We open into a vast energetic field of possibility freed from all constraints. With veils lifted and walls broken down, we are elevated into our highest form of effortless action. Reaping rewards and redemption, we see who we are and who we have become in the mandala of our making. And we celebrate it. This truest alignment does not last forever – so when we are delivered into this freedom we expand in the moment and bask in every bit of it.
