New beginnings start with an open heart.
Many of us are wishing for new beginnings, yet we are still living yesterday’s beliefs. Or, we may be blocking ourselves in some way by not understanding or speaking our inner truth. Or perhaps we are not healing from the past. Or perhaps we aren’t living our authenticity which encompasses our inner truths, beliefs and opinions. We may be lying to ourselves in some way, thinking or feeling what others tell us to do. When this type of old energy is still within us, it closes off our heart. We repeat the same patterns, which become more intense each and every time. We can lose something or someone which we didn’t want to happen. A job, a career, a place to live or a myriad of other situations. Or perhaps a relationship has changed in some way, whether colleague, family or friend. It could be over so a new and different relationship more suited for you can come in with a new person or the same one. Perhaps the relationship is becoming stronger and better, or is transitioning into something even more profound and wonderful. By learning the lessons and both parties working on themselves, forgiving themselves and healing to transform and awaken, it can bring in even more love & light.
Our heart is the center of our intuitiveness, the communication center for our higher selves and the basis of who we truly are at our inner core. By not removing the blockages, healing from past traumas or painful experiences and learning from them to live in a new way, those new beginnings will still be waiting on you. You may think you are receiving something or someone new, but it is most likely a similar experience which can be more difficult to deal with to push you into releasing and healing. Because it is important to remember the Law of Attraction…who you are, is what you attract; what you send out is what you attract. You also may still be living in fear, whether it is fear of love, fear of success, fear of trusting or a huge array of many others fears. This is why it is so important to heal yourself.
To fully release the old, we need to dig deep and relive what we may have buried or ignored. It may be difficult and painful, yet, if we keep it inside, it will reveal itself in a different manner, creating havoc in our lives. The manifestation of something old you no longer need may reveal itself in discomfort, dis-ease, imbalance in the body or mind or in a ton of different ways. Once you have recognized the blockages, worked through them and heal, your heart will open, causing you to be more in tune with your soul. And, with the open heart and better connection to your soul, new opportunities will flow allowing the brilliant new beginnings to happen as you awaken more and more. Trusting is a key ingredient. Trusting in your strength, resilience and motivation in your heart & soul. The one who you should trust most is you. Putting trust in another by sharing your fears, concerns, worries or hurts only strengthens the trust you have in you. And, if the other person holds you only in love, you have found a treasured relationship indeed. Otherwise, you have learned a powerful, wonderful lesson.
This past year, 2016 has been one of endings, helping us to prepare for the new 9 year cycle. 2016 adds up to “9” which represents endings. You may have experienced some pretty intense endings this year in your life. The good news is that 2017 is a “1” year. A “1” year brings many new, fresh, positive opportunities, experiences and relationships. It brings fresh, as well as new energy to our existing lives, relationships and more. It helps us open our heart even more to help us on our true soul path, living our soul purpose as we attract what we most desire. It can help us open our heart to something me may have missed before, whether a job, person, home, or place. Endings are intended for new beginnings, both which can be with the same situation or person, or a completely different one. Be aware of how this past year has changed you or brought you change. Learn how it has created something different by releasing something or someone. Ponder the lessons you have learned or were meant to learn, and can now take to heart to heal you. Consider why and what you can do to transform yourself from the experience into a more brilliant version of you. These “9” years are intended to open us up to more awareness of what we truly wish to have in our lives, and how to receive them by releasing the old either easily, or not so much.
This year is also ending with a Mercury Retrograde, which lasts until January 8, 2017. It is connecting the old year and the new year, allowing us to fully release the old, while moving into the new. Mercury Retrograde provides us the time to truly review our lives and to allow us to recognize and change what is needed within us and around us. Happening at the end of the year, increases this energy in intensity. It helps us release even more of what is holding us back from our true life purpose, true love, true happiness and true harmony. What we yearn for wishes to come to us, and the Universe and Spirit is helping us achieve it by bringing us the lessons and endings we need to allow our dreams to come true. By opening our hearts to this energy, it opens our hearts to acceptance, awareness and availability for both the past lessons, as well as, the incredible new experiences waiting for us to be ready.
Wait until Mercury Retrograde is over to begin your new plans, goals, intentions, wishes and lists. I suggest January 11, 2017, which gives Mercury energy a few days to move forward again. This is a powerful day of “1” energy. January is the first month of the year, the 11th day is represented by double “1”, and the year is a “1” year. This is an excellent day to meditate, and connect with your intuition, your higher self, and soul. Meditation will help you listen to your inner compass, your soul. Then on this day, you can begin to create your new year and new life, to manifest your true soul purpose by living your passions. You have the strength within you to share your gifts and talents with the world, whether they are music, sales, healing or other creative pursuits.
This past year has brought me the opportunity for intense healing, transition and transformation by awakening me to lessons I needed to learn. It has helped intensify my understanding of my unique gifts. I have learned even more profoundly that I am my own person, and because I love to help others, I was given the chance to help myself through using many of the services I offer, plus others. I worked with Reiki energy, meditations, the Akashic Records and more to help me heal from an intense period of my life. It has reinforced in me how much I love helping others help and heal themselves. It’s why I started doing yoga nearly 17 years ago, why I became a Reiki Master nearly 5 years ago, and why I have always been very interested in health & wellness and alternative ways of healing, thinking and believing. It’s why I have chosen to be in the Spiritual Aspects of Healing through my services. If you are ready to move forward to heal yourself, and open your heart to new beginnings, I’d be honored to help you “Awaken a more brilliant version of you™” today and in the new year. I know I am looking forward to all the incredible new opportunities waiting for me in 2017. Are you ready?
To your open heart, new beginnings, new life and more…
Cheers, Happy New Year & Namaste!
