Welcome beautiful soul to this guided meditation which is designed to help you reflect on the past year and help you prepare for the year ahead So find a comfortable position,

Either sitting or lying down And gently close your eyes,

Take a deep breath in through your nose and slowly exhale through your mouth Releasing any tension or distractions from your mind,

Just focusing on deep belly breathing And don't be afraid to make an audible sigh,

Allowing yourself to open up your throat chakra And again,

Releasing any tension that has been stored in the body And whilst you are focusing your attention on your breath,

Allow yourself to be guided into a state of deep relaxation Feel the air enter your lungs,

Filling you with calm and exhale any tension or stress that you may be holding onto And with each breath you are going deeper into this practice,

Allowing your body to fully soften And at the same time you are fully arriving in this moment,

Whilst you are just noticing what it's like to be fully present with yourself right now Relax your jaw,

Your neck and your shoulders And within this moment,

Just check in with your heart to see how your heart is doing today What one word comes up for you instantly,

Or perhaps it is multiple words Just breathe into that sensation and give it the right to exist Now let's turn our attention to the year that has passed I'm going to ask you a few questions and without overthinking it,

Just allow whatever answer comes to mind first I invite you to not judge any reflections,

Just simply observe what is alive for you right now Taking a deep breath in And the first question that I'll ask you is to tap into any memories that you have experienced this past year What were the significant moments?

Can you see them?

Can you envision it?

Can you bring yourself back to those moments that have happened over the past 12 months?

What were some of the things that were really standing out for you,

That made this year so special and significant?

And then I want you to reflect on the challenges that you have overcome this year Reflect on the lessons that you have learned Again,

When you are reflecting on those significant moments that occurred,

Both positively and negatively But what are the biggest takeaways and lessons that you have learned over the past couple of 12 months?

And as you're visualizing,

Don't forget to keep breathing deeply Breathing to your belly Breathing into your heart space And just welcoming anything that wants to come up right now And then I want you to ask yourself What are the things that I can truly celebrate myself for this year?

What is it that I'm really proud of?

Can you visualize the things that you have achieved this year?

The milestones and incredible achievements that have brought you so much joy And when I'm talking about achievements,

I'm talking about the tangible ones and the intangible ones What do you consider to be a true victory this year?

No matter how small or big it is,

Just allow it to be there and just celebrate yourself in this moment And as you are taking a moment to honor your journey I want you to recognize the growth that you have experienced Both in your personal life and in your business Feel the gratitude for the progress that you've made and the person you've become Because you are not the same person you were 12 months ago when you started this year Acknowledge the people who have supported you along the way and deserve a special place in your heart Who comes to mind when you hear me say this?

Is it one particular person?

Or two?

Or maybe more?

What names do you see in your mind's eye?

Or maybe it's faces?

But can you feel the deep,

Deep love and gratitude for what they have contributed to your life this year?

And what made this year so incredibly special for you because of them?

Visualize a golden warm light around your heart space Just sending all the love and the warmth to those particular people that come to mind Feeling so much gratitude for them,

Sending them so much warmth Because they have really touched you this year and they have made this year so incredibly beautiful for you So just allow yourself to be with that gratitude for a moment And now I want you to reflect on the things that you are ready to let go of What no longer serves you?

What are you ready to release to make room for new growth?

Honor these parts of your journey and consciously choose to leave them behind So you can start afresh as you are stepping in this new year Just visualize yourself cutting ties with all the things that are no longer serving you Whether it is situations or people or relationships or any work related stuff Allow yourself to set yourself free within this moment Creating that energetic boundary and then releasing it with so much love and gratitude Now let's prepare to welcome in the next 12 months What is one main thing that you want to focus on?

Visualize it in your mind's eye what the year ahead will look like Can you see yourself stepping into the next level version of you That is full of happiness and joy and gratitude and lives a life full of abundance Remember there are no limitations,

Really allow yourself to dream in all its possibilities And all its potential and glory And just step into that sensation of how do you feel?

How do you want to feel throughout the next year?

What do you desire to embody?

What does that next level version of you look like?

What are your goals for this new year?

Try to visualize it in numbers or photos or sensations or particular words that are coming up for you What is it that you deeply desire and you are ready to call into your life?

Think about your relationships,

What kind of partnership do you desire?

Whether you are single or calling in your divine partner Just visualize this dream relationship in vivid detail Think about the connection,

The intimacy,

The depth,

The safety that you experience with this other person Really the beautiful support and love that you get to give and receive And then turn your attention to your financial goals How much money do you want to make?

Visualize your bank account with the desired amount Feel the security and freedom it brings Whatever number comes up,

That is the right number So allow yourself to tap into that sensation of abundance And claiming it because you deserve to live a life full of abundance And then I want you to consider your business aspirations What milestones do you want to achieve in the next 12 months?

Be really concrete and specific here Visualizing yourself 12 months away from now Where you are celebrating your successes and your achievements and your milestones And all the things that you have been dreaming about for so long is now all coming to fruition So tap into that sensation of joy and fulfillment Now imagine where you want to live What does your ideal home look like?

Whether that means that you want to move or you want to stay wherever you are right now But how can you turn this beautiful home into a sanctuary?

Into a womb space where you feel so at home and so safe Picture it in as much detail as you can Feeling the comfort and happiness it provides And now reflect on the clothes that you want to purchase Visualize yourself wearing these clothes Feeling so confident and beautiful It feels like you 100% and it feels so authentic And you are so proud of yourself and how you look and move through life Just visualize for a moment how you desire to look Not only physically but also the radiance on your face And when people look at you they feel inspired and they feel a sense of joy Because you have such beautiful contagious energy And people just want to be around you And then lastly I want you to consider the NGOs that you want to support this year What are some of the projects that you truly believe in and that you want to contribute to So feel that satisfaction of making a difference Of contributing to causes that are deeply meaningful to you Now take a moment to offer a prayer of gratitude Thank the universe for the year that has passed and the year that is to come Thank yourself for your resilience,

For your growth and for your courage Take a deep breath in Filling yourself up with this energy of anticipation and success And as you exhale release any doubts or fears Just knowing that you are on the right path and that you are deserving of all of this and so much more Knowing that you are so divinely supported and held Taking a last deep breath in,

Placing both hands on top of your heart And slowly start to come back to your physical surroundings Wiggle your toes and your fingers Feel the surface beneath you Take one more deep breath in and just hold it for a moment And then gently exhale Carrying this feeling of readiness with you as you open your eyes Remember my love,

You are a powerful creator You are deserving of success,

Of abundance and of love So carry this truth with you as you step into the new year Ready to manifest your dreams and become the person you desire to be I invite you to keep reflecting on this past year and on your future goals So grab a journal and allow yourself to write whatever wants to come true So you can expand on this matter And don't forget to speak your goals and desires out loud Declare them to the universe as this is a way to let the universe know that you are ready to receive To feel the power of your words and of your intention Thank you for being here with me Namaste
