Nourishing Body, Mind and Spirit

A year of balance, ease and joy

My intention for the year 2012 (and beyond) is to experience
balance, ease and joy.

For myself. For my family. For you. For your family. For all of us.

I played The Wish Game with this intention a couple of days ago with some dear friends.

During The Wish Game, you are guided to choose cards from various decks and the cards that you choose are messages from Spirit about your wish.

During the game, one of cards that I chose said, “You are blocking your wish. What are you anxious about?”

I spoke of how I have this underlying anxiety that runs constantly, an anxiety about Moses’ health, that it might take a turn at any moment. It’s like a computer program that’s constantly running in the background, draining my energy.

I spoke about how I wanted to let go of this anxiety, to release it, since this anxiety doesn’t serve or help Moses or me.

I asked for Spirit to release me from this anxiety. So be it. And it is so, and so it is.

During the game, my friends reflected back their own intuition / messages that they received.

One shared that she felt that somehow Moses and I were orchestrating this dance and that my anxiety was feeding Moses’ episodes of illness, which was feeding my anxiety — a vicious cycle.

Another shared that she experiences the love of our family (the three of us) like a huge waterfall, the size of Niagara Falls — big, tremendous, powerful. So much love.


And the other gently reminded me that our children are not our own. That Moses is on his own soul’s journey.

As Kahlil Gibran says in The Prophet:

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they do not belong to you.

You may give them your love, but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

Other messages came up for me during the game. Messages like, “We are all One”, which is a reminder that we are all connected. And me wishing for balance, ease and joy also helps everyone else around the world come into balance, ease and joy. For we are all connected. We are all One.

One of my friends shared that I often help her to feel balance, ease and joy in her life. And I remarked that I feel like my life purpose, through teaching yoga and through energy healing, is to help others experience ease and joy in their own lives.

And so dear friends, I am wishing for us all, a year of balance, ease and joy — for my family and for yours. For us all.

I feel that the universe is calling us strongly home to our heart space, and if we remain in that space, we will be in balance, ease and joy. Our heart is calling us home.

  1. Hi Janice, I love this wish game. I hope your wish comes true. This anxiety we all feel for our children, sensitive or no, is so primal, and can take over our lives. I love the Gibran poem too because it reminds us their lives are part of a larger cycle and their own, not only ours. It helps me in letting go of my anxieties. Such great work you are doing and sharing here too, good luck with it in 2012. XOXO – Lisa (mommy Mystic)

  2. Lisa: Thanks so much for visiting me here and sharing your thoughts. A good reminder for me too that all parents can feel this same anxiety, and how it is a primal emotion. Many blessings to you and yours in 2012.

  3. Oh, I just saw this post now. How lovely that we both posted the Gibran poem this month.

    I love the sound of the wish game — I’m struck by the wonderful richness of sharing.
