2022 gave us the opportunity to do things in a different way. But did we? I think it is a mixed bag and now it is time to say goodbye to 2022 and really take some time to dive into what we have learned this year and what we want to change.
Anxiety is at an all-time high and most of the people I have been working with (including therapist and healers) have needed a lot of clearing…emotionally, mentally, and physically.
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 this cannot be done through the mind: it is only possible through the heart center.
As always, I am offering my FREE 12-day intention intensive. Sign up on the homepage and you will be receiving one audio meditation daily starting January 1st to guide you in setting intentions for 2023. As my teacher Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov taught, the first 12 days of the year set an intention for the entire year. If your friends want to receive these, have them go to my website and sign up for our newsletter.
And to lighten your spirits, here are some global New Year’s Rituals. I will be posting my prosperity ritual on December 31st on IG so check it out.
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 her 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 new red underwear to bring in Love and Passion!
Until next time,
Barbara
