TOWARDS A HAPPY NEW YEAR
JANUARY 2018
It was suggested by some that the year 2017 was the ‘real 2012’, a year that would mark a huge change in consciousness. We have certainly had an extraordinary year in terms of world events. Let’s look towards 2018 with trust that we can know for sure that things have indeed changed, and that we are ready to know ourselves as if for the first time.
Guidelines:
“We would take the opportunity to wish our friends a very very Happy New Year. This is the year of extraordinary opportunity. Not only for our friends in incarnation, but for the world in general. Peace on Earth and goodwill towards all men and women.
This is a new era. And if the era begins with a little discombobulation; a little uncertainty; a little ‘where am I going?’ – allow it to be just the way it is. Even if you feel you have lost your way for now, allow that just to drift for a while. Let it drift. Find something to displace this feeling of uncertainty and the ‘who am I, and what am I doing?’ Allow yourself to do something else, without agonising about not feeling quite yourself today. Or even tomorrow.
Displace the discombobulation as best you can, and then begin to recognise, in a while, that you suddenly do feel different. You realise that this difference isn’t unnerving; it is about a new era beginning, and a new you.
What we suggest, in the meantime, is that you pray, or meditate, or walk in the forest, and you ask to be kind to yourself. Allow yourself to infill who you truly are; gently, without fear, or worry that you might not fill up again. Allow a real and meaningful recognition that, as you drift; as you allow yourself to open up moment by moment, day after day, there is a sense of ‘ah.a..ah..’ And it’s a soft ‘ah.a.ah; not a hard ‘Ah, Ha!’ It is a soft feeling of peace within you. And from that peace there is a real sense of you coming forward, into the now moment.
It begins with the peace that passeth all understanding. It begins with a feeling of drifting; of letting go; of allowing yourself to open up, like a new flower; a new flower that you become now. And as you open up to your flower, you drift into this opening out to the colour of the flower that you are. Feel how charming that is; how touching; how ‘right’. Feel how it resonates with who you know yourself to be right now.
And as you open up to the flower that you are; see how beautiful it is; so unashamed of its beauty. It is a natural beauty that people can love. It is favourite; it is loving who you are and allowing others to love you, which brings a sense of joy and tranquility. It feels different to the way you might have imagined, but it feels, in fact, more you.
So we ask our friends to open out into their own flower now, and to feel how different, perhaps, this colour makes you feel; surprisingly different, with a different modus operandi. It can be more vibrant than you imagined yourself to be; or softer; it can be more retiring; or more overt. However that feels it can be you now. Allow it to feel extremely new. Allow this new era to begin for you, and those around you. No matter how, even now, the outside world looks to the contrary.”
Here now is an audio meditation, with very best wishes for a wonderful year ahead.
