These first days of the year I’ve been trying to stay alert to my Soul’s guidance on how to best set the tone for the year. I’ve decluttered and organized. I’ve continued with my daily meditations, and self-reiki. And I’ve
been waiting for my 2017 word to arrive (I explain this practice in my last blog, Thanking 2016 for the Lessons and Choosing Your Word for 2017, read here).
I admit, that I had a sense of what my word might be, but I kept resisting it because I didn’t want that word. But yesterday morning during my meditation practice I told the Universe,
“Ok I’m ready. I will trust that whatever word you send me will be the word.” As I listened within, there it was again, the word “acceptance”.
Ugh.
This word scared me. It felt like defeat. Like I was being told to accept things as they were, even if I didn’t like them. Acceptance felt like a prison. Of course, I knew that there was another, more spiritually wise way to look at the quality of acceptance, but I still didn’t want it as my word for the year.
But I remembered that the word chooses me so I prayed,
“Please Spirit if you want my 2017 word to be “acceptance” send me a really clear sign.” Read full blog.
