Leaving the Past Behind In 2011
Welcome dear friends to 2011 and what a year it is going to be! As we move forward along this amazing road remember to reflect on who you were and who you are now becoming! This time can either be a joyful ride of self discovery and growth, or it can be bumpy and a little turbulent at times…which do you choose? This brings me to the path of living your truth. Your truth is yours alone, it is something you must find and figure out on your own. There is no time limit, although some of you may be feeling an internal clock counting down to something, but you must act when you hear the call. Too many of us simply take the easy road and try to imitate or be like someone else which only leaves them feeling empty and dissatisfied with their own life. You are each here for a reason, it is part of your life’s purpose to find that reason, embrace it, own it, as you are so very needed on this Earth and you are so very loved. It is when we connect with our Higher Self that we can embrace who we truly are and rise up to take our position with all of the other Lightworkers that are trying to raise the consciousness of the planet and those around us.
This is the time to clean house and I don’t mean Spring Cleaning, I mean a purging of ALL that no longer serves your highest purpose. It is time to rid yourself of the toxic and negative energy of the past and embrace your Divine Self for the true glorious being you are to emerge for the future. Let’s start with the mind shall we? Our minds are truly powerful, so much so that we believe everything we hear within them, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Our minds have a way of being able to control us by fear and we have allowed it to happen! The time for: “Your not good enough”, “Who are you to think you can be a healer”, You Cant do that” and all the other self-sabotaging thoughts, is over! You are a child of the Divine, and the sooner you believe that, the easier it will be for you to release yourself of any seeming negative thought that pops into your head. It is time to wake up and realize that this negativity is only an illusion. It is only fear that stops us from our dreams. You can do anything you set your mind too, we are masters at manifestation, what we think, we become and that includes the negative thoughts. Take a stand to live and breath positive thoughts as like attracts like, we live in an endlessly abundant universe, if all you think about is negativity that is what you will receive and if all you think about is positive thoughts, that too is what you will receive.
Now for our bodies, the body is simply a house for our Spirit. We must move past the facade of the body and our judgments of it and start seeing the beauty of the Spirit. Take care of your house as it is the only one that you have this time around to fulfill your purpose here at this time! Supporting your health this new year will not only help raise your vibration but it will also help you to release any toxins that may be stored within. It also shows your body that you love and care for it, and your body will respond with radiant health in return. Choose to eat high quality organic fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts and drink plenty of high quality water to flush out and cleanse your system and keep your body functioning at its highest capacity. Try to limit, or let go of completely, caffeine, alcohol, recreational drugs, processed sugar and foods. Be sure and supplement with trace minerals, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to keep your mind clear and body in balance. Exercise in the form of walking, yoga, tai chi and other gentle movements will help support your body in this release process.
Lastly, honor and nurture your spirituality. This is at the core of discovering who you are and what you need to live the life you desire. Make this the year, if you are not already doing so, to bring in more prayer, practice using affirmations, meditate so that you will be able to clearly hear the Divine guidance that comes through your Higher Self. Live your authentic life and be your authentic self, this is the essence of you are. You are love, light, compassion, perfect in every way as you are a child of the Creator. Honor that by choosing to care for yourself and others and awaken to the truth that you are connected to all that is. Release your past, embrace the now and look forward to the amazing future that is now before us.
In love and light,
Rita Lofaro
