Although the 2012 hype can be frightening - the predictions, the uncertainties, and yes, even the notable worldly events - it can also mark a time of significant endings that we can collectively celebrate. Most of us can welcome the ending of "bad" things, and are certain they couldn't have come a moment too soon! However, losing a home to foreclosure, a marriage dissolving, or the death of a loved one are not generally something we celebrate. And, although there are those moments of acceptance (usually well after the fact) when we can see the "reason" or "gift" of an ending of something we hold dear, facing it as it approaches or surrounds us can be quite uncomfortable. Yet, what if, in a whirlwind of changes we remain completely open to endings - or any other phase of life cycles - without knowing their specific outcomes, or the gifts that might one day emerge from them? As we awaken to Divine Consciousness, we begin to experience more trust, allowing and presence - all factors in releasing our fear of endings. Rather than struggle to accept What Is, or force ourselves to make peace with endings, our time would be better be spent on engaging in our own awakening process which inherently offers such gifts in their own time. As we evolve and learn to hold space for natural cycles, we will eventually recognize that the only thing we need to end is our tie to living a non-joyful life.

One of the philosophies I learned to adapt was from Dr Suess, Don't cry because it is over, be glad that it happened. Then Bernie Siegel showed me there are no endings, only beginnings. Now I will add to that list from you "that the only thing we need to end is our tie to living a non-joyful life." Loosening the ties, thank you.

Oh, I learned so much from Dr. Suess! And I'm honored to be added to the list! :-)
