The New Year 2022

So here we are, within hours of the end of 2021.  At the end of each outgoing year, I like to take some time to tune in and see what the incoming year has in store for us.  I do not make predictions per se, but instead tap into energetic trends and do my best to describe them.  These trends may or may not resonate with you, so take what does and ignore the rest.

Actually, the energetic patterns for 2022 have been coming into my awareness for the past few weeks already.  That is not how this usually goes for me.  Normally I sit in meditation a day or so before writing this yearly post, receive the information, and then write about it.  This time, it has literally been whacking me over the head! 

What does this mean?  In linear time in this 3D 4D matrix, we exist on a time line of past, present and future.  Literally, our past informs our present, which is easy to see, but our future also informs our present, which is a bit harder to comprehend.  That is what is happening now with 2022. 

So let me describe the energy that is making itself known for 2022.  It is very chaotic and confusing, chopped up and very segmented.  The various individual parts do not seem to connect.  There is the sense that people will not be clear on what direction they need to take.  Who can you trust?  What do you need to do?  There will be a lot of ups and downs in this great reshuffling.  Look at the stock market and the travel industry right now for example.  And what about all of the confusion surrounding the COVID and its related issues?

Not to worry, as the chaos will turn into order eventually.  Often the breakdown of structures, in other words chaos, is needed for something new to form.  I sense that by September more or less, things will start to even out. 

In your personal life, you may resonate with what I am saying, and feel that you are also in a state of breaking down so that you can create something new.  Here is my advice.  Do not make any rash decisions, as you will be creating a new foundation that needs to be very steady and solid.  Trust your guidance and intuition no matter what circumstances are presented that may derail you.  Stay the course.  Do not be tempted to conform to the status quo!  The key here is to know yourself fully as best as you can so that you can make independent decisions based on that knowing. 

Wow!  Does this sound like a new human and a new society will be emerging?  Perhaps I am being a bit optimistic, but I truly believe that this is where humanity is heading. 

Spend each day with a bit of meditation and inner connection.  Ground yourself fully and spend time out in nature.  Remember that Mother Earth is here to nurture and support us.  We are all spirit having a temporary physical experience, so don’t take things too seriously.  Love yourself deeply.  Relish the adventure that you are having right now, and don’t forget to have some fun!  Happy New Year everyone.   We are certainly living in interesting times.

BTW--the photo above is of my latest free form crochet project.  Kind of looks like 2022, doesn't it!  

Pioneer Holiday Cheer

Here in Cedar City, we have the Frontier Homestead State Park Museum.  It has an indoor space and an extensive outdoor space featuring exhibits depicting the lifestyle of the original pioneers that settled this area.  It is all very educational!  

The other night, I went over to photograph the very excellent holiday light displays.   Here is a sampling of the magical scenes.  Happy holidays everyone!

Winter Solstice

 

Happy Winter Solstice to everyone!  That is, for those of you in the Northern Hemisphere.   The solstices and equinoxes are organic markers for the movement of the sun around planet earth.  The native peoples celebrated these yearly milestones.  In the American southwest, Winter Solstice is still celebrated as the start of the fertility cycle and the return of the sun.  On a lot of reservations, there are days of dancing and ceremony.

I regard this date as my new Year's Eve, and the next day as the start of my New Year.  I do not celebrate Christmas, and I always like to say that after the height of the solstice, everything quiets down.  It is a time for hibernation and the incubation of the energetic seeds that have been planted. 

So on Tuesday night December 21^st, I will do my usual bowl burning ceremony in my back yard.  I will be burning a paper on which I have written what I am releasing from the outgoing year, and my positive intents for the year to come.  I invite you to do the same, in your own fashion.  

Re-membering Who You Really Are

With the New Year closing in rapidly, I thought I’d write a bit about how to prepare.  Whether your New Year starts on the Winter Solstice here in the Northern Hemisphere, as mine does, or on the actual calendar date of January 1^st, it is not too early to start contemplating what you would like to create for 2022.  Of course in the Southern Hemisphere, a big Summer Solstice ceremony would be in order to prepare for January 1^st!

This is where the re-membering comes in.  Your new positive intent should come from a place of acknowledging and owning your embodiment as an infinite creator being of spirit having a brief experience on this earthly plane.  You are all creator beings that have chosen to be here and have your experiences, no matter how distressing those experiences may appear to be.  You made a plan before you arrived here.  There are no accidents or coincidences, as ALL is a part of your plan, and takes place by your permission on some level.  So, how can there be any victims either?  Victimhood is a viewpoint used by someone who has forgotten who they really are. 

The subject of suffering has come up lately, too.  Again, no matter how dire the situation may be, suffering is always choice.  The physical body may feel pain, but it is not necessary to attach the emotion of suffering to that pain. 

So your intents for the New Year should reflect your re-membering that you are a powerful creator being who has chosen your experience here, and are totally in charge of your life and your life’s events. 

So this brings me to the second part of this post.  It has become painfully clear to me that a long standing relationship with a spiritual teacher that is very dear to me has come to an end.  I have known this person for over 10 years, and in the beginning, the information given was so very inspiring and true to the way things really are.  I know that these early teachings were extremely helpful to thousands of people, as so many needed to be set on the right and true path at that time. 

Unfortunately, the original clean and pure spiritual teachings and principles have been tossed by the wayside in favor of over engagement with the ongoing Covid panhysteria drama.  Now what is projected is a lot of fear, suffering, and victimhood.  This is not what our “spirit” needs at this time on the planet.  As a friend of mine recently put it, there is too much “problem” , not enough “solution” being put forth in month after month of webinars.   

There you have it in a nutshell.  I will of course be posting more as the solstice and New Year approach, in addition to an energetic prediction for 2022.  Information on that has already been coming in, which is a bit early for me!  That must mean something.  To be revealed soon!
