Happy New Year & Joyful Manifesting starts tomorrow night !

Wondering if I've really lost my mind this time?  Wasn't New Year's Day on January 1st? Well.....

Could be that I've lost my mind, and that might not be as big a problem as you'd think (ha!). Mental functioning tends to be overrated anyway..how many problems or issues really get solved in the mind...in fact the video mentioned below explains how Human Design views the mind energy and that it is NOT really designed for problem solving on its own without input from elsewhere.  

Still there is a reason why I am wishing you a Happy New Year TODAY and it's because today is the New Year in Human Design. If you haven't heard of it yet, Human Design is a fascinating system that includes astrology, IChing, numerology.   The links below will send you to Karen Parker, and one of her Youtube videos, explaining what the New Year in Human Design is all about.

In short, today, this whole weekend is a good time for dreaming, meditating and visioning, not only for the coming year, but laying the groundwork and setting intentions for the next TEN years.  

A PERFECT and POTENT TIME to lay the energetic groundwork, setting intentions and initiating a new design for your life for the next TEN years.  What IS your vision?   Could you use some help on getting clear about it or opening to the possibilities of actually manifesting it? 

As Karen Parker invites you to do on the video, I invite you to: Think Big, Think Abundant, Heart-Centered Sustainable. Envision what you want and choose for your life and the world you want to live in. 

Remember, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world"

Because today is also the full moon in Leo, it's time for our first Joyful Manifesting series of 2016--3 days of obstacle clearing and vision alignment. You can sign up until 7pm Eastern, tomorrow (Sunday) night.(see PS below for how to do that), or just go to www.joyfulmanifesting.com (Sorry the 2015 dates are still there but you can sign up for the gold membership there for 2016.  I need to get 2016 dates out!). 

Joyful Manifesting has been providing powerful and convenient transformation (come on, how often do THOSE two words show up in the same sentence?) for...wow...8 years now.  

Some of my clients are raving fans of these sessions and have been repatterned monthly, making tremendous changes in their inner and outer lives through these sessions.  Some use this as their primary clearing modality and supplement with occasional private sessions.  Any way YOU want to use it, take advantage of this energy for ongoing clearing, upliftment and living a more joyful and intentional life!  

My ability to clear seems to grow each year, the clearer I get, the more I surrender to spirit and the guidance of my Soul. For 2016, besides added POWER, Joyful Manifesting has a new feature: a third intention around LIFE VISION.  Each month you will add to your two other manifesting intentions, a third one for "I live my vision of _____" which you will also write down and be aligned/repatterned for. 

Join us--as a gold member you get 6 months of clearing for just $57 a month, billed once a month. Plus discounts on private sessions plus gift a friend for $20.  

OR do just this month as a silver Member and get your year--and this 10 year cycle--off to a rockin start!   Let me know you want in by sending an email to HeartsAbode@gmail.com OR register at my website by 7pm tomorrow Sunday January 24th

The REAL New Year begins now...2015 planetary energies

Human Design is a super-useful system for understanding yourself and your blueprint for happiness and success.  Here's a message from Karen Curry Parker, my favorite Human Design teacher and author (Her book, Understanding Human Design makes this complex system totally understandable.)

It will also give you insight into the energies of the year. What are you really longing to re-imagine and create anew in your life? Can you give yourself permission to dream bigger?  She also mentions the dreamy quality of this particular Mercury Retrograde..watch for another post here about the January to February 2015 retrograde..

Karen's message is so inspiring, and a beautiful confirmation of my moving more into Tapping Into Wealth coaching and helping women move beyond the limits of the past..

From Karen, posted 1/22 in my email: 

…Today is the first day of the Human Design New Year!  I'm sorry I'm late in wishing you a happy New Year.

The energy this year is all about foundation laying.  We are preparing for even bigger shifts on the planet and discovering what we need to do to move in the direction of making our dream our reality.

The last few years have been rough and focused on releasing karma and letting go of old patterns that have kept us stuck and locked into choices that have not served our highest good.  The energy now is lighter, more joyful and full of promise for the future.  

In the summer of this year, the focus will be money and how to create more abundance, especially on the material plane.  It's a great year to start a new business or radically change your relationship with money.  

The Human Design year always starts with the energy for creativity and dreaming.  That which we dream in our minds can, ultimately, become our reality.  In addition, we start this year with Mercury in retrograde in the Gate 13, the Listener, causing us to review the past and discover what we need to release in order to move forward.  

This is a dreamy energy that pushes us to evaluate what is working in our life and to focus on those areas of growth.  Dream big. Take some time to day dream and envision what you'd love to create this year.  Now is the time to nurture your dreams. 

Completion Process for 2014 and entering 2015

Transitions are very important, and can be a time when we lose "chi" or energy.  Especially in this culture which is so future oriented, we just jump into the New, or the next project, activity, phase of life, year ahead without taking time to focus on the cycle, project, relationship or year just ended. In this "hamster on the treadwheel" we are always focused on what's next, and what we didn't complete or get done, from the past.  We want to leapfrog past the lessons, the disappointments, the seeming failures--right into goal setting.  Looking at and honoring the past, honoring the 'shadow'-the uncomfortable stuff as well as the 'light' gives us grounding and stability.

 To be fully realized and effective in the world (yang expression), requires the support of the 'yin field'--the pause for introspection, the slowing down and turning inside.  This process below, will help you do just that, and come to closure and completion with the year just past.  I suggest that you take some time to do the following process around New Year's and over the next few weeks. 

According to Human Design, the New Year doesn't really begin till January 21st anyway.  Relax...let go of all this artificial  pressure about "New Year Goals or Resolutions".  Your New Year can start anytime you want it to...doesn't have to be January 1st.  Take time now to do the following Closure process and the new year will come into focus soon.

In this Closure/New Beginnings process, we not only name our regrets, we also take time to look at what DID work, what went well, what we appreciate about ourselves or our lives, what skills we learned, even to acknowledge our accomplishments.    This is part of RBCS (Retrain Your Brain to Celebrate Success), a very important key to staying motivated that I use in Tapping into Wealth  coaching and all my work.

Closure/New Beginnings Process **

This process is done at the completion of anything--a relationship, a career, a phase of life, a project, in order to bring closure and integrate the learning from the experience.  

 By coming to closure, we become oriented.  What does it mean to be oriented? We all know what disoriented means--so oriented is the opposite.  It means we know where we are in time and space.  We aren't lost in the past or floating in the future.  When we are oriented we are fully present, grounded and connected to our hearts.  We can see the options in front of us, we perceive the situation more clearly and can identify the best way to solve a problem or to move forward. 

 

Using this closure/new beginnings process for each phase of your day, relationships and life, enables you to clear the slate, to go into a new phase or new beginning with more energy. This process also helps you to let go of regrets and make peace with the past. 

When you are doing this process for the ending of a phase of your life, you may want to repeat this process over several days or even weeks to help you come to closure.  It’s best to do this in writing if you are alone, or speaking the answers out loud to another person who is partnering with you (or just listening to you).

You may also choose to do a Resonance Repatterning session with me, which will include this closure process and much more.

How to do the closure process:**

1. Preparation: First close your eyes. Begin to breathe slowly and rhythmically through your nose.

 

2. Relax your body: On the exhale, breathe out and relax—starting with your eyes, mouth and jaw.  Let your awareness move down your body and consciously relax each part, first neck and shoulders…then arms..next, the  chest, belly and hips.  Relax your upper, middle and lower back.  Breathe deeply, letting go as you now relax your thighs, lower legs and feet.

As you do this, notice if you are holding any tension and let it go. 

3.Connect to your heart: Bring awareness to your heart.  Receive love on your in-breath, radiate your love out on the out-breath, to people you're close to, to everyone in your group and to the world.  When you feel ready, open your eyes. Take your time.

4. Appreciation: Name what you appreciate about what you have just completed. What have you learned or received that is important and valuable to you?  How have you grown?

5. Regrets:  Do you have any regrets about what happened or did not happen?  About yourself or the actions of others?  Instead of moving on right away, when we acknowledge a regret, it becomes a powerful learning for us.  What is the lesson of the regret? Sharing your regret(s) usually generates immediate forgiveness and love. 

By accessing and naming your regrets you are able to let go of the tension, stress or pain that your regrets create, and orient yourself to love once more. 

Solutions/Advice not necessary: You don’t have to come up with a solution when someone is sharing their regrets.  Just listening with love (or acknowledging yourself with love) as someone names their regret, opens the space for great healing. 

6. Release and let go: After sharing your regrets, take a deep breath and relax, making a “Ha….” Sound.  Now get up and move, shake the energy out,  stretch, dance  or move your body freely any way it wants. 

7.  Doesn't that feel better? Now you are ready to focus on your next phase and new beginnings!
