What is calling you forward?

The new year is only a breath away.

It traditionally represents an ending, a letting go of the old . . .  the completion of a calendar cycle. Although we often don’t want to look “back,” taking a brief glimpse over your shoulder and honoring and celebrating, allows you to tune in to what calls you forward.

This glance back, the shaman's way, is very conscious.

Here are a few prompts as you think about this last year:

•    What were your 3 biggest wins? They may be personal or professional.

•    What core lessons did you learn?

•    What is the main high vibration takeaway you are grateful for?

Write your answers on paper since you want to take the words into ceremony, the energetic vehicle for transformation.

The next step is to “release” this past year back to spirit in gratitude, honoring and celebration.

Take your full list from above, or just core words and use your own favorite ceremony: wind, water, fire, earth.  Your prayers can be buried, burned, thrown into the ocean or whispered to the wind.

Release your list . . . all in gratitude. 

Release to spirit through your prayer. It can be as simple as: “Thank you for one more year of being present on this amazing blue/green ball of light we call Earth. Gracias, gracias, gracias.” 

Now you are ready for what calls you forward. This process was created by my good friend and fellow shaman (and medium), Mary Agnew.

As the new year begins, set aside a time for stillness and connection to the earth, when you can drop into your inner wisdom . . . .again with a paper and pen.

1. Ask yourself: What does my life need now? Write the answer you receive.

2. Ask again – What does my life need now? Write the answer you receive.

3. Ask again – What does my life need now? This time – draw an image or symbol.

4. Ask yourself: What does this symbol mean to me? Write the answer you receive.

To bring even more potential to your wisdom, release your answers to ceremony.

Enjoy, play . . . ask other questions using the same process.

What is calling me forward”

What seeds do I need to plant?”

What dream do I need now to create a life I love?”

So much love and see you in the new year,
