Hi Everyone and welcome to my first edition of Soul Inspirations for 2018 - "Slow & Steady for 2018"

Firstly, my very best wishes for a happy and blessed New Year everyone!

I've always been a fan and a follower of the magic energy of numbers and numerology, especially every New Year. Every number has its own meaning, as well as its unique vibration. This year of 2018, when added to a single digit comes out to a number ‘2’ Year. What does that mean? The ‘2 Year’ represents partnerships, relationships, cooperation, sensitivity, gradual process, and above all … one of patience.

This will be a year to spend time reflecting on the past, present, and future. When I say ‘reflect’, I don't mean to get stuck in the past, but more about looking back at the past year, accepting it, and seeing what worked, and what didn’t. Yet, try to remain in the present as you use what you learned in 2017 as you start to set your goals and aspirations for this coming year, but there’s no rush, so slow down, be a little more patient to set a more grounded future.

This year is not about results, but one of perseverance. As they say: “Slow and steady wins the race!”  This is also a time to let go of high expectations. Many of us have a hard time of slowing down, as we’re so used to doing things quickly. Society conditions us to believe that everything has to be done fast, quickly or at lightning speed. You must allow yourself to slow down so you can get the bigger picture of how you got to where you are, learn from your experiences as you set in motion a better idea of where you’re headed in the future with your ideas, goals, relationships and choices.

Last year in 2017 was a very stressful year, not just for our country but also around the world. This year please do everything you can to let go of the stress that’s around you. Express, share your emotions and let your feelings flow freely. Don't keep things bottle up, by not expressing yourself. All you end up doing is keeping those emotions in your body, which can take their toll on you, possibly creating or manifesting dis-ease.

2018 is a slower year energetically, so don't let yourself be hurried or it will cause even more stress on the body. You may want to move or get things done faster – but a 2-year doesn't allow that. It’s like pushing a cart up hill. Peace, patience, slow and focused perseverance are very important words for you this year. As I’ve said before, try and imagine it this way: You’re in a small boat! There are times when you must grab the oars and row with all your strength towards your goals, and there are times when you must let go of the oars and see where the current of the river takes you. This is a year of letting go of the oars.  

Sensitivity is at an all time high. We’re all sensitive beings, and more and more people are becoming more intuitive without even realizing it. Your sensitivity level could be increasing, so be aware of the people that push your buttons, which may often make you more aggressive to them. This is a year of cooperation, so be at peace within yourself. Don't take things too personally from these people, as they could be going through some of their own issues. Listen with kindness and harmony can be shared. This is a good time to understand how the mechanics of your psychic sensitivity works, so you can be in control of turning on your intuitive sensitivity or turning it down. You can be the master of your sensitivity and emotions – they don't have to be the master of you!

The number 2 also resonates partnerships. Last year was a ‘1’ year and we saw our own individuality, and we experienced our independence as we did many things on our own, but this year is about reaching out. You don't have to do everything by yourself. Try to be around people who inspire you, challenge you, and who encourage you to step out of your comfort zone. After all, these people are likely to give you the strength, courage, and inspiration to reach further than you've attempted to reach before, and to aspire to be more than you thought possible. You really notice this when you work with like-minded people, as it’s so much easier to blend and resonate with each other, not just mentally or intellectually, but with your heart and soul. When you’re inspired, it fills you with a sense of confidence and purpose. Inspiration is a powerful force, and provides a natural source of energy that will motivate you to push yourself (gently and slowly) further into 2018.

Enjoy and appreciate this slower energetic time. Be with others, and really try to relax more. You deserve it! Keep your goals in mind, meet them half way – but don't force or push. Be gentle, kind, and compassionate to yourself, as well as others. We’re all connected and all need to work together this year for calmness, clarity, and of course to learn some big lessons in patience.

Live a Soul-filled life!
