This meditation is designed to guide you through overwhelm,
Towards clarity and confidence in sharing your personal journey.
My name is Romina Kavinola,
I am a story weaver,
A guide for connecting with,
Articulating,
Writing and publishing your soul stories.
And today I invite you on a journey.
To begin,
Sit in a comfortable position and close your eyes.
Focus on your breathing.
Notice the passage of the air as you take in a breath and again as you exhale.
When you feel settled into the rhythm of your breath,
In your mind's eye imagine you are on a path.
Notice how it materialises before your eyes.
Still orientating yourself within your surroundings,
You begin to walk forward along this path.
You are aware that you're outdoors and it's getting dark.
Soon you come to a fork in this path and you don't know which way to go.
The way to the left is strewn with stones of different sizes but is otherwise clear.
The way to the right is smooth but heavy with fog.
Which way do you choose?
Many people would choose the way that allows them to see,
Ignoring the stones that cause them to stumble.
It's better to know what you're dealing with after all,
Isn't it?
At least this way you know what is there.
You know the trek will be challenging but sight is better than obscured vision.
But let me ask you something.
What if you choose the other way?
The ground flows smoothly with nothing to trip you.
Maybe you can't see through the fog right now but as you step onto this path,
Pulled intuitively in this direction and look ahead,
You see a faint glow.
The glow bumps along as it becomes stronger,
More brilliant.
A lantern emerging through the haze.
A hand extends towards you invitingly.
Hesitating only for a moment,
You take it and step forward,
Just one more step and find yourself enveloped in the fog.
Suddenly you discover that you can see clearly.
Your guide smiles at you knowingly.
Her face is kind and her grip gentle.
You notice a momentary twinkle in her eye as she gazes right into your soul.
You feel comforted by her presence,
Safe in the knowledge that she can see the truth of you,
Whatever that may be and find the wisdom you have gleaned from your unique collection of experiences.
Something which perhaps you did not know was there or were afraid to claim.
Your guide turns and holds the lantern in front of her.
With clarity of vision,
You both walk forward and the journey is easy.
You see this path is like your story.
You want to write it.
You want to share it.
Something within you calls you to this purpose but it feels hard,
Overwhelming,
Impossible.
That's okay.
You can release that.
Perhaps you can't see where you're going right now.
Your mind lost in an assortment of partial ideas strewn across your path but the way doesn't have to be hard.
You can clear the path so you can step into alignment and discover those golden wisps along the way.
You can choose your path.
Let us take that journey together.
Then take what we uncover and turn it into something beautiful.
Are you ready?
Take a deep breath,
Following the flow of air as it enters and leaves your body.
And another breath.
And yet another slow breath in and hold it for a moment.
Think about what blocks you on the inhale.
Tune in to where you feel stuck.
Maybe you aren't aware what your block is,
You just know it's there.
Focus on that energy and slowly exhale,
Intentionally surrendering the block.
Take another slow breath in,
Hold,
Tune in and let go.
Another breath in,
Hold and release both breath and block.
As the tense energy finds its way out of your body,
You relax again into the rhythm of your natural breathing.
When you are ready,
Open your eyes and shake off the stillness gently.
You are open now.
Your mind is clear and your heart is calm.
The energy of creation is bubbling within you,
Tugging at the threads of a story waiting to be woven.
