My New Year Sharing / Kaj sledi

(Slovenian version down below)

What is coming up next?

 2020 has said goodbye in an unusually silent farewell as 2021 stepped in with no great fuss.

And though this last year has been atypical in so many unpredictable ways, it is exactly this atypical unpredictability that has brought about its 3 greatest gifts:

1. Stop;
2. Let go;
3. Look within.

The core of my New Year Message is:

 “There is only this moment and it is uniquely special - as You Are”. 

There is no other moment where you are Present. This is Home. This is the Safe Space where you find yourself existing beyond Time and Space. 

Where you are not bound by outside circumstances and where the inner circumstances that seem to bind you can come to rest in the specialness of your unique love. 

This is where you realize that the past is not meant to be held captive of your emotions and fears and that you are not meant to be imprisoned by anything, anyone, anywhere. 

This is where whatever is shielded by the darkness of separation within can be accepted, acknowledged, embraced and let go of, in an alchemical dissolution, distilled into the pure Essence of You.

This is when and where what is coming next begins in the ebb and flow of each breath, compassionately free from the limiting judgements of past knowledge, yet drinking from the eternal wisdom of all that has ever been. 

This is when and where you discover your unique specialness - that which feeds you, uplifts you, fills you with passion, with truth, with the simplicity of beingness so that all doingness becomes enlightened in itself. 

It is this Breath, here, now. No need to seek for another. 

The greatest gift is to realize that newness is only possible in your nowness. Such is the specialness of this moment. Such is the treasure of change.

So what is coming up next?

In 2020 the whole world unexpectedly and unprecedentedly came to a grinding halt - everyone, irrespective of class, gender, creed or culture was invited to STOP. Reassess. Let go. Look within.

Everyone, everywhere, was offered the invitation for a massive letting go of needs, hopes, dreams and expectations.

So what is coming up next? What is 2021 bringing in?

The main thing is that no matter how many visionaries shared that 2020 would be a very challenging year, no one, not even they themselves could have told us what actually happened, because only when we arrive at any given moment can we really see it, feel it and live it. 

On the other hand, it is not the simple chiming of the midnight bells that suddenly dissipates whatever was not appreciated, waving a magic wand to fix every perceived discomfort. 

So what is coming up next is exactly where each one is at right now. 

Is it frustration, fear, anger, fighting, feeling lost, feeling lonely, lack, despair? Is it feeling stuck, feeling one has no freedom, feeling controlled, having no health? Well then this is what is coming up next because there is no next moment that is not birthed in the now moment. 

Then again it is each one’s choice of perception and awareness that will determine how 2020 has rolled into 2021 and will soak the sand of our beaches.

It is a very personal choice whether what is coming up next is still fear, still control, social and political unrest, economic collapse… 

Or a newfound freedom from within, new ways of managing finances, personal growth, social responsibility, environmental awareness, cohesion, compassion, slowing down, realising we have never been alone, dissolving the chasm between Human and Divine, releasing the need to be a victim, taking responsibility and acting accordingly. 

Where are you at right now? How committed are you to taking care of yourself and adapting to change, letting go of the need for a map and embracing uncharted territory, knowing that you are Safe from within, letting go of the need to judge, limit, get caught up in fear, anger and frustration. 

What story is grabbing your attention more than your inner freedom, your peace, your endless stillness, the depth of your silence, the warmth of the love within you that is beyond words, the trust in your unlimited potential to go beyond the limitations of duality - how big is your NO, how big is your YES, how willing are you to put the Warrior to rest?

2020’s Legacy

This past year of 2020 some absolutely amazing things have happened and some very precious opportunities and gifts have been made available like never before.

Social gatherings and large events have been halted, leading the world around us to stop its staggering speed, so that we could really stay with ourselves and… look within, be our own best company, facing the fear of being alone, realising instead that from within each one of us is all-one, finding our own uniqueness, more and more and more.

Places of cult have been impeded from large gatherings, inviting each one to look within, allowing God to shine the only way that is possible: with one’s Presence, here, now, from the inside out. 

Feeling like a victim has been brought to the forefront for each one to become aware of why this feeling is there. To realise that there is nothing like really turning within, where the small children that are crying for the love of Self can be held warmly in the soft allowing of one’s own compassionate acceptance of all that we have been so that all that we are can glow.

Many have felt great fear of this invisible virus that has brought up the most valuable chance for each one to really take care of oneself, taking responsibility for our health, boosting our immune system with self-respect and healthy habits, stopping the constant rush of a success driven world created by illusionary outward safeties.

Many have experienced sudden lack, where having no money has brought the chance to review spending habits, needs, wants, priorities, what each one thinks about money and their deservability of it also. A massive review of what success really means for each one of us, of where we were heading and where we really want to be, how we really want to feel and what we are really doing for the heartfelt choices that come up from looking within to be experienced in everyday life.

The “it’s enough” has become loud enough for it to be heard, seen, felt and either fought against or embraced.

The fear of death has brought about the opportunity to really value and honour life and accept that no one departs from this Earth reality without it being their time to leave and everyone who goes remains alive in our hearts if we so allow. 

The need to let go has come to the forefront like never before and the choice to live it with gratitude or rejection belongs to each one. 

In a most surprising turn of events, the world stopped for a month and a half and Nature had a chance to take a deep breath and regenerate at a speed even greater than the rollercoaster joy ride that precipitated this halt in the first place. 

Now just imagine, if Nature stepped into a newfound balance with such ease and grace as soon as we got out of its way, what about having it declared that from now on the world will stop for one month a year voluntarily?

Fortunately, so many things are never going to be the same and adaptability to change has settled in as the new Master… but if fought against this can be a living nightmare too. 

Resistance or flow? Each one is entitled to free will, always. 

Travel habits and tourism, business meetings, commuting to work, how art is lived and shared, the entertainment arena, large gatherings of all sorts, valuing each other, family dynamics, valuing oneself, the world economy, social and political structures, educational systems, global citizenship, technology and its impact - all of this and so much more has changed, surely and definitely. 

Finding new ways of doing and perceiving things, becoming flexible, responsible, mature, sovereign are now more than ever, essential ingredients for a balanced life in a clearly mutable landscape.

2020 and 2021 for me

For me 2020 was a year of Truth. In all circumstances, with all people, everywhere. Living my Truth, listening to it, expressing it and knowing that this is my greatest service to myself and to all. 

When the world stopped I smiled. So many times I had expressed how slowing down could bring about massive change. And it did. Not easy for all and not welcome either. But nonetheless a huge, immense opportunity to reassess, review, realign, despite the difficulty.

Whenever I felt my freedom was being taken away from me, all I needed to do was take a sweet soft breath and dive deeper within, expanding my awareness even beyond what I had known so far, until I tapped into greater levels of silence, of stillness, of peace, of ultimate freedom.

Love in all areas of my life was taken to new heights of expression and Abundance has become the norm, natural. Me. Well, it always has been Me. It is my perception and experience of it that have expanded, as I have allowed.

Compassion is lived through each breath, here, in my core and nothing is more relevant to me than Staying, Present. Allowing the gifts of Essence to blaze my trail as I walk it in full Trust, not needing to know the next step for Now is all there is for me. 

The more I Stay and Allow, the less I know. And that is pure bliss. I discover my wisdom moment to moment as it comes into my conscious awareness and then cascades back into the void where I know it remains. 

The soft breeze of my breath flutters like the wings of a butterfly, creating waves of what seems to be magic but which I am invited to perceive as simply the natural flow of Being Present.

So yes, 2021 is here and with it I Am too. 

Maybe we will meet in person this year or we will just feel the gift of each other’s Presence in our timeless, spaceless awareness of the more that we are. One way or another I celebrate myself, I celebrate you, I celebrate us in Peaceful Gratitude, in each breath. 

In honour of all of those who are no longer here on Earth with us, I thank the grace of being embodied and able to honour Life as it presents itself before me. I am abundantly available to its wholeness and I celebrate those who have departed by honouring their legacy with my own uniqueness. 

May all be blessed and may 2021 be filled with each one’s unique specialness.

My view from my garden

Kaj sledi

2020 se je poslovilo kot neobičajno tiho slovo, medtem ko je 2021 vstopilo brez velikega pompa.

In čeprav je bilo to zadnje leto netipično na mnoge neobičajne načine je prav ta netipična nepredvidljivost prinesla 3 največja darila:

1. ustavitev
2. opustitev
3. pogled vase

Bistvo Mojega Novoletnega Sporočila je:

Obstaja samo ta trenutek in je edinstveno poseben - kot Si Ti.

Ni drugega trenutka kjer si Prisoten. To je Dom. To je Varen Prostor, kjer najdeš Sebe obstajajoč onkraj Časa in Prostora.

Kjer nisi vezan na zunanje okoliščine in kjer notranje okoliščine, za katere se zdi, da zavezujejo, lahko počijejo v posebnosti tvoje edinstvene ljubezni.

Tu spoznaš, da preteklost ni namenjena, da bi bila v ujetništvu tvojih čustev in strahov in da ni namenjeno, da bi bili zaprti s strani česarkoli, kogarkoli, kjerkoli.

Tu je vse, kar je zaščiteno s temo notranje ločitve, sprejeto, priznano, objeto in izpuščeno v alkemičnem raztapljanju, destilirano v čisto Esenco Tebe.

To je kdaj in kje se tisto, kar sledi začne v izlivu in toku vsakega diha, sočutno osvobojeno omejujočih sodb preteklega znanja, ki zdaj pije iz večne modrosti vsega, kar je kadarkoli bilo.

To je kdaj in kje odkriješ svojo edinstveno posebnost - tisto, ki te hrani, dviguje, napolnjuje s strastjo, z resnico, s preprostostjo bivanja tako, da vse kar počneš postane razsvetljeno samo po sebi.

Je ta Dih, tukaj, zdaj. Ni nobene potrebe, da iščeš drugega.

Največje darilo je spoznati, da je novost možna samo v vaši zdajšnosti. Taka je posebnost tega trenutka. Takšen je zaklad sprememb.

Torej kaj sledi?

V 2020 je cel svet nepričakovano in brez primere ustavil mline - vsak, ne glede na razred, spol, veroizpoved ali kulturo je bil povabljen, da se USTAVI. Ponovno oceni.

Izpusti. Pogleda vase.

Vsakemu, povsod je bilo ponujeno povabilo k množični opustitvi potreb, upanj, sanj in pričakovanj.

Torej kaj sledi? Kaj prinaša 2021?

Glavna stvar je, da ni pomembno koliko vizionarjev je delilo, da bo leto 2020 polno izzivov, nam nihče, niti oni sami, ne bi mogel povedati, kaj se je dejansko zgodilo zato, ker šele, ko prispemo v katerikoli dan trenutek, ga lahko zares vidimo, čutimo, živimo.

Po drugi strani, ni preprosto zvonjenje polnočnih zvonov tisto, ki nenadoma razprši, karkoli ni bilo cenjeno, mahajoč s čarobno palico, da popravi vsako zaznano nelagodje.

Torej kaj sledi je natanko kjer je vsak prav zdaj.

Je to frustracija, strah, jeza, bojevanje, občutek izgubljenosti, občutek osamljenosti, pomanjkanja, obupa? Je občutek zataknjenosti, občutek, da nimaš svobode, občutek, da si kontroliran, da nisi zdrav? No, potem je to tisto kar sledi zato, ker ni nobenega naslednjega trenutka, ki ni rojen v trenutku zdaj.

Potem je to izbira percepcije in zavedanja vsakega posebej, ki bo determiniralo kako se bo 2020 odvilo v 2021 in bo vpilo pesek naših plaž.

Gre za zelo osebno izbiro, če je tisto kar sledi še vedno strah, še vedno kontrola, socialni in politični nemir, gospodarski propad ...

Ali novoodkrita svoboda od znotraj, novi načini upravljanja financ, osebne rasti, družbene odgovornosti, okoljskega zavedanja, kohezije, sočutja, upočasnjevanja, spoznanja, da nismo nikoli bili sami, razblinjanja prepada med Človeškim in Božanskim, opuščanje potrebe biti žrtev, prevzemanje odgovornosti in delovanje v skladu s tem.

Kje si prav zdaj? Kako predan si temu, da poskrbiš zase in se prilagodiš spremembi, da opustiš potrebo po zemljevidu in objameš neznano ozemlje vedoč, da si Varen od znotraj, da opustiš potrebo po obsojanju, omejevanju, da se ujameš v strah, jezo in frustracijo.

Katera zgodba pritegne tvojo pozornost bolj kot notranja svoboda, tvoj mir, tvoje neskončno mirovanje, globina tvoje tišine, toplota ljubezni znotraj sebe, ki presega besede, zaupanje v tvoj neomejen potencial, da greš onkraj dualnosti - kako velik je tvoj NE, kako velik je tvoj JA, kako pripravljen si dati Bojevnika k počitku?

Zapuščina 2020-tega

V tem preteklem letu 2020 so se zgodile nekatere absolutno neverjetne stvari in nekatere zelo dragocene priložnosti in darovi so postali dostopni kot nikoli prej.

Družabna srečanja in veliki dogodki so bili ustavljeni, vodeč svet okrog nas, da ustavi svojo osupljivo hitrost tako, da bi zares lahko ostali sami s sabo in ... pogledali vase, bili sami sebi najboljša družba, se soočili s strahom biti sami, namesto tega spoznali, da je od znotraj vsak od nas ves-eno, najti svojo edinstvenost, bolj in bolj in bolj.

Velika zbiranja so bila ovirana v kultnih mestih, da povabijo vsakega, da pogleda vase, da dovoli Bogu, da sije na edini možen način: s svojo Prisotnostjo, tukaj, zdaj, od znotraj navzven.

Občutek žrtve je bil prinešen v ospredje za vsakega, da se zaveda zakaj je ta občutek tam. Da spozna, da ni drugega kot zares se obrniti vase, kjer so majhni otroci, ki jokajo za ljubeznijo do Sebe, lahko v toplem objemu v mehkem dovoljevanju svojega sočutnega sprejemanja vsega kar smo bili tako, da vse kar smo lahko sije.

Mnogi so čutili velik strah do tega nevidnega virusa, ki je prinesel to najbolj dragoceno priložnost za vsakega, da zares poskrbi zase, prevzame odgovornost za svoje zdravje, napolni svoj imunski sistem s samo-spoštovanjem in zdravimi navadami, ustavlja nenehno hitenje sveta, ki ga vodi uspeh, ustvarjen s strani iluzorne zunanje varnosti.

Mnogi so izkusili nenadno pomanjkanje, kjer je dejstvo, da so brez denarja prineslo priložnost, da pregledajo potrošniške navade, potrebe, želje, prednosti, kaj vsak misli o denarju in o tem kako ga lahko zasluži. Ogromen pregled tega kaj uspeh zares pomeni vsakemu izmed nas, kam smo usmerjeni in kje zares želimo biti, kako zares želimo čutiti in kaj zares počnemo za srčne izbire, ki se pojavijo, ko se zazremo vase in so tu, da jih izkušamo v vsakdanjem življenju.

“Dovolj je” je postal zadosti glasen, da se ga sliši, vidi, čuti in se bori proti njemu ali pa se ga objame.

Strah pred smrtjo je prinesel priložnost, da se zares ceni in časti življenje in sprejme, da nihče ne odide s te Zemeljske realnosti, ko ni njegov čas in vsak, ki odide ostane živ v naših srcih, če tako dovolimo.

Potreba po opuščanju je prišla v ospredje kot še nikoli prej in izbira živeti to s hvaležnostjo ali zavrnitvijo je na vsakem posamezniku.

V najbolj presenetljivem obratu dogodkov, se je svet ustavil za mesec in pol in Narava je imela priložnost za globok vdih in regeneracijo hitrejšo celo od vesele vožnje po toboganu, ki je na prvem mestu izločila to zaustavitev.

Zdaj si samo predstavljajte, če je Narava stopila v novoodkrito ravnovesje s tako lahkotnostjo in milostjo takoj, ko smo ji stopili s poti, kaj pa če bi razglasili, da se bo svet od zdaj naprej prostovoljno za en mesec na leto ustavil?

Na srečo toliko stvari nikoli ne bo več istih in prilagodljivost spremembam se je naselila v novem Mojstru ... toda, če se borijo proti temu je lahko to tudi prava nočna mora.

Upor ali tok? Vsak je upravičen do svobodne volje, vedno.

Potovalne navade in turizem, poslovna srečanja, prevoz na delo, kako živi in se deli umetnost, zabavniška arena, velika zborovanja vseh vrst, vrednotenje drug drugega, družinska dinamika, vrednotenje sebe, svetovno gospodarstvo, socialne in politične strukture, izobraževalni sistem, globalno državljanstvo, tehnologija in njeni vplivi - vse to in mnogo več se je spremenilo, zagotovo in definitivno.

To, da najdemo nove načine izdelave in zaznavanja stvari, postanemo fleksibilni, odgovorni, zreli, suvereni, so zdaj bolj kot kadarkoli bistvene sestavine za uravnoteženo življenje v očitno spremenljivi pokrajini.

2020 in 2021 zame

Zame je bilo leto 2020 leto Resnice. V vseh okoliščinah, z vsemi ljudmi, povsod.

Živeti mojo Resnico, jo izražati in vedeti, da je to moja največja storitev za sebe in za vse.

Ko se je svet ustavil sem se smejala. Tolikokrat sem izrazila, kako bi upočasnitev lahko prinesla ogromne spremembe. In jih je. Ni bilo enostavno za vse in tudi dobrodošlo ne. Toda kljub temu velika, neizmerna priložnost za ponovno ocenitev, pregled, preusmeritev, kljub težavam.

Kadarkoli sem čutila, da mi je bila odvzeta svoboda, vse kar sem morala narediti je sladek mehak vdih in se potopiti globoko vase, razširiti svojo zavest celo onkrat tega kar sem do sedaj vedela, dokler nisem prisluhnila višjim ravnem tišine, mirnosti, miru, ultimativne svobode.

Ljubezen na vseh področjih mojega življenja se je povzpela na nove višine izražanja in Obilje je postalo norma, naravno. Jaz. No, vedno sem bila Jaz. Moja percepcija in izkušnje tega so se razširile, kot sem dovolila.

Sočutje živim skozi vsak vdih, tukaj, v svojem bistvu in nič mi ni bolj pomembno kot to, da Ostajam, da sem Prisotna. Dovolim, da darovi Biti utrdijo mojo pot, ko jo hodim v polnem Zaupanju, ni treba poznati naslednjega koraka, ker Zdaj je zame vse, kar je.

Bolj ko Ostanem in Dovolim, manj vem. In to je čista blaženost. Odkrivam svojo modrost trenutek za trenutkom kot pride v moje zavestno zavedanje in potem preskoči nazaj v praznino, kjer vem, da ostane.

Nežni vetrič mojega diha trepeta kot krila metulja, ustvarja valove tega, kar se zdi čarovnija, toda kar sem povabljena, da vidim kot naravni tok tega, da Si Prisoten.

Torej ja, 2021 je tu in z njim tudi Jaz Sem.

Morda se bomo to leto osebno srečali ali bomo samo čutili darilo Prisotnosti drug drugega v našem brezčasnem, brezprostorskem zavedanju tega, kaj več smo. Tako ali drugače praznujem sebe, praznujem tebe, praznujem nas v Mirni Hvaležnosti, v vsakem vdihu.

V čast vsem, ki niso več tukaj na Zemlji z nami, se zahvaljujem milosti, da sem utelešena in sposobna spoštovati Življenje, kot se predstavlja pred mano. Obilno sem na voljo njegovi celovitosti in praznujem tiste, ki so odšli s spoštovanjem njihove zapuščine z mojo lastno edinstvenostjo.

Naj bodo vsi blagoslovljeni in naj bo 2021 napolnjeno z edinstveno posebnostjo vsakega posameznika.
