This is a havening exercise for setting an inspired new intention for the new year. I'd like to invite you as always to welcome in the soothing havening touch to deepen the experience starting with your hands crossed over your chest, Fingertips on your shoulders and moving gently down your arms in a soothing, Loving, Moving hug or palm against palm as though you're washing your hands under warm water. You may also gently run your fingertips across your brow or around your eyes. Now to begin, I'd like to invite you to notice if you set any intentions already for this new year. And if you did, Just visit them briefly in your mind and if you didn't, That's just fine. We're going to set a different type of intention right now. If you did set those intentions, I'd like to invite you to explore into what type of energy you'll need to travel alongside you to help bring those experiences to life. And for those of you who are currently without any concrete intentions developed, What type of energy would you like to have journey alongside you into this new year and beyond? We have the power to sculpt the brain that we want as we sculpt our brain, Create the energy and the feeling states that we want more of any given moment. So let's find the feeling state that you would like more of as you move into this new year. What will support you in whatever journey you are currently on? Perhaps a greater sense of calm and contentedness, Maybe greater energy and motivation, Perhaps even inspiration and purpose, Whatever it might be. Find whatever that energy state is right now. And once you have that state, I invite you to bring it into the present moment with us and notice, Does this state of being have a color or perhaps many colors? And what color would that be? Perhaps a vibrant citrus, Bright yellow, Soothing, Calm blue. What does your energetic state look like? We're going to welcome in a gentle breath, Imagining that we're inviting that color into us and notice, Does your energy have a smell? Perhaps peppermint, Wet grass after a rain, Salt of sea air or even soothing lavender. What is this smell? What is the scent of your energetic state? And as you're breathing that in and deep into your belly, Inviting to expand, Notice, Does that energy connect anywhere in your mind and your body? Does it have a home within you? And if not, Is there some place where you'd like to invite it to make a home so that you can visit with it frequently? Perhaps it might live in your heart or in your core. Maybe it's a strength in your back or the energy of your shoulders dropping down as you lift your head. What does that energy feel like when it's in relationship with your body? Now let's invite in a little curiosity. We're going to ask ourselves, What if completing that sentence with your chosen state, What if I was energized? What if I was inspired? What if I was creative or calm, Whatever it might be? Start to chew on that what if possibility. What if? And notice where that lives in your body as you continue to explore that possibility. Keep repeating that statement. What if I was? What if I could be? What if I am? Try on all the different what ifs, Inviting that energy to deepen and more fully connect with your very beingness. And let's breathe in that wonderful sense of your chosen energy again, Inviting it to expand and notice, Can you be? And even just the tiniest bit of you start to embody this energy. What would your posture look like if you were to move into a state of, I can be with this experience, Looking out towards the rest of this new brand, Clean, Beautiful year that's awaiting us. I can be. I can be calm. I can be energized. I can be creative. I can be motivated. Inviting your mind to explore into the can be's, Even embodying that position. And when you're in that state, What does that feel like? Breathing in that sense, Welcoming it into the home that is you. And if it feels comfortable, You can even move into, I will be. Deep in that relationship, Or even I am, If it's starting to feel real and present right here, Right now. And if it's still a possibility, Imagine you're just planting the seed, Letting your brain and your body know what you want. What if, Wherever you are in your journey with this energetic state, Revisit it, Grow with it, Expand upon it. Every single time you revisit that color or that scent, You can be in that state of, I'm going to be with you. I'm going to be with color, That scent, Where you invite your body to reconnect with that experience. You're deepening your brain's relationship with it and reminding your brain and your body that you want this. This matters to you. So visit it plenty, Daily, And invite it to become a part of your world. And guess what? It will be. Happy New Year.
