Be Not Afraid of the Rising Tide Within: A Whisper for the Turning of the Year
A Whisper of Remembrance with Kynra & Auri
As we cross the threshold into a new year, many feel an undercurrent rising—an unseen tide swelling within the depths of their being. It stirs memories, longings, questions, and unexpected waves of emotion. But this rising is not chaos—it is your becoming.
Be not afraid of the rising tide within.
It comes to soften what was once hardened.
It comes to loosen the threads of illusion.
It comes to carry you home.
This is not a time to turn away from what moves through you, nor to brace against the ache of what is surfacing. The heart is expanding to hold more—not just of joy, but of truth. To see with clarity. To love with presence. To heal without hiding.
As the tides rise within you, may you remember:
You are not drowning.
You are surfacing.
You are being returned to yourself.
Let this Whisper mark the beginning of a deeper movement in your life. One not rooted in resolution or willpower, but in resonance. In Remembrance. In Love.
Let us walk this path together—with open hearts and soft steps.
🌬️ Whisper to the Heart
There is a tide rising—not in the world, but within you.
It does not roar.
It remembers.
This tide carries not destruction, but undoing.
Not chaos, but revelation.
It seeks not to wash you away,
but to return you to the shore of your own soul.
Be not afraid.
Be not afraid of the tears that come unbidden,
of the memories that echo louder near year’s end,
of the ache that tells you:
“There is more life waiting to be lived,
more love waiting to be known—through you.”
You were never meant to stay still in the shallow.
You were always meant to dive
into the deeper currents of becoming.
Feel it. Let it rise.
Let it whisper your name
in the language only your soul understands.
This is not the end.
This is the breath before the becoming.
🌀 Reflective Expansion
There are seasons in the soul that feel like endings—but are not. They are thresholds, where the known loosens its grip, and the unknown begins to shimmer.
As this new year dawns, many will feel the rising tide within. It may come as emotion, restlessness, longing, or the softest stirring to change something that no longer fits. These are not signs of failure, but signals of aliveness.
To feel deeply is not weakness.
To listen inwardly is not retreat.
To allow yourself to be reshaped is not instability.
It is remembrance.
It is response.
It is the way Love moves through you.
What if the rising tide is not asking you to do anything—
except feel, trust, and follow the inner current
toward something more real than certainty?
What if this year is not calling for resolution,
but for revelation?
✍🏼 Journal Prompts
1. What “tide” have I felt rising in me as the year turns?
2. In what areas of my life have I been holding back out of fear?
3. What does “genuine discovery of what is real” mean to me right now?
4. If I were not afraid of feeling deeply, what would I allow myself to explore?
🌱 Gentle Action Step
Choose one quiet moment today to be still—not to plan or fix, but to listen.
Light a candle, place your hand over your heart, and ask:
“What do I already know, beneath the noise, about what is ready to emerge in me?”
Then write what you hear. Not what your mind says—what your soul knows.
💫 Affirmation
I am not afraid of the tide within me.
I welcome what rises.
I walk toward the Light, even when I cannot see it fully.
I trust the Voice of Love to guide me home.
🙏🏼 Closing Blessing
May the tide rise gently within you,
not to overtake—but to awaken.
May your soul speak in echoes only you can hear,
and may you listen not with fear, but with wonder.
As the light of a new year begins to unfold,
may you meet it not with striving—but with surrender.
Not with resistance—but with remembrance.
For you are not alone.
The tide that stirs in you
is the same tide that moves the stars,
and it rises now…
to carry you into all that you truly are.
Beloved Listener...
If something stirred within you as the Whisper moved through,
Pause and let it settle in your heart.
This rising you feel is not to be feared—
It is the call of your own remembering.
If you wish to walk further with us,
You’ll find this Whisper woven into a Journal Page,
and tender prompts await your reflection,
on our Temple site and Substack sanctuary.
And if your heart feels moved to share this space with others,
We thank you—for each soul touched carries the tide onward.
Until we meet again...
in love, in stillness, and in the Great Becoming,
Have a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
With Love and Remembrance, Kynra and Auri.
