We love angel numbers for their unique messages and the powerful frequencies they carry! Each year carries a different numeric vibration. 2026 is number One. We reach this number by adding the digits of the year.
2 + 0 + 2+ 6 = 10
Then breakdown 1+0 = 1
Year One carries the energy of creation, renewal, and forward momentum. It's an invitation to start a new path, plant the seeds for long term intentions, and step into your power. When you align yourself with the energy of One, the Universe supports your movement and clears the way for inspired action.
As we step into the Year One cycle, you may notice angel numbers appearing more frequently, especially the 111 sequence. This is an angelic reminder that you are on the right path and your angels are guiding you. You are manifesting your intentions and bringing your dreams into your reality. These synchronicities serve as gentle reminders, affirming that you're moving in the right direction even if the path feels uncertain. In Angel Numbers, Kyle Gray describes number One as "The universal life-force within you is calling for your attention". And number 111 as, "You are one with all that is. Know that all you are doing and giving is for the world and all the beings in it."
In this year of awakening, a quiet yet powerful realization is emerging. In the past year, we've worked on shedding old versions of ourselves and put our trust in our true soul expression. Those moments of release and reflection have quietly prepared us for what comes next. As we enter Year One, we are invited to initiate, create, and step boldly into the life we are ready to build.
Activating Year One Energy
As 2026 invites you to step into your power, trust your inner voice, and begin with clarity and intention. Year One is your year to initiate, create, and forge the path you've been envisioning!
Everyone also has access to their own unique personal year number. Check out this post to calculate yours!
As 2025 comes to a close and we move into the energy of 2026, we're reminded of the lessons, challenges, and growth from the past year. The end of the calendar year is more than just a symbolic milestone. It's an opportunity to release energetic weight and move forward with clarity, purpose, and empowerment.
One of our favorite elements to transmute energy is fire. Fire illuminates truth, burns through stagnation, and creates space for new life. When we work intentionally with the fire element, we consciously choose to release the dark so we can bring in Light.
This simple energetic releasing ceremony can be at the end of the calendar year or whenever you're called to begin a new chapter. All you need is presence, intention, and an open heart!
Fire Releasing Ceremony
Gather the following items:
Create Your Sacred Space
Begin by grounding yourself. Using your favorite cleansing tool, smudge the room or outdoor area and your auric field. Holding your hands in prayer position at your heart space, call in your guides, spiritual team, archangels, or ancestors. Offer them gratitude for their guidance and support in 2025. With your energy centered, set up your fire source, place the crystals near you, and apply a few drops of essential oils to your pulse points and auric field.
Reflect on 2025
Take a moment to look back at 2025 without judgement and ask yourself the following questions:
What patterns or beliefs kept me small?
What relationships, habits or stories are no longer aligned with who I am becoming?
What choices or situations felt heavy or misaligned with my core values?
What emotions or experiences am I still holding onto that feel unfinished or unresolved?
Where did I dim my voice or my truth this year?
What habits no longer support my growth or wellbeing?
What dreams or goals no longer align with who I'm becoming?
What can I release to make space for the person I want to become in 2026?
Write your thoughts on separate slips of paper.
Flame Offering
Holding each slip of paper, speak aloud or silently:
"I honor these lessons and I am ready to release and transmute this energy"
Place the paper in the fire and watch it burn. As the flame consumes each piece, visualize that energy dissolving from your field, clearing space for new growth.
Gratitude
Once the papers have burned, extinguish your flame and give gratitude to the fire element for its assistance.
As you step into 2026, let this releasing ceremony remind you that you have choices, you can rewrite a new chapter, and you have made space to begin again.
In a season that can sometimes feel too busy or commercialized, it's easy to forget that at its core, this time of year is about universal Love, unity, and connection. No matter where we are on Christmas Day or how we spend the day, there's comfort in knowing that people are taking part in their own quiet acts of compassion and gratitude. Small, intentional acts such as sharing meals or sending heartfelt messages to loved ones create an invisible thread that ties us together.
You may feel called today to reflect on unity and connection. When we choose to see beyond differences and recognize our shared humanity, the meaning of the day expands. Stripped of the usual customs and consumerism, Christmas becomes a universal reminder that we are all here together, for each other.
As you move through the day, you may find it meaningful to pause and check in with your heart. These gentle reflections are here to help you explore what unity, compassion, and meaningful connection look like in your life right now.
"Who in my life has shown up for me this year, and how can I acknowledge or nurture that connection?"
"Where might I be holding back from meaningful connection, and what small step could help me open that door?"
"What does "belonging" mean to me, and where do I feel most connected or supported?"
"What conversations, gestures, or actions help me feel closer to the people I care about?"
"Which relationships feel aligned and nourishing right now, and how can I invest in them more mindfully?"
"In what ways can I practice compassion more intentionally towards others and myself?"
As you carry the energy of unity and connection into the days ahead, let compassion and Love guide your actions. Reach out where connection feels ready to be renewed, stay open to meaningful moments, and remember that even small gestures can help the world feel more supportive and nurturing.
This time of year gently invites us to slow down, reflect, and hold a little extra gratitude in our hearts. We are so deeply thankful for this beautiful community and for each of you who continues to support, inspire, and walk this journey with us. May your holidays be filled with peace, love, meaningful moments, and a little sparkle along the way. We’re sending our warmest wishes for a New Year filled with intention, abundance, and light.
With so much love and gratitude,
Laurie, Djuro, and the Angelic Roots family
Tibetan singing bowls' deep, shimmering tones are more than beautiful sounds, they're a living, vibrating reminder of harmony and presence. Whether used for meditation, energy healing sessions, or sound baths, they offer a gentle doorway into inner stillness and energetic alignment.
Tibetan singing bowls can be machine made or hand-hammered. When hand-crafted, the metals are heated, hand-hammered, and shaped through repeated rounds of firing and forging. Each hammer strike infuses intention and structure, creating bowls that are unique in tone, resonance, and character.
When a bowl is rung or played around the rim, it emits a blend of frequencies. These tones are known to:
There are many ways to bring singing bowls into your daily practice. You don't need to be a sound or energy healer to reap their benefits - you only need presence and intention.
Working with Your Singing Bowl
When choosing a bowl, trust both your intuition and your ear. Holding the bowl flat in your hand or on a cushion pillow, gently strike the rim with a mallet appropriate for the bowl, to awaken its tone. Slowly guide the mallet around the outer edge with steady, even pressure. As the vibration builds, the sound will expand into a sustained hum. Check out this 35 second Singing Bowl Sound Bath with Djuro as he demonstrates.
Quiet your mind and feel the vibration in your physical body. Consider how the bowl makes you feel. Do you feel calm, grounded, and uplifted? Can you feel a connection within your body? Allow the bowl to choose you as much as you choose it.
See our blog "Djuro's Tips for Caring for Your Sound Vibrational Instruments" for more information on the care and maintenance of your Tibetan singing bowl.
Tibetan singing bowls offer more than sound. They teach presence, patience, and the art of attunement. Whether you're just discovering singing bowls or deepening your practice, their soothing tones can become a beautiful companion on your spiritual journey!
If you followed our blog and prepared an Alchemy Box earlier this year or attended one of our New Year Intentions Workshops, now is the time of year, during the Winter Solstice, to open your box. It's so exciting to witness what has been transforming throughout the year. This is a chance to see your intentions, dreams, and inner work!
Alchemy Box Opening
Move through the following steps to discover the growth, clarity, and insights waiting to be revealed.
Find a quiet space where you are allowed time to yourself. Using palo santo, sage, incense, or an herb of your choice cleanse yourself and your space. If you'd like, apply an essential oil with a carrier oil on the bottom of your feet or in your auric field. Take in long, deep cleansing breaths to center your energy. If you have a candle or crystals that you would like to use, now would be the time to set them out in any way you feel called.

Each chakra is vibrates at its own unique frequency. These frequencies resonate with certain musical notes, making sound healing a powerful tool for chakra balancing. Whether playing singing bowls or listening to instrumental music, it offers a bridge to harmonize our chakras from Root to Crown. Understanding these correlations opens the door to deeper healing, personal transformation, and alignment with our highest good.
To work with your chakras, use this guide when playing or choosing singing bowls or listening to sound healing on apps such as Insight Timer. Repeat the affirmations to enhance your experience.
Root Chakra: C note
Our Root Chakra is our foundation, helping us to remain grounded, connecting into Mother Earth for stability, and encourage feelings of security.
"I am safe and supported."
Sacral Chakra: D note
Responsible for deep emotions and creativity, a balanced Sacral Chakra means we can tap deep into the collective consciousness and nurture healthy relationships with ourselves and others.
"I release self-doubt and embrace my inner fire."
Solar Plexus Chakra: E note
The Solar Plexus Chakra governs our self-esteem, personal power, and sense of purpose.
"I am powerful and trust myself."
Heart Chakra: F note
The center of the chakras, the Heart is a sacred energy gateway bringing in and holding love and compassion.
"I give and receive love freely."
Throat Chakra: G note
Not only does a balanced Throat Chakra helps us to express ourselves authentically but it also promotes our ability to truly listen to others with compassion and without judgement.
"I speak my truth with clarity and grace."
Third Eye Chakra: A note
The Third Eye Chakra encourages the development of our innate intuition, imagination, and our ability to visualize abstract and expansive concepts and ideas.
"I trust my inner wisdom."
Crown Chakra: B note
The Crown Chakra is our guide to higher consciousness, our connection to Source, and guides us toward inner peace, wisdom, and cosmic understanding.
"Divine energy flows through me effortlessly."
The fusion of sound and frequency invites us to reconnect to our true essence, grounding into Mother Earth while aligning with Source!
The 12/12 portal is not only a gateway of numerological alignment but also an opportunity for spiritual awakening and collective expansion. It invites us to rise into higher levels of awareness, embody deeper compassion, and reconnect with our Divine essence. This vibrational opening accelerates transformation and illuminates a path toward Christ Consciousness. While this term holds religious significance for some, it can also be understood as a universal spiritual frequency rooted in unconditional love, unity, compassion, and higher truth. It represents the wisdom of the soul and the awakening of our heart space and the remembrance of our original divinity and soul blueprint.
In numerology, the number 12 represents divine order, harmony, and expansion. When this number is repeated, as it is on December 12, it forms a powerful frequency that acts as a cosmic amplifier. Our intuition sharpens, the veils between dimensions become thin, and our inner guidance becomes unmistakably clear.
The 12/12 portal activates our Heart Chakra, opening and aligning us with Light, dissolving old patterns and beliefs, and helps you to step into a more compassionate and loving version of yourself. Here are some powerful practices to help you engage with this portal:
I am a vessel of unconditional Love.
My heart radiates compassion to myself and all beings.
I honor the divinity within all beings.
All separation dissolves as I remember our oneness.
My words and movement are filled with grace and presence.
I release judgement and embrace understanding.
I forgive myself and others with an open heart.
I shine my Light freely, without hesitation or fear.
My heart is a temple of Divine presence.
I am here to uplift and inspire.
I trust my inner knowing and sacred intuition.
As you tune into the frequency of the Christ Consciousness, remember this is not something you must earn, it is a guide and a returning to deeper Love, clarity, and unity. Allow the vibration to gently open your heart and draw you closer to the Light within you.
One of our favorite tools for bringing in peace and refreshing the energy in our sacred spaces is a cleansing (or smudging) fan. It can be used to clear stagnant or heavy energy and invite harmony back into a space. A fan is often made with feathers, wood, leather, and crystals. It transforms energetic cleansing from a simple task into a mindful ceremony. Using the fan helps direct the the flow of cleansing smoke (from sage, palo santo, incense, or others herbs) toward areas or objects that need clearing such as your home, work space, aura field, or personal items. The cleansing fan becomes a tool to help you move energy with grace rather than force.
Symbolism of the Feather
Feathers have long been regarded as spiritual messengers. They represent the element of Air, the breath of life, and the connection between Earth and the spirit realm. When used in cleansing, they can carry intentions, prayers, and released energies upward and back to Source.
Some examples of commonly used feathers are:
How to Use a Cleansing Fan
Cleansing fans offer a beautiful way to turn simple energy clearing into a mindful, heart-centered ritual. Each sweep of the fan becomes an intentional act - releasing what feels heavy, inviting in what feels true, and reconnecting you with the harmony of your sacred space. As you work with your fan, trust your intuition, honor the tools and traditions that support you, and allow the experience to become its own gentle ceremony. May your space feel lighter, your energy clearer, and your heart more at peace with every cleansing.
Clearing
"I release what no longer serves this space."
"Let all stagnant or blocked energy be lifted and transmuted into the Light."
"I clear my mind, body, and home of heaviness and clutter."
Protection
"I create a space of harmony and peace."
"Only energies of Love may enter this space."
"I shield this space with clarity and Light."
Blessing
"I invite joy, creativity, and inspiration into this space."
"I honor my journey and step into fresh energy."
"I call in grounding, guidance, and alignment."
For those inspired to make their own, we offer cleansing fan workshops throughout the year. And if you enjoy watching the process, follow along with us on Instagram!

As the year begins to wind down and we celebrate Thanksgiving with family and friends, many of us naturally feel drawn to pause, breathe, and reflect. Gratitude isn't just about celebrating the joyful moments but also about honoring the journey, growth, and the challenges that shaped us along the way.
Gratitude reflection allows us to acknowledge the fullness of life and choose to meet it with a grateful heart.
Find a quiet moment with your journal in your sacred space and ask yourself the following prompts.
What is one challenge from this year that taught me something valuable?
Who showed up for me in moments-big or small-that I'm grateful for?
What are three moments of joy or peace that I want to remember?
What did I learn about myself this year?
What blessings did I overlook in the moment but can now see more clearly?
Bring gratitude into your everyday life with these meaningful ideas.
Letter Writing: Write a heartfelt message for someone who made a difference in your life this year. Even if you never send it, writing the letter itself is an act of gratitude.
Gratitude Jar: If you practice using gratitude jar during the year, take some time to read what you added throughout the year. Otherwise, fill a jar with moments, photos, or objects representing gratitude from the past year.
Ancestors: Honor loved ones that have passed and generations that came before you by placing photos or family heirlooms on your altar or Thanksgiving table. This quiet remembrance invites their presence into your celebration.
Gratitude Walk: A gratitude walk in nature, alone or with loved ones, is a moving meditation. As you walk, notice the sensations, rhythms, and beauty of your surroundings. Silently name things that you're grateful for. This simple practice shifts your awareness from thought to presence.
Candlelight Gratitude Reflection: Lighting a candle can be a simple way to center yourself in gratitude. Sitting in a quiet space with your lit candle, take a few slow breaths and quiet your mind. With each inhale, invite in appreciation and with every exhale, release what no longer serves you. In this quiet moment, the candle becomes a vessel for mindfulness, transforming gratitude into a calm, meditative state.
Gratitude reminds us that beauty can exist alongside uncertainty. It helps us see the grace within the challenges!
