FOCUS ON THE LIGHT

It’s been a big month just gone, beautiful souls. It’s been a big year. Each year the pace seems to be getting faster and the mayhem more ridiculous.

But this month we are being asked to calm down.

The whole world has been charged with chaotic energy over the last little while and now is the time to settle and be still.

This doesn’t mean we need to cancel all the end of year parties and tell the family that Christmas is off for this year.

It simply means that now is an important time to reconnect with your spirit and to find your true north.

You might find that when you sit still at first a lot of emotions want to rush forth. This is really normal and is a really, really good thing. Because those emotions, my friend, needed to come out. And they’ll make their presence felt one way or another – either by sitting in stillness and releasing them, or by one too many wines and a rubbish bin in the corner of your office floor at the work Xmas party.
You decide.

Once this initial rush of emotions has passed – and for some of you this will be gentler as you’ve already processed much of it along the way – once it releases you’ll find yourself in a deep space of calm.

This is where you want to be. This is where you can find your light.

For the light is within all of us, and in fact is around all of us. And this is where we do our best work.

When we can focus on the light and appreciate all that has come our way, both good and bad, we can elevate ourselves to a place of gratitude and understanding.

From this space we gain a greater sense of peace and we make a greater impact in our world.

Because what’s the point of this whole “life” bizzo if we can’t leave things a little better than how we found them?

Acknowledge and honour yourself for all that you’ve had to endure over these last few months and know that they were brought to you to bring you closer to are destined to be.

It’s as if you’ve just finished a massive year at the School of Life and now you are getting ready to make your way out into the world.

What have you learnt from this year gone by?

What do you want to take with you?

What are you determined to leave behind?

Take some time this month to ask yourself these questions so that you can feel the full benefit of the journey you’ve been on this year.

“Beloved one, though the road has felt like a particularly windy one we encourage you to keep going. For all that you have achieved and all that you have done has brought you one step closer to your place of illumination and state of ultimate peace. Please keep trusting in us and know that our guidance is always with you. If you listen you will always hear the answers and the response. With love.”

Once you’ve taken the time this month to honour and reflect upon all that this year has brought you it is time to look towards the sun. For we know that each day begins anew with the rising of the sun, and so we know at the close of 2015 there will be a new rising of the sun in 2016.

What is this year going to be?

Who are you going to honour in 2016 – yourself, your relationships, your friends?

What is the one thing that you want to achieve in 2016?

If you sit quietly enough, and you ask with full earnest, you will be told what 2016 is going to be for you. Often it is just one word, but this word will guide you forward and be the anchor that you can draw yourself back to whenever you feel as though life is getting off track.

For me 2016 is going to be the Year of JOY.

What will it be for you?

With love,

Erin xx
