Hello, My name is Diana Mirceaiva and I am honoured to accompany you to the new year of your life. Thank you so much for taking up this time for yourself to reflect on the past year of your life and to reflect on how you want to make the future year. Sit comfortably or lie down, Make sure that your spine is straight and try to relax as much as possible. You can use cushions or blankets around you and make sure that no one and nothing disturbs you during this time. Relax and give yourself permission to be here and now. First of all, I want to congratulate you on completing another great year on this planet. I really hope that you fully enjoyed the past year no matter what. I'm pretty sure there is hustle and bustle on this festive time around you and I'm pretty sure as well that you have quite a huge to-do list of the things that you need or want to complete before the new year starts. But here's the thing. If you want to truly and fully enjoy this holiday time to be aware, Mindful and conscious of the new year coming, There's nothing better than being here and now. So even if you will not complete everything you have to do or even if there is not much time left and you're extremely busy, The most important thing is to be mindful of what is happening not around you but inside of you. Well, Let's start with taking three deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth with a sigh. Let's do it together. Deep inhale and let it go with a sigh. One more time, Deep inhale and let it go. The third time, Deep inhale and let it go. Breathe naturally and try to relax just 1% more. Well, First of all, Pay attention to your body. Where does it have the contact with the ground? Maybe your feet, Some parts of your legs, Your hips, Your sitting bones, Your back, Your shoulder blades, Your head. What do you feel at these points? Warmth? Is it pleasant? Do you have some tension somewhere? Just pay attention to your sensations but do not try to change anything. And what is happening inside your body? How does your body feel? Is there any energy flowing from your toes to the crown of your head, In your limbs, In your stomach? How do you breathe? How is your throat? What do you feel inside of your chest? Probably some emotion. Do not label it as pleasant or unpleasant but try to be curious about it. How do you physically feel this emotion? How does it make your body feel? Do not engage with these emotions or any thoughts that may arise. Try to observe the emotion. Be curious how it affects your body. If this emotion had color, What color would it be? How dense would it be? How would it probably smell or taste? Anything that comes to your mind in the first place is the best answer. Do not try to turn on your brain or try to find a logical answer and even if nothing comes up, That's completely fine. The answer is in the question. Well, You are here and now. And if you throw a wide perspective on the past year and the 12 months of your life, How was it? What are the highlights that start flashing in your mind's eye? What have you done? What have you accomplished? What couldn't become real? What else you would like have happened? But I know for sure that you did your best and that you can be proud of yourself. Why? Because you're here. Because no matter what was happening, Every single day you are here. You made it. And I am really, Really proud of you. You're extremely strong and wise. And you have everything you need inside of you to make the next year of your life better, Brighter, More meaningful, However you want it to be. What is the most important you would take with you from the past year? It can be anything. The feeling of self. Some important lesson learned. Can you skill gained? What do you want to thank and leave in this past year? What would you like to be free from? Give thanks to that. It was a great experience that really enriched your life. And let it go. Who are three most important people who influenced you in the past year? You can thank them in your mind's eye or you can silently whisper thank you. Is there anything else you want to remember from the past year? What would you like to do with that memory? How do you feel about that? If there is something you want to have in your life in the future, Be confident to grab and take it. If there is something that you wish never happened again, Be grateful it was with you, Say thanks and feel free to leave. Well, No matter what was happening, You are here once again. Feel your body, Feel your breath in your belly, Chest or beneath your nose. And let's reflect on the future year. What are your wildest wishes and desires? What would you love to have in your life? Whom would you love to have in your life? What is the biggest and most important goal you would like to have achieved at the end of the next year? Do not think whether it's possible for you or you hesitate a bit, Just dream, Just dream, Be free. How would you like to feel during the next year? And how could you support yourself during the next year? How would you like to take care of yourself? How would you like to take care of others? Try to feel all the coming answers, Not only in your mind's eye, In your head, But in your body. Notice what makes you excited and stick to it. Notice what causes fear, Anxiety or hesitation and work with it. What is one of your biggest strengths there? Is there anything you would like to wish to yourself for the coming year? Yes, That's it. That's good. And with all my heart and soul, I wish you to have it. Honestly, You deserve that. Are there any other images of the future year coming your way that you may want to pay attention to? Take your time and I'll be silent for a few moments. Well, That's great. One more time, Thank yourself for making this time only for you. Let's come back to the present moment. How is your body? Did anything change from the beginning of the practice? Pay attention to your belly and your chest, How they raise and fall while you're breathing. Be grateful for the breath. It's so easy and natural. You don't have to worry about that. You don't have to control that. It's happening. You can trust your body. What else can you be grateful for right now? Right, There must be something. There it is. Let this feeling flow in your body. Embrace it. Gratitude. What can be better right now? Good. Well, I guess it is time for you to fully come back to the present moment. During this time, Make sure to ask yourself, How do I feel now? How does my body feel? What can I do to make myself even more comfortable? All in all, Take care. Take care of yourself, Your mind, Your soul, Your emotions, Your body. You're doing a great job. No hesitations here. Happy new year. It was a pleasure to spend this time with you. Enjoy. See you next time. Bye.
