Did you like millions of people make resolutions or a vow for the New Year? Have you kept them thus far?!
I
believe in out with the old and in with the new and it feels 'right' at
the end/beginning of the year. I would not consider myself a
'resolutionist', but I do believe in goal setting and reflecting on the
past the year. I look at areas in my life that need cleansing and those
areas that need more cultivation. It is a time to honor past losses
and lessons learned. A time to celebrate and hold all of life's
experiences, with quiet awareness and compassion. A time for renewal. I
look at my dreams and put together my intentions toward them on paper. I
even pick a few songs that reflect my vision and cultivate love in my
heart. I include these songs in my playlists so that I hear them
throughout my day.
I
am in the process of letting go of the 'need to know' that what I am
doing is the 'right' program. I am really truly beginning to settle into
the realm of Silence (I try to go their twice daily). A friend said to
me recently , "Running the race of life means that I need to deal with
the stuff that slows me down, deal with sins that strangle me, and deal
with anything that trips me up. It's a challenge not to relax or give
up before I meet the tape of my goals. I am best sustained in the race
if I keep my eyes fixed on Jesus Christ, the author and perfecter of my
faith, but often distractions come easily."
I
am finding with this new approach of Silence, I am expanding my
relationship with my faith. I am listening more closely to the voice of
God that exists within each and every one of us. I am finding I am
rooted deeper....more securely...in a loving and peaceful place. I bend
freely with the winds and storms of life with grace and compassion. I
am experiencing so much inner joy and peace. This is leading me into
another dimension of self-exploration. I am able to stay present and to
see beyond the seeing, feel beyond the feelings and sensations and hear
beyond the hearing. My heart is radiating warmth and acceptance of
'what is' - I know I am on the right path. God is faithful. Lean into
Him.
If
you happen to be starting a 'new program' or transitioning in your
life and want guidance, there is so much power in the process of
trusting your inner knowing. It only speaks truth and only guides us
'right'. The voice of God and your gift of life are to be treasured
and embraced. Trust that no matter what you do - it is right for this
moment or for this next phase....how ever long.....until you are ready
to transition to yet the next phase. We are perfect in our own unique
mess and that is what makes this life so fantastic!
Each
of us has the power to create something magnificent and to be
inspirational to others. Together we will continue to create a sacred
space of peace, joy, and community that can be carried forward into our
lives in the months...and the years to come.
In Love, Acceptance, Inner Knowing and Inner Peace ~
Namaste
