As the final days of the year unfold, we pause to reflect with gratitude on what has been and to welcome the quiet renewal that comes with winter’s embrace. This is a time to honor the stillness, to release what no longer serves us, and to prepare our spirits for the light ahead.

Sit comfortably and close your eyes. Take a deep breath, feeling the air fill your lungs, then exhale slowly.

"Bíodh gach anáil mar nasc leis an saol nádúrtha."(Let each breath be a connection to the natural world.)

Feel your body relaxing, your mind calming, and your spirit settling into the moment.

Call upon the energies of renewal:"A Spioraid an Nua, glan ár n-intinn agus ullmhaigh ár gcroí don bhliain atá le teacht."(Spirit of the New, cleanse our minds and prepare our hearts for the year to come.)

Feel the presence of this energy, soft yet powerful, like a winter breeze that clears the air.

Today, reflect on what this year has brought you—the challenges, the joys, the lessons. Whisper to yourself:"Táim buíoch as an méid atá foghlamtha agam i mbliana."(I am grateful for all I have learned this year.)

Now think of what you are ready to release. Perhaps it’s a fear, a doubt, or an old pattern that no longer serves your growth. Recognize it, then let it go.

"Ligim amach an méid nach bhfuil ag freastal orm a thuilleadh."(I release what no longer serves me.)

Imagine yourself walking along a snowy path, cosán sneachta, through a quiet winter forest. The air is crisp, the world around you calm and still. In your hand, you carry a small lantern, lampa, its light a symbol of your inner strength and wisdom.

As you walk, the snow reflects the glow of the lantern, making the path ahead clearer. With each step, you feel lighter, leaving behind what weighs you down. The forest seems to hum with quiet encouragement, offering its support.

Reach a clearing where the winter sun peeks through the clouds. Whisper:"Glacaim leis an solas nua, agus tá mé réidh le tosú úr."(I embrace the new light and am ready for a fresh start.)

Stand still in the clearing, basking in the sunlight, feeling a sense of renewal and possibility.

As the year winds down, may you find peace in reflection, gratitude in what has been, and courage for what lies ahead.

"Go dtabharfaidh an dúlra agus an solas neart duit sa todhchaí."(May nature and the light give you strength in the days ahead.)

Open your eyes and take a deep breath. Walk into the day with calm, gratitude, and the light of renewal.

"Beannachtaí na Bliana Nua ort agus go maire tú i gcompord."(Blessings of the New Year upon you, and may you dwell in peace.)
