Be the Change you wish to see in the World  ~ Mohandas K. Gandhi

I arrived back where I am staying at 1:11 a.m., after ushering in the New Year by attending Kirtan (call-and-response devotional chanting in the Hindu/Yogic tradition) in Venice.

Driving through the glorious fog, I was reminded of something.

In the Nahuatl (Aztec) Belief System, the first 12 Days of a New Year correspond with the 12 months of the New Year. Day One = January through Day Twelve symbolizing December.

So, whatever one does on the Day corresponding with a month, will become manifest in that month.

If one works on the first (or fifth) day of the New Year, then January (or May) will be a month of work. Starting a project, writing or relating with Family or Belovéds, may all Manifest in the corresponding Month. Working out tomorrow, can mean a shift into focusing on your Health and beginning to take better care of yourself, for example.

It is all about intention. Setting an intention for a day can facilitate something coming into being in the Future.

This can work nicely with the notion of New Year’s Resolutions.

I will spend tomorrow writing New Year’s cards. So for me, January will be a month of reconnecting with Friends & Family.

So, set some intentions for the coming Year. Be brave. Be reckless. Dream. Create. Envision your Life. Fearlessly.

Then make it so.
