Emma Liston is best known for her "magical" ability that goes beyond traditional energy healing. As the heart of Being-Magic, she works with both humans and animals, though animals are her true passion. Calling herself an “animal kingdom guardian,” she sees her work as a life purpose, using her unique gifts to bring comfort to those she helps.
There comes a time when the old world no longer fits, when the noise, the rush, the constant doing begin to scrape against the edges of the soul. Many of us are feeling it now, the strange dissonance of living in a world built on separation, while our hearts remember something else, something softer. We sense the hum beneath the chaos, the quiet whisper of the Earth calling us home.
To live aligned in a world that isn’t is not about retreat or rebellion. It’s about remembrance. It’s the choice to keep your heart open even when it aches, to walk slowly when the world demands speed, and to live as though every breath, every word, and every act of kindness reshapes the collective field because it does.
We are being asked to remember what we’ve always known, that everything is energy, and energy responds to intention. The universal laws we once saw as mystical are simply reflections of this truth, what we send out returns. What we believe, we become. What we imagine, we create.
So, to the sensitives, the dreamers, the healers, the guardians of Earth, this article is for you. This is a remembering of what it means to live aligned, even when the world around us has forgotten.
The great forgetting and remembering
As humanity has traversed this earthly plane over the eons, we've forgotten who and what we are, especially that we are a part of nature, and not separate from it. We’ve become entangled in the illusions of identity, separation, and consumption, and have forgotten the 12 Universal Laws that govern all. It is said that everything is connected, and as we walk this path where the current world seems far too harsh for some of us, we literally see the interconnectedness of all things.
Because the more we disconnect from Source, nature, one another, and even ourselves, the more the outer world we see simply reflects this “disconnection” back to us. And now, the great remembering is well underway. Creation is no longer random. Consciousness is choosing through us. We begin to see that when we honour the life in everything, everything begins to heal.
We’ve been in a kind of slumber, now awakening to the true nature of reality. Things have become rather distorted as we have veered off path, but in the universe, there is always balance, which is why the world seems to be unravelling at this time.
We’ve been living mainly from the head, doing, pursuing, producing, consuming, and chasing material wealth (at the expense of peace and harmony in many cases), and now we are returning to a more heart-centred way of being. The heart is the true compass in a collapsing world, as when we return to love, balance is restored because we return to our natural state of being.
I believe a huge piece of this remembering is imagination. Most of us have been taught that our imagination is well imaginary. But when we are children, we live in our imaginations. We talk to unseen friends, we live in awe and wonder in each moment, and we believe that anything and everything is possible. Imagination is not an escape. It is the architect of reality. Every structure, every piece of music, every artwork of beauty began as a spark in the unseen. When we dare to imagine from love instead of fear, we begin to rebuild the world from within. It’s time to remember this is literally our creative force, the place where everything is visualised before it becomes physical. The imagination is not childish, silly, or unreal. It is the key to creating our world. It is divine intelligence.
Included in this remembering are the animals and our planet, our sacred mirrors of unconditional love. They hold within them what we humans are learning to remember. That love lives within us, too. They guide us back to presence, with love and reverence, and back to our hearts as we move away from the ego-mind way of doing things. Gaia herself is also guiding us back to love, asking us to remember we are a part of her, a part of nature, as this connection starts to come back online. Honouring the animals and Gaia as equals is part of this. No one is better than the other. We are all souls in different suits. We are one.
As mentioned in prior articles, this remembrance lives also in seeing that the body is a divine technology, not a “failing meat suit” as allopathic medicine would have us believe. It is a self-healing, self-tuning instrument, if we can only begin to listen to it once more. We remember we are more than just physical, we are energy first, and part of this remembrance is allowing frequency and vibration to guide us, as we remember that there is so much more than what we see.
Living in alignment
So what do we do? Well, there is actually nothing to do. This is rather about being. Living aligned is not about perfection, but about practicing daily, gentle choices that return us to harmony.
Slow down
This is something that takes getting used to because we live in a world full of deadlines and to-do lists. But you are not present when you are rushing, and you cannot connect to yourself when you are distracted. The world needs your pause rather than your pushing. In fact, the only place you actually have any power is in the present moment.
Listen and get quiet
This ties into slowing down, because once you slow down, you notice how busy your mind is, and often, it’s rather uncomfortable in the silence. But the silence is the only place you will hear your inner voice/guidance. You cannot hear your soul, your thoughts, or your body in the noise, nor can you hear others when they might be reaching out for help. It’s time to get quiet and turn away from the distractions.
Detach from fear
This is a big one, just look at the news. We cannot return to love if we are living in fear. Once you have slowed and silenced the outer world, you will notice how, when you see a headline or hear something that would normally elicit fear, you start to be able to see past that fear. You are able to question your reaction, and you can start to respond rather than react. This is a game-changer. Remember that we create our reality, so if everyone is living in fear, that is what we create more of.
Speak your truth and speak from the heart
This is about more than just being authentic when you are communicating. Even if others find your words triggering as you are delivering them, your words can still plant seeds that sprout later. There has been too much deception, and it’s time for each and every one of us to speak our truth and to remember that our truth may be very different from the truth of another. It’s time to accept all viewpoints as valid, as everyone experiences their reality through their own filters and beliefs.
If this is a bridge too far for you right now, you can still share your voice/vision in a different way, because just your presence can be enough. Additionally, if you have art or any other creations that you’d like to share with the world that allow others to see your true essence, all of this can spark remembrance. By tapping into your creative power and sharing what you create with others, you are doing enough. Think of these as sacred acts of activism. They’re quiet, and their silence ripples through the collective field much more than you realise.
You’re not broken, you’re returning to wholeness
You are one of the “new humans” who remembers healing is not fixing what is broken, it’s simply remembering what we already are. We are the bridges through which the Divine learns to love itself in form, and together, we forge the path to our new Earth.
To those who still feel deeply, you are not broken. You are the pulse of what’s being born. When you live aligned in a world that isn’t, you become the bridge between what is and what’s to come. You are the song the Earth still remembers.
I mentioned that our power is in the present moment. When you are present, you start to reconnect with the power within. For everyone reading this - that has visions of a better, kinder, more beautiful Earth - know that the power to create this magical world is not only possible, but you have the power to do so. When you are present, you become more intentional, and you focus your energy on what you want, rather than unconsciously thinking about everything that is wrong. Pause. Tune into your heart. Imagine. Speak. Then watch the magic unfold.
Connect with others who feel as you do
If something in these words has stirred a remembrance within you, I invite you to connect. Book a call or join my YouTube community, where I share insights, experiences, and tools for living aligned. Together, we are building a sanctuary of like-hearted souls walking this path of remembrance.
