Who am I 2016? An inspired invitation

As 2015 is coming to a close, the days are still filled with grand surprises and multiple adventures....

I have barely had the time to take stock and dream 2016 into being, still baffled about some of the intensities and miracles of this year.  Here are some cohesive prompts for you to check in, take stock and sketch a desired course for this next chapter of our lives, as we like to play in our Western culture. Up until January 5th is still activational energy supporting your visioning and declarations.
Don't deliberate - jump in and write from your heart, not your mind.




2015: A RETROSPECTIVE
1. List 10 things that occurred that you have learned, changed and strengthened you.
2. If you could put it into a word or a sentence, how would you summarize 2015?
3. What feelings or beliefs would you like to release going forward?
4. List the big actions you took that caused great fear.  Did you survive them after executing them?
5. What were the greatest blessings and miracles?



Who am I 2016?
1. If you could choose a word that would encapsulate what you envision this coming year to be and feel like, what would it be?
2.  If you turned the coming year into an ideal affirmation, what would it be?
3.  Which 10 things would you like to invoke in 2016?
4. Which 10 things will you give your self permission to do/be?
5.  What is your theme song that would support your embodiment of this feeling?
6.  Which values would you like to strengthen and honor for this coming year, if you were a perfume, what values would you be spreading?
7. What is your most outrageous vision for your self (and possibly the world) if you had no blocks or time barriers? Plant this seed this coming year. Write a manifesto if you wish.
8. Make a list to respond to the question in this portion.  "In 2016, I AM:_____, _____, etc."
  (ie: I am an avid yogini, a graceful dancer, a joyful writer, a creative cook, relaxed, taking time to explore, producing my first YouTube videos, trusting more, making lasting friendships, etc.)  It can be as long as you wish.  :)


Inner child team work:
1. Allow yourself to go back in time and view yourself now as your 6 year old.  She has been informed that this is who she will be.  How do you feel?  What does she think?
2. Check in at 12 years old.  What does she think of herself of who she will become? Does she approve?
3. How about at 18?  Can she accept you? Write down what she thinks.
4. If she can get on your team and support you in who you are now and who you are becoming , what affirmation would she tell you that would motivate and inspire you with nourishing compassion?
5.  What steps can you take to be your own number one fan, bridging the gap between who your inner child thought you would be and who you are now and also rising into?
6.  Make a list of all people/things/archetypes that inspire you and imagine taking them like vitamins to emanate your vision more magnificently.



Every human being alive today, modern or tribal, primal or over-domesticated, has a soul that is original, natural and above all, indigenous in one way or the another.  Like all indigenous peoples today, that indigenous soul of the modern person has either been banished to some far reaches of the dream world or is under direct attack by the modern mind...For there to be a world at all, every indigenous, natural thing must start singing its song, dancing its dance, moving and breathing according to its own nature, saying its name, manifesting simultaneously its secret spiritual signature.
