When the path ahead feels blocked or delayed, it’s easy to question yourself or the journey. This practice invites you to soften into stillness, release the tension of “not yet,” and rest in the deeper truth that you are being guided, prepared, and aligned. In the waiting, you are not stuck—you are being carried. Background music is by Liborio Conti.

Transcript

Welcome to this meditation brought to you by Create the Calm.

Let's begin by inviting stillness into this practice.

Find a comfortable position either seated or lying down.

Allow your body to settle and your eyes to gently close.

Take a slow deep breath in through your nose and let it out through your mouth with a sigh.

Again breathing in and exhale.

One more time breathe in calm,

Exhale tension.

Let your body begin to soften.

Let your shoulders lower,

Your jaw unclench,

Your hands rest gently.

Now bring your attention to your body right here.

Notice the points where your body makes contact with the surface beneath you.

Feel yourself supported,

Grounded.

Let your body find its natural rhythm.

There's no need to force it.

Just follow it gently.

As you continue breathing,

Allow each exhale to release a little more tension.

There's nothing you need to do,

No place you need to be.

This moment is enough.

Now imagine that you're standing at the gate of departure,

Not a literal airport but a threshold in your life.

You thought you'd be on your way now.

You packed,

You prepared,

You showed up but the flight has been delayed.

Feel the uncertainty in the air.

The wondering,

The waiting and now notice something else.

Behind the scenes,

A team is working quietly,

Skillfully,

Unseen by you.

They are adjusting details,

Coordinating timing,

Resolving complications.

They're not flustered,

They're not panicking and they're not behind.

They're right on time.

You are not being punished.

You're being prepared.

As we move deeper into stillness,

I'll offer you a series of gentle affirmations.

You don't have to repeat them unless you want to.

Simply let the words wash over you,

Allowing what resonates to take root in your heart.

Delay is not denial.

Delay is not failure.

Delay is alignment.

I am being guided.

I am being protected.

I am being positioned.

I don't have to solve everything.

I just have to stay honest and available.

I trust the unseen work being done on my behalf.

I trust divine timing more than my timeline.

My job is not to force but to flow.

My job is not to control but to cooperate.

What is meant for me cannot miss me.

What is meant for me is being made ready and I am being made ready for it.

I release the tension of needing it to happen now.

I choose peace in the pause.

I am held.

I am guided.

I am enough even in the waiting.

Take another deep breath in and exhale slowly.

Begin to wiggle your fingers and toes.

Stretch if that feels good to you.

Gently bring your awareness back to the room around you.

Let your eyes open when you're ready.

As you move through the rest of your day,

Remember You're not stuck.

You are being aligned.

And you're not doing this alone.

If this meditation spoke to you,

I'd love to share more moments like this together.

You can follow me right here on Insight Timer to be notified when new meditations are released.

Until then,

May you rest in trust and kindness toward yourself.
