You may find that you make the same goals every year. Perhaps they’re what you feel you should want: a better body, improved relationships, more savings. But unless they deeply resonate with you, they’re doomed to fail.
Meditation can help you to achieve your goals by helping you to recognize what you truly want for the year ahead.
Start by lying down. Make yourself as comfortable as possible, perhaps by placing a blanket or a bolster underneath your knees to help soften the lower back.
Notice and welcome your experience, whether you’re feeling agitated and restless, or at peace and calm. Release excess tension through your body and let a deep sense of relaxation permeate your mind.
Once you’ve brought yourself into your mind-body, connect to your heart. Feel what you perceive to be your heart center or the place where you access emotional energy. Settle and breathe there for a few breaths.
Then bring to mind your heart’s deepest desire. Something you want for 2021 but may feel is too big or too ridiculous to say out loud. It may be a wish for health or awakening or a shift in your life.
Don’t feel rushed in exploring your desire but once you obtain it, feel it.
Feel your desire with your whole body. Let yourself settle on the idea as if it were already true, imagining and experiencing it in the present. Stay here for as long as you feel focused on your true self and your true dreams.
Take your time to transition out of the meditation, pausing for a moment to feel grateful for the opportunity to delve into pure awareness.
Then go and fully welcome in the brand new year.
