The Sacred Pause
Birth of the Year 2026
For the ones who feel the tremor at the turn of the year and know, in their bones, that this time cannot be crossed on autopilot.
For the ones who are no longer willing to leave their own hearts behind while they push into a "fresh start."
Let 2026 be conceived in devotion—the creative current of your life—rather than driven by stress.
Many of us have entered January numbed out, rushing, or already exhausted. Here, you choose to cross awake—letting devotion, not adrenaline, lead the way.
Yes, I'm Entering This Sacred Pause âť‚Why This Threshold Matters
What isn't consciously completed continues beneath awareness.
Unintegrated experiences don't vanish—they shape patterns, reactions, and choices moving forward.
A calendar shift doesn't create renewal—presence, honesty, and devotion do.
This isn't just another end-of-year ritual. It's a devotional rite of passage—one that shapes how you close, how you pause, how you begin, and how you cross every threshold that follows.
A 13-Day Rite of Passage
Every true initiation has three movements: separation, threshold, and return. The Sacred Pause honors this ancient arc.
Phase One
The Closing
December 19 – 24
Gather your energy home. Walk through each month of 2025 with The Devotional Inventory—reviewing, witnessing, releasing, forgiving. This is the conscious completion that allows you to truly leave the year behind.
Phase Two
The Sacred Pause
December 24 – 26 · The Still Point
A pause is not inactivity—it is interruption. It is stepping out of noise, urgency, expectations, identities, roles, and momentum long enough to hear the deeper truth. A sacred pause is the quiet space between breaths—where the nervous system softens, the heart becomes honest, and the soul shows you what is real.
It is unplugging from the world so you can reconnect to yourself.
It is here that devotion begins to move.
Phase Three
The Becoming
December 26 – January 1
Tend the Divine Child that was born in the pause. Plant sacred seeds for 2026—not goals born from pressure, but aligned intentions rising from devotion. Cross the threshold consciously, stepping into the new year from alignment rather than performance.
Place one hand on your heart and take one unhurried breath.
With your inner voice, whisper:
"Show me how my devotion wants to move in 2026."
Walk Into 2026 With...
When you honor all three movements—closing, pausing, becoming—the magnetic force of your devotion alchemizes with what is truly ready to be born.
A Clear, Honest Heart
Release the weight of 2025 with intention. Name what's done, what's forgiven, and what no longer gets to borrow your devotion.
A Steady Inner Ground
Enter the new year heart-first—guided by intuition rather than pressure, comparison, or performance. Begin resourced, spacious, and open to receive what devotion has already been shaping beneath the surface.
Your 2026 Devotion Blueprint
A soul-aligned focus for the year ahead—not resolutions born from urgency, but a living current of devotion that quietly reshapes how you choose, love, create, and lead.
For years, I treated the new year like a performance—either setting up immense goals that were more about external validation than my heart, shaming myself for what I didn't do the year before, or focusing on what everyone else said you are supposed to focus on. The first time I crossed with my heart's freedom to create, my relationship with devotion changed. Instead of willpower, everything changed. I could feel the year begin from deep alignment instead of adrenaline.
That's what The Sacred Pause is here to hold for you: a way to begin 2026 rooted in truth and lucidity, not pressure or performance.
Five Live Ceremonies
All sessions are recorded for those who cannot attend live
Opening the Sanctuary
We gather to open sacred space together. Teaching on devotion as creative life-force, calling your energy back from where it's scattered, and preparing the inner temple for the passage ahead.
You leave feeling anchored—as if your body finally knows a threshold is coming.
The Devotional Inventory Begins
On the longest night, we enter the sacred review. Meditation, silence, and themes to hold as you work through The Devotional Inventory over the following days—walking month by month through 2025.
The noise starts to quiet, and your truth becomes harder to ignore—then impossible to deny.
Igniting the Light of Conception
When the sperm meets the egg, there is a flash of light—science has confirmed what mystics always knew. We plug into the Christ Light, clear cords and attachments that no longer serve, and receive upgraded codes as we usher in the phase of becoming.
A first clear spark appears—you can feel what is actually wanting to be born in you.
Ushering in the Birthing
Focus your devotional energy. Set aligned intentions. Begin manifesting in the subtle energy fields—for all manifestation starts in the unseen. I'll share my personal crossing ritual to inspire a new conscious way of taking this sacred threshold.
You now hold a clear vision and a simple ritual to carry you through the crossing.
Your Sovereign Crossing
December 31 – January 1
Held by ritual, guided emails, and the awareness we've cultivated together, you make the crossing on your own—consciously, intentionally, held by the sacred field even in your solitude.
The Gathering After Crossing
We reconvene on the other side. Share what emerged in the crossing, witness each other's revelations, and bless our sovereign journeys forward into 2026—no longer scattered, but devoted.
You leave feeling witnessed, blessed, and ready to move forward with a deep devotional lucidity about what this year is truly for.
How This Sacred Space Will Hold You
Gentle, precise structure to help your energy move from scattered to centered—without overwhelm, with the current of your devotion quietly leading the way.
Five Live Ceremonies
Opening, Solstice, Conception, Manifestation, and Closing gatherings—each one designed to move you from "I feel everything" to "I can feel what this season is asking of my devotion." All recorded for replay.
Daily Devotional Emails
So you don't have to hold this threshold on your own. You open your inbox and you're gently brought back into the current of devotion—simple themes, reflections, and sacred awareness to carry you through each day.
The Devotional Inventory PDF
So you don't just think about your year—you see, on paper, where your energy has been flowing and where it's ready to return. A 10-question reflection for each month of 2025.
Andrea's Recorded Teachings
You'll receive two heartfelt recordings: one honoring the birth of the Christ Light and one nurturing the Divine Child within. These teachings serve as a tender anchor during the Sacred Pause—inviting reflection, softening, and a deeper relationship with what is truly holy. Beautiful and potent, these transmissions carry an energy meant to awaken something sacred within you.
Meditation Themes & Silence
For the days you're tempted to skip the pause and slip back into autopilot. Permission to be still, to let silence do its holy work on your devotional heart.
Crossing Ritual & Guidance
So when the clock turns, you don't slip into old habits—you cross feeling anchored, witnessed, and lucid. My personal ritual plus guided support for your sovereign passage, with your devotion as the steady current beneath it all.
Place one hand on your heart.
Take one breath you did not rush.
This is how we begin.
Held by Two Generations of Devotional Practice
Mother and daughter. Psychology and spirit. A living thread of devotion holding you as you cross.
Shanti Lleone
Mystic Wayshower & Devotion Alchemist
Founder of The Living Mystery School of Devotion, Shanti has spent over two decades walking with mystics through sacred thresholds—channeling wisdom from the Light Council, helping clear what no longer serves, and teaching devotion as the creative life-force creating our lives.
This is the structure I longed for when I first learned to cross into the new year consciously. Now I offer it to you if you're ready to let devotion, not pressure, be the force that carries you forward.
"A union of wisdom and devotion — guiding the birth of the Christ Light within and tending it into living expression."
Andrea Bowes
Psychotherapist & Dream Alchemist
With decades of depth-work and clinical experience, Andrea brings grounded psychological wisdom into the sacred. As an initiate in Christian mystery traditions, her teachings open the inner altar and support the tender process of integrating spiritual awakening into lived, embodied life. Her work bridges the holy and the human—helping what is revealed become something you can truly live, not just understand.
In The Sacred Pause, her voice becomes steady ground—so as insight comes, grief releases, or new light rises, you have a place to land, soften, and let the experience become real.
