The Winter Solstice begins on Monday, December 21, 2009 at 12:48 p.m. EST
Do you feel hope returning? Taste it! This is the season of possibilities. It sizzles in the air. Feel it! Fresh start, new year, new creations from the Void. That’s the energy of the Winter Solstice. In many ways it is a return to the Void where all potential resides. It is a time to turn your energies inward to assess, alter and make anew. The atmosphere is alive with new potentials waiting to unfold. Exciting, isn’t it!
Your year is winding down. Look back at your progress. Just for a moment, pick up a pen and write down ten things you accomplished in 2009. It could be in terms of physical accomplishment, emotional growth, new mental attitudes, survival of a challenge, gaining new insights into your life. Perhaps you were there for someone in need and made a difference in their life. Who did you help along the way? What hurdles did you cross? For many, 2009 was a year of challenge as karmic patterns unfolded. Many of you found yourself in new jobs, new financial situations, or in new family structures. This has been a year of clearing out blockages or old patterns in order to be prepared for the new energies to enter. Yet, it is difficult to really see what you have achieved if you don’t take time to recognize and acknowledge them. So, think about it. Write them down and rejoice in your accomplishments! This is the season of joy. That joy begins within you and bubbles out in to the world.
Reach out to your family, friends and others in the spirit of love and thankfulness for their presence in your life. Relationships are to be cherished, for it is the love you share with others that sustains you. Let the minor irritations wash away. Rather than scold, hold. (I like that little rhyme!) You can choose to be annoyed, or you can choose to smile and move ahead without having to say a word. Let it go, let it go, let it go. And know that someone will let your infraction go at some time in your future. For as you treat others, so too will you be treated. Tolerance must be promulgated in your world. It is very true that the love you share, the forgiveness you give, will return to you. Your life can be one of peace, acceptance and love if you would but express that from you. You know that your thoughts, words and actions act like magnets. What you send out, you attract back to you. Be the peace, be the love, be the joy that you want to see in your world. In the kindness you show to others do you spread kindness out in to your universe. During your day, remember to stop and ask yourself, “Is this a kind thing that I’m doing?” It is a good guidepost. For love is kind.
This is the season of gift giving. What is the greatest gift you can give another? Your acceptance of them. Without criticism, without telling them the way you think they could do it better, or how they should act differently, or think another way. Give the gift of simply accepting them lumps and bumps and all. You are all beautiful works in progress. So I speak to you now of acceptance, tolerance, peace. These are the building blocks of your future. In this space can growth occur.
The economy, it progresses. You can expect overall improvement but there will be setbacks along the way. Some major. This is not cause for discouragement but do continue with caution and conservation. Conservation in all resource management is important. I have spoken to you about this often and this theme continues. Conserve your resources. The need for clean water takes on more and more importance as awareness grows.
Innovation blossoms in a grand way. Be open to new ideas. The past can only serve you in the lessons you have learned from it. Let your past go. It is time to move on to new perspective.
And please, stop damning yourselves! Many of you continue to self criticize and this only hinders your growth. Love yourselves with a deep inner recognition of your inherent goodness. When you look in the mirror, look right in to your eyes, smile and say, “I love me, I’m my best friend”. Trust yourselves. You have been given the power to change your life and to change your world. Why do you doubt? The age of beating yourself up is over. When you self criticize, do you know you exaggerate that very quality you don’t like within yourself? You have added another log on to that fire, which keeps it ever burning stronger. Stop yourself. When that thought of self condemnation comes up, flick it off like a hot ash. Say, “That was the old me and I let it go. I love myself and know I express my High Self in me and through me.” That brings the High Self in, rather than pushing it away.
Before you can bring peace to the world, you must bring peace within yourself.
You can decide that 2010 will be your best year yet. How? Simply make the statement and then act as though 2010 is your best year yet. Your words and your actions create your life. As you walk through 2010, tell yourself, “This is my best year ever” and see how it unfolds. You will find remarkable your ability to face the ups and downs the year brings, because your attitude is one of ‘best year ever’. Give it a test run in December! I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. You know it is not the external event but your perception of the event that makes it what it is. And in that ‘best year ever’ mind frame, you will attract those things that make for a best year ever.
Dear friends, please know that you are loved. I know it is scary to be in your world sometimes. It can appear chaotic, out of control. Sadness and loneliness are very real. People hurt one another, wars break out between countries. Wars break out between friends and between family members. And having a good cry now and then is quite healing. But don’t dwell on it. Know that the Creator holds you in Mind at all times. And it is in that Mind that you live, and move, and have your being. There is nothing to fear. You are made of love, by love. Not a single one of you is alone. Just turn inward and your cup will be replenished. The strength and courage you need is there. Tap it! And with it comes a great knowing that it will all be all right. Accept the love that dwells within, it will ever sustain you, guide you, heal you.
So, I ask you to look towards 2010 with great joy in the knowing that all potential is ready to be tapped. For you can create the most wondrous year ever! The clay has been handed to you; have some fun molding your future. And know that giggles go a long way in paving a path of Light.
We walk together, my friends.
I bid you peace,
Aca’u
