**Sunday Night Meditation Session - I Am Ready.** A gentle start-of-the-year meditation to help you arrive into the year without pressure, expectation, or the need to reinvent yourself. Rather than setting goals or resolutions, this session offers space to settle into your body and begin the year from a place of steadiness, self trust, and quiet clarity. Focusing on readiness, not striving. About recognising that you don’t need to keep working on yourself before you can live this year as yourself. The beginning of a new year doesn’t require a different version of you. It simply meets you where you are. We’ll be lying on the grass beneath the early evening sky in Edinburgh Gardens, allowing nature, breath, and stillness to help the nervous system settle and the body soften as the year gently begins. This session is especially supportive if you’re feeling reflective at the start of the year, tired of self improvement cycles, navigating uncertainty, or sensing that you’re ready to live more honestly and fully without expectations placed on yourself. It’s also a grounding way to orient into the year if you want something calmer and more embodied than the usual “new year” noise. **This session is designed to help you:** • Release pressure and expectations about the year ahead • Settle your nervous system and ground into the present • Let go of striving, fixing, and self correction • Feel steady, supported, and at ease • Step into the year as yourself, without needing to change \*\*\* *“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”* — **Ralph Waldo Emerson** \*\*\* **Session structure:** **We’ll begin with Yoga Nidra, a guided deep rest practice where you simply lie down, get comfortable, and allow your body to soften.** There is nothing to perform or achieve. Remaining still supports the nervous system to drop into deeper rest while I guide awareness gently through the body, helping the mind unwind and the system settle. **From there, we’ll move into a guided visual meditation focused on readiness and self arrival.** Through slow, grounding imagery and gentle hypnotic language, the practice invites a felt sense of stepping into the year as yourself, without expectations, pressure, or the need to become someone new. This part of the session is designed to land by helping the body register trust, presence, and enough-ness rather than effort. No experience is needed. This session is beginner friendly and fully guided from start to finish. **When & Where?** 🗓 Sunday ⏰ 5:00pm - 6:30pm (This is a 1.5 hour Session.) 📍 Edinburgh Gardens, Fitzroy North We’ll set up on the grass near the Rotunda. Look for my yoga mat and the large pink sign that says “Free Guided Meditation.” **Weather Notes.** This is an outdoor session. If the weather turns rainy or unsuitable, I’ll update the event listing beforehand. Please check the Meetup page before heading out. Early evening sessions are often calm and beautiful, but Melbourne weather can always surprise us. **What to bring?** • Yoga mat or something comfortable to lie on. • A light blanket or jumper for the evening air. • Eye covering or small pillow for comfort. • Water. • Comfortable, warm clothing. (If you forget a mat, I’ll have a few spares with me 😊). **Arriving Late.** Arriving a few minutes early helps you settle in and ground before we begin. If you’re running late, please still join, just slip in quietly when you arrive. You won’t disturb the practice 😊 **Everyone is Welcome.** Whether you’re easing into the year, feeling unsure about what’s ahead, or simply wanting a calm and grounding way to begin the months ahead, this space is for you. **\-\-\-\-\-\- Quik** **Update -** This is my last session before I leave for India, I will be back around the end of February and will re-start sessions when I am home. I’ve made an Instagram where I’ll share future meditation updates and things I find grounding. I’ll also post a few moments while I’m in India, if you feel like staying in touch there. **Link : [https://linktr.ee/Captureyourlight**](https://linktr.ee/Captureyourlight**)** **My Meetup Meditation and Yoga Group link - Where I post more regularly:** [https://www.meetup.com/free-mindful-yoga-sessions-melbourne-meetup-group](https://www.meetup.com/free-mindful-yoga-sessions-melbourne-meetup-group) **😊**✨ ------\*\* **I look forward to sharing this session with you 🌿✨** **Kathy.**
