Hi Open and fellow Openhanders.

I wanted to share some reflections and experiences below and would welcome feedback.

On new years day I felt what I could only describe as a build-up and a feeling of anticipation & a sense of something big coming. What I now realise is that I was likely sensing Avalonia coming in, or perhaps the after-effects of that.

I also had an image of machu picchu during an evening chakra attuning meditation and woke the next morning to the news of the tsunami hitting Peru. Understanding what the tsunami represented (and its location) with Gaia 'falling off a log' is so helpful to make sense of such imagery, and knowing that I'm tuning in, even in a very small way, gives me hope that I can tune in deeper at some point.

As with other openhanders I have felt a lot of nausea which has been mostly concentrated in the solar plexus, and some in the throat. When this was very strong, the word 'processing' was very strong and seemed to keep repeating. I would have expected the nausea to have been concentrated in the sacral chakra but I think there's more of a block there right now, which makes sense after understanding what's happened with Gaia's soul contracts.

I do want to share an experience I had a few days ago. I was reading your response (Open) to a comment regarding Gaia having moved into the 4D angelic realm when I felt Avalonia reach out to me. It was unmistakable. It was almost like she was saying hello. I felt energy go through my body from my feet up to the crown. The interaction didn't last for long, no more than a minute or so, and then she was gone from my field. The sense of her energy was in one word: Fast. I couldn't sit still after experiencing that energy and have felt like that a lot more frequently since. Whenever I connected with Gaia, I always felt her under my feet, and although the interaction with Avalonia started at the feet, I could feel her all around me and she had a much stronger prescence. I did feel myself wanting a longer interaction but after understanding more about her at the ascension exchanges today (and now myself as well), I realise I need to just appreciate any interaction without calling on her for more.

On a final note, my Sirius karma came up again a few days ago and felt this was reflected in the Sirius discussion in the ascension exchanges today. I have a feeling this will come up at the next retreat and I'm ready to work with it, as difficult as I sense it will be.

Much love

Nikki 🙏
