Love, your neighbor as yourself. No other commandment is greater than these – Mark 12:31
I was in a group meeting some time last year when I found myself being completely triggered by what some one was saying. Immediately my ego flared up into judgment mode about this particular individual in the group. I was labeling them as insecure, having an agenda etc. Just to quote mildly. My mind rose with my own self defense mechanisms of intellectualizing – justifying my feelings.

Why is it so easy to hold a grudge?
When you’re hurt by someone you love and trust, you might become angry, sad or confused. If you dwell on hurtful events or situations grudges filled with resentment, vengeance and hostility can take root.

It also includes looking forward to the next 12 months with great anticipation, desire and intention setting. This process is much different than goal setting and making a resolution.
For some of us this review, release and renew period is something done alone and for others it begin in a spiritual community with meditation, visioning, prayer, music, silence and the creation of their personal vision board. Personally I find this activity powerful as people come together and the collective consciousness ushers in individual revelations as the group engages in visioning for their 2012 life & beyond.
