The Light Returns!
All our ancestors, from whatever spiritual or religious tradition, had some kind of celebration at this time of year to honor the return of the light. In the far past, they watched the days getting shorter and shorter, the nights longer and longer, and feared that the light would never return, that the darkness would continue to grow until it obliterated everything. The wise teachers and healers among them learned to track the cycles of the earth and sun. They knew the light would return and when it would happen, so they created rituals and celebrations to reassure their people, to bring them hope, to help them trust that the darkness would once again become light.
Inner as well as Outer Darkness
We all have our inner darkness as well, which comes from past negative experiences and beliefs. And, we always have the choice to stay in that familiar darkness of resentments, regrets, shame, and blame, or to make a new decision to let go and turn towards the light of forgiveness. The dark paths may seem safe, even comforting in their discomfort. But they keep us stuck in old stories, and hold us back from choosing love, choosing miracles, choosing the joy of infinite possibility.
I invite you to (re)commit to the Inner Light
As we approach a new calendar year, as the sunlight returns and the days once again grow longer, I invite you to (re)commit yourself to the inner light as well.
To help and support you on that path of en-lighten-ment, beginning January 2014, I am offering The Forgiveness Formula, a six month program to guide and support you in letting go of old painful memories & mistakes, learning to forgive yourself and others.
This program is for you if:
- You are sick and tired of being mad at people who hurt you.
- You know that resentments and regrets are holding you back.
- You long to let go and enjoy life now with a peaceful heart.
This program is not for you if:
- You are not willing to let go of old ways of thinking.
- You are too afraid of change, even positive change to make a different choice.
I am very excited to be offering this group for the first time through the beautiful Center for Sacred Studies in Guerneville. We will meet at the Center once a month, and on the phone once a month for Ask and Receive calls, plus some extra bonus calls, and, a 1 on 1 forgiveness coaching session with me.
Want to confirm this group is right for you? Request a no cost Forgiveness Strategy Session (30 minutes), worth $150, to find out. Free Forgive and Let Go workshops in January and February.
