Observing 2009, living life consciously

A new year, 32 days to set the tone, I'll be keeping a blog on trying to live life mindfully. 2009 is a year of transitions, changing old patterns, re-arranging them without forcing them.

2008 brought so many changes, the most important ones after I had an accident that literally threw me out of a depression I was allowing myself to sink in deeper and deeper. I gave up many a resistance, I am now more conscious of the ones I am still holding on too. I'm changing my old patterns, I'm re-arranging them, well aware that I'm installing a few new rituals as well :-).

I'm trying to listen beyond the voice in my head, the one that I'm aware of but the one that is also telling me all sorts of stories and giving all kind of judgements. I'm trying to listen to the voice of my spirit, the signs of my guardian angel, the voice of my true intuition. Sometimes I get a clear receipt, but often I listen to static. The few clear receipts are subtle but worth every bit of effort.

My 51th year was the year where Yoga really found me. Where I realised that I don't have to solve everything myself, that it's a powerful universal gift that there are other people to share their knowledge and are amazing helpers. It was also the year that made me truly realise that I'm not my job, that I'm certainly not my body, that my anxiety and stress were just tricks of the mind, keeping me away from the present moment.

My 52nd year is the best one yet, each moment deserves to be the best one. This blog will document some of these precious moments.

In peace and light
