Have Four Minutes for Meditation." Today we're doing a New Year's meditation, but if you

happen to be watching this on a day that is not New Year's Day, that's okay because every

day is yours to start brand new. First I want to give you a few instructions

on how to set up for meditation. I want you to find a quiet spot. It doesn't have to be

a silent spot. Just get somewhere peaceful and quiet where you won't be distracted or

interrupted. Then find a comfortable place to sit. This

can be on your couch, on a chair, or on the floor on a pillow like me. Find your easy

seat. This can be with one foot in front of the other, one foot in half lotus, or in full

lotus -- whatever is comfortable for you. Meditation is supposed to be easy, so I don't

want you to struggle with your physical posture. Now that you've found your comfortable seat,

I want you to begin by closing your eyes. This will allow you to remove the distractions

out of your line of sight. Then gently place your hands downturned on your knees or upturned

to receive the energy around you. I want you sitting nice and tall, so with

your next inhale, go ahead and breathe your shoulders up to your ears...exhale your shoulder

blades down your spine. Hummmm... One more time. Inhale up to your ears...exhale

down your spine. This will place your shoulder over your hips. Your chin should be parallel

to the floor. And we are ready to meditate. New Year's is a time for renewal, a time for

rebirth. Let us first imagine a white light that will bathe all of the events, struggles,

heartaches, and even victories away. Imagine that white light entering the top of your

head and filling your entire body with goodness as it passes through your face. It fills your

head, your torso, pass your heart, your belly, your hips, down pass your legs and into the

floor. This beautiful white light is filling you

with peace and calm, cleansing you of any worry, regret, frustration, disappointmentl

and again, even happiness and victory attached to memories of the previous year. Today is

our day to start brand new. Continue to pay attention to your breath.

You may hear noise coming in from your environment. That's okay. Allow them to float into your

mind, and then gently push them out like you were batting away a floating balloon.

Use the same method to deal with thoughts that may arise. They float in, and then you

bat them away. At this point, I'd love to give you a New

Year's mantra, an offering, a gift from me to you that I want you to repeat, either out

loud or in your head, as you inhale and exhale: "Whatever I've done, wherever I've been, today

is my day to start brand new..." "Whatever I've done, wherever I've been, today

is my day to start brand new.." "Whatever I've done, wherever I've been, whatever

has been done to me, today is my day to start brand new..."

Continue to repeat that mantra, aloud or silently. Allow it to fill your heart. Allow your breath

to follow the words. You can stay here in meditation, or with your

next inhale, you may open your eyes... And that's it. There's your New Year's meditation.
