Hi sweet souls.
I have a meditation on being the maypole.
So if you haven't already,
Find a comfortable place where you can be safe,
Free of distractions,
And comfortable.
Now imagine for a moment that you are a maypole.
You're tall,
You're strong,
And you're deeply rooted in the earth,
Yet you're free and flexible at the same time.
The world may try to pull at you from different directions,
Like colorful ribbons being wrapped around your body,
Expectations,
Judgments,
Opinions,
But you're a maypole and you're not confined by them.
You stand tall,
Grounded,
And you are free to dance with the wind,
Free to move,
Free to choose your own rhythm.
Now take a deep breath in and breathe in all of that strength.
Feel the earth beneath you,
Steady,
Constant,
As you grow taller with each breath.
You are solid,
You're secure,
And you're unshakable in your foundation.
Now as you exhale,
Let go of any doubts or any fears,
Any anxiety.
Let them slip away like the ribbons untying themselves from the pole.
Let them fall gently to the ground.
You are not defined by the opinions of others,
By their judgments of your path.
You're not bound to the expectations placed upon you.
You are free to move in your own direction.
Breathe in deeply and feel that freedom.
You're not beholden to any one way of being or living.
It's your perspective,
Your life,
Your choice.
You can bend,
You can sway,
But you will never break.
Feel the strength within you,
Steady like the trunk of the maypole,
Flexible like the ribbons in the wind.
You're both grounded and limitless.
See the colorful ribbons.
Maybe you see blue,
Green,
Orange,
Yellow,
Red.
Allow the ribbons to just float in the air,
To move and dance as you like.
You are creating your own path.
You're free to express yourself without any explanation.
Take a deep breath in and continue to breathe deeply,
Filling your inner power.
Rise up like the maypole,
But unshaken by anything outside of you.
You have everything you need within yourself to figure things out,
To move through life with grace and confidence.
Breathe out and breathe in.
Breathe out.
In this moment,
Feel the freedom in being you.
Let it fill your body and your heart and your soul.
You're free to dance with life and you can trust yourself to figure it out as you go.
You are the maypole.
You're strong.
You're free.
And I believe in you.
