Did you know that there are actually TWO new years?

If you are feeling frazzled by the conditioning that the new calendar year is the new year and you need to charge ahead like a racehorse out of the gate, may this be a gentle reminder that there are two new years... And if it resonates, take it as a gentle permission slip to lay low, rest, reflect & recharge for January. I like how Robert Holden puts it:

"... 2026 needs to introduce itself to you, before you decide what 2026 will be. There is something about the energy of a new year and I often think of January as the month of introduction. 2026 will have a different energy than 2025 (Karina's addition: a different personality); that's the way the universe works. Our work is to become acquainted with the year... You can ask the year that is 2026:

What would you have me know?
Where would you have me go?
What would you have me say and do?

We can relax into the year and ask 2026 to reveal its plan for us."

And if you are someone who wants a 'Word of the Year' to be a NorthStar🌟guiding light over the next 365 days, enjoy this 10mins meditation to get clarity. You can set the intention at the beginning that a word be revealed to you - and be open if wisdom shows up in some other wonderful way!
