In ancient Roman mythology, the god Janus oversees endings, transitions and beginnings. He is typically depicted with two faces, one looking forward and one behind. As we approach the new year, like Janus, we can look behind us to reflect upon the year that has passed and look forward to the coming new year.
Did you miss our last blog post on Closing the Door to 2024: How to honor and say good-bye to the past year? If so, you can find it here. Taking time to acknowledge, honor and reflect upon the past year will clear a space for you to invite in all that you want to manifest in the new year.
Opening the door to 2025
Now, let’s look forward to the new year 2025. Here are five steps to help you open the door to the coming new year with intention.
Check-in with yourself
Check-in with yourself again on those big questions you probably have asked in the past. Who am I? What are my passions and gifts? What is my purpose in this life? What do I still long to manifest in the world? Your answers may have changed as you’ve grown as a person over time. But this is a good time to check-in and realign as needed.
Be open and receptive
Be open to new ideas, new people and new opportunities that come your way at this time. These may be your guides giving you direction for the coming year. Remember messages can come in the most unexpected ways. Welcome them with open arms and let go of resistant to change.
Dream
What dreams does your soul still long to manifest? What is calling to you for the new year? What gifts does your community need from you? How can you make this happen? Jot down your ideas, and then pick one that you want to manifest in the new year. Make a plan to take the first steps of action at the beginning of January.
Envision
Picture the new year ahead as it could unfold in its highest form – you’re
living your passion and purpose, being your best self. You’re experiencing joy and love in the world. You’re manifesting your dreams. You’re taking care of yourself and connecting with those who uplift you, smiling and laughing. You’re extending kindness and compassion to others, sharing your gifts with the world. You’re engaging in your spiritual practice and spending time in nature. You’re contributing to making your community and the world a better place.
Release
Now, release the image you created of your life in its highest form for 2025 without feeling attached to it. Be open to what comes in the new year, for it may come in a form that you cannot even imagine at the moment! Your highest self will always bring you what is best for you.
Happy New Year 2025! May it unfold in the way that is perfect for you!
