Dear Friends,
 
Technology is always a surprise and a challenge and a huge gift if you understand all the nooks and crannies.

I had the mandala set as "private"! which means I could check the link and it would be correct, but for you it was an "error." 

I have made the link PUBLIC so you can now click it and you will get to the page. Just go below to the link and click.

Mystery solved!

Thanks for your patience.  The Mandala really does make recording your inner year a very grounding and profound experience.

All my Advent blessings for the past and future year.
Lynn

THE INNER YEAR MANDALA

The Mandala is 24" X24" but can be ordered in other sizes.  Put it up on a wall and use it to record your inner life of thoughts, feelings, and deeds.I use different colored stickies for each soul functions.  I love it as it reminds me that I am inwardly evolving! I ask myself did I think a thought worth noting...feel a feeling...or do a deed.  

Working with the Inner Year Mandala inspired me to write this Advent verse. I offer it to you as an inspiration for your Inner Advent work.  The course I offer below, supports you in finding your answers to the questions in the verse.

Oh My Dear Soul,
Let me gather up my inner year.
Let me celebrate the moments of growth and wisdom.

Did my thoughts glean truth?
Did my feelings shine with beauty?
Did my deeds warm the world?

Did I find
love
and freedom
awake and active
as I suffered with 
the challenges of becoming?
The Practice of Inner Advent

Advent Begins This Sunday

November 30


Inner Advent is an embrace, a conscious embrace, of your unfolding life. It’s a responsibility to your self, maybe even a spiritual or moral duty to yourself. We are different from animals in that we have the moral ability to be self-conscious and self-creative. We are not just about drives for survival or desires for being happy, we are about freedom and growth.

Freedom comes from knowing yourself. Self-knowledge is a spiritual practice.  Rudolf Steiner teachings guide me to a right relationship to my self.  He writes in his book, How To Know Higher Worlds, “You can only sacrifice that which you have fully possessed.” Self-knowledge is self-possession. Possess your year so you can let it go.

Know what your inner year. Know how you emotionally experienced the year.  Know how you grew and evolved over the year.

Know your year to know your self!

Possess your year so you can let the stories go and find the meaning, the sacrifice of your 365 days, your 29000 breaths, your efforts and struggles, your dreams, your joys, your sorrows.

How do you begin to do this? How do you organize your recollection of the year? How do you analyze what happened? How do you intuit the meaning? What are the questions that will lead to the insights, the self-knowledge, to a new you, a wiser you, a freer you?

I designed the Inner Advent course to help you find deeper meaning in your year.  To support you in this powerful season.

I want Inner Advent to be a relaxed and aware experience for you. I will guide the process, but you will do the work.  No one can do it but you. This is the gift you give your Self.


Here are  two comments from Inner Advent participants:

Lynn, thank you so much for this. this audio content is as a vessel through which flows profound healing; it encourages me in an inviting way to live the processes of releasing the inner year gently and with love. I am so thankful for the way in which even small steps, beginning gestures - whatever had been possible - are actually far-reaching in effect... The work of celebrating, mourning, attending to regrets and awakening self-forgiveness are described so beautifully. I also cherish the inclusion of the shadow in a 'just right' way - in an honouring way. Lynn that you have deeply meditated and pondered on anthroposophical insight such that it bears fruit in this way moves me and awakens wonder and thankfulness. It is living. It is as grace. It enables my inner process. Anne D.


I've learned through this process that what happens in my "outer world" or contexts is important and is fun to reflect on but that the rich stuff is what's been going on in "the deeds" or my inner world :) I'm really enjoying creating my mandala. I too am using photoshop for the work. I love this class Lynn! It's excellent!! Melissa M

The NEW Imagine Self Website

For the last three years, I have had a beautiful, content rich website that did not function to serve you or me.  I've been busy creating curriculums and courses for the essential task of finding, knowing and becoming yourself, but the website which should be a map leading you to all the support and inspiration for this work has failed to provide a workable guide.  

This is changing, transforming, blossoming!  A new website is in the works. I'm very excited.  


And I am creating The Store of Self-Imagining to offer you products to support your life of self.  One very special, utterly yours, product will wrap you up in a portrait of your cosmic possibility.  
Appreciate...Encourage...Support
