Start the new year by dedicating time to reflect, set intentions, and align with your goals. Here’s a simple ritual to foster self-awareness and clarity as you step into a fresh chapter.
What You’ll Need:
- A journal or notebook
- A pen
- A quiet space
- A candle of your choice (Why not try our Clarity Candle, carefully curated to support and strengthen your intentions and manifestations?)
Steps for the ritual
1. Prepare Your Space:
Find a calm, clutter-free space where you won’t be disturbed. Dim the lights and place your candle in the centre of your setup. Take a moment to set an intention for the ritual, such as “I am ready to gain clarity and step into the new year with purpose.” or "I make clear and positive decisions."
2. Light Your Candle:
Light your chosen candle and let its refreshing scent of lemon verbena, sweet orange, and frankincense fill the room. Visualise the warm yellow glow as a source of brightness and focus, helping you clear mental clutter and energise your thoughts.
3. Ground Yourself:
Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths. Inhale the uplifting citrus notes and exhale any lingering negativity or tension. Picture yourself surrounded by the positive energy of the candle's crystals:- Citrine to boost confidence and invite success.
- Tiger’s Eye for clarity, focus, and decision-making.
- Clear Quartz to amplify your intentions and support manifestation.
4. Reflect And Journal:
Open your journal and begin reflecting on these prompts:- Who am I right now? What aspects of my life bring me joy or dissatisfaction?
- What do I desire for the new year? What changes would bring me closer to my ideal self?
- What steps can I take to align with my intentions and create the life I envision?
Write freely, allowing your thoughts to flow without judgment.
5. Set Intentions:
Once you've reflected, write down 1–3 clear intentions for the new year. Be specific and frame them positively, such as “I will prioritise self-care to feel more balanced and energised” or “I will pursue personal growth by dedicating time to learning and new experiences.”
6. Seal Your Intentions:
Spend a few moments visualising your intentions as if they’ve already come to fruition. Feel the emotions of success, happiness, and fulfilment. Speak them aloud if it feels right, and thank yourself for committing to your growth.
7. Close The Ritual:
Extinguish the candle, knowing its energy will continue to support you throughout the new year. Keep your journal nearby to revisit your intentions and track your progress.
