Forget January 1st: The Real New Year Begins January 22nd (And Your Energy Already Knows It)
That subtle resistance you're feeling toward January 1st resolutions? Trust it. Despite what the calendar says, the true energetic new year—the one that aligns with your inner wisdom—begins January 22
I've learned this truth through years of navigating my own transformation, watching women push against invisible barriers, and discovering that our energy knows far more than our strategic minds.
When Spirit Speaks Through Time
My journey with timing and energy wasn't learned in workshops or certification programs—though I've done plenty of those. It started in the quiet moments of my childhood, watching two very different approaches to spirituality unfold in my own home.
My mom was a Sunday school teacher, which meant weekly church attendance was non-negotiable. But our spiritual discussions ended at the church door—we didn't talk about God at home or pray over meals. That was just our normal.
Then there was my father, a card-carrying Mason who wore his Masonic ring every day of my life. That ring now rests in my jewelry drawer, a tangible connection to the quiet depth of his faith. The Masons, a somewhat secret society deeply rooted in spirituality, shaped my father's unspoken but profound connection to something greater.
I never fully understood the depth of my parents' spiritual foundation until one crystalline moment. My father, at 86 and living with Alzheimer's, rarely connected with present reality. Yet he turned to my 84-year-old mother on her hospice bed and said with startling clarity: "Well Nance, this is some kind of mess we got ourselves into this time. I'll see you at the next stop."
As tears streamed down my face, I witnessed pure spiritual truth—a knowing that transcends what we can see or touch. That's the kind of knowing we're being called to embrace right now.
The True Power of the Energetic New Year
The energetic New Year beginning January 22nd, 2025, isn't just another date—it's an invitation to align with the natural flow of universal energy. When the sun enters the Gate of Imagination, it opens a portal for:
Clearer intuitive guidance
Stronger manifestation power
Natural alignment with your true purpose
Enhanced creative flow
This timing aligns perfectly with cosmic forces—the stars, the North Nodes, and planetary positions creating an accelerated path for evolution. Think of it as nature's reset button, but one that actually works with your energy instead of against it.
Breaking Free from Success Survival Mode
Here's what nobody tells high-achieving women: Not everything requires the intensity of survival mode. That constant vigilance, the endless strategic planning, the perpetual push—it's keeping you from your next level of achievement.
I see it all the time in my practice: brilliant women stuck in patterns of force, missing the subtle energetic cues that could lead them to easier success. Your body and spirit are speaking. The question is: are you listening?
I've watched countless women transform their success by integrating spirituality into their every day lives. When you align your decisions with your energetic truth, you:
Make choices from clarity instead of fear
Create from inspiration rather than obligation
Lead from authentic power instead of forced authority
Embracing Human Design in Your Spiritual Practice
Human Design is a powerful tool for understanding your energetic blueprint. It's a system that combines astrology, the I Ching, the Kabbalah, and the chakras to provide a map of your unique energy. It offers a way to:
Recognize your natural gifts
Break free from societal conditioning
Make decisions that align with your highest self
When paired with energetic healing practices like EFT or NET, Human Design becomes a catalyst for transformation, helping you release old patterns and step into a more aligned, joyful life.
