Begin by finding a comfortable and quiet place where you won't be disturbed for the next 15-20 minutes.
Just sit or lie down and take some time to really make sure you're comfortable.
I suggest sitting up rather than lying down in case you fall asleep but the choice is yours.
Just make sure you're warm enough and that your body feels supported.
Maybe just roll your neck and roll your shoulders,
Bring a gentle sway into your hips and when you feel ready just close your eyes and begin to arrive home inside yourself.
Notice how it feels to breathe all the way in and all the way out.
Give yourself permission to be here now,
There's nowhere else you need to be.
Call yourself home.
As you breathe just let go of any tension in your body and with each breath allow yourself to become more and more at ease.
I am centred,
I am grounded,
I am here now.
Allow yourself if it feels good for you to imagine roots extending from the base of your spine or the soles of your feet going down into the earth to anchor you firmly and allow yourself to feel and sense the earth's energy and wisdom rising up through these roots,
Connecting you to her strength,
Her vitality and her deep wisdom.
As you continue to breathe deeply let's set our intention for this meditation.
I am here to connect with the voice of my soul,
To gain clarity and insight and to see the vision for the year ahead.
Let's check in with your body once more before we begin to really notice as you breathe how your body feels,
Do you notice any tension or discomfort?
With each breath just allow that tension or discomfort to release.
Take a moment to ask your body what it needs from you in order to release any discomfort or tension that you feel.
You might wish to work from your toes and work all the way up relaxing each part of your body,
Just give yourself permission to be fully present.
From this relaxed and safe secure position I invite you to imagine that you are in a peaceful garden surrounded by nature's beauty and you find yourself walking along a path that leads you deeper and deeper into this beautiful natural space.
Along this path you find a peaceful and inviting place to sit and contemplate.
As you sit down take a moment to look around you,
Take in the serenity of this place,
How do you feel?
Use all your senses,
Notice the energy,
The vibrancy of nature,
How safe you feel.
As you sit in this space you notice a soft warm light begins to glow,
It glows all around you and from within you.
It is a loving and guiding presence,
It is the voice of your soul.
So take a moment to connect with this light,
Ask questions,
What is my purpose?
What is my sole purpose for the coming year?
What do you want me to focus on?
How can I feel more fulfilled?
Where can I find the freedom I crave?
Listen carefully for the response,
Your soul may communicate through thoughts,
Feelings,
Images or simply a sense of knowing.
Allow any insights to flow to you and trust your inner wisdom and intuition,
Your soul has your best interests at heart and will guide you towards a more empowered and soulful future.
As you continue to connect with your soul,
Start imagining your ideal future,
How do you want your life to unfold in the coming 12 months?
What does your work life look like,
Your home life?
What aspirations do you have or goals do you want to set?
Feel the emotion behind these,
Feel the energy of these visions.
How does it feel to have the life you've always wanted?
Express gratitude now to your soul for its guidance and insight,
You know you can return to this sacred space at any time to reconnect with your inner wisdom.
It's often as simple as placing your hands on your heart,
Closing your eyes and breathing as you go within,
But for now take a few deep breaths and slowly start to return to the present moment.
Notice how it feels to breathe all the way in and all the way out.
Notice how it feels to sit in the room you sit in,
The air on your skin,
The sensations and the sounds in the room around you and when you feel ready please open your eyes feeling rejuvenated and inspired by the connection you've made with your soul.
Take some time now to write down these insights and use them to shape your vision for the coming year.
