I heard a some statistics yesterday that in the US alone there is a new birth every 8 seconds and a person passes from this dimension ever 12 seconds...
Every breath is taking in the present and letting go of the what is no longer needed... it is the natural rhythm of Life throughout the Universe... ever changing and also in motion....
The New Year transition is often seen as a time to begin anew... and what a good practice it is...
I would like to suggest that we let go of all the leftover feelings, regrets, and good old days from yesterday...from yesteryear... from the previous moment.... letting the past die so that we can truly be in the Present Moment of Nowness...
When we let our minds continue to be wandering through the past or worrying about the future, we have robbed ourselves of Life in this moment... For many of us the wandering mind defaults to negative self-talk and negative energy is that is not useful and often quite destructive... perhaps your self talk is always positive and happy, but for many of us, we have to be vigilant and choose to move away from old patterns and self criticism or judgments about our lives and the lives of others....
"Forgiveness" is often a word that is used..."acceptance" is another one....acceptance of what is.... Whatever words we use, it is the actual energy and dynamic that is important... you may wish to write "the past".... "regrets" ...or whatever you choose on a piece of paper and let it go by putting it in the flame of a candle and let the transforming energy be symbolic of our intention and action of letting go...letting go... into this new moment... into this new year... into this new life....
Blessings and peace to you.... Now and Always Now...
John
