DARKNESS REVEALS SO
THE LIGHT CAN HEAL
Once again we are ending a cycle, completing our trip around the sun with Winter Solstice, the darkest time of the year. The most ancient of archetypal partners, darkness and light play deep in our psyches and indeed all of nature. Yet we scarcely know what darkness even is anymore - so vast is the array of electric lights drowning out the stars in the night sky. The fear and inconvenience of darkness, like that of death, has spurned endless achievements and triumphs of light, from our oldest mythologies to modern technology.
Darkness
is a deeply fertile time, a time of imagination and visioning, a time
of rest and renewal, a time of going deep within yourself to commune
with the depths of your own soul and that of Nature. We avoid this
darkness at our own peril, exhausting our resources within and without.
In the archetypal dance, darkness is the senior partner, the realm of
emptiness and fertility, from which all things emerge.
Darkness represents the most feared
and repressed aspect of the Goddess-the wisdom of the ancient Crone.
Her repression has resulted in a linear trajectory of constant
expansion, endless activity, and achievement. Without the cyclic nature
of balancing light with darkness, we are unwittingly creating it -
through an unsustainable society that threatens the end of over a
million species and hundreds of millions of people.
As
we head into the beginning of 2012, we are facing an unknown future.
Business as usual cannot be assumed. We cannot bank on anything staying
the same - not the economy, the environment, certainly not technology.
Yet we must vision and plan anyway. What do we count on?
We
can only choose to build our lives on the values that are most
important to us. They become the foundation, the first chakra earth base
upon which we build our future. Whether it's a business, a
relationship, or a project, set a firm foundation of integrity - and
take your time creating it. Preparing the ground makes for fertile
growth when the light waxes in the new year.
As
we near the bottom of the wheel of the year, we are hitting the pivot
point from which we bounce back up the other side. In order to make it
back up from the depths, we need to let go of excess weight, in terms
of old patterns and aspects of life that no longer serve us. It is
interesting that the word "light" represents not only the source of
illumination and growth but also the opposite of heaviness.
Letting
go into emptiness and darkness is actually a way of lightening up.
What we release lightens our load, makes it easier to ride up the wheel
toward the returning light and new growth of the next cycle. These
first few days of the new cycle can be a good time to fast - though it's
a difficult time to avoid the endless parties and delectable goodies
of the season.
Just as bulbs need a good chill in the winter to make beautiful blossoms, we need to dream in the darkness to invite in the light. Linger here. Taste its sweet bitterness. Empty out and listen to spirit. Disengage the clutch of your life and allow yourself to change gears. You may find that spirit has a download just waiting for your mind to be empty enough to listen.
May you all have a blessed Holiday Season of Joy, Love, and Light,

Manifesting Real Abundance in the New Year
Dear Anodea,
What are your New Year's intentions for your life and for our world?
And how committed are you to realizing those dreams, break free from limitations and fully give your gifts to the Shift?
Well, just in time for the New Year, I'm delighted to be offering my Manifesting through the Chrakras course through The Shift Network with master teacher Dr. Sue Morter's Real Abundance course - available together at HALF-PRICE.
We're calling it Your 2012 Manifestation Package
- and, together, these teachings give you everything you need to create
the life of your dreams while staying fully anchored in your own
divinity.
We think this package will make a great and meaningful holiday gift for you or someone you love!
In these self-paced sessions, Dr. Sue Morter and I will guide you every
step of the way to help you clear the obstacles from your path and live
your highest vision.
And
after diving into the material, you'll have a chance to interact live
with Dr. Sue and me as we'll each host a Q&A Call to answer your
questions and further deepen your journey in manifesting real abundance.
Plus, you'll receive weekly handouts and guided exercises to supplement
each session. AND you'll receive 3 Bonus Sessions -- recordings with
top transformational teachers Michael Bernard Beckwith, John Friend and
Devaa Haley Mitchell.
With Manifesting through the Chakras and Real Abundance, you can take big steps in 2012 to:
- Identify, visualize and manifest your most important dreams - quickly and easily - using a step-by-step manifestation process
- Create a shift to true self-love and real abundance as the new foundation for your life
- Gain greater energy and vitality by aligning with your Divine source
- Master your own bodily energetics to begin to break free of long-held limitations
- Gracefully move through the inevitable obstacles and resistance that arises
- Attune to your soul's calling through lifelong goal-setting skills where you know exactly how to break large projects down into manageable chunks
Here's what previous students of ours have to say about these transformative offerings:
"I
have been studying the chakras for many years, but Anodea's approach,
way of explaining each chakra, mediations, exercises, handouts and sense
of humor made this experience the best one I've ever had. If you want
to manifest your dreams, don't hesitate to take this course!"
Mariela
"[Dr.
Sue Morter's Real Abundance course] has been a true master class from a
true master... it has awoken me to a much better understanding of who I
am and what I'm made of, and how our own loving energy is our greatest
gift for our own healing."
Teresina
"I
have had the immense pleasure of being in Dr. Sue's magnificent
presence. Both her online courses and in person courses are by far the
most brilliant, the most effective, the most worthwhile and the most
sustainable courses I have ever been involved with. Dr. Sue is the
embodiment of Divine Love, she is truly a great Gift to all of
Humanity."

"The
Manifesting Through the Chakras course was no less than amazing. And so
is Anodea Judith. She taught me that much more is possible in this
lifetime -- more love, more money, more time, more fulfillment in work
-- despite what your mind tells you. Invaluable course."
