Welcome to this guided meditation on self-growth.
Many of us desire to grow and expand as a person,
But the path to self-growth can be rough at times.
Use this guided meditation to reflect on the growth you've already done and see a peek into who you are growing into.
Let's go inward to explore.
My name is Joy Brown and I will be leading you in today's meditation.
Take a seat or lay down.
Keep your spine as straight as you can,
Get comfortable,
And close your eyes.
To calm your body and mind,
Take some deep breaths in through your nose,
Filling your chest with air.
Hold for four seconds at the top and then exhale out in a big sigh.
With each sigh,
Let yourself just fall deeper into relaxation.
Let your breathing return to normal now.
In your mind's eye,
Picture a map.
Unfold this map and see how it shows you where you started,
Where you are now,
And where your destination is.
Really look at this map.
Notice how you can zoom in at will and just see how far you've come.
Touch your starting point on the map and you will be transported to a memory of when your self-growth journey started.
Come back to your map.
Unfold it.
Touch it.
And let yourself be transported to a future version of you.
Just simply watch and observe.
Come back to your map one more time,
Unfolding it,
And find where you currently are,
The you are here icon.
Hold no judgment for where you are on this journey.
Touch this icon and be present with yourself now.
Think on what areas of your life you should focus on next.
What growth is needed now?
Come back to your map.
Close it up.
Know that you can look at it at any time you wish.
Now come back to your body,
To this present moment.
Take a deep breath,
Then begin to notice where you are now.
Come back to your body,
To this present moment.
Take a deep breath,
Then begin to move your body and open your eyes.
Thank you for joining me today in this guided meditation on self-growth.
Come back to it as often as you need and take some time to journal about your experience.
Blessings to you all.
