2023 Year-End Reflections and Review

As we draw near to the end of this expansive year at VHD School, it's time to look back and reflect on the transformative journey we've embraced.

As we reflect on the themes and lessons of the past year at VHD School, we see a common thread of personal transformation, spiritual growth, and soul empowerment and expansion. From grounding ourselves, consciously shifting patterns, embodying our true and higher identity, flowing with divine flow, and restoring our energy, these key themes all play a vital role in our spiritual journey and divine alignment.

As we approach the year's end and enter a new beginning, let us carry the wisdom we’ve gained with us into the future; may it continue to nourish our souls as we embrace the ever-evolving transformative power within us.

This review will help to embrace the themes' interconnectedness and their profound impact on your personal growth and spiritual journey at VHD School. We'll revisit the key themes from January to December, reviewing the growth, learning, and expansion we've experienced individually and as a community.



Let’s Begin

VHD Reflection Questions & Journal Prompts

1. Beginning in January, we set the tone for the year with grounding, anchoring, and equanimity.

How have the themes of grounding, anchoring, and equanimity helped you establish a solid foundation for your personal development, spiritual growth, healing, and empowerment journey? What grounding and anchoring practices or techniques have resonated with you and helped you the most?

What did you discover about yourself through the exploration of equanimity? How did this understanding influence your approach to life, communication, challenges, and uncertainties?

Journal Prompt: Reflect on a specific moment when you felt grounded and anchored on your path in 2023. Describe the sensations, emotions, and any realizations and positive manifestations and outcomes that came with it as a result.

Recall a time when you deliberately journeyed in equanimity versus reactivity. How did approaching the situation with calmness and balance, instead of reacting impulsively improve your embodiment and physical, vibrational, and emotional state? How can you expand and incorporate this practice into the new year?

2. In February, we focused on aligning with our higher selves.

How has this higher alignment with self positively influenced my daily life and interactions with others? Have there been any challenges or resistance along the way? How have you experienced transformation through higher-self awareness and alignment?

Journal Prompt: Explore a recent situation where you felt in alignment with your higher self. How did it manifest in your thoughts, words, and actions? What lessons or takeaways did you learn from this experience?

3. March brought the theme of soul maturity and awakening into new possibilities.

How have these concepts impacted my perspective and understanding of myself as a soul and the world around me?

Journal Prompt: Write about a moment of soul maturation or awakening that has been pivotal for you. In what ways has your soul expanded to new heights? What new insights, understanding, or realizations did you gain? How have you integrated this wisdom into your life and your way of being in the world and seeing in the world?

4. As we entered the spring season in April, we explored creativity as healing medicine and deepening into our purpose.

How has this exploration nurtured my spiritual growth? Have I discovered new forms of creative expression and/or found clarity in my life purpose?

Journal Prompt: Reflect on a creative endeavor or project that has brought you joy, a sense of purpose, excitement, euphoria, divine flow, and inner freedom. How has it contributed to your overall spiritual well-being and growth? How has it contributed to your personal development, expansion, and the healing of any areas of creative, spiritual, or energetic stagnation?


5. In May, we focused on acceleration energy and unlocking new levels.

How have I embraced this energy in my own journey? What breakthroughs or transformations have I experienced as a result?

Journal Prompt: Describe a specific moment of acceleration or breakthrough that you have encountered this year. How did it push your boundaries, create momentum, and expand your perception of what is possible for you?


6. June marked a time of completion and shift.

How have I navigated this transition and embraced the changes that have come my way? Have I released any old patterns, beliefs, or relationships in order to make space for new shifts and beginnings?

Journal Prompt: Write about a significant shift or completion you experienced this year. How have you honored the ending while staying open to what lies ahead?


7. With summer in flow, in July we delved into becoming our highest embodied selves.

How do I embody this spiritual principle in my daily life? What practices have supported me in aligning with my highest potential and highest embodied self?

Journal Prompt: Reflect on a moment when you felt fully connected to your highest embodied self. How did it influence your thoughts, actions, and relationships? How can you continue cultivating this sense of higher alignment in order to overcome any ‘lower self’ embodiment energy that may show up to block you, stop you, devolve you, and hold you back?


8. August invited us to embrace our expanding path.

How have I embraced growth and change on my spiritual path and personal development journey? What fears, challenges, or resistance have I encountered, and how did I overcome them?

Journal Prompt: Write about a time when you stepped outside of your comfort zone and embraced the unknown. What lessons did you learn from this experience? How has it shaped your perspective on personal and spiritual growth?


9. September brought the theme of conscious pattern shifting.

How have I become more aware of my patterns and beliefs? What tools or techniques have assisted me in shifting old patterns and creating new ones?

Journal Prompt: Explore a pattern or belief that you consciously shifted. How did you bring awareness to it, and what steps did you take to create a new pattern? How has this shift impacted and expanded you and your life?


10. In October, we focused on restoring our true identity.

Reflecting on the theme of restoration, how did you explore and reconnect with your true identity this year? In what areas?

What practices or experiences helped you uncover and rediscover aspects of yourself that may have been dormant or forgotten?

Journal Prompt: How has restoring my true identity enriched my spiritual journey? Have I noticed any shifts in my perception of self, higher purpose, and overall embodiment? Take a moment to write about a specific experience or realization that brought you closer to your true authentic self during the year. How do you plan to carry this sense of higher and truer self-awareness and authenticity into the coming year? How will you incorporate your true identity into your life, work, and relationships?


11. November invited us to surrender to the divine flowing path.

How have you practiced surrendering to the divine flow of life and trusting in divine timing, flow, and alignment?

How did the theme of surrender show up in your life this year?

Journal Prompt: Reflect on any moments of resistance and how surrendering to the flow ultimately brought relief and ease. In what ways did you release control and allow divine flow to guide your path? Bring to mind a situation in which you consciously chose to surrender to the divine flowing path. How did it feel to let go of control and surrender to the greater plan? What lessons did you learn about trust and surrender? Consider any insights or guidance you received during this process. How has it affected your trust in the unfolding of life? What has been the impact on your sense of peace and alignment? In which ways are you called to further let go of control and allow the divine flow to guide you onward into 2024 and beyond?


12. And December, December encouraged us to embody restoration and conservation of energy.

Did you embody the principles of restoration and conservation of energy during December?

Reflect on the actions you can take to prepare for deeper growth, output, and renewal in the coming year.

In what ways can you prioritize recharging your spirit and conserving your energy? Where\how did you do less?

Think about specific experiences, signs, signals, or encounters that reinforce the need and importance of conserving energy and preparing for new beginnings. How does this awareness impact your outlook for the upcoming year?

Journal Prompt: Share an experience from this year where you consciously prioritized restoration and doing less. How did this decision enhance your connection to self and prepare you for the abundant possibilities ahead?

2023 Themes WE Explored


January

Ground and Anchoring

|Class|

Starting the year with intention and purpose is crucial for not going through the motions while on auto-pilot but accessing the support, insights, and power specific to our unique journey. This is a gentle yet empowering guided walkthrough of grounding and anchoring tools.

The Essentials of Equanimity

|Practice|

Equanimity is a way to develop ourselves and rest in inner peace. Without it, we can be easily affected by emotions, outside circumstances, and other people’s energy and react without thinking. Learn how to incorporate equanimity into your life, mindset, and embodiment, and experience its transformative spiritual power.

Moving Into a New Process

|Class|

This VHD class introduces us to moving beyond the known into the unknown. Whether nudged to a new direction or seeking growth, this class offers steps for successful transitions. Throughout this class, we explore energetic tools for critical thinking and problem-solving. These skills inside the class are essential for success and for expanding our boundaries within ourselves and in the world.

February

March

Maturation: Soul Maturity

|Class|

The path to deepening your spiritual journey through inviting new levels of soul maturity. Learn how to open your heart, activate your higher knowing, and cultivate deep self-trust for inner guidance on the continual path of awakening. Soul maturity is essential to our soul's evolution. At times, the soul can remain stagnant in its current state and trapped in certain timelines and relationships. Our deeper sense of connection, belonging, insight, and purpose can also become jeopardized, fragmented, out of balance, and warped when we're unable to access our higher levels of ascension and being. 

Maturation is a spiritual evolution. It changes the way we think, live, see, exist, and embody this life. 

Waking Up and Expanding: From The Old World and Timeline

|Class|

For over a decade, as a direct reflection of my healing, spiritual, and empowerment journey, I've lived and embodied an awakened, transformed, and empowered life. With deep passion and love, I'll guide you on how you too can wake up and expand from the old world and timeline into new higher ones. Old timelines do not have to trap you, block you, or hinder you from achieving your higher goals. They don’t have to win. Explore how to find liberation, rest, solace, freedom, renewed power, energy, purpose, peace, and direction.


April

Creativity as Medicine and Guidance

|Class|

Creativity is one of the most incredible healing tools. We can access a deeper source of wisdom, flow, expression, and guidance through creative energy. Living and operating in this magnetic state of awareness shifts, transforms, evolves, and expands us.

New Levels Unlocked + Unblocked

|Class|

Unveiling our higher potential allows us to discover new vibrations of life, knowledge, clarity, manifestation, personal power, and self. The power of higher potential energy can break up stagnation or remove obstacles standing in our way.

Allow What's Dissolving

Restoration of Your True Identity

In the midst of life's complexities, experiences, challenges, and many timelines, it can be easy to lose sight of who we truly are. Are you spending daily energy on a life that’s inauthentic to who you truly are? Are you feeling held back and disconnected from your true self? Restoration of Your True Identity invites you on a powerful journey of authentic restoration and reclamation.
