Stepping Into 2026: Mid-Winter Seeding for a New Cycle Inviting Positive Energy Flow Into Your Home, Body, Mind & Spirit

As we step into 2026, we are not simply changing a calendar year but for some it helps draw a conscious line in the sand to change, create new habits, become consistent, to consciously step closer to becoming more of who you want to become.


There is alot of outside noise coming into a new year of action, action, action however we are in Mid-winter which carries a quiet but powerful magic. The earth rests. Seeds lie dormant beneath frozen soil. Nothing appears to be happening, yet everything is preparing.


This is the perfect time to seed intention, gently clear stagnation, and align with the subtle beginnings of a new cycle not with force but with restful gentle energy. In this blog we look at how to allow the energy to flow, numerology and which flower essences can support us.



The Numerology of 2026: Year 1 & Year 10 Energy


In numerology, 2026 carries the vibration of a 1 year

(2 + 0 + 2 + 6 = 10 → 1 + 0 = 1)


This gives us Year 1 energy, but with an important nuance — it is also a Year 10.


What does this mean energetically?


  • Year 1: Beginnings, leadership, independence, new pathways

  • Year 10: Completion and rebirth — endings that feed new life


This is not about rushing forward.

It’s about conscious initiation.


Mid-winter is not the time for full action — it is the time to:


  • Clarify intention

  • Release outdated identities

  • Align with who you are becoming



Creating Positive Energy Flow in the Home


Your home is an energetic container. Before anything new can arrive, space must be made.


Gentle Mid-Winter Home Reset


Rather than a dramatic clear-out, work room by room with intention.


Focus on:

  • Opening windows briefly each day (even in cold air)

  • Introducing light — candles, warm lamps, fairy lights
