Beginnings and Endings

The energy of the month is about beginnings and endings. It is time to wrap up the remainders of the old that are lingering or peaking around the corner to be reviewed. And it is most definitely time for the writing of that new chapter to begin. Take this into perspective as that which needs viewing pops in.  Allow it to be laid to rest, given over, surrendered, surrounded in peace. Once and for all, allow yourself to move forward and be free.

But how you ask. What is coming to mind, or more likely doing laps through your head, as it’s wanting to be rescued and resuscitated and released is the stuff that needs to go.  It’s the stuff that needs resolve.  Too often we tackle this head on by none other than our head, but this never works, as our heads, in that state of attempting to solve our soul remains doesn’t have the answers. We need to sink down into our hearts in order to be led through the lesson and out into the light. 

Know that whatever memories, insecurities, doubts, are surfacing are doing so because they are still embedded within you and are contributing to your overall well ( or not so well) being. Many times we are surprised by what comes up, or comes back around, thinking it was so long ago, or believing we had found some resolution already. Bit alas they come once again to a head in order to show us that what’s buried may be unconscious, but out of sight isn’t out of mind. When we toss these things aside, or stuff them further, in order to avoid dealing with them or unsure of how to face them, we only end up meeting them again on another day, at another time. This hide and seek doesn’t serve us.  It delays the progress of our growth and keeps us stuck on a treadmill, until we find another way.

We can find strength and resolve through intending that we are not those thoughts that haunt or hinder us.  We can become more balanced and whole by deciding to separate our selves from them in a healthy way and releasing our selves from the energy signature that they hold. We can justify our detachment from that story by deciding it’s time to tell a new one, and by gifting ourselves with a fresh perspective, a clearer outlook based on truth, and a chance to do it differently.

The longer we hold onto stories that undermine our joy, the longer we struggle in a life that doesn’t seem like our own. And it’s not our own, our life, as long as we give our power to a story that depletes us. We have absolute power over what plays out in our lives, as far as how we respond to it and how we determine what’s important and right. When we give away our power and place it in the hands of a mind whose mantra is unholy, we find ourselves in a place of unrest and we long for the peace that we know on some level we deserve.

Isn’t it time now, as this new year approaches, as the old one comes to a close, to start a new chapter filled with exciting endeavors, enticing ideas, irresistible love and abundance? Isn’t it time for the tides to turn and for your story to be one of peace? This doesn’t have to be a fairy-tale-only situation. We have what we need to turn the page and make it new. We have the strength, and the wisdom, and the love that we need to be and do and have everything that we desire.  And when it all comes down to the final cut, the most important, and by far the most precious, of all that we could experience in life are the moments of joy, peace, and love.

As this holiday season rolls in to remind us of the spirit of those elemental truths, be mindful of what you are most appreciative.  Be grateful for the gifts of the lessons that have played out in all of your previous chapters, and the ones that are playing out now, as they bring you the opportunity of finding closure and the chance to know yourself on a deeper level.  As the year comes to a close, remember the tools you have gathered along the way and resolve to bring them forward into your next chapter, into your tomorrows, and into your better days.

Be of the spirit of mindfulness and trust in your ability to do what you came to do.  No other can do it quite like you. Let go of what needs put to rest.  Bury it,  burn it, become your own entity absolved from it. But be careful to bless it before it goes, as it offers insight into what you are ready to leave behind and clues about who you are growing into.  As each day is new, so are you, and fresh is the moment to be rich with a new way of being.  Let your new chapter be filled with love, enrichment, and creativity. Bring to it all that your heart desires. Be certain that you write the page.  And be filled with the knowing that you are loved.
