​What will the new year of 2020 be for you?
 
What are you being called to birth into the world this year that’s part of your higher purpose?  The reason why you’re here. 
 
Envision it now. Imagine it bringing warmth and healing into the world.
 
Now expand that vision.  Make it even better. 10 times better. Beyond your wildest dreams!
 
What if there was no limit? No fear and anxiety?  No obstacle? 
 
What would your vision be then?  Imagine that. 
 
This could be the best year of your life yet!  Maybe even the best decade! 
 
So, what’ll it take to make that happen for you? To have your vision begin to sprout and grow in the new year?  

​I find much inspiration to reach toward my vision in the courage that St. Hildegard found to bring forth her visions into the world at a time when there were many obstacles in her way. She always gives me strength to keep on my path to manifest my own vision, even if obstacles may arise. 
 
One of her greatest visions that inspires me was when she was called to leave her home of 40 years and build her own abbey. St. Hildegard’s commitment to bring this project to fruition was fueled by the inspiring work she saw from St. Rupert in the 7th century.
 
Her song, O Jerusalem, is a celebration of this new creation, her abbey, and the respect and even kinship she felt toward St. Rupert.  

​The world is calling us to become creators who bring healthy change into our communities in the new year!
 
New and courageous ideas are needed! 
 
Through birthing our creations, we become a shining and powerful healing force in the world.What in your life are you being called to create in 2020? 
 
What’s your Rupertsberg to bring into the world?  Meaning, what is your current creative endeavor that you are being called to birth into this world so that it can be of service? 
 
Fill this vision with beauty, light, and love as you picture it in your mind. Imagine it bringing warmth and healing into the world. Step into what it would be like to manifest in the world. How would you feel?  

Picture yourself having already brought this vision into reality.  How do you feel now? 
 
How can you realize and manifest this vision in 2020?
 
“When you have a vision that is strong enough and powerful enough, nothing can stand in your way.” Lewis Howes

​Wouldn’t it be wonderful to find peace and inner fulfillment instead of overwhelm and exhaustion this holiday season?

Instead of all of the crowds, the noise, the over-eating and drinking, I invite you to go inward and pay attention to the wisdom of your dreams and the language of your heart.
Join me in my upcoming Facebook challenge: “Bring Spirit to the Holidays: 13 Sacred Nights Challenge.”  Discover more here. 
The 13-day challenge will absolutely change the way you experience the holiday season! 

​Starting on the 24th of December through the 6th of January, I invite you to work with one meditation inspired by St. Hildegard of Bingen per day. As you do this work, you’ll also pay special attention to your dreams and write down what you remember each day. You’ll notice if there are any connections between your dreams and the questions asked in the meditations.
Through this journey of meditation and journaling during this sacred time, you’ll come away with a sense of peace and fulfillment as you digest the year that has passed. You’ll be ready to go forward into the new year with sacred guidance and momentum. 

Don’t miss this challenge. It’s only offered this time of year!

The holiday season is here! I want to invite you to take some time to go inward and pay attention to the wisdom of your dreams and the language of your heart this season.  Instead of spending all of your time going outward into shopping malls and holiday parties, take some time to nurture yourself. ​

​The upcoming Sacred Nights of Dec. 24th – January 6th offer us an opportunity to find a moment of stillness, of inner quiet, where we can turn inward. We can enter into this space that can exist outside of our usual days and weeks in the year. 
Moving inward, we can reflect upon our past year and gain deeper wisdom from our experiences. We can begin to see our own potential in new light. We can celebrate our growth and accomplishments and also let go of what won’t serve us in the new year. 

In the stillness of listening to the divine messages we receive during this time, we can more clearly envision the upcoming year, setting our intentions for what we’d like to unfold on our journey. We can also have a deeper understanding of how we can bring more peace and love into the world in the coming year.
At this time of year, I’m inspired by one of the most powerful and spiritual women who has ever lived: Saint Hildegard of Bingen. Through an exploration of her visions, she can help us to turn inward to contemplate the deeper questions of our own lives. We can discover the important messages that are waiting for us during this very holy time of the year.

​Don’t let yourself get lost in the hustle and bustle of the holidays this year! Take time to turn inward during this sacred time. You’ll come away with a sense of peace and fulfillment as you digest the year that has passed, and you’ll be ready to go forward into the new year with sacred guidance and momentum! 
I will share more next week about how you can join me and St. Hildegard in bringing Spirit back to the holidays this year! 

​The recent snow here in Colorado has brought a blanket of stillness to the earth for several days just as we are entering this time of darkness during the year. The light of the sun during the day is less, and darkness of the night lengthens. I can feel Mother Earth breathe in for a peaceful rest, even as I hope to do the same.  

As we enter into the darkness of winter, we naturally experience a longing for inner peace. It’s time to turn inward in reflection and contemplation. This will help us to prepare for the return of the sun and the lengthening of days with insights that we can gain during this time.
 
But, as the holidays approach, we can easily be pulled from this quiet, peaceful time into the busyness of this time of year that is filled with shopping for gifts, visits with friends and family, cooking special foods, and joyous celebrations. 
 
It can also be filled with stress for many. The overwhelm of the season can leave us feeling defeated and irritable before we even start the day. Events from the past can come into our minds and steal our joy and gratitude from the present moment. Challenges in relationships may surface and the upset or anger can leave you exhausted. The memories of the loss of a loved may leave you feeling sad or depressed.  Even worrying about the cost of gifts can bring stress as we try to bring joy to others. 
 
What stress seems to be pulling you away from experiencing peace and love in this season? 

​With all of the hustle and bustle, it can be easy to get caught up in this stress and lose focus on the essence of this season –  a feeling of peace, joy, and love for yourself and others.
 
St. Hildegard shares her thoughts in Scivias that we can call upon to give us the strength to return to the essence of the season,  “You see a burning light which is of a great size, just as any mountain is high and great. The light is divided into many tongues at its top. In front of this light, there is a great crowd of people standing. The people are covered in light, and there is a brightly shining covering in front of all this crowd. This covering shines like crystal and it covers the people...”
 
Imagine that you’re being filled with this bright radiant light that shines with the strength of a great mountain that’s blessed with the unconditional love of the Divine. Take a quiet moment and slowly breathe in the warmth, light, and power. Feel how this dissolves anything that may be interfering with you experiencing peace and love this season. Breathe out and release those things that are obstacles. Return to the present moment and choose to feel calm, peace, and love.  

This is your True Self.  One that is loving, peaceful, and joyous.  Return to this place again and again this season.
