Emergence Vol XIII: New Year - New Beginnings                                                    January  2016 News

There is a quiet Light that shines in every Heart. It draws no attention to itself though it is always secretly there. It is what Illuminates our minds to see Beauty, our desire to seek Possibility and our Hearts to Love Life... ~John O'Donohue



The above quote resonates with me. It is a beautiful reminder of our Truth, especially as many  of us are emerging  from 2015 feeling disconnected or in the dark about things that were once perceived as certainties. These feelings are  normal during periods of great shift but our misunderstanding of the process can  leave us ill-equipped to deal with them.  Each of us are in various stages of restructuring and reinvention. Many of our social systems/structures are being dismantled and reinvented as well - because they cannot sustain the Light.

To expand upon the theme of structure and stability, it is important to note that all of the Mercury retrogrades in 2016 are in Earth signs. We will be  required to adjust/expand our thinking to adapt to new situations. Health, home, business, social/political structures, and the environment are in focus.

The questions of these time are: Who are we? What do we stand for? It would serve us  best to imagine that these questions are tools for our personal evolution.  Imagine each of our  experiences as an opportunity to redefine ourselves, to polish or refine our gifts, or reconnect us to our truth. Pretend that each experience is asking those two questions of you.  In that way, each of us invite the Light of Awareness in rather than succumbing to the darkness of fear.  Life requires that we be open and teachable - skills that will help us to successfully  navigate this new terrain. 
  
In 2015,  we were bombarded with images of imbalanced power, imbalanced wealth, and poverty.  They served to help us look at our definitions of power and abundance. 2016 asks that we rise to the occasion and bring into daily practice our principles, new spiritual understanding, and ideals. Our task is to engage in our lives in a more dynamic way. We are both inspired and challenged by this. It will require courage to change and not fall back into past behaviors. 
 
 The next three month's support our surrendering to our Purpose even as the path remains unclear. Trust that you are on the verge of something! It is your Soul speaking to you. Journal. Meditate. Examine your beliefs. Envision yourself living Authentically. Our work in January is to continue to work through our resistance to change. This month offers us the opportunity to penetrate beneath the outward conditions of our lives and tap into our inner wellspring of spiritual power. As we open to a deeper awareness, our fears grow quieter so that our  Truth can emerge to guide us.
 
Perhaps we can best align with the Higher Energies of this time by also acknowledging and giving gratitude for the Good in our lives. All Good is the natural outgrowth of Light. Our task is to focus upon and allow our Inner Light to Shine.  As each of us do so, we will  feel less encumbered by the past and more comfortable with the unknown. We are beginning  to realize that we are partners in Creation and somehow that knowing makes us feel more Alive!  A new definition of Power is being born. 
 
Travel Lightly & with Love, my friends!

20 Steps to Being a Spiritual Warrior: Living the Path of Heart

 Saturday, January 16, 2016 1pm - 4:30pm
Zuzu's Healing Arts, Melrose, Ma
 
Is your Soul yearning for something more? If so, this is the class for you! We will explore: various pathways to open the Heart; practices to overcome our fears; learn how to move into states of clarity and vision;  and how to identify/heal our responses to the common pitfalls that keep us from walking our Truth. These are the foundation from which the Spiritual Warrior is born. Later, we will do some journey work to reclaim a forgotten gift that serves our Divine Purpose. Afterwards, we will honor that gift in a Spirit Reclaiming Ceremony as each of us step into our Light and Purpose. Join us for an exhilarating day and reconnect to the Heart of the Spiritual Warrior within. Tuition: $70.Zuzu's Healing

In Closing
 

   
It is good to be home for a bit. The days before and after Christmas have been busy, yet there has been time for reflection. We kick-off 2016 with some great new classes in the first quarter.  Please check my events calendar for new editions over the coming weeks.  My travels resume in mid/late February with a trip to Washington DC.  Thus far,  I return to New York and Maine in Mar/April and to Atlanta in early May. 

The energies of 2016 hold the potential for a positive shift in paradigm and a reawakening to our Soul Purpose. The transformation process always causes a ripple effect. As we step into our Authenticity, it impacts life around us.  A new momentum is created. The people in our lives begin to change as well as our life experiences. Trust the process.  Marilyn Williamson's words  strike a chord:

"Let's Forgive the past and who we were then. Let's embrace the Present and who we're capable of Becoming. Let's surrender the Future and watch Miracles unfold." 

Amen! And,  Blessings for a wonderful 2016!

Until next time, Beloved Ones...
