Meditation for a New Year

A guided meditation for blessing, balancing, and awakening in the new year.

 

New Year Meditation:

Realize, Embody, and Express the Radiance.

The meditation below is our gift to you as a way of opening to the Radiance in this new year.

When the pressure to plan and get going is intense - it is wise to pause and rest in the deep meditative stillness from which life-enriching creativity arises.

This New Year meditation will deepen your capacity to bring Loving Awareness in this fresh cycle.

The New Year period is important, not because there's inherent accuracy in the structure of our calendar, which is primarily a product of culture. But because New Year’s reminds us of a truth that is: All life is cyclical.

There are cycles in existence. 

Whether we consider the calendar year, the movement of day into night, or the motion of the breath -  wherever we look in nature, we find cycles.

Cycles can unfold as merely repetitive patterns.

Repeating what has gone before without any development - or they can be spirals of awakening and rebirth.

  • What allows the cycle to be more than a replaying of the patterns of the past?
  • What allows your next breath to be a breath of renewal?

It all depends on how you meet this moment.

I'd like to suggest for a moment that we let go of goal setting, resolutions, and planning - and instead focus on how we meet this moment.

Let us focus on the quality of consciousness that we bring to this moment and this breath.

The invitation is to gently let go of the past:

  • Releasing personal history and cultural conditioning
  • Opening to gently recognize that you are not your conditioning.

You are loving awareness.

You are of loving awareness and can meet all that arises with radiance, with presence, with blessing.

Whatever conditions may be present in your experience at this moment - as loving awareness - you can meet those conditions with presence and healing grace.

To cultivate loving awareness, we use the mantra Aham Prema meaning I am loving awareness.

As you absorb  mind, heart, and being into the mantra, your attention is released from habitual patterns of the past.

You rest and resonate as loving awareness.

  • When the light of loving awareness shines upon thought, constricted patterns of thought dissolve into pure radiant consciousness.
  • When the warmth of loving awareness touches the knots of emotional patterns, those knots untangle and reveal themselves as pristine, life-enriching energy.
  • When the radiance of loving awareness blesses memories, they are revealed as the meaningful stepping stones that have brought you to this very moment of recognition that you are loving awareness.

Whatever arises gently enfold it, infuse it, embrace it, and release it in loving awareness.

As loving awareness, turn towards this new cycle with an open mind and an undefended heart. Shine the light of loving awareness through this moment and touch the future. 

The warmth of loving awareness will naturally bring forth blessings into the future even as it heals the past.

Wherever you find yourself, in time and space, you are always invited to remember that you are loving awareness.

As you embody that revelation, you are not only  blessed, you also become a blessing - bringing that light,  warmth, and presence into every present moment.

Happy New Year.

We look forward to sharing this next cycle with you.
