Hello and welcome to this guided meditation.
You are invited to lie down or sit up.
Make yourself nice and comfortable.
And begin to breathe in and out soft and deep.
Feeling your belly become nice and round on the inhale.
And on the exhale,
You can release a sigh.
Ah.
Allowing any tension of the day or of the night to melt away.
And continue to breathe this way a few more times.
Deep inhales and on the exhale,
Release a nice big sigh.
Relaxing your mind,
Relaxing your shoulders,
Relax your spine,
Your belly,
Your chest.
Relaxing your arms and your hands.
Breathing in nice and deep.
Until you feel your thighs are relaxing.
Your knees all the way down to your feet.
Your entire being relaxes.
Your heart relaxes.
And becoming aware of the breath coming into your body.
And now bringing your awareness to hover somewhere.
Somewhere in your body.
And feeling the sensations on this part of your body,
Anywhere that is.
You may feel some vibration,
Some tingling,
Some warmth or some coldness.
And imagining your breath now like a free diver about to dive into your oceanic water body.
So you can take in a nice deep inhale.
And on the exhale dive with your awareness into your waters,
Into your deeper internal being.
And imagining this awareness like a free diver going down,
Further down.
Until the light that is around you begins to fade with every breath you go down,
Entering more and more and more of the deeper,
Darker waters of your being.
Going down.
Father Don.
Until you begin to access the deeper.
Unconscious layers of your being.
And now my dear in the distance you can see a cave in these deep dark waters.
Begin to swim towards this cave,
Realizing that you can breathe in these deep dark waters.
Nice deep breaths,
Slow,
Steady and natural.
And as you see this cave,
Begin to enter slowly.
It takes some time to adjust in this pitch black cage.
Until your eyes,
As you swim deeper into the cave,
Adjust.
And you can begin to see the outline.
Of what looks like two big mirrors in this deep,
Dark cave.
Begin to swim towards the mirrors.
And in the first mirror.
You notice.
In the reflection.
That you can actually see deep inside of your own being yourself.
You are able to see in the dark.
And here you see what the world sees as your greatest gift,
Your offering.
What shines to the outside world,
How people see you.
The shine in your personality.
The things people praise you for.
And just notice what you are recognized for in your reflection.
You can hear their voices,
See those moments like flashbacks of your life.
You can see their expressions.
How does the world perceive your gift?
And taking in a nice deep breath here.
And a nice deep sigh.
Allowing that sigh to reverberate through your heart.
And now you see this other mirror.
And you become drawn to it.
And so beginning to move away from the first mirror and you gaze into the second mirror and here you notice a different reflection.
The reflection is what you feel deep down inside,
Is your truest nature,
Your truest gift that perhaps the world cannot see.
This is a reflection of your own soul towards yourself.
It may be something you didn't expect.
It may be something that is the first time to be revealed.
What is your soul's truest gift within?
Take a deep breath and sigh.
And now taking a moment.
To feel.
Are they almost the same,
Or was there a gap?
Just self-reflect here for a moment.
Sensing,
Feeling,
What did you observe,
What do you feel here and now?
And as you take in another deep breath and a beautiful deep exhale.
You notice that between these two mirrors there's a small gap.
And it's calling and drawing you in.
Just allow yourself to step between the space between these two mirrors until you notice what feels like a third mirror and yet the mirror isn't solid.
It's magnetic waters that draw you in and you can sense that by stepping through you're merging more and more of what the outside sees you as but also your true soul's gift.
That which is so important to you,
That which lights you up.
That which is the essence of your nature.
As you walk through you feel a determination,
An intention,
A clarity to bring both of these reflections more and more into unity.
And the way begins to crystallize as you move and merge now through what feels this magnetic water portal.
And as you pass through,
You notice you've exited this cave and you begin to feel perhaps a call that wishes for you to begin to swim back up,
That draws you back up.
So you notice now yourself being pulled up again to float,
To swim.
Higher and further up.
Higher and further up.
Feel how your body glides through this warm water.
With every breath you find yourself being lifted higher and higher up.
Until your awareness starts to see again the light shimmering on the surface of the water and with one deep breath lift your awareness back up to the surface of your body.
And bring yourself back into the room.
Bring yourself back into your field.
Notice if you bring anything more.
Clear with you anything.
That is now moving through your being,
Something that feels alive in this moment.
And I invite you to just breathe with that,
Taking three nice deep breaths.
And with that,
Inviting you now to come and open your eyes slowly if you wish,
Gazing around the room,
Gazing at your hands.
And if you feel like sitting longer in meditation,
You're welcome to do so.
And encouraging any journaling to happen after this meditation.
