Welcome!
This guided visualization is brought to you by Indigo Alchemy.
I'm Marianne and I'll be your inner wisdom guide.
This meditation opens the quiet space between years,
Where 2025 gently settles into wisdom and 2026 opens with possibility.
Through the lens of the rearview mirror and the windshield,
You're invited to reflect on what shaped you,
Honor what softened you,
And step forward with clarity,
Compassion and intention.
This practice isn't only about breathing and reflecting,
It's about capturing what arises for you when you finally give yourself space.
There will be moments when clarity wants to land,
Or memory lifts,
Or when gratitude or grief or revelation shows itself.
And when that happens,
You're invited to pause this meditation,
Open your journal,
Grab a pen,
And write freely.
Not to make sense or worry about meaning,
No spell check or grammar check,
But simply witness what your inner voice has been waiting to say.
Let's begin.
Settle into a resting posture,
Sitting or lying down.
Gently notice the stillness of your body as you begin to settle in.
Allow your eyes to close if you're comfortable doing so,
Or drop your eyes to a soft gaze on an object nearby.
Let your awareness drop from the mind into the heart space.
Take a soft inhale in and release.
Again,
Take a soft inhale in and gently release.
Here we will enter the space between years,
Where reflection becomes wisdom and intention becomes light.
First,
We'll look through the rearview mirror.
In your mind's eye,
See yourself in a peaceful,
Safe car,
Not moving,
Yet deeply present.
The rearview mirror sits before you,
Gentle,
Truthful,
And reflective.
This is your 2025.
Not to judge,
Not to critique,
Only to witness.
Now visualize the path of the year behind you.
Month by month,
I'll gently call off the months one by one.
Consider the high peaks,
The surprisingly pleasant discoveries,
And powerful lessons as you listen to 2025 roll by.
April May June July August September October November December Now ask yourself,
Slowly and gently,
Where did I find moments of joy?
When was I at my personal best?
For whom am I grateful,
And how did I let them know?
What was most memorable,
Meaningful,
Or revealing this year?
What risks reminded me I'm alive,
Growing,
And still unfolding?
If 2025 held illness,
Interruption,
Exhaustion,
Or an unexpected pause,
Honor it without rushing past it.
Remember the lessons you lived.
Remember you were surrounded by people who love you,
Who support you,
And show up when life slows you to a stillness.
Take in a deep breath of gratitude.
And exhale,
Release.
Now we'll switch from the rear view to the windshield.
The windshield stretches wide in front of you.
The view is clear,
Open,
And expansive.
This is your 2026.
A year of grounded growth,
Quiet confidence,
And intentions made from who you truly are,
Not who you thought you had to be.
Invite these whispers into the year ahead.
Where in my life am I ready to replace striving with ease,
Performance with truth,
And urgency with presence?
What new definition of success would honor not just what I achieve,
But who I become while living it?
What am I ready to release,
Not because it failed,
But because I've outgrown that version of me that need it?
Which relationships expand my capacity to love and to be loved?
See your 2026 self choosing from the soul,
Not the schedule.
Together,
Rear view and windshield provide a balanced perspective for the year ahead.
Your rear view brings you wisdom,
Memory,
And humanity.
The windshield brings you vision,
Possibility,
And becoming.
You don't need to cling to the past or race into the future.
You are simply here.
And now that you've envisioned the year ahead,
We'll use affirmations to support your new path.
Gently repeat them to yourselves,
Silently or out loud.
I'll repeat them three times.
I honor what shaped me in 2025.
I release what no longer serves me.
I step into 2026 with clarity,
Compassion,
And light.
I honor what shaped me in 2025.
I release what no longer serves me.
I step into 2026 with clarity,
Compassion,
And light.
I honor what shaped me in 2025.
I release what no longer serves me.
I step into 2026 with clarity,
Compassion,
And light.
I step into 2026 with clarity,
Compassion,
And light.
Take one final deep breath in.
And a full,
Gentle exhale out.
Feel the softness in your body and the renewal in your mind.
And when you're ready,
Return to your body,
To the room,
To this moment.
You are ready for the road that calls you.
May your 2026 be filled with inner wisdom,
Clarity,
Peace,
And light.
Namaste.
