Standing on the precipice of another journey around the sun, caught in the timeless dance between what was and what is yet to be… In this annual ritual of bidding farewell to one year and ushering in another, here we are, each of us partaking in a tradition that transcends the cosmic language—a shared acknowledgement of the ebb and flow of time that provides us with a brief respite for reflection and renewal.
In light of recent global events that have sent shockwaves and deep unrest in the collective with its unprecedented challenges and upheavals, many may ask, what can we do at this moment in time? Where are we headed? How can I find peace and equanimity against this backdrop? In his New Year message which you’ll find below, Igor shares:
“These ideas may come in the form of not knowing the shape of things to come – but feeling it in the heart, feeling it as that amber warm, glowing sense of true belonging of who we are, why we're here, what is our purpose. And why the ‘head in the sand’ approach no longer distinguishes spiritual folk, no longer distinguishes the one who is aware. Contrary to that: being fully aware of what is happening, holding this whole world’s entire drama in the heart, and being able to reconcile it there; at once, knowing that it is irreconcilable by virtue of belonging to that sphere of duality, whilst at the same time knowing that it is always reconciled. Always reconciled, because this is the nature of our heart. The nature of our heart is also to enjoy this glory of living on the planet Earth, by being firmly planted into the soil, the soil that feeds us, the soil where all the nutrients that come to support this body come from, and nowhere else.”
Happy New Year from us all at Flowing Wakefulness
