A Year for RESILIENCE: Thriving in the Face of Change

Dear Community, Jan 21, 2025 A lot has happened in the past few weeks. There are energies that are hungry for power, are hungry to see people suffering, and are selfish. Yet, we also have the element of fire purifying the greater Los Angeles area. Our Ancient cultures always looked for a greater meaning and the symbolism that different events may have. Some wisdom keepers are already saying that this start of the year, with the element of fire, represents a collective imbalance in the fabric of life. The fire is symbolizing a stage of purification where, energetically, it's piercing and purifying our mental, emotional bodies all the way down to the altar of our hearts

What does this mean?

It can mean that there is a greater calling for all of us, and it's not too late to change the way we perceive our own lives. It means that our mental structures of judgment, resentment, separation, and hatred can transmute and pave the way for unity, understanding, compassion, and support towards one another. This we are already seeing before our eyes as many of us are putting into action what is truly alive in us: being of service to those in need, being of service to those who need support.

There is one word I would invite you to contemplate:

RESILIENCE.

Note: The capacity to withstand difficulties.

Resilience is the ability to maintain one's sense of purpose, meaning, and inner strength even when facing significant challenges or adversity. It involves drawing upon personal beliefs, values, and connection to a higher power to "bounce back" and adapt to difficult situations. Essentially, it's the spiritual fortitude to weather life's storms while staying grounded in one's core identity and faith.

How can I hold space for myself and others? I am able to process, yet I am also able to have compassion towards others. This is where our strength lies.
