New Year’s Reflection: The Perfection of Life’s Natural Unfolding

As we step towards a fresh new year, it’s natural to notice moments of restlessness, self-judgment, or unease. Maybe thoughts of the past or future arise, seeming to need resolution. We even call it making “New Year’s Resolutions” :). Thoughts like “Am I doing life right?” or “Am I missing something?” or “I fear my life or "I" is not whole or ‘enough’ yet”, are natural arisings. They are not truths about us—they are the mind’s way of trying to help, understand, or resolve energy that is simply moving in the body.

The beginning of a New Year holds the precious gift of even more conscious awareness of what is asking to simply be felt in the body as it integrates itself.

Every feeling, every thought, every subtle tension is part of a deeper, often mostly unconscious process: residual energy seeking completion in the nervous system. It is not failing, broken, or ‘out of place’—it is alive and naturally unfolding toward wholeness or Love. The sense that we or our lives are “not enough” is simply a misperception: we are not lacking, we are simply sensing the ongoing integration and natural evolution that is ALREADY happening within us. Even the feeling of “I need to ‘do’ or ‘be’ more” is the nervous system signalling that something just asks to be felt, acknowledged, and allowed to move… and it will naturally complete itself through the innate intelligence of the body. It will dissolve itself in to Love.

Integration does not require forcing, fixing, or intellectual understanding. Although insights of course can arise. Integration emerges naturally through presence: noticing, being fully with, what arises, breathing into it, and allowing the body/nervous system to complete what it has been holding patiently for you until awareness or presence was ripe enough. 

A single moment of loving conscious awareness, softening and opening to what is already here in the body... can shift years of looping, repressed, subtle energy.

This coming New Year, may we trust ever deeper the innate wisdom and intelligence of this body and mind. What ‘feels’ unresolved is not a flaw—it is part of the ongoing dance of life, actively unfolding toward balance and equilibrium. It is simply sensing what is already resolving itself!

Every trigger, every thought, every memory, every story about reality, every sensation is mind seeking resolution for the system. We are ALWAYS exactly where life intends for us to be… how could we not be?! We are as we are… Life is EXACTLY as it is!…perfectly.

Maybe a New Year’s resolution could be…

“Trusting ever deeper the natural unravelling and integration of the nervous system, already flowing with the infinitely perfect rhythm of life’s unfolding dance.”

Let’s love every aspect of the body mind; every fear and insecurity, so deeply and unconditionally, all the way home into the unified field of love, to their ultimate dissolution...
