BONUS: The Struggle Doesn't Equal Abundance: Arcturian Wisdom for August 2025

The universe is calling us toward lightness, and the Arcturians are here to guide the way. This profound channeling delivers timely wisdom for navigating the transformative eclipse season ahead, reminding us that our bodies are preparing for a significant energetic shift.

Are you feeling the physical symptoms of this cosmic upgrade? Fatigue, aches, congestion, and lightheadedness aren't random – they're signs your body is shedding density to embrace higher frequencies. This message arrives with perfect timing, whether you're listening in August 2025 or another moment; you're exactly where you need to be.

The Arcturians reveal a fundamental truth: everything misaligned with your highest purpose must now be recognized and released. This isn't about painful sacrifice but conscious evolution. That relationship, job, habit, or belief system you've outgrown but cling to through familiarity? It's becoming increasingly uncomfortable because it cannot accompany you into the new earth consciousness emerging. The beautiful promise they offer is that anything truly meant for you will return in an improved form after you create space through release.

Perhaps most revolutionary is their insight about abundance and struggle. We're moving beyond the paradigm where pushing harder equals greater rewards. In the emerging Age of Aquarius, prosperity flows not from exhaustion but from authentic alignment. There's enough abundance for everyone – the struggle isn't a prerequisite for wealth, wellness, or fulfilling relationships.

Speaker 3: 1:17

Arcturian Channeling for August 2025. Whether you are listening to this in August of 2025 or a different time, it's the right time for you. Your energy One is not better than the other. You are here listening to it at the right time for you. As august begins and as you go into this energy with the lion's gate portal 8-8, you are moving and preparing your body, your mind, body connection, your mind body soul connection for eclipse season, which is happening rather than a month ahead from where you are at this time that you are doing this channeling. These are just times. Time is not linear. These are times that we are telling you that you are on your planet at this current time, but everything is happening at the same time all the time, as you know in your spiritual teachings. So, to fully understand where you are, what you're doing, what's happening we've said this time and time again, time and time again, and we know we do not get tired of saying this because this is a pivotal point on the abundant moving forward for you and everyone on the planet we had to find the right words to say that this is the pivotal point for Earth moving forward. So, when we repeat the same thing over and over and over again. We do not tire of saying the same thing. We do not get upset that you are not listening. We do not get upset and think you're not listening. None of that. We just simply want to say the same thing over and over and over again so that you understand the importance of what is happening and to best prepare you. So let us tell you it's much like when you're giving advice to a friend or you're telling someone something and they don't particularly see that they're listening or that it resonates or whatever. But you know you planted the seed. So months later, days later, weeks later, years later, when they go ahead and they are making a decision, that seed that you planted is within, so they're able to use that while they are using their discernment and their understanding of creating and deciding what their next move is. That is simply what is happening and simply what we are doing as well. So with that, you are moving into an energy of eclipse season where anything that is not in alignment for your highest good, your highest purpose, your soul, evolution and your highest self needs to be brought to the surface, to be realized, integrated, healed or released. Those are the things. That is what is happening.

Speaker 3: 3:50

So this can be anything from the smallest thing of what food you're eating, how you're sleeping, your sleep schedule, to your job, to your relationship, to your purpose, to your higher power. This is literally everything wrapped up in one. It's not compartmentalized, it's not that, oh, this is about your job, and if your home life is not okay, it's fine. You can just continue to move forward and forward, and forward. That's not how this goes.

Speaker 3: 4:14

Everything needs to be in alignment so that you are healthy, wise and moving forward and also pulling the collective forward as you are moving forward with this new integration. And it's not going to feel like a struggle, it's not going to feel pain, it's not going to feel that it is too intense to move forward in this way, because what you are doing now, and what you've been doing for a while, is that you have been acclimating your actual physical body to move forward in this way. So that means you've been having your cellular upgrades, you've been doing your oxygenating of your body and your blood, you've been adjusting and moving into this new, lighter body, rather than the dense body that you were born with, the dense body that's been around for quite some time, that you were born with the dense body that's been around for quite some time. Your energy is moving into this lighter energy, this aura energy, this auric energy. So with that, you cannot take the heavy baggage with you and you know what. You don't need the heavy baggage. It's part of who you were, not part of where you are moving and where you are going to, part of where you are moving and where you are going to, and we don't even think or believe or know that you need to dive in and dig and really mine for what this is. You're really going to realize it very quickly and apparently, what needs to be released and what is beautiful and able to come with. So it's not that you need to make these lists and know that, okay, this is the day and this is what's leaving and this is what's coming and this is what's going.

Speaker 3: 5:54

Go back to your inner truth and peel the layers to find that authentic person inside of you and the authenticity. Only authentic, aligned things beings, ideas, matches will be able to move forward with you. It's all a natural progression. If you feel struggle and pain and pressure and anguish, you are holding on to something that does not need to come with you into the new earth, into the earth you are moving and evolving to, into this new era of lightness. And, as we started, we've said this time and time again. We don't tire of saying this because it is a very pivotal part of the human experience.

Speaker 3: 6:42

Right now on earth, you are being asked to release the things that no longer serve you, to keep the things that you need to move forward and to move forward with confidence. So part of this is going to be releasing, caring about what other people think of you releasing, caring about what your parents wanted you to become and move into and that you were trying to grow to to make them proud. It's about releasing status quos and social norms. It's about releasing what you believe you should be doing. It's about releasing any toxic behaviors you're doing that are keeping you small and keeping you from expanding and keeping you from opening up and having these experiences. So this is really about aligning with that most authentic place and part of you and being unapologetic for being that person and not in a way that you are being rude. You know to some it might come off in that way because their own healing is happening on their own timeline, but this is happening for you, so that you can evolve and grow, so that you are healing those years before you and after you, timelines of your lineage, after you, timelines of your lineage. That's why it can feel difficult to release and difficult to move into this new energy of you.

Speaker 3: 8:17

You are you. You are meant to be yourself. You are not meant to please others. You are not meant to go with the flow. You are not meant to do societal norms meant to go with the flow. You are not meant to do societal norms. You are being lied to on many, many, many different ways that you need to fit into a box and be alike. Otherwise you're the outcast and people will make fun of you and people will make you feel bad and you'll feel lower emotions. That's not what is meant to be. Actually, when you're different and you shine, that's when you inspire others to be different and shine and then no one is made fun of and it doesn't matter, because everyone is shining their light and being authentic and being different in their own way and growing in that way so that they can shine their own life, purpose, light, authenticity for themselves, their lineage and moving the collective forward.

Speaker 3: 9:11

So we say all of this now, because in August you might feel the stretching of your body, the purging on your body, the pains, the aches, the fatigue, the congestion, the lightheadedness, anything that might feel that your body is just trying to get lighter, lighter, lighter, lighter, lighter, lighter, lighter, lighter, so you can get into this new energy during eclipse season and fully step into who you are. Yes, a lot of stepping into who you are is stepping into and doing things you've been procrastinating on being seen pushing through fear and doing it anyway. Yes, all those things. But a big part of that, now and through eclipse season, is you releasing the things season. Is you releasing the things that are just not working, the thing that you've been trying time and time again and you feel exhaustive, you feel tired, you feel frustrated, you feel angry, you feel like you're putting a square peg in a round hole. It's just not working. No, it doesn't have to work. Release it it, because whatever you are doing and trying to make work is going to easily work for someone else and you can then release that, cut the cords and move forward into something new, something bright, something abundant, something of ease.

Speaker 3: 10:43

Now releasing something, whether it's a job, a, a relationship, a home, a city, a way of doing, a habit, could honestly feel like you're losing an appendage. It could feel like you want to hold on to that so much because you are so used to having the picture of. You can become so used to the pain that every morning when you wake up and you have dread about your job. You are so used to that that that's kind of a familiar feeling that you feel very cozy with, which sounds silly from an outside observer, but that's just what feels right in your nervous system. So right now, your nervous system is working in tandem with your body to expand. You create this lightness. That's why you might feel these aches, these pains, congestion, purging, etc. Because you are getting ready to move into that next level.

Speaker 3: 11:37

And we promise you, if you release something, cut the cords, move forward into whatever it is that you're moving forward to that feels light and airy. If that thing you released is meant for you, it will come back in a better way. It will come back in a better way. We want to repeat that Release it now if it's not working and bringing you that light and you feel, do you feel like your best self right now, doing whatever it is that you're doing in the city, in the job, in the relationship with your habits, do you feel like your best self? Now we know you're human, you're going to indulge, you're going to do things that make you feel alive and as a human, we get that. But just in the grand scheme of things, let's say 80% of the time, do you feel fulfilled, happy, exuberant, like you are your best self. And if the answer is no release, exuberant like you are your best self. And if the answer is no release and it might be scary to jump to the other side, to release, but we promise you, when you release and create that space for something new to come in, the newness that comes in is going to feel like it was always meant to be there, that it was always there and that it's effortless.

Speaker 3: 12:47

Moving into this soft life of abundance. You're moving into the age of Aquarius. This is not the age of push, push, push, struggle, struggle, struggle and then feel the pennies start to peel in slowly with the harder you work. That's not the energy. There is enough wealth and abundance on this planet for everyone to be a billionaire. We want you to know that, for everyone to be a billionaire. We want you to know that and it's about releasing and believing that, because you can work three hours a week and make a million dollars a week, money is just energy. So we want you to know it doesn't have to be the struggle. The struggle does not equal abundance. The struggle does not equal wellness. The struggle does not equal health. Abundance, the struggle does not equal wellness. The struggle does not equal health. The struggle does not equal prosperity. The struggle does not equal happy relationships.

Speaker 3: 13:38

Do you see there like, do you see from all spiritual teachers that you've heard, what you put energy towards expands and comes back to you like a boomerang. So if you're in struggle mode, what makes you think struggle mode is going to bring you abundance? It doesn't Release the struggle mode. And if you're not ready to release it, just refocus your energy on something different and let it flow on its own. So let's say you have 80% of your time you're giving to a job that you just really do not feel passionate about at all. Start to tip the scales and start to do something that you truly, truly enjoy Knitting, painting, running, collaborating, learning, doing something you love to do as a child. Start to put your energy towards that and let the other thing flow by the wayside and kind of release, because we bring all this up to you. We have for the last four to six channelings and months, because if you do not release it or just let it go, it's going to come to a halt. So that job that you just complain about all the time and you don't love and you don't enjoy, etc. But it is that part of you, it is that appendage. So when you are laid off or fired from that role it's going to feel like a shock.

Speaker 3: 15:04

So we're preparing you to release those things that just don't feel right and create the lightness. You can also do this in your home decluttering, releasing things that you've been holding on to and create that lightness in your home. Decluttering, releasing things that you've been holding on to and create that lightness in your home. You know about spring cleaning Talk about eclipse cleaning. Release the home so that it feels light as you're going into this eclipse season. To support you with these energies. We love you. We love you. We love you. We send you light and love. We're with you all the time. Call upon us when you need. End of transmission podcast.
