Aloha,
I'm Reverend Cindy Palos,
And it's always interesting how at the beginning of a new year,
We want to start anew.
We want to just let everything start over again.
Many times,
I know for myself,
This last year was a very,
Very difficult one.
I live on Maui,
And there were many things happening here,
Including the fires,
And a lot of issues that came up.
I like to kind of put everything into perspective and have a time to just reflect and bless everything that happened and all the lessons that came from them,
So many lessons,
So many lessons,
And then just bless them and let them go and release them so that you can start fresh and feel fresh and celebrate a new year.
I'm going to do some affirmations,
I'm going to do a prayer,
And I'm going to do a meditation on this for new beginnings.
Here's an affirmation that I will share and a few more.
I choose to begin my life anew.
I take destiny into my own hands and release any old limitations and bring the power of my soul's energy right into my life to make my life the way I choose it to be.
I am a divine child of God,
And I have the power to create my day in a way that reflects the best for me with God's will.
I receive love,
Happiness,
And guidance to achieve my goals.
I have the power to begin anew.
There is new hope in my life.
There is a new path of love and light open to me.
I know I am being guided to know the best way to go.
I feel positive and good about my new life.
I look forward to the changes that will come.
I trust that every step of the way is leading me to fulfill my true purpose here in life.
Thank you,
God,
For leading me along the perfect path to take in my life,
And so it is.
Here's a prayer.
Behold,
I make all things new.
Behold,
I make all things new.
And when you are weary from the ways of the world,
A light will come from the highest one and bring you new energy and a new dream to believe in for life.
And then you will behold new joy,
A new reason for being,
A new love that brings the wings of this light to your heart of hearts and lifts your spirit to the way of a new heaven here on earth.
This is what is waiting to be seen.
And then you will begin to hold and behold the light of God as it comes through you to the earth.
And though you have been laden with many cares of the world,
A new hope will come,
A new path of love for the one who brings this light and will guide you to know a better way to be the one who lives with the spirit of God and the joy of knowing the light of the soul within the time that is given to be in this world but not of it.
And behold,
I make all things new so you may be born again with this light,
Breathe in this joy and find the love that is yours to share and smile with the knowing of this divine gift and let your life reflect this gift with the blessings of love,
With the gratitude of the one who has been given that new life by the one who knows no death,
Just that joy of eternal spirit and in you the chance to behold the spirit with a new life and new love and new hope as the dream of life eternal comes,
For behold,
I make all things new.
Now let's do a meditation,
Starting with some deep,
Deep,
Wonderful clearing breaths.
Just allow all of your mind,
Your heart and your soul to be present,
To be with you here and now.
Allow yourself to just be,
Nothing to do,
Nothing to think about,
Just allowing yourself to be present here and now.
Just allow yourself to take some deep breaths in,
Breathing in to the count of four,
Holding your breath and allowing that breath to come out and clear anything from the past,
Any issues in your body,
Just let it go and feel good,
Breathe out,
Out,
Out.
Breathing deeply in to the count of four,
Holding for the count of four and just releasing and letting go,
Letting go,
Letting go.
Breathing in and just being present,
Holding and letting the breath go.
Now put a wonderful clearing,
Beautiful light of protection all the way around you,
Up,
Way above you,
Coming through you,
Down through the head and the neck,
The shoulders,
The chest,
The heart,
All of the organs,
All the way down to the base of the spine and down your legs and knees and calves and out through the bottom of your feet.
Light below you,
Light above you,
Light in front of you and behind you and either side of you.
You are now in a perfect,
Beautiful capsule of light and love.
And now from a beautiful place in your soul,
Allow yourself to see the events of this last year as if you are watching a movie saying the year in review,
But this is your year in review.
So use your events that happened,
Starting from the ones that you saw,
All the ideas,
The goals,
What you wanted to accomplish,
And then what came along that you might not have expected.
And just look at those ones.
Take the first one that comes to your mind and just review it from the place of your soul,
The objective observer there within.
See what happened.
See how you reacted to what happened and what did that bring your actions to do and to be.
Send blessings to the way you reacted and to what came from that and whatever attitudes were formed by that.
If they were attitudes you think were beneficial,
Just bless them and see how they can be carried on in a new level of understanding.
And if there were issues that came that you were not happy about,
That maybe in the way she reacted or what became from those issues,
Just allow yourself to forgive yourself.
Just send great compassion to you for all that you did and had to go through.
Now we're going to take a little time for you to go through all of the issues that came up during the year.
Seeing them,
Reviewing them,
Blessing them,
And releasing and letting them go,
Go,
Go.
Freeing them.
And I'm just gonna breathe so you can go through this practice here with me as I breathe,
You breathe.
Reviewing the year and allow yourself to feel totally at peace and calm with all the things that happened.
As you review all the things that came as if you're watching a dream or a movie,
Breathe in light and love to all of these issues and feel if there's any reaction that you need to heal and let go from any of this.
Breathe in and let that healing light come and surround it with a wonderful blessing of healing light and just let it go.
Thank it,
Release it,
And let it go.
Just breathe out and release any of those things that you feel that you need to let go of now so you can have a fresh start,
A new beginning with new wisdom and new understanding and a new attitude and a new point of view.
For behold,
You can make all things new.
Breathing in that belief,
Holding it,
Holding it,
Blessing it,
Seeing that light,
That love,
That healing,
That forgiveness all coming to you and releasing it.
Ah,
Just let it all go.
And now feel as if you are cleansed.
You are renewed.
You are restored and revived.
Ah,
You are redeemed and alive and glad to be here right now.
Thank you,
God.
And so it is.
And I thank you for being present and taking this journey to heal anything that needed to be healed,
To bless anything that needed to be blessed,
And to free anything that needed to be free.
Thank you for being present here right now.
God bless you always.
