Take a deep breath in.
Deep breath out.
Deep breath in,
In through the nose,
Into the belly.
Hold the breath for just a moment and then exhale and close your eyes.
Center in for a moment,
Just taking a couple minutes to yourself.
Continue to breathe in through the nose,
Holding the breath at the top,
Exhaling,
Letting it go,
Deflating the belly like a balloon.
And just start to feel your entire body relax with each breath,
Your entire being surrendered to the moment.
And with each breath,
Breathing in new fresh energy of the year ahead.
And with every exhalation,
Letting go of the year behind you.
And really staying conscious with the breath,
Needing each breath,
Each inhalation,
Like it's a brand new energy and feeling the air,
The coolness or the warmth as it moves into your nostrils and feeling the miracle of your exhalation.
And just really deepening the breath and deepening your presence,
Deepening your feeling of being completely here and now.
The only thing that takes you out of the moment is your mind,
Is your thinking.
Meet yourself with precious,
Gracious companionship right now.
Let go of everything that this year has brought you,
The beautiful and the challenging.
And welcome it,
The present now,
Full of beautiful,
Infinite possibilities.
Make it a practice just for these moments while we're together that you will get present.
Feel the peace and the fullness that this present now is offering to you.
Let go of the stories and the identities that the previous year has brought to you because each of those simply came to you in an ever present now.
Remove them from your consciousness and your mind just for now and meet the fullness of the moment with each inhalation.
Meet the fullness of your sacred possibility and opportunity right now.
What if you could meet each moment as if it were new,
Free from the identities of who you've been,
Free from the stories,
The issues,
The questions,
And with each new breath,
Welcoming in a sacred,
Beautiful,
Remarkable expression of you.
This is a practice.
It's not necessarily easy,
But it can be done with practice.
As you continue to breathe deeply and just fill your beautiful sacred body with oxygen and presence,
Understand that as you meet yourself in this way,
You are remarkable,
Magnetic,
And new.
You are not who you were.
You are not who you will be.
You are this beautiful sacred in between right now.
Take a deep breath in with me and through the nose.
Hold the breath and feel the stillness.
You are this.
You are the stillness in between each breath.
Let it go as you're ready.
Here's to an exquisite brand new year and a present,
Peaceful,
Prosperous,
Remarkable,
Sacred,
And beautiful you.
Whenever you're ready,
You're welcome to take one more deep breath in,
Hold it at the top,
Seal in an intention for this new year,
And then exhale.
Let it go.
Give yourself a big hug.
Take peace and open your eyes when you're ready.
Take a deep breath in and out.
