Word-of-the-Year 2012: Connect

If you’d like a breakdown of my 2011 word “strength”, please see this post and a longer version of my 2012 choice can be found here. However, here’s is a rough breakdown for those interested in the odd reference I will likely make to my books and knowledge.

I’m looking to connect with:-

My space; through minimalism and through meditation

My spirit; of the land and of my heritage

My emotions; of compassion and inner peace

My potential; integrating knowledge and practice.

Therefore posts of emotions, meditation, reiki, shivanata and knowledge may be mentioned here in relation to these foci.

Happy Holidays
