And welcome back.
This is the fourth in our five-week meditation series about shedding the year of 2025 and the year of the snake and moving into 2026 and the momentum of the year of the horse.
Looking back in week one,
We focused on shedding the year and releasing what no longer fits.
And then in week two,
Our focus was on listening inward and honoring our inner wisdom.
Last week in week three,
Our focus was opening to freedom and welcoming the year of the horse.
This week,
In week four,
We'll be talking about brave steps and cultivating courage and momentum that will guide us in our clarity and our forward motion into 2026,
The year of the horse.
So take a moment and settle into your seat.
Get comfortable.
I invite you to sit with your spine nice and straight,
Both of your feet planted on the floor,
And your hands resting gently in your lap.
If it's comfortable for you,
Gently close your eyes.
Let's take a nice cleansing breath together,
Breathing in deeply through your nose,
Holding for a moment at the top,
Feeling that expansion in your body,
And then releasing slowly and fully out your mouth.
A couple of more deep breaths like that at your own pace.
Feel your feet supported by the earth.
Feel strength rising through your legs.
Notice the brightness and notice the invitation.
The horse stands beside you,
Steady and powerful.
Ask yourself softly,
Where is life asking me to be braver?
What truth is ready to be expressed?
Picture yourself taking one step forward on that glowing,
Warm,
Inviting path.
Notice the confidence you feel in your chest.
I can do brave things gently.
Let the horse walk beside you.
Let courage settle into your shoulders,
Your spine,
Your breath.
Notice the courage as softness.
The courage as clarity.
The courage as alignment.
Then,
Through your nose,
Hold it at the top.
You are ready for your next brave step.
Welcome the year of the horse.
