What will be new for you - and renew you - in 2014?

We're co-creating a new era.

Did 2013 feel like a transition year to you? If so, what are you transitioning from, and what are you moving towards? Do we consciously choose this? Or are we compelled by unconscious, deeply rooted patterns or by external forces and structures that pull us forward as though entranced?

What are we waking up to at this time?

In the somatic coaching discipline I practice, there’s an appreciation of DISorientation as a necessary prerequisite to REorientation. Think of putting in the clutch to change gears. Transition can feel like the gears are not engaging properly anymore. The new is emerging but has not yet clicked into place. That can feel disorienting, disruptive and disturbing. What to do?

Get curious and touch gratitude. Be with what is…and choose again. This is the center from which any heart-centered "next" will flow.

Consider another word for "curious." In German, the word for curious is neugierig. Neu means new; gierig translates to greedy or eager. Neugierig points towards an intense desire and openness for something new.

What are you REorienting towards? With respect (a willingness to look again) to that, what are you neugierig or curious about now?
