Present Moment Guidance for the Life Experience You Deserve

Greetings Friends,

As September begins, I feel called to share a truth that came through in the simplest of moments: while applying moisturizer onto my skin, I realized how deeply important it is to offer peace to the body. Not just care, not just maintenance — but peace. A conscious act of love and presence with ourselves.

This reflection feels like a thread running through the past several weeks. My travels opened new landscapes within me as much as without, offering fresh perspective and deeper integration. Family gatherings, including another baby shower for my grandson arriving in November, also carried insight. They invited me to release what is no longer mine to carry while honoring boundaries — my own and those of others — with love and respect.

And then, on August 23, my heart expanded in the most extraordinary way. My granddaughter, Penelope, was born. Her early arrival was both a surprise and a blessing — a shimmering reminder that life moves in its own rhythm. Holding her in my awareness is to hold the purest reflection of joy, continuity, and the mystery of beginnings.

A few weeks earlier, the dove appeared — not alive, but on my doorstep in death. It was a powerful reminder that peace is not always soft and easy. Sometimes it comes through endings. Sometimes it calls us to draw a firm boundary, to let go, to acknowledge the closing of a cycle. The dove asked me to see that true peace is not only the gentle balm we offer ourselves, but also the clarity of knowing what must end so that something new can begin.

So as I step into September, I carry these insights: peace in the body, lessons from the road, clarity in family connection, the wisdom of choosing response over reaction, the deeper invitation of endings as thresholds — and the joy of Penelope’s beginning. My prayer is that these reflections ripple out to you — that you, too, may find gentle ways to honor your body, to integrate the gifts of your journey, and to allow both beginnings and endings to guide you toward a deeper calm.

I also recognize that this awareness is part of what I call understanding — or more truly, standing under. This phrase will flow more fully in the channeled message that follows, but for now, my hope is that the words and energy of this newsletter resonate with you in the ways you most need.

As always, I continue to pour these energies into my art. Both originals and prints are available, and some pieces are currently on display at Consignment House Gallery in Charlottesville, VA. You can also explore more of my work by clicking the link to Digitized Art below.

And finally, if this message touches you, I warmly invite you to share this newsletter with others who might also find resonance. The ripples of connection are part of how we grow together.

If you’d like to read more about the dove’s message, you can find the full transmission under the Channeled Messages tab on my website, thefigleaf.net. You can also click on the red "Read Past Messages" button below.

I have added a few more hypnotic guided healing meditations to my website. These are based on my own healing and transformation, and when I feel something that is subtle yet strong and powerful I record it and share it.

✨ And with all of this, I close with a blessing: may Penelope’s first breaths remind us all of the preciousness of life, the beauty of renewal, and the infinite ways love continues to be born in and through us.


In Peace and Understanding,

Valerie

September Transmission

Connected Awareness


September is a month of deep integration — of very high vibrational energies meeting the depths of your soul. At the same time, it is a period of soul-level, DNA-level releasing: old patterns, beliefs, and cultural or ancestral programming that have been woven in for lifetimes.


You have been moving through this process of evolution for years now. And in this moment, you are arriving at a level of connected awareness. This awareness is not only mental, but embodied. It allows you to truly understand — or as we like to say, to stand under.


To stand under is to allow yourself to be within the feeling nature of an experience, to rest beneath it long enough to receive the higher vibrational message it carries. Every feeling has a message. And when you stand under it, you open to the deeper meaning that wants to be revealed.


This month, as you release what is no longer yours to carry — whether personal, cultural, or ancestral — you clear the way for a more palpable connection with your own Higher Self. Here, within you, lives your inner Angel of Wisdom & Knowledge. And it is through this connection that you integrate the continuum of who you have always been with who you are becoming.


There is an activation we offer you now.


Breathe in the energy and light available to you in this present moment. Make the conscious choice to connect here and now, opening your awareness to what is arising.

As you inhale deeply, notice without judgment every thought, feeling, and sensation.

And then, instead of pushing the feeling away or trying to “figure it out,” practice standing under it:

Imagine yourself gently stepping beneath the feeling, as if you are standing under a waterfall of energy.



~Allow the sensation, emotion, or thought to flow over and through you.



~Rest beneath it long enough to sense its message, even if the message is subtle.



As you exhale, release what no longer serves your spiritual, mental, and emotional growth. Allow it to leave your energy field with ease.


In this way, every breath becomes an act of understanding — of standing under what is present — so the higher vibrational message can reveal itself.


The past months have, in a sense, compressed the spiral of time — bringing you repeated opportunities to revisit old patterns, programs, and karmic connections. This path is not accidental. You chose it — along with those walking beside you — so that together, you could be free of oppression and return to your natural state of Being.


Some of you chose very challenging chapters, while others chose relative ease. Together, this creates balance: the yin and yang of being embodied on Earth. We have said before that living on Earth is akin to receiving your Master’s Degree. You are on your way to Mastery — to a connected, conscious awareness of your Source intelligence and divine consciousness.


What a beautiful gift you have given yourselves: this human experience. And we do not speak only of this one lifetime. Across many existences, on Earth and Earth-like worlds, you have experienced it all. In doing so, you have enriched your soul’s continuum beyond measure.


The next years will bring many changes. Within the next 20 years, those changes will take root, and you will find yourselves living upon a very different version of Earth.


Of the many changes unfolding, one of the most profound is a deepening awareness of “from whence you came.” You did not originate in physical form on Earth. You are your own ancestors as well as your own “future” versions of yourself.

All of time is happening now — the spiral contracting and expanding around you. The more you evolve, shedding the old energies that cocooned you in limiting beliefs, the more you become aware of your multidimensional existences. Many of these existences are in what you perceive as the “future.”


What does this mean for you? In the next decades of Earth time, you will have the opportunity to meet what you call non-Earth beings, as well as to discover new ways of coexisting with your planet and all who share this space with you. Some may even meet “future” versions of themselves. Your growing sense of connected awareness makes this possible, because you understand that you are all here to grow, to help each other — for you are each other.


There is only Source. And you are that.


In the coming years, much will be revealed about what you call the universe — and much of it is already coming to light. Physics, science, and spirituality are truly intertwined. Separation, or the sense of it as something negative, will fade into the past.



So breathe deeply. Recognize your brilliance, your vast capacity to love. We see you always through the lens of unconditional love and acceptance, and with every step you take, we rejoice with you and for you.


Until next time we leave you with this reminder:

​​The sun is not only your source of light — it is a living presence, reminding you that renewal is always possible. Each day it rises, offering rhythm, warmth, and the subtle frequencies that invite you to shed what no longer serves and to grow into greater wholeness.

Just as it nourishes the earth into blossom, it nourishes you. Its solar currents move through your cells and your consciousness, awakening deeper layers of remembrance, understanding, and peace within the body.



This Month's Akashic Record and Light Symbol Oracle Cards

Continuum and Angel of Wisdom and Knowledge


Continuum


This card reminds us that life is never about isolated events, but about flow. Continuum is the space where past, present, and future all meet in a seamless thread. For September, this energy speaks of integration: everything you have lived through in recent months is not separate from where you are now — it is woven into your becoming. Continuum invites you to honor the ongoing story, not rushing to resolve or label, but letting yourself be part of the larger movement of your life.


Trust the flow of your unfolding. What feels unfinished is simply part of a greater continuum.


Angel of Wisdom & Knowledge


This card brings the reminder that deep wisdom is always accessible when we slow down and listen. It suggests that September holds opportunities for insight — not just intellectual knowledge, but soul-level understanding. The Angel of Wisdom & Knowledge helps you see patterns, lessons, and truths that may have been hidden before. It also affirms that what you’ve moved through — the intensity of August, personal, local and world events — all contain wisdom ready to be integrated.


You are supported in seeing clearly, understanding deeply, and carrying forward the wisdom that has been gifted to you.


Combined Interpretation for September


Together, these cards suggest that September is a month of integration and embodied wisdom. You are being asked to step into the role of witness — recognizing that everything you’ve experienced is part of a larger continuum, and that you already carry the wisdom needed to navigate what lies ahead. Rather than striving for completion or resolution, this month is about staying in the flow and trusting that clarity will come when it is ready.


Much Love,

Valerie
