Senses of the Soul

Senses of the Soul Discovering your soul's journey through chakra archetypes, nature's medicine and cosmic events. How deeply do you want to live your life? Hello!

Senses of the Soul is dedicated to supporting others on their soulful journey to embrace their highest illuminative potential. All parts of this visionary business, from its clinical practice, product line, Ascension offerings, and seaside garden/botanical sanctuary form a cohesive vision to uplift, inspire and empower others to become conscious co-creators of their own life, and engage as self-responsible caretakers of our beloved planet. Now more than ever we are being called to step up to heal our wounds and reclaim our authentic inner power in service to each other, the planet, and the universe. My name is Samantha Orthlieb - Contemporary Medicine Woman and Evolutionary Oracle who is able to intuit the health challenges of my clients on a physical and psychospiritual level and connect them with the appropriate plant or other vibrational medicine energy needed to restore balance to the individual in the areas he or she needs to heal. I believe that everything on the planet and in the cosmos is part of one universal energy field and that every thought and action has the power to ripple out across the world. We are now in the Age of Aquarius and humanity is in the throes of creating a new way of living and being in preparation for the 2032 Golden Age. It is time to awaken, shed what no longer serves us, and step into our full potential. Illness and chaos will continue to manifest in the body, heart, and mind until we embrace self-responsibility, empowerment, and heart-centered, eco-spirituality. We can then become conscious co-creators with each other and establish a sustainable and fulfilling destiny on the planet for ourselves and future generations. Follow my Ascension Energies Updates for intuitively channeled insights on our Human Ascension process and the embodiment of a new Human Evolutionary Template within ourselves. My Ascension Updates contain the latest themes, patterns, and common health and wellness issues that are affecting each of us and the collective consciousness as we upgrade and heal during this new paradigm of Love and Light. My book: Opening the Senses of the Soul draws on over 20 years of clinical experience working with thousands of clients to illuminate how returning to Mother Earth in the form of vibrational medicine can be one of our most valuable tools in this process. Opening the Senses of the Soul allows us to:

•move past our harmful physical symptoms, patterns, roles, beliefs, and self-serving, fear-based behaviours
•restore balance in our physical bodies and lives and release what no longer serves us
•reclaim our inner power and overcome our current cultural apathy
•open our intuition and awareness to enable us to be of service for the highest good of all
•flow with change and integrate new messages from the universal consciousness into our whole being
•live with depth and focus in our daily experiences

Nov 14, 2025 - X4.0 SOLAR FLARE @ midnight PT ☄️

Sunspot 4274 erupted again today (0800 UTC), producing an X4-class solar flare. The explosion hurled a CME into space.

Most of this fast-moving CME will miss Earth. However, a NASA model suggests that it could deliver a glancing blow to our planet's magnetic field late on Nov. 16th.

If so, the impact could spark minor to moderate (G1/G2) geomagnetic storms. That would be nothing like the severe storms of Nov. 11/12, but still a nice display of auroras for high-latitude sky watchers. (Spaceweather)

We continue to sift and sort, moving through deep emotional catharsis, dissolving what needs to be released before our soul's expansion in December! 💖💫☄️

November 11th, 2025

11:11 Gateway is a powerful symbolic opening for spiritual awakening, alignment with our life purpose, and enhanced manifestation.

It is a significant moment of synchronicity and a direct channel between the physical world and higher consciousness.

Aligned with the mind bending, body clearing X-Class flares over the last week (the latest today is a X5.1) this gateway is a monumental "wake-up call" from the universe, nudging us to become more spiritually aware and listen to our HIgher Self and our inner guidance.

A Doorway to New Beginnings: 11:11 can evoke the image of pillars or an open doorway, symbolizing a transition point or a new chapter in life.

It suggests a powerful opportunity to leave old patterns behind and step into a new, more aligned, authentic reality.

It is helping us to dissolve and release before a HUGE soul expansion that is occurring in December.

As always we need to meet the universe halfway, subconsciously and consciously. So pay attention to those nudges, thoughts, desires, or anything that is poking at you right now.

What can you release in terms of thoughts, beliefs, blocks that keep you from creating a life that fills you with joy, hope and love?

Write them down, visualize releasing them, speak this Higher Heart coding to a glass of water (water has and holds memory) and let it go, drink the water if you want or give it back to the Earth , see your future self as vibrating high, healthy and loving the life that you live!

And so it is!

Love Samantha💖💫

MAJOR SOLAR FLARE AND EARTH-DIRECTED CME: Today (Nov 11 - 11:11 GATEWAY) the sun produced one of the strongest solar flares of the current solar cycle:

An X5-class powerhouse.

The explosion hurled a very fast CME toward Earth. This CME could scoop up one or two CMEs already in route, forming a potent "Cannibal CME." Its arrival on Nov. 12th could cause severe geomagnetic storms. (Spaceweather )

This comes after four strong X-classes last week.😳🤯🤯 we are undergoing major shifts internally right now

If you’re sensitive to geomagnetic stress, please ground yourself, go outside into nature as much as you can, eat lightly, hydrate.

Tell me what you’re doing to stay grounded during this time?

TWO X-class solar flares in the last 24 hours. X1.7 and early this morning X1.2! 😬🤯🧘

And you may already be feeling it! The energies are intense and supercharged!

All of this as we pass through the two most important numerical gateways in November: 11/9/9 and 11/11.

MERCURY RETROGRADE: November 9 - 29, 2025

The final Mercury retrograde of 2025 occurs from November 9 to November 29, moving from the sign of Sagittarius back into Scorpio.

Interestingly, Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS has just emerged from behind the sun, and it is visible from Earth again. New photos taken by amateur astronomers on Nov. 8th reveal that it has apparently sprouted 4 or 5 tails (Spaceweather).

The cosmic energies continue to influence humanity’s ascension in consciousness, stirring the pot, creating beautiful chaos, asking us to awaken.

Astrologically and spiritually, the remainder of November is a powerful time for dissolving walls; deep reflection, reassessment of personal truths, and emotional realignment rather than making major decisions or starting new ventures.

We will move through "unseen" layers of the self, addressing buried emotions, hurts, and fears that influence current beliefs.

So don’t ignore anything that upsets or pokes at you. Explore it! It will lead you to your truth so that you can take inspired action.

As usual with Mercury retrograde, expect potential glitches in communication, travel, and technology. Misunderstandings are common, requiring patience and the need to double-check and check again details like emails, travel plans, and contracts.

This retrograde is part of a complex cosmic period with Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune also in retrograde, amplifying the introspective energy and making it a time for major internal shifts and an opportunity to mend past issues.

The spiritual meaning of this retrograde is one of recalibration, reflection, and realignment. It's asking us to not focus on the increasing external chaos but to surrender to a profound internal journey.

To be in our soul’s “inner work” and listen to our heightening intuition, and making it an opportune time for journaling, meditation, and exploring the inner self to find our authentic voice and meaning.

You may be revisiting the past so that you can dissolve any walls around your heart, find closure, healing, and make amends in preparation for soul expansion in December.

We are synching with the heartbeat of creation! It is pulsing through us and we are becoming One with All That Is.

We are rewiring for LOVE.

This final retrograde asks you to question your personal narratives and beliefs, especially those that are limiting or no longer serve you. It's about expanding your perspective and distinguishing between your evolving personal truths and old paradigm inherited ideas that want to be released.

November's Mercury retrograde is a powerful opportunity to tie up loose ends, gain clarity on your authentic path, and realign your inner world with your outer actions.

More in my upcoming 2026 Archetypal Forecast to help you during this time to “finish off” 2025 and prepare for 2026!

November 5, 2025 - Super Full Moon in Ta**us @ 5:19 am PST

(closest 2025 Super Moon to earth)

This full moon, which falls in the earth sign of Ta**us, is a powerful time for grounding, reflection, aligning with our values and preparation for the Ascension months ahead.

The Ta**us energy emphasizes building a solid foundation, both in our material world (finances, possessions) and our emotional life. This will serve us well in the next phase of our soul’s journey.

This moon portal also encourages us to focus on authenticity, self-worth and inner security rather than seeking validation or stability externally.

As such you may be battling with your sense of self more deeply, combing through memories, emotional waves and perhaps desiring rest and self nurturing. It is a time for deeper emotional healing and profound personal transformation - as other cosmic gateways this month will build on these themes.

The fourth chakra (heart) and third chakra (digestive area) are still cleansing and there are more ascension symptoms in the 1st to 3rd chakras (for more see the list in the physical /psychospiritual section of my monthly update) .

You may be experiencing fatigue, feeling ungrounded, unfocused, uncertain, overwhelmed, lost, scared, grieving and perhaps teary during this moon portal. However, it's important to not try to figure this out logically, for this will only cause further confusion and anguish.

Settle into the Becoming.

In 2026, you are starting a new 9 year cycle, and are now sifting and sorting, dissolving, only taking what heart aligns and is precious to you. Unity consciousness is seeping into the collective, and you are tapping into Divine Creation energies so that you can bloom in a new way. The embodiment of the Lover, Magical Child, Compassionate Innocent and Wise Advocate continues.

Force can slow down the process, so it is time to stop striving, figuring it out, and allow manifestation to organically occur. Meaning, only take inspired action as needed and then let go.

Trust the loving guidance within you, and know that all unfolds in perfect time. Everything will fall into place over the coming months (see my November 2025 Ascension Update for more about this!)

A well timed 1.8 X-Class solar flare on Nov 4th @9:30am PT and then another 1.2 X-class @ 1:30pm PT increased the pressure to let go and transform emotional heaviness into an authentic diamond, asking us to express what is in our heart, not how we think we should be or worrying about the future, or pining for the past.

This is a time to slow down, listen to your body's wisdom, and indulge in sensory self-care to ground your energy. You can also organize your life, set practical goals, and take steps to ensure you have the resources needed for future endeavors. As well as practice abundance and gratitude for what you do have.
