The Spirit of Winter creates an opening for us to slow down, to go deep within and illuminate the new dreams we are being called to create for ourselves, our families, our communities, and our planet. At the full circle completion of each New Year, we have a powerful opportunity to align in collective unity as we choose to embody gratitude, reflect on our previous year of growth, and clear the space within to nourish our growing dreams.
You are invited to create sacred time and space to honour your living dreams and explore the guiding questions below, responding in your favourite journal. Perhaps you are called to sit in solitude by the warmth of a fire with a delicious cup of tea, or perhaps you are called to invite a group of friends or family to explore these questions together and share.
Gratitude
Imagine being in your heart, activating all of your heart’s senses:
- What do you appreciate in your life in this present moment?
- Ask your heart to help you remember the most important gifts of learning and growth you received in the past year.
- List each gift.
- What are you grateful in having learned from these gifts?
Clearing & Making Space
In preparation of new dreams and projects we are calling to create in our lives, it is lifesupporting to clear room for their rooting and growth.
Enter your heart, activating all of your heart’s senses, as you wonder:
- Is there anything I need to let go of that no longer serves my growing potential?
- What old ways are no longer serving me that I can transmute & compost and utilize for my new growth?
- What is a simple ceremony I can do to release and compost these old ways, making room for the new?
Dreaming
The Universe supports us as we create time to be clear with our intentions, values and beliefs that make up our living foundation within.
Imagine being in your heart, activating all of your heart’s senses, & exploring:
- What do I desire to happen in my life this year?
- What do I want to do – things I want to accomplish?
- What areas of growth do I want to focus on?
- What beliefs, attitudes, or imprints do I want to transform?
- In what areas or relationships do I want to experience peace and resolution in?
- What decisions do I want clarity in making?
- Where and how can I deepen my life of service?
- What do I want to experience in a new way?
- What nourishes my soul that I would like to continue?
Creating
Imagine being in your heart, allowing your heart to guide you to the Dream Tree of Life within. What does this Tree of Life look like, feel like, sound like, smell like?
What would it be like to discover 3 dreams in this tree – one in it’s roots, one in it’s trunk, and one in it’s branches – that support the greatest growth for you and our world?
Write them, activated in the present tense; for we create as we speak….abraq ad habra!
- First Dream in the roots:
What is the first step I am taking to create this dream?
- Second Dream in the trunk:
What is the first step I am taking to create this dream?
- Third Dream in the branches:
What is the first step I am taking to create this dream?
May this year be all that we dream it to be!
Thank you for these thoughtful, heartfelt questions and suggestions to support us in stepping forward into 2018. Blessings!
