Welcome beautiful soul!
My name is Ana and I'm honored to guide you through this transformative lunar new year affirmation meditation.
Thank you for being here.
It's an honor to share this journey with you.
As we begin,
Let's honor the significance of the lunar new year.
The sacred time marks the start of a new cycle,
Celebrated on the second new moon after the winter solstice,
A point where the energy of renewal is at its peak.
Each lunar year aligns with one of the 12 zodiac animals and one of the five elements,
Creating a unique energetic blueprint for the year.
This year we welcome the year of the wood snake,
A time for introspection,
Transformation,
And quiet resilience.
The snake teaches us to shed all layers,
Adapt with grace,
And grow stronger from within.
Paired with the nurturing energy of the wood,
This year invites us to root deeply into our intentions,
Cultivate meaningful relationships,
And plan our growth with patience and precision.
Now let us start by finding a comfortable position.
You could be lying down or sitting,
Whatever feels best for you.
And once you've found that space,
Close your eyes and take a deep breath in and out.
With each inhale,
Feel calm and clarity in entering your body.
With each exhale,
Release tension and anything weighting you down.
Inhaling,
Inviting new air into the body.
Exhaling,
Releasing.
Inhaling,
Exhaling.
And then you can invite a natural way of breathing this time through the nose.
And as you breathe naturally,
Visualize roots growing from the base of your spine or the soles of your feet,
Reaching deep into the earth.
These roots represent the wood energy of the year,
Grounding you and connecting you to your own inner strength.
Feel the earth supporting all around yourself,
Your body.
There is support beneath you.
You are steady.
You are supported and unshakable.
Now picture yourself standing in a serene forest under the soft glow of moonlight.
The air is calm and the trees around you feel alive.
The roots are intertwined deeply into the nourishing soil.
In the heart of this forest,
You see a beautiful snake.
Its skin glistens as it begins to shed its old layer,
Leaving behind what no longer serves it.
The snake's movement is deliberate,
Steady and graceful.
As you watch,
You feel its energy inviting you to release your own burdens,
Old fears,
Doubts or patterns that no longer align with who you are becoming.
Take a deep breath in and visualize yourself shedding these layers just like the snake.
As you exhale,
Let them dissolve into the earth,
Leaving you feeling lighter,
Freer and ready to embrace the new.
Now notice a patch of fertile soil just before you.
It's rich and full of life.
The soil represents the yin wood energy of the year.
It's nurturing,
It's creative and it's deeply rooted in the unseen strength.
In your hands,
You hold a handful of seeds.
Each seed represents an intention,
A dream or a goal for the year ahead.
With care and intention,
Plant each seed into the soil.
As you do,
Silently name the quality or transformation it represents.
Perhaps resilience,
Compassion,
Clarity or growth.
Visualize the seeds taking root.
They're nourished by your own focus and the steady energy of the wood snake.
See them grow into strong,
Vibrant plants,
A symbol of your quiet yet deliberate progress throughout the year.
As you step back slowly from your garden,
Shift your focus to the connections in your life.
The snake's energy encourages you to nurture meaningful relationships,
Those that align with your values and bring you a sense of security and compassion.
Picture the people in your life who uplift and inspire you.
Visualize your connections with them growing stronger,
Rooted in mutual respect and understanding.
Imagine setting healthy boundaries where needed,
Creating space for balance and harmony in your relationships.
Now turn your attention to the snake once more.
Its movements are calm,
Deliberate and strategic.
Reminding you of the importance of patience and precision.
Feel this energy awakening within you.
The ability to plan carefully,
Adapt with grace and take purposeful action.
Visualize yourself moving through the year with confidence,
Trusting in your inner wisdom and the path unfolding before you.
Know that even in moments of stillness,
Growth and transformation are taking place.
Now slowly,
As I'll be saying a few affirmations,
I invite you to simply repeat these affirmations silently or out loud,
Allowing their energy to resonate deeply within you.
I embrace the past with gratitude and welcome the Lunar New Year with open arms.
I release the past with gratitude and welcome the Lunar New Year with open arms.
I embrace growth,
Transformation and abundance in all areas of my life.
I embrace growth,
Transformation and abundance in all areas of my life.
And abundance in all areas of my life.
I embrace growth,
Transformation and abundance in all areas of my life.
My inner strength and wisdom guide me through every step of my journey.
My inner strength and wisdom guide me through every step of my journey.
My inner strength and wisdom guide me through every step of my journey.
I nurture meaningful connections and set boundaries that open up new doors.
I nurture meaningful connections and set boundaries that honor my values.
I nurture meaningful connections and set boundaries that honor my values.
I move with patience and precision,
Trusting in my ability to grow and thrive.
I move with patience and precision,

Trusting in my ability to grow and thrive.
With each affirmation,
Feel yourself aligning with the transformative energy of the wood snake,
Rooted in clarity,
Resilience and purpose.
Taking a deep breath in,
Drawing in the energy of renewal and transformation and exhaling fully,
Grounding yourself in the present moment.
And then slowly place your hands over your heart,
Feeling the warmth of your intentions and the light of this new year within you.
And just letting this big final affirmation resonate deeply into your heart and be a guiding intention to the coming days.
I release the past with gratitude and welcome the lunar new year with open arms,
Embracing growth,
Transformation and abundance in all areas of my life.
I release the past with gratitude and welcome the lunar new year with open arms,
Embracing growth,
Transformation and abundance in all areas of my life.
I release the past with gratitude and welcome the lunar new year with open arms,
Embracing growth,
Transformation and abundance in all areas of my life.
Let this affirmation settle into your heart,
A guiding light as you move forward into the sacred year with clarity,
Purpose and grace.
And as you feel your heart beating,
As your hands are touching your heart,
Whisper a quiet thank you to yourself,
To the universe and to the sacred moment of connection and renewal.
When you're ready,
Gently start to bring the awareness back to your surroundings.
Wiggle your fingers and toes,
Hmm,
Yawning if you like,
Sighing it out.
And once you feel you're ready,
You may want to bring your hands in prayer in front of your heart,
Start rubbing the palms,
Rubbing the palms as quickly and strongly as you can.
Once you have enough,
You may want to bring your hands into your face,
Inhale that heat,
That space.
And once you're ready,
You may want to blink your eyes open,
Coming back into the space,
Carrying the energy of this meditation into the year ahead.
I thank you so,
So much for joining me in this journey of reflection and transformation.
And until next time,
May you move through life with grace,
Intention and authenticity.
From my heart to yours.
Namaste
