Most of you will be too freaked out to to live the next year - from January 2020 to December 2020 like you have a Year to Live, like you have only one more year left...but this is what I wish to experience and take a few inspired people with me.
"What a downer" some of you might say...
"Why on earth would you want to do that" others might add...
I get it - this freaks most people out, which is why I opened with it and I'm not judging it - our mortality is not something we have been conditioned to intentionally face...we have been conditioned to avoid it at all costs - don't speak about it, don't mention it and you are so weird if you do. We face it only when we are forced to face it and all of us will have to do this at some point in our lives and believe it or not there is great power and healing available when we do so intentionally...
Our Mortality is one of the Biggest Life Awakeners on the Planet! It Creates a sense of Urgency and Immediacy in your Life...
t is a deep compassionate dive into how brilliant and brief life is that literally defibrillates us out of the "Someday" energy shifts that so many of us are stuck in - you get focused on what matters big time and that someday energy dissolves almost immediately - yes scary for many of us, because you will actually take action on what matters most to you...
When you Learn to Live as if you are facing death at all times, at least for a year, you'll become bolder and more open...and when you learn to live this way you ultimately live life fully.
You see I believe that it is because we avoid the subject of (death) that we also avoid Living our one precious Life in a way that matters to us...We avoid Death and so we avoid Life. It makes so much sense to me what about you?
I can understand how the contemplation of death may seem counter-intuitive but I truly believe after much personal and professional research, reading and reflection that there can be no better or profound way to learn to truly LIVE Life to the fullest then to learn to live with a sense of immediacy and the impermanence of it all.
The amazing Buddha recommended that we do just that, not to frighten us, but to truly deeply wake us up to the fragile, fleeting and precious nature of our lives. I remember vividly, that it was close to 10 years ago, in a small obscure sort of Buddhist temple that I contemplated my mortality and it did just that for me - it woke me up and I took inspired actions big time!
So in 2020 I desire to once again embark on this journey and do a deeper dive with my own life and guide a few others, who aren't too freaked out by it, to do the same...
I understand it's not for the faint of heart - it is I believe for those that want to take some big bold, beautiful and very profound steps in 2020. To live it all and Feel it all and Finally Create what is in their Heart to Create and Experience...no more holding back...
I'm calling it a Year to Live for it is this deeper practice and experience that encourages us to be more real and massively more clear about out priorities and more courageous. I also believe that this practice puts us profoundly in touch with our best, highest and truest self like nothing else can...This is more about Life than Death if you really think about it.
It will be a Year to live like never before...
A year to Love with no holding back...like you are truly being this kind of love and it's not just written somewhere on your favourite mug or something...
A year to Forgive and Let go...finally release that heavy story...because a Year to Live helps you just drop it! It's like a weight has been lifted, giving you permission to just Live...
A Year to experience Joy like never before, in the simplest of the everyday...not in the fleeting of the external world and "stuff" which in the end doesn't matter all that much does it?
A Year to practice being so present in every drop of precious time you are gifted. You can read about being in the Now and the Power of the Present moment till the cows come home but this practice shifts it from Theory into Reality - that's what I desire...how about you?
You only get one Life...it's actually your duty to Live it as fully as possible....and this year will be all about that...
This year will not be about doing more but about experiencing more, feeling it all...feeling your life before it passes you by...
Through great kindness and compassion we will learn to be more...experience more of our one precious life.
So who is this year for:
- someone who desires to finally shift from that "someday" life sucking energy
- someone with something of significance to start of finally finish (we all have something in us)
- someone who no longer wishes to miss any more of their life
- someone who truly wishes to focus on what matters like never before
- someone wishing to experience living a whole hearted life - not just talk about it, but feel it!
- someone who is deeply intrigued with this concept but does not wish to do it alone, be guided and surrounded
It's for me and anyone who truly wishes to Live Awake because this is what death does, it wakes us up to how precious life is...
A year to live is not really about Death, it's about renewal, revitalization and a deep reconnection to what truly matters in this brief and brilliant life - not on a theoretical level but on a full out "Heart" level baby! No more shallow stuff here...we're diving in deep because we crave to live and feel our Life before it's over...
This one year experience actually amplifies our potential for healing and for creating what we truly wish to create by living the next year as if it where your last - this is not reckless, it's real...for none of us truly knows when that first day of that final year actually begins...
It is a year to live as consciously as possible, a year to live finishing unfinished business, a year to finally let go of that deepest regret, a year to catch up with our lives, a year to cultivate our true heart by facing death head on...yah baby!
This is the rawest most real kind of living and yes it is not for many as most of us will be too freaked out to even contemplate this experience...better to go back to what we know...numbness, overwhelm, drowning in what doesn't matter, a closet full of regrets...living in someday...
But Oh the places we'll go...and I don't mean jumping off cliffs or things like that...this goes deeper and deeper is what I crave at this point in my life...what about you?
But if you are one of the brave and not one of the freaked out - message me on Facebook or e mail me with your answer to:
A Year to Live is what I desire to experience because....
And I will keep you posted on next steps for being part of this experience.
"It was the end of the line that ignited a new beginning. A new way of noticing the life I was meant to live. I'd spent one minute in Heaven and was guided to an eternity of miracles. God presented me with a stairway into my soul. A climb toward peace" Gerry Visca, the Life I Didn't Notice
Whatever journey you choose...I love you all...
