Welcome to the Soul Growth Sessions,
A place to nurture your soul and awaken your potential.
This is a guided meditation to help you through times when you want to clearly assess the choices available to you.
This meditation will reconnect you with your inner guidance,
Allowing you to make sound decisions with clarity and confidence.
Let's begin by finding a comfortable position,
Whatever feels right for you,
Sitting or lying down.
When you're ready,
Gently close your eyes and begin to turn your attention inwards,
Tuning in to the sensations of your breath,
Allowing you to feel more present within your body.
Just observing and feeling your breath as it naturally and easily flows in and out.
Let go of any tension,
Any worry,
Any concerns,
Leaving them aside for now.
Enjoying this moment just for you.
On the next inhale,
Take the deepest breath you've taken yet today,
Feeling your stomach and ribcage expand all the way.
And when you're ready,
Exhale with a sigh,
Fully letting go,
Allowing your breath to return to its regular flow.
Feeling effortless,
Feeling at ease,
Feeling relaxed.
Continuing to journey inwards,
Allow your gentle focus to notice the sensations within your body,
Spending a few moments of quality time feeling and breathing into any areas that want a little extra attention.
Allow yourself to feel into it,
Feeling and noticing any sensation that arises and breathe into whatever you feel,
Allowing space for the sensations to settle a little more.
Breathing in fully and deeply,
Giving yourself permission to relax.
Ready to journey deeper,
Ready to find clarity.
Imagine the decision that is challenging you right now.
Imagine the possible choices and options in front of you,
Seeing them as paths branching out in different directions.
Take the time to familiarize yourself with each path,
Knowing which option each path represents.
Noticing how each one looks,
Noticing how each one feels.
Allow yourself to feel into each path,
Feeling and noticing any sensation that arises and breathing in to whatever you feel.
Imagining each path with your mind and feeling into them with your heart.
As you observe each path,
Notice how these next questions feel.
Does this path open possibilities for me?
Does this path give me a voice?
Does it make me feel heard?
Does this path feel right in the long term?
Does this path make me feel open and expansive?
Does this path open possibilities and expand my life in some way?
Does this path expand me or my future?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes,
Then the decision is yes.
No matter how daunting or difficult it may seem,
The answer is clear.
If there is a path that feels right for your long term future and another that feels right just for now,
Something that feels easier and safe for the moment,
Remember this.
For any path you choose,
The feeling of expansion has to be available for the long term future.
Even if that means short term difficulty or discomfort,
If it feels open and expansive in the long term,
Then choosing this direction is always the right path to take.
If any path makes you feel small,
Any path that shrinks,
Silences or inhibits you in some way,
Then the decision is always no.
No matter how easy or safe that path may be.
However,
If you need a path that is easier and safer for now,
That's okay.
Just allow your heart to stay open to the paths that lead you towards your long term growth and expansion.
Take the time you need to gather your strength and take those steps towards your higher path when you're ready.
Take another moment to assess each path open to you,
Knowing which option each path represents,
Noticing how each one looks,
Noticing how each one feels.
Allow yourself to feel into them,
Feeling and noticing any sensations that arise and breathing in to whatever you feel.
Imagining each path with your mind and feel them with your heart.
As you observe each path,
Notice how each one makes you feel.
Does this path open possibilities for me?
Does this path give me a voice?
Does this path allow me to feel heard?
Does this path feel right in the long term future?
Does this path make me feel open and expansive?
Does this path open possibilities and expand my life in some way?
Does this path expand me or my future?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes,
Then the decision is yes,
No matter how daunting or difficult it may seem.
The answer is still clear.
Now you have reconnected with your inner guidance,
Use this feeling of expansion as your compass.
As your life path evolves,
Use this feeling of expansion to check in with your direction from time to time,
Allowing yourself to reassess,
Readjust and redirect towards your highest path whenever you need it.
With this in mind,
Let's now prepare to return to your surroundings.
On the next inhale,
Take a full deep breath,
Feeling your stomach and ribcage expanding all the way.
And when you're ready,
Exhale with a sigh,
Fully letting go.
As your breath returns to its regular flow,
You are aware of how you now feel more anchored and present within your body.
Feeling the changes that have taken place,
Feeling them integrate within you.
Taking the time now to return to your surroundings,
Feeling the points of contact between you and your surroundings.
Feeling the points of contact between you and the surface on which you are resting.
Feeling the air on your skin,
Gently moving your body,
Taking your time.
And when you feel ready to come back,
Gently open your eyes,
Aware of the world around you.
Remembering you can come back and experience this practice as often as you like,
To connect with your inner guidance,
Allowing you to regain clarity and confidence whenever you need it.
So until next time,
Take care my friend.
