What is trying to find you?

June’s collective body weather comes with marching bones, agitated waters, courage that subtly collapses before coming back together, and the feeling that something old may be nourishment for what's next.

Read on to feel into the month ahead and get a sense of which Embodied Realm might be asking for your attention—subtly or not.

Here’s a reference of each Realm before you keep going:

The Realm of Bone + Foundation: The energies you’ve inherited and built your life around. Bone holds both armature and marrow: your ancestral wounds, blessings, structures, and deepest foundations.

The Realm of Muscle, Connection + Relationship: The place where you shape your life through rupture and repair, resources and reciprocity, tension and support.

The Realm of Fluid + Spirit Movement: Your inner tides. The movement of spirit through the body, through rhythm, circulation, boundaries, habits, and the ways life carries you.

The Realm of Organ, Ecosystem + Emotion: A living ecosystem of interdependent parts. This Realm is where you explore belonging, emotional truth, responsibility, and your place within the greater whole.

The Realm of Nervous System + Soul Frequency: Your body’s communication conduit between instinct and soul intuition. This Realm reveals where survival patterns and deeper guidance come together or clash.

The Realm of DNA + Quantum: The bridge between micro and macro; your cellular inheritance and your place within the larger quantum field of existence, transformation, and possibility.

How to read your body weather

The readings below are what I see and translate from the collective body for the upcoming month. These are meant to be read as entertainment and for informational purposes. Depending on your relationship with each of these Realms, the forecasts may feel varying degrees of relatable or unattainable; just because they’re here doesn’t mean they’ll be the same amount of true for each of you.

I recommend grounding and connecting to your body before you read them. Notice the ones that make you lean forward, that feel like an opening, that encourage you to move towards them. Those are the Realms that are invitational this month.

The forecasts that feel discouraging to you, unattainable, difficult, or you turn away from or can’t remember reading even when you just finished: those may not be for you, or there may be deep resistance to them. That’s ok, no need to force them.

Move towards the invitation.

Bone Realm

The Bone Realm feels like it’s marching forward and digging with pick-axes. There’s a feeling of measured, strident activity, one foot in front of the other. I can almost hear a rhythmic song to keep the morale up as the hard work is done. There’s a feeling that this can be manifesting in one of two ways: on the one hand, the Bones are building towards a structured future that is supporting what’s coming for you. On the other hand, the bones may still be chained to the energetic grids you’ve outgrown, but they don’t know any different. So they continue to march in line with what is under your feet. You get to decide whether it’s marching and building towards a future you haven’t seen yet but can feel, or a past you’re still connected to and replicating again.

Muscle Realm

As I flip my vision to the Muscle Realm, I see an up-close view of peristalsis; the rhythmic contraction of the digestive system that moves food through the body. The digestive system is largely smooth muscle tissue, which holds the unconscious patterns in resource, connection, and relationship. It feels like it’s pushing hard this coming month, it’s trying to move through things you keep swallowing even though your body no longer wants them. It feels a little like Sisyphus pushing a boulder up the hill, but it’s your digestive system going “oh, fack, this again?!” and shoving it through. In June, I encourage you to take inventory of what you’re continuing to feed yourself (physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually) and see if it still agrees with you.

Fluid Realm

The Fluid Realm has a bit of a washing machine vibe for the upcoming month, but it’s stuck on agitate mode. Just sloshing back and forth over and over, like it’s trying to loosen something out of the Muscle or Organ Realms, like it’s trying to scrub something clean, but it doesn’t have the ability to scrub on its own. I’m also seeing a visual of Lady MacBeth in her famed “Out, damned spot! Out I say!” sleepwalking hallucination of blood on her hands because of her guilty conscience. Something in your Fluid Realm is acting out of guilt, and it’s showing up in your relationships, resources, or ability to be in community and ecosystem with others. June may be when some shame-work comes to the forefront for you, or self-forgiveness.

Organ Realm

The Organ Realm is showing itself to me like a fractal pattern, collapsing in on itself and then blooming anew, only to collapse another time. It feels like a longing for finding your place and community, but also a history of trying and failing in this regard. The Organ Realm is reminding you that first you need to orient to what you know is your place, your role, your orientation, and then find the others that naturally congregate around you or in spaces that support it. You may have been doing the inverse of that: finding a group and trying to fit into it (or with them) instead. This may look a lot different from how you thought it should; it may even have you questioning your old beliefs, morals, and ethics of alignment as you find your ecosystem of belonging.

Nervous System Realm

I’m immediately shown two images: one feels like your Nervous System Realm is in cat-mode, when the hair is all hiked up, back is rounded, tail is puffed, and it’s hissing. The nervous system feels like it’s making itself bigger in order to appear scary. Something feels threatening and for the first time in your life, you’re standing your ground. You’ve found the safety in your body in order to not freeze, flop, or fawn.

The second image is a complete collapse into shapelessness, into goo, into recovery-mode. The energy it took for you to stand your ground can be a little overwhelming the first few times you practice it, so make sure you have a safe place to temporarily melt after and release the charge you’ve been holding. You won’t stay like this for long, so be tender and compassionate with yourself in the momentary collapse.

DNA Realm

Your DNA Realm feels like it’s orbiting other galaxies; your quanta is ready to mingle with the particles of others. I see it almost like two galaxies passing through one another; a collision in one form, yet the space between means they move through seamlessly. There’s an exchange of ideas, energy, frequency that is coming for you that you can’t prepare yourself for, but it feels like a blessing; A transmission that you received because you allowed yourself to be where your body said to be, when your body said to be there. It may not make sense, but you’ve prepared yourself to receive what you need.

June is a threshold month in many ways

If you feel like you’re moving toward a future you can’t see clearly yet but can sense in your bones, are taking stock of not just what you’re feeding yourself but how much it actually nourishes you, orienting around a new pole of belonging within yourself and others, and opening up to ideas, energies, and dreams seeking to make contact with you in the quantum…pay attention.

You're meeting this threshold, and so am I. Tomorrow I’m opening a space for:

Resting and dreaming…

Painting with your imagination…

Connecting with your voice…

Listening to the visions of your ancestors…

Dancing with the oracular mystery of your body…and more.

May you notice what is trying to find you,
