Last weekend\u2019s annual New Year\u2019s Resolution Spa Morning on January 2 was no exception.<\/p>\n<p>Facilitated by John Morton and emceed by Leigh Taylor-Young Morton, the annual workshop was attended by a full house with many more watching online around the world. After calling in the Light and showing two John-Roger video excerpts, John came up and referred to the conditionality of this world, asking, \u201cwhere do you exist within that?\u201d How can we let go and release prior conditions at the end of one cycle while moving forward to the next in the New Year, without looking back, thus creating more karma?<\/p>\n<p>As usual, attendees were supplied with journals that included inspirational quotes from John, definitions and questions, a New Year\u2019s blessing, and blank writing pages. John emphasized the power of journaling to anchor whatever you wish to manifest in your life, citing a recent poll that strongly suggested people who write down what they want to accomplish tend to succeed far beyond those who don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Claiming \u201cThe best is yet to come\u2026and it\u2019s only getting better,\u201d John guided participants to consider their Resolution, Commitment, Dedication, Devotion, Consecration and Celebration for 2016. Those attending in person then shared \u201cWhat is Your Celebration?\u201d in small groups of four before receiving a closing blessing for 2016 from John, walking the Labyrinth and enjoying a delicious brunch.<\/p>\n<p>As John said (paraphrased), \u201cYour celebration is everyone else\u2019s celebration\u2026and God\u2019s.\u201d In that spirit, following are a few of the celebrations that participants shared after the workshop, in answer to \u201cWhat is Your Resolution or Celebration for 2016?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be authentic and Loving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing alive and becoming more spiritually aware.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFreedom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo have the best relationship with a man EVER!!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHealing and applying the Loving to the place inside that hurts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExpressing Loving more freely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo continue growing in the Light, bringing forward beautiful music.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough private, I can share that my resolutions were very charged from the energy that was present today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRebirth and revitalization of my life, starting 2016 over with a clean slate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLiving in the celebration of God\u2019s Loving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo stay centered and aligned with myself.
