of you that trusts yourself. You are so much more powerful than the habitual thought feed that cycles inside you. 🤍

When Fear Arises: Inviting Your Emotions In Instead of Pushing Them Away

When life is being lifey and threatens to take away something or someone you love fiercely it’s normal to feel anxiety and fear take up shop in your body. This *energy* is intense!

Perhaps you:
~curse it
~ignore it
~overanalyze it
~spew your energy onto anyone/anything else so you don’t have to be with it (ask me how I know 😂)

This causes distortion in your energetic field. You’re asking the anxiety and fear to be something it’s not. You’re asking yourself to be in a state you are not.

When you fear losing someone (or something) you love, the energy swirling in your body/energetic field needs permission to be exactly as it is in the moment.

After hundreds of sessions with clients (and thousands of sessions with myself), I’ve learned: *uncomfortable energy* is an opportunity to nurture the scared parts of self.

When the energy is tended to and acknowledged it has options.
It may:
~intensify for a short bit
~disappear altogether
~transform into something else
~pull up a chair and hang with you longer than you’d like
~deliver clear guidance
~something else entirely because I don’t have ALL the answers 😂

Invitations are ever-present in the human experience. When uncomfortable emotions come knocking, who will you be?

🤔Will you sit with this energy, breathe, and invite it in so it could offer something profound for you now?


🤔Will you contract, close, and shun the energy, thus re-activating the cycle of suppression and re-emergence at a later date?


Either way is doable.
Which timeline do you choose?

God’s Perfect Timing: Waking Up to the Magic of It All

As life calls me to wake up from my (almost) year of retreat, I’m tuning back into my goals, dreams, and navigating life from a new, solid foundation.

I’m present to the gift of the insanely loving and generous nature of God.

Creator I lined up exactly what I needed months before I even knew I would need support for the exact time I needed it, which is also my birthday week. 😆

Divine Intelligence blows me away and makes me giggle.

I’m in awe and feel comforted by All That Is.

I’m receiving what God always knew I needed and allowing myself to accept provision. Everything aligns in natural coherence and flow with His plan.

Grateful AF!
