Welcome,
Please find a comfortable seat,
Allow your body to soften,
Your jaw unclenched,
Your breath fall into its own easy rhythm,
And your shoulders release any tension they've been carrying.
Notice your breath,
The simple movement of air entering and leaving your body,
No effort,
No control,
Just your natural breathing.
No matter the season of life you are in,
You can always look for the glimmers,
The sweet moments of peace and contentment,
The scent of coffee first thing in the morning,
The warmth of a cozy blanket,
The perfect song on your drive home,
Your pet curling up beside you,
Gazing with wonder at a star-filled sky.
These are brief flashes that remind you that life is beautiful.
Now,
Gently turn your attention inward and visualize your own unique glimmer.
It may be a memory that warms your heart,
A tender feeling,
A comforting sensation,
Or even a small act of kindness that brought you comfort or joy.
Picture it clearly in your mind's eye,
Experience the details coming alive,
Let yourself linger there for a few natural breaths,
Feeling all the emotions that arise,
Deeply and completely.
With each inhale,
Draw the glimmer closer,
Letting it fill your heart with love and care.
With each exhale,
Imagine that gentle warmth radiating outward,
Sharing its light beyond yourself.
Even in difficult times,
Your glimmers are there,
Small yet powerful reminders that life is a gift.
Let gratitude gently rise from this awareness,
Not as something forced,
But as a natural response to the small kindnesses that life continues to offer.
The light through your window,
The air moving in and out,
Your strength and resilience that has carried you this far.
Rest here for a few slow breaths,
Letting your heart take in what it needs.
When you're ready,
Silently repeat the following affirmation.
I flow through life inspired by glimmers,
My heart full of gratitude.
Allow this meditation to breathe new life within you,
Knowing that you can tap into this simple practice anytime you need a reminder of the light and peace already within you.
