If you’re anything like me, the month of December should concern the closure of all that you no longer wish to hold onto.

And if you want to start the new year off right, it should also involve opening yourself up to a space of compassion and love for yourself and others, while being grateful for all the positive things that happened over the last year.

This will allow you to ensure 2023 is completely different from this year, and in the best way possible.

That being said, I’ve certainly had a lot of positive changes in my life this year.

I have become certified in what’s known as Krystic Energy System, which I believe is the wholing and healing system of the future. I have found it to be very powerful!

As a result, I now hold the title of Leader of the Light.

This Krystic Energy System work has greatly assisted me personally and professionally in clearing so many hardships and letting go of that which no longer serves me, even when it means letting go of certain people and allowing them to be themselves without them being part of me or my life any longer.

But if you want to join me in this exercise, and start the new year off right, then you have to start by taking inventory of all the major moments of your life in 2022.

As you go through them, write everything down on paper. This will make this exercise more tangible for you.

Once you’ve got everything down on paper, you should try asking yourself a few questions, like:

• Can I dissect these events and find wisdom in what I experienced during the last year?
• What can I do to integrate this wisdom?
• Was I able to accomplish this? If not, what is left for me to do?
• How can I do it?
• How quickly can I do it?

Regardless of what answers you come up with, there are two major energies that will facilitate this process: compassion and forgiveness.

Compassion releases the judgments of yourself and others.

Forgiveness is to give to God. You might think of it as a means of service.

In any case, we have learned well how to project onto others, and this could mean judgments, blame, shame, guilt, or anger.

But now is the time to take personal responsibility for yourself. It is time to spiritually grow up!

The grace you’ll find in doing this is that you also allow others to be responsible for themselves, which can lift a tremendous amount of weight from you.

It’s not that you must agree with or even like what others do, but it’s important to realize that other people’s actions have nothing to do with you. These things involve them, not you.

There is such freedom in that, if only you allow it, and we are all being asked to step into this awareness.

After you have taken the time, and I know it will take time, you will have a great sense of relief, as you have taken the time to spiritually declutter your body and your life.

Now, for the next step.

At this point, you need to decide what you want to create for 2023.

Again, take time for this, and as always, be careful what you ask for.

I’m asking for love and compassion for the coming year.

But whatever you decide to ask for, try to focus on it.

In my experience, one of the best ways to maintain that focus is to create a mantra.

A mantra is a short, positive statement that holds the energies of what you desire in your life.

I like to say mine in the morning when I first get up and right before I go to sleep, which plants the energy into my mind.

In any case, try to have fun thinking about what you want to create in 2023, and over the next year, don’t forget to watch as these things show up for you.

No matter what you’re hoping for in 2023, it is well worth the dedication and time it takes to do this exercise, even if it means taking time away from other things you might want to do.

Below you will find a guided meditation recorded just for you. It will assist you in clearing away the past and stepping into the new year with freedom and love.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to each and every one of you.

And whatever it is you’re dealing with in your life, if I can assist you in any way, please reach out to me.

Know that I hold blessings for you all,
