Your New Year Reset: Enter 2026 in Your Peace Era | Guided Meditation

Your New Year reset is here, Radiant Icons — and yes, we’re doing it intentionally

In this Tea Time sesh, Amanda is welcoming 2026 with peace, freedom, and a very clear message: if it disrupts your peace, it’s not coming with you. This tea time sesh is part reset, part boundary-setting, and part reminder that you’re allowed to start the year calm and powerful.

Amanda leads a protect-your-peace guided meditation to help you drop last year’s baggage, visualize what you actually want in 2026, and realign with the version of you who doesn’t overexplain, overextend, or entertain what no longer fits.

We’re talking intentional living, energetic boundaries, and choosing yourself without the guilt trip. No hustle reset. No pressure. Just clarity, confidence, and raised standards.

If you’re entering 2026 ready to protect your energy like it’s sacred (because it is) and move differently this year, this one’s for you.

Pour the tea, take a breath, and let this be your sign: peace is the priority — everything else is optional. ✨

Not a list of resolutions, but the

intentions that will guide you.

79

:

Ask yourself, what does

it feel like to live with?

80

Freedom, confidence, and peace.

Notice how this feels in your body.

Let it settle.

Let it anchor you.

:

If you want, grab your journal

later and jot down this intention.

It's a seed you'll nurture all year.

Now, bring to mind anything people,

habits or situations that drain

you see them softly floating

away outside your energy field.

Staying close, protected,

vibrant, silently repeat.
