Shift Into Your Power:
An Attunement and Community Healing Session on July 20, 2025
Revolution and the Struggle for Freedom
Have you felt it? It’s everywhere!
We’re in the biggest time of transition and change that any of us have ever experienced. You may feel powerless in the face of everything happening all around you. You long for freedom for you and for others. Yet it often seems as if the opposite is happening.
You long to shift into your power. As the old structures are not only gripping onto power, but trying to extend it, part of you wants to hold on to the past. At least it’s known, and allows you to feel that you’re in control.
At the same time, a big part of you yearns for freedom. You are ready to move into the future, to ditch all the rules, and create something entirely new.
Some days you may find yourself see-sawing between these two. You may feel your inner creativity welling up, and yet you also notice that you’re trying to control the very process.
You’re ready to shift into your power, or take your next steps in your personal or professional life, but you find that this push-pull of control and freedom is holding you back.

Do you resonate with any of these situations?
- You know that we’re in the midst of a huge transition, but the tensions and the fierceness of the current unraveling are really hard to deal with.
- You have tried to step out of reactivity; you’ve tried not to be affected by the drama. But it’s everywhere, and it’s hard to hold your center.
- You feel your inner creativity bubbling up – but all the tensions and volatility on the outside (and maybe inside too) are holding you back.
- You may find yourself triggered by events and you may keep getting caught up in the drama or fear or anger, and can’t seem to move out.
- You’re ready to “just get on with it!” But you feel stymied on every side, and you long to break free.
- You feel yourself caught between the old way of being – the old structures – and your sure inner knowledge that something new is coming, getting ready to break through. But you just can’t get there.
What you’re feeling is some very potent energy around power, empowerment, and sovereignty .
This entire week (the week of July 14), there is are some very strong power dynamics. There’s equally strong revolutionary energy, healing around victimhood, healing your sense of self, and stepping into power from a heart-centered perspective. Last but not least, there is also some very strong energy of regeneration and new earth.
What you’re experiencing is part of the larger shift in power It’s also a shift in power to the people, which was initiated when Pluto moved into Aquarius.
However, it may not look that way in the 3-D world, as we continue to see the old structures and leaders trying to maintain the old ways with increasingly authoritarian means. It’s rough out there. And it may be especially rough July 14-19, as Mars is in a strong tension with Pluto (exact on the 17th), which can mean brutal and/or violent events. The higher octave — the constructive use of that creative tension — is strong willpower and laser focus.
On the 17th, there are also two other very strong astrological configurations. On the 18th, there is an almost exact Saturn-Neptune meeting that is about bringing in a whole new episode for humanity; it’s also about birthing the new you; spiritual connnection; connecting with the Oneness of all that is, and living from a place of compassion and unconditional love.
If you are part of my attunement community, I will attune you to each of these remotely on the day they occur. That will help you be in the flow with the higher octave of these energies, and help you navigate all that’s happening right now. If you do just this attunement, I will attune you to the We will work with them therapeutically in our session on Sunday.
I will also attune you to the very powerful new moon…
in Leo (sovereignty, connected with the heart), which will happen on the 24th. This new moon has all of these themes, plus some added healing energy, and a lot more. One of the ways power is coming up in this new moon is the power of the individual vs. the power of the state. It couldn’t be more timely for much of the world!
There is so much unprecedented astrology happening — some of which has never happened before in history.
Being attuned to these astrological events will help empower you in your own life as well as the collective. Because of the added influence of Uranus, which just moved into Gemini, these attunements can catapult your personal and spiritual growth. They can also help the collective shift into a power that comes from the heart, and which is in service to the whole.
This session is for anyone who is on a spiritual path who is open to working with astrological archetypes and energies.
We are in the midst of the biggest evolutionary shift humanity has ever seen. I have been guided to offer a series of celebration, attunement, and healing sessions throughout the year to support you in your own personal and spiritual transformation.
This session will help you embrace and make the best use of the huge transformation that these shifts are bringing. It will also support the collective as we are all moving through these times of great change.
If you are a changemaker, and you are committed to moving into higher consciousness, and you are committed to help co-create this new beginning for humanity, this session is for you.
That said, anyone on our planet who is experiencing or has experienced both the contraction and the push toward transformation that we’ve been undergoing will experience the benefits of this session.
If you would like to be part of a community of like-hearted people, and part of a strong container of support and healing, this year’s Attunement Community is still open (It begins and ends with the Aries Equinox in March). Here is the link for more information.
When you register for the Attunement Community package, this session (and all of the other sessions this year) are included, and more.
What is an attunement or alignment and what is its power?
Attunement means to “bring into harmony.” It helps you to be “in tune” with the energies that are strongly affecting us. Alignment means “the proper positioning or state of adjustment of parts in relation to each other.” When you are aligned with the energies, that puts you in sync with them and gives you a greater ability to incorporate the gifts they bring and to use these energies more effectively.
Being attuned or aligned means that you have nature’s support for these shifts. This session will connect you with the opportunities for growth that these events are bringing.
This session will help you:
- Move out of the culture of fear, and into a culture of love, mutuality, and collaboration.
- Recognize that you are not vulnerable and powerless; instead to tap into your courage and insight, as well as trust your own inner wisdom and sovereignty.
- Connect with your own inner resources and light to deal with all that’s going on.
- Let go of the past, so you can step into what’s coming with ease, making both outer and inner space for new beginnings.
- Embrace your inner power and unleash your creativity.
Your Guide: Mary Shields, PhD
Since 2003, I have been working with astrological energies as a healing practitioner. About a decade ago, Spirit gave me the gift of attuning and aligning people with these energies in such a way that they can use them for their greatest benefit and healing. I have been working both individually and in groups in this way ever since.
One of my gifts is creating community, and I now have close to a decade of experience doing it online. For many years, I did these attunements and celebrations via teleconference. Zoom has enhanced our sense of connection and community by adding the ability to see each other as we participate together.
What happens on the call?
This is an energetic and healing session, so the process is not like a workshop or class with exercises. Celebration will begin and end each event. I will begin with opening sacred space. After some information on the cross-quarter festival, I will attune you to the cross-quarter holiday, and I will lead you in a celebration. I will let you know ahead of time what to bring or prepare (for example, I may ask you to have a candle ready to light together).
Next, I will give some information about the astrological event, as well as the challenges and opportunities it brings. We will then dive into the attunement(s) and session, which I will explain as they happen. There will be some short periods of silence. I may ask you to breathe deeply or tap your head, heart, and navel (the three brain centers of the body — to learn more, click here). The last part of the healing session is devoted to the healing of the planet, with all of us participating through holding space. We will end by completing our celebration together.
Generally, you are in a relaxed, receptive state throughout. I do suggest you have a notebook handy for any notes you wish to make. I also suggest that you make sure you are in a private, receptive space.
It is especially powerful if you can be on video for the first part of the call, so we can see and feel each other more directly that way. And not to worry if you can’t be on the call live, or need to be on audio/phone only: if you are registered for the call, you are fully connected into the entire event.
What might you experience during or after the session?
You may or may not feel anything during or after the session. That’s perfectly fine. The energy and healing will still be working in you whether you can feel it or not. Whatever you experience (or don’t experience) is just right for you. You will receive what you need.
You may seem to “fall asleep” during the session. Or, you may fall asleep every time you try to listen to the session for a while. This is also perfectly normal. If this happens, know that you are in a very deep, restful state where Spirit can do the deeper work inside you. Don’t resist it and don’t worry — you haven’t missed a thing! Just follow your body’s needs as you listen, and the session will work in you as it needs to.
After the session, you may feel energized and ready to take on the world, or you may feel, as my client Linda told me, “Like I was hit with a truck.” The session will affect you differently than it will other people. What you feel after one session may be completely different than what you feel after another. The energy and healing will be continuing to work in you for quite some time. Be gentle with yourself, especially the day after. Drink lots of water, rest, and give yourself time to integrate.
What others have said about attunements
“Powerful,” and “Incredible” are the most-used adjectives I hear from those who write to me after an attunement.
Some of the comments I’ve received about the last celebration, attunement and healing session: “Amazing Session!” “Beautiful and powerful session!”
“Thank you for hosting the attunement. Somehow, I felt I needed to join in this. Over the past couple of weeks, I have experienced low back pain, affecting hips and legs, stiffness, and soreness. I felt the relief in the sacrum, which also relieved the hips and legs. It all went away when the bones balancing happened! I have been able to squat, not all the way, but something I have not been able to do for a long time. I’m hoping this lasts so that I can do more on my yoga practice.” A day later, she wrote, “So good to be able to move without the pain and stiffness!”
Vicki W, Michigan
“That session was so powerful. I literally felt the fear lift off me as soon as you mentioned…. I was carrying so much fear. And it just kept getting better from there. I couldn’t move after – had to integrate and just felt so peaceful.”
Angela S, Massachusetts
“Those in my orbit are noticeably more ‘lighter’ and joyous since the session.”
Casper B, British Columbia
“Thank you, Mary. I so enjoyed the session and the background and astrological facts that accompanied it. It was a great evening and loved being connect to 99+ people I’ve never met, but we will be connected now for sure. The healing of the planet was wonderful and so needed.”
Cindy H., North Carolina
“I joined the group only by phone last night and was blown away by the energy I felt during both the attunements and healings.” A few days later, she wrote, “My awareness seems more expansive and I sense being an integral part of the Whole.”
