It’s January and we are beginning to live the New Year of 2013, and according to the Mayan elders, we are entering into an era of New Consciousness. We are here to witness the awakening of our consciousness in each and every individual on the planet. We are opening a door to a new era of possibilities, to a new era of Creation. In order to do that, it is important that we learn how to both allow ourselves to know how our mind distracts us from the Truth of Life, and also how to forgive ourselves for whatever our experiences have been in life that may have created wounds that prevents us from living the full experience of our potential.

Don Alejandro, a well-respected Mayan elder acknowledges that for his people this is the end of a 5,200 year cycle. The biggest shift will be from masculine to feminine leadership & power. Feminine leadership is the type of power that supports and encourages empowerment of EVERYbody. A type of leadership that experiences no threat or need to protect one’s power from others. The need to protect often creates great stress for our systems, and can lead to deep illness.

At Morning Crane, this month is all about AWARENESS. It is time to be more aware of what comes out of your mouth and into your body. It is time to reflect on your behaviors, and decide which behaviors are benefiting your life and which are preventing your forward progress.

To support this movement into New Consciousness, here is an exercise from Dr. Jean Houston, one of the leading visionary thinkers of our times:”Every day take a piece of paper and divide it into 3 columns. On top of the first column, you ask: What do I want from the Universe? Allow stream of consciousness to arise and write it down. In the 2^nd column ask: What does the Universe want from me? And in the 3^rdcolumn, What do the Universe and I want together?It is from this place that we find deeper meaning about ourselves, for ourselves, for our community, and for ALL people. We, at Morning Crane, are here for you!!! We will hold the bigger vision for your healing while you are growing into it for yourself. Our mission is to support you in every aspect of healing for you and your family.

Let 2013 be the year when you grow into your New Consciousness. Let this month of AWARENESS be the first step.
