Winter Solstice. Christmas. New Year. Yes, it is all happening.
Christmas is an interesting time of year. Human beings are rushing from place-to-place visiting family and friends all over the world, eat to many cookies, worry about finding the right presents, and the list continues…
It is also a season that brings to the forefront many anxieties, pain, loneliness and triggered behaviors. It is a time where deep absence can be felt, too, if we are not surrounded by family, unlike the pictures on the shelf.
So too does the New Year bring about a good buffet of feelings. For some of us we will be putting much stress on the body, drinking and celebrating, eating a lot food, and cheering our way through crowded parties and bursting out of our shells when the clock strikes twelve. Others will be alone, pondering the year ahead, the years gone by, and if this one will get a little brighter than the year before.
I have two key words to share that may help you in this season and throughout the New Year.
ACCEPTANCE and GIVING.
A lot of our fears and worries of the New Year, or handling the energies of family, can be given over to the powers of the Universe: a daily meditation/chat to those in spirit asking for your worries to be put in “their hands”, and not your own can work wonders.
Here is a simple meditation you may like to follow:
• Sit in a comfortable position
• Inhale deeply, visualize breathing in pure white light
• Exhale, visualize letting all go you no longer need
• Visualize/talk out loud every fear or worry that you are holding on to. Then see it leaving your body and being placed into a HUGE set of hands.
• Finish the meditation with several deep breaths and white light and trust that you are no longer holding those fears and worries. You have gifted them over.
Have an ACCEPTANCE that you are meant to be here. That your worries are taken care of.
GIVE. Smile at your morning Coffee, call an old friend, give to yourself and take a long hot bath, donate to a charity, be kind and have a laugh with those around you.
By accepting what is in our world, trusting, and giving back- our world transforms.
