I have a feeling, maybe you do too, that this is going to be your year. The year you make some important breakthroughs and go to a whole new level of clarity and living on purpose.
It's easy to make resolutions, promises to ourselves. But besides all the inspired resolutions, the question is, what needs to enter or leave your life to get there. What are you going to do differently and what support do you need to put in place to make the changes happen?
What do you really need to commit to this year? I'm not talking about action steps at this point, like eating less sugar. I'm talking about an overall committment like "Being more loving to myself and my body", "Allowing myself to be more successful".
I have two easy ways for you to receive clarity, clearing, and energy for moving forward, coming right up!
1. Tomorrow's proxy or distance session, Manifesting Monday, which I am planning to do once a month, to help you manifest money, support, helpful people, your health and relationship goals and intentions. More info at:
http://www.repattern.com/Manifesting_Mondays.shtml.
2. Next Saturday, my annual Manifest Your New Year's Intentions group by teleclass, at 10am Mountain, noon Eastern. More info at:
http://www.repattern.com/2011.shtml.
Instructions for how to prepare for the New Year's group will be in the next post.
If insanity is doing the same things and expecting different results, how do we get sane and grounded in making changes?"

Neediness: What' so wrong with it?
I wanted to share some helpful teachings for anyone who is going through depression, health challenges, hard financial times or being challenged in making a living. During these times, all of our self-doubts, our insecurites, questioning if we are good enough, if we have anything to offer..rear up out of the depths of our subconscious. It is not an easy place to be and I personally have visited those places this past year.
The worst part is not necessarily even the circumstances, but what we tell ourselves about them, what meaning we ascribe. It's easy to go into judgement and shame about being broke, depressed, unable to pay for the help we need, or even feeling unable to help ourselves. On top of what's going on, we layer on shame, self-critcism, etc. for being in a needy place.
A dominant idea in our culture--which almost all of us have bought into, whether we consider ourselves mainstream thinkers or not--is that being needy is about the worst thing. Rugged individuals, we are to be self-sufficient, able to pull ourselves up by the bootstraps at all times.
Look at how our culture treats people with needs--the poor, the homeless, the disabled, the elderly. Even in metaphysical circles, we are often reminded that we are creating our own reality. It is true--and ultimately,on the big picture level, So if we are broke or depressed, we have created that and it is up to us to get ourselves out of it.
On one level that is true--we are responsible for our lives and how we think, feel and react. AND yet, we're not doing it all alone--we are constantly co-creating that with a higher Intelligence and our soul's chosen life lessons, our destiny.
But when you are in a hurt child place, when all you can feel about life is a resounding NO, or you just want to be held and comforted, judgement and shame wont' help. They will just make you feel worse, more helpless and keep you down even longer.
Time for a fresh look at the whole idea of having needs. Here's a really positive perspective from Sufism which Mark Silver has shared in his writings on Heart of Business, bringing spirituality into the business arena. The Sufis say that being needy is the human condition. We are born dependent on our caregivers for food, water, warmth, touch and care...and throughout our lives we depend on food, water, air from the Earth. We depend on others for love, comfort, our life force itself comes from Source/Spirit/God. We can't live for long at all without taking in something from outside ourselves.
So why not accept that needs are part of being human, of being alive, rather than fight or judge this being human? We simply must depend on others, and on the Source of all, to help us--at times more than others. At those times, our "job" is to ask for grace, and to completely turn it over. When self-effort is completely beyond us, or we just need a boost, it's okay to ask. In fact, this is how balance is created in the Universe.
When you do ask, let yourself be receptive and open. Let the grace come in whatever form it will...the kindness of a stranger or a friend, an unexpected gift of food, money, a healing....an inspiration for a new way to make money..a mentor..a poem or song that uplifts you. Throw off the shame about being human and having needs and let the Source of All return you to a place of peace, connection, trust and hope.
We already know that we are "spiritual beings having a human experience"; now it's time to full embrace being human while having spiritual experiences!
Here's to embracing, celebrating and honoring our needs...and being open to having them met.
Many blessings,
Ellen

Passing on a Gift for you: Prayer Circle on the 11th of each month
Hi..I am writing to invite you to participate in a prayer circle that will take place on the 11th of each month, beginning in January. It's being offered by Jennifer McLean of McLean Masterworks. The Masterworks site and community is a very beautiful offering of some of the best healers and energy workers and you can participate at different price points from free to paying member.
She will be leading a prayer circle to take advantage of the energy of the 11th day..an energetic portal..you can donate $1.99 a month to support her costs or do it for free if you are not in a position to donate anything.
Here is the information I received from her:
11/11 PRAYER CIRCLE 12 MONTH PROGRAM (Starts Jan 11/2011):
Click here to take you to her link: http://www.mcleanmasterworks.com/1111PrayerCircle:
"I am excited to announce a new program designed to take
you through this amazing year of change openings and
opportunities.
I was guided to create a monthly prayer circle for you, and these
circles will occur on the 11th day of each month at 11 AM pacific
time. They will be recorded so you can listen later. The energy of
the prayer is captured in that moment and available to you on
the replay.
The guidance indicated that each of these days, that fall on the
11th each month in this year 2011, are mini portals of energy that
are designed as amplifiers of intention. We are leveraging this
energy to project intentions for each of us and the planet.
We are using the power of the group energy to create an even
stronger wave available to all who participate. We are, from
this, also creating an energy wave for all on the planet.
These monthly prayers will also assist you in seeing the light and
joy in your lives. We focus continually on what is right and good in
all situations. It is a practice that by the end of the year you will
do n aturally, that will in turn raise your vibration.
IT STARTS NEXT TUESDAY JAN 11, 2011 at 11AM PACIFIC
TIME! So sign up now.
I hope you will join us... it is sure to be life changing."
Many blessings for 2011, from my heart to yours,
Ellen

Happy New Year! Awaken to the Dream of the Earth
Happy New Year dear friends and readers. Mine is off to a wonderful start and I hope yours is too.
This poem was forwarded to me by Tracy Collins, a friend from the EmbodyDance ecstatic dance community in Santa Fe and I'm passing it forward to you. Enjoy!
Awaken to the Dream of the Earth
Let us remember within us
The ancient clay,
Holding the memory of seasons,
The passion of the wind,
The fluency of water,
The warmth of fire,
The quiver-touch of the sun
And shadowed sureness of the moon.
That we may awaken,
To live to the full
The dream of the Earth
Who chose us to emerge
And incarnate its hidden night
In mind, spirit, and light.
-excerpted from John O’Donohue’s “Praise of the Earth”, To Bless the Space Between Us: A Book of Blessings

Final gifts of the season!
Hello...I am enjoying the quiet stillness of the snow and cold, as the old year winds down. Many people enjoyed that energy on our call last night, the winter stillness. And perhaps it was also our theme, "Aligning with Acceptance, Optimism and Peace of Mind."
Here's the link to the recording--enjoy! It's slightly over an hour long. On the call I mentioned that the format of free calls will be changing in 2011--they will be teaching calls, and more of an intro to my work. The group repatternings will continue to be available through paid subscriptions or a la carte sessions, as will my Mercury Retrograde and Joyful Manifesting proxy sessions. I also mentioned a holiday special on private sessions for new clients, which you are welcome to take advantage of.
Many blessings,
Ellen
