With the Lunar New Year festival ending on this coming full moon (and the recent flipping over into the new Gregorian year of 2025), I’ve been reflecting on new beginnings – on inviting the new and on releasing the old. And the truth is that we don’t meed a new calendar year – or any specific day or milestone, for that matter – to start afresh.
New chapters and a “new you” can come at any moment (or, in every moment) you choose! With each inhale, we can call in the new and breathe life into our intention; with each exhale, we can farewell what is no longer serving us, and what we have outgrown. This is how I aspire to live, bringing my presence and awareness to each moment, so that I can consciously choose what I am creating within me and within my reality (it’s a work in progress!).
We all have the power within to make any moment (or every living moment) a ceremony – a portal to the future.
With every breath we take, we draw in Qi from the cosmos, and we can also choose to call back our energy – our focus, emotion, ties, attention and energetic investment – from anything that does not serve our highest expression.
With every exhale, we release something of ourselves into the world, and so we can also let go of what we’ve outgrown – beliefs, thoughts, habits, well-worn emotions – or what is weighing us down.
With every word that we speak (or think!), we shape our reality and our experience of it. We state what is possible, and what we are calling in.
With every thought that we think, we broadcast our intention into our world and our reality, shaping our experience – thought by thought.
With the emotions that we feel, we can magnetise experiences and perceptions that are an energetic match for that emotion.
You are so powerful and each moment is an opportunity to bring your presence & awareness to what you are creating. The more that we hone our awareness and witness what we are rippling out into the world, the more we remember and reconnect to the creative force within us all. We all have this power to co-create our reality, our health, our lived experience. So what are you creating today?
