Hello Again,

I mentioned in my inspirational message for January that I would expand on the current energies that will be affecting us in 2009. So here you are!

The new year did not start out with a bang. Instead it’s murky and slow. You may feel down in the dumps because of the slump in energy. But Don’t be fooled! 2009 is not a year to mess with! Every change imaginable will happen both in the world and in individual lives. Now, of course change is inevitable, so you may be thinking of the normal changes that everyone goes through - - jobs, health, relationships, etc. However, this is not the energy I’m referring to. The changes this year will be of monumental proportions, and will explode like a volcanic eruption.

Be prepared to throw away everything you’ve been doing in the past ten years. If you’re not a “go with the flow” type person, it’s time to practice. The change will be like a sword swiftly cutting away what no longer exists for you. The blade is focused and swift.  If you just stay still, it will swipe away what no longer serves you with ease and leave a clean path for you to move forward. If you struggle, you are going to get cut!

Now, that sounds a bit gory, but it’s the truth. Those of you not good with handling complete directional shifts will probably not be happy when your comfort zone is rocketed to pieces.  On the other end of the spectrum, this could end a two year period of boredom that you may have felt in 2007 and 2008. This year will be (hands down) the most exciting and riveting year for you in the past decade. So if you like big bangs, fireworks, and light shows — hold on because your life will be everything BUT boring!

If you are in the mood for a bit of adventure, you’ve gotten on the right ride.  Many ideas you have will be impulsive, but with a knowing you can’t explain. If you move, it probably won’t be a move to the next town. One day you may feel like moving across the country for no reason, and you won’t know why. Just do it! Some of you may feel that your job has run it’s course and may quit for no reason and pursue an entirely different career.

The key word is freedom. You feel it in your bones. There will be a feeling of wanting to run free and experience life with vigor. Obligations may be holding you down. You just may decide one day to relinquish it all for the experience! If you do, you will finally feel alive again.  Those with millions may sell their large homes and move to the country side for some fresh air. This year will be one of the most important years to free the spirit from material bondage. Some of the countries most inspirational best sellers will come out this year from unknown authors who have made this switch to freedom.

The economic breakdown is really a spiritual breakthrough for us as a society! The universe needs to take things away from us in a drastic way so that we could see the importance of our spiritual development. Perhaps we really need more of “life” to fill our souls. Tend to your soul garden in the upcoming months! Now is a great time to get a personal trainer and build your body stronger through weight resistance. This is not a year for taxing diets, cleanses, or weight loss programs. You will need strength for the energy coming your way. Those with eating disorders, especially those struggling with bulimia and anorexia, could have serious consequences with their health this year. You will need to build your immune system properly for the upcoming months.

Unlike 2008, this is not a “mental” year. This will be a physical “feeling” year, of pure momentum, experience and “being”. Since we are not used to that, it will feel a bit strange. Because of the “mental” imbalance in the universe due to the “electronic addictive fix”, I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw a huge electronic meltdown, blackout, or system crash this year. The world wants our heads to stop racing!

As a culture, we will be getting very clear messages this year that mother nature is in charge. The weather will be completely unpredictable and in some places damaging.  The good news is that we could shift all these imbalances by progressing ourselves spiritually and raising the consciousness of the universal energy. Just like Yin and Yang, if everything is in balance, things cannot and will not go out of balance.

On a great note, if you are looking for a big break, this is the year of luck, prosperity and complete change! Enjoy the ride!
