When the Shift Arrives: A Message from Mugwort & Lavender

Sometimes there are pivotal moments in life — quiet, pressing thresholds that move us forward and backward at the same time. We are ushered inward, asked to pause, shed, and become something new before we can move on. These moments aren’t comfortable. They stretch us. They ask for patience when everything in us wants momentum.

This kind of change reminds me of a snake shedding its skin. You cannot rip the old layer away. The body must soften and release it in its own time. And sometimes, when the snake struggles, a gentle assist is needed — a bit of moisture, a bit of support — just enough to help without forcing.

We experience this too.

There are times when your energy has already arrived somewhere new, but your body and nervous system are still catching up. That in-between place can feel disorienting, even frustrating.

It’s here — at the very edge of transformation — that Mugwort and Lavender stepped forward.

I’ll admit, I didn’t expect them either.

So I sat. I listened. I let the herbs speak.

Mugwort came first — not to open gifts, not to push vision, but to purify and protect. Mugwort is clearing space now, removing energetic residue so what has already been developing beneath the surface can finally rise. Mugwort brings sight — not by forcing revelation, but by removing what clouds perception. It says:

Swift change is already in motion.

Lavender followed — not just with peace, but with breath. Lavender doesn’t demand calm; it restores it. It invites the exhale you’ve been holding for longer than you realized. It whispered :Breathe. You are safe to step forward.

Together, Mugwort and Lavender carry this message:

Swift changes are coming — and they bring light in unexpected ways

.

What once felt stalled is releasing. Momentum is returning. Life is picking back up — not as punishment, but as liberation.

If you’ve been struggling, know this: you are not being judged, corrected, or tested. The energy moving through now seeks justice, not retribution. It is here to sever what has quietly limited you, to dissolve what no longer belongs to your future.

Take one step. Then another.

Your sight is awakening — not just physical vision, but deep knowing. You are perceiving reality from a new vantage point now. This is a dimensional shift, subtle but profound. You crossed a threshold, and there is no going back — only forward, lighter.

You are closer than you think. You are at the finish line. Victory is not something you must chase — it is already aligning around you.

Let the herbs speak. Your body already knows what it needs; sometimes it simply takes a moment to catch up. You are allowed to take up space. You are allowed to heal at your own pace.

You are not alone in this awakening. Many are shedding old skins right now, stepping into new paradigms quietly and bravely.

Spirit has you.

The path is clear.

Step forward.
