How to Envision Your Next Chapter
As one chapter closes, you might feel called to slow down, reset, or re-envision what’s next in your life. In the spirit of endings and new beginnings, I recorded a video workshop about "Envisioning" on my NEW YouTube channel, and I'd love to share it with you. Pour a cup of tea and watch the video, or keep reading (below the video) for a step-by-step summary of how to do it.

The Summary:
This is a simple, body-based approach of envisioning, or "embodied dreaming!" It's perfect to use when you're closing any chapter in life, whether it's a year, a month, a season, or a life phase. Release what no longer fits and reconnect with what you truly want — without pressure, forcing, or overthinking. Here are the steps:
1. Create a Small Ritual to Pause
Begin by signaling to your nervous system that it’s safe to slow down. Pour a cup of tea, sit comfortably, and take a few deep breaths. Even two minutes of intentional pause shifts you out of sympathetic "doing mode" and into a receptive listening mode.
Action step: Place one hand on your heart and one on your belly, and take three slow exhales.
2. Ask the Question: “What Do I Want?”
This question may feel surprisingly challenging — and that’s okay. There’s no need to have a polished answer. Simply asking yourself (with an open mind) opens the door to clarity over time.
Action step: Ask yourself, “What do I want?” and notice sensations, emotions, or images rather than words alone.
3. Release One Thing With Gratitude
Before inviting something new in, make space. Choose one thought, belief, habit, role, or expectation you’re ready to release — and acknowledge what it taught you.
Action step: Imagine gently laying this thing to rest, thanking it, and letting it go.
4. Settle Into the Body
Clarity lives in the body, not just the mind. Softening tension allows insight to emerge naturally.
Action step: Scan from feet to head, inviting softness into your legs, hips, belly, shoulders, face, and jaw.
5. Envision the End, Not the Steps
Rather than focusing on how things will happen, imagine that what you desire already exists for you. Envision with the end in mind, not the steps about how you'll get there!
Action step: Feel what it’s like in your body to already be there — to already have the thing you want.
6. Let the Feeling Expand
Visualization doesn’t need to be vivid imagery. A felt sense is enough.
Action step: Place your hands on your heart or pelvis and let the feeling of it being done spread through your body.
7. Release and Trust
Once you’ve connected with your vision, allow it to rest. Over-efforting isn’t required.
Action step: Say quietly to yourself: “Thank you. This or something better for the highest good of all.”
Why This Works
This process blends nervous system regulation, embodied awareness, and intentional reflection. When the body feels safe and grounded, intuition becomes clearer, change feels more sustainable, and miracles flow in!
Return to these steps anytime: at the start of a new year, or whenever something inside you whispers that it’s time for more.
