,

But the thing to remember here is that we are fighting for your independence, which is an absolutely essential battle.

Here’s your Branch of Connected Liberty…

YOUR BRANCH OF CONNECTED LIBERTY

Isn’t the Branch so beautiful? I’m sure you can imagine how excited I felt when it stayed with me in the real world, following me back from my vision…

Now, with great pleasure, I’m passing it to you – the always intended recipient.  

All you need to do to align with the Branch of Connected Liberty and trigger a new phase of independence (while simultaneously severing that birth twin connection) is follow these steps:

Photo light tree

1. Print out the Branch of Connected Liberty. Take some time online to search for images of trees that speak to you and resonate with your energy, and then print a few of these out, too.

2. Spread the tree images in a semi-circle on the ground, placing the Branch at the mid-point.

3. Stand in the curve of the semi-circle. Look to the first tree image, and try to shift your body into its form. Imagine you are strong and tall, like a tree that has stood for many years.

4. Repeat this process for each tree image, really investing in it. Skip over the Branch, then return your focus and eyeline to it when you have formed the last tree.

5. Kneel down, taking your arms over your shoulders as if about to dive and pressing your fingertips to the bottom of the Branch’s image.

6. Imagine each of your arms is a strong and stable branch, now coming off from the Branch of Connected Liberty. Visualize your own liberty. Know that you need nobody else.

7. Bending even further over, press your forehead to the Branch, close your eyes and whisper: We are one and the same. I am ready to grow alone. I am prepared to stand tall, even in the center of the empty field.

That’s all there is to it,        . Only seven actions separate you from a better stage of your life.

Read through the steps carefully before you start, and try to complete each with a genuinely open heart when the moment comes. When each is done, store the Branch of Connected Liberty somewhere special and safe.

The closer to the place you spend most of your time (perhaps your bedroom or your home office if you, like me, work from home?), the better.

Now, as promised, let’s get to your two FREE gifts…

YOUR HEALTHY INDEPENDENCE ADVICE

• Don’t expect one loved one to fulfill all your needs – you’ll only set them up to fail you

• Time alone should be time enjoyed, not time to fear and avoid

• Inner confidence is a thousand times more powerful to you than any exterior compliment or sense of external worth could ever be

• Solo travel can be a great way to connect with yourself on a deeper level

• Never feel hemmed in or limited – you can learn new things at any age and in any phase of your life

• Take control of all areas of your life, including your finances

• Consider an animal companion in place of an unideal human companion – become a caregiver, grow as a person

• Learn the distinction between sharing but not burdening versus simply shutting everyone out (which you do not need to do to become independent)

• Invest time, energy and effort into solo hobbies that enrich your soul

• Even with a romantic partner, take care to attend events without them occasionally – don’t make every single part of your life directly connected to them

• “No” is a word that holds more power than you can possibly imagine

• Regulate your mental health by caring for your physical health – exercise, eat well and drink plenty of water without prompting from anyone else in your life

• Remember that if you don’t experience everything with someone, you get the joy of telling them the amazing story you lived at a later date

• Stay connected to who you are and your current intentions/plans/hopes/dreams by journaling and doing lots of regular self-check-ins

YOUR LUCKY REFRAIN OF THE SAPLING

(Speak this Lucky Refrain in daylight, in the forest, surrounded on all sides by trees. Ideally, speak it while kneeling, with your eyes closed and your palms pressed to the forest floor.)

The grace and beauty of each towering form,

So easy to see, yet so easy to ignore,

But never again will I fail to revere,

What has stood for so long, so strong, right here,

Older than the time I’ve known,

What a blessing to think of how you’ve grown,

Once a sapling, reaching up,

Each spread down root a trail of love,

Love for nature and its life-giving power,

Love for every sunlit hour,

The peace I feel, encompassed by you,

Is special and precious, though nothing new,

You’ve always been there, stalwart and steady,

To give you all my love, I am more than ready,

In return for my devotion clear,

Lend fortune to brighten the passing year,

All the luck that you can spare,

Know I’ll take it on with care,

I expect nothing, but I request what you might give,

It’s a blessing enough to stand where you live,

And never again will I fail to revere,

What has stood for so long, so strong, right here.

With that, I’ve given you everything you need – your Branch of Connected Liberty, your Healthy Independence Advice and your Lucky Refrain of the Sapling.

Let the luck of the trees, awarded following the Refrain, wash through your life.

Let the Branch raise you up.

Let the Advice keep you risen.

I believe you can do amazing things with what you’ve been given today. And I can’t wait to see your energy balance return to normal, free of your birth twin’s influence…

Your loving friend,
