January heralds the days getting longer. The bright sun, which hangs low in the sky, illuminates and brings crisp, clear, cool air, and clarity. As I stand looking on at the new year in front of me, I feel like I can take a breath. January is a gift. A doorway into a new start. I can choose now to inventory all my baggage and take with me only what I need. January’s namesake, the Roman God Janus, has two faces. One looking forward to the future and one looking back on the past. This special, sacred time is a transition. A cocoon. A free space to observe what has been, and to decide where I want to give my energy moving forward.
In Unity this month we have celebrated this energy of renewal with our yearly Burning Bowl ceremony. If you missed out on this, or perhaps you feel you have more to let go of, you can always create your own ritual. Sit with yourself. Take time to notice how you feel, physically, emotionally, spiritually, and discern the areas where you feel undernourished or overstimulated. Then ask Why? There may be blockages or beliefs, which once identified, may not be as “true” as they were in our subconscious. Once named, we can claim our power back, we can write it down and release it to God. Setting our own new intentions, instead of repeating the same experience we had last year. Travelling light is the theme of my January, I take with me hope and potential, and I release everything else. “Anything I cannot transform into something marvellous I let go.” – Anais Nin Stefanie Bridges Unity staff Would you like to begin your week with an inspiring email?Click here to sign up for our Thought for the Week email list
