Shagaia's Retreat

Dearly Beloved:

A New Year is upon us and I have been giving this New Year a lot of thought. I happen to know that this New Year is a very open and flexible year and now is the time to decide how you would like this year to unfold.

My learned experience has shown me that when you take the time to sit down with pencil and paper and loved one and evaluate the year you have had. This will give you a very clear insight to the thoughts and ideas that you hold dear in your mind.

Every thought we have is connected to a belief that is buried somewhere in our mind and often these thoughts are the same ones repeating over and over. Our habitual thoughts create our reality so your review of the past year will help you see where your thoughts have been taking you.

Ask yourself some questions:

Would I enjoy better health this year, more energy, less weight, more flexibility and stamina?

Would I enjoy a more peaceful home, work environment, relationship, Life?

Would I enjoy a more reliable transportation, more luxurious, more economical?

Would I enjoy more money, more time, more love ?

What do I really want?

Believe me it will take some honesty to answer truthfully. We have spent a lifetime collecting beliefs about ourselves that are really not true and so we spend a lot of time lying to ourselves, a lot of our mental time is spent denying who we really are and what we truly want. We do not allow ourselves to think outside of the box, the box that we were placed in when we were born. We have spent a lifetime working to be what someone else told us we should be! Consequently there is the “shouldbe” family that lives in our head and never shuts up! As a child, parent, grandparent, great-grandparent, I can testify to the truth of this statement. I have been closed into the box and I have been a party to creating boxes for my loved ones. It is not something we do consciously or with harmful intent it is just doing what we have been taught to do.

I am encouraging you to stop doing what you have been taught to do and start doing what you want to do. Yes I know, this sounds really radical and you are saying that if you did what you wanted to do you would not be able to survive, you wouldn’t have a job, people wouldn’t like you, blah, blah, blah. None of that is true because what you really want to do is what you came to planet earth to do. When you begin to have truly honest conversations with yourself you will see what I am saying is true..

One of my favorite scriptures is Romans 12:2   “do not be conformed to the world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” The world wants you to believe that there is not enough, that things are not well, that there are all kinds of diseases waiting to get you. The world wants to fill your mind with fear and doubt, anger and hate. So I am asking you to release your old mind, the one filled with doubts and fears and limitations, the one that tells you, “you are not good enough, you can never get it right.” Exchange that mind for one that says you are wonderful, you are beautiful, talented, healthy, wealthy and wise.

It will be what you want it to be!! It will be what you tell it to be when you speak with clarity and belief.

Yes I know that some of you will say I live in LaLa land and I don’t really understand what’s going on. I however know without a doubt that when the decision is clear the way is made easy. The only difficulty is getting a clear vision of what we want and being willing to open the door to receiving our good.

The ancient prophecies have told us very clearly that this year is a year of purification; that every thing that is unlike love must come up and be dealt with. So it is very possible that you may have some unfinished business that you need to dig into your mind; bring it up, examine it, and decide about letting it go.

Questions to ask yourself:

Who am I angry with? What am I angry about? What am I afraid of? Why am I afraid of it? What will happen if I let the anger go. What will happen if I let the fear go?

Again you have to get really honest with yourself.

The first answer that comes up is I’m really not angry with anyone, I’m not afraid of anything. These are not truthful answers no matter who we are we have anger and fear it is apart of being in a human body. Our business is to stay awake and aware of our angry and fearful thoughts so that we can intercept them and change them.

Some very wise teachers have told us that our thoughts are like magnets they draw to us whatever we concentrate on. Our beliefs are founded on our habitual thoughts and when we think it and believe in it it definitely comes to pass.

So make an appointment with yourself and take some time to review and renew. Decide to have a healthy, wealthy, prosperous and loving New Year.

What I am suggesting is not easy, but it is definitely worth the effort. DO IT! Give yourself the gift of a wonderful love filled, happy fulfilled and prosperous life.

Remember I love you, I think you are wonderful and I believe you deserve whatever you want!!
