Psyche in the City – ‘How can we prepare ourselves for 2012?’

‘We must all start to become accountable for what we are choosing to create. ‘ Freya ♥

Many of you will have heard of 2012 (as a phenomenon other than the date of the London Olympics!) But if you haven’t already, it’s definitely time you did… I heard that 2012 is due to be a significant year for humanity some time ago but initially all the information I came across focused on the ‘end of the world’ theory. Thankfully I have since found many inspiring, positive messages about the spiritual significance of 2012 and I recommend checking it out on the web if you are not already familiar with it. I have come to the conclusion that the question is not so much ‘what will happen to us‘ (which only inspires a sense of powerlessness) but rather ‘what is being required of me‘?

If humanity has the foresight to see that we face something this significant, then it must be so that we have the opportunity to prepare ourselves for it. (If we are simply going to be wiped off the planet then there would be little benefit in us knowing about it in advance!) Humanity has also been given the gifts of consciousness and freewill, so even when we have no idea how events will unfold, we can still strive to understand the essential message of 2012 and discover what action we must take.

2012 is not an external event that is going to happen to us, it is a shift of consciousness that is happening within us. This shift of consciousness is simply humanity reaching a new level of maturity and is no more surprising (or ‘far out’) than a child reaching puberty. 2012 is, at the every least, a point of focus to aim our collective energy into creating a new way of Being. Many people are already consciously doing just that and the more people who use this opportunity to create a spiritual shift for humanity, the stronger the positive manifestations will be as we take this exciting collective journey into the unknown.

So, what does all this mean for us individually? Regardless of whether you believe that 2012 heralds the birth of an enlightened era for humanity, a bloody Armageddon or a deadline for tackling climate change – the message is essentially the same: We must all start to become accountable for what we are choosing to create. And if we are going to embrace this wake up call, we must be willing to bring the focus back to ourselves.

Each individual has a part to play in this collective shift of consciousness and some of us will be directly instrumental in helping others through the process. But whomever we are and whatever our role, our first and most important task is to sort our own lives out so that we can strive to reach the inner balance that will be needed to approach life from a new perspective. When we are living out of balance, we are often compelled to act out our woundedness and continue to hurt others and our selves. Once we courageously allow our wounds to be healed, we are able to transform the way we relate to ourselves, to others and to the planet.

Healing our wounds means recognising what no longer works in our lives and being willing to do something about it. Ask yourself the following questions:

• Which of my relationships need to be healed?

• What past experiences need to be resolved and come to terms with?

• What destructive habits do I need to break?

• What harms have I caused others that I need to make amends for?

• How am I holding myself back from reaching my creative potential?

• What emotional defences are keeping me from allowing others to love me?

• What beliefs are keeping me prisoner in a life that I don’t want?

• Who do I need to forgive or release so I can open my heart again?

And then ask yourself, which of these questions hits a chord with me?

The question(s) which resonated with you will show you what action will need to be taken. 2012 gives us all the opportunity to heal the wounds that have been holding us back for millennia; to clear karmic debts; to release destructive patterns; to come to know and love our entire selves; to release past hurts and to make amends for any harm we have caused others and ourselves. When you listen for the message of 2012, you will intuitively know that this is what’s required of you.

We are being offered a powerful collective healing, so when you commit to taking full responsibility for the life you live, the Universe will conspire to help you. Anyone who chooses the path of healing today will quickly discover that they are not alone in their journey and there is much advice, support and guidance available to them. There are literally thousands, if not millions, of people who are already taking the plunge – that is the joy of 2012 – we are all in it together!

And once you have re-gained your inner balance, you will automatically act as a beacon of light to those who are still struggling. This will be your gift to humanity, your personal contribution to the this shift of consciousness we call 2012.

Are you ready to do whatever it takes?
