​Today marks the beginning of a new chapter in the United States. Congratulations to President-Elect Joe Biden! To help celebrate this new beginning, I'm putting my meditation below for releasing the old and embracing the new. This meditation is part of the 30 Day Vibration Raising Journey.

A lot going on right now. Deep breath. We got this. 

This little flower was one of the only ones I could find on my hike. I loved it as both a symbol of change and a symbol of strength. With so much already going dormant for winter, there wasn't much color on my hike. The signs of the changings seasons were all around me. 

And as one of the last flowers to brighten us with its color, it's also a sign of resilience. I was surprised and delighted to find this little yellow guy amongst a sea of dry browns and tans. As an added bonus, yellow is a color often associated with hope.

These days, I am feeling hopeful indeed. 

As you sit or stand reading this, notice how your body posture is. Are you hunched forward? Are your shoulders pulled up and tense? Is your face pinched and holding tension? What about your jaw?

Take a moment and try and let some of that tension melt. Breathe into the places you're holding yourself tight and let them unwind. Relax your face and your jaw. Relax your shoulders. Do a couple of neck rolls.

​Finish with one more deep breath. I wish you a wonderful week full of peace, calm, and happiness.
