Summary

The transition to a new year can feel like standing at a crossroads, full of potential but also uncertainty. This meditation uses a specific breathing technique to anchor you firmly in the present moment, creating a stable foundation for setting powerful intentions. By focusing on the rhythm of your breath, you'll cultivate a deep sense of inner calm and focus, allowing you to connect with your deepest desires and craft a clear vision for the year ahead. This is a practical and empowering practice to guide your steps forward with confidence and purpose.

This is a BONUS episode offering you a longer, guided meditation. Enjoy!

I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you to the end of one year and the beginning of a brand new year.

0:18.6

In today's episode, you're going to start off in a different way than usual.

0:25.4

This is a series that is a replay that I recorded actually last year for you. And it's going to

0:34.5

start off with a breathing technique. And you'll be introduced to a little prep work.

0:41.2

This is three ways to close out the current year and to usher in the brand new year. So I'll be

through the New Year's Eve and New Year's Day meditations. You also selected a totem, some
