A New Year's Gift

Let the count-down begin. Hard to believe we're here, 2026! As you reflect back on the year and look forward to the next, it's easy to look at external milestones and form judgments around that, but let's go within instead.

Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and open the door to the unknown. How far you have traveled! Feel the Milky Way beneath your feet and follow the spiral suddenly illuminated to the Galactic Center. What you see astounds you. There you are in the very center, dancing. Is it a reflection or the real you? Can both be true simultaneously?

You may want to get out your magnify glass, perhaps a notepad, a pencil, but no need. All wisdom is already contained within, like sculpting a stone. You are the stone yet also the image. What shape do you see emerging?

Sure we live on the material plane and it's nice to make one's way in the world but often success is mistaken for external factors and it's what's within that really counts, even if no one else ever sees it.

A Thought Can Travel a 100 Years

Swami Vivekananda in one of his many works on the path of Yoga wrote how nothing is ever wasted. How someone can be alone in a cave and never speak to another human, but can suddenly have an enlightening thought. 100 years later, someone else in an entirely different country, across the world, can receive that thought and it can provide some comfort or much needed insight. It's kind of like time travel in a way. Just like we view shooting stars long after they're already gone, same here.

If you're ever feeling alone or disenchanted it is helpful to energetically tap into those who appear to be on a vibration you're seeking. Not by pulling on them or "feeding off their energy" but by feeling love for them and gratitude for existing. Maybe you read something by them or watch something or simply hold them in your heart space as you meditate. It's an energetic way of being around "successful" people and aligning yourself with a higher frequency. It goes both ways, too.

Unexpected Connections

I had the coolest experience this past Thanksgiving. My plans fell through at the last minute, and though I made a delicious sweet potato pie that a friend shared with me in the morning over tea, I was alone in the evening, feeling a bit sorry for myself. My mind started going on a rant, up on a soap box making me feel all sorts of bad. So in attempt to quiet it down, I sat down to mediate, just feeling whatever sensations showed up in my body.

The unexpected then happened, as my mind quieted down, I suddenly had the thought that maybe there are others like me right now at this moment, feeling alone as well. So of course, not knowing who they were, I included "them" in my mediation, feeling tremendous love for whoever needed it. I even let it grow to include anyone in the past or future who might be feeling lonely and in need of some love and hope. The longer I continued, the more peaceful I felt and no longer alone, for how could I be alone when I'm including others in my awareness, even if I don't know who they are? It's a fun kind of game isn't it?

Feeling much better, I sat back to watch a movie. After it was done, suddenly almost out of the blue, I was hit energetically by a tremendous burst of love. It was as if, some of the love I had sent out, was coming back to me or being reciprocated. It's hard to quite describe, but it was extremely validating and filled me with tremendous joy.

Feel the Love

So basically, there is always a solution to whatever seems to plague you. It may not appear on the physical realm, but there's always the inner realm you can enter and the best part is you don't have to go anywhere but within yourself. Simply find a quiet spot, breathe gently and allow yourself to be welcomed into the space of stars. See them glisten within your own heart and feel the love! Don't try to define or add words to the experience but allow it to unfold however it does, like a special gift designed just for you from the Universe.

A very happy New Year!
