Welcome to Reflect,

Release and Reset for 2021.

This meditation is for you to reflect on the past year,

For you and your business,

And to release any heaviness or anything that you no longer wish to hold on to,

And to reset so that you can begin 2021 feeling refreshed and ready.

So let's begin by finding a place that is quiet and comfortable and getting into a position where you can feel relaxed.

And we'll begin by breathing.

Focusing on the breath is one of the best ways to relax your mind and body.

So focusing now on the breath,

Just begin to notice your own rhythm.

Follow the breath as you breathe in through the nostrils,

Follow its pathway down the windpipe into your lungs,

Pushing out your belly as your lungs become full,

And then notice how your body feels as you let go and exhale.

Just bringing your mind and attention fully on the breath,

Finding your rhythm.

And as you do this,

You notice that any outside distractions or noises become more distant,

They fade away.

And if you start to notice things around you or your thoughts become busy again,

Just bring your attention back to your breath and it will gently guide you back.

So continue to breathe.

And now we're going to add some intention to the breath.

Then as you breathe in,

You allow yourself to open and receive,

And your body softens and relaxes.

And as you exhale,

You let go,

And you open and create space.

So breathing in with the intention of receiving,

Opening,

Relaxing,

Softening,

And exhale,

Letting go,

Releasing,

Creating space.

Continue to breathe,

And just letting each breath become a little slower and deeper.

And as you exhale,

Giving yourself permission to drop deeper into relaxation,

Giving your body permission to relax,

To release,

And to let go.

We're going to use the breath through this meditation,

And so we will continue to focus on the breath.

And as we begin this meditation,

We are going to cast our awareness into the breath,

And we're going to cast our awareness back to the beginning of 2020.

With curiosity and compassion,

We're going to journey through the year and then set some intentions for the coming year.

So we start now by bringing our awareness and casting it all the way back to January 2020.

And you may actually feel your body change or your consciousness to change,

Depending on what you were feeling in January 2020.

And so just observe yourself right now and your business.

And we're going to look at that first quarter of January to March,

And we're going to ask our subconscious to draw out from within you,

With the guidance of your soulful self,

With your wise self,

To bring up for you moments that you were proud of,

Some things that you may have achieved,

Some successes,

And these can be small or large.

It could be that you just showed up for your business and your clients through this time.

Perhaps it was the best quarter of income that you have achieved.

Just tuning in now to that first quarter of January to March.

What was going on for you?

What are you proud of?

What would you like to bring forth to acknowledge,

To admire,

To celebrate?

Doing that now,

Bringing it up to the surface,

Acknowledging it and celebrating,

And allowing your body to expand with these memories.

What does it feel like to remember these moments,

To celebrate these moments?

Breathing in and expanding with the feelings that come up.

And now as you have scanned January to March,

Be aware of any heaviness that is still lingering from those moments,

From those times.

What else came up for you that feels heavy,

That you would like to let go of,

That you don't want to carry through into 2021?

On the exhale,

We are going to let go of this heaviness.

And so bring them up now,

Bringing your attention to any heaviness and where it may be sitting in your body.

And breathing in now,

Beautiful,

Nurturing,

Cleansing energy.

Breathing in fully and holding full for a few moments.

And then giving yourself permission now to exhale and let go of the heaviness.

Let go.

And just see it leaving your body and your mind letting it float or drift away.

We're going to do two more big breaths.

Breathing in once again,

Just breathing in the nurturing,

Cleansing energy.

Hold full and then purposely exhale and let go.

Any heaviness,

Any worries,

Thoughts,

Behaviours,

Let them go.

And one last time,

Breathing in,

Holding full,

And then with intention and purpose,

Let go.

Any heaviness,

Any worry that you no longer wish to hold on to.

And now we're going to move forward to the next quarter of April to June.

What was happening in your business over these months?

For most of us around the world,

There had been some sort of lockdown or change in the way we did business.

What was happening for you in these months?

What are you proud of?

What did you do in April,

May and June?

What can you celebrate?

Perhaps you chose to have a rest from your business as you focused on homeschooling or other things.

Perhaps you were pivoting from in-person sessions to online sessions.

Allow yourself to bring up from deep within those moments that you are proud of,

That you can celebrate,

That you can acknowledge about those three months.

Breathing in and expanding those feelings now,

Really acknowledging and celebrating what you achieved in three months,

Which were quite tricky for some people.

Acknowledging choices that you made if you had to make severe changes or hard changes in your business.

Celebrating how you were able to make those choices.

Celebrating how you showed up for yourself and your business.

And as you observed those three months of April to June,

Allowing yourself to reveal any heaviness that is still lingering from those months.

Perhaps there's some small trauma still sitting there,

Or other feelings of heaviness that you would like to let go of.

Ask yourself the question,

Do I want to take this heaviness into 2021,

Or would I like to let it go?

And if the answer is yes,

You'd like to let go,

Then once again breathing in the beautiful nurturing energy.

Allow the energy to flow through you as you fill the belly with the breath.

And then on the exhale,

Give yourself permission to let go of anything that no longer serves you,

That could hold you back in 2021.

Letting go now.

And we'll do one more breath.

Breathing in,

Holding full,

Seeking out the heaviness,

And then exhale and let go.

With a great big sigh.

And now we move forward to July to September.

So it's the beginning of a new financial year.

What was happening for you now?

What were you doing in your business?

Were you creating change?

Were you doing new things?

Perhaps there was a launch.

Perhaps you had decided to go quiet for these three months.

What was it you were doing?

And bringing up from within you moments that you can be proud of and celebrate.

What's one or two or three or many things you did that deserve celebration over those three months?

July to September.

Letting them rise up now and just feeling the feelings that come along with the celebration of those three months.

Expanding now.

Feeling those feelings.

Enjoying that feeling.

And then observe the new feelings that you've been experiencing.

And then observe was there any heaviness that came along in those three months?

Was there any worry or doubt?

Anything you were concerned about that you're still holding on to?

And if you'd like to let go,

We will do so on the next out breath.

So breathing in now the beautiful nurturing cleansing energy.

And then on the exhale let go and release any heaviness,

Worry or doubts.

One more breath in.

Feeling the body with this cleansing energy seeking out the heaviness.

Releasing any trauma and letting go on the out breath.

Beautiful.

And now we come into the last quarter of 2020,

September to December.

The year was moving fast by this time and we were seeing that we were coming to the end of a difficult year for many people.

And it felt like the new year was offering promise.

And so we were seeing a little bit more action,

Perhaps a little bit more hope in these three months.

What was happening for you and your business in October,

November and December?

Looking at it now and bringing up any moments that deserve celebration and reward.

Reflecting now on those three months.

Celebrating,

Being proud of anything whether it be small or large.

Bringing to the surface now and expanding.

Feeling the feelings and allowing yourself to be filled with those feelings of celebration,

Confidence,

Being proud.

And then as you observe those months,

Was there any heaviness that you're still holding onto,

That you don't want to take into 2021?

And just observing in your body where that heaviness is sitting.

And if you'd like to let go,

We shall do so on the next out breath.

So rising up,

Feeling those feelings of heaviness,

Scooping them up.

And on the next in breath,

Feeling your body with nurturing and cleansing energy.

And on the out breath,

Letting go and watching the heaviness just drift away.

And now we're just going to do one last breath of a whole of 2020.

And any heaviness that is still lingering,

Any traces,

We're going to do one last in breath and let go.

So breathing in,

Once again,

This beautiful compassionate,

Clean,

And and watching the heaviness just drift away.

And now we're just going to do one last breath of a whole of 2020.

And any heaviness that is still lingering,

Any traces,

We're going to do one last in breath and let go.

So breathing in,

Once again,

This beautiful compassionate cleansing energy.

Seeking out any last hidden traces of heaviness.

Hold the in breath for a moment.

And then let go with a resounding sigh.

I am done with that heaviness.

I'm letting it go.

I deserve a fresh start.

And let go.

Beautiful.

And so it's time to celebrate.

It is December and we've made it.

We've made it through a tricky year.

And now what it is do we wish to take into 2021.

And so it might be a beautiful time to set the energy for the new year.

Perhaps within you is a theme or a word that would represent 2021 for you.

And so seeking deep within the core of you,

From the creative part of you,

What is it that you would like to feel?

What word or theme would represent this?

And allow it to flow up from within you.

Let it rise to the surface.

And we're going to send the energy of that theme of that word all the way through 2021.

Breathe in and send that energy through January,

February,

March,

April,

May,

June,

July,

August,

September,

October,

November and December.

And now asking yourself,

How do you want to show up in 2021?

How do you want to feel in your business?

And what would you like your business to do for you?

How would you like your business to support you?

And what would that look like?

Will there be a constant and consistent amount of energy and work flowing through the year?

Will you have months of intense action and celebration followed by a few months of rest?

How will you operate in 2021 in a way that is most authentic and comfortable for you?

You can choose all of this now and you can place the energy of that all the way through the months of 2021.

Are you planning significant changes will you be planning launches or retreats?

And what kind of energy would you like to support you through those changes or those launches?

We can send the energy now of support and encouragement and anchor that energy now waiting for you for those points in time through the year that you will need extra love and compassion from yourself.

Anchoring those points now throughout the year.

And maybe you'd like to send this into every month,

An extra dose of support and love from you to your business to yourself in 2021.

Sending that through now paving the way so that when you reach those months this beautiful energy will be awaiting you.

Breathing in and sending all the way through 2021 that beautiful supportive energy.

And now we would like to just send one last beautiful intention for your beautiful business and for yourself in 2021 and all those that support you in your business to all your clients to the people that you support and that you are supporting.

To the clients,

To the people that you mentor from,

To the teams of people that you have helping you.

Let us send the energy of encouragement and inspiration through and gratitude for all those people that support you.

Breathing in and sending that gratitude through now.

Sending gratitude for those you haven't even met yet to clients you have not even spoken to yet.

Sending this beautiful gratitude and compassion and love into the year so that when they meet you they will feel this energy they will be waiting for you.

May 2021 be the best year for you in your business ever.

May you grow and expand with ease and grace.

May you find success.

May you dream the impossible and may it come to you with ease and grace.

May you know that you are amazing and that all is well.
