Be the Light
Let’s just get right into it, shall we? Below are the 6 areas of life which I see as being pivotal in 2026 to our evolution as a species. By being aware of these undercurrents, we can be better poised to face and ride the rather large waves that will rise frequently and threaten to take us under.
Not to scare anyone, but 2026 will be a year of pressure. The pressure is necessary. No diamond is ever formed without pressure. Actually, you are already that diamond. You always have been, but the pressure is needed to break the exterior, egoic hardness that has encased and contained your Pure Light.
The Task of Harmonizing
We are in what some refer to as The Great Change. When it comes to our personas, there will be those who want the old world order to survive, who will exert more control and chaos vs. those who recognize we must move foreward, who will exert an urgent speed and their own brand of chaos. Either way, I’m sorry to say, there will be the appearance of chaos…an appearance that feels very real to the characters we play.
It is often said that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. This to me always seemed to dismiss in some way the very real challenges of the human. We are both human and Divine, not either or. Though you may appear as the wave, you are really the whole ocean. But while the wave is waving, it is fully experiencing that…even if in the end, it was only a dream.
Our task is one of harmonizing ourselves with what lies outside duality. Play the role you must play but remember your True Nature. We actually must have a foot in both worlds, solidly. The more of us who do, the less chaos there will be, each serving as a bridge across what so many think is an unbreachable divide.
Reclaiming Money
Here’s what I’ve been learning about money since 2024, when one of my commitments to myself was to break the scarcity mindset that ran through my ancestral line: the system is rigged. The world of finance is one of secrets, power plays, and traps. The problem is, very few people are aware of the ins and outs of finance…even many of those within it. We trust financial advisors just as we trust our doctors. But who taught them?
In 2025’s report, one of the Selfcare Energy Report suggestions was to invest for abundance. If you didn’t take the hint, there may still be time to start coming to terms with the changes taking place across the world and to choose whether you will subject yourself to certain control systems being put into place, will be the victim of AI changes (more on that next), or whether you will rise in sovereignty.
Take time in 2026 to learn about the history of money, the systems that were built up around it, and what makes a true medium of exchange or store of value. Most importantly, educate yourself about fiat and what happens to it over time again and again. Don’t let yourself be victimized one more year of your life by neglecting or abdicating your financial situation. Even money can be rescued from the taint of desecration.
If you’d like to find out more about how I’ve broken ancestral scarcity patterning, I’m currently writing a workbook, Healing Scarcity & Embracing Sovereignty in the New Economy and hope to have it finished early in 2026. Join the mailing list (in footer) and stay tuned!
AI
AI can be a wonderful tool. I use it to assist me with my blog posts (although not this one). I like to make a distinction between what I create and what AI creates lest I lose a sense of distinction between my own creative efforts and abilities and those manufactured (however brilliantly) by AI. We can either surrender and lose our humanity to AI or work to understand and cultivate that humanity. It is most critical that we honor and love what is human now more than ever or we may lose much of our as yet untapped potential as human.
There’s so much fear associated with AI. And there’s no question it can and will be used in unscrupulous ways when it serves those who benefit. But it can also be an incredible boon to life on earth and human advances in medical science, education, and so many other areas. It comes down to us…what we allow, what we believe, and how much of our uniqueness as humans we give away as well as the systems we put in place to regulate it. We can’t wait for current leadership to regulate it for us; we must regulate ouruse of it ourselves.
If you use AI for your creative projects, own up to it outright. Disclaim what might be construed as coming from you if it has not. And be highly skeptical of what is produced by others that may actually have been solely created by AI. Don’t be seduced by using AI for anything that relies on human qualities such as friendship, romance, therapy, or spiritual guidance and wisdom. If you refer to it for feedback or inspiration, don’t lose your own ability to discern the truth.
Grief & Exhaustion
Many of you may already have been going through loss and therefore grief in these post pandemic years. Others will just be starting to more fully engage with such feelings as regret, sorrow, and inexplicable mourning. It isn’t easy, but grief helps us become more humble and honest. The tenderness of grief, if we allow ourselves to feel it, makes us more compassionate.
Such heavy energies will require more time for tender acts of selfcare and plenty of rest. We cannot afford to treat selfcare as something we suddenly realize we’ve been neglecting. We must have practices well in place (breathwork, movement, energy work, visualization, meditation, journaling, emotional hygeine techniques) to support us on a daily basis. Those selfcare practices we put in place will be essential to our ability to adapt to the ferocity of change. We’re going to need to be very resilient in 2026 and going forward. We must step up.
Relating
When we think of relationships, we often think of people. But relating is how we treat, interact with and react to everything, even ourselves, and not just with people. I might revisit that aspect of this theme in a future alignment.
For now, in terms of “peopling”, 2026 is going to be calling us to find or be comfortable with new, higher ways of connecting and engaging with others simply because the old ways will feel more and more stale and unfulfilling. The old ways include small talk, gossip, competition, lots of noise, “going along with the crowd”, and unsolicited advice-giving.
New ways will require more vulnerability and smaller or online gatherings and might include deep listening, eye gazing, silence, and acts of cooperation and shared intending. Through this, whether in person or online, we’ll begin to understand the true interconnectedness of us all and open pathways to deeper forms of communciation and unity.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
The above prayer by St. Francis of Assisi has endured throughout the years. It recognizes certain truths about why we are here. In 2026, however, the simplicity and purity of this prayer has a greater gravitas in a world so very out of balance, in which self-concern and self-serving has taken center stage. We all have a roll to play in correcting that balance. It isn’t enough to recite the prayer; we have to live it. It all comes back to being the Light.
As you may already know, I am making 2026 a commitment to deep healing and knowing True Self and have invited you all along for the journey through my monthy Alignments Live offerings. Would you like to join me?
