A New Year - a New Beginning

This is a letter to your soul for the New Year here on planet earth, so if you don't mind, could you read it aloud so it can hear it in your own voice?

The world is changing rapidly and we, as the ushers of a new and evolving consciousness, are being prepared in some mighty and mysterious ways! A time of reflection, gratitude and re-creation, we face an incredible opportunity to remember our very reasons for existence and come back into alignment with higher truth.

As we enter into the last few days of 2008, we must remain steady in what we know to be true and sacred. Evolution is always met with resistance and the birthing process isn't always comfortable. In spite of stark projections, I believe that we--and the world--are changing in the very ways we have prayed for. We are finding our voices, embracing our dreams, and cleaning up that which is not a match for the vibration we each wish to project into the creation of our lives.  

Many of us have faced the challenges of loss and transition over the last year. Life has turned us upside down and sideways, yet always, always we land on our feet once again. In the illusion of aloneness, we find sanctuary in prayer, or music, or nature and realize both the humor and necessity of our human dance into divine forgetting. The contrasts shed light on all that we have to be grateful for. As Anita's husband always reminds her, "When we face the light, the shadows fall behind us." Yet, we can only face the light of today when we are willing to look forward and release anything that fetters us to the past.

What will we remember when we look back upon 2008? How will we acknowledge our own growth and abundance? Will we be able to appreciate the massive evidence of positive change? Will we appreciate our own willingness to heal our relationships and pasts and finally understand that regret just prevents us from being witness to the perfection of the present? 

To know, without a doubt, that you are loved, supported and adored may be the greatest wish ever dreamed. The truth is that this is a given. You are. We are. And when you forget, this community will be here to remind you. 

Many of us have lost "sight" of a vision for our lives that is absent of cultural conditioning and a list of "shoulds" that seem to define happiness, success and fulfillment. So much of what we think we want has been influenced by the various cultures and subcultures that we identify with or want to belong to. Your current pictures of what you believe is possible, or what you believe you are worthy or capable of receiving into your life may unconsciously limit you from opening to an expanded picture of what the New Year wants to bring you. 

This is why I am sharing this letter with you today. I originally began writing it to the folks who are getting ready to start the two week treasure mapping class, yet, as my fingers clicked on the keyboard, knew I needed to share it with the entire community. I wish to share so much with you. I wish to share just a sense of what we are capable of when we let go of what we have been taught by the world. Love, healing, peace - it is all right at our fingertips...Ultimately it is simply about reconnecting with an inherent essence that exists within you and supports you in both the physical and non-physical realms.   

You, as both creator and "the created," possess an innate power to manifest that which you desire and which is in alignment with your soul path. Most importantly, you are being called to bring yourself into wholeness and gratitude and heal that which prevents you from seeing yourself as a creative force in your life.

 

At the same time, as I am reminded of often, we must remember that although we are creators, we are not the Source of all of our good. Yes, we carry the energy and therefore are a physical manifestation of Source/God in the physical. But, the moment we attach to the idea that all of our good or abundance comes from ourselves or others, we dismiss the greater truth that abundance comes from a Source of infinite supply. Ask of your Source and surrender to Divine Timing and an Order that is incomprehensible to most of whom walk with human eyes and hungering hearts.

Lack of clarity, unworthiness, fear, and lack consciousness blocks the communication of our soul's longing to be received clearly by our creative source. Stories of woundings and victimization remove the power we possess to facilitate change in our lives.

 

Ancient wisdom shows of the power of prayer, intention, energy and sound to transform, heal and transcend. Pray believing and the whole world changes. Surrender attachment and open to even greater possibilities - potentials you can't even begin to imagine. Forgive the past and immediately open the flow to a wellspring of beauty that awaits your receiving.

 

Release judgment and feel the healing power of compassion enter into your life. Love what you once feared or hated and understand the blessing of being loved unconditionally in your own life. Give what you most desire. Share your talents and passions. Stop avoiding coming into contact with the immensity of your greatness because we need it - all of us.

 

About a dozen years ago, I began writing letters to my Source. What began as a "O.K. I'll humor myself and see what happens" activity has become, at minimum, a twice a year gift to myself and my creator.  My most memorable experience was writing about the man of my dreams and meeting him just 10 minutes later (yes, we've now been married for 11 years!). Even the house I described in the letter manifested itself into our lives just over a year later. Everything I wrote about came into my life, everything.

Right now is the perfect time to reflect and see yourself entering into a new  and creative time in your life and this activity is a perfect way to call in the New Year. It's simple, yet has some basic elements, and I'm encouraging you write two different letters. First, write a thank you letter for everything you have learned, received and all of the ways you have grown over the last year. Even the most miserable of experiences warrant gratitude and when you seek the gifts, the treasures reveal themselves in transformative ways. Plus, it puts you in a conscious state of gratitude and that, my friend, is a highly creative and attractive state! 

Then, dating your second letter one year from the day you write it, write a thank you letter to the Universe for all that you received and manifested over this next year.  Yes, in 2009! Project yourself into the future and reflect upon 2009 as if it has already passed. Get elaborate and bold in what you are saying thank you for and note any resistance because it usually indicates unworthiness or a block that you need to clear within yourself.  

Then, if you feel called to do so, join me on January 1 and 8 for a two-part teleclass called Intuitive Chakra Treasure Mapping (sign up at www.powerofmyway.com ) where I'll be introducing the unique elements of energy, breathwork, and chakra clearing and balancing into a treasure mapping (with a workbook and template) activity. I'll also be integrating principles of expansion by inviting you to release anything tethered to resentments or unforgivness and prepare yourself by bathing in the energy of gratitude prior to our first group session.

Releasing or healing that which fosters a constrictive energy (such as judgment, regret, doubt, etc.) creates an immediate and expansive opening to new realizations, creations and inspirations. My recommendation is to take the time to do the hypnosis that is posted at the top of www.hypnoticmanifestation.com before the first teleconference. This releasing and expanding hypnosis will set a great foundation for the guided meditation and instruction that will take place during our first call.   

You may be entering into this process with a sense of what you desire to call forth into your life over the next year or so. You may be at a place of complete surrender, opening to a wisdom and guidance that is beyond the limitations of your human mind. Whatever place and space you find yourself in, know that this process will be both fun and clarifying. 

I'll be in touch and wish you an incredible New Year! 

Namasté, Anita
