Mini Energy Update for the Week of January 8 - 15, 2025: Starting the Year with Courage and Patience | Ep 588
As we step into the early weeks of the new year, we are still in a phase of recalibration, a continuation of December's themes of closure and reflection. This is a time for investigating where and how we spend our time and energy. Energetically, the start of this year can feel unhurried, emphasizing the importance of allowing ideas to percolate and ripen before anchoring them as concrete intentions and goals. The first part of this month encourages us to create space for this percolation, finding the courage to balance holding back for right timing with moving forward when the green light appears.
Cultivating Courage for Transformation
Courage is the key energy of the moment. It allows us to cut through fear and resistance, empowering us to move toward—or away from—a situation, intention, action, habit, or pattern. Courage challenges us to face hard truths, make necessary choices, and commit to those decisions, even when they may lead to discomfort, disappointment, or difficult consequences. It is the force that keeps us disciplined and helps us release what no longer serves us while stepping boldly into the unknown.
Without courage, we risk falling into cowardice, an energy driven by fear. Cowardice manifests as anxiety, lethargy, stagnation, self-judgment, and negativity. This week—and this month—invite us to build and use courage as we navigate the opportunities and challenges that come with the new year.
Building Courage, One Step at a Time
Courage, like a muscle, needs to be cultivated and strengthened through consistent practice. Start small and build gradually, challenging yourself to lean into discomfort while trusting the process.
Here are some areas where courage may be needed this week:
• Facing hard truths: Acknowledge what needs to change or be addressed in your life.
• Making and committing to difficult decisions: Choose what aligns with your highest good, even if it’s uncomfortable.
• Stepping out of your comfort zone: Begin something new that excites and challenges you.
• Releasing attachments: Let go of relationships, habits, or patterns that are no longer beneficial.
• Taking responsibility: Own your health, well-being, and personal growth.
• Changing negative patterns: Break free from self-sabotaging cycles and habits.
• Trusting divine timing: Exercise patience and faith in the right path unfolding.
This is a pivotal time to stay proactive, present, and aware. By accessing courage, we can embrace new opportunities, bring closure to what is complete, and eliminate what is no longer useful. Courage enables us to face the year with clarity, resilience, and a deeper sense of purpose.
A Personal Reflection: Navigating Courage and Rest
Currently, I am navigating the challenge of being evacuated due to fires in Los Angeles, CA. This experience has deeply reinforced the relevance of the "Rest and Replenish" theme. Even in uncertainty, I’ve found it essential to pause and ground myself through intentional practices like breathwork and journaling. Connecting with loved ones for support and taking small actions to nurture emotional resilience have been key.
This experience has reminded me that rest doesn’t have to be grand. It can be as simple as a deep breath, a comforting word, or creating a moment of stillness in the chaos. If you’re facing unexpected challenges, these micro-moments of rest can serve as anchors, helping you feel more centered and resilient.
The Cancer Full Moon: Recalibration and Emotional Clearing
On Monday, January 13. This moon invites us to reflect on home, family, and the environments that shape our comfort and habitual behaviors. Pay attention to the lessons surfacing in these areas, especially those related to family imprints or dynamics that may no longer serve you. This is an opportunity to align with new, supportive patterns that help you cultivate personal balance and direct your energy more intentionally.
Much love, care, and gratitude,
Henri
