Welcome
Thank you everyone for joining as we set free
2023, and welcome the New Year with loving intentions. I invite you to either
gaze into the aura of the fire OR close your eyes as we ground ourselves.
Grounding
Breathing through our noses, take a 4 second deep
breathe in. 1...2...3...4...
Breathe out with a sigh. Another deep breath in
for 4 seconds, and out for 6. 1...2...3...4...5...6... Keep breathing as you
envision and listen. Feel the warmth of the fires glow on your skin. Let it
guide your attention down your body as we breathe. Feel the warmth on your
face, letting the fire’s energy cleanse the stress away from your eyes and
head. Soften your gaze as you watch the dancing flames and focus on the glow,
just outside of the flames. Relax your neck and shoulders, letting the warmth
ease any tension in your body. Imagine the warmth sweeps down your arms to your
fingertips. You may reach out to warm your hands if you’d like. The heat
cleanses and restores power to our hands of creation. The warmth cascades down
your spine, easing down your body with gentle relaxation. Let it pass through
or let it linger anywhere that needs extra attention and love. As it passes
through the base of our spines, let it connect us to the Earth, traveling down
through our feet and into the ground. Let it take any lingering negative energy
that you may have picked up during the day, and anything that does not serve
you anymore. You are protected. You are safe. You are powerful. You are loved.
You are connected. Take a moment to feel these affirmations. Open your eyes
whenever you’re ready. I would like everyone to reflect on the year. Write down
1-3 memories or blessings that brought you joy or happiness for in 2023.
We will move around the group sharing whatever we
feel comfortable sharing, starting in the North. After you share, take a moment
to feel deep gratitude and thanks for these blessings.
In order to create new energy in the coming year,
we must release what has held us back from our goals and growth in the past.
Take this time to reflect on what you would like the Universe to take the lead
in removing from your life or help to break through to move forward. The fears
that hold you back, the struggles and cycles you are repeating, the limiting
beliefs you have, anything that burdens you. Let it go into the fire. Write
these down on the small slip of paper and fold it away from you. We will all
throw it in the flame together once everyone is finished.
Now everyone may gently place their paper into the
flames. Please read along with me, the slip of paper that is labeled “All
together” with the intention of fully letting go of these blockages into the
flame.
(All together)
I release these worries to the Universe to be
lovingly changed into solutions and
blessings in the New Year. Thank you, Universe for
releasing me of any burdens that I carry, so that I may step into the New Year
with a clear mind, body and spirit; and to make space for all my new blessings
to be welcomed into my life. So, Mote it be.
As we watch the burdens we no longer carry, be
transformed, we invite the balance of energies needed to create a loving and
powerful year.
In the North, we add frankincense for its
protective qualities and self-control to keep us focused on our paths for 2024.
In the East, Thyme is added for good luck to be
infused into whatever we choose this coming year.
The Sunflower in the South, brings in our wishes
and power to keep us going strong.
The Skullcap in the West brings harmony and peace
among us and our families.
We honor the elements that kept us grounded,
breathing, warm, and hydrated throughout the year with these offerings to the
Universe for the highest good.
Blessed be.
Begin to welcome the new blessings that 2024 holds
for us all, by writing down any wishes, goals, intentions, or drawings of what
you may need. Create a little vision board of doodles if you would like. Add
positive energy through your pencil, knowing you can have whatever you desire
as long as you believe you deserve it.
Keep this paper around where you can see it
throughout 2024. You may choose to share your goals or decide to keep building
on this list for our planning session coming up in January. You may use your
pencil as a wand and envision sending the energy created tonight, out to the Universe.
Imagine a beam of light coming from both ends of the pencil and entering the
Earth below, and the atmosphere above. The Universe collects your intentions
and the powerful beam swiftly sends it to the life Source where it shall grow
like a flower, blooming throughout 2024. Thank you, Universal energy and
elements that surround each of us every day, for your blessings through love
always. Our work is done. So, Mote it be.
