The energy changes with the seasons and coincides with the four spiritual gifts starting with the new Spiritual Year in September. For the first three months, it is prophetic energy – which is all about the big picture and creativity. The second quarter is for clairvoyants – a clean, organized energy which requires everyone to be very efficient.

On March 1^st, we move into the very high and directed energy of clairaudience. During this season, working with the facts (what, when, where and why) helps you accomplish ten times more than what you originally envisioned. Everything will move faster now that the holidays are over because it takes some people almost three months to get over the emotions of the social times in November and December. Now, it is best to move forward with the projects you have been planning.

During the months of March, April and May stay on track by focusing on what you want – not what others want for you. Coordinate with people who can help you so you do not become a one-man or one-woman operation. Take a step-by-step approach to everything so you can check off each item one by one. Every time you finish one project, you can move to the next one.

Over the next three months, it is important to maintain an inner calm and listen to your inner voice. This way, you will get the inspiration that comes directly from your spiritual helpers, your angels. Usually, you will have 1-2 spiritual guides if you came to work with ideas or concepts. However, if you came to work more with people, you may have contracted with 3 or more helpers to back you with your life purpose.

Remember, your purpose is not a vocation to work with children, animals or your profession or trade. The real purpose in life is all about an inner spiritual message you came to share with others, although it is most important to live that philosophy for yourself first. Being loyal to yourself is the key to being successful on planet Earth.

Your discernment will be like a steering wheel during this time as well. When someone around you gets their energy off, gently show them how much you care, but let them also know they have to be responsible for how they feel. You cannot make them happy or driven. They need to do this for themselves. Relationships where you are leaning on another person never work. Everyone has to be responsible for standing on their own two feet and deciding what they want to be involved with.

If you are benevolent and help people be the best they can be, you will be very successful during the next few months. Just do not get personally involved with troubles created by other people or let them take advantage of you. Do not take no for an answer. As long you keep your facts straight, you will have the best time of your life.

This spring, as new life sprouts and generates high energy, you can put your power to the test.  No matter where in the order of your spiritual gifts your clairaudience falls, bring it out and make it work really well for you!

When you are alert and in tune with yourself, you are in a state of being awakened. During the entire year of 2012, you will have a great opportunity to flow in a direction your true inner sensitivity takes you to be present and enjoy every moment. Because it is most important how you do what you do, the more time you take to utilize all of your abilities, the more fulfilling and rewarding it will be. Here are a few hints on how to know what is really taking place below the surface of your every experience. Get ready to have your very best year yet.

How this energy affects you in your personal life:
If your life has been moving so fast you are not even sure what is really happening, you need to take back your control. Everything happens for a reason and if you do not awaken to what is really going on, you may miss an opportunity to clarify things better and learn even more. Despite of what it may seem, you are holding the reins and steering your life wherever you want it to take you. In the event you may have delegated this to someone else, take it back. Since no one can live your life for you, they should not make your decisions. 2012 will be a powerful year and it will bring a lot to you if you keep a close watch on: what is in it for me spiritually? Set goals on what you would like to achieve for yourself and how it positively impacts others. Your spiritual growth is all you will take with you when you pass on and you can really make it count if you look deeper, keep it simpler and always be clear who are you doing it for and why. You are your own boss. Set yourself up to experience the biggest everlasting success ever.

How this energy affects you in your business life:
The first fact to awaken to this year is that true business does not mean work. The spiritual side of your service is being there to share with others in order to inspire them as you reap an inner reward. This means much more than simply laboring for the money. This year, you will want to look at what you are engaging in and commit your energy to developing and offering your unique input. Your time has come. Organize yourself to do what you love by making it practical. Ask for help and the backing will be there. There is no limit to what you can achieve if you utilize all you have inside and create the best service you can. You will have a lot of fun if you do not notice all the effort it took to make it happen. 2012 is your green light. Do not sit and wait. Enjoy it!

How this energy affects you in your social life:
To awaken in your social life means to understand clearly where you stand with all your relationships, what role others play in your life and where the boundaries are between you and others. Most of your troubles start when you get mixed up with something that does not belong to you and you take it on as your own concern. Remember, what others are going through is their own opportunity to learn about themselves and just because you care does not mean you can steal it away from them. Be there with all of your encouragement, suggestions and support. Do not take their experience away by doing it for them and burdening yourself. You cannot accomplish this without communicating clearly and sharing openly. This will also help you see who cares enough to respond back and offer the same warmth and openness to you. You deserve to be surrounded by those who care about you as much as you care about them. It starts with you respecting yourself first.

As we mentioned in September with the new spiritual year blog post, each one of the four spiritual gifts (prophecy, clairvoyance, clairaudience and healing) share a special energy with one particular season.

Today begins the season for clairvoyance. The energy is one of organization, efficiency and focus. After the prophetic gift does its thing during the fall months with its creativity and coming up with the big picture of what needs to be done, it is now time to start looking at how it will be accomplished, so you will need to clarify all of the fine details. Do not be tempted to do it to perfection. Let the reality play out somewhat differently than the way you envisioned it. This is the beauty of – live on and you will see.

Remember the Energy of the New Spiritual Year, MOBILIZE, when you sit down and revisit all of your personal, business and social goals for the spiritual year. Keep relaxed by doing the Personal Energy Cleansing technique and meditate on how you are going to accomplish each one in the most efficient way possible. If you can see a picture in your mind of how this will work for you, you have it made.

Never try to do anything yourself without involving other people around you, wherever possible, so they can benefit from what you are envisioning. When the air is crisp (at least in the Northern Hemisphere) you will need to be more organized to move forward with a solid picture. Remain bright and enthusiastic inside even if the weather is stormy. Winter can be beautiful and sunny as well. You do not need to compare the good days with the not so good ones. Enjoying every moment will bring you light and peace.

Remember, this is the season of sharing and giving. Just make sure you are doing it for yourself first, know exactly what you are gaining from it and why you are doing it.

Lastly, the clairvoyant gift is all about timing. Do not get distracted with trivia or projects that take you away from your true self. Follow your inner sensitivity and it will always lead you in the right direction.

Enjoy the season of clairvoyance!

What is a Spiritual Year?

Believe it or not, only the calendar New Year begins on January 1^st. Each year, the new spiritual energy starts moving in on September 1^st and lasts through August 31^st of the following year.

This is when the new school year starts and summer holidays come to a close. Summertime is when the energy winds down and many people are out enjoying the warm weather or taking much-needed vacations. In Europe, most shops close for the entire month of August to regroup and come back refreshed.

This fresh energy is very motivating and most people set new goals and aspirations of what they want to accomplish throughout the new spiritual year. Just think about it – when do you start planning new projects and feel as if you have a new lease on life? Is it during December or January after the holidays? Or is it when you feel the autumn (or spring if you are down-under) when the energy is alive with activity?

As you may know from following the Inner Expansion emails or blog posts, the spiritual energy on planet Earth changes on a yearly, monthly, weekly and daily basis. You are ahead of the curve when you know how this energy affects your personal, business and social life.

Throughout the year, everyone on the globe is learning to understand this energy. This helps you avoid the pitfalls where you (or your friends and associates) work against yourself by indulging in not-so-positive concepts. With our blog, you can relax and ride with it – every step of the way.

The Inner Expansion program has spiritual helpers of helpers who are sharing these insights with us. We pass them on to you during the year in our newsletter. Everyone can learn how to communicate directly with their own spiritual helpers or angels – to get their own answers to life. We can show you a simple technique to ask them direct questions and get immediate responses. Just go to our web site InnerExpansion.com for more information.

Review the Last Spiritual Year

What was the energy flowing through planet Earth during the last spiritual year (September 2010 through August 2011)?

PREPARATION

Here are some key regrouping questions you can ask yourself. By answering these questions, you will be ready for what is coming next:

1. What did I accomplish for myself in the last spiritual year?
2. How loyal was I to myself?
3. What did I learn about myself?
4. What could I have done differently?
5. What were my highlights?
6. How did what I learn prepare me for the new spiritual year?

Plan Your New Spiritual Year

Now, what is the spiritual energy flowing through the planet from September 1, 2011 through August 31, 2012?

MOBILIZE

This energy is especially important because it will motivate you to accomplish what you have been planning over the last year. Because the energy of the last spiritual year was PREPARATION, you may have been going through a growth or transition period in your life.  It prepared you for what is coming up this year.

This year is all about moving into action and not looking back. You may have developed personal, business or social systems that worked for you in the past, but need refining or refreshing now. Do not doubt yourself because you will have an opportunity to totally upgrade every aspect of your life – from top to bottom!

Here are three questions you can ask yourself to get ready for what is coming up:

1. What is my main personal (and/or spiritual) direction and goals for the new spiritual year?
2. What is my main business direction and goals for the new spiritual year?
3. What is my main social direction and goals for the new spiritual year?

Hint: Write down specifically what you want to accomplish and why.

Reminder:
Personal (or spiritual goals) are what you want to learn personally for yourself, business goals are how you want to be more of service to people and social goals will reflect how you want to communicate better with your loved ones, friends and others.

How the Spiritual Gifts follow the Seasons

Throughout the year, the spiritual calendar relates to the four spiritual gifts and can be divided into the four seasons.

The prophetic gift takes over in the fall and is the big picture when everyone starts new projects with lots of creativity, inner devotion and passion. This is where you begin to manage and set the energy for each one of your goals and objectives by looking at all of the possibilities available to you. You will have an inner knowing that anything is possible – and if you are having fun – you will always be on the right track. It is important to focus on one project at a time so you do not get scattered or disorganized. This is a softer energy where your creativity transcends any doubts or limitations you may have allowing your full potential to come alive.

The clairvoyant gift kicks in during the winter when you need to invest more time organizing the vision of what you are doing so it will be much more successful. Efficiency is the key to staying focused during the holidays so you do not get side-tracked or slowed down by trying to make everything perfect. The balance of your communication plays an important role by keeping empathy from turning into sympathy. It can be an emotional time if you indulge in too many concepts that do not belong to you. This is a very high and cool energy – especially when your timing is consistent.

In the spring, your clairaudient gift helps you delve more into getting all of the facts: what, when, where and why. As a result, you will overcome any challenges so everything you are endeavoring to accomplish can become a reality. If you allowed yourself to get disorganized in the winter, it will take you three months (January-March) to get back into your real true feelings. Keep things simple with this smooth and direct energy without becoming overly aggressive. Your power is to make swift and practical decisions. Once you set your mind to it, your fulfillment comes from making it happen.

Finally, in the summer, this is when you bring out your feeling or healing gift more. Let yourself heal from the previous nine months of activity by regrouping your experience. Wind down and take that much-needed vacation or spend more time with the family if possible. Do not try to push yourself during this period – as you will find that it is a little bit like paddling upstream. It is a warm and bubbly energy that inspires everyone to be involved. The healing gift gets down to all of the fine details and makes sure that everything is in place. This is a time to open up, enjoy life and belong to something greater than yourself. This way you can relax and be ready to plan and start the new spiritual year in September.

Hint: You can learn the order of your own personal spiritual gifts of prophecy, clairvoyance, clairaudience and healing by ordering the Beginners Package for $37.50 USD, which includes a copy of Howard Wimer’s book called Inner Guidance and the Four Spiritual Gifts.

Write down your comments and what you are planning to do during the new spiritual year in the Comments Section below. We would love to hear about it!

The energy flowing through planet Earth this year is a very inspiring one – Launch. This can mean many things to many people, so to narrow in on what it means for you, take a look at all of the projects and desires you have been thinking about recently and you will find that you not only have the energy to do them, you have added inspiration as well.

2011 is a time to listen to your sensitivity. Never discount anything that comes to you in a positive light.

You will get ideas this year – ideas you may never have imagined before – about how to be of service to people. This means you will need to be focused on what is truly important in your life, because by doing so you will gain fulfillment you would not otherwise have experienced.

Remember to keep everything from being mundane or uninteresting this year. Now is the time to create, implement and have fun doing it!

How this energy affects you in your personal life: Launch what you want for yourself this year; trust that it will be good for everyone else around you. You are the most important person to yourself, and if you follow your true feelings and implement those inner desires (the ones you have had for a long time), you will realize everything is possible. 2011 is the time to get things done – not procrastinate. Act on your inspiration and be available when opportunities come your way. Your angels will give you chills when communicating with you closely, so do not discount anything — feelorganize, and act!

How this energy affects you in your business life: Whatever you have planned to do in your business life, 2011 is the time to do it. Do not hold back or you may feel as if specific business opportunities have passed you by. Remember, your service to others is what brings the total fulfillment you are seeking. Sitting on top of a mountain and meditating rather than putting your ideas into action is too intellectual. The balance of your thoughts and your feelings — so you do not become semi-intellectual (thinking too much) or unbalanced in your feelings (emotional) — will be very important this year. Likewise, it is important to have an understanding for every experience and an experience for every thought or theory you have about what you want to do.
