Don’t Panic; Trusting The Quiet Within

As we head into 2024, there are unsurprisingly a lot of talk about intentions. New year, new start, right? But what if instead of striving for the "new," we focused on the fundamental: deep rest?

We live in a pressure cooker world, piling expectations on ourselves; "Be this, do that," they whisper. But the more I navigate life, the more I understand that the best approach is simply to trust and relax.

On the way out here I misread my ticket, and after a long queue got to the counter to find that I’d missed my correct flight! I could feel the anxiety rising, but then though ‘You don’t need to panic, just let go and relax, everything is taken care of.” Within 45 minutes, I was on another plane (without having to pay) and had more legroom than I could have dreamed of! That experience reinforced the power of simply noticing tension, *breathing through it, and letting go.

*The breathing really does help

So, for 2024, I wish you this:

• The ability to breathe and rest.

• The ability to relax.

• The ability to trust; Trust more deeply that everything is as it’s meant to be.

Things certainly aren’t easy at the moment, the world is at war and there is a lot of darkness. But we can hold the light. Don't panic, try to relax and send love to those dark places. Breath, try and find the peace, this is where we can hear God's voice, we can hear what’s really going on and guidance emerges. Where you can, stay connected to your heart.

Blessings to one and all. Stay connected, within and without.

Enjoy your beautiful 2024!
