Hello dear friend
Controversially, I won’t be wishing you a ‘Happy New Year’ … well not in the traditional sense anyway. You see, I don’t resonate with the Gregorian calendar and the New Year in the way that we’ve been socially conditioned to.
However I will gladly offer you blessings for a 2024 filled with meaning, joy and fulfilment, as well as everything that fills your heart and supports your soul to sing. What holds meaning and relevance for me at this time of year, is the medicine of numerology and so it’s this that I’d like to share with you as 2023 comes to a natural conclusion.
Each year has a universal theme (or energy), that we collectively experience, with each year building on the previous one. 2023 held the universal medicine of 7 (2+0+2+3), which (other than 11) is considered the most spiritual number. As the number 7 correlates with the philosopher and the seeker, it is a time of deep self exploration, discovery and awareness. I have personally and professionally witnessed, a surge of people awakening this year. It has been an honour to witness and for some, be part of their unfolding journey.
I have been through my own awakenings this year through various initiations, which seemed to present themselves, one after another. There seemed little respite at times and I was extremely grateful to my medicine practices that allowed me to remain centred, resourceful and adaptable. Daily meditation, journalling and communing with my spirit guides, bought much relief and support, especially when I felt alone, confused and/ or overwhelmed. I’m curious how you experienced this year and what helped you through times of challenge?
The Medicine Path (path of True Self & bliss), can at times be challenging for sure. However, I wouldn’t choose to live another way and certainly couldn’t return to walking the Wounded Way (path of False Self & suffering). In my opinion, the short-time pain of transformation, is whole-heartedly worth the long-term gain of bliss that is on offer to us all. I feel those who have awakened this year, are beginning to see this and those who have walked this path for a while, are valuing its impact on a new level.
REFLECTION & RELEASE OF 2023
As the cycle of 7 ends at midnight, you may wish to gift yourself some time today, reflecting upon how number 7 has influenced, supported or directed your life journey this year. This is an opportunity to be truly honest (I mean truly honest) with yourself. After all if you can’t, who else can be. I have detailed below, some journaling prompts to assist in this process, that I trust will be helpful.
Tomorrow, I will be posting about the number 8 (2+0+2+4) and how this can support you in THRIVING during 2024. In the meantime, I wish you a blessed day.
With sacred love, peace and joy,
Helen
