Keyword for the Month: Freshness.  There are so many things that we all want to accomplish this year.  We know that in years past we haven’t met all of our goals and this year we’re feeling smarter about it all.  “Only a little bit at a time”, says the January energy.

Chakra Activity:  Second Chakra.  For January, I see many people releasing energy from their second chakra.  They don’t want to take any “emotional baggage” from 2011 into 2012.  Again, I hear that everyone is smarter and wiser this year.  We’ve learned from our experiences in 2011.

This is a good month to release: Old ideas and beliefs.  2012 will unfold differently than many think.  There’s an energy of brightness all around and people can partake of this.  In what area do you have rigid beliefs or are very opinionated?  Allow any rigidity you’ve been carrying to release out of your feet and into the ground.  My sense is that this rigidity simply cannot move forward into future, so we need to release it now.

What you don’t release in the beginning of a year will follow you to the end of a year. The more flexibility you have in your beliefs, the more you can access these wonderfully bright energies that are flowing through 2012.

This is a good month to: Manifest through visualization.  Many people find that they’re chasing their manifestations and never truly having them.  Now is the time to be in control of your year.  I see that when we don’t do this in January, we can get swept from side to side with all of the different energies that come throughout the year.  Put down your tent now and stake it into the ground.  Don’t wait until the winds are blowing.  Use the energies of January to make yourself and your year solid.  Take time in January to visualize what you want for your year.

Earth Energies: The Earth Energies for this month look soft and calm.  Gaia is helping us get settled into our new year.  Her intention is to hold off on any big fluctuations until the summer.

Physical:  Be gentle with your body this month.  Humanities physical energies (like our bodies) are in growth.  Our bodies are raising their vibration ever so slightly and for many it’s happening this month.  Some may notice that they need more sleep than usual and others may notice that eating lighter foods is much appreciated by their body.

Spend more time in environments where your body feels light versus heavy or tense.  Our bodies are going through a transformation that requires we interact with them differently.  If your body doesn’t want to do something, don’t be mad at it; ask it, “What is the new way that we can do this?”  If you feel physically out-of-sorts this month the remedies I see are hot baths, exercise you enjoy, or stretching.

Emotional:  You may be feeling emotional and not knowing why.  As our physical bodies shift their vibration, our emotional bodies follow suit and start releasing anything that needs to go.  Try not to be upset with your emotions this month or to judge them – sometimes a release is just a release and it doesn’t need to be analyzed.

It looks like some may go on autopilot this month with their emotional self.  This is the experience of going unconscious to the release process.

The remedy I see is to help your physical body with its energy shift and this will lessen the emotional fluctuations.  These shifts can complete themselves within 30 days.

Mental: While the physical and emotional energies transform, the mental-self steps forward to be the boss.  At times, these mental energies may try to ignore or separate from the emotional-self, believing it to be problematic.  This seems to occur in work environments where emotions are not welcomed.  The remedy is to simply give attention and love to your physical and emotional-self when you can.

If you have a hard time focusing this month, your mental energy may be shooting far ahead into the future.  Call your energy back from the future and back into your body to regain focus.

Spiritual: People’s spirits are not as connected to their bodies this month.  This can create the feeling of being “out of it”.  Many are floating above their body trying to see into the future.  People want to know if they need to change their life in some way.

On a different note, our spiritual selves are aware of negative energy that seems to be shooting around the planet.  This energy is trapped within the energy-sphere of our reality.  It sling-shots around us as dark balls of energy that vary in size.  It’s always been there and we’re now becoming conscious of it.  The individual remedy for this is energetic protection.  If you have a favorite form of energetic protection, remember to utilize it this month.  In February, these balls of energy seem to be more still and this comes from our awareness of it – awareness heals.

For Professional Helpers:
(Psychics, Healers, Counselors, Massage Therapists, etc)

Be patient while the emotional dust of 2011 settles.  The people you engage with may seem like they’re on emotional autopilot this month.  With second chakra energies releasing, it’s possible for people to get caught in a cloud of confusion or unconsciousness as these energies work their way out.  This means it can be hard for people to connect the dots and understand why they’re doing what they’re doing.
