🆕 Social Media Energy Update 👁️😇🪽
June 2024 overview
Welcome to a new monthly look at the energies of social media; from our relationship trends and astro events, to our digital wellbeing and beyond :)
🆕✨🦄🐉👽😇📱✨🌀🦄▵🔑💓🧙🏻♀️
Why an energy report? Firstly, we love them! I’m excited to create somewhere for us to explore the energetics of the online world in this way. The tide is turning, we are talking about the impact of the digital realm on us, our lives and our energy, more and more everyday.
SOCIAL MEDIA ENERGY UPDATE JUNE 2024
This is a good time for authentic communication in, on and about our digital spaces and places. June begins with some nice energies supporting us and our online communications. It is Gemini season after all (communication), with Jupiter (expansion) and Venus (creativity, pleasure) getting in on the action. I have been hearing how this is a brilliant time for manifestation.
A good energy to tap into and follow… ✨
You never know who might see your next post, especially when you do it with intention. It takes just one person, the right person, to open a door to your next opportunity. Sharing something which may lead you closer towards your own divine destiny. Think of it like a social media Celestine Prophecy of sorts, A Choose Your Own Adventure, where it’s not about how many likes, but who likes it, gets it, feels it, that truly matters.
There are real people and personalities behind the screen, not just a number, a stat that scrolled past. We do not have to play the game of social media the way they (big tech) want us to »
Outside of our our own content and offerings, collectively we have election season happening, with the upcoming UK elections in July, and USA later in the year. We learnt from Cambridge Analytica scandal of 2018, that persuasion tactics and campaigns created for nudging, propaganda and political interference is active and rife on social media. We need to be extra aware of what we consume »
Ours is the first age in which many thousands of the best-trained individual minds have made a full-time business to get inside the collective public mind. To get inside in order to manipulate, exploit, control is the object now. And to generate heat not light is the intention. (McLuhan [1951] 1967: v)
Media, Persuasion and Propaganda by Marshall Soules, Edinburgh University Press
Online we are experiencing a digital reflection, reveal and response to the genocide in Palestine, as well as other ongoing conflicts. The recent ‘All eyes on Rafa’ image that went viral, with the AI image that was shared over 40 million times on ig Stories.
Alongside it, we have a trend towards naming influencers, spiritual teachers, celebrities who have not spoken up, with unfollowing or shaming those not using their platform to raise awareness. This is a form of online bullying (my mum said so!) There are a lot of opinions around what people should do, think or feel when it comes to activism and how to support. It is complicated.
Well meaning souls are filling up their newsfeeds with distressing images, as part of their allyship, friends sharing how it is making them feel physically sick, unable to sleep at night. I struggle to navigate this on many levels, and know many feel the same.
Social media has been, and is being, used as a weapon, and yet we still go about our days on here as though nothing here is astray. There is a physical, spiritual and psychological war happening, with all sorts of actors vying for our energy, our attention and our action; from wars, to politics and more. We need to become much more aware of what we give our attention to online, and when, be it intentionally or unconsciously.
Our attention is a manifestation tool.
I am coming to understand how important our attention is, alongside our vibration, frequency, essence and energy and how this all intertwines with manifestation. Our bodies are so powerful that by feeling an emotion we set off a chemical response - which is the same whether we physically experience something or imagine it. How incredible is that?! It is why the placebo effect is so fascinating, and why we can increase muscle mass in our sleep, if we do it consciously whilst lucid dreaming.
As we wake up to the multi-dimensional, the quantum and holographic intelligence within and without, we will see that spending time scrolling Instagram or TikTok is mostly a distraction from the innate power we hold inside us. A power that individually and collectively can bring about a new golden age, a time much prophesied to happen within the next decade.
The Gemini New Moon is a Transmission that Now is Not Then. We are now living our lives via screens, our identities digitally tracked, no longer able to switch off the continuous Tower of Babel etheric assault of unwanted data and mind manipulation. Alienated from our bodies, from nature, from others. It has never been so important to identify, activate and distinguish your non-negotiables, your touchstones, your lodestones and personal compass from what is just ephemeral noise, control and consumerism. After all, where your attention goes, your life goes….

5D Report for June
It is time to take our power back.
Our wellbeing, our attention, is more important than ever as it impacts what we experience in this realm of existence. This ties in with what my friend, author, artist, creatrix
shared in her newsletter this week…How I’ve Self Source-ed THIS WEEK…
I TOOK BACK MY ATTENTION.
I made a decision.
I have NO interest in being ON Instagram anymore.
Don’t worry, I’m not being THAT person + making a grand declaration of ‘I’m leaving social media’, because well, I’m not.
I like it, (for the most part) but it’s become VERY clear to me, that I have let myself become distracted by it, and I am a woman who read a LOT of self-help in the 90’s, so I KNOW that:
Where your focus goes, attention flows.
Yep, while this is now considered basic witch shit 101, it’s basic for a reason, because it’s foundational. So I’m taking my attention back + becoming REALLY BLOODY INTENTIONAL with it.
(AND…I’ve realised, I’d really like my social skills back too while I’m at it.)
For sure, I’ll pimp the goods + share the memes on Insta, but while I have a presence there, I want to be FULLY present to…MY LIFE.
I want to CREATE more than I’m consuming.
I’ve been getting messages about how heavy and exhausted social media is leaving us feeling. Yet we are being hooked in, we do it on autopilot, going on for work, or because of the habits we have formed over the past fifteen years or more.
As the energy ramps up, literally as we experience more solar flares, interplanetary events and aurora, as these bigger cosmic shifts of the ages happen, where we place our energy and attention affects the outcomes even more than before.
How can we make taking more breaks from the screen a priority this summer?
Choosing to be outside and in nature, communicating with the land, the trees and flowers, resting, receiving the sunshine and giving our minds and bodies space to recover.
Letting rest be a big part of our resistance.
Reclaiming our attention, time and energy.
As we approach the solstice, a mid point, honouring the sun in the wheel of the year, re-visiting our relationship to social media and evaluating our why and how.
How am I doing social media?
How am I feeling about social media?
What are these spaces and places doing for me, or to me?
Our relationship with the digital dimension is a dance, a process and a journey for us all individually and collectively.
Do let me know how you are doing / feeling x and if you enjoyed this :)
Love this Katie! Yesterday I took the leap and wrote and published my first post here & it feels so goooood to be here. Thank you for sharing your guidance and for leadership towards another way, in such a true and authentic way x
