Lailah: Guardian Angel of Darkness

dive into discovery of you and your past, present, and future. All told, it makes a month seem a bit short. Sophia will guide you through every day so you can follow the clues, look for the signs, and know when and where you are dealing with different points on your own personal timeline. I know that I personally could spend a year working through reflections and still want more (but then I’m a giant nerd). Prepare to buy some new books, take some new classes, and have your journal and a pen ready—Sophia would love for you to take notes. Maybe do some wrist-loosening exercises before you start this one—see you on the other side of the looking glass.

Lailah: Guardian of Darkness

We all spend time in the dark; darkness is a natural state of our existence. Without it, we would have no understanding of light. To say that darkness is only the absence of light wildly misunderstands the healing and transformative properties darkness holds. We all come from the dark, and in many respects it creates us—it gives us a protected space to grow, expand, and gain consciousness. It is within this sacred space of burgeoning life that you will find guardian Lailah, whose job is to guide us through our time in the dark.

We all respond differently in the dark. Not one of us has the exact same experience in the quiet, secure space darkness creates for us. Lailah knows this well and is able to make sure each of us is attended to in the way we require and need. That said, you might find it interesting that you probably won’t have your initial meeting with this guardian in the dark—instead, you will meet her in the light, on a bright sunny day where everything around seems perfect and complete. It’s the day before all hell breaks loose in your life. I know this information makes her sound more like some sort of harbinger than a guardian, but bear with me.

For the most part, we are not good at sustaining happiness. So many of us believe that joy and happiness are capped, limited, and there is only so much that can go around. So when we have a day or even a couple of days that seem too good to be true, our ego minds get fearful and stir up trouble. That trouble can manifest in arguing with our spouse, co-worker, or friend. We could even feel guilty for experiencing such happiness and joy. Or—my personal favorite and the one that usually triggers Lailah to show up in my life—we become very suspicious about all the good in our life and start actively looking

for places where things will go wrong. These games our ego minds play are often called sabotage triggers. When we are in the midst of one, the guardian of darkness will be there to help us navigate the swirling emotions that have come to rain on our happiness parade.

When we’re feeling fearful that the good times won’t last is not the only time Lailah can show up in our lives. Having worked with this guardian for a long time now, I know firsthand that she is also a wonderful healer and will open the darkness for you to rest, restore, and reset. In this respect she is an introvert’s best friend: she loves crawling into a pillow fort with a good book and blocking out the noise of the world. Because the dark is complex and doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all energy to it, you will learn more about darkness in Lailah’s chapter then you ever have before. Even I learned some new tricks. No matter what your current relationship with the dark is, Lailah will be there to hold your hand, steady you, and show you everything you need to learn or heal when you set foot in her domain. Her energy is like a warm hug, a soft tender energy that makes you suddenly feel safe and secure. I like to think of the feeling she brings as a warm jam doughnut that has just been rolled in sugar and cinnamon. She brings a pillowy soft place to land, wrapped in a blanket of darkness, sprinkled with hope, love, and boundless possibilities.

Now that you’ve met the crew and learned more about who they are, what they do, and where in your life they might be floating around. Next, it’s time to turn this page and start your own personal journey. Start wherever you are, in whichever month and day it is, flip to that spot, and let your year of magic and miracles begin.
