Transcript

Welcome to this meditation on embracing life's twists and turns.

Find a comfortable and quiet space and take a moment to settle into a comfortable position.

Gently close your eyes.

Let's begin.

Start by taking a few deep breaths.

Inhale deeply through your nose,

And exhale slowly through your mouth.

With each breath,

Release any tension or stress you might be holding.

Let your awareness centre on the rhythmic rise and fall of your breath.

Breathe in calm and exhale any worries.

Now,

Imagine yourself sitting beside a tranquil winding river.

The water flows gracefully,

Winding and turning as it follows the natural contours of the landscape.

The trees on the riverbank sway gently in the breeze.

The sun shines above,

Casting a warm and comforting light.

As you sit by the river,

You notice that life is a lot like this river.

It has its twists and turns,

Unexpected bends,

And moments of calm and turbulence.

Just like the river flows,

Life unfolds,

Sometimes in ways we can't predict.

Feel the strength within you,

Like an unwavering current.

Your inner strength is your guide,

Carrying you through life's unpredictable journey.

It's a source of resilience and adaptability,

Allowing you to embrace the unexpected.

Take a moment to reflect on your own journey.

Think about a recent challenge you faced.

Recall that initial discomfort and unease.

Now,

Recognise how that challenge has contributed to your growth.

It's like a boulder in the river that you've navigated around and learned from.

In this moment of reflection,

Set an intention.

Declare that you will embrace life's twists and turns,

With an open heart and a resilient spirit.

You will learn and grow from every experience,

Even the unexpected ones.

As we conclude this meditation,

Know that you are ready to embrace life's journey with renewed vigour.

You have the inner strength to navigate life's twists and turns with grace and resilience.

When you're ready,

Gently open your eyes,

Bringing this renewed perspective into the world around you.

Thank yourself for taking the time to nourish you.

A tranquil, yet motivating experience to commence my day.

Wonderful, great voice, helpful messages—-love the water! Thank you 🙏🏼.

Wow! I’m in a really hard patch with family stuff and this was a beautiful and relaxing and empowering perspective that I will carry with me. Thank you! ❤️

Good message, easy to understand, I’m grateful for your message. Ironically, I was distracted and annoyed by the “river” track — sounded more like a creek albeit — a big one. In our storms around Northern California, those can flow pretty strong and used to drown hundreds of people yearly. So even our creeks sounded stronger than the river you got there. It was also too loud. I don’t know maybe I’m bringing too much of something else that is bugging me than all your efforts. My apologies. That’s why I didn’t take any stars off.
Blessings to you and all on the journey.
Warmly,
Anne

This was a perfect message during a stressful weekend. Love your voice, the sounds and the content. Thank you! 🙏
