New Year's Ritual with Ceremonial Cacao and Oracle Cards - Intention and a New Beginning

New Year's Ritual - Intention and a New Beginning

The New Year is a wonderful opportunity to reflect, set nourishing intentions for the year, and welcome a new beginning. That's what I want to invite you to do - with this loving and mindful ritual.

But before we can create space and open up for the new - there may be a need to conclude and honor the old. Reflect on and lovingly release what should not be carried forward.

If you haven't yet read last week's blog post - with a New Year's ritual - which focuses precisely on honoring what was and saying goodbye to last year. You can find it here: New Year's Ritual with Ceremonial Cacao & Oracle Cards - goodbye to the year'

For those ready to set intentions and create space for the new

The ritual step-by-step:

1. Create a lovely and nourishing space
Create a calm atmosphere, e.g., with candles, a soft blanket, a comfortable place to sit, possibly a notebook, and your favorite oracle cards if you have any. (Otherwise, you can find inspiration for some of my favorite cards further down in the email.)

2. Make your cacao
Make a cup of ceremonial cacao the way you like it. Already here you can start your ritual by being present, making your cacao with love, slowness, and gratitude.

3. Settle into your space with your cup of cacao: Start by closing your eyes and taking a few deep breaths. Allow yourself to land. Stretch your body and sit in a comfortable position. When you feel ready, you can start drinking your cup of cacao at your own pace. While you drink your cacao, you can feel into what you wish to leave in the old year and what you want to invite into the new.

4. Make use of your notebook & your oracle cards: Let the cacao spirit support you in feeling what feels true for you. Write down the following four questions in your notebook or use the questions as inspiration to create your own:

• What will you carry forward from the past year and bring into this one?
• What do you wish to create more of in this new year? Let them be few but important intentions, and also feel free to write down nourishing actions for each intention, so it fits into your daily life and becomes easier to create throughout the year.
   

Take all the time you need to feel inwards and answer the questions, while drawing cards.

For example, you can draw one card for each question, or you can draw one or more cards for the new year. Do it in a way that feels right and nourishing for you. Remember also that you can always release and change intentions throughout the year - if it turns out not to be nourishing for the life that unfolds 🤎
