Before the year turns, pause for a moment.

This short meditation is an invitation to create space, to soften, and to let something warm and supportive meet you right where you are without effort or pressure.

On New Year’s Eve, this is your moment to step out of the noise and into something calmer.

In this quiet space between Christmas and the new year, when life slows just enough to notice the edges, how often do you let yourself simply be? These days can hold calm, fatigue, reflection and the fading glow of the season all at once. This week invites you to rest in the in between, without rushing forward, without reaching back, just settling into the gentle pause that’s here now.

Finding a comfortable position, closing your eyes or softening your gaze.

Notice your breath as it moves in and out.

Begin to deepen the inhale, letting it fill the ribcage.

Then release it slowly, feeling your whole body sink a little more with the exhale.

Continue at a gentle pace, allowing the breath to ground you.

With each exhale, let go of any remaining busyness from the past weeks.

With each inhale, welcome space, even if it’s quiet or subtle.

Stay here for a minute or two, breathing into this sense of pause.

What would it feel like to enter the New Year from a place of rest rather than urgency?

Before the rush, the wrapping, the expectations, pause with me for a moment.

Take one gentle breath and bring to mind one thing you are thankful for today. Nothing big or impressive. Just something real.

Gratitude does not have to be loud or perfect. Sometimes it is simply noticing what is already here, quietly supporting you.

On this Christmas Eve, let this be your moment to soften, breathe, and remember what matters.

What is one thing you feel thankful for right now?

As December fills with celebration, connection and colour, the days can feel rich in the best of ways and full in ways that tug at your energy. This week is about finding calm inside the fullness. Soft pockets of ease woven into a season that can be both joyful and busy. A reminder that you can enjoy the movement around you while still returning to your own steady centre.

Finding a comfortable position, closing your eyes or softening your gaze.

Direct your awareness to your breath. Breathe in slowly through the nose, letting the chest widen gently.

Breathe out with a soft, steady release.

Allow the exhale to lengthen a little more each time. Feel your upper body easing as the breath settles.

Bring your attention to the stillness you’ve cultivated throughout December, however subtle it may feel.

Picture yourself moving through the coming days with that calm at your centre.

Rest here for a minute or two.

What part of your grounding practice will you carry with you into this week?

What if calm was already here, quietly waiting for you to notice it?

Take a moment and gently bring your attention to your little finger. Feel its weight, its warmth, the simple fact of being here. Nothing needs fixing. No tension needs forcing away. Peace is not something you create, it is something you remember.

As you focus on something so small, notice how the noise softens and the mind settles on its own.

What changes when you stop searching for peace and simply let yourself find it?

We’re halfway through December now, and it’s easy to find yourself giving more than you have to spare. The expectations, the invitations, the “shoulds”, they stack up quickly. This week, we shift the focus to you. To what nourishes rather than drains. To the power of choosing where your time, your attention and your energy go.

Finding a comfortable position, closing your eyes or softening your gaze.

Bring awareness to the natural rhythm of your breathing.

Notice the breath entering cool and leaving warm.

Begin to lengthen the exhale slightly, allowing the body to release more with each breath.

Let the belly soften as you breathe.

Feel your attention shifting from the rush outside to the steadiness within.

Imagine your stillness settling through you like soft snowfall, quiet and unhurried.

Stay with this for a few minutes, letting stillness become more familiar.

When have you surprised yourself with a moment of steadiness despite everything going on?

Take a moment with me. Before the day pulls you in ten different directions, pause. Notice how you are actually doing beneath the surface. Not the quick “I’m fine” you offer the world, but the real, quiet truth sitting in your body.

What did you notice when you gave yourself this moment?

Christmas parties, nativities, present shopping… the season is gathering speed. And yet, even in the rush, there are flickers of quiet that break through when you least expect them. This week is about returning to those small moments of calm, noticing them, naming them, letting them steady you as everything else continues to move.

Find a comfortable position, closing your eyes or softening your gaze.

Begin by bringing your attention to the breath.

Take a slow, steady inhale through the nose, and a longer exhale out through the mouth.

Let your shoulders drop with the out breath.

Stay with this gentle rhythm, letting each round of breath signal to your body that it can soften.

Bring to mind a moment from last week when you felt grounded or peaceful. Hold that sensation lightly as you breathe.

If thoughts drift to lists or expectations, guide your attention back to the breath, then to that grounded moment.

Rest here for a minute or two.

What helped you feel even the smallest sense of calm in the past week?

Take a moment with me to pause in the middle of the rush. When everything feels loud and hurried, a single slow breath can bring you back to yourself. A quiet inhale. A steady exhale. A reminder that you can return to stillness even when life is full.

How might your day feel different if you gave yourself these small moments of space?

What would you love next year’s meditations to focus on?
As we look ahead, I’m planning themes and practices that genuinely support you, whether that’s easing stress, finding calm in busy moments, improving sleep or deepening self compassion.

I’d really love to know, what topics or themes would help you most in the coming year?

December arrives with its familiar rush, and suddenly life feels louder, fuller, faster. Before the pace takes over, this is your moment to pause. A chance to step into the season with awareness rather than on autopilot. Let’s begin by making a little space, enough for us to land in the now.

Finding a comfortable position, closing the eyes or softening the gaze.

Bringing the attention to the breath.

Notice the inhale as it enters through the nose, and then the gentle release of the exhale.

Begin to deepen each breath, if it helps inhale for a count of four and then exhale for a count of four.

Let the breath guide your body into softness, with each exhale allowing yourself to relax.

Let thoughts appear and drift away. Imagine them moving past like the wind, soft and untouchable.

Rest here for some time, allowing the breath to steady you. Free and at peace.

As we head into this busy season, when can you carve out a small pocket of calm?
