Heart's Desire Meditation by the Mindful Life Coach This guided meditation is intended to help you uncover your deepest heart's desire by helping you tap into the core part of you that knows what you want,
What is best for you and what you need to bring you into alignment with that which brings you joy,
Fulfilment,
Meaning and purpose.
Begin by getting into a comfortable position.
You may wish to sit upright or lie down on a mat.
Gently close your eyes or gently soften your gaze,
Focusing on the tip of your nose and bring your attention to your breath.
Gently breathing in through the nose,
Hold the breath for a few seconds and breathe out through the mouth,
Emptying your lungs and relaxing with each exhale.
Again,
Breathe in through the nose,
Hold and out through the mouth all the way to the tip of the exhalation,
Feeling each muscle in your body loosen and relax.
Sinking deeper into the floor,
Breathe in through the nose,
Hold and breathe out,
Feeling more and more relaxed,
Letting go of any tension you may be holding on to,
Releasing any expectations or worries,
Finding a quiet inner peace in this moment.
Continue breathing in this way until you find your natural rhythm.
Notice your lungs as they expand and contract.
Notice the steady rise and fall of your chest.
Notice how you feel more and more relaxed with each exhale,
Creating space in your mind and body to be filled with the insights you will receive through this experience.
Now,
Bring your attention to your feet and slowly begin to scan your body upwards,
Becoming aware of any sensations as they arise.
Just start to notice.
Notice your toes,
Just start to notice.
Notice your toes,
Your ankles,
Your calves,
Your shins,
Your knees,
Your thighs,
Your pelvis,
Your buttocks,
Feeling your body relax more and more with each exhale,
Breathing in and out.
Move your attention up to your stomach,
Up through your chest,
To your heart,
Your lungs,
Up to your throat,
Feeling the body sink deeper and deeper into a relaxed state.
And as you breathe in and out,
Move your attention from the base of your spine all the way up your back.
Bring your attention to your shoulders,
Down to your arms,
Your elbows,
Your wrists,
Your wrists,
Hands and fingers,
Releasing any tension you may be holding onto,
Letting it just melt away.
Move your attention now up to your throat,
Your jaw,
Your cheeks,
Your ears,
Your nose,
Eyes,
Forehead,
All the way up the back of the head,
Up to the top of your crown.
Now feel your body in its entirety,
Breathing gently in and out,
Moving up and down and feeling a wave of relaxation fill you from head to toe,
Ready for this visual journey that awaits.
I now invite you to visualise your favourite scene in nature.
It may be somewhere you've been before,
Somewhere you've seen in a photo,
It could be a garden,
A beach,
A forest,
A mountain,
Or by a lake,
Somewhere beautiful and peaceful where you can feel safe.
Imagine walking slowly through this scene in nature and in your mind start to notice all the things around you.
What do you see?
What do you hear?
What can you smell?
What sensations are you aware of?
Can you feel the air on your skin?
Can you feel the ground beneath your feet?
And how do you feel in this beautiful place,
In this moment?
Just take a moment to appreciate the beauty of where you are.
You now notice a path made of leaves and so you start to follow it,
Feeling relaxed and safe and secure with every step you take.
As you walk along the path you encounter an animal.
Perhaps it is an animal you feel some kind of connection to,
Maybe you cross paths with an animal or creature today,
Perhaps it's a mythical creature that your imagination has a connection to.
Allow it to follow you if it feels safe to do so,
Because it will have many valuable messages for you along this journey.
Ahead of you,
You see a circle made out of beautiful flowers.
This is a sacred circle where you are safe from any real or imagined external influences,
Protecting you for the entire duration of this visual journey.
Nothing can penetrate this circle you do not invite in.
Your animal guide may sit outside the circle or you may wish to invite it inside to sit with you.
Inside the circle are seven wooden boxes,
Each with a clear label.
These boxes contain the details of your heart's desires with regard to seven key areas of your life.
When you are ready,
Pick up the first box marked home.
Inside is a photograph of you standing outside the home of your dreams.
What does this home look like?
Is it where you're currently living?
Is it where you're going to be in the future?
Is it where you're going to be when you grow up?
Inside is a photograph of you standing outside the home of your dreams.
What does this home look like?
Is it where you're currently living or a different home?
Where is it located?
Who are you living with?
Who lives nearby?
What is located around you that makes this perfect home for you?
How does this home make you feel?
What emotions does it evoke?
Take a minute to visualise and experience what it would be like,
Feel like,
To live in this home.
And when you have a clear idea of what your heart desires,
Turn to the animal that you met at the start of the journey and ask it,
What do I need to do to make this dream home and living arrangements my reality?
Listen to what the animal has to say.
Once you have heard the guidance that was meant for you,
Close the box and thank the animal for its guidance.
You may now pick up the second box marked relationships.
This box contains your relationships.
This box contains your heart's desires regarding the most important relationships in your life.
Your romantic relationships,
The relationships you have with friends,
Family,

It may be a single photograph with everybody together or several photos showing you separately with each person.

What would you love to experience in each of these relationships?
And how do these beautiful relationships make you feel?
Take some time to study the photos and feel the emotions that these experiences would evoke.

Visualise it in your mind's eye.
Where are you?
What are you doing?
Who's there with you?

The habits and behaviours you need to adopt,
Or the self-love,
Care and healing you need in order to let go of your pain.

Marked spirituality.
Perhaps you're already on a spiritual path,
Practice of faith,
Or you are in contemplation as to whether this is something you would be open to exploring in future.
When you are ready,
Open the box and take out a photograph of yourself enjoying your highest state of spiritual connection.
Whether it's a connection to the divine,
Or a connection to the universe,
Whether it's a connection to the divine,
Connection to the planet or universe,
Connection to humanity,
To love,
Or even just a greater understanding of yourself.

Now that you have opened all seven boxes and gained insight into your heart's desire,
It's time to stand up and step out of the circle,
Ready to make your way back to the here and now.
Thank your animal guide just one last time and begin to walk back along the path of leaves,
Stretching your arms and legs and counting your steps backwards from 20 to 1.
