Love in Action 115 Ending of Old Endings, Beginning of New Beginnings
Hello Sweetheart,
The Great Conjunction/Grand Pivot/Winter Solstice is upon us!!! Tomorrow morning is the exact time. Tonight and tomorrow night, just after sundown, look to the Southwest, low in the horizon. There you’ll see what has not been seen since the “Birth of Jesus in Bethlehem” 2000 years ago. Two bright planets, so close to each other, they form a Star. A harbinger of what’s on our horizon…
Time for a HUGE shift into the Now…
What gives you joy? When do you find yourself smiling? Grow into our Soul! What dream or bright idea have you had that’s ready to be acted upon?
Here’s a fine example of how it’s possible to shift from grieving a loss into a Celebration!

We’ve been experiencing SO MUCH this year… so many losses, so many changes to what we thought were unchangeable, so many things revealed. 2020 vision. And some of what we are seeing/feeling is like what those surviving hurricanes, tsunamis and tornadoes have seen/felt— destruction of the old. As we wander through this “void” time, as the survivors that we are, we need to decide what’s next. This is a long process. No quick fixes.
Right now, we are appraising the situation. But unlike the “natural disasters” our work begins from within. Our job is to take stock of who we are, at our core; sift through the debris that has been dislodged and sweep it into piles for disposal. Yes, we may need to sit with the pile for a little bit (coming to terms with it) but then we must move forward. To where?
On the inside, we need to ask our own deepest questions and be honest with ourselves. We’ve been given a beautiful opportunity to be ruthlessly truthful about who we are and how we live. Perhaps this clarity will carry us through the remaining years of our lives. This is part of the process.
We can ask ourselves, in the starkness of this void, “What is really important?” We can shift from the exterior goals of physical pleasure and accumulation toward the interior realization of happiness and peace. This possibility is here for us now! The Universe has conspired to bring us to this point! And we are the ones who get to experience it all!
So, as we begin to slowly shake the dust out of our hair and kick the rubble out of our path, we have time to begin again. We know that things won’t be “normal” because they are new! We recognize that we will need to adapt in every moment, and if we don’t, we will suffer unnecessarily. We can be present with ourselves, being kind and gentle as we move forward. We don’t “know” what is coming, but we can know where we are coming from. This is our Guiding Light. Are we coming from a place respect and reverence for all life? Really. Even when it isn’t convenient?
What old habits of mind and behavior (past) are your recognizing as obsolete? More importantly.. present and future… what overarching values do you want this “new life” to exemplify? Once you have clarity from within, find a way to activate these by embodying them in your life. This is the task at hand!
Try these on for size… see where they fit for you. Have fun adding to both lists!

fear……………………………. trust
separation.. ……………… unity
scarcity ……………………. abundance
domination ……………… collaboration

extinction…………………. heaven on earth

TWO free events for the Solstice that has a really high vibe! And will include some yoga to help your body circulate energy.
On Monday, December 21, 2020 I invite you to join me for a special FREE 2-hour Global BodyAwake Yoga session in celebration of the Winter Solstice that day!
The Winter Solstice is a wondrous and special moment during the Holy Days season when pristine light floods the planet and our consciousness, bringing powerful energies of regeneration, renewal and self-reflection.
The result will be a feeling of vitality as more energetic circuits are activated in your system.
You’ll experience a profound sense of peace and joy that comes from reconnecting with your True Essential Self.
And, you’ll feel the heart-warming bliss of allowing Universal life force energy and unconditional love to flow through you.
It is our great opportunity to fully embody the energies present during the Solstice, and there is no better way than with BodyAwake Yoga!

On this new path of not knowing, but asking good questions, there is limitless support…
Many of the answers can be found in Indigenous Ways because they follow the Laws of Nature. The Hopi call it “Novoiti”
Did you know that the Okanagan have a “Four Societies Process” for conflict resolution?
It’s based in honoring the 4 groups of their culture: Elders (traditions), Mothers (relationships), Fathers (action), Youth (vision).
