January Message

Energy of January

Life ‘happens’ for those who take a chance- but nothing happens for those who don’t take risks. If you really want to spice up your life (and you know you do!) then it’s time for adventure.

Whatever happens, your life will change, but it’s up to you, which way it will go. You have been asking for just this, for something different, something exciting to happen. 

“Lots are cast, the stones are laid,
Conclusions drawn, decisions made,
Yet I know not where to place my will. 
Go I with chance? Or remain I still?"
 

An opportunity for you has been cast! Do you have the courage to take the chance you are being given? Or will you let it pass you by? 
 

It may be difficult to embrace new beginnings, but it is the only way to move forward. You are being urged to turn things around and shake them up a little. Change is the key to bringing about new opportunities, but resisting change will block those opportunities and might create hurdles that hinder the flow. You may have to change yourself to make room for the new to enter. But as you do, you will find long- dormant wisdom and knowledge emerging, creating one of the deepest transformations of all. You may also see the need to address those who could hold you back or bring you down. Remember you can do this in a kind and loving way, but be assertive as you set your boundaries. 

“ It seems that changes have unfurled,
As I embrace a whole new world,
I sweep away the old within,
So my future can come in”.  

Your Opportunity or Challenge

You are in need of something so much deeper than rest. You need restoration, replenishment and revival. This will not necessarily come from lying about somewhere taking a moment out of your day or evening activities. You are more likely to gain what you need by breaking with your routine completely and doing something different. 

The first month of a new year sets your path for the remaining year. Start 2021 with variety, some spice, some change to bring fresh energy into your body, mind and heart. It’s important to restore and revive yourself by changing the usual flow of energy through your being. You could stimulate this process by going to a different place, meeting different people and taking different action to what you usually do. 

You can return to your regular routine in time- if it feels good for you. However, it is now time to move, without pushing yourself, beyond what is known, comfortable and familiar. 

Life is telling you now to put down the paintbrush, the pen, the endless lists and the thinking mind, and get into your body. Take the time to experience yourself in and of nature, remember how to just be. In doing so, even for a relatively short amount of time, you will feel more of yourself and ready for the next phase. You might be surprised what just a day or two of this can do for you. Restoration does not have to be a long and involved process. Especially if it is attended to when needed. 

Try This:

Imagine that you are floating in an ocean that has colours of turquoise to deep green and darkest, deepest blue. Notice what colours feel good. Enter and remain in that space for as long as you like.The water might be warm and sparkling, shallow and heated by the sun, or cool, deep and mysterious. Allow it to be whatever feels good to you.When you are ready, open your eyes and break that routine of yours!! You will have completed your healing process. 

Advice

This is a time of deep let-go. Allow any pain, sorrow, or difficulty just to be there, accepting its facticity.

Transformation is like authentic alchemy. It changes you from base metal into gold. But it’s language has to be understood, not with your reasoning and intellectual mind, but with your loving heart. Or even just listening, not bothering whether it is true or not. And a moment comes suddenly that you see it, which has eluded you your whole life. Suddenly what Gautam Buddha called “eighty-four thousand doors” open. 

Transformation comes like death, in its own time. And like death, it takes you from one dimension to another. Let this new year be that for you...

In Summary, January you are reminded that the more you experience, the stronger and more confident you will become. Take the opportunity that allows you to work towards reaching your full potential. Don’t be afraid to build on solid foundations when the chance to do so arises, be it a financial opportunity or someone’s change of heart. 

This new year asks us to change our ways. Allow the deep and ancient knowledge within to surface, let yourself change the way you view yourself and the world. Maybe allow someone else to change...
