6-Phase Meditation (Inspired By Vishen Lakhiani)

This meditation is my interpretation of the 6-Phase Guided Meditation originally created by Vishen Lakhiani.

In this journey, we connect deeply with ourselves and the universe, cultivate gratitude for life's blessings, release past burdens through forgiveness, and visualize our future aspirations. We then imagine our perfect day to inspire positive action and conclude by sending love and positive energy to the world. This meditation is a transformative experience, designed to bring clarity, peace, and holistic well-being into your life.

Namaste and welcome to this practice.

I invite you to start by finding a comfortable and relaxed position.

For this meditation I recommend sitting with your back straight,

Ensuring your spine is erect,

Shoulders are open and your chin is slightly pointing downward to relieve any pressure on your neck.

Gently close your eyes and take a few deep calming breaths.

And now I invite you to think about someone or something you love deeply.

It could be a cherished person in your life or a beloved pet that brings warmth to your heart.

As you think of this love,

Imagining taking a color that resonates with the deepest feelings of your heart,

Let this love take on a vibrant and beautiful hue.

Take a moment to visualize this color,

Allowing it to fill up your heart with its radiant energy.

And with your next deep inhale,

Imagine this loving energy intensifying,

Becoming stronger and more dense within your heart center.

Feel it expanding with each breath.

As you exhale,

Visualize this love light flowing outwards,

Filling your entire body with its warm glowing presence.

With each successive inhale,

Let this loving energy grow even stronger.

And as you exhale,

Allow it to expand beyond the boundaries of your physical form.

Imagine it creating a protective bubble of love around you,

Extending to the size of the room you're in.

And now inhale once more,

Drawing in this expansive love.

And as you exhale,

See the bubble growing larger and larger,

Expanding it to the size of the building you're in.

Feel the love permeating every corner of the space.

With your next breath,

Let this love continue to grow.

And as you exhale,

Visualize the bubble expanding further,

Covering your entire city or town.

Imagine the love reaching every living being in your community.

And then inhale deeply once again,

Gathering all the love within you.

And as you exhale,

Envision the immersive love extending to envelop your entire country.

Feel the love connecting with every person,

Every creature,

And every aspect of your nation.

And with your next breath,

Let the love energy expand even more.

And as you exhale,

Visualize it spreading to encompass the entire planet.

See the earth bathed in this radiant love,

Touching every living thing,

Bringing comfort and healing.

And now take one more deep breath,

Gathering the fullness of the boundless love.

And as you exhale,

Let it expand beyond the boundaries of our world,

Covering the entire universe.

Imagine the love reaching every star,

Every planet,

And every sentient being in the existence.

And as you feel the love coming from your heart center,

Covering the entire cosmos,

Silently repeat to yourself,

Let everything alive in this universe feel the love coming from my heart and received by their hearts.

Let everyone and everything alive feel valuable,

Needed,

Important,

And enough.

And stay in this space of love and connection for a few moments,

Basking in the warmth of this universal love that flows for you and out into the world.

And now let's shift our focus to the powerful emotion of gratitude.

Gratitude has the incredible ability to transform our perspective and fill our hearts with warmth and positivity.

Begin by thinking of three things that you are grateful for in your everyday life.

Those could be simple yet beautiful moments.

A smile of a stranger,

A delicious meal that nourished you,

Or the sight of a beautiful sunset painting the sky with its vibrant colors.

As you bring each of those moments to your mind,

Allow the feeling of gratitude to swell within your heart.

Feel it expanding,

Radiating,

And enveloping your entire being.

You can say to yourself,

I am grateful for.

.

.

Next,

Let's direct your gratitude towards our work or the way we present ourselves in the world.

Think of the three aspects or achievements in your professional life that you're truly grateful for.

It could be a successful project,

A supportive colleague,

Or a skill you've developed.

As you acknowledge those aspects,

Let the gratitude flow through you,

Enhancing your sense of accomplishment and fulfillment.

And now turn your attention to the people in your life.

Consider three individuals,

Whether friends,

Family,

Or mentors,

For whom you feel deep appreciation.

Reflect on the positive impact they've had on your journey.

With each person,

Feel the gratitude expanding within you,

Strengthening your connection and love for them.

Allow this profound sense of gratitude to fill you entirely,

Illuminating your heart with its radiant light.

Stay with it for a moment.

And from this state of appreciation,

We'll embark on a journey to your personal sanctuary,

A place where you feel utterly safe,

Content,

And at peace.

I invite you to visualize your sanctuary.

It could be a real place you've visited or a completely imaginary one.

It's your sacred space of comfort and tranquility.

Picture the details,

The colors,

The textures,

The scents,

And the sounds.

Explore the sanctuary with your mind's eye,

Allowing every element to become more vivid and real.

And as you immerse yourself in your sanctuary,

Feel its healing energy enveloping you.

This is your sacred space of rejuvenation and solace,

Always available for you to visit mentally whenever you need it.

Now,

With your sanctuary firmly in your mind,

Visualize a person who may have caused you stress,

Anger,

Or any form of negative emotions.

See them standing in front of you within the sanctuary's serene surroundings.

And from the abundant wellspring of gratitude and love you've cultivated in your heart,

Look at this person through a lens of compassion and understanding.

Feel your heart open as you say to them,

I forgive you.

And you may add any other words or sentiments that resonate with you at this moment.

Observe how this forgiveness transforms the energy surrounding this person.

As you release any lingering resentment,

Allow the sanctuary's peaceful energy to flow between you,

Creating a sense of healing and closure.

Remain in this serene space for a few moments,

Feeling the effects of forgiveness and gratitude in your heart.

And now,

Let's embark on a journey of creative visualization,

Where you'll paint a vivid picture of your dream life.

This phase is about bringing your dreams and aspiration to life in your mind's eye.

You are about to enter a boundless possibilities.

Visualize yourself three years from now,

Living your perfect life.

See yourself accomplish your goals,

Realizing your dreams and becoming the best version of yourself.

Pay close attention to the details,

The colors,

Shapes and scenes that surround you in this vision.

Imagine the sights.

What do your surroundings look like?

Are you in a bustling city,

A serene natural landscape?

Picture it clearly.

And now,

Tune in to the sounds.

What do you hear in this future?

Is it a gentle rustling of leaves,

The hum of the vibrant city,

Or the soothing sounds of the ocean?

Let those sounds fill your imagination.

What surrounds you?

Who surrounds you?

Dive into details.

Fill it with your skin.

Fill it with your heart.

Feel the emotions that accompany your success and fulfillment.

Experience those excitement,

Joy and contentment as if they are happening to you right now.

Allow those positive emotions to wash over you,

Infusing you with motivation and determination.

With each breath,

Dive deeper in this vision,

Embracing the life you've always desired.

Feel the energy and enthusiasm welling up inside you,

Propelling you towards the steps needed to turn this dream into reality.

Know that this future is within your grasp and as you continue to visualize it regularly,

You are taking powerful steps towards manifesting it into your life.

Stay in this state of creative visualization for a few more moments,

Savoring the experience of your ideal future.

And now,

Gently transition back to the present moment.

Take a moment to ground yourself in the here and now and visualize the perfect day today.

What is one important thing that needs to happen?

How do you want to feel throughout the day?

See it,

Feel it and leave it in your mind.

But here's the magic.

Be open to the creativity of the universe.

Leave space for unexpected blessings and beautiful surprises.

Sometimes the universe has a grander plans for us,

Grander than we can imagine.

So with an open heart and a smile on your face,

Embrace the day ahead,

Knowing that it has the potential to be even more beautiful and fulfilling than you have envisioned.

And as we conclude this meditation,

Let us open our hearts and minds to receive blessings.

Blessings from the greater powers,

The divine,

God or the universe,

Whatever resonates with your beliefs.

Take a moment and reflect on a specific blessing that you're sick today.

It could be a guidance,

Strength,

Love or anything that aligns with your intentions.

Hold those desires in your heart.

And now,

In a moment of silence,

Offer your request for blessings.

You can do this in your own words.

Feel your words reverberate in the sacred space within you.

Know that you are heard and your intentions are recognized by the greater forces that surround us.

Embrace a sense of gratitude for the blessings you've received and the ones on their way.

May those blessings guide you,

Protect you and illuminate the path towards the fulfillment of your dreams.

When you are ready,

Gently open your eyes,

Carrying the sense of connection and empowerment throughout your day.

Our meditation is now complete.

I thank you.

Namaste.
