Transcript

Try and step away from everything that's going on in your world.

Bring yourself into a place of comfort,

Either seated or lying down.

Close your eyes.

Take a breath and settle into this place for a few moments.

Actively let go of the tension in your body.

Breathe out and relax your shoulders.

Soften your jaw.

Release any tension that you may be holding around the space,

Across your forehead and your eyes.

See if you can purposefully surrender your body.

Soften into the position that you're in,

As if you're falling deeper into that state of being.

Internally just tell yourself to relax into yourself.

Release into yourself.

Soften and let go.

Sometimes there is fear and change,

A apprehension of what may be lost in the release of old patterns that no longer serve a greater good.

Even though we know there needs to be a new start,

There is a resistance in stepping into the unknown.

There is straddle between the head and the heart space.

The head being closer connected to the ego,

That part of us that needs protection,

That needs to keep us safe,

That wants to keep us the same.

It's not our enemy.

It's just its beliefs are limited and earthbound.

And then we have our heart.

Our heart is connected to the beat of that part of us,

The knowing part of us,

Our higher,

Wiser self.

Our heart always knows what's best.

It doesn't feel the fears of the head in the same way.

It has caution.

But our heart has the power to override and step into that which is of our greater good.

It only ever wants us to evolve and change and most importantly expand.

So much has happened in this previous year that could have affected us in different ways.

We're coming to a new beginning.

On the calendar of earth,

A representation of a new start.

January is a month of cleansing,

Letting go,

Starting something new.

It's in our consciousness that it's an opportunity for us to change.

Even though in truth we could do this at any moment.

January is accepted amongst all of us that it's time to make new resolutions,

To set new healthy boundaries,

To be a new person.

Soften your shoulders and see if you can use this time with me to surrender into a new higher vibration that will help you to make the changes that you need in your current reality.

Connect to the base of your spine.

Just feel your sit bones.

Feel the ground underneath them if you're seated and at the back of them if you're laid down.

Mindfully breathe down into that space,

That part of your body.

And see if you can intensify any sensations that you have there.

Imagine the space activating and opening,

Drawing down towards the earth.

Pulling gently the energy that's within you as it connects to the energy of the planet beneath you.

See if you can intensify that gentle,

Mild pull.

So that you feel more grounded and rooted,

Connected.

This will help you to feel more stable and safe.

With stability comes a feeling of calm.

When we feel grounded we feel more focused.

And with focus comes the ability to not feel overwhelmed.

We're focused,

We're grounded.

All is well.

Breathe into that sensation and allow yourself to feel fully connected.

To the expansion of who we are.

The earth beneath our feet.

When we're rooted to the planet it naturally makes us feel more capable.

We can do anything.

We can achieve the goals that we've written down and prepared for this coming new year.

We can achieve anything that we set our mind to.

Knowing our mind is the one that can panic,

Stray,

Feel confused,

Feel fear,

Apprehension.

We can also use intention to control the mind.

To remove the suffering part of us that creates the suffering within us.

The doubt.

We can control our thoughts and override the fear.

If we allow the strength that we're feeling from the root,

From the base of our spine.

To come up through the body and reside in our heart space.

Take a breath down into your heart.

And imagine that internally this space is starting to open.

The power inside of our heart center is starting to vibrate and gently flow through our chest,

Up our throat,

Down into our abdomen.

It's going to mingle down into a lower chakras all the way down to the base of our spine.

It's going up into our face,

Our third eye,

Our crown.

The energy and vibration of your heart space is saturating your whole being.

And in the opening and expansion of this space,

You start to feel brave.

You start to get the sensation and the feeling and the knowing that you can do anything that you set your mind on.

Anything can be accomplished.

The changes that need to be made connected to your job will be done.

You will have the knowing and the bravery and the determination and even the excitement to make the changes ahead.

The changes that need to be made in your relationships can be accomplished with a wide open heart.

You can come at anything from a loving space.

Gentleness,

Kindness and compassion can make great shifts and changes in your reality.

You can achieve your goals.

There is nothing stopping you.

And when the doubts come into the mind,

Breathe into your heart.

Connect down deep to your root.

Use the two powers of these centers and override any fear that comes into your being.

Breathe through the fear.

Tell yourself you're worth it.

You respect yourself.

You honor the self.

And you're worth every single change.

Every single release.

You have the power within you to create the reality that you desire.

And now is the time for you to do so.

Namaste.
