2013 OVERVIEW
It has been a challenging start to
the year for many, including myself, which is why I haven’t published anything
for a while. The e-zine and Blog take a
long time to write and are offered free.
They can only be written when I have the time, space and energy to do
so. Life recently has required all of
my energy and attention and didn’t leave me enough to complete the half written
offerings from this month and last month.
They are also meant to be a window to showcase the work that I do, the
therapies/services/products that I offer, and if I do not receive any
orders/bookings from them, I have to now decide whether it is worth the time
and effort required, when that time and effort could perhaps be channelled into
different areas of business revenue.
However, I do love writing the updates, I find it creatively satisfying
and still enjoy receiving the downloads from Spirit, so for the moment, I will
continue to share as and when I can.
2013
Well, we made it through the hype
of 2012. Even if you tried not to buy
into it, energetically we were all affected in one way or another by the
anticipation. Having got through
December 2012, we all thought, yippee that’s it; we’ve made it through the
Ascension journey and survived. Which
is true, however, what we didn’t expect was the post 2012 fall-out as things
continue to settle.
We have been on a ten-year plus
Ascension journey, which has now ended.
Have we ended up where we thought we would? Are we who we thought we would be? Are we living like we thought we would be? Is our reality what we expected it to
be? Or does everything seem the same?
Well, nothing is the same. You haven’t been on that long journey for
nothing. The problem is that you have
changed and now need to be inhabiting your new reality and living and Being
it. This is difficult when the old
reality hologram still seems to be so real.
Many have been feeling ungrounded, displaced, dizzy and lacking in focus
as they try to find their footing. We
are still in that settling-in space, which I hope will ease for us as we get
into Spring next month. The key to
anchoring into the new reality is Love, and Love is the only key you need for
this year.
Numerologically it is a ‘6’ year.
(2+0+1+3 = 6). Six is the Love
vibration number and is what we all need to focus on this year. Love really is the key to getting us
through. In the first few days of the
year, there was a tremendous wave of love that seemed to sweep the globe and
everyone was absorbing it, transmitting it and feeling fabulous and so in tune
with each other. I thought yes, this is
what the new reality is all about; this is what it feels like!
Six is also the number for
harmony, commitment, relationships, marriage and family. If you want to travel, you may find the
following countries calling you during this ‘6’ year: Mexico, Thailand, Russia,
New Zealand, Japan, Norway, Canada, and Iran.
(And isn’t it interesting how many of these countries need a lot of
healing and light at the moment as many of them are experiencing incredible
turmoil).
Those working with the Love
vibration of this Six year will be developing not just their ability to be
loving, but also a sense of what is just, they are willing to step up and take
responsibility for whatever group/s they are involved in, they will be even
more generous than before and will happily share their idealism.
Those rejecting Love and
choosing to work with the shadow aspect of this year will be displaying these
types of traits; they will be uncaring, unjust, resent responsibility, be mean
and obsessive. Just ensure you don’t
get caught up in any of their dramas or drawn into any of their co-dependent
games.
Unfortunately that fabulous
love wave receded and some hard realities set in with shock experiences for
many of us. We have been given a taste
of what it feels like to live in Love as our 24-7 reality. I want that back! What came in next was like a whack across the back of the
head. Our task now is to get back into
that wave of love whilst dealing with the curveballs we are being tested with
this year.
“Watch your back” - I
have been hearing that over and over since the start of the year. This is a year when you will need to watch
your back. Many of you will have
already felt how unstable and downright weird the energies have been a lot of
the time, so far this year. No wonder we need to ensure that we are centred and
grounded, and are monitoring protection for ourselves, our energy fields, our
loved ones, our homes etc.
Illness brought many of us to our
knees. I have never known so many
Lightworkers and strong women brought down by illness as in the past couple of
months. I have never known some of my
business colleagues to get ill; they are usually incredibly strong and
energetic women. In this time of increased
feminine power we are starting the year with some deep cleansing. In order to take our place and set up shop
in the new reality we need to be in good health, we need to have a clear idea
of how we want to live and work and Be, and for many folks they haven’t got a
clue. They just know that what they
have been doing no longer feels right, that a change is needed. Illness gives us the rest time, think time
and reassessment time that we need.
Are you thinking for yourself? Or
are you still seeking validation from other people and sources outside of
yourself? Stop being so weak, own your
power and trust the Divine Intelligence that is within you. It is time for you to speak your truth (not
repeat what others say), it is time for you to live your truth – anything that
prevents you from doing this must go now and that includes people, groups etc
as well as your own limiting thoughts and negative beliefs. We have come through the darkest time and
the whole point of that was to make us independent and to drop all forms of
co-dependency (be that substances such as sugar, alcohol, drugs, addictions, as
well as relationships).
How can you possibly benefit from
all the wonderful energy this year and access the wonderful things and
experiences that are waiting to come in for you, if you are still doing the
same old same old?
Stop thinking about it – do it – stop talking about it – do it!
Stop thinking about it – do it – stop talking about it – do it!
The Feminine becomes more
greatly empowered this year as more women are now owning their power and using
it to make a difference in our world.
However be prepared to be attacked for it too, the more authentic and
genuine you are in your power the more you will alarm those who are not
authentic or aware of the importance of feminine energy at this time on our
planet, and they may try to trick you verbally or emotionally. Don’t let them affect you in any way,
realise that you are doing the right thing and let nothing and no-one stop
you. Many men are embracing their
feminine energy within and in a more masculine and balanced way now (for a
while some of them went too far the other way and were too empathically female
which knocked their balance), and they have a realization of the changes that
now need to occur in their lives also.
(I wrote the above paragraph in
December, and little did I know then how prophetic it would be, no sooner did
we turn into the New Year than small, some subtle and some less subtle attacks
against the Feminine started, culminating in a quite a big one in February).
YEAR of the SNAKE
We are now in the Year of the Yin
Water Snake.
Key watchwords for this Snake
year: “Pay attention to detail.”
The yin water
element of the year is associated with intelligence, innovation, intuition,
inventiveness, inner tension, secretive and hidden plans, the kidneys, bladder,
reproductive organs and hearing. (You may be prone to weakness in these areas
this year, so stay healthy).
The yin fire
element of the Snake year connects with illumination, entertainment, cunning,
fire, electricity, reactive energy, the heart, vision and fever.
The sensual
Snake will activate lessons in deepening our connection with Source/Creator, if
we work with the energy of this year we can deepen our spiritual wisdom and
cosmic connection.
As it is in the
element of Water it means that lessons and healings will happen on a deep,
emotional level. Wherever you have been
stagnating emotionally, be prepared for things to be shaken up, you cannot
stagnate any longer, change is necessary.
Whatever you have stuffed away and hidden (or forgotten about) will rise
from the depths to be faced this year.
The Yin energy
warns us not to do anything with excess or overwork ourselves (you could end up
with depression), instead it encourages us to use this year to restore
ourselves on every level and achieve a more permanent feeling of inner balance.
This is a year of moderation, of “gradual and gathered strength”. Not a year for pushing anything or taking
risks – especially financial. Stability
and balance in all that you do in every area of your life is essential this
year. This is not the year for playing
with fire, because you will get burned for sure. This also includes our health, no taking any kind of risks with
your health this year, look after yourself, you must put your health first this
year before anything and anyone else.
You may also need to “hold your tongue” more this year and be diplomatic
(balance in speech and kindness in speech and only speak the truth).
As one of my
favourite Feng Shui masters (the wonderful Kathryn Weber of www.RedLotusLetter.com) said “Make sure
you’re the person who is ahead on payments, flosses your teeth (not just says
you do to your dentist, blushing), and wears your seatbelt… at all times.”
It is a perfect
year to develop good meditation practice.
It is also a gently sociable year, a year of gentle connections and
collaborations.
The Snake
represents wisdom, intelligence and self-control. We will be tested on these aspects of ourselves this year.
Other Aspects
Like Snake, we have been shedding
an old skin, and now need to take care of the vulnerable new one until it has
adapted to its environment. Aura and
chakra protection is essential. (Think
of yourself as a newborn and how you would look after a newborn).
The Year of the Snake brings many
twists and turns, and it is a year to expect the unexpected.
My husband recently prepared for a
long wanted interview. His interview
day is a perfect example of Snake year energy.
The day before he planned what to wear, went through his paperwork and
ran through possible questions, gave himself plenty of time to get ready in the
morning, checked he had everything he needed and went off excitedly. When he walked into the office, he found out
that one of his friends/colleagues had died.
My hubby had been fond of him and had a lot of respect for him, as he
was a great man. What upset my hubby
even more was that the interview was being held in the dead man’s office.
This is typical Snake energy, you
think everything is going well and then suddenly something out of the blue
smacks you in the face. It’s a
test. For him it was to see whether
this would completely drag him down and knock him off centre for his much
longed for interview. As I helped him
in his grief during a ‘phone call before the interview, I saw his colleague
high up on the wall behind the panel of interviewers smiling at Pete, I said he
is going to be your Guardian Angel today, that’s why it is happening in his
room, he is helping you, so go do him proud!
(My hubby didn’t get the job, but he passed a lot of tests that day inwardly
and outwardly and I was so proud of him).
Watch out for those with forked
tongues, they may come disguised in outer clothing of grace and elegance however,
they may not be trusted. There will be
those who Talk the Talk convincingly, take care not to get sucked in by them,
they may not be who you think they are.
Our industry (mind/body/spirit/complementary/alternative) is the worst
for this, and this could be a year of tricksters. Snakes can strike at will, wilfully and powerfully, so don’t be
taken in by a snake in the grass who seems super laid back, it could snap its
fangs at you before you even realise it.
Traditionally Snake years can be
wonderful but can also be difficult with shock events (the mowing down of the
student of Tiananmen Square and other major incidents such as 911 all happened
during Snake years). If you are
presented with big challenges then you know that within those challenges are
big opportunities.
There can be opportunities for
abundance this year and new opportunities and experiences; there can also be
setbacks and delays. This year should
be a lot smoother than last year, but there can be some bumpy bits along the
way.
STOP HIDING!
The more effort you put in this
year, the greater the rewards this year and in years ahead. This is not the year to be lazy (and
God/dess help you if you are), nor to be a fence sitter, pessimist or to be
faint hearted. “It is time to find your
inner courage, or the need for it will confront you.”
It’s a good year for “men, the
career-minded, entrepreneurs, writers and students”, business growth, and rebirth
of businesses. Progress and success will be steady and sure like the tortoise this year not the hare.
When the tests happen, once you
are over the shock, try and get back into your Heart centre and out of your
head and solar plexus. Take time out to
meditate, calm down internally first and then you will know what to do. Do not go running to everyone else first,
you will end up like a headless chicken. Sort yourself out first, calm yourself
down and then seek further advice if you need it. Sometimes sleeping on it can help greatly, as you may receive
further guidance during dreamtime.
The colour green (think trees,
Springtime) is very beneficial and helpful, and will bring you balance during
this Snake year. Use one or two
accessories in the home, like a couple of cushions, a vase, etc. And for you personally, accessorise with a
scarf, jumper, jacket, handbag or shoes, jewellery etc.
By being prepared you will be able
to deal with this year, so enjoy it! It
can be an empowering, abundant year full of new beginnings and opportunities. “The Chinese understand that their family
will never go hungry in the Year of the Snake” as long as planning, caution,
reflection and balance are taken into account.

Other Info
Every year Spirit gives me a
catchphrase that accompanies the year that we are in, this year I have been
given two: -
2013
– Be the dream
and
2013
– work as a Team
Use Love as your key to enable
you to truly live the dream you have been creating for yourself. Whilst we will continue to work on ourselves
and strengthen ourselves on every level, this is the year to work with others
towards a common goal. Seek out others
who can support you and your dreams; find a suitable coach/guide who can help
you anchor and live your dream, find new friends and/or groups who will respect
and honour your dreams and support you all the way. Who can you collaborate with?
What collaborations can be created to serve the world in a bigger way?
And bring love into the mundane
and routine in your life. Give thanks
for the safe clean water to wash your plates in and do it with love. Give thanks for the ability to do chores and
do them with love. Stop and think
before you say and do anything – “am I doing this with love?” Give
yourself a few minutes and take a few deep breaths to put you back into your
Heart centre. Access the love energy
there (or tap into the Universal Love that is always around you and draw that
down into yourself) and then proceed.
Give up trying to control your
life, we have gone way beyond that, it is just too unpredictable. Surrender to the Will of the Divine with
love, in a way that you never have before.
When you allow Love to be your Guide, life flows more easily and you
experience more joy.
Each day send up the prayer – “how
may I serve today?”
