Happy Holidays of Light!!
In this week's Monday Morning Meditation (Mmm!), we continue with our annual journey to Welcome the New Year with Jane Elizabeth Hart's "Seven Steps for Releasing the Year" process.
You can find the journaling questions we're using during this December series here:

We are taking this process in five weeks, piggy-backing on the Center for Enlightenment series each week, and doubling up on a few steps in our process.
This week, we are working on Part 4: Good Times and Gratitude--anything, anyone, any situation that you considered a Good Time, and/or are grateful for from this year. Jane Elizabeth suggests looking at photos or listening to specific songs to help jog your memory. I looked through my hard copy calendar from this year and recalled events I had forgotten about! Write them out, and you can use the journaling prompts to help you:
1. How did this year bring new and joyful experiences to your life?
2. Write down specific times that you were especially happy. To jog your memory, look through photo albums, listen to special songs, etc.
3. What are you thankful for regarding this year?
4. What did the year give you?
5. How has this year been important in your life?
Perhaps some Good Times might also bring up situations that fall under previous steps of Disappointments or Difficulties, or even Forgiveness. That's ok--every year is a mixed bag of ups and downs! I go more deeply into this in the video this week--take a look!
You can continue working on all the steps this week so you are ready to release all of it as we turn the corner into the new year whole and free!
Thank you for sharing in this time with me! I am grateful to walk through this process with you!
Happy holidays! See you next week!
