We’ve reached the end of another year – which means it’s time for the NEW Sigil for the Year. Rather than setting a New Year’s resolution, I prefer to set the tone for the coming year with a sigil.

Inner Journey:
A HOT TUB FOR THE MIND
“Imagine a hot tub for the mind. That is what meditation is; it can bathe your mind in relaxing thoughts.”
— Eknath Easwaran
With today’s fast pace of life, too many of us don’t have any sense of how it feels to be free of stress. It’s difficult to relax if we have physical pain or irritation, strong negative emotions or scattered, worrisome thoughts.
The practice of meditation helps us find the peace within that is so elusive in our outer world.
“Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths, or the turning inwards in prayer for five short minutes.”

A Note from the Universe
I want you to know, that I’ve ordered up another year for you.
Think I’ll call it 2023.
I’m going to put most of the same people from 2022 in it, since you all think so much alike. But there’ll also be a few new, very cool cats coming to play—give them some time to grow up though.
And I’m going to have things start off pretty much exactly where they left off in 2022, for continuity’s sake. Flips folks out too much when I don’t.
All in all, 365 more days in paradise… and only one request of you:
DREAM BIGGER.
Coolio?
Let’s do this,

Daily Tarot: Death
Though no great demands may be made of you today, you may feel lackluster and just not setting the world on fire as you like to do. Everybody has a low energy day from time to time. Perhaps you’ve been pushing it too hard for too many days in a row and just need a short break. Don’t be lazy but be extra good to yourself. Tomorrow will be brighter.
