New Year Meditation (Letting Go of 2022, Stepping Into 2023)

If your year was anything like mine, you experienced some of the highest highs and lowest lows. But, one thing is for sure... we made it. Whatever happened in this past year, we get to be here now. This moment, this day, this upcoming year is BRAND NEW.

Let's take a few moments to gently, lovingly reflect and bring this year to a conscious completion, while also tapping into the energy of being open and receptive to the abundance, beauty, and power available to us in this new year. Happy 2023!

Transcript

Good morning and welcome to the artist morning.

My name is Darius and this is a very special meditation.

This is my year end meditation for 2022.

Wow,

What a year.

I literally have goosebumps in this moment.

Thinking and feeling about what has happened in this year.

It's been a true roller coaster ride,

Experiencing some of the highest highs and some really deep lows.

You can relate.

One thing is for sure.

You and I made it.

We made it to today,

To this moment.

Whatever happened in this past year,

We are here now.

We get to be here now.

I have never experienced here.

This moment,

This day is brand new.

And before we step in to this beautiful new canvas called 2023,

I'd like us to take a few minutes through this meditation to gently,

To lovingly reflect and maybe bring this past year to a conscious completion.

Building an energy that can make us open and receptive to the abundance,

To the beauty,

To the power that is available to us in this new year.

Let's begin our meditation.

Your eyes are open.

I'd like to invite you to close them now as we go inwards together.

Take a moment to land.

Land in your seat.

Land in your body.

Land in your heart.

However you are feeling,

Whatever you are thinking,

Any sensation in your body,

I want to invite you just to allow it,

To notice it,

To get curious about it.

Slowing everything down.

If you are open,

I'd like to invite you to use your hands and just place them on your legs,

Gently putting a little bit of pressure on your chest,

On your heart,

Just grounding your energy in a nice gentle way.

Just connecting with your body.

Thank you body.

Thank you for allowing me to travel,

To meet new people,

To go to new places,

To eat new foods.

All the people you met this year,

All the hugs,

All the laughs,

All the tears,

Maybe even all the kisses.

Thank you body.

None of this would be possible without you.

Just take a moment to connect with your body and maybe share some gratitude about all the things you've been able to do together this year.

Bravo,

Dear artist.

It might seem simple,

But so many people don't take time to connect with themselves,

Their bodies,

With their hearts.

So focused on what's next.

It's easy to miss what's here,

The abundance,

The glory,

The gifts right here,

Right now.

This past year was I'm sure many things for you,

Maybe new relationships,

Maybe old relationships that no longer exist or can exist in the same manner,

Maybe new creations.

So many things happen in a day,

In a moment,

Let alone a year.

I want to do with the rest of this song is leave a little space for you,

Your body,

Your heart to reflect,

To feel,

To process.

And if you're ready to let go of things from this past year,

You don't need to think about it.

It might be an intellectual practice for you.

And there's thought it might be a feeling practice and it might just be a cellular thing,

A feeling of the universe coming through you without thought and allowing you to evolve.

Yeah,

Yeah.

UnKNOWN Speaker 3 Maybe it's flashbacks.

Maybe it's specific memories.

Maybe you feel joyful.

Maybe you feel sad.

All of it is welcome here.

Even if you're having a hard time feeling and remembering,

The universe is here supporting you always.

The universe is here to help you clear your channels.

The universe is here to help you clear your channels.

Many blocks,

Limiting beliefs,

Dense energy.

The universe is working through your system now to clear and open your channels.

You get to choose.

Do you accept this offer?

Are you open to the universe lovingly opening your heart?

Are you open to the universe lovingly opening your throat,

Your mouth,

Your ability to speak your truth in the world?

Are you open to the universe clearing your eyes,

Opening your eyes to the abundance,

To the power,

To the beauty that is already here in your life?

The universe is here to lovingly open all your channels.

If resistance shows up for you,

That's ok.

The universe loves your resistance.

All of you is welcome here.

All of you is welcome here.

All of you is welcome here.

Opening your sacral chakras,

Opening your root chakras,

Opening all energy sources.

Opening the energy in your feet,

From your toes to the top of your head.

The universe is here to lovingly open and clear all your channels.

Maybe you were open to this support by the universe to open your channels and maybe you were fully resistant.

Whatever happened in the beginning of this meditation,

I want you to let it go.

I want us to start again.

This is our last song.

I want you to imagine there is a golden light from the sky.

It's coming down on your head and it's pouring pure love straight from the heart of God into your head,

Down your entire system,

Healing,

Loving,

Supporting you in exactly the way you need.

It's coming from source,

It's coming from universe.

Can you feel it?

It's giving you exactly what you need to close this past year and it's giving you what you need for this new year.

You're open to it,

Let it spread through your body,

Bringing love,

Abundance,

Beauty and creativity to every single cell.

Bravo,

Dear artist.

You made it to this moment,

This brand new moment right now.

You made it to the end of this meditation,

You made it to the end of this year,

You made it to the beginning of this new year.

You made it and I'm celebrating you.

For those of us joining live with The Artist Morning,

As always I'm going to put 20 minutes on the clock and allow us to do some private personal journaling.

You're catching us on a replay,

Perhaps on Insight Timer,

Of course you could do the same,

Get your journal out and see what's here and ready to express through you.

Thank you so much for meditating with me,

Thank you for one of the best years of my life,

Thank you.

My name's Darius and I will see you next time.

Reviews

Thank you so much for this meditation. It's really helpful for me

Wow ❤️ So powerful, thank you! So many tears.. and gratitude 🤍🌿🙏

Fantastic meditation! Loved everything about this piece. Heartfelt thanks. 🙏🏻💕

I physically felt my shoulders suddenly relax more deeply, releasing and dropping, during the part about being washed by the universe to release.

Would love to know what the music tracks are, specifically the first, one during the part of universe washing/releasing, and the last track?

Always amazing Darius!!

I was wondering if you could do a daily morning meditation with gratitude setting, intention, and affirmations - a one size fits all that I would do everyday! Thank you again

Loved this, acknowledging, thanking 2022 and inviting in 2023, thank you Darius!

Cannot get enough of these amazing 🤩 meditations 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️🕉️🙏

I have been in resistance to many things I did not understand....and I realize that this creates distance and not connection. I am open to reconnect. ❤️🙏🕊️
