2012 is here folks. There are lots of projections about how intense this year is going to be. I have been feeling like its going to be a "big" year myself. What is actually happening? What is happening in "here" (in us, our hearts, minds, bodies) is what is happening out "there". Struggle, war, disease, confusion, sure. But also, a real awakening, opening, the longing to connect in deeper ways with eachother is being giving a voice. the voice is represented by the actions that we are carrying out in our day to day. the way we embody and represent union with everything is not only exhibited in lofty goals that we set, but it is in each breath, each thing we do, think, say moment to moment. do not let others huge plans of success marginalize your offerings to the world. as i write this i am reminding myself of this as well. when we remember that we are all the same source, the "one" we can breath in the successes and fortunes of others as our own. we can rejoice that others are moving forward, expanding, increasing our "light quotient". each of us has something unique that only we can offer.
no one can do it YOUR way. another aspect that I want to point out which may seem obvious is that this is your life, and you can do whatever you want with it. ok, breathe. really take this in. you can do whatever you want. i don't think most people actually live this way. this is a stern reminder that we are free. liberation is not somewhere we need to get to. it is what we are already. how are we un-liberating ourselves day to day? what are the ways that you have put yourself in a cage and remained small. we all do this in some form. but it is a new chapter. we are not serving anyone through staying small, quiet, contracted. 2012 is the year to be reborn, stretch out your wings and see how big you can possibly be, how high you can fly...
affirm that you are free, unlimited, and unique. know that when you use your gifts you inspire others to do the same and this creates a positive ripple affect throughout the world.
The archetype I am getting is that of the Phoenix. rising out of the ashes, the Phoenix is reborn, and sings a beautiful song as it emerges from the ashe. this image is powerful. the part of the cycle that we are coming into for 2012 is that of rising out of the ashes. some of us may still be feeling the burning, but after the fire there will be rebirth, to be sure. this could take the whole year, whatever. the timing doesn't matter. be real. be honest about where you are and what you can give. give yourself breathe first. gain the phoenix's perspective from up above, see that there are bigger forces at work.
