✨ A New Year Integration Ritual ✨

 

Before you reach for what’s next, pause and gather what has already shaped you. Reflect on the lessons of 2025, not as mistakes or achievements, but as lived wisdom. What did this year teach your nervous system? Your boundaries? Your capacity for tenderness, truth, or resilience? Place a hand on your body and name how you are integrating these lessons to nourish your mind, steady your body, and soften your spirit. Then, from this grounded place, feel into your desires for 2026, not as a push toward becoming someone else, but as a natural extension of who you already are. Let your longings be fueled by what you now know, trust, and embody.

This is not about “new year, new you.” Nothing here needs erasing. Each year invites a more integrated, embodied, and authentic expression of you to arise. As we grow and evolve, we do not start over. We deepen. We remember. We arrive more fully in ourselves, carrying the medicine of our lived experience forward with intention and care.

A Simple Integration Ritual for Embodiment

Set aside 5–10 quiet minutes. Sit or stand in a way that feels natural to your body. Place one hand on your heart and one on your belly. Take three slow breaths, letting the exhale be unforced and honest.

Silently name one lesson from 2025 that changed you. Not the loudest lesson, but the truest one. Notice where your body feels that knowing. Allow your breath to soften around it.

Then ask yourself: How does this lesson want to nourish me now? Let one small, tangible action for your mind, body, or spirit come forward. No fixing. No striving.

Finally, bring to mind one desire for 2026. Instead of visualizing outcomes, feel the quality you want to live from. Whisper a simple commitment such as, “I carry this wisdom forward,” or “I let what I’ve learned guide what I’m becoming.” Take one final breath and return to your day, integrated rather than renewed.

🌿 A  Daily Somatic Prompt

As you move through your day, notice when your body feels a quiet sense of yes or no. When that sensation arises, pause and ask: Is this aligned with what I’m integrating from last year, or with what I’m carrying forward? Let your body, not your mind, guide the next small choice.

 

We are here walking the path along side you - feeling, loving, crying, laughing, dancing, praying, and simply being human in all of it's miraculous forms. <3 

 

Cheers to an extraordinary new year! 

 

With Love,

Nichole

  ✨ Come See Us in the Good Light — A Month of Embodied Kindness ✨ There are moments in life when a story touches us so deeply that it rearranges something inside us—quietly but undeniably. The documentary Come See Me in the Good Light is one of those stories. It’s a film about humanity in its rawest, most luminous form: the threads of grief and joy, the ache of being alive, and the extraordina...
November Sadhana
Hello Somatic Friends! I hope you’re enjoying this crisp air and these sunny autumn days! I’ve been loving the cozy evenings — snuggled up by the fire, tapping into my embodied pleasure, and savoring the felt sense of goodness. Lately, my embodied meditation practice has been about finding the subtle goodness within my body and simply allowing myself to be with it. It’s been so sweet to connect...
