Freedom: Intrinsic Energy Work™ for July 2021
I always like to focus on Freedom in July. In the U.S. the 4th is synonymous with Freedom, but what is Freedom and how do we truly have it?
So much of our lives are controlled, be it consciously, unconsciously, obviously or overtly.
We may think we have Freedom, but do we really?
So in July, we focus on exploring the Intrinsic Energy™ of Freedom: what is it, where does it come from, and can we have it if no one wants to give it to us? Where does the Spiritual essence of Freedom live?
This month we also have a Universal 3 energy to explore, the Intrinsic Energies™ of Cancer, and an opportunity to see what the Intrinsic Energies™ of Artemis can offer us. And of course our Moon Work.
In my Intrinsic Energy Work™, we use the energies of the moment to accelerate our growth, deepen our healing, and step into the full expression of who we are. It is this deeper learning and healing that facilitates our conscious and Spiritual growth.
Diving into the energies of the moment isn’t necessary to do your work, but they help you focus your efforts, and when you tap into what is present, it makes your work easier and more consistent.
So not necessary, but deeper.
July’s Intrinsic Energies™
This month we will be focusing on these Intrinsic Energies™ associate with July.

Knowledge is Power. Action is Empowerment
I always say ‘Knowledge is power. Action is empowerment. And here’s what I mean by that.
If you read your horoscope, it gives you information but it doesn’t help you with your learning, healing, and growing. It gives you insight. It *may* give you direction, but that’s about where that knowledge takes you.
Intrinsic Energy Work™ gives you tools that help you take that knowledge and use it to further your healing which in turn helps you deepen your growth.

How to Ues the Intrinsic Energies™ of July 2021
Let’s see how you can use the Intrinsic Energies™ of July to accelerate your growth & deepen your healing!
Monthly Theme: Freedom
This month we turn our Intrinsic Energy™ exploration to the energies of Freedom.
As an American, I often find myself thinking about Freedom when we hit July, so that’s why I often focus on Freedom throughout the month.
There is a lot to explore this month.
We are exploring Freedom as it pertains to our individual healing & growth.
Here are some things to consider:
What does freedom mean to you? Be as detailed as you can be.
Where does freedom come from?
Is total freedom possible? Or desirable?
Do you have Freedom? Where? In What Way?
If you don’t, what contributes to your lack of Freedom? If you do, what contributes to it?
What can be healed, released, or cleared?
What patterns can be broken? (Oftentimes we can start the process of change in our physical experience by working the Intrinsic Energies™ first.)
How can you be the root of your own freedom?
What would that look like?
See – so much to explore here.
Remember when we are exploring, we are looking at it as Intrinsic Energy.™ Although you are welcome to sit and think about these questions, you will gain much more if you move into your Intrinsic Energy Work™ space and look at the energy, and then clear what you can.
If you’d like to explore the Intrinsic Energies™ of the month, be sure to join my monthly membership, The Spiritual Seeker’s Collective, where we accelerate our growth, deepen our healing, and expand our Spiritual Presence by utilizing the Intrinsic Energies™ of each month. This is an experiential learning & growth space using Intrinsic Energy Work™ led by me.
UNIVERSAL 3
In numerology, July 2021 is a Universal 3 month (7+2+0+2+1=12 = 1+2 = 3.)
In its positive aspects, Universal 3 indicates the beginning of growth, creativity, curiosity, the expression and the development of energy, as well as giving spirituality and optimism. astrologyonline.eu
This July is a Universal 3 and there are some really good Intrinsic Energies™ to tap into.
I especially like how Universal 3 is described as the beginning of growth, there is so much we can do with that!
Let’s explore how you can use the Universal 3 Intrinsic Energy™ this month.
Using the Universal 3 Intrinsic Energy™
Beginning of Growth
What new beginnings of growth do you want to launch this month?
Maybe you want to deepen your personal growth and development (you’re in the right place if you do…reach out for a Take-a-Step-With-Me call,) learn a new language, or evolve your communication skills.
Spend a little time reflecting on what new growth you want to start, but more importantly, why. What will this new growth bring you, offer you, create for you, or change for you?
Remember, starting new growth may begin as an idea, but if you don’t actually take steps to begin, you aren’t actually beginning.
The Expression & Development of Energy
What a perfect time to delve into the notion that everything is energy.
Are you up for an Intrinsic Energy™ Inventory?
Inventory the following for two weeks. Then review the information based on what lifts you vs what brings you down and make any necessary adjustments.
Food, Relationships, Television/Media, Work, Environment, Thoughts, Emotions
Where do you spend your time?
Who do you spend your time with?
What do you allow yourself (or don’t)?
How do you support yourself?
Who else supports you?
What do you give?
What do you receive?
For a guided Inventory Process, download my Intrinsic Energy™ Inventory workbook.
Plus 5!
Also, remember that 2021 is a 5 year that is about change and laying strong foundations.
Consider what foundation or building block the beginning of growth and energy inventories can bring to your life.
Cancer INTRINSIC ENERGY™
Cancer – Positive Intrinsic Energy™
Creative
This month is the perfect time to be creative.
If you are already creative, consider how you can use this month’s Intrinsic Energies™ to deepen your creativity. Is there an area of creative growth (see Universal 3 Intrinsic Energies™) you’d like to explore? A door you want to open?
If you don’t consider yourself creative, pick something you’d like to explore. Maybe it is cooking or doodling or writing (there are so many forms of writing from journaling to writing haikus,) or taking a drawing class.
Remember tapping into creativity doesn’t mean you have to be talented, creativity is a means of expression. It’s a means of getting energy to flow. Creative energy mirrors our ability to manifest. For creativity, we take a thought or something we see, and move it through our hands, our voice, and express it out into the world in some form. When we manifest it follows a similar path.
So whether you consider yourself ‘talented’ or not isn’t the point, it’s whether you enjoy what you are doing that matters. It is the process of moving energy and turning energy from one form into another that is important.
Loving
There are many ways you can incorporate Loving into your personal growth & development work this month.
Focus on speaking from a more loving place.
Be more loving to yourself.
Which could look like identifying where you are hard on yourself and picking apart why, and then letting those energies go.
Be less critical or judging, even if you don’t agree.
Try to see the light in everyone and everything.
Cancer– Intrinsic Energy™ Healing & Growth Opportunities
Pessimistic
Pessimism is the belief that bad things will happen. Unlike negativity, which can be a genetic disposition, pessimism is developed or acquired typically after a bad or traumatic experience, such as a bad breakup, a sudden loss, or a negative life-changing experience.
Pessimists see adversity as a constant and carry the belief that nothing with change, everything is bad, and nothing lasts.
Pessimism is a negative trait of Cancer so, during this month, you want to be on the lookout for a heightened sense of pessimism, whether it’s your norm or not, and do your best to step out of that pessimistic viewpoint.
Here’s something to try when you have pessimistic thoughts:
Use one of my favorite tools – the Mindful Check-In and do this:
Identify the thought
Ask yourself where that thought is emanating from (mind, emotions, ego?)
Once you identify the where identify what is underneath the thought. Fear? Doubt? Lack?
Then check in again and see if things feel different.
One of the tenets of Intrinsic Energy Work™ is this: once you see something, it changes. So when you take the time to check in on what you are experiencing and use the process above, by the end of the process, the thought or experience is automatically different, because you saw it, acknowledged it, and looked at it.
Overemotional
Cancer energy can be identified as being overemotional, but I see that as using one’s clairsentience in an out-of-control way.
Your clairsentience is connected to your emotional body and your second chakra.
Clairsentience is the ability to gather information by feeling or through feeling.
It is often equated to a gut felling or intuition or a sense.
Empaths use their clairsentience to gather information.
A good number of humans currently living are unconscious empaths, which in turn makes each and every one an out-of-control empath and healer.
When Clairsentience is used unconsciously (without skill, without tools like grounding and boundaries,) people take on the pain of others, get into other people’s business, and believe they need to intervene in another’s lessons.
All of this lends to being overemotional.
If you want to work on oversensitivity this month give this a try:
Step into your Intrinsic Energy™ Daily Practice space. (Still don’t have your DP space? Come on!)
Use an energetic magnet or energetic vacuum cleaner and
pull out the Intrinsic Energies™ you have gathered by being empathic
clear out the pain of others
the fear of others
the anger of others
the wounding of others
Fill in with an energy of your choice (joy, love, self-love, self-validation, etc.)
Practice clearing out your space once a day for the whole month.
Circle back and let me know what you notice!
MOON WORK
If you work with me in the Spiritual Seeker’s Collective you know how powerful the Moon work is and how much I love using the phases of the move to support healing and growth. I look at the astrological sign each Moon aspect is in and use that information to guide the Intrinsic Energy Work™ we do. This provides another powerful container that focuses your work and helps accelerate your growth and deepen your healing.
Where most people see the Dark Moon as the New Moon (when there is no moon in the sky,) I follow the old ways. The Dark Moon has three stages – each of which occurs when there is no moon in the sky. The New Moon follows as the first sliver of waxing crescent appears.
There are three phases of the Dark Moon: Review & Reflect, Clear Debts & Patterns, Cultivate
Dark Moon Phase 1 – July 8, 2021 – Gemini
Review & Reflect
This month’s Dark Moon I is in Gemini.
Review any themes this past month that had to do with versatility, enthusiasm, indecisiveness, and impulsivity.
Reflect on this information
Clear out anything that is ready to go using your Daily Practice space and Intrinsic Energy™ tools.
Review your New Moon Manifestation list.
Review your list
Celebrate what came in!
Cross off what you don’t want or need anymore
Dark Moon Phase 2- July 9, 2021 – Cancer
Clean up both energetic & actual debts.
Debts
Reflect on the question and how you may carry this as a debt – then release the energy around it.
Where have your insecurities led to suspiciousness and how or what debts has that created? (Be sure to check in because sometimes suspiciousness is warranted – check where it’s coming from before assigning it to the unwanted bin. If you have DP space, use your IEW tools to look at this from a neutral space. This is not mental bodywork, the energy won’t lie to you if you look at it from neutrality.)
Where has pessimism stopped you from living your life? How or has that created a debt to yourself?
Where has your over emotionalism stripped away your joy? How or has that created a debt to yourself?
Also clean up actual debts – return things borrowed, pay back what is owed, apologize if need be.
Patterns
The second Dark Moon phase is the perfect time to step out of the Intrinsic Energy™ patterns that keep you locked in old behaviors.
Reflect on these questions
How and in what way is pessimism a pattern in your life?
How and in what way is being overemotional a pattern?
Try this:
Step into your Intrinsic Energy Work™ space (don’t have one yet, start here)
Put a picture of you (amorphic shape will do) standing in the energetic pattern.
See the image of you step out of the energetic pattern.
Reset your space with what you want in place of the pattern.
Dark Moon Phase 3 – July 10, 2021 – Cancer
Cultivate
The third phase of the Dark Moon is to cultivate and prepare for planting your intentions during the New Moon.
I always use the Intrinsic Energy™ of this Dark Moon phase to enhance the cultivation and preparation. In this case, the phase is in Cancer and so you can use its intrinsic energy™ and qualities of creativity, spontaneity, and love to prepare your Manifestation space for the next day.
When setting out intentions this month, you want them to grow out of alignment with what will support you at your highest vibration.
In manifestation work, I use a piece of rich soil to plant the seeds of what I want to create.
To cultivate & prepare do this:
Step into your Intrinsic Energy Work™ space (don’t have one yet, start here)
Put your manifestation garden out in front of you.
Infuse the soil with creativity, spontaneity, and love.
Hand it to your Spirit so that you can call it back tomorrow.
New Moon – July 11, 2021 – Leo
The New Moon is one of several New Beginnings we can tap into throughout the year. Isn’t great we have so many opportunities to express our desires and set out our intentions for what we want?
Leo brings an energy of helpfulness, optimism, and straightforwardness.
As you identify what you want to set out on your manifestation list for this month, be sure to include some/any of the following
The support for what you want. (who, what, how?)
Help in creating what you want. (who, what, how?)
Something luxurious
Increased confidence
New Moons are for setting out your desires, and what you want to create for yourself and in your life. If you didn’t review your list from last month during phase 1 of the Dark Moon, review it now. Cross off anything that you don’t want anymore. Celebrate whatever came in. Rewrite your list and include on this month’s list those things that align with the Leo New Moon Intrinsic Energies™ (My point is, you don’t have to only focus on Leo IE, always keep your manifestation list current and evolving.)
After you have written your New Moon manifestation list do this:
Step into your Intrinsic Energy Work™ space (don’t have one yet, start here)
Call back the piece of soil you prepared during yesterday’s Dark Moon phase.
See yourself creating, experiencing, having, those things you want to create.
feel what it feels like. Feel the joy, the satisfaction, the relief, the sense of accomplishment, the freedom, etc.
Turn everything you want to create into a seed.
Plant each seed into the soil, carrying with you the feelings you connected with.
Hand it to your Spirit so that you can manifest it.
Full Moon – June 23, 2021 – Capricorn
For the Full Moon, I focus on questions that are rooted in the Intrinsic Energy™ of the astrological sign the moon is in and we use these questions to help us deepen our healing & growth.
There are three steps to my Full Moon work: Reflect/Heal, Forgiveness, and Gratitude. There is nothing unique about the three areas, what is unique is how I work through these three areas using Intrinsic Energy™ awareness.
***Remember, seeing something means we get to clear it. You must, must clear it to heal & grow. The things we look at aren’t meant to further wound you, we all do stuff, have thoughts, and have missteps, what’s important is what we do with those moments – clear them and move forward.
To use the Capricorn Intrinsic Energy™
We look at out of aligned Capricorn Intrinsic Energy™ which is associated with procrastination, stubbornness, emotionally cold, and brutal when angry.
Reflect & Heal
Reflect on these questions, look at where & how they apply to you and release what comes up:
Step into your Intrinsic Energy Work™ space (don’t have one yet, start here) and explore:
Where have you been bogged down by procrastination?
Where have you been stubborn? With whom? How has it affected your life experience?
Where have you been emotionally cold? Why? What’s behind it? What needs aren’t being met? What wounding are you covering?
Where have you been brutal when angry? What is underneath that? What wounds are you covering with that anger? What are you really angry about?
Use your Intrinsic Energy Work™ space to clear out anything that comes up – memories, regrets, embarrassment for your behavior and actions, as well as the Intrinsic Energies™ of procrastination, stubbornness, emotionally cold, and brutal when angry (or brutal if you tend to just be brutal 😉 )
Forgiveness
Traditional exploration of forgiveness tends to focus on forgiving someone for something they have done that negatively impacts you.
That’s not how I work with forgiveness. My focus is on doing the healing work on the energies and emotions that need to be released.
We look to forgive ourselves for the ways we have been hard on ourselves, for the ways we have spent too much time and energy focused on someone or something else. We look to step out of the wound and we look to understand what lessons we are working on and what information we can take from the experience.
It doesn’t give someone a pass, but it is important to remember that anger or wounding held only continues to hurt you. The person who caused it isn’t impacted by any of that. So let’s stop putting our focus there.
Full Moon Forgiveness Work
Step into your Intrinsic Energy Work™ space (don’t have one yet, start here) and explore:
Release where you are holding anger or resentment toward yourself or others for procrastination. Also, look for feelings or wounding of not being worthy of someone’s time & energy, or of being a priority.
Release where you are holding feelings of being unloved or unlovable due to someone’s emotional coldness and the wounding that comes with those feelings (not good enough, not worth, etc.)
Release the wounding of someone’s brutalness (verbal, emotional, mental, physical) .
Gratitude
Step into your Intrinsic Energy Work™ space (don’t have one yet, start here) and explore:
Where are you grateful for persistency in your life? Where and how does it show up?
Where are you grateful for resourcefulness in your life? Where and how does it show up?
Where are you grateful for loyalty in your life? Where and how does it show up?
With each exploration, feel in what way you are grateful and let these Intrinsic Energies™ radiate through you.
Sit in gratitude in these Intrinsic Energies™ for as long as you desire.
Goddess Energy
Artemis is the Goddess of the Hunt and one of the Goddesses of the Moon.
Artemis has been commonly associated with Selene. While these two goddesses were often thought to be one and the same, they are separate deities with unique meanings and powers. Artemis, a hunter, is the daughter of Zeus and the twin sister of Apollo. She was the protector of animals, who would dwell in places of nature, harnessing that energy to rest and regain strength. Those loyal to this lunar goddess were known as Amazons which translates to “moon women” and they worshiped the new moon phase. The sixth day of the new moon in each monthly cycle belonged to Artemis. https://www.moonglow.com/blogs/shoot-for-the-moon-blog/the-moon-and-theology-the-lunar-goddesses-that-started-it-all
When I work with Goddesses and their Intrinsic Energy™, like all things in my work, the focus is on using the energies to support our healing & growth, not to give our power over for healing to be done.
I love working with Goddesses in this way. They meet us in our Intrinsic Energy Work™ space and provide support and guidance. They are partners in our journey.
When working with Goddesses we look at the Intrinsic Energies™ they embody and manage, and we tap into those qualities and gifts to deepen our own healing & growth.
Here are some thoughts on working with Flora this month:
Work with Artemis to hunt for those things you desire.
Work with Artemis to move to the forefront of a, or your crusade, or movement.
Work with Artemis to tap into Nature and use that energy to rest and reset.
Work with Artemis to tap into the power of the Amazon Women.
Go Deeper With Me
We do deeper Goddess Work in my Spiritual Seeker’s Collective* membership group. We not only work with the intrinsic energies™ we also meet each Goddess and receive the insight and gifts they have for us.
I also work with members on each of the areas noted above. The monthly focus is a live Zoom call. The Moon Work is all done in the livestream. Goddess Work is also done in the Livestream. Hallmark moments, like the Equinox, are done via live Zoom calls. I also offer one ‘Ask Me Anything’ a month for members.
Please join the Collective if you want to work with me on everything mentioned in this Month’s Guide.
*The Spiritual Seeker’s Collective is currently called Awaken & Grow. It is undergoing growth of its own. Over the almost two years since the membership launched it has evolved into a beautiful space that mirrors a past program of mine called Awaken & Grow Through the Seasons. The fact that this yearly, monthly, and hallmark moment work is still rising to the surface tells me it continues to be essential work for your healing & growth.
