Hello and welcome back to
Remember Why You Are Here,
Speaker:a podcast for seekers and sensitives
where you can relax, receive,
Speaker:reconnect to yourself and remember the
most important thing of all why you're
Speaker:here.
Speaker:I am Asia Suler author,
birth intuitive teacher,
Speaker:and in this episode I wanted to
revisit my intuitive reading for
Speaker:this year.
Speaker:So every year I give an intuitive
reading for the year ahead.
Speaker:And the way I normally work with this
is that I ask to receive an image,
Speaker:a metaphor that will help us
as we walk through this year
Speaker:earth given metaphor that can help us
understand what might be coming up for
Speaker:us and also how to meet it.
Speaker:So I've been doing these readings now
for many years and I really wanted this
Speaker:year's reading to be
a part of the podcast.
Speaker:I often find that I end up revisiting
the reading throughout the year,
Speaker:and I hear from other folks that they do
as well. I tend to get comments on the
Speaker:readings throughout the year, and so
it's this unfolding process in this way.
Speaker:So I feel like it is good for it to live
here on the podcast for us to have it
Speaker:so we can reference it,
Speaker:and the image that came through
for this year was the golden ring,
Speaker:and there's so much power
in mystery to this image
Speaker:and to this upcoming year.
As I'm recording this,
Speaker:we're just about a couple
months into the year and so
Speaker:far this image and the entire
Speaker:package that it came
with is really helpful.
Speaker:It has been really helpful
for me in meeting this year,
Speaker:and you'll hear the reading in just
a moment if you haven't heard it yet.
Speaker:But for me,
Speaker:one of the things that has
been the most helpful is this
Speaker:idea that there's actually
this huge mystery unfolding and
Speaker:that the way we think things might unveil
Speaker:or unfold from here actually
might look quite different,
Speaker:that we're in the process of
creating something right now,
Speaker:that the current trajectory that we're on,
Speaker:it's like if we just looked
down that trajectory,
Speaker:we're actually not going to glimpse what
the true future is going to look like
Speaker:because so much is in flux and
is in change right now. And the
Speaker:way to continue to
create this future that's
Speaker:unfolding this future that is for
the greater good that is moving us
Speaker:towards greater healing is to remember
Speaker:your original commitments and
resource yourself in this original
Speaker:desire again. So I'm going to
talk about what that means in the,
Speaker:but I've been thinking about it a lot
and I wanted to make sure that this
Speaker:reading was available here for this
year and for the years to come.
Speaker:So without further ado,
Speaker:here is my intuitive reading for 2025.
Speaker:Welcome to 2025. I kind of
can't believe I'm saying that,
Speaker:but it's actually 2025.
My name is Asia Suler.
Speaker:I am an author, an
earth intuitive teacher,
Speaker:and every year I give an intuitive
reading for the year ahead.
Speaker:Back when I used to see clients
in one-on-one intuitive readings,
Speaker:I worked mainly through images. And so
every year at the start of the year,
Speaker:I ask the earth and my guides
to send me an image to guide us
Speaker:through the year ahead.
So this image was very interesting to me
Speaker:because it actually came through
spontaneously before I even sat down and
Speaker:meditation and asked for an
image, and it was this image,
Speaker:I've been calling it the golden ring,
but there's a lot of layers to it.
Speaker:So our image for this new year,
Speaker:the golden ring first came in as,
Speaker:have you ever seen those
videos of blacksmithing where
you've seen it in person,
Speaker:where you have the metal that first
starts to heat up and it's sort of
Speaker:red around the perimeter,
Speaker:like it's a golden ember deep red.
Speaker:So this was the image I got.
Speaker:It was almost like this dark center
with this red ring around it,
Speaker:and before I really even
understood what it was,
Speaker:and I was just calling it the golden ring,
Speaker:it really had this sense of mystery
and power and potential to it,
Speaker:deep mystery power and potential.
Then,
Speaker:so this was before I sat down to really
receive information about what this
Speaker:image means.
Speaker:I was watching a Christmas movie
and I had a montage scene of major
Speaker:news events and images of
the past handful years,
Speaker:and they had this image, this photograph
from: Speaker:And I looked at it and I said that that
is what I've been seeing. What is that?
Speaker:Turns out that picture was a photograph,
Speaker:the first photograph ever of a black hole.
Speaker:So I had full body goosebumps and so much
Speaker:to learn about, so much to
integrate as this image came in.
Speaker:But the more I learned about black holes,
Speaker:the more I understood why I was literally
shown this image for this new year.
Speaker:And so before I start to talk a
little bit about the year ahead,
Speaker:I just want to say that this
is a soul forging year. Think
Speaker:about be a smith at a forge.
This is a soul forging year.
Speaker:And so I'm sticking with the name of
Speaker:the golden ring because I think actually
there's this aspect to the forging
Speaker:aspect that's really important for us
to remember as we walk into this year,
Speaker:especially because sometimes we hear
the words black holes and we're like,
Speaker:oh gosh, what does that mean?
Speaker:But I'm going to reframe it for you in
a way to help you see just really how
Speaker:actually fertile and generous and
generative this is and will be for
Speaker:you.
Speaker:There's no doubt in my mind that
: Speaker:The words that came in for
me were life changing year.
Speaker:There are really big things
on the horizon. Like I said
before, a lot of power,
Speaker:a lot of potential. This is a passage
this year, not just personally,
Speaker:but globally. We're moving through a
passage and it's also going to be an
Speaker:information revealing year, especially
information about your own self,
Speaker:your own soul,
Speaker:your own journey of coming into embodiment
and embodying your soul here on this
Speaker:planet.
Speaker:I have this feeling that this year is
going to give you the template for what's
Speaker:possible for you in your
life, in this world,
Speaker:and a template that maybe you haven't
even conceived it before or didn't
Speaker:actually have access to, but
you will after this year.
Speaker:So let's now talk about the golden ring.
Speaker:I really want to draw your attention
to the ring itself first because this
Speaker:is how it first came in for
me looking at this ring of
Speaker:light, of red, golden light
surrounding the center.
Speaker:And I think there's a reason why my
guides asked me to tune into this first
Speaker:before I even understood what image they
were showing me. And it's because of
Speaker:this. The ring symbolizes in
our culture often commitment.
Speaker:And so there's this invitation
here in this year of: Speaker:this big life-changing passage
of a year to recommit to
Speaker:the eternal aspect of you.
Speaker:So I'm not necessarily talking
about earthly commitments,
Speaker:although those may come up this year,
like I'm going to commit to that project.
Speaker:I'm talking about remembering the
commitments that you came in with,
Speaker:that this is a year to recommit
to your soul's journey,
Speaker:to recommit to why you came here, even
if you're not completely clear on that,
Speaker:but you're recommitting to it.
Speaker:You're recommitting to the eternal aspect
of yourself that came here to play out
Speaker:this journey. And one of the images
I got is from Lord of the Rings,
Speaker:the one ring to rule them all
when it's heated up. You can see,
Speaker:I think it's Elvis on the band,
Speaker:but that the words start glowing when
it's been heated or when it's been touched
Speaker:in a certain way. I don't remember
all the details of the movie,
Speaker:but I saw this image and
it was almost like that
Speaker:guiding image of this is a year
to remember as we enter the heat
Speaker:of this year to remember what was the
commitment. There's a freedom in that.
Speaker:There's such a freedom in
remembering what was the commitment,
Speaker:what was the original
commitment of why I came here?
Speaker:We get sidetracked all the time
into commitments we think are
Speaker:important, what other
people are asking of us.
Speaker:But this year is a year of
remembering the original commitment,
Speaker:like the original commitment
of your soul. Like, oh, right,
Speaker:that's why I came here.
Speaker:This is why I said yes to coming to
this planet and being on this journey.
Speaker:So as I said, this is a soul forging year,
Speaker:and you want to let
yourself be forged by it,
Speaker:almost like envision putting on this ring,
Speaker:making this commitment to what's going
to come. Because what's going to come
Speaker:is ultimately mysterious.
Speaker:And this is why we need
this commitment piece.
Speaker:Why we need the commitment
to our own individual sparks,
Speaker:our own individual selves, the
mystery of our own journeys,
Speaker:that original commitment that brought
us here that is so dear to the center of
Speaker:our souls and selves and hearts.
Speaker:We need this because what
makes a ring, a ring?
Speaker:The center, this empty center,
Speaker:the void, the black hole.
Speaker:So the void is what
makes the ring possible,
Speaker:and there's this element when
we are making a commitment,
Speaker:is we're also committing to the mystery.
Speaker:We're committing to that void because
the void is the very thing that is making
Speaker:our commitment possible.
Speaker:So to make a commitment is to
plunge yourself into mystery to say,
Speaker:I'm committing to this even though I
don't know what's going to come next,
Speaker:even though I don't know how it's
going to come about. So there
Speaker:is sometimes in our culture, like a
little bit of fear around the void,
Speaker:especially in western culture.
Speaker:There's this fear around
nothingness like the black hole,
Speaker:literally we call them black holes, right?
Speaker:I want to talk a little bit about black
holes from a stellar perspective in a
Speaker:moment, but first I want to talk
about this concept of the void.
Speaker:There's many other classical
traditions around the world,
Speaker:especially traditions
coming out of the east,
Speaker:which really resonate
with me around the void,
Speaker:where the void is not
this place of nothingness.
Speaker:It's not a lack. It is the origin place.
Speaker:It is is the mystery itself.
Speaker:It is the generative darkness
out of which all things
Speaker:arise.
Speaker:It is nothingness in that it is
like the womb space before something
Speaker:comes into creation. So in
Daoism, this would be the Ji.
Speaker:This is the source of all
existence that precedes
Speaker:duality.
This is this rich potential place.
Speaker:The void contains all potentials. There's
a quote from Alan Watts where he says,
Speaker:the void is creative being comes
from non being as sound from
Speaker:silence and light from space.
Speaker:So in this concept and
Daoism this voice space,
Speaker:it's literally the idea of it.
It's like the Dao in stillness.
Speaker:It's like all the unmanifest
aspects of the Tao,
Speaker:this animating force of this universe,
Speaker:the central stream or thread that is
here to guide you through your life,
Speaker:that all exists inside of the void. The
void is what is giving birth to that.
Speaker:So there's such a powerful generative
aspect of embracing the void,
Speaker:of being in the void and
the void as womb space as
Speaker:original place. There's
something about this year,: Speaker:and its bigness that we're like
going back to an original place.
Speaker:We're remembering more of our
original place of who we are in our
Speaker:essentiality.
We will not,
Speaker:what my guides told me is we
will not come out the same
Speaker:on the other side as
we went into this year,
Speaker:and that should be exciting,
Speaker:even though it's a
little trepid sometimes,
Speaker:but change is life, right?
Speaker:And the forging aspect of this is
going to bring through really new
Speaker:qualities for all of us, within
all of us and within our world.
Speaker:So I think it was actually
really important that this
image of the black hole
Speaker:came in for me because the more than I
learned about black holes on the other
Speaker:side of this really wild of experience
of seeing this image and thinking,
Speaker:oh my Lord, that is what I've been seeing.
Speaker:The more I really see how the black
Speaker:hole is such an important
anchor for us as we
Speaker:understand the void,
Speaker:as we understand the generative space
of mystery. So what we know about how
Speaker:black holes work, and this is very
simplistic understanding of what I can
Speaker:conceive of and transmute, but
black holes happen when really,
Speaker:really huge stars like these very
generative aspects of the universe
Speaker:implode upon themselves.
Speaker:And it's like their mass is so
big that the gravity of that
Speaker:implosion just continues.
Speaker:And so then it becomes from our eye,
Speaker:what we see is the ring around this
black hole is called the event horizon,
Speaker:and it's surrounding this dark space.
Speaker:And this is actually how we've figured
out how to take a picture of a black hole
Speaker:is by tracking the event horizons.
Speaker:And what you're seeing is
the event horizon itself.
Speaker:That's the red ring.
Speaker:And so what we know actually
for a while, we thought, oh,
Speaker:is information going into this black hole,
Speaker:things going into the black hole and then
ceasing to exist or jumping timelines?
Speaker:What we do know is that all of the
information that exists in a star
Speaker:or that is approaching a black
hole, it doesn't actually disappear.
Speaker:It all continues to exist
on this event horizon
Speaker:timeline.
Speaker:And why this is really fascinating
to me is because first of all,
Speaker:it's really regenerating our
idea of what a black hole is,
Speaker:that it's not disappearing
into nothingness,
Speaker:but that it is this
generative create force.
Speaker:One that we're still really understanding
what actually happens within a
Speaker:black hole, what is
coming out the other side?
Speaker:Is there another side?
Speaker:We know that things do come back
out of black holes eventually,
Speaker:that the information still exists there.
Speaker:So what I will say about this
and why I think this is such a
Speaker:powerful affirmation to come
in after me receiving this
Speaker:image is that just like black holes,
Speaker:there's a lot of mystery in
this upcoming year. And it's not
Speaker:necessarily because there's things
that need to be veiled for us,
Speaker:but it's because things
are still being decided.
Speaker:Timelines are still changing,
potentials are still coming into being.
Speaker:And so it's a bit right now, we
are going into this black hole.
Speaker:We are going to this void of like we
don't know what's going to happen.
Speaker:We don't know what's going
to happen on the other side,
Speaker:what's going to come out of this?
We know that we're not looking at
Speaker:an extinction, we're not
going into nothingness,
Speaker:but that we're going into a space
where the potential lives for
Speaker:timelines to change and where the not
Speaker:knowing is actually a blessing.
Because when we don't know,
Speaker:it means we can be in a
greater space of creation.
Speaker:It means that what's going to
happen is not yet set in stone.
Speaker:And that our commitment
to our own soul's journey
Speaker:and to the things that light us up,
Speaker:that is actually an important part of
forging what comes next for our world.
Speaker:It's essential for that.
Speaker:So if in any way you can in this
next year or moving into this year
Speaker:befriend the void as a creative place,
Speaker:as the thing that's going to bring you
into even remembering your commitments in
Speaker:this lifetime, it goes both ways,
right? When you step into the mystery,
Speaker:you encounter the
mystery of your own self.
Speaker:So this is to say that there might be
some serious black hole moments this
Speaker:upcoming year,
Speaker:but as someone who just
lived through a very big
Speaker:black hole experience
surviving Hurricane Helene,
Speaker:where I live in the mountains
of Western North Carolina,
Speaker:I'm going to tell you that surviving
a black hole moment, a really,
Speaker:really huge life-changing moment,
Speaker:there is a really powerful soul
energizing soul forging aspect
Speaker:to it.
Speaker:There's a divine clarity and
redirection that can come
Speaker:out of those moments. So this is a gift.
Ultimately it's a gift.
Speaker:So how do we work with this? You're
like, okay, Asia, like the golden ring,
Speaker:black holes, commitments be
defending the mystery. What do I do?
Speaker:This image?
Speaker:Now I'm holding in my mind of the golden
ring moving into this year of deep
Speaker:potential powerful passage
change and recommitment.
Speaker:How do I work with this? Well,
Speaker:I want to bring in my own
experiences of guiding people in
Speaker:journey work and in hypnosis,
Speaker:because my experiences when I was
working with people in these altered
Speaker:states is that there would many times be
Speaker:experiences where people entered into
the void and nothing was happening.
Speaker:And it was disappointing for them, right?
They'd be like, why am I in this void?
Speaker:Nothing is happening.
I don't see anything.
Speaker:It's just black and quiet and
nothing. And my experience with that,
Speaker:for folks who have these void experiences
in journey work or in trans work or
Speaker:hypnosis or meditation,
Speaker:is that the void is often the
thing that happens before the leap.
Speaker:And what I say to them when I guide
folks in this way is I often say,
Speaker:do you see or feel anything
Speaker:at all, even if it's the
slightest little thing?
Speaker:And if you do whatever you see or feel,
Speaker:that is what you're meant to move towards.
Speaker:And so it's almost like
attuning to the subtlest little
Speaker:hints and clues here. And
then moving towards that,
Speaker:there's going to be a clarifying piece
here of opening oneself when you're
Speaker:in a experience of seeing and
attuning to whatever that subtle thing
Speaker:is that you do sense or
know or hear or feel,
Speaker:and then moving towards that.
Speaker:And so here's a guideline
for you through this year,
Speaker:is this invitation to reconnect, to
original what I'm calling original desire.
Speaker:And that is the thing that
is propelling you forward,
Speaker:the irresistible pull,
Speaker:that gravity almost that
exists inside of a black hole.
Speaker:What is the irresistible pull in your
life that is just like, you can't,
Speaker:can't help but be intrigued by it,
fascinated by it, want to move towards it.
Speaker:Maybe it doesn't make sense, but
you're just like, I don't know,
Speaker:it's that thing or that avenue,
that person not that inspiration.
Speaker:I want you to trust the original desire
and the irresistible pull to trust it
Speaker:and let the gravity of that be here
to hold you and know that you won't be
Speaker:dropped as you move towards
it. Because the fear,
Speaker:especially when it's something
that is, I don't know,
Speaker:a little left field or maybe
uncharted, we can feel like, well,
Speaker:if I start moving towards
that, I'm just going to drop.
Speaker:But to know that you're held as you
move towards those irresistible poles,
Speaker:they're really important.
Speaker:So I invite you to maybe make a list of
the things you're feeling pulled towards
Speaker:right now. And if you don't have
that or there's nothing on the list,
Speaker:then think about yourself as a
child or earlier in your life.
Speaker:What were your obsessions?
Speaker:What were your passions during
this more innocent original times
Speaker:in your life? What were the things
that you were deeply fascinated by?
Speaker:Often that list can show us or give
us clues for what is the original
Speaker:desire inside of us, the
original desire of our souls.
Speaker:So this year I have this feeling that
it's going to be less about working
Speaker:really hard to build something,
Speaker:although you might work really
hard and you might build something,
Speaker:but that the driving energy through
which the building will come is
Speaker:surrendering to the pole.
Speaker:And it's like you'll go much further if
you just surrender to what is pulling
Speaker:you ahead. And
Speaker:the phrase came through that it's like
the irresistible poles are what is going
Speaker:to bring us through the event horizon.
That's what we call this red
Speaker:ring that surrounds these black holes.
Speaker:And I like this in particular because one
Speaker:of the things about event horizons
is it seems like time and space
Speaker:ceases to exist, which is cool.
Speaker:But I think this is
helpful when we have some,
Speaker:there might be some really big
events this year, global events,
Speaker:that's the feeling that I get.
And when something big happens,
Speaker:especially something that feels like
unbalancing or upsetting or off kilter,
Speaker:to reframe it as like
this is an event horizon,
Speaker:that this event horizon is actually
something that is working with the
Speaker:timeline of this planet, and it's
pulling me towards my soul's calling.
Speaker:It's showing me what's most important,
what my work is in this lifetime,
Speaker:and it's pulling me into what I
would like to rename black holes as,
Speaker:which is the generative space that is
unknown. It's like pulling me into the
Speaker:generative space that is unknown.
Speaker:So when these events happen
and they feel like upsetting or
Speaker:unbalancing, like think of
them instead of as events.
Speaker:This is an event horizon through which
I'm being shown what is most important
Speaker:for me, and I'm being pulled
into this generative space,
Speaker:inner space and outer
space that is unknown,
Speaker:but that is ultimately here to help
me birth the next era of my life.
Speaker:I think it's also really important this
year to have some practices that are all
Speaker:about befriending the
mystery. What does that mean?
Speaker:To befriend the mystery?
Speaker:To really feel like the mystery is a force
Speaker:that is benevolent, that is caring
for you, that cares for you.
Speaker:So some things that come to mind for
me are spending time in darkness,
Speaker:maybe just having the
evening be by candlelight or
spending time outside and the
Speaker:darkness meditating with the void,
Speaker:like having a meditation
practice where you are,
Speaker:imagine yourself floating in the void,
Speaker:floating in stillness. Maybe you even
have a flotation tank company near you
Speaker:where you can go float in darkness.
Speaker:But any of these practices of
connecting into that space,
Speaker:like the zazen meditation of just
the focus on the nothingness,
Speaker:the void, that generative space,
Speaker:any of these practices are going to be
really helpful as we move into this year
Speaker:ahead, where so much is unknown,
but so much is like being forged,
Speaker:and you're a part of that forging.
Speaker:You are creating that forging by
being willing to pay attention to the
Speaker:irresistible poles in your own life,
Speaker:being open to the mystery and committing
to your own soul and your own soul's
Speaker:journey into remembering what
those original commitments are.
Speaker:So leave space for the mystery, leave
space for the potential and the unfolding,
Speaker:and know that no thingness,
Speaker:this is really just a space
where something new can
Speaker:arise. So especially if you're in a
space where some of it feels unknown or
Speaker:undefined,
Speaker:that there's so much here that
is coming out of this space,
Speaker:of this void space, and that ultimately,
this is the heart of life's mystery,
Speaker:that when you're touching these
void spaces in your own life or
Speaker:you feel like you're in a black hole,
Speaker:you are touching the heart
of the mystery of existence,
Speaker:which is that out of
nothingness arises something.
Speaker:And that's powerful. That's very,
very powerful to connect to.
Speaker:So if it feels good to do so
literally imagine putting that ring
Speaker:on. You can feel its warmth, its weight,
Speaker:and just sink into this phrase,
Speaker:which is something my guides told me as
I was closing out my meditation to bring
Speaker:in the information re's image,
which is that you are supported.
Speaker:You are so, so supported.
And the more you feel that,
Speaker:and the more you surrender
to it, the more you trust it,
Speaker:the more you will be held.
So the more you surrender,
Speaker:the more you can trust. And so it
doesn't necessarily have to come first,
Speaker:right? You don't have to trust first.
Speaker:You can start surrendering and then the
trust will come because you'll see that
Speaker:you're held, you're void.
You are within this space,
Speaker:this generative void.
Speaker:So this year might require some courage,
Speaker:but I think that that is
a really powerful thing.
Speaker:There's no doubt about it, right?
Speaker:This year is calling for
us to step in with courage,
Speaker:courage to face the unknown courage,
Speaker:the courage that it takes to surrender
to that irresistible pull in your life.
Speaker:But this ultimately is a remaking,
it's a forging, it's a reorganization,
Speaker:a remembering, literally putting
back together a recommitment.
Speaker:And through this year,
Speaker:you'll be able to touch some
of the original timeline
that has been in place for
Speaker:your life,
Speaker:the original timeline when that was
embedded into this plan for your
Speaker:one sacred, precious, amazing,
Speaker:unfolding magical life.
And so that's what can come
Speaker:out of the generative mystery
of this upcoming year,
Speaker:just through making this commitment to
your own self and your own unfolding.
Speaker:So that is my reading for
: Speaker:If part of your plans for
: Speaker:a business or stepping into the
next phase of your business,
Speaker:we are doing our yearly sale on my
business course called Business As a
Speaker:Spiritual Journey. And if you're
listening to this live or real time,
Speaker:then this is going to start, the
sale is going to start next week,
Speaker:so you can tune into that.
Speaker:And if you're listening to this later and
the sale is not happening, no worries,
Speaker:the course is available year round.
Speaker:But if you are here in
listening in January,
Speaker:then definitely tune into that sale.
Speaker:If you have a business and it is
something that you are ready to
Speaker:have your business carry you through the
Speaker:uncertainty of the times ahead,
Speaker:through the generative mystery
of what's about to happen and the
Speaker:timelines that are shifting and changing,
Speaker:and the commitment that soul forging
inside of you that is driving you the
Speaker:irresistible pull. If you have an
irresistible pull to step into creating a
Speaker:business or to uplevel your business,
then I'd love to see you there.
Speaker:So thank you so much for watching.
Thank you so much for listening,
Speaker:and thank you so much for
all the commitments that
you are making to yourself,
Speaker:to your path, to your
passion, to your purpose,
Speaker:because it all matters so much
in the making of this world.
