Gaia Chinniah of Soul33
It is nice to have closure, transition, and new beginnings as we approach the end of the year with a New Year Ritual. As we approach New Year’s Eve, spend some time reflecting on the year that has been and what it has taught you before bringing in the New Year.
We are moving into the year of the seven, which is a lucky and powerful number in many cultures, and what the year seven does offer is potential. Across the board, we all have possibilities coming our way. 2023 is a year of spiritual expansion for all of us – life-changing events to bring you closer to yourself and what matters the most. Areas where we have felt unstable are starting to balance out and our inner wisdom and awareness will give us insight into what to do. Everything has been happening to help us grow.
2023 will help us discover our true self, letting go of a victim mentality and stepping into the beauty your life has to offer.
Seven-step releasing ritual
First, we want to be aware of what has happened for us this year. Take your journal or a piece of paper and ask yourself:
- What area of your life have you worked on and not yet received the outcome you want?
- What emotion did you spend most of the year feeling?
- What was the highlight of 2022?
- What was a significant lesson learned?
- What event triggered negative thoughts or patterns that you need to release?
- Where did you feel stuck?
- What fears came up for you in 2022?
With the acknowledgement of the above, it’s time to cleanse away the lessons learned and the experiences that don’t serve you. As you review your answers, focus on the answer to be released and use sage smoke or a palo santo smudge stick and clear away the words of what you have written by casting the smoke over the and visualising the slate clearing.
You may also want to walk around your house after clearing, and starting at the front door, smoking every corner of your house, clearing away what does not serve you from 2022.
When you have completed your house clearing, open all the windows and doors allow the energy to leave, place your hand on your heart with your eyes closed and repeat three times
“I have learned what I needed to, and I now release the old to bring in the new”
After that sit back down and write the answers to these seven questions:
Seven-step New Year alignment
- Where do you want a new beginning in your life?
- How do you want to express yourself in 2023?
- What possibilities do you want to explore?
- How do you want to feel?
- Which areas of your life do you want to spend your time? Break this down in order of most amount of time to least.
- How will you show yourself self-love?
- What will you do to heal yourself?
Becoming clear about what we learned in the last year, and what we want for the New Year ahead helps to release stuck energy as well as create understanding and reminders for you to reference.
A little extra if you’re inclined that way
On New Year’s Eve, you may also want to change your sheets, trim your hair, clean your house, and prepare for New Years Day. We want to allow your energy to receive the energy of the new by clearing out the old the day before.
