I always love when the New Year comes, it means changes. New numbers, new life. We can begin again and look forward to a new energy.

2007 added up to a 9. Number 9 is the "End of a cycle, the beginning of a new cycle." According to Jin Shin Jyutsu (JSJ), (an ancient form of Japanese acupressure or harmonizing the body's life force) #9 erases the past.

If we did our inner work last year, we all had the opportunity to clear out the past and bring our lives into a better balance. It was a year to see our weaknesses and heal what we could and make room for new life. Of course every moment we have that same opportunity.

Our Earth is going through a transformation. David Wilcock (who could be the reincarnation of Edgar Cayce) says we will be entering the 4th dimension at the end of the Mayan Calender in 2012.

Our whole solar system is evolving, heating up, and changing. For example; "The icecaps on Mars melted within just one year, causing 50% changes in surface features. Jupiter is becoming so energized that there is a "tube of energy in the path of the moon Io. The size of Jupiters magnetic field has more than doubled since 1992."(quotes from David Wilcock. To see more go to divinecosmos.com Look under "Popular" then click on "What is Ascension?")

We are all heading on a different path. My 8 year old grandson said to us, "Earth's polar ice caps are melting. The sun is getting hotter and causing this." Out of the mouth of babes...Such Logic! In fact, according to David Wilcock, "The Sun's magnetic field is over 230% stronger than it was at the beginning of the 1900's" The rape and plunder of our beautiful Mother Earth has NOT helped the situation.

Are we responsible for the sun heating up? On a spiritual level this may be true. We are experiencing an evolution of Earth and us as divine/human beings. This all has helped to create more LIGHT. The light of the Great One Spirit is growing in us. We all have the Sun, the planets and constellations in us. The Sun may represent the heart. The Great One Heart of the Universe.

2008 adds up to a 10. Number 10 is the decate, the "number of God." In Jin Shin Jyutsu (JSJ) #10 is the "outpouring of unlimited life force." Someone said is was the $ point. The life force of the body flows along definite avenues called meridians. It feeds life into our cells. Without it we would die. The life force is present in every atom, cell, and molecule. It is the one constant of the Universe and occupies every minute bit of space.

Number 10 in JSJ has to do with the breath. "All healing is within the breath." (Mary Burmeister, Master of Jin Shin Jyutsu) As we grow we will learn to become more of who we are at our center. The life force of the whole Universe is within us waiting to be born anew.

Number 10 is also a #1. Number 1 (JSJ) is the "Prime mover. Connecting extreme heights with extreme depths." #1 gets everything going, it helps to clear ALL disharmony in the body. If you hold your #1's (inside knees at crease or a little higher on thighs) for one hour a day for one year it helps with all "big labels and little labels.") The hands are like "jumper cables." Hold the points gently, do not squeeze.

I like to think of the Great "One." In Spirit we ALL are part of the great "One" body of God Goddess. Let us learn this in the coming year so that we can begin to see everyone as ourselves. This will bring peace to this planet and peace in all of our hearts.

Blessings and Love in the New Year and Always!
