Solar Storms, Grounding, and Staying Open


Dear Reader,

I've been feeling the collective weight, just as I'm sure you have. It's taking real, deliberate practice for me to maintain the courage to stay open-hearted right now.

On top of everything, the massive solar storms have been impacting the Earth's magnetic field; and that's impacting your heart. It's no wonder if you've felt scattered, agitated, or just plain “off.” When the ground beneath us feels this unstable (energetically and literally), the natural impulse is to shut down.

I want to help us do the opposite.


Invitation: Join Me Live for Sunday's Heartstream

Our weekly “Heartstream” Live session tomorrow is intentionally designed to address this intensity. We will turn toward the overwhelm and share practices for centering, grounding, and protection.

Tomorrow’s Focus: Dealing with Spiritual Overwhelm and the Path to Protection

I will be going deeper into the theme of keeping your heart open when the world feels like it’s falling apart. I will share my own way of dealing with intense emotional energy and feature a special preview of my NEW guided meditation, 'Protected by the Sacred Heart when the world feels broken.'

  • When: Sunday, October 19th at 8:00 AM Pacific / 11:00 AM Eastern
  • Where: Live on my YouTube Channel (@GabrielGonsalves)

The retreat focuses on healing the parts of ourselves that keep us from expressing ourselves fully and authentically. We've just completed the first two days, and it's already been deeply transformative. The work we're doing is based on IFS (Internal Family Systems), a therapeutic framework for understanding, embracing, and...

Have you ever caught yourself doing this? You say you want intimacy, yet the moment someone gets close enough to truly see you—to witness your fears, your wounds, your unpolished edges—you find ways to push them away. You become critical. You get “busy.” You convince yourself they’re not quite right. Or maybe you simply shut down, your body going cold even as your heart aches for connection. If you recognize this pattern, I need you to hear something: you’re not broken. You’re not incapable...

Dear Reader, Earlier this week, my brother sent me an old photograph. A family portrait during a cruise in the Caribbean when I was about nine. We're all smiling at the camera. I'm the little guy in the back, just my head visible, hiding behind everyone else. Back then, that feeling of loneliness and being invisible, even when surrounded by family, felt like a punishment. A curse. Something broken that desperately needed to be fixed. So I tried to fill that void with achievements, endless...
