Solar Eclipse + New Moon=radical change

Today we will experience a solar eclipse, which although you will not be able to witness it, you will definitely feel it's energy! A solar eclipse happens when the Moon casts a shadow onto the earth blocking the light of the sun. For a moment, the world is submerged in darkness. Where there was light, there is a momentary time of darkness. And, this is a metaphor for what 2020 has taught us, about how quickly our world can be transformed into a dark and scary place. But, just as with the solar eclipse which is a momentary darkness, our world will see the light again but our world will never look the same. What you once knew as true now has a shadow of a doubt cast upon it. Adding to the powerful energy of the solar eclipse is a New Moon tonight, which is always a time of new beginnings. However, this New Moon because it falls on the same day as an eclipse truly initiates radical change. Today, use all of this incredibly transformative energy to assist you in setting your intentions for a more hopeful future for yourself and the planet. Do not look back because what you have been holding onto for safety is in reality gone, done and over. Today, is a new beginning for us all. Stay open to receiving all the abundance and prosperity that the Universe will offer you and stay true to yourself and you will always find your way.

Just for today, I have the strength to remain calm in the face of change. I know that in order to change my life on the outside, I must change the inside first. The moment I am ready to change, it is amazing how the Universe helps me. It brings me everything I need. I cannot change another person. I let others be who they are and I simply love who I am. I feel safe in the rhythm and flow of my every changing life. Everything is always working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Comparison is such as waste of time

You know you shouldn’t compare yourself to others. Yet, that’s often easier said than done. And, the number of categories in which you and I can compare ourselves to others are infinite. So is the number of people we can compare ourselves to.

Today, it is time to recognize that comparing yourself to others is generally the fast track to unhappiness. It’s a recipe for misery and that all it does is keep you focused on what you don’t like about yourself and your life. Today, consciously stop comparing yourself to anyone. Begin by "watering" your own grass and stop wasting time comparing your path to someone else’s. Instead today spend it investing, creating, and caring for your own. Next, accept where you are right now. You can’t change something you don’t acknowledge. So, instead of resisting or fighting where you are, come to peace with it. Say yes to every part of your life, and from that place, make decisions that will move you in the right direction. And, one of the biggest sources of comparison is social media. I highly suggest that you take a social media break. Social media can be a great source for inspiration. But, if it triggers inadequacy, self-doubt, and frustration, then choose to do a detox. Make sure you control social media and not the other way around. Today, recognize that whenever you focus on what other people have that you don’t, you give away your power. Every minute spent on comparing your path to someone else’s is a minute lost on creating your own. So, today take back your power from all the people, places, and situations where you’ve left it and bring it back home. Decide that your energy will be used for believing, not doubting, and for creating, not destroying. Today focus on you. Focus on watering your grass and building your path. Focus on being the best that you can be and then share that with the world.

Just for today, I recognize that there is no competition or comparison for we are all different and were meant to be that way. I am special and I am wonderful. I know if I dwell on what I do not want, that is exactly what I will get more of. I accept my uniqueness. I am perfect exactly as I am and everything is always working out for my highest good.

Connect with the power of 1212

It is 1212 (December 12th) and my numerology friends tell me that the number 1212 is powerful and asks you to step out of your comfort zone and take new directions and/or begin new projects and ventures that you have been wanting to do for a long time now. Furthermore the number 1212 encourages you to release your fears and apprehensions and get on with pursuing our passions and purpose. And, 1212 asks that you stay on a positive path and to use your natural skills, talents and abilities to their utmost for the benefit of yourself and others. Today, allow the power of 1212 to help you get in touch with your feelings and express what's in your heart. Use the powerful energy to release what used to be and to become very clear on what you want and what you need to let go of. Use this powerful energy to give you the energy to change your story, your self talk and to develop a deeper connection with your inner self and with the Divine. And when you do connect with your intuition and the Divine, your path ahead will become infinitely clearer and easier for you to take the first step towards profound transformation.

Just for today, I am guided throughout this day in making right decisions. Divine intelligence continuously guides me in the realization of my goals. Divine harmony and peace dwell within me and all around me. I feel compassion, tolerance and love for all people including myself. I am safe, divinely guided and protected. Everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Intentions

We are pre-programmed to want a familiar reality even if it’s a reality of pain and suffering. So, it becomes our daily challenge to set our intention to grow and change despite the initial discomfort or our intrinsic resistance. Today, begin to acknowledge that if you want a new reality, you must begin with the intention to create something different. While there are other factors that affect the outcomes that you experience, your intention is one of the most powerful indicators. The bottom line is that you really must want to make change in your life, despite any fear that you may have. You must truly be willing to let go of what your ego wants and get clear on what you and your soul wants from your future. Today, make time to become more clear about your intentions of what you really want, moving forward. You do not need to know the exact details but the clearer you get in your intentions the more impactful they become. We are being given the chance to metaphorically begin again. Make time to take this opportunity to set your intentions because your intentions create your reality.

Just for today, I trust my intuition. I am willing to listen to the small still voice inside of me and when I do, I hear all the answers to all the questions I shall ever ask. The outer world does not touch me. I am in charge of my own being. I guard my inner world, for it is there that I create. I do whatever I need to do to keep my inner world peaceful. I am willing to change. I am willing to forgive. I am willing to let go. All is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Hope and courage

We all know that being afraid of the future is just as silly as being afraid of our own shadows, and yet we fear it all the same. We fear what we could possibly lose and we fear a bunch of what ifs. And, fear simply represents what could go wrong. If you think about it, hope is fear’s antithesis. In a way, hope is the reality we wish to see in the future, and fear is its shadow. The difficult part is overcoming that shadow with courage and hope. It’s something with which we all struggle. Today, let go of your need to know what comes next, to try to control everything and everyone in your life in an attempt to keep things the same, to keep them from changing. Today, fill yourself up with hope-the hope that in any moment whatever you are suffering with will change. The hope that all your challenges have made your wise and capable so you will be able to handle anything that your future brings you and the hope that today will always be a better day than yesterday. Today, allow hope to bring light into your darkness; to encourage you to reach out for the good of humanity and to just keep on truckin’ even when you think the goings are just too tough.

Just for today, my thinking is peaceful and calm. I surrender to what is. I let go of what was and I have faith in what will be. Whatever comes my way today, I know that I can handle it. I am a capable person. I trust the power that created me to protect, guide me and love me at all times and under all circumstances. Everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

The Art of Receiving

For many of us, no one ever taught us how to receive. In fact, you may have been taught that it is actually better to give than to receive. However, giving and receiving are yin and yang, the equivalent of the infinity symbol—looping back and forth, neither side larger than the other, both integral to the larger whole. And, when you only give and never allow yourself to receive, you most likely end up feeling resentful, angry and just plain depleted, not feeling satisfied or whole. Today, it is time for you to learn the skill of receiving. Begin by recognizing and acknowledging that you are enough just as you are and deserve to receive, even if you don't give anything. You are enough exactly as you are right now. The act of giving or receiving doesn’t change that at all. Next, create space for you to receive. This includes being aware of all the ways you can receive, whether it is accepting kind words, casual compliments or a stranger’s smile. Know that when you allow yourself to receive, you are becoming more comfortable with the art of receiving. Today remain conscious of how your receiving empowers those who are giving to you and begin to let others help you with grace and the profound gratitude that someone wants to be of service, to give to you and just allow yourself to receive.

Just for today, I am open and receptive to all the good and abundance of the Universe. I am now willing to be open to the unlimited prosperity that exists everywhere around me. It is becoming easier for me to ask for what I want. Today, I will ask for three things and people will be happy to give them to me. I am worthy of receiving. I am enough just as I am. Life brings me only good experiences. I am open to receiving new and wonderful changes. Everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

A day of integration

We are in eclipse season-the first one we experienced a Full Moon Eclipse on November 30th and we will experience a total solar eclipse on December 14th. This time in between the eclipses can bring up a lot of buried emotions. You may feel exhausted for no apparent reason or you may be having trouble sleeping. And, even though you may not be conscious of it, you and I are processing things on a deep level. Today, take time for yourself to process and synthesize all the lessons that you have been learning. By allowing yourself some space to process your feelings you will be able to navigate the bright new future which is on the horizon. Today, look within, listen to your feelings and allow yourself to integrate everything that you have learned from all the suffering and struggling of the past year.

Just for today, I allow myself to be quiet and still and I am amazed at what I discover. Life is just waiting to share its secrets with me. I listen to my feelings and I am gentle with myself. I know that all my feelings are my friends, not just the ones I like. As I move through the layers of other people's opinions and beliefs, I see within myself a magnificent being, wise and beautiful. I love what I see when I look within me. I am in the process of making positive changes in every area of my life. I am safe. It is only change and out of this situation only good will come. And so it is.

Our greatest challenges are our greatest teachers

ou and I have experienced so many challenging situations this year. And, as enticing as it may be to want to rush into the future and forget about what's behind, it is important to actively release the pain that you have experienced, as well as forgive those people who have disappointed you. And, as you let go of the people, places and things that do not serve any purpose in your life, be certain to thank them for the lessons that you learned from them. All those people and experiences may have hurt you but they did not break you. Today, thank them all for being some of your greatest teachers; for helping you to learn the lessons that you were put here on this planet to learn. The soul never sees mistakes, it only sees experiences for growth. Today, as you become clearer about why you experienced some of your challenges, you can now use what you learned to propel you forward towards your purpose. What you're here to do is often what you experience as a challenge. In getting through it, you can help countless others. Today, honor your gifts and your strength, which have come from your struggles and challenges. You are truly someone special-remember that today and allow yourself to let go with love and gratitude.

Just for today, I am willing to let go. I am grateful for experience that I have every had as they have shaped me into the person I am today and that is exactly who I am supposed to be right now in this very moment. The more gratitude I feel the more I am aware that the supply is endless. I recognize that I can create all the I wish for with my mind and my thoughts. I am truly someone special. I am safe and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Just let it be

It is not uncommon to want ourselves or our lives to be different. It is the desire to be a better person that pushes us to grow, change, and actually become better people. However, personal growth is often a slow and painful process, even if we think it should be easier or quicker. The expectation to be something we are not, whether temporarily or permanently, is a form of aggression toward our selves and often leads to frustration and overwhelming feelings. Today, consciously stop beating yourself up and acknowledge that you are a work in progress, which means you get there a little at a time, not all at once. The best thing you can do is to nurture yourself and to accept your circumstances just as they are-to just let things be what they are. Today, create some time to really listen to yourself and do not try to force yourself or your situation to be something it is not or something you think it "should" be. When you give yourself a break, you create space. Allowing things to be, just as they are, without judgment or expectation, allows you room to breathe. And that is good for clarity. Today, allow yourself to be weak when you feel week and fearful when you feel fear. Allowing yourself to be weak will in reality give you strength. Letting yourself be confused will give you clarity. Letting your life be complicated will actually simplify it. Today, just let things be and you may find things start to get better, if you let them.

Just for today, I accept all parts of myself. I recognize that healing means to make whole and to accept all parts of myself, not just the ones I like. I accept myself unconditionally and let go of the need to struggle and suffer. Life brings me only good experiences. I am enough and everything is working out for my highest good And so it is.

Forgiveness=Freedom

Living a life where you hold on to resentment, anger, and frustration toward someone is painful. Anger, bitterness, and resentment doesn’t change the past; it keeps you stuck in it. Today, liberate yourself by choosing to forgive, instead of wrestling with the reasons why you need to hold onto to your anger, resentment and pain. Today recognize that you deserve better! You deserve to free yourself from grudges and painful feelings. And you do so by stop thinking your way to forgiveness and begin to feel instead. Today, muster up the courage to go deeper, to feel the hidden emotions underneath it all. Remind yourself that this is something you’re doing for yourself, not for anyone else. Today, recognize that your traumas and difficulties in life can leave you feeling hopeless, resentful, and like a victim. They can be your excuse to stay stuck and not create the life we desire. Or the painful experiences in life can be your greatest gift. By learning to forgive someone once and for all, you tap into the blessings in disguise that come with any problem. In short, make sure that your greatest problem becomes your greatest gift.

Just for today, I am willing to forgive. I forgive everyone for all past perceived wrongs. I release them with love. They are now free and I am now free to move forward with love in my heart. I forgive myself for not being perfect. I am living the best way I know how. I forgive and set myself free. I am safe, divinely guided and protected. Out of this situation only good will come. And so it is.

The dawning of the age of Aquarius

We are ending an epic year with some epic energy and cosmic events, including a Total Solar Eclipse, two major planets changing signs and The Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in zero degrees Aquarius on the Winter Solstice, dramatically ushering in a new era- the Age of Aquarius! Oh yes, cue up the music, burn some incense and do your hippy dance because ⁠⁠hope, healing, and humanitarianism will be at the forefront of next year. However before we end this epic year, it is time for us to make time to ascertain what lessons we were intended to learn from all of our challenges. And, to get clear on your non negotiables, things you will not tolerate from the people places and things in your life. This year has taught all of us what we will no longer tolerate so that we can let go of them for good. Let go of the old stories that no longer serve you any purpose except to keep you stuck. Let go of the stories in which you are a victim because you no longer are one. Even if your identity is all about your sad luck stories, they are no longer true so let them go and create a new story one in which all your victimization does not exist. Today, begin the path to a whole new way of being one in which you are true to you.

Just for today, I am the star in my own movie. I am also the author and the director. I now create wonderful new roles for myself. I am willing to change. I am willing to let go of all the people, places and things that no longer serve any purpose in my life. I respect my boundaries and I insist others do too. I am safe, divinely guided and protected. All is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Hope

The more I live, the more I am convinced that living fully is a just a matter of perspective. It’s not about taking certain actions or reaching specific results; it’s about experiencing life through an open and positive perspective. So, today no matter what is happening in your life, no matter what negative patterns you have incorporated into you life or have become attached to, begin this day by consciously filling your heart with hope and the excitement that so much positive change is on the horizon. Know in your heart that whatever the day brings you that you can handle it and remind yourself that whatever you are experiencing that it is temporary and then look for things to get excited about. You always have a choice. Today, choose to be hopeful, choose to be kind to yourself and others. Choose to be at peace just where you are right now in this present moment and to fill your heart with hope for your future and the future of the world.

Just for today, I look towards my future with hope and happiness. I know that at any given moment I always have a choice between love and fear. I choose love. I choose to be at peace. I am safe, divinely guided and protected. I know only good awaits at every turn. All is truly well in my world. And so it is.

The present moment holds your peace

What you resist persists and by resisting reality, you become disempowered, hopeless, and stuck. During this time of enormous change it is easy to want to fall back into the "good old days" or stay stuck to your beliefs in what should happen next, causing unnecessary suffering. Today, set your intentions to remain as present as you can. For you see, by resisting and fighting what is happening, you are actually creating more of what you don’t want because you’re constantly focused on what you don’t want. The only way to create what you do want is full acceptance of what is. This is the place where you see possibility instead of limitation. Where you get creative. Where you can see solutions. Where you feel hope and maybe even some peace. Today, stay focused on what is in front of you, stay focused on this present moment. Celebrate it. Appreciate it. Even when you don’t feel like it. Especially when you don’t feel like it. Today recognize that small acts of appreciation and gratitude for the present moment can cause giant shifts in your life. Today, whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it. Accept what is right in front of you so that you can move on into a new now and a new normal.

Just for today, I know that if I focus on what I do not want, that is exactly what I will get more of. I recognize that my point of power is always in the present moment. I know that the past is over and done and has no power over me. I can begin to be free in this moment. Today's thoughts create my future. I am in charge. I take back my power. I create the life I desire. I am safe. I am free to move forward and no matter what happens, everything is always working out for my highest good. And so it is.
