Happy New Year Message: Slow Down, Let Go, and Listen

I am writing to first and foremost wish you the happiest of holidays and a magical new year!
I am also writing to share a bit about my year and a message I feel called to share. This message is really a reminder, as you already know it deep in your self, your soul. In short it’s a message about intuition, a message about slowing down, letting go, and listening.
Why? So you can get crystal clear and intentional about what you are bringing in to this New Year. I have no doubt that if you are anything like me, you are contemplating what to call in next.
First, however, I just want to relate, since I haven’t blogged in awhile, what a year it has been for me – graduating from an amazing life coaching program, traveling to many places including Bali, Turkey and Hawaii, moving out of my home in Denver, then living out of a suitcase for 6 months, and experiencing so much! The ups and downs of this year were trying at times but the graciousness and compassion of my community and family has been overwhelming. This year was significant in so many ways. I celebrated finding my soul mate. We were married on October 22 in Berkeley, CA amongst our closest family and friends. I can say without hesitation, that was the most magical, joyous day of my life so far.
I also moved forward with more training – I completed my Level I training & certification with Magis Group and ONE Freedom which allowed me to present their transformational model at a women’s retreat to 30 combat veteran women! I learned more in that week than I quite possibly did this whole year about the human experience, about the soul, about what is needed in the world… and just how simple and attainable it is! I also became angry when I got to see how brainwashed many of these women were about their “condition”. I realized my voice, and the message I came to present of how one can heal and transform themselves, do not align with the world’s current status quo in health and wellness. I also learned that it’s ok. Not only is it ok, it is wonderful and it is important to speak up, to speak my truth. For I would not be where I am if it weren’t for those voices speaking their truth that shaped who I am now.
While I am, in this moment, more grateful than I have ever been, I also feel joy knowing what is possible, not only for myself, but for everyone! More and more, it is clear to me that we can create ANYTHING we want. We must, however, be crystal clear, in our hearts more than anywhere else, about what it is we are creating… what it is we truly want to create.
So how do we do this? How do we get clear? How do we dissolve the old to create something new?
Well, first, don’t worry! I’ve come to realize the “Universe” guides us whether we know it or not. So, even if we do nothing, we are guided. We are lead to those opportunities that open our eyes, ears and hearts all the time, over and over again. And this path is perfect, not necessarily the most intentional, but perfect! Be warned however, this path can also be quite traumatic. Indeed, this may be the ultimate purpose of trauma – to wake people up! When we don’t get in the driver’s seat to slow ourselves down, the universe often does it for us, sometimes through illness, sometimes through a terrible accident. My husband had to crash into a mountain and nearly lose his life to slow down enough to realize that what he truly wanted to experience in life is love. To this day, he believes he was given a 2nd chance at life to experience love but he had to get crystal clear about his heart’s deepest desire first. Weeks on end in the hospital, being still, learning to walk again, provided the space in which he could call forth what mattered most to him – love, family, feeling his heart.
This leads me to the message, the reminder I feel called to offer out to you, and to myself – as we often teach that which we must learn ourselves:
1) Slow down, Slow Down, SLOW DOWN!!! You must slow down just enough to be still, long enough for the ripples of your life to slow down too, so that you can gaze into that body of water that is your life, your heart, and see with clarity what you must see. For me, that means minimizing external commitments & maximizing internal commitments. MEDITATE!! Taking 5 – 20 min a day to sit before a candle or some sacred symbol from a world that inspires you. If you don’t have experience meditating, have fun and try different forms, learn about different schools of spiritual practice and find what resonates with you.
2) LET GO!! Let go of what you think you should be doing. Let go of what you haven’t yet accomplished. Let go of those relationships that did not or do not work or serve you. Let go of any attachment or desire that brings desperation or contraction into your energy and emotional field. More and more I’m realizing, those things that we have to work hardest at – contrary to popular belief – are the things we are least aligned with. So if it feels like work, I know this might sound crazy, but don’t do it! Or… transform your relationship with it so that it doesn’t feel like work. Indeed, I’m discovering it is possible to have it all and be happy. When we are aligned with what we are doing, effort ceases to exist and when effort ceases to exist, time ceases to exist and then we can seemingly, miraculously, engage in juggling as many balls as we like and do it with ease & with grace!
3) Now LISTEN… Shhh… Be Silent. In that sacred space where you have slowed down enough and let go enough, there lie the answers to every question you could possibly have. It’s taken me years, too many years, to get to the point of realizing the wisdom within and trusting it. My hope is that my clients can get to this point more quickly than I did. We need, now more than ever, more people turning inward to the light that holds that wisdom. It’s the same light that threads us all together in this matrix of life. Some call it the collective conscience or the collective unconscious. Some call it love or divine spirit. Whatever it is, it needs to be acknowledged and given the same reverence and respect given to all that we know through science & technology. It’s time to balance the two worlds if we are going to find harmony in this world.
Slow down, let go, and listen. It’s called intuition, the language of the soul.
From this place, make it the most powerful, authentic, new year’s resolution(s) you have ever made and brace yourself for the ride of your life! May this year be the most magical, wonder & miracle filled year of our lives so far. And may love be the force all your resolutions align with. May you continue to move closer to your Truth and to Universal Truth.
Happy New Year!! Here’s to a year where so many calendars of the universe seem to converge! A year when it may be most critical for each and every one of us to slow down, let go, and listen.
Love to All!
