“When I dare to be powerful—to use my strength in the service of my vision—then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.” Audre lorde
Throughout my decade as a therapist, grief counsellor, and yoga teacher, a recurring truth emerges as we age: we often drift away from our authentic selves, conforming to societal norms or others' expectations.
The path to rediscovering our genuine aspirations involves shedding societal layers and peeling back influences that obscure our true essence.
At times, we awaken to find ourselves in unexpected places or feeling differently than anticipated. This awakening can spark a quest for understanding, a journey inward to explore and embrace our true Self.
Welcome to the Year of Strength
The numerology of 2024 is 8 - the year of Strength. In numerology, the number 8 embodies the essence of strength, power, and balance. Known as the year of strength, the influence of the number 8 brings forth a period of significant transformation and empowerment. It symbolizes both material and spiritual abundance, emphasizing the importance of resilience, determination, and inner fortitude.
In the year marked by the number 8, individuals are encouraged to tap into their inner strength, make bold decisions, and manifest their aspirations. It signifies a time ripe for achieving goals, mastering challenges, and fostering stability in various aspects of life. The energy of the number 8 serves as a guiding force, urging us to embrace our potential and cultivate a harmonious equilibrium between ambition and spiritual fulfillment.
