It’s a startling question! We all know that death will come to claim us someday, yet we have the uncanny ability to deny it and avoid the topic altogether... as if that will somehow keep it from happening. This mindset has great consequences to our health and vibrancy and to the quality of our lives…for when we truly make peace with our own death, we open much more widely to life!
With an open heart and clear vision, you are invited to take on the mindset of having only one year to live. Now ... why in the world would that be a good idea? In a very gentle, yet profound way, this will cause your most important priorities to naturally emerge. You can then align your life around what brings you the most peace, fulfillment, and joy! The course offers multiple paths to expressing your Essence, your True Nature, which comes from the energy of love and good will toward yourself and others. With your Essence in the driver's seat, you will gain a heightened awareness of your moment-by-moment experience. And you willl find a depth of truly knowing of how precious your life is, and how much you truly matter. The course guides you to put your relationships and affairs in order so that you can leave this earth with no regrets, should it be true that you only have one year to live. This is a year of clarity, insight, and closure as you claim your own essential wisdom and joy. It is a year to live as if that is all that remains, because it just might be!
Finish business and catch up with your life in three areas: Relationships: Nurture the relationships most important to you and let go of those that no longer serve you. Prepare to leave this earth at peace with all people (alive or dead) with no resentments or regrets, and nothing left unsaid. End-of-Life-Details: Be mindful of the heavy (and likely emotional) task given to the person you designate to handle the details of your estate. Have everything in order and ensure that your wishes are honored. Environment: Put your house and belongings in order. Documents: Create your will, power of attorneys, trusts, etc. Bucket List: Make your dreams come true and experience what is most important to you.
Live more often from your True Nature, guided by love and the very best within you ...move away from being guided by fear and continually seeking control, safety, and approval. Your Essence, sometimes called Spiritual Self, Authentic Self, or Real Self includes your deepest character traits and virtues. It is your source of love, joy, wisdom, dignity and integrity.
"You know, death is something many of us are uncomfortable speaking about. But to die is to be human. And anything human is mentionable. And anything mentionable is manageable.” ~Fred Rogers. Become so peaceful with death that talking about it is as normal and natural as talking about life … just like birth is natural, death is also natural. It is the end of the continuum of our earthly life. Make peace with the law of impermanence, the fact that everything changes and eventually vanishes, including all all living things. Release your fears related to living completely true to yourself right now! Free yourself and fly!
Sacred Practices are woven into the course to beautifully help shape your experience and how you approach this year and your life going forward. These practices are all pathways into your essence, your True Nature, allowing you to live with internal peace and freedom, e.g., Allowing... life to be as it is, Wonder Like a Child, Flow with Your Feelings, Embrace Gratitude, and more.
