Often, we are encouraged to set goals for the year ahead. But how about we set intentions instead? What do you wish the following year to look like and how do you wish to show up? This meditation will take you on a journey to contemplate these questions and invite you to set soul-inspiring intentions while releasing and letting go of anything that doesn't serve you from the previous year so that you can make an energetic space for what you desire.

Transcript

Get into a comfortable position either seated or lying down.

Taking a deep breath in and closing your eyes if it feels comfortable for you to do so.

Start to notice your body,

The sensations,

Any awareness that you need to focus on right now.

You may need to wriggle and move your body to get into a comfortable,

Quiet,

Alert state.

Notice how your breath moves in through your nose and out again.

Taking a few nourishing breaths here.

I invite you to bring your attention to your third eye right between your eyebrows.

Imagine going deep into the center of your consciousness.

And any time your mind wanders,

Bring your awareness back to this spot.

As you continue to breathe,

I invite you to recall the last year and ask yourself,

Is there anything I wish to release?

If so,

Imagine this energy,

This memory or even regret come together in a ball of light floating just above your head.

What color is this energy?

How big is it?

What does it look like?

Or has it taken on an image of its own?

Start to feel the old here releasing out of all different parts of your body.

Continue to take slow,

Deep breaths in and out.

As you do,

I invite you to release that ball of energy.

Perhaps it floats away off into the sun,

Being burned by the rays.

Or you may imagine an angel or other celestial being coming down and safely carrying it away.

Or maybe it just fades and disappears.

As you watch this energy leave,

How do you feel?

Enjoy this expansiveness of the release.

Now let's fill in these spots that housed that old stagnant energy.

Consider an intention or intentions you would like to set for the coming year.

Either a new one or possibly one that you would like to renew.

Would you like to build a community of like-minded people?

Or cultivate more inner peace and harmony?

Would you like to be more present with family?

Or do you desire to trust your intuition more and go after your desires?

Or perhaps something completely different?

Whatever the intention,

Bring it to your mind's eye,

Your third eye.

If this intention also looked like a ball of energy or light,

What colour would you give it?

What would its temperature be?

Would it be warm or cool?

I invite you to imagine a beautiful funnel over your head.

Simply floats above your head and invites only the best,

Most beautiful energy into your body.

Imagine this funnel drawing in the energy of your intentions and then seeping down into your body,

Filling up all of the empty spaces where the old energy from the past year resided.

If you feel any sensations,

Tingling or twitching,

That is perfectly okay.

Your body is simply responding to this energy.

Once you feel this energy has filled your entire being,

Take a moment to close this funnel off.

Know that you can reopen it at any time to invite only the best,

Beautiful energy inside of yourself.

Let's finish by taking some nourishing breaths here and sitting in this renewed,

Intentional energy.

When you're ready,

Start to bring some gentle movements back into your fingers and toes and slowly open your eyes,

Coming back to the present moment,

Right here,

Right now.
