Sigh! This has been quite an emotional and intense time for many of us. So much change, so many of our parts triggered, and so much love and healing that is needed in the world. As I shared before, 2016 is a year 9, the culmination of a nine year cycle. And 2017 is a year 1, the beginning of a nine year cycle. You get to decide how these next 9 years will be.
Will you decide to follow your Soul’s calling, and authentically, courageously and lovingly share your unique medicine with the world? Or will you wait and hold back for another 9 years?
The truth is that the world needs you to step it up now and shine your light even more brightly.
If you’re feeling your Soul nudging you (or maybe downright pushing you) towards evolving your life’s work this means that you are ready. In some way you must be ready or your Soul would not be calling to you. This doesn’t necessarily mean you need to quit your job (although for some of you it might mean a career change). It means you need to commit to making Soul time a priority. Because it is only by following your Soul that you will be led to the work you are meant to do–work that will be joyful and fulfilling and will uplift our world.
In order to be ready to follow your Soul to what you are meant to do in 2017 you need to release old blocks, burdens and beliefs that are holding you back, especially about work.
Some common burdens/beliefs about work include:
- That what you have to offer is not important
- That if you do the work you are meant to do you will not make enough money
- That people in your life won’t understand and will judge you (or maybe even leave you)
- That it’s somehow selfish to do work that you love
- That if you do the work that you really want to do people will think you are crazy/naive/selfish
These are just a few of the common beliefs that hold people back from sharing their Soul’s medicine. You might resonate with these fears or yours might be different. The important thing is that you uncover these old fears and release them, so when 2017 begins you are ready to say yes to your Soul and move forward. Remember that your Soul does not want to add more fear to your life,so it will lead you at a pace that is right for you.
Your Soul will lead you step by step. But you need to be awake enough to recognize the steps and take them.
There are many ways to release this old baggage about work. The first step, always, is to set the intention. Your willingness to release what no longer serves you is the magic ingredient. Once you do that everything else can follow.
I invite you right now to stop, take a few breaths, and bring the palms of your hands over you heart. Ask yourself if you are ready to release these old beliefs about work so that you can step into the next evolution of your life’s work. If you are ready tell your Soul and Spirit that you are ready. That’s it. For now just do that.
If you realize that you are not ready to let go of what is keeping you stuck, be honest with yourself, and admit that. It is much more powerful to admit this, than to keep telling yourself that you want to move forward, when in reality you are not ready. Now you have a choice, you can stay stuck or you can pray for the courage to be ready. You decide.
The super full moon is today and you can use the energy of the moon to help you with this. Watch the video below to hear how.
I am sending you all so much love and Reiki blessings,

PS In the next few weeks leading up to the end of the year I will be hosting events designed to help you release what you don’t need from 2016 (and the previous 8 years) so you can enter 2017 with openness and love. When we come together with a common intention miraculous transformation and healing can occur. I am excited and honored to hosts these gatherings. I’d love for you to join me.
