This is a letter I received from one of my spiritual advisors prior to the New Year. It's inspiring - it made me laugh, it made me cry and it made me ready for a fresh start & a beautiful 2012. It has so many meaningful messages and if it does nothing than leave you with the impetus to follow your dreams this year...then I have succeeded in sharing it with you. I hope this inspires you as much as it does me. Wishing you a happy & healthy 2012 filled with lots of love, laughter, fun & great success...

Ok the year is almost done. Challenging year with lots of shifts for tons of people. I feel like so many people at this time are wearing a lot of heavy energy overcoats and would really really like to shed some of that extra weight. Is this you? Amazing opportunities to grow quickly if your spiritual feet are on the right soil of life. Let's review.

First of all, the fun stuff. After a roller coaster ride to reach relationship peace and harmony, Floyd Stafford and I have set our wedding date for May 18, 2012 in Maui. We are having a traditional Hawaiian wedding which is grounded in deep spirituality at sunset with a kahuna officiating. After 29 years of not being married, this is a huge shift for me...a leap into the void and exciting to have such a wonderful man to share my life with. It took a lot of karma layers peeling away, but truly was worth it. And through it all, I put into practice what I have been teaching others for other 25 years and I am proud to say, 'if you follow the spiritual steps of a relationship, you WILL get what your soul intends.' So don't give up, have faith and most of all, fall in love and accept yourself at new level so you can love well in the world.

With that being said, many people are reporting to me (and I include myself in this) a falling away and letting go of people who no longer seem to 'vibe' with you. Putting judgment aside, not every person is intended to be with you forever. That's the hard part. We all have our journey and Divine Plan and sometimes the roads go their own separate ways. Try not to let other people define you, as the great gurus teach us, surround yourself with positive people, not those who drain you and remember to be a light that inspires the souls of others. Look at what is right with a person, not what you want to change. Shift the energy and embrace a new way of seeing your world and everyone in it. And if that doesn't work, try to spend more quiet sacred time with yourself, meditate and pray a little bit each day, create a good habit of going within and then let go. And always have high grade imported chocolate close at hand!

For those of you who lost loved ones, if you could see the amazing brilliance of the 'other side' you would know how profound a life they are living now. No more heaviness, no more pain, no more suffering. Hold onto the beautiful memories and like holding a golden kite string, let them go so they may ascend even higher!

The financial realm has been doing an interesting dance this year and basically the message is try to live as simply as possible. This doesn't mean you have to live poor, but it does mean you may need to shift your beliefs on money, the power it has over you, and come up with a new plan. AND the real teaching here is to determine from this point on, what does real fulfillment feel like because that is really the best type of currency, happiness! Find a child who laughs often, laugh with them and see how happy you will feel. Pure joy. And as odd as it may seem, do NOT buy into what you hear, read or what others are telling you. If you believe it, you will create it. Create the world you want, not what the world is telling you it should be or is based on other's standards. Do NOT live in fear around money or scarcity. Yes, you have to work for it, yes you do have to put a plan into action, merge the two worlds of spirit and self and see what can really happen. Where can you adjust and align this belief into a mystical treasure house? Be practical, be real and think magic!

I do see a trend in the silver and gold markets for those of you who invest. Yes, it is falling right now but three times next year the arrow goes direct which means it starts to rise again so don't give up. I still feel gold and silver is good in times of need and the basics. I do not 'preach' anything however regarding all the doomsday stuff out there on 2012, it is an exceptionally exciting time to be alive as long as you ALIGN AND ADJUST. If I were to give 2012 a theme, it would be this. How can you personally take the four realms of the Universe: Spiritual, Mental, Emotional and Physical and write a few lines as to how and where you would ALIGN AND ADJUST? If you start to practice this each week, you will be able to ride the roller coaster of change to a new pinnacle of success and happiness. And in the end, your life will look different and your soul will sing for your success. So here is the breakdown:

Spiritual Realm: How can you align at a higher level with your spirit and your soul? What does that mean for you? And then, what adjustments can you make in your life to create that? Maybe a little spiritual reading material 2 hours a week, something like that.

Mental Realm: When you change your mind, you change and CREATE a new life! What thoughts or ideas can you let go of? When you go to superconsciousness, you open the higher mind to download amazing thoughts that can carry you for months to a new level. Take one thought that you are always focusing on. Write it down. Does it need to be edited? Is this thought in alignment with your spirit? If not, guess what, re-write it! Adjust and tweak your mind so you are no longer on overload. Start a little spiritual thought for the week book for yourself. Use sticky notes and put them on the mirror where you brush your teeth so you can see this every day. Be creative!

Emotional Realm: Where can you adjust (change) how you emotionally respond to things both negative and positive so you are no longer on a polarized roller coaster? Try this......next time you have an emotional knee jerk reaction to something, take a few breaths before you respond verbally. Is what you are feeling real? Does this belong to you or someone else? If you are sensitive, try not to personalize everything. Write down one person who you will make an effort to be emotionally calm with by not over reacting. See what happens after about two months. It could be interesting!

Physical Realm: This is where the other three realms 'meet and greet you' each day. It's your everyday life, your body, your home, all the stuff. It is also the land you can create on by planting the seeds of divine intention in a brand new way. In your daily life, how can you align perhaps accept what you cannot change and plant new seeds. Clean out the closets of your home and pay it forward, cleanse your home with a white candle and smudge ceremony, take an Epson salt bath weekly and see how you can reflect an entirely new image onto the Earth as your divine playground.

Hope some of this helps you over the hump into 2012. As always, sending many loving blessings. Thank you all for your love and support this year. I pray for all of you every single night in gratitude prayer. Much love, many blessings and enjoy the walk into an amazing year!

Bliss kiss,

Johanna!
