And so we begin together.

As I, Sophia, enter into this now, into this moment, into this body, into this space that we share together today.

This space has changed, grown, matured. This space has come quite a distance closer to the earth. Come so close as if gradually its treasures and all the abundance contained in it would come within reach. Within reach of you and all those who feel touched by the feminine energy.

***

Loved ones, we begin a New Year, a New Year that brings so much more clarity, such a different energy, such different conditions for each and every one of you. This New Year brings a purity that gives rise to especially the darkness, but also the light within all humans. If you look at the news you will notice: the darkness, the fear, the hatred, all the leftovers of duality and of the war between the masculine and the feminine energy are rising up one more time. Rising up one more time in anger and hostility, rising up one more time in order to say goodbye, in order to receive your permission to leave.

This New Year, 2009, in the sum of its digits is the year of two – and it comes in to offer you a new understanding of two. Not the old experience of two, when black and white fought each other, when masculine and feminine were in conflict with one another. But this new year of two is when one and one may stand next to one another in peace. When masculine and feminine may stand facing one another in peace - without fear, without hatred, without violence. It is a potential that is so close, closer than ever before.

Each one of you that feels this to be true is able to receive this potential during this New Year. You can take your time – the whole year and many more – you have many years lying in front of you in which to receive this new balance, this new meaning of two that will establish peace and stability. Within you there still remain battlefields, discord and desperation; and it is time now to receive this new kind of balance, this new peace for yourself.

You already know that it doesn’t take more than being still and surrendering. You know that you don’t have to do anything, you don’t have to struggle. You know it is time now to let go and allow your soul to hold you.

This year there is also something between your soul and you that wants to change. You see: up until now your soul and you have not been balanced. You have always gone back and forth. Sometimes your soul is the focus of your attention, sometimes your human self is given special emphasis. You have been going back and forth, from one side to the other like you are on a big swing. And I, Sophia invite you to feel today where you and your soul are now heading. You are moving into a new balance, a new equality between the two of you.

Can you stand in front of your soul without making yourself small, without making yourself less important, without making yourself less worthy? Can you stand in front of your soul without elevating your soul, without putting your soul on a pedestal, without being in fear? Can you allow yourself to look in the eyes of your soul and stand right next to her – equally beautiful, equally brave, equally as open as your soul is and always has been? Can you allow yourself to leave your hiding place, release the role you have been hiding behind and really stand next to your soul?

This is our new invitation for this year, an invitation for each and every one of you. Are you ready to really arrive within yourself - no longer hiding, no longer pretending - but really ready to take your place? And then watch how suddenly a new breath begins to flow, how a new creativity wants to stream in, how your life can blossom in a new way.

It won’t be because you struggle; it won’t be because you are a victim, not because you pretend. But it will be because you allow yourself to stand right next to your soul, to look her in the eyes and know that you are the same. So many differences and yet so much the same. You both come from the same source, the same breath, the same love. And if you stand next to one another and share this same breath flowing from your soul to you and from you to your soul, something new will be created in your life. Something new that has never been possible before. A new aspect, something completely new can be born now.

And this year while the call for equality, for peace will become louder than ever before, you will also observe in many, many places how the imbalance will also become more pronounced. You will observe humans feeling so worthless, making themselves so small. And you will also observe nations still engaged in war because they are not yet ready to take their place and receive the love that is there. They are in so much fear. Fear of not being loved. Fear that nothing will be there if they surrender and become soft. Such great fear that they would rather continue their wars and hurting each other than to stop and begin to listen. To listen to the invitation of love, to perceive the invitation of their soul.

This year you will observe that companies and initiatives won’t be successful if they don’t have a foundation of balance between the souls and the humans, between masculine and feminine. Anything coming from this inner peace, from this perfectly natural breath between you and your soul, will blossom so effortlessly, so easily as never before. And all those initiatives – also in your life – where you are not honest, where you have not really taken your place, where you make yourself small and put yourself beneath other humans or other’s ideas or even beneath your own soul - this year you will be invited to look at it again very closely. The invitation is here for you to take your place, to look in the eyes of your soul and to feel: this new balance is such a strong foundation for all of your creations, for all the new that wants to come in and is needed on this earth more than ever.

***

You are invited to take your place, to stand right next to your soul for the very first time. To let go of playing hide-and-seek-games that tell you that you are not good enough, that you are not ready yet. You are invited to stand right next to your soul because it is your rightful place.

And in the beginning you might wonder how you should stand next to that shining, that sparkling. You might wonder how you dare to stand right next to your soul, to be on the same level. You might also feel a little bit insecure about this new step. But then you will look in the eyes of your soul, receiving so much love, so much respect, so much compassion and you will recognize a new truth. You will see a new reflection in the eyes of your soul. A new reflection of you.

You are asked to no longer use a dirty mirror that prevents you from seeing your image clearly. You are asked to no longer believe that you are unworthy, that you are incomplete.

You are invited to believe, to believe in this new and gentle truth your soul wants to bring closer to you. And you are only able to see your new reflection if you look in the eyes of your soul. In the eyes of your soul where this pure love will show you as you really are. Show you as you really are. Your essence. The love you really are. Because the eyes of your soul don’t see the masks you wear or the roles you play. They see you as you really are. They see right through any mask, any role. They see you as you really are. Exactly as you are.

And for such a long time you believed that you are bad, you are inadequate, flawed, at fault, incomplete. For such a long time you believed all of that. For so long your life has been determined by that belief. How many of you are on the spiritual path only in search of salvation, because you believe that you are not good enough the way you are now? How many of you long to find some magic words that will make you complete, help you to finally breathe the right way, look and act the right way? How many of you are still having battles with yourself - these arguments with yourself, this imbalance within yourself? How long have you believed in this image of yourself? How long have you believed you are really bad, you really have to do something to change your life?

How many times have you just trusted – trusted that everything in your life makes sense – trusted that your body, exactly as it is today, is perfect? Your body is on its way. Your body is changing and the way it goes about it is perfect.

How many times have you allowed yourself to look in the eyes of your soul and see your true reflection? How many times have you seen how pure, how daring, how absolutely magnificent you really are? How many times have you allowed yourself to see this, to feel this? How many times have you stopped fighting with yourself and let yourself just be? Be as you are today. Including everything that belongs to you. Including everything that feels good and everything that doesn’t feel good. Including everything your mind judges right or wrong. How often do you let yourself just be? Just breathe softly. Just arrive into this new two. This new togetherness with your soul.

Only if you stand on the same level with your soul, only if you allow yourself to walk hand in hand with her; only then will a new friendship between the two of you be able to develop. Only then will a new understanding, a new bridge be built on this battlefield of separation. Only then will a new breath be able to flow.

I invite you to breathe this new breath. This new breath flows from your soul to you and from you to your soul. It flows continually and eternally between the two of you. A sign of peace, a sign of love, a sign of the new two that you may discover and get to know this year. Each one of you for yourself, each one of you in your own way.

You will notice that some humans won’t be very happy with the upheaval of energies addressed this year. Many humans will shut down and say: this is an awful time, a time of crisis, a time when nobody knows where to turn.

And there are others – and we invite you to be among these – who will find a new stability, a new confidence, a new inspiration in the silence and in the depth. You are invited to receive this gift from the New Year. And it can be one of your best years lying ahead of you. One of your most special years in which you will look back and say: “Oh, in that year I really came close to my soul. In that year I launched my first creations together with my soul and let them flow. In that year our friendship, a true friendship between me and my soul began.”

Other humans will look back on this year and only see the outer changes. They will only see the old ways disappearing and the last leftovers of duality surface once again from their hiding places and become clearly visible.

And so it is up to you. It is your choice which view you want to take, what voice you want to hear this year. And all of you who truly go into the silence, who are truly ready to begin a friendship with your own soul and a closer relationship with yourself – you are invited to choose carefully. Choose carefully the kind of energy you take into your life. Do you really have to watch the news every day while within you are on a completely different journey, on a totally different level? Do you really have to listen to humans venting their fear, their hatred and rage against themselves into the world? Do you really have to attend get-togethers and events you clearly feel are not good for you?

This year you are invited to choose even more. To be even clearer, even more self-centred. And to choose: what feels good for you? What is enjoyable and encouraging? What is assisting you on your way? Which humans, situations, books, films, classes, clothes and surroundings support you in nurturing this new peace that wants to awaken inside of you? And what are the things that hold you back, make you feel that you have to struggle, strain and pretend?
And even your unyielding mind tells you that you have to put up with it all, tolerate it all - even the darker side of life, that you have to listen to everyone, go everywhere, do everything expected from you... I, Sophia, invite you: look in the eyes of your soul and ask your soul if this is really true. Maybe your soul has a new energy, a new answer for you - new and more loving. Maybe your soul invites you during these times of turmoil to go to this silent retreat, this silent paradise within of you. To receive even more love for you. To let even more security flow into your life. More gentleness. More time for your enjoyment. More time for you.

***

You are invited to feel. Nature and earth herself, have changed their vibration. And this year they pour out such a gentle energy, such a healing, soothing energy like never before. Because nature and earth know: there is so much stress in so many humans, so much uncertainty, so much fear and doubt. And this loving breath of nature invites you to come to rest, invites you to rebalance, to find your centre again.

And so we invite you to spend more time with nature this year. Not to push yourself, not to make yourself get more exercise. But to take time for breathing in the love and the gentleness of nature. To let her flow deeply into your belly. Maybe even let her flow into your home. Into your body and feel: nature gives you a steady pulse of peace, confidence and trust.

This year we are going to speak in detail about nature’s new role and about the new relationship you can establish with her. The old ways of placing nature below you or above you are not appropriate anymore. I, Sophia, together with all those sharing my way, come in to entrust you with the task of establishing a new balance with nature. Nature has waited so eagerly to no longer be your victim or your enemy, but to walk together with you hand in hand. Into a new time of peace, into a new shared blossoming.

***

We would like to take a moment to talk about another topic. If you like, take a deep breath and just consciously feel for a moment that you are here. You are invited not to flow out of your body, but to stay present in this now moment. To feel your feet on the ground and to feel: you are here right now, you are truly present.

This beginning of the New Year that is shaking up so much in so many humans, that is shaking up the old structures, brings special challenges to a special group of humans. And these are the young ones, the ones that you call the youth. It is a great challenge for them to be on this earth right now. And it has been challenging for quite some time. But this year you will notice that it is especially difficult for the youth to keep their stability and their balance in a world changing so rapidly.

The reason for this is that the youth are in that special time of their life where they have nearly lost the childish trust of their soul, lost the stability, lost the love that they came from. And they look to the adults. They model themselves on the way that adults think, on the fear, on the coldness. And they see and feel how many adults have shut down right now. How the adults say “No” to all the new that flows in. How they hold onto the “good old days” and refuse the now moment. And that makes it very difficult for the youth who look to the adults for inspiration, for an example on how to handle their own life. The more fear there is in the adults and the more the adults deny and refuse their life, the more difficult it becomes for the youth to find their own way. To find the beauty, the love, the passion in their own lives.

And those of you involved with the youth, in your own families or in your work; you are invited to feel how many of the youth are especially stressed now, especially impatient and aggressive, especially subject to mood swings. And I, Sophia, invite all of you to feel, how they cry for help, how they don’t see a way out. They have an inner vitality wanting to reach out and grow, but there is no way. At least there is no way that they can see or understand or learn from those humans acting as their teachers and role models.

And I, Sophia, invite you, invite all of you with us today to take a moment to share a breath of love with the youth present on the earth during this age . Not to save them. Not because they are victims or a threat. But to stand next to them for a short moment. To share your love, your trust, your deep connection to your soul.

To those of you who want to start giving right away: stop for a moment. I didn’t invite you to give anything. I invited you to just be there. Let all your old aspects that want to give, that want to save, that want to help - let them come home to your own soul. And let yourself feel: there is a new way to share reassurance and love. Just by standing next to another. Not above another, not below another, but right next to them. And then simply enjoy your security, your inner stability and your wisdom. Enjoy your deep trust that something new is happening in your life, that new ways want to blossom in your life.

Just do that for a moment. Just stand right next to someone so out of balance, so unsure, in so much fear for a moment. Just for a moment be there with these youth without fear, without looking down on them – only seeing them as equal beings, as the beautiful beings they really are and it will make such a big difference. And occasionally you might agree to say “Yes” and share a moment, just a moment, with the youth who are already present in your life, or that you meet on the street, or that only you notice are there and don’t know how to go on.

For you see: the new children coming in now already know that there is a new way. Most children coming in have already felt that there is some kind of new energy on this earth. They have prepared to come to this earth. They have brought that deep trust, that great self-confidence along with them into this life. But the youth, the teenagers and the young adults, are in-between being a child knowing trust and being an adult and having to find a new way – they are in-between. In-between. And it is important and it is appropriate that we gave them some of our attention today and shared some of our time with them. Not to save them but only to be with them. They each have a loving soul within them. They each have wonderful potential within them. It is there within them even if they haven’t felt it yet, even if they don’t believe it yet.

***

We will discuss these potentials more this year – because for some of you it is time to feel these potentials and let them come into your reality. These potentials are like a parachute that you carry on your back. Up until now humans believed that they drop through their lives in a straight line from point A to B – and no matter what they do, they cannot alter their direction or their speed. The potential, the deepest potential that you carry within is like a parachute. And I, Sophia, invite you this year to pull the ripcord and to feel your parachute opening. Now you can determine where to go, now you can choose your speed and really discover what joy your life holds for you.

Many of you are still too serious about life. And I, Sophia, invite you to maintain your sense of humour this year. Laugh at yourself when things don’t work out as you expected, or when you step back into an old behaviour, or stumble onto an old fear. Step back for a moment and laugh at yourself. And realize: it’s okay. It’s okay not to be perfect. It’s okay to be human and laugh at yourself. The energy of Merlin accompanies us in this New Year. He invites you to hold onto your lightness and laughter - not to descend into suffering and fear and dark thoughts, but breathe softly again and again and look ahead and feel, really feel, how easy and graceful your way can be.

In the past when the Merlin energy was not yet understood, Merlin was called a magician. Indeed to the humans that were so immersed in their suffering and holding onto it so tightly, it seemed like magic that someone could deal so effortlessly and playfully with life and the challenges here on earth. Merlin manifested things so effortlessly and playfully and then he let them go again. Merlin expressed who he really was so effortlessly and playfully.

Merlin comes in to be with us and especially with those who still take life so seriously - still hold onto the old hardship, the old cruelty. Merlin invites you to discover that you are a magician also, that you are capable of experiencing ease in your life too. You don’t have to wait. It stands right in front of you at your door waiting to be received by you, waiting to be used by you. Merlin invites you to be supported by his energy that is such a good addition and fits in so well with everything we bring in here. That is so welcome in this space of the feminine energy.

***

And so we take a soft breath together. We shared a lot with you. We shared a preview of this New Year. You were given a taste of the new, of the new two, of the new way of being with your soul. Standing together with your soul like never before.

Yeshua also wanted to be a part of bringing in the new two as it has been so misunderstood and even abused by religious institutions. The church has held onto this old separation, to this old division where the spirit, the soul is elevated and the human part is deemed guilty and kept small.

And I, Sophia, together with Merlin, Mary Magdalene, and all the loved ones that join us; we invite you to allow yourself to walk side by side with your soul this year. Hand in hand. To be equals within yourself. This is the only way for the new abundance and creativity to stream into your life. This is the only way for your new creations to become established and flourish. This is the only way for the new energy to really flow. We place special emphasis on this.

And so with this invitation, with this energy, we bring our gathering to a close today. We invite you to feel that Merlin will accompany you whenever you want him to. Mary Magdalene also comes in and will accompany you with her special energy, with her special wisdom. And I, Sophia, will accompany you in my own way.

It is a time of miracles. A time for the new to become more visible than ever before. And a challenging time for the many humans who hold onto their fear so tightly that they cannot see the new. That is another reason to be loving with yourself – to give yourself a lot of time to be alone and to be in nature, for this will support you to receive the new.

And so we begin together.

About channeling:
Channeling is about receiving energy. It is an invitation for you, dear reader, to open for more of yourself and become more conscious. As you read this text you are most welcome to decide for yourself what feels right for you and what doesn’t. There is no such thing as an absolute truth that is valid for everyone. There are many truths and you may choose the one that resonates with you today. On your path of spiritual awakening this may indeed change. Sophia’s extends her love and support if you wish to receive it, right where you are in this moment - you don’t have to do a thing in return.

About Sophia:
Sophia is a feminine energy supporting the awakening and evolution of humanity with her understanding and wisdom. Her messages are simple and profound. Lea Hamann has been working for some time in her personal and professional life with Sophia’s energy. In 2007 Lea started to channel Sophia publicly. Sophia has accompanied us since then in monthly channels called the Sophia-Series. She assists us in rediscovering the feminine energy of our soul.
Feminine energy doesn’t necessarily mean being female. Both men and women have a feminine part of their soul. This feminine principle helps us to receive abundance, to develop our creations and to live our life in deep trust. In today’s world most humans have a tendency to be imbalanced as they rely much more on their masculine energy. Sophia has emphasized many times how important it is to be connected to the feminine energy in order to enjoy a loving and balanced life.
The monthly channels of the Sophia-Series are available free of charge on the website www.eelea.de You are invited to let yourself be touched by Sophia’s love.
