Words Have a Frequency

I can’t remember when I started choosing a word for the year for myself. It started maybe a decade ago. What I do remember is recognizing that I had emotional goals that I wanted to meet. At that time, the words represented aspirations to be more confident, more positive, and more self-loving. 

Other parts of my life were moving along fine, which is probably what opened the space for me to go deeper into myself. Even though my writing career was fulfilling and successful by any objective standard, I was fed up with the incessant internal voice that told me to be afraid of everything in life, and that nothing I did was good enough.

I was tired of letting my traumas dictate my choices and my self-worth.

As a writer, words have always felt powerful to me. I began seeking out local jewelry artists, and each year, I would have a small custom necklace made that showcased my chosen aspirational word. 

Words like Believe, Yes, and Be...

[I now frame this practice as embodiment or being in conscious alignment.]

This went on for several years. Every time I would wear or touch the word/necklace that was in play at that time, I would take a moment to tune in and remember my emotional goal - and let the thought of the word and everything it meant to me fill me.

Even then, I could tell when it was time to move on from a word, though I wouldn’t have known how to explain it. It was just a knowing, or really a lack of energy or coherence with the word.

At some point, I had to stop having the necklaces made. I was evolving so rapidly that by the time a piece was finished, it would only be in play for a few weeks before the knowing came again and it was time to make a fresh emotional goal.

The subconscious is a powerful force on its own. When you fuel it with sincere and positive intent, it is magic.

I’m not even sure what happened to the necklaces themselves at this point -- I trust they were found by people who needed them.

This year, as I leave behind all the challenges of 2020 and look ahead to what I want for myself and my life now, I am feeling drawn back to using words as beacons for that embodiment, but using them in what feels like a more conscious and powerful way that supports me in this new vision I am manifesting.

Here are my words for the year:

(I am) Trust
This has more than one layer of meaning for me. First, I trust in myself, in this new vision and calling, in the energies that support me in this shift, and in the strength of the supportive and loving relationships I have nurtured around me as I step forward.

I also want people to know they can trust in my message, that they can trust in the intentions of the community I’m building and, by participating in it, they can help to maintain it as an inclusive space that honors each person’s sovereignty. A place where people feel free to be all of who they are; a place where they are fully seen and held in that wholeness.

(I am) Abundance
I’ve had eras of both extreme financial abundance and extreme financial scarcity in my life, and toward the end of this year, I became aware of some old beliefs, including some ancestral blocks, that I was still carrying around abundance. I am ready to release those blocks.

Abundance, for me, is also a state of mind that has nothing to do with money. A state of mindful presence and gratitude for every moment of being alive.

Every moment is a gift.

(I am) Radiance
Last summer, a very old and deep childhood wound bubbled up. One of the oldest ones I can consciously remember. It was the moment I learned that it wasn’t safe to draw attention to myself or to “shine too bright” because it would trigger others’ insecurities and cause them to reject, demean, and abandon me.

I’m aware that these painful moments resurface as an opportunity for me to grow, or to heal through a deeper layer of that original wounding. As I move into this new career, it feels risky to be “putting myself out there” - with this new online presence, in this new, more public spiritual identity. It feels vulnerable to share so openly about my life and my journey.

To be drawing attention to myself.

I’m ready for all of this to feel easy and exciting, and to feel like momentum. I am ready to shine bright, and to let others manage their own projections.

(I am) Expansion
This has been the year that I finally recognized my own beauty and divine light -- a light people around me have been telling me about for years. I just didn’t know how to receive this as truth until I had freed myself from some old tethers that were keeping me stuck.

As a result, I have discovered my calling, and my intuition has never been more on, more accurate, and more accessible.

I am experiencing new pieces of magic every day. 

In fact, there is so much happening so fast that it is a little overwhelming, but I trust that everything is happening in kairos -- divine timing -- and though I don’t know where it will lead me, I am opening myself to everything the Universe is offering.

I stop and tune in to these frequencies several times a day, to keep realigning myself, and I’m seeing amazing shifts.

What are the frequencies that you’ll be tuning into this year?

In wholeness,
