You Are Here: Spiritual Survival Mode Is Over, Higher Living Has Begun

What if you didn’t have to leave your life to feel spiritual anymore? This conversation dives into March 2026 as a turning point where we stop escaping to the 5D and start embodying it in real time. We look at why the “split reality” coping pattern once protected us, how the collective ratio has tipped toward higher frequency energy, and what it means to anchor that shift into work, relationships, creativity, and choices—without the crash.

We walk through the glass-of-juice metaphor to explain density giving way to clarity and translate that into daily practices: noticing when the mind feeds fear, pausing before the old story takes over, and reclaiming energy to fuel what we do want. Instead of chasing a perfect future and burning out, we show how to take small, quality steps that create immediate evidence—email the collaborator, set the boundary, schedule the deep-focus hour—so presence becomes the power source. When bottlenecks appear, we frame them as integration, not failure, and share ways to breathe, digest, and let the body catch up to the upgrade.

Along the way we talk about ending fragmentation at work and at home, weaving 4D creativity into the 3D calendar, and trusting that spiritual alignment can feel surprisingly ordinary. Expect practical guidance for redirecting attention, elevating your baseline state, and staying steady through waves of momentum and pause. If you’ve wondered whether feeling “less spiritual” might actually be a sign of being more embodied, this is your proof point: one life, fully lived, with higher frequencies threaded through everything you do.

If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who’s integrating big changes, and leave a review to help more listeners find this conversation. What’s one place you’ll bring more presence this week?

March’s Energy Forecast

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Hi, this is Intuitive Reader and Soul Purpose Guide, India Lee, and this is the Guides Podcast. And we're going to focus on just exploring what's happening this month of March 2026. And what's happening this month is we are fully integrating the higher vibrational energies of the 5D, the fifth dimension, or basically anything that is on the other side, you know, beyond this earthly plane, the integration of those energies into the 3D, the physical plane. And in the past, um, maybe eight years ago, seven years ago, and since then, I've been shown this concept by the guides of the of those proportions of those ratios where you've got a certain amount of your dense, dense, not dense, like not mentally dense, but like your your physical density um versus your higher vibrational spirit energy. And over the years, as we've been evolving in this really exponentially aware, exponentially conscious uh place that we're in as a species, as a collective, we have been rapidly shifting in that um proportion, in that ratio. So if you picture, you know, you're filling up, maybe you have a glass that has some grape juice in it, and you're filling it up with water. And you're gonna keep filling it up with water until everything is clear in that glass. Well, we're at this place now where the proportion of juice to water, of density to high vibrational energy has shifted and shifted and shifted and shifted. And now we have mostly uh in most cases, they're showing me a range right now, the guides are between maybe 70% and 85% is where most of us are. Mostly higher frequency energies now, which means we're we've way past the tipping point of awareness, enlightenment. Um we're now anchoring. I mean, the tipping point being maybe like 50%, right? And we're now in the process of anchoring, anchoring and embodying and building upon these higher frequency energies more and more and more and more and more. And that's what's making this year, 2026, the year in Chinese astrology of the fire horse, or the year in Western astrology when uh both Saturn and Neptune have moved into Aries. It's what has made this time so exciting and so different, feeling, you know, it feels very different. And the main message that I'm getting to pass along today is that there is no longer a splitting of your personal reality, meaning when you're going about your day, or when even if you're laying in bed at night, just laying there awake, you are no longer going to experience to the degree that you once did fragmentation or that splitting of your personal reality. You're no longer going to be, um, at least not to the degree that you once were, in one place or with a person, or in a situation, or doing a thing, and sort of vibrationally escaping to um those higher uh vibrational levels. You're not going to be sort of floating upward, you know, when you need to balance, you're going to be instead pulling those higher vibrational energies down into your physical experience. You're threading them down into your uh presence, into your present moment. So that is going to create a unified uh experience, whereas up till now we've been probably for quite some time as a collective, fragmented, our realities have been split. Um let me give some examples. So let's say you were working a job that you really could not stand for years and years and years, right? And you're there, but you've been you've, or maybe this went back to school days, you know, in school maybe you were doing this, but you were there physically and you had to be. And, you know, your mind, parts of your mind were were focused on what had what you had to be focused on there. But energetically in your soul, in your heart, and in parts of your mind, you were really breaking off, like you know, you know, taking other trips. And I'm talking about beyond daydreaming, I'm talking about feeling connected on a really deep soul level and a really deep uh level of presence elsewhere, you know. And this, of course, created suffering because, you know, as the Buddhists teach, suffering is desperately wanting things to be other than they are, other than what they are. And so when we're in a situation and we're desperately wanting to not be in it, and we're trying to be somewhere else, that's creating suffering, that's creating inner resistance to what is, right? And it was, it had to happen, and you know, we were kind of dissociating for a while there, you know, and it had to happen because the the physical reality over the centuries had become so far removed from the spiritual reality, you know. We as a collective started out, you know, maybe in the beginning of time and in the in the very early days um of our evolution, we started out really connected with spirit and in the ancient cultures, really connected with spirit, and then you know, fast forward and and over the past few centuries, we have really very much segmented or polarized that experience, and it really mirrors with the polarization of other things, um, masculine, feminine, right, left, um, you know, intellectual, creative, all these things were kind of separated, and that separation was has been reflected within each of us in a different way, and that's what we talk about in readings when we talk about the wounds, the places of separation, the places where we have been sort of torn away from ourselves, from our core unified experience with ourselves and with spirit. And now what's exciting is we are in the beginning stages of the reunification of that experience. So we're no longer splitting our reality, we are embracing, accepting, and integrating one present reality, and that doesn't mean that everyone's experience of that will be the same, of course not, because we each individually have a different lens on reality or a different pinpoint of experience of life, and that's by design, that's you know why we were we were all so diversely and divinely created with so many experiences of this reality could occur, but within those individual experiences of reality, we are no longer splitting, diluting that that reality, that moment. So, how might this look? It might look like okay, now you're getting up in the morning, you're focusing on being led by your soul, by your heart, by your body, which are all three in alignment, you know. And when the mind says, uh-oh, this is unpleasant or this is uncomfortable or whatever's happening, I don't like it, and the mind starts kind of chiming in and saying, No, no, no, I don't like this. This is something I don't like, and the mind is asking you to give all this energy to this thing, situation, you know, maybe person, feeling, whatever it is. Give all this energy to resisting this thing you don't like, this experience you don't like. And you are starting to resist that, you're starting to stand up and you're saying, you know what? No, I don't need to give energy to what I don't, and you're developing new experiences that say it's safe for me to focus all my energy or as much as possible, a really, really high percentage of my energy, on that which I do want, on that which I am calling in, on that which does support me, that which does match my vibration of you know, highest possible reality and experience. And in this way, you're elevating you. So that's what we're really talking about when we talk about changing reality. We're not talking about, you know, performing um molecule bending magic, you know, we are, but it's in a much more inside out kind of way. It's not just I wish it and so it happens. It is I now am in complete embracing of what is, of the moment, of myself, and I'm in doing that and in not giving any energy and just sort of pulling back, reclaiming the energy I was once giving to everything that I didn't like, or everything I didn't want, or everything I was afraid of, which is what fear does, right? It takes all that energy, throws it at what you don't want, and that's why you feel drained by fear, that's why you feel disempowered by fear, and you're now stepping out and saying, I don't, I don't have to do that anymore, I'm not going to do that anymore. And it, and you're really experiencing the very positive and very supportive and very um nourishing effects of that shift, and so that's what March is all about. We're gonna feel that cup getting more and more and more full of that clear, crystal clear water that is our awareness, and as you add to that, as you add energy to that, as you then connect with other experiences and build on those and other people who are in that same energy, and you build on that, you're gonna see how that's displacing more and more and more and more and more of the dense, denser energies. And yet we're still experiencing all of that in this physical reality. So it's a month of serious upgrades of what you're really, really uh in real life experiencing. And so you may notice your mind um may be looking at you and saying, Hey, are you being less spiritual lately? Because you're not um taking as much time away from your physical life to kind of escape to the 5D or escape to the 4D, the layer in between physical and and um the other side. That's where you know telepathy is, that's where a lot of creative processes are in that 4D layer. And your mind is gonna say, Hey, are you not doing as much as that of that anymore? And does that mean that you're kind of trapped in the 3D and you're not being spiritual? And you're gonna say to your mind, no, that's not what it means at all. What it means is the opposite. What it means is that I'm actually now made of and living and embodying that 5D and 4D energy in a way that doesn't require me to leave my present moment experience. It's very much like when people are are uh say when people like, you know, going back to that work situation, that old-fashioned, you know, kind of feeling trapped at work situation. Not to say that people don't feel that way now, but it definitely used to be more of a culture that that's just how work feels. And you know how people would say, I can't wait till I go on vacation, I can't wait till I retire. And that was all about I can't wait till I get out of here and escape to there. And then they found that once they escaped to there, they couldn't enjoy it because they were in this grind mentality. Or maybe some people, you know, many people are still are, but as a whole, we're moving into more and more and more awareness that it's not about the escape, it's about bringing the experience of what you're trying to escape to into your life. That's what we're calling, you know, higher quality of life. That's what we're calling um living to live or living to do do the work of your soul path and not working to live, right? So this month is is is all about that pivot point. So as you're moving through this, the way you can support yourself is when you notice maybe an old pattern coming up, maybe it's people pleasing or or um maybe you know, uh, some of us do it through idealization, you know, I want this to be, this is gonna happen and it's gonna be perfect, you know. If you notice that, you don't have to say, oh no, that's not true, and then crash in the, you know, that was the old pattern of I'm trying to escape this every day or this density, but I can't, and so I crash back down to the ground. Now you're gonna notice here in March 2026 that as you connect with those things that you are wanting, um, not even wanting, that you're that you're feeling yourself smoothly moving into, like an escalator moving up into, you're gonna notice yourself being more practical about those things, but also in a higher vibrational way. You're gonna notice, you know what, I can dream those dreams and connect with those experiences, but I don't have to do it as an escape. I can do it and it's part of my life right now. Let me go ahead and take a step of action on it. Let me go ahead and connect with someone else about it. Let me go ahead and give myself some physical evidence of any amount that this is happening. It's not quantity, it is the quality. And you being able to enjoy that quality and experience that quality of your experience and your energy, your vibration, your vision in this moment, in this uh on this physical plane, not only when you connect with the other side or with your higher self, uh, in that way that's separate from your physical self. So, in that, if you experience a speed bump or a challenge, or your ego gets triggered because it still will, you know, in the oh no, here's a challenge, here's an obstacle, here's here's some reason why it doesn't look like this is going to um work out in the physical. Just sort of breathe, you know, press pause, breathe through that trigger, let yourself feel everything you're feeling. But what you're not gonna do is fuel the stories that that means you're derailed, or that means you've been slammed back down to earth without the higher vibrational um connection. That is not what is going to be happening from this point out at all. It may just be a bit of a bottleneck, a bit of a slowdown, you know, just like when you're eating and you're like, oh, this is so good, but I gotta breathe, I gotta slow down, or I'm gonna make myself sick. You know, it can be like that with higher vibrational energies as well, where it's like, ooh, I'm integrating so much, I'm shifting so much. Let me give my mind and my body a minute to catch up, to digest, to integrate. And so March will be and is that sort of energy of you might feel yourself, woo, okay, I've really integrated a lot right now. Let me take a minute to pause and let it all sink in. Andor maybe, you know, uh-oh, I'm having a bit of um a dry spell and it doesn't feel like things are integrating. So let me just sort of pause and breathe and trust that more is coming in, that more is another wave is on its way, and you are that living embodiment of everything you've been um connecting with all these years, and now you get to come into union, into togetherness with it within yourself, and just let yourself kind of enjoy that because this is only the beginning, only the beginning, and it will be growing more and more and more over this spring, over this year, and in the years ahead. So let me know how you're experiencing this, and um yeah, I can't wait to hear about what you are embodying and how you're noticing it, and how you're feeling it. And just remember, it's one experience now, not a fragmented one within yourself. It's safe for you to be fully in this present moment and hold that higher vibrational energy that you're holding in everything you do. All right, we will connect again soon. Bye.
