The Energy Forecast May 2026 invites you to find the magic in the space between by breaking free from boring patterns, following your body’s whispers instead of assumptions, and letting curiosity lead the way.
The Collective Energy Forecast – May 2026
The Magic in the Space Between
Good morning, dear one. Good morning, Bright One. Good morning, Light One. Good morning, lightworker. Good morning, day worker. Good morning, night worker. Good morning.
Sometimes we have to do a pattern interrupt. A pattern interrupt can be anything that stops you from doing the same thing over and over again. So maybe we say something, and then we say something that sounds a little strange, but it makes you pause, think, and wonder what it’s really all about.
Living through Patterns
We will say this: so many of you are living life by a pattern. You get up, make your coffee, go to the gym, go to the bathroom, have breakfast, get ready, and go to work. We are not saying that patterns are wrong, but we will say that patterns are — for lack of a better word, right now — boring.
It is more difficult to see the magic of life when you are living by a pattern, doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result. More than that, you are doing the same thing over and over again because it is a pattern, because it is a habit. There isn’t really a question in many of the things that you do.
Do you ask your body in the morning if it even wants coffee? Do you ask your body in the morning if it wants to go to the gym? Now, this could go either way. Maybe you are someone who doesn’t regularly go to the gym, and you ask the question: Body, do you want to go to the gym today? And your body says yes. Will you follow that? Or will you ignore it again and again because it falls outside your habit?
The surprises of the universe — the magic, the miracles — happen more in the question, in the possibility. Take this morning as an example. Venus had a plan to go to the gym, and when she woke up, her body said no. Instead, today she is writing. And today is not her typical writing day. But this is what we mean. There are going to be times when something else pops up. Will you follow that whisper? Will you trust that seed that has been planted for something different?
A great example of this is driving. How many times do you drive from point A to point B the exact same way you always have, instead of following that whisper that says, Go this other way. Try a different coffee shop. Stay in today. And see what happens.
This is actually a wonderful plan for those of you who need a plan.
If you could plan to not plan, how liberating that would be! Many of you have trained yourselves so well to live by a calendar and a schedule, and we are not saying to throw it all out. We are not saying to stop showing up for work when you need food on your table. But there are going to be days, hopefully on your weekends, when you can let go of the plan, let go of the schedule, and wake up and ask: Who am I today? What grand and glorious adventure would I like to have?
You can ask a question. You can say, What else is possible here? — a great question that Access Consciousness invites all the time. It doesn’t matter how you phrase it. Would you be willing to simply ask a question, just from a place of curiosity? What would be fun for me today? What would be fun for me in the next ten seconds, or in the next hour? Ask, and let the universe surprise you.
There are so many surprises waiting for you in the wings, but some of you are so busy, seven days a week, that you cannot fathom or allow enough space to see the magic and the miracles. Now, we are tricky, and we want you to have magic and miracles anyway, so we bring them to your planned days as well. But we will tell you this: there is far more available in the space between the plan.
This is also true for physical things you may have going on right now. Let’s talk about that for a moment. Let’s say you have some IBS, or a skin condition, or a chronic cough. What often happens when you experience some sort of physical sensation is that you decide it means something specific — usually something bad. I shouldn’t have a chronic cough. Maybe something is wrong with my lungs. Maybe I have pneumonia. Or your skin flares and itches, and you assume you ate the wrong food.
But what if, just maybe, your intestines — when they hurt — are actually trying to give you information? What if your body were an information junkie? It is constantly picking up and sending out signals. Are you listening? Or are you concluding that something bad is happening?
What if there is magic underneath your body’s signals? What if your body’s signals are not the wrong way for your body to be, any more than an unplanned day is the wrong way to live?
Could you look at your body’s signals as a way for it to show you something you’ve been missing, something you need to learn, something you haven’t been paying attention to?
There was once a woman who had horrible IBS. She tried every medical approach, every alternative healing method. Finally, she said, Okay, maybe I’ll try this question thing. She asked, Body, what are you trying to show me? She had an impulse to go to the window. She looked down the street and saw two men fighting. She thought, Body, were you trying to show me that? And her IBS immediately went away.
The body was sending a signal. She had been misinterpreting it. As soon as she acknowledged what it was actually communicating, the signal could finally stop. The body is a brilliant transmitter, a tool available to you, showing you what is happening in the world around and within you.
And again, we come back to where we started: the plan, the schedule, the right way, and the wrong way. These are all things you have been taught. You were taught that if your body was in pain, something was wrong. You were taught to schedule everything and follow it, because that was the right way to live your life. What we are saying is that there is magic in miracles when you stop concluding and start asking. Be curious. Ask, Okay, body, what signal are you giving me today? Ask, Universe, what would you like me to do with this open space I’ve created?
Notice sometimes the crankiness in your body, the signals it sends, are simply saying: I want to move. I want to be outside. I want some sunshine. Or, I don’t really want more coffee today. Can we try something lighter? Something different?
That is our number one invitation to you today. Can you let go — even just a little — of the plan? Can you let go of some of the conclusions you have made that keep you from being curious?
Do you remember when you were a child, and you were curious about everything? You wondered why the sky was blue. You noticed geese flying overhead in spring and again in the fall, and you didn’t yet know what they were called — you just thought, There are those birds again, with that wonderful squawking sound. Or you wondered what was at the very top of the tree you were climbing. You were just curious.
We believe your life would be far more interesting — and maybe even more fun — if you could return to that curiosity. Oh, body, you’re giving me some interesting signals today. What is this? Or: I know I schedule every minute of every day, and if I don’t check everything off my list, I don’t feel accomplished — but what if, instead, I started the morning by asking: What requires my attention today?
This is especially true for those of you running multiple businesses or managing many different areas of life. Do you check in and ask which ones need your attention right now? Which one is calling you?
It is telling that right after we spoke of geese, a flock flew overhead. That is magic. But sometimes you are so busy, so focused on what isn’t working, that you miss the miracle entirely. Those miracles are happening all the time, without fail.
Will you listen? Will you be curious, as you once were, about what possibilities might show up today?
On every day, in every way?
Namaste.
