Meditation for 2010: A New Beginning

December 31, 2009

Blessings All;
So, a dear friend of mine, in another part of the state, snowed in by this wonderful surprise of a snow this afternoon, called. We spoke of how 2010 sounds so much more lyrical and flowing, and of the optimism around that particular energy of FLOW. Perhaps it is the time of movement, indeed!
Via Numerology, 2009 was an 11/2 year, Justice and Balance were the key words. And as we look back wasn't that so; We struggled iwth elements of Justice, legal as well as personal...what was fair and what was not. We also teetered on the edge, not quite catapulting out of balance into complete choas, but walking the razor's edge, and not being too comfortable about it. 2010 is a #3 vibration which denotes growth, fertility and movement. it also is represented by The Empress or the Divine Mother, very nurturing and nourishing.

So, my friend and I decided to work with the betwixt and between, the graying time, to work a little spell casting for this time of the Full/Blue Moon...At 5 pm we are joining forces to read a meditation (see www.carolynmannorriley.com for The Shawl of Everlasting Love meditation from ArchAngel Michael) and draw in some positive energy for the New Year.

So, trusting again to the Higher Intuitive, I shuffled and she named the number that came to her mind and we drew inspiration , one card each for the Four Directions for New Year. I always begin around the circle in the Native American tradition of East South, West and North. I will lay the cards in each direction and light a candle beside them and then join the energy in a circle drawn with sea salt. My mega quartz, Ananda, will anchor the center and under it I will place my ten wishes for the New Year. I will seal the Circle with Reiki symbols and she and I will both meditate for about 15 minutes. I love meditating with sound and I have with me Chanting by Sri Shamji Bhatnagar. The chant is the "Bajaranga Bali", the mantra for overcoming fears, being courageous and loving-Courage- which, I think, we all need a bit of as we embrace 2010.

In the EAST
The first card drawn is from The I Ching deck:The Ta Yu Hexagram #14 ABUNDANCE
Above is LI: Fire*Brightness*Elegance
Below is: CH'IEN: Creative*Active*Heaven
The message is: What takes place is believed only after it has been accomplished. There will be great progress and success. Advantage will come from being firm and correct. In that case occasion for repentance shall disappear.
In the SOUTH
From the Archangel Oracle Deck: PASSION , THE ARCHANGEL HANIEL
The message reads: "trust and follow your renewed passion in your lovelife and career"
"playing it safe can lead to staleness and depression. You've asked for more happiness and direction. it is safe for you to take risks and follow your heart's desire. When you feel strong knowingness, alongside a burning passion, pay attention as this is my way of giving you information about your next step"
In the WEST the Direction of Healing, from THE GODDESS ORACLE;
MOTHER MARY
The message is: "Expect a Miracle":"Have faith that your prayers have been heard and answered.Without Faith the future looks very frightening. Keep the candle of Faith burning in your soul, as that one small inkling of hope can eradicate the darkness of despair. Be the light that eliminates someone else's gloomy hopelessness as well. For as you make others stronger, it strengthens not only yourself but the entire world"
In the NORTH, a totem animal from THE WISDOM OF AVALON DECK
THE SWAN #12/3
TRANSFORMATION/Trusting your psychic gifts
"This signal a period of growth that will ultimately be life changing. You may change so much that you may not recognize yourself in the end. It is time to honor and love this change within yourself, for then only the most beautiful reflection will shine back at you from the mirror of your life. Trust your intuition to guide you through this process of change. The Swan reminds you to see with your heart and listen with your spirit and the whole world can be magically transformed."

So, my darlings, Blessings on this new unfolding. Meditate tonight with someone you love or simply hold this whole world in your thoughts for a moment. Possibility and Potential lies within each passage of Challenge and Adversity.
May 2010 Flow and shimmer with magical potential.
Happy New Year
