Hello—
Happy New Year! 🎈🎉🎊🍾🥂❤️🌈
Are you easing into it? or have you already hit the ground running?
There can be this notion that at the stroke of midnight, any and all shifts that we've been planning immediately fall into place. Over the years, I've settled into the reality that it takes a few weeks for the year to gain traction and fall into its own rhythm.
That gives us a bit of time to reset Our Selves and gently move forward instead of slamming into yet another year of expectations and demands.
To that end, here's a ritual to support that transition and a simple practice for taking care of your voice.
"Three Candles" (2:20)—As we’re beginning the new year, this is an adaptable ritual that not only honors the passage of time but also the moments yet to be. (YouTube Link or Facebook Link).
"Use Your Voice" (2:14)—Let’s borrow an exercise from professional singers and bring it into our day to day practice. (YouTube Link or Facebook Link).
Did you mark the new year with a ritual? And just how well do you take care of your voice? Feel free to share your insights with us by commenting on either video.
And once you've screened these replays, check out some of my other SwaffWords© on the art of Listening with your Bodymind. All videos can be found on either on my YouTube Channel or in my Facebook Video Library. They're a great way to have a quick "mini session" with me—in about 3 minutes or less. Click on a topic that speaks to you, then just watch, learn, and practice.
Do you have a friend or colleague who'd appreciate receiving these weekly SwaffWords© directly to their inbox? If so, they can subscribe here.
Are you interested in learning more about my style? There are several ways to do that:
You'll find like-minded people in my Facebook community , which offers posts, prompts and reminders for your ongoing
practice.
Rapid Bodymind Clarity reflects my "cut to the chase" approach and the profound impact it can have on you life.
Or let's chat. We can begin a conversation either through my site or via email.
In the meantime, may you honor the transition from last year to this one in a way that matters to you, while making sure to take special care of your voice.
Here's to you and all this new year has to offer.
May we live our blessings and mine our riches.
Thanks much.
Until next time—
Cheers,
Steph
