Initiation into the New Year / Uue aasta pühitsus



Uue aasta pühitsus


Kylliki Neuman, Ring of Fire
Iga uue aasta algus on nagu pühitsusrituaal uude ellu. Me jätame oma vana mina ja tema tegemised seljataha lootusega alustada uut ja paremat elu...

Kui te ei tunne end veel täielikult uues aastas (kuukalendri järgi algab uus aasta alles 8.veebruaril), siis ehk leiate endale siit mingi mõtteiva, mis aitaks selle alanud uue aasta kulgemisega paremini kaasa liikuda:

*Kirjutage paberile kõik käitumismudelid ja omadused, mis teile koormavaks on muutunud ja põletage need ükshaaval, teadlikult minna lastes sel, mis paberil kirjas.

*Kirjutage paberilipikutele, igale üks asi/tegevus, mida te armastate. Iga päeva jaoks üks, keerake rulli ja pange karbikesse või purki, et siis igal hommikul endale üks päeva kaasa võtta.

*Valige endale üks omadus või väärtus, mida tahaksite sellel aastal arendada. Mõtisklege, mismoodi tahaksite seda oma elus avaldumas näha. Kirjutage see üles ja pange kuskile, kus võiksite seda iga päev näha.

*Tehke endale kollaa´z piltidest ja sõnadest, mis iseloomustaks teie visiooni ideaalsest uuest aastast.

Initiation into the New Year

Every beginning of the new year is like intiation into new life. We leave the old behind, hoping to start our lives anew and fresh.

Some of us create new year’s resolutions, some of us take with gratitude an inventory of the year that passed.

Often, when we have lived a week or two into the new year, old patterns seem to run smoothly – resolution and intentions are forgotten, even gratitude has gone hiding.

Storyteller Michael Meade says:

"The New Year is not something before us, it is something hidden within us trying to find the light. Don't wait for the right gift to be given to you. Look inside instead and find the Holy message trying to be opened."

How to nurture that is “hidden within us trying to find the light”? 

It seems that the first step would be to accept all of yourself as you are, today…here and now.
And then the questions:
What has served me well in the past, yet has become a burden now?
Which ones would I like to let go, which ones I still need?
How do I imagine my life enfolding this year?
What do I really want to create this year?
Which qualities would I like to embody more fully this year?

 Write the answers down, meditate on qualities, create a collage for your vision – those are few ways to support bringing positive changes into your life.

After all, Chinese new year starts in February, there is plenty of time for rituals.

I believe in all that has never yet been spoken.
I want to free what waits within me
so that
what no one has dared to wish for
may for once spring clear
without my contriving.
