The New Year & January 2011

With the releasing energies of December moving behind us, it's time for the other half of the eclipse on January 4th.  This is an incredibly optimistic time, which is so appropriate as we not only begin a new lunar cycle, but we're beginning a new cycle of a new year! 

The 2010 to 2011 transition has brought with it much in regards to the element of water here on Earth with unexpected amounts of rain and snow as the most recent weather activities.  During this time I have been shown this child-like image of Noah's Ark in a few client private sessions, but then it started to appear for me as I began collecting ideas and writings for this month's newsletter.  Comparing my journal notes to the recent weather events occurring at the same time, I decided to research and dig into this message a bit further.  Immediately, I found this image online, which bears a striking resemblance of what I was being shown and this is the message I am to share in this New Year Edition of my newsletter: (Note: If you're a client reading this and the image came up in your session, you may wish to listen to your session again after reading this for additional insight to your session.)

Humanity is in a turning point of its spiritual body as we are moving from a lower consciousness (poverty consciousness, conditional love consciousness, victim consciousness, etc.) into a higher consciousness (prosperity consciousness, unconditional love consciousness and victory consciousness). This is directly impacting all of the "earthly bodies," which includes us as humans, specifically, within our human bodies: our emotional, mental, and physical bodies. Mother Earth is currently experiencing much in relation to water, which is most of what our human bodies are made of.  Water is one of the key elements of life; therefore, your feelings and your emotions are a key element of life, and often these emotions form our inner structures. Consider that Mother Earth's bodies of water and streams are reflecting humanity's "streams of consciousness," if you will. 

2011 will bring many opportunities to reveal anything that has been hidden either by each of us individually or by systems and structures within our world. This is the energy that Saturn going Retrograde bring, and Lord Saturn goes into his retreat (retrograde) on January 26th until June 12th.  He is showing us that there's no more denying what we don't want to see, and at some point in time, we'll each get to that fork in the road where we can use our free will to choose the continued road of "ignorance" (living in a limited world of lack and limitation at the emotional and spiritual equivalent of a teenager and remain living in drama and in fear) or to choose the "higher" road of Golden Consciousness, prosperity consciousness, victory consciousness, and unconditional love.  A higher perspective sees this as a necessary "slimming down" in order to test for stable foundations and to show where the areas of life require more simplicity. Tests may be part of the picture as you learn that life means growth and expansion.With this choice of the higher road, you have the option to choose is the new-found level of wisdom that replaces the F.E.A.R. and that elevates us to a new level of empowered maturity, building new systems and structures!  In this drawing the rocks holding the ark are not there to sink your ship, as they are the new inner and outer/ Earth structures to support you.

Much of life is distracting us, and we've forgotten that our original self is our own tutor.  Since most of us resist change, we may find ourselves pushed "to the brink" to stop the gerbil wheel of life we may be living so that we can experience ourselves as something different.  Since everything is energy, and we are energy, your energy can then learn how to tap into other streams of consciousness.  It is these streams that will guide you to the sanctuaries physically being activated on Mother Earth's body when the time of great changes occur.  Making time to connect, listen and tap into the fathering and mothering qualities of God (Mother/Father God, Spirit, Source Energy), helps you tap into your "tutor self," so that you can be reminded that inside of you, in your heart, is a sanctuary of knowledge and sacred teachings.  It is your inner sanctuary calling you.

Mother Earth's calling out to us to help heal her by healing our own waters, as she's reflecting what is inside of us.  She's using her own language to speak to us, and the animals already communicate with her.  Part of our maturity, our growth and expansion includes recognizing the importance of our connection to the other life forms here on Earth and that there are dynamics of many dimensions of energy, just as there are a number of variations of what the intuition is, the soul, etc.  We're expanding to be attuned to everything happening within and upon Mother Earth.  Technology and living in a survival mentality has completed distracted us from true realities and the freedom of abundance and also the abundance of freedom.  We're not having fun and playing like we should and could be.  It's in this energy of being childlike where creativity is born, but our systems and structures tell us not to behave this way and that working hard without rest is the only way to survive. 

Mother Earth's adjusting herself to shed our toxic energies that we carry within and display, speak, think, and act, as we are no longer limited to a fearful reality.  When you truly connect to Mother Earth, when you are really listening and you are understanding her moods, her voice, and the changes in her energy, you will know exactly what to do, when to do it, and hot to apply it. 

So this cartoon-like image of Noah's Ark is a reminder of these things: the importance of connecting with Mother Earth and all that is upon her and to remember the importance of your own inner child.  The seas are now calm "after the storm," and you are filled with a sense of inner peace as the negative energy is washed away.  Let yourself be your guide to the inner sanctuaries and let Mother Earth be your guide to the sanctuaries upon her. The clouds in the sky represent Mother/Father God "on Earth as it is in Heaven," with the rainbow reminding us that it is God's/Goddess' bow in the sky as the symbol of the peace after the storm.  Humanity is capable of creating new structures, whether they are internal structures, buildings, or structures of a country. The rainbow signifies the connection between Heaven and Earth.  It reminds of us "As Above, So Below."  What a naturally beautiful reminder that you are at peace with God and the world and that an important reconciliation is possible!

Leave behind that you are trying to just keep your head above water.  You're challenges are really showing you it's your opportunity to find a new flow in life.  We've been under the misbelief that we're not supposed to feel or show emotion, but know that misguided emotions is like a raging sea.  The opportunity is also there to help you make your choices a reality because you'll have a more focused sense of knowing what you want instead of only knowing what you don't want.  The calm waters in this child-like drawing is you striving towards merging with the calmer waters where your creativity flows, where you relax and your relationship with life becomes the beautiful experience you are praying for. 

It's time to grow with the flow and no longer fight the currents of life. Let your inner child take the reins so that you will reawaken, play, laugh and have fun!  Practice accepting the gift that comes with these wonderful feelings.  Practice transforming your emotional trauma into feelings of forgiveness, as you're now willing to surrender your emotional trauma, pain and suffering for new motivations that are dynamic, re-focused, re-centered and filled with anticipation instead of anger.   

 Significant Energies of January

January begins with an incredibly positive BANG!  It is a new year, which provides a platform where the entire world is placing their attention and energy to new beginnings.  This focus of new beginnings is energetically supported by a New Moon on January 4^th, 2011, that is also the energy of new beginnings, but this New Moon is the "second half" of this pair of eclipses that began on December 21^st.--Eclipses come in pairs two weeks apart and are to help us emotionally and spiritually mature and grow.  The December Lunar eclipse was a Full Moon that was power-boosted to assist us in letting go and in combination with the Winter Solstice, Mercury Retrograde and a Moon Wobble: intensely challenging energies to "let it go, let it go, let it go"! 

Now enter the second half of the pair: The Solar Eclipse which is the New Moon on January 4^th.  It is the equal but opposite powerful cosmic event because it supports new beginnings and is very positive with results that usually make us quite happy.  These results can show up as a surprise and happen several months later, but truly another power-boosted emotional and spiritual event but with much excitement and anticipation. 

We then have the Full Moon on Wednesday, January 19^th.  Later in this newsletter I have information about this Full Moon and the Solar Eclipse New Moon with prayer suggestions.

Next my attention is turned to another cosmic event; this time involving Saturn, the energy that strengthens us through endurance, persistence, and that which requires discipline from us.  Saturn turns retrograde on Wednesday, January 26^th, EST.  Lord Saturn is the energy who holds each of our karmic contracts, which is the contract we have with him that includes challenges we came here to the Earth school to master.  It's by facing our fears, our hardships, and then rising above them, that we finally realize that our challenges were not meant to "do us in."  Instead, we are provided the opportunity to learn more about ourselves as we successfully overcome these fears and are able to master finding the solutions. 

So if Lord Saturn's energy is already rather deep, dark, and challenging, what does it mean that he is retrograde until June 12th?  First of all, the term "retrograde" means the planet seems to reverse their cycle, so in this case, Lord Saturn's energy will go "even deeper" to shake the foundations of life.  As painful as facing fears can be, remember that fear is an acronym for False Expectations Appearing Real, and a higher consciousness viewpoint sees the need for this deep and intense retrograde period because it will reveal anything that has been hidden either by each of us individually or by systems and structures within our world.  There's no more denying what we don't want to see, and at some point in time, we'll each get to that fork in the road where we can use our free will to choose the continued road of "ignorance" (living in a limited world of lack and limitation at the emotional and spiritual equivalent of a teenager and remain living in drama and in fear) or to choose the "higher" road of Golden Consciousness, prosperity consciousness, victory consciousness, and unconditional love.  This higher road you have the option to choose is the new-found level of wisdom that replaces the F.E.A.R. and that elevates us to a new level of empowered maturity!

This Saturn event is a very important part of 2011, and before I continue, I want to explain that this method I use of looking at the calendar each month is something I've shared in my last few newsletters as an example of how I put together my own "process" to create order within my chaotic life-well, it's much less chaotic now!  I am a person who is, to a degree, mentally driven, and I am able to break things down into small, bite-sized pieces and rebuild it.  Over the last several years during my spiritual practice, I have applied my analytical and methodical attitudes to processes that have been vitally important for me to understand my life, so I'm sharing how I do things that may help as you understand your own life.  Many people do not understand the analytical process of an inner way, not only deciding, but dissecting their life in order to manifest the process, the order, the routine, and the boundaries which are required to bring them into a higher state of their own being.  Personally, I have found that if I do not have order in my life or take an orderly approach to life, I will feel overwhelmed and fears will then create a chaotic energy in my energy field. When this happens, it impacts your intuition, your dreams, and your aspirations, and you will find because of that chaotic energy, it will be difficult for your dreams and aspirations to come to fruition, therefore, I have found order is very important in my life.

One of the purposes of the articles in this newsletter is to assist you in empowering yourself to know what is truth vs. beliefs and to learn to tap into your own guidance, your intuition, as this is the feminine side of Source where knowledge is stored and revealed.  As this year unfolds, you will see that systems we currently view and have leaned on as our safe structures have been built on greed, and there is "no room" here on Earth for systems built where love is not at the core. As with all my newsletters, I pray and ask Mother/Father God what I should be sharing each month.  I will often get my answers in pictures or in little movie-like pictures, and this time they showed me this child-like drawing depicting Noah's Ark. 

 Inspiration and Support!

Enjoy these YouTubes of the 1996 movie Phenomenon with John Travolta.  It's a fabulous movie providing the viewer with a glimpse of what humanity is capable and on the human spirit!  It's a movie worth seeing, but for now, enjoy the YouTubes!
