Summary
It's the final day of the year. For today's meditation, you're invited to take part in a special fire ceremony. You have several options to do the meditation. 1) You can mentally visualize a fire within yourself. 2) Or, you may use the flame of a burning candle, or a burning smudge stick contained within a fireproof container or a burning log within a fire pit. Please do this meditation outside, especially if you are creating any flames. It's important to have a large pitcher of water nearby to douse any flames. Make sure you light a fire safely.
MATERIALS FOR A NEW YEAR'S EVE FIRE CEREMONY:
Strips of paper to write on
Pen or pencil to write with
A fireproof container, candle, or firepit
Matches
Smudge stick
Pitcher of water for safety
*** Please do this meditation outside safely in an area that is free from any flammable materials.

| 0:00.0 | This is episode 2,507 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:07.4 | I'm Mary Mechley and I welcome you to a closure meditation as you celebrate the final day of the year. |
| 0:21.5 | As you get ready to do today's meditation, I invite you to pause this episode and gather a few materials that will make this meditation extra meaningful. |
| 0:36.0 | You don't have to do this because you could simply visualize the steps I guide you through as you put closure on the year. |
| 0:44.0 | But if you'd like to take part in a fire ceremony, I encourage you to gather a few pieces of paper. |
| 0:53.0 | You could even take one piece of paper and tear it into strips, a pen or pencil. |
| 1:01.0 | And if you have some kind of fireproof bowl or even a metal pan, I often line the metal bowl or pan with aluminum foil. |
| 1:15.0 | I encourage you to do this outside as well. Also, you might have a fire pit or you could use one candle. |
| 1:27.0 | Again, I encourage you to do this meditation outside, somewhere safe where you're not likely to catch anything on fire other than the strips of paper. |
| 1:38.0 | You'll be burning as you are guided through today's special closure meditation. |
| 1:46.0 | You'll also need matches and a picture of water just in case you might need it to put the fire out. |
| 1:57.0 | Again, you can do this meditation modified where you don't actually light a fire. |
| 2:04.0 | And if so, you could simply visualize the fire ceremony within your mind or you could take part where you write down a few things. |
| 2:16.0 | You'll be putting closure on the paper without burning it. So you have lots of choices. |
| 2:23.0 | Now, as you do this meditation, I mentioned if you could do it outside, that is the best. |
| 2:31.0 | When you meditate outside, whether it's cold or maybe hot, if you live in the southern hemisphere, it brings an extra measure of groundedness as you meditate. |
| 2:48.0 | So you may go ahead and pause this episode and you can gather your supplies or continue right along and settle yourself down to meditate. |
| 3:01.0 | As you sit up straight, close your eyes for a moment and just notice how you're feeling right now. |
| 3:15.0 | Notice where you are. |
| 3:22.0 | Feel grounded and connected to the space you've chosen to meditate. |
| 3:31.0 | Feel grateful for this space. Feel grateful for this time. |
| 3:46.0 | Now begin to reflect back over this year. It's the final day of the year. |
