Happy New Year!Well, the new year is off to an eventful start. The apocalypse (uncovering, disclosure, revelation) will continue in 2024. That means your external world will be chaotic and unstable. And if you focus on it, your internal world also becomes chaotic and unstable.The most important thing for us to remember as we go through this year is to bring our energy back from the external world into our internal world and raise its frequency. Now, this takes work. It is a moment by moment practice. And one of the most powerful and potent ways to raise your own frequency that I know is through meditation!Ways to connect with Masako:Let's meditate together on InsightTimer!Why not meditate?
