“And now we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been.” Rainer Maria Rilke, Austrian Poet The first Body and Soul class of 2021 (on Sunday 3rd January) introduced this month’s theme: Awareness. We practised the Dru sequence to clear the pathway for change. Energy Block Release 5 is designed to help establish a clear vision so that we can see our goal in life. By creating a natural flow and rhythm the movements can help us to let go of deeply entrenched emotional patterns that so often prevent us from moving forwards. With three distinct sections we were able to expand the subtle body, clear the chakras and embrace change – especially appropriate after 2020’s roller coaster ride. We’ll be working more on the subtle bodies and energy over this month, utilising EBR4 and 5 to release our full potential for the coming year. And also using the Tree of Transformation which is an amazingly powerful but simple sequence enabling you to reclaim your power. The dawn of a new year is an excellent time to turn our attention to the concept of awareness – to extend our thinking beyond our usual world view and to pay attention to what’s surrounding us, as well as to what’s within us. Just as the stars, planets, moon and sun exert energetic influence over the Earth, so everything that surrounds and interacts with us influences how we think and feel as well as how we respond to experiences. Cultivating an increased capacity for awareness in a busy world is no easy feat, but this month’s insights, activities and words of wisdom will encourage you to remain fully in the moment. Don’t worry if at the moment you struggle to stay aware – it just means January will be a particularly purposeful and eye-opening month for you, giving you strategies to help you practise the art of being present. Affirmation of the week: I am aware of what is around and within me. Task of the week: Enrich your life: This week, every day for 5-10 minutes, focus your awareness on one key area in your life. On Monday you might think about your family relationships; on Tuesday your professional growth; on Wednesday your love life; on Thursday your health, and so on. Note down what’s working for you and what’s not. With this knowledge, seek out new experiences or find new energy to enrich your whole year. Taken from Every Day Matters Diary by Dani DiPirro
