2021 gave us the opportunity to do things in a different way. But did we? I think it was a mixed bag and now it is time to say goodbye to 2021 and really take some time to dive into what we have learned this year and what we want to change. Begin to be aware of what wants to live through you.
We live in extraordinary times. As I have been saying all year, the vibrational frequency of the planet has shifted, and we are required to shift with her. We must expand and ground our energetic containers. We can only receive what we have the capacity to hold. Think of a high voltage of electricity going through a small light bulb. It will shatter it. And it cannot be done through the mind: it is only possible through the heart center.
2022 is the year of the Cosmic Mystical Heart: of Spiritual Empowerment and Illumination. It is a year of Either/And where we have the potential to move into a more holistic way of being.
And we cannot do it alone. Let us shape our collective destiny together with love, grace and joy!
As always, I am offering my FREE 12-day intention intensive. You will be receiving one guided meditation recording daily starting January 1st to guide you in setting intentions for 2022. As my teacher Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov taught, the first 12 days of the year set intentions for the entire year. If your friends want to receive these, have them go to BarbaraBiziou.com and sign up for our newsletter by January 1st.
And to lighten your spirits, here are some global New Year’s Rituals
Spain: Eat 12 grapes at midnight for good luck in the coming year.
Southern USA: Black eyed peas and collard greens are believed to bring money and abundance into your year.
Greece: Vasilopita is eaten (cake with a coin inside). Whoever finds the coin in their piece of cake will be especially lucky during the coming year.
Italy: Throw out old furniture, clothes, pots……open the windows to throw out the old. I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU THROW THINGS OUT THE WINDOW. Best to put them out on the street for people to take.
Japan: Eating soba noodles on New Year’s Eve or Day is believed to bring in longevity and abundance.
Brazil: New Year's Eve priestesses of the local macumba voodoo cult dress in blue skirts and white blouses for a ceremony dedicated to the goddess of water, Yemanja. A sacrificial boat laden with flowers, candles and jewelry is pushed out to sea from Brazil's famous Ipanema beach in Rio de Janeiro.
South America/Mexico: For travel in the coming year, walk around the block with an empty suitcase.
Cuba: Water represents both cleansing and renewal, and the New Year is celebrated with rituals of splashing water. Water is tossed out of doors or windows (checking first for passers-by!) or into public fountains.
And don’t forget to wear something red to bring in Love and Passion. ❤️
Work with me:
It’s a New Year and a perfect time for a personal reading to gain clarity into the past, current and future events. Space clearings are also great to do at this time to open any stuck energy.
I am also available to speak at your company (zoom or in person) on Starting Your New Year with Intention, Clarity and Connection: Simple Solutions for Success.
Until next time,
Barbara
