Happy Holidays! Happy Holy Days!
As I write this, the “hustle and bustle” of the season is in the air. This time of year can be particularly busy, stressful and lonely, but it can also be a time of miracles, birth, love and light … the MIRACLE beyond what we think is possible to that which is truly possible, the BIRTH of the enlightened presence within us and the collective LIGHT and LOVE that is so available on the planet during this season.
The outer world is busy with shopping and holiday activities. The days are the shortest and darkest of the year. The outer activities of the season can be seductive and distract us from the true meaning of the season and the true potential for our life that lies within our hearts.
The busier the world becomes, the more STILL we can become. Turn away from the outer world and IMMERSE yourself in the potent LIGHT and LOVE all around and wear it like a lavish, velvety cloak around you. The practice of not getting engaged in this outer world allows you to birth yourself into your highest, most enlightened self. You become aware of the miracles that are always present in your life, that you sometimes miss when distracted by the busyness of the season. Once you connect with the true meaning of the season within yourself, you are free to bring that consciousness back into “your” world and consequently, “the” world.
Please join with me this season to stop, become still, join together in the collective energy of LIGHT and LOVE that is available to all of us:
1. LOVE: Balance your “busy” with “STILLNESS”. Balance your holiday activities with “SOULFUL” activities. Just playing the beautiful music of the season in your home, lighting candles as the evenings become dark earlier, transport us into the greater, higher possibilities calling us. Breath deeply. Listen to “Oh Holy Night” and in the stillness, let your “Soul know It’s Worth”.
2. LIGHT: The darkness of the season is a perfect invitation for CONTEMPLATION and CLEARING. Take some time to look back upon your year. Consider what is working and what may not be. “SHINE THE LIGHT” of your own awareness onto the places within you that you intend to clear away from 2012.
3. BIRTH: Intention calls forward the best of you, the “next” in you. Something new emerges. Something higher emerges. Something compelling emerges. It was always there, buried, and now that very insight catapults you into your next level. You feel energized and revitalized. You are clear and connected to that which is calling you forward in your life. You are connected to your Highest Self.
4. MIRACLES: Bring your Highest Self into your holiday season and 2013. Create a clear vision for yourself in 2013. Engage in high conversations and uplift those around you. You will experience miracles beyond what you know to ask for.
