2014 has been exceptionally transformative and has brought closure to very crucial issues in my life. I bless it and let it go with all the love I have because it has taught me numerous lessons all condensed and packed into one year. Many things that I was simply unable to let go, were taken over by Life to do the needful. Tis a year to remember forever. But now, there are new experiences to look forward to and new journeys to embark upon. And so, with much enthusiasm I embrace myself for new beginnings. It all gets summed up beautifully by Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov, a leading 20th-century teacher of Western Esotericism, in the following:
<<One year is ending and another is about to begin… But before thinking about the coming year, turn your attention for a moment to the one that is departing, and speak to it, for a year is a living being, and so you can talk to it. When you leave it, ask it to remember you. As it is alive, it does not remain idle: it has recorded not only your actions, but also your wishes, feelings and thoughts. On the last day it reports to the lords of destiny, and it connects you to the new year: you must be able to say goodbye to it before it goes for good.
As for the new year, you can begin to prepare for it consciously, by setting a goal for yourself: to get rid of a bad habit, develop a certain quality, put a plan into action for the good of all. With this thought, this wish, it is as if you were placing a first stone, and then all the benevolent spirits in nature will bring you their help, so that you can carry out your plan. These are the things you should be concerned with today: welcoming the new year in and placing yourself under the protection of the light. >>
