This is one of the simplest, easiest tools for giving yourself or another person love and forgiveness. Four short phrases that you can use in limitless ways such as a mantra, prayer, journaling, affirmation, sing it...
There are many versions of Ho'oponopono songs out there, this beat box version is my favorite -  http://youtu.be/a7BScD7xgsI
You can find it on iTunes too - search for The Ho'oponopono Song.

If this is brand new to you, open your mind and be willing to try it.

I Love You, I'm Sorry, Please Forgive Me, Thank You

Enjoy!

Here is a great and simple tool for boosting your mood and energy - a rebounder. I got a second hand one a couple of years ago from a yard sale to make sure I'd use it. After I used it so much the fabric began to tear I bought a new one and I use it almost daily. This is the brand I went with and its been great - Urban Rebounder Folding Trampoline Workout System

Be willing to try something ridiculous every day. Jump, bounce, yell and make goofy faces. There is so much freedom, joy and fun to be found when you let go of what others (or even yourself) might say.

Enjoy!

1. Start with a 10 - 15 minute meditation in which you set your attention on releasing the old and opening to the new.
2. On a piece of paper, hand write a list of all the things in 2011 that you'd like to let go of.  This can include old patterns
   that don't serve you, grudges or resentments you're hanging on to, fears that hold you back, or circumstances that you'd like to change. It can also include not-useful habits such as eating too much sugar or not exercising.  Make sure your list is as complete as possible with everything that didn't work for you in 2011.  My list is usually a few pages.
3. If it's easy for you to burn the list, then you can do that.  If not, you can tear the list up in many pieces.  As you release
   this list, imagine letting go of the energies that are represented on your list.
4. Now, on to creation.  Make a list of all that you wish to create for yourself in 2012.  Include the habits you'd like to
   embrace, the external circumstances you'd like to create, and the internal experiences you'd like to have (joy, freedom, ease, love, peace, acceptance of all that is, etc).  Be as specific as possible.
5. Read the list aloud (whether you're alone or with others).  Speaking it out adds more energy to it. Feel each item as though
   it's actually happened.
6. Put the list in a special place, as a symbolic offering for your coming year.

Notice how you feel after doing this ritual.  Perhaps lighter, renewed, and excited about what lies ahead for you.  Share your experience with others.

Wishing you a happy, healthy and loving 2012.
