October 2026 Energy Update: The High-Low Roller Coaster Explained

Lee Harris – Hi everyone, the October 2026 #EnergyUpdate is here, and this month brings some powerful contrasts as we move between what is falling away and what is ready to emerge.

You may be feeling the high-low rollercoaster, with moments of possibility and aliveness followed by deeper waves of release. For many, this is part of preparing for something new. And importantly, you are starting a new story, not starting over. Everything you’ve lived and learned comes with you, but it may now be taking an entirely new form.

There’s also a powerful creative energy emerging through shadowless creation and unclouded genius, inviting bolder, freer ideas and new ways of creating without the old limitations getting in the way.

These are just a few of the energies moving through October. Join me for the full Energy Update as we dive into what else is showing up this month.

Big love, Lee

Themes for the month:

The High-Low Rollercoaster

Why is it happening, and what is its purpose? The rollercoaster of energy for many right now is mirroring and responding to climate and world events, where there are intense bursts of release, change, loss, and disillusionment but ALSO possibility, shifts, and the birth of a very new world happening right now.

If you yourself are able to stay mostly centered, you will notice others in this rollercoaster. But even if centered, for many aware souls right now, you are using the rollercoaster to purge and release old energy you no longer align with before you leap into the new. (01:59)

Do You Trust or Fear the Future?

Notice the amount of downward messaging about the future that we are being sent every day, and ask yourself, how do YOU feel about it? What do YOU feel about the future? If you are mostly in fear, is that fear coming from your own mind or the accumulation of so many negative stories?

Is it coming from your body and your bodily knowing? If you aren’t sure, work with giving the body moments of balance and fearlessness. The mind can direct the body into fear in a heartbeat, and stored trauma can keep fear on a loop. Look to regularly give your body and senses calm and relief. (06:07)

Processing Global Trauma

We are being asked to process global trauma and events more as a collective now than ever before, and this brings into balance the sides of us that were perhaps less seeing and less knowing than before. The horrors and heartbreaks of our world may be moving through your emotions, thoughts, and awareness in a stronger way than before.

YOU may have already been experiencing this awareness for a while, so you may be noticing how others who are now more in the discomfort of the global story we find ourselves in. It is a shock to the system for many right now and an awakening of a different kind. This affects how we feel, behave, and show up. (10:22)

You Are Starting A New Story. You Are Not Starting Over. There Is A Difference

A new story is not a restart. It is a complete new beginning and the creation of new chapters for you and your life. These chapters are not disconnected from your past, BUT in order for your next phase to be truly new, things cannot just be a slight upgrade or reboot of WHAT WAS.

For this reason, nostalgia, memories, and past reflection at high volume often precede the beginning of your new story. Many are in this dance right now. The new may feel disorienting, yes, but it isn’t wrong. You are becoming NEW. (14:15)

More People Are Receiving Messages From the Other Side

Psychic, angelic, and afterlife experiences and messages are permeating, lifting more people into crown chakra energies and higher realm communication. This is becoming more normal, which in tandem makes the old way of seeing, perceiving, and feeling the world less normal. But there is a REMEMBRANCE in this.

Kids are wired to remain connected to this other side, and many of us are remembering it as adults. The more this normalizes, the more the world changes, but the world does not necessarily have unified beliefs around it, and holding onto past human stories can be seductive. (18:13)

Own and Hold Your Frequency

Knowing who you are, how you want to feel, and the kind of energy you want to give out is a practice. For many of us, this choice becomes empowered first by seeing and knowing the things you DON’T want. And then focusing on what we do: the environments, the types of relationships, and the experiences.

We achieve this by practicing. Over and over again. We will get knocked off center or diverted from this focus, and that is quite natural. But the power of the practice is repetition. Which choices am I making that are serving and enhancing my ability to be present to life, and what is taking me away from that? And by staying with your own focus. (22:24)

Shadowless Creation and Unclouded Genius

Empowered and balanced creativity, especially where focused on benevolent, collective causes or upliftment, is thriving now in a new way. Shadowless creation refers to when we can be creative without a wounded ego being involved – such as the need to be seen, chasing status, relevance, etc.

Unclouded genius is that which is free of limiting thoughts that exist in the now. It creates something very new, bold, and innovative without too much concern for normal limitations. These energies are strong now, and if you are experiencing them, they can feel like quite a rush of energy. (25:57)

Dissociation, Checking Out, and Exits

Grief, Helplessness, and Death energies are showing up through this theme, as many people are finding the emotional intensity of times like these too much. They may want to run, check out, or dissociate through behaviors, substances, or ways of numbing.

It is common during intense energy periods for sensitives and those carrying burdens to want to check out, so if this isn’t you, look out for those around you who may need help. Who is quieter than usual or more withdrawn and inward? Equally, the exits of people who are dying can leave a hole for us in the heart, or a sense of loss. But what their death also does is make us reflect on who they were and why they affected us powerfully. Death brings us closer to spirit in a different way. (28:34)
