A MESSAGE From Dr. Natalia Rose Schotte 2016: The Year of StronG Statements Kuan Yin statue in the Spiritual Center at La Vie de la Rose Kuan Yin, known as the bodhisattva of compassion, is often depicted atop a dragon, an ancient symbol for strength, wisdom, and the Divine powers of transformation. The Year of Expansive Opportunities Ends
Dear Friends, I am writing this email from China where I am participating as faculty in the inauguration of a new spiritual college. From January 1st to 5th, I am on a panel entitled New Earth, New Time, New Human, another panel on Zen and Enlightenment, and am facilitating a workshop on Female Healing and Energy Awakening. During my time here, I will launch a new flower essence set, The Trauma Recovery Solutions. It is a Divine Response to the extreme trauma people here and around the world have experienced. This is an indication of how 2015: The Year of Expansive Opportunities unfolded in my life. Take time as the New Year begins to reflect on what Expansive Opportunities blessed your life over the past year. Remember, expansion sometimes comes in the form of adversity and challenge, and always brings us to a new level of life. The Year of Strong Statements Begins Ganesh statue in the Spiritual Center at La Vie de la Rose Ganesh is known as the Lord of Good Fortune and the Destroyer of Obstacles. He represents perfected equilibrium between force and kindness and between power and beauty.
A STRONG STATEMENT is a demonstrable display of your authentic feelings and inner truth. This year we are putting subtle expression aside. We are moving beyond communicating our important personal and collective messages with words. This is a year of ACTION. The actions we take will be both impulsive and strategically planned. We are having increasing difficulty tolerating incongruence between our inner Selves and outer expressions. When we are dissatisfied, we will be compelled, by our Souls, to change things. There will be endings. There will be beginnings. There will be refusals to do what is expected. There will be agreements to do the unexpected. Mahakala mask in the Spiritual Center at La Vie de la Rose Mahakala is known as the fierce and powerful emanation of Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion, who defends the Dharma. We are coming into INTEGRITY with our Selves and we are doing so in POWERFUL ways. All aspects of our lives will be affected by the strong energy we will express this year. As we are individually so powerfully affected and moved, we will collectively create STRONG STATEMENTS to catalyze desired social change.
Kuan Yin statue in the Spiritual Center at La Vie de la Rose Be Aware of Resistance If we resist compelling action, due to antiquated patterns of people-pleasing and fear of standing in our power, the suppressed energy will create physical symptoms. Your body will be your ally in alerting you to when you have subverted the impulses of the Soul.
The Unfoldment of the New Year As you make STRONG STATEMENTS that reflect your authentic feelings and inner truth, you will grow in AUTHENTIC POWER. A new level of order will prevail in your life. New energy will be released as the stagnation of outdated relationships, situations, etc. is overcome. You will feel a new sense of LIBERATION. As always, the more Inner Work you do, the more graceful your outer shifts will be. The New Year is a good time to recommit to your Self and your Spiritual Growth. New Time is the time for Spiritual Healing, which will birth a New You, and together all of our newly emerging Selves will birth the New Earth a Sanctuary for the Soul.
