2012 ~ What The Maya Really Meant

2012 Is The Biggest New Year's Celebration in History .....

Imagine a New Years Eve celebration that occurred only once every 52,000 years.
This is what the year 2012 represents for the Maya, who for centuries have looked forward to it as an important time for rebirth, reflection, and renewal as one cosmic cycle is completed and another begins.

The Maya believed and intended for us to understand that while 2001 - 2011 has been a difficult time for our PLANET, 2012 WILL BE A NEW, BRIGHTER BEGINNING for US.

I ask you to learn from and then let go of the past and be optimistic about your future, starting with this NEW YEAR, 2012: THE NEW, PROSPEROUS and BRIGHT BEGINNING.

Happy New Year! Happy 2012!

2012 ~ A New Year Meditation

Begin by taking a few deep breaths, breathing in the peace of the New Year about to unfold, breathing in the promise of the future….Then exhale, and as you do, let go of  your past, and any tensions, worries and fears from the Old Year… Repeat this a few times.

Now reflect on any personal problems, negative qualities or behavior patterns from the last year that you want to release.  Step back and observe these problems as a detached witness.  Then affirm your intention to leave them behind and wipe your slate clean.

Now align with your soul, your highest self, your inner Divinity. Reflect on the most significant spiritual insights you’ve had in the last year…. What were your most important spiritual lessons?  Take a moment and write these down if you like.

What do you want to create for yourself in the New Year?  What positive personal qualities do you want to develop?  What goals do you want to achieve, personally and professionally?  Reflect on how you can deepen your service to others and to the world in this next year.

Now affirm your commitment to achieving these goals. Visualize the next step you are willing to take this week towards achieving one of these goals.  Visualize light and strength pouring into you from your higher self, and give thanks for this help….When you are ready, slowly open your eyes, and return to your normal state of consciousness.
