This is the time of year where we all take time to reflect on the previous year and begin looking forward to a new one.  In many ways with our usual cultural habits such as making our New Years resolutions, we acknowledge those areas of our life where we wish we’d paid more attention or perhaps taken better care of ourselves spiritually, emotionally or physically.  At a quantum energy level setting a New Year’s resolution is just like placing an order with the universe and then setting it free so it will manifest in our lives.

Looking back at 2005, I see that it was a challenging year for most of us. This is partly due to the intense nature of various spiritual energies realigning in order to prepare for the powerful prospect of all the upcoming 2006 energies. The rapid pace of 2005 also suggests further that we are rapidly preparing at a soul level for whatever future possibilities are available to each of us. Accessing these future potentials often requires letting go of previous habits or healing our emotions in order to widen our perception of reality.

We block many positive potential realities available to us due to unresolved matters that affect us subconsciously. New Years is the best opportunity to get to know ourselves much better and acknowledge those areas of our lives that need more loving attention. We need to look at what worked well for us in the previous year and what did not.  

Setting some future goals is always a part of making our New Years resolutions.  Before you make your resolutions, acknowledge for the year 2006 that you are a powerful creator. We all have the ability to manifest our heart’s desires whenever we chose.  Tapping into your own ability to be a conscious creator of your reality should be one resolution for your new year.

Try doing a visualization to start. If you could put in your order with the universe, what might your new year look like? Like most things in life- if you can see it, you can be it!  Ask yourself what things you are attached to in an unhealthy way and see yourself letting go of them. Ask yourself what you’d truly like to see happen in a positive way and see yourself making them happen.

One other suggestion I use is to take a piece of paper and divide it in half with a straight line vertically down the middle so you have two columns.  Label the column on the right side Old Energies and label the column on the left side New Energies. Place anything that you feel doesn’t work well for you or causes some resistance or struggle in your life into the column of Old Energies. Place the opposite or more positive aspect of those Old Energies into the New Energies column.

Once you’ve made your lists, look over the old and acknowledge your need to let them go. See them in your mind transmute or change into loving energies and float away into a blue sky.  Look at your new energies carefully. Ask yourself what you’ll need to do to help them manifest for you.  Use this list to make your resolutions for the coming year.  You can use both lists in your meditations sessions if you do them daily to let go of those Old Energies and embrace the New Energies you want more of.

We all have areas of our life that cause us to suffer and struggle. Try this coming year to look at these situations as divine opportunities to grow and learn more about you. All life situations are meant to allow us to learn and clear out old negative patterns and replace them with positive awareness of the deeper meaning in life.

Try to teach and allow yourself to shift your perceptions of all life situations. Challenge yourself to look at all situations in new ways. Don’t allow yourself to always see things in a fixed way you are used. Practicing this will allow you to find and embrace the deeper understanding you need to move forward and create the future in a way that helps you rather than blocks you. We all have the power to create positive things in our life all you have to do is try.

Let this New Year be a magical one! You have the power to create positive opportunities and manifest the happiness you deserve!
