2025 has been an intense year for me of shedding old skin and not quite being in the new, have you felt that too?

I just read that when a snake sheds its skin its eyes are covered and its vision is impaired for a little while. The snake just has to stay put, all coiled up somewhere safe, until the old skin is fully left behind. Only then does the vision clear up.

It's honestly been painful year of letting go of fantasies not rooted in truth, shedding habits that undermined my health, and more than anything a really introspective somewhat lonely year of going deeply into my body, my soma and bringing presence and love to layers of contracted energy which released ancient layers of pushed-down grief.

It didn't feel like I had a choice about it. If you want to move forward, Maria, you will have to take a step back; and really love on the old contracted energy knots in your body.

So this year has been a lot of not being very social, not going out much. My circles of confidants has seriously shrunk over the past five years, not that I don't love every friend I am blessed to have ever made -- but my focus was clearly redirected from the outer world and has been on this blossoming inner friendship.

The friendship between my inner loving Light and my little Maria. My mortal me increasingly trusting the loving Light and the Light coming closer and closer and more and more in to the darkest nooks and crannies of my being. I AM that intensely present Loving Light and I am also the wounded little girl who just wants her daddy to come back and make everything safe and stable.

Don't you think we are all shedding tight old skin so we can contain more of our own Divine Light Source inside? That our energetic container is expanding and we are getting ready to stand in much more Love and much more Light. So much that we can't ever hate anyone else no matter how many reels to the contrary we watch.

In early February we enter into the year of the Horse. It supposed to be forward movemenet after a period of deep inner transformation. That sounds pretty good to me. I trust I will have my vision back by then and that I will be sporting a much more expansive energy earth suit chock full of Loving Light.

I am grateful for all that I learned this year but I am so ready to gallop instead of slither.

Fixing your outer life from the inside

At some point in our lives, we come to the realization that our own minds are largely responsible for what we are met with in the world. That our thoughts, feelings, wounds, habits or downright traumas, whether generational or personal, are played out in how we perceive our life circumstances.

With great patience and gentleness, we begin to clear out and cultivate the content of our minds, as well as heal the deep wounds that play out as painful encounters in the exterior world. We gradually learn to pull the projections back inside where we will find the true source of our pain. The stagnant or blocked places in the energy field of the body. When we embrace these inner places with presence and empathy, they gradually seize to show up as unpleasant outer encounters that produce triggered reactions and drama.

This is not a fast-fix process. While the more superficial ripples of the mind may be a easy to quiet down, healing the deeper grooves, in yoga we call the samskaras, will likely be an ongoing process. A process of taking responsiblity for the reactivity that may appear to be caused by external forces. The willingness to feel deeply into the energy field of the body, feeling into the unpleasant feelings that we may well have gone to great lengths to avoid. Greeting these uncomfortable vibrations of anxiety, fear, anger, sadness the way you might greet, acknowledge and even embrace a small scared child.

To give this process a try, please consider trying my Felt Sense meditation which is inspired by Gendlin’s Focusing Technique. This meditation will put you in touch with the places within that are crying for healing. Please thank the outer circumstances, people, events that trigger the emotional discomfort because with out the triggering even, you might not even know that these old energies are operating within you and are calling for healing attention and presence.
