It seems for many of us lately that the Ascension process is gaining in both intensity and speed. Especially since the beginning of 2016, there have definitely been new Ascension energies flooding in, giving us an experience of transitioning that is more pronounced than before.
And the energies have a different flavor from what we’ve experienced in the last few years. They’re hard to describe. In one way, there seems to be a firmer push with them. We’re being compelled to move forward somewhat faster now, whether we feel ready to or not.
There’s also a demand to be ever-more vigilant about what we think and do and to see what we are creating for ourselves. The energies are affecting—and, at times, disrupting—our lives more than before. There’s no ignoring them any more.
Stepping into a New Chapter in Life
For some, I’ve noticed, a whole new chapter of life has recently opened up. It’s as if they’ve stepped through a portal and are in the process of leaving an entire way of life behind them, along with an identity they’ve played out for most of their adult lives.
For these it is generally a very exciting time. There’s an exhilarating freedom they’re experiencing and, at times, an expansive joy that wafts through their being. New vistas are opening up, promising new adventure, greater creative expression, and deeper fulfillment.
Yet, at the same time, they are also feeling a sense of being somewhat “untethered” and disoriented, which can bring in a sense of anxiety. Old reference points are disappearing, leaving them feeling unable to describe their lives—or even themselves—anymore in a familiar way.
Changing Identities
For many of these people, old karmic bonds with other people have either loosened or completely disappeared. They can no longer attach their identity to being someone in a certain relationship anymore.
Either their partner relationship has broken up, their children or relatives are no longer people they really relate to anymore, or close loved ones have died. However it’s happened, they now sense themselves as relatively unattached beings in a world that seems to no longer be familiar to them.
Others who have recently stepped into a new chapter in their life are those who have either retired, lost their job, or found they could no longer stay at work they’ve never liked to begin with. Or perhaps they’re someone who has recently found that a passion they’ve had for a long time now feels flat and they can no longer attach their sense of identity to it.
Spiritual Missions Opening Up
Something foundational has altered for these who are finding themselves walking into something brand new in their lives. It’s somehow changed them more deeply than if the physical changes in circumstances they’re experiencing had happened in the past.
It’s as if something within them is now saying, “Okay, now get ready. You’re about to embark on what you’re really here to do this lifetime.”
There’s a wind gathering behind them, getting ready to propel them into a future that feels completely unknown. And there’s no way to ignore it or move out of its way. What holds them steady at this point is realizing that their spiritual mission may be about to fully flower into a more expansive expression.
It seems as if they’ve been given a certain amount of grace time to completely shed their old identities before moving into this new chapter of their life. But they likely won’t be given a great deal of time for this, as the new energy is very present with them, waiting in the wings with its sense of excited impatience.
3D Templates Emerging
For others, the Ascension energies since the beginning of the year (and perhaps starting at the end of last year), have been intense in a different way. It’s as if full “templates” of the core 3D programmings that have run them their entire life are finally surfacing. And all the emotions, misguided beliefs, thoughts, and habit patterns attached to the template are up for experiencing in an exaggerated way.
For some, this template could be called “Failure to Thrive”. It’s as if all experiences in the past around a certain theme that have limited and traumatized them are now back to be re-experienced—but in an a more intense fashion. If it’s a struggle about having enough money, this is what is now happening in spades. If it’s chronic health problems, these are showing up, one after another. If it’s relationship difficulties, that’s what they’re now feeling caught in.
Or the template could be called “Depression” or “Anxiety” or “Lonely”. Or combinations of all of these and more. There are many different 3D templates we all took on this time to live with and learn from. And it seems that now it is truly time to see these clearly—and hopefully for the last time. And then it’s time to move out of judgment of ourselves for experiencing them and allow them to release.
Letting Go of the 3D Templates
Of course, this is easier said than done. It’s not a simple matter to let go of a pattern that has been deeply embedded in our experience over a lifetime (and sometimes lifetimes). Often we have not even been fully aware of it till now. And at times, it can seem as if the template has such a firm grip on us, we may never be able to wrench ourselves free of it.
It appears to take some time to shake these templates loose and allow them to release. Even if they do seem to be finally breaking apart in preparation for release, we’re dealing with their pieces flying around in our fields for a period of time. It can be very disorienting, as well as challenging.
Cooperating with the Ascension Energies
As with those who are currently experiencing a firmer push into unknown territory, those having this experience of facing core 3D emotional patterns do well to understand that all of these experiences are part of the Ascension process.
Whatever is not resonating with fifth-dimensional energy cannot be taken with us to that higher dimension. We must let it go and keep moving forward into the next experience. At times, this requires a great deal of trust and a willingness to move out of our comfort zones.
Once we can do this, it can be amazingly exciting to watch and anticipate whatever may be next coming toward us in life, knowing that it is coming in order to lift us yet further into a higher vibration.
The positive and freeing purpose of certain experiences are certainly not clear at times until we’ve made our way through them. But if we look closely, we can see that everything—absolutely everything—is happening for our Ascension in as expedient a way as possible. We just need to trust this and cooperate the best way we can, so that we are skillfully and trustingly riding the Ascension energies as they flow in, rather than resisting them.
Vidya, thank you so much for this article. It helps to bring a sense of closure to our meeting a few days ago. I am beginning to feel a little more at home with what is happening to me. Blessings. Laurie ingebritsen
Wonderful to hear, Laurie! love, Vidya
Hi Vidya, wonderful information, as always. I have been in bliss for a few weeks now. A couple of deep emotional releases with old hurts that I was able to move through by seeing that it was my perception that was solid in a belief. I have even letting go of tools and discernments that once helped me in exchange for showing up raw. The same tools and discernments that where employed to navigate around a point of view that was less than unconditional love are freeing me from form. Thanks for being the light that you are. Much love. Carmen Hironimus
Carmen — Such a beautiful report! And so well-expressed. It’s so important to see our core beliefs that limit us, as well as our old tools that no longer work in the highest vibration possible. So happy for you! Love, Vidya
Thank you! Planning on coming to Butte County soon? I would love to see you.
Unfortunately, not in the near future. It would be great to see you too!
Completely in my heart center !!!
I am experiencing a vital change. I love my husband, but not in love. We live like brother and sister. I am about to end my 25 year marriage. On paper I have it all. But my heart yearns for something deeper. Many coincidences have been occurring . Most likely not coincidences at all but fate interactions. By shear luck I met someone in the Uk. Then an opportunity was presented to travel to an event an hour away form him. He came to the event with me in spite of having a girlfriend . We then spent a few days together. No lines were crossed . We have the same moral compass. It feels like we are meant to be together. Very difficult situation. He has feelings for me but has stopped expressing them. I hope my shift opens the door for us.
Thank you so much, Vidya! Loving my journey! Yes, I’m feeling the ‘push’ and I sure am co-operating!
Hello Vidya, I stumbled on your website today and, boy, what a relief! Thank you! I have just read ‘Ascension energies ramping up’ and I feel you were writing about me! I feel compelled to write to you for I feel very ungrounded and lost at sea.
I live in Australia and earlier this year I heard an indigenous man speak of the Dreaming and how it runs in cycles and a new cycle has begun and it is about Unity and Healing and of black and white coming together. His words were like gold to me, an answer to my prayers. This man gave me a flyer for a Healing Camp being held in Central Australia in September this year, by the Arrente, the Aboriginal people of the area. As I read it, although it was to be held 2000 k’s away, I knew I MUST attend, and so I did.
I have never felt so relaxed, happy and utterly free to be exactly as I am. Amongst the Aboriginal elders and medicine men I felt in my bones that, finally, I had met my equals in society, although I feel very presumptuous to say that, but thats how I felt, and I was able to communicate telepathically with them, or they with me, at least! Amongst my fellow whitemen at the camp, I felt I had found my family, my tribe, I was home at last. I experienced a sense of recognition en masse with so many people it was beyond anything I have known and I realized then just how hungry my soul was for both of those experiences.
I felt everyone present were healers, myself included. I have no idea what my gifts are but I felt confident I was sharing them just by being myself. There was much talk of a new reality being born and I feel wholly committed to helping to bring it about. My soul almost weeps with relief that this is to be a reality and no longer a personal dream.
I am home now, back in the land of the half-living, making plans to move back to the Central Desert where I felt so resonant and alive. I feel incredibly ungrounded. I wonder if I dreamt the whole experience.
I feel I have come ahead in leaps and bounds regarding healing the past in recent years and now a new vista has opened to me.
I want to identify more with my spiritual self rather than my personality. I want to BE my spiritual self. But how? I have committed to practicing long-distance Reiki as a daily spiritual practice and I have started to invoke the assistance of the White Brotherhood with whom I feel an affinity, but how to ground myself? How to feel rooted in the Earth as I experience this latest shift which now has me feeling dreamy and scattered and fearing I am living in a fantasy land.
– How to ground myself AND be more my spiritual self simultaneously???
I would appreciate your advice.
Kind regards and heartfelt thanks,
Bree
Hello Bree — What a wonderful story of how you found your “tribe”. And I hear you about feeling ungrounded. When we move through these Ascension “leaps” that happen from time to time, we can really feel untethered, floating out in thin air, without anything solid beneath our feet for a while. It can be uncomfortable and somewhat scary. First, perhaps you can inwardly call on the Elders you are now consciously connected to and ask them for help. Be open to their counsel and follow it. They are undoubtedly with you and are guiding you.
Secondly, you can ground yourself by visualizing a grounding cord that extends from your perineum or your tail bone down into the center of the Earth–just see it, feel it, and it will appear and help you feel more solidly connected to the Earth. And thirdly, do your best to keep focused in the moment and to stay connected to what is happening in your body. When spiritual openings occur, it can be our tendency to float out and away from the body. Much love to you on your journey. — Vidya
Dear Vidya,
I had an intuition today after reflecting on your wisdom and everything that is going on in the world right now. I suddenly understood that God is a 3D construct. A part of the matrix illusion created by men in order to control and exploit their fellow humans, nature, etc. How could a divine being have any connection to the prayers of hateful people who kill, lie and steal. I came upon a strong realization that we are the only gods. Each of us, what we pray to is our own collective human Self and depending upon how much our intention resonates with the rest of the human egoic mind, it is answered, or not. I no longer believe there is a God overarching human affairs who answers prays and fulfills promises. We are in this 3D by ourselves and divinity stands OUTSIDE of it. In order to know the divine we must exit the matrix.

p.s. Or perhaps a true communion with the divine is a portal out of 3D?
