3 Tools to Align Your Energy for the New Year
As we enter a new year, now is a good opportunity to reflect on 2024 and envision the year ahead. In terms of Life Force Energy, there are three actions you can take to align your energy powerfully towards what you want to feel and experience in 2025.
Tool #1: Gratitude
As you reflect on 2024:
- Honor everything that’s happened. Honoring means honestly seeing and acknowledging things as they are. It’s not about judgment, shame, blame, or guilt.
- Let yourself soak in the high-vibrational energy of gratitude for all the good in your life, from the simplest of things to the most amazing things. You can be thankful for anything - even the difficult stuff.
- Identify the top 1, 2 or 3 highlights of 2024, see them in your mind’s eye, and let yourself be in awe.
According to Dr. David R. Hawkins' Map of Consciousness®, the energy field of gratitude is more advanced than that of desire (wanting things you don’t have or wishing things were different than they are). Gratitude puts the energy of the past in right alignment within you and positions you properly to manifest and receive what’s coming next.
Tool #2: Imagination
As you imagine 2025:
- Ask yourself a few powerful questions like “What would I like to experience in 2025?” or “How do I want to feel in 2025?” or “What kind of person do I want to be in 2025?”
- Let your imagination run wild and write out your absolute best-case scenarios in detail. Include details like colors, location, feelings, people, tastes, smells, etc. Who are you with? Where are you? How do you feel? What is the expression on your face?
- Write it all down starting with the phrase, “I’m so happy and grateful that now I am…” and fill in your future-self story.
Tool #3: Surrender
As you live your life each day:
- Practice the feeling of having, doing, and being everything you imagined in the previous step. Embodying the feeling of it (even when it’s not yet a physical reality) is like a magnet pulling your envisioned reality into being.
- Let go of your attachment to the outcome. God/Universe is in charge of the “how” and “when” of it all. Your job is to embody your feelings: feelings of gratitude for what is already good right now and feelings of having, doing, and being what you’ve envisioned for your future self, and to pay attention to what shows up during the course of everyday life so you can take action that’s aligned with your dreams.
- Relax and trust that what’s meant for you will always come in the perfect way and timing. In the grand scheme of things, timelines are a human invention so be patient.
Doing these practices sets your intentions in motion and primes you for receiving them or something even better.
Remember - you can work with your energy or against your energy. You will learn and grow either way. Working in harmony with Life Force Energy makes life more joyful than working against it.
Here’s to living in harmony in 2025!
