Welcome,
Radiant Soul.
I'm Nola Bloom.
And this is your invitation to pause.
To soften.
And to return inwards.
If you found your way to this meditation.
You might be carrying something heavy.
A sense of exhaustion.
A lack of motivation.
Or simply a longing to feel more like yourself again.
Know that you are not alone here.
This is reviving your inner spark.
A meditation I designed specifically for burnout recovery.
I'm here to guide you back.
To the light within.
A light that may feel distant right now,
But has never fully disappeared.
Burnout can arise in many ways.
Through constant doing.
Through giving without replenishing.
Or moving through life without space to truly reset.
And over time.
This can leave you feeling depleted.
Disconnected.
And far from the joy and inspiration that once felt natural.
And yet.
Even here.
Your inner spark remains.
It may feel quiet or hidden beneath layers of fatigue.
But I assure you,
It is still alive.
And waiting for your attention.
This meditation is an invitation to gently release what you've been carrying.
Reconnect with your inner light.
And begin to rekindle the warmth of your own vibrant energy.
Now let's begin.
Find yourself a comfortable position.
Either seated or lying down.
And allow your body to fully relax.
Close down the eyes.
Unsettle the breath.
Take a deep,
Nourishing inhale through the nose.
Side out through the mouth.
Uhhh.
.
.
Now let's take three slow breaths together.
With a gentle breath retention to deepen your awareness and invite the body into a state of calm.
Inhale deeply.
Hold for a count of four.
One,
Two,
Three,
Four.
And exhale completely.
And again,
Inhale.
Hold the breath,
1,
2,
3,
4,
And exhale with ease.
You One last time,
Inhale deeply.
Hold for 4,
1,
2,
3,
4,
And exhale all the air out.
Allow your breath to find a gentle rhythm.
And with every exhalation,
Feel the body softening.
And releasing tension.
And settling into the support beneath you.
Allow the muscles of the face to soften.
Beyond.
The jaw.
Let the shoulders drop.
The arms soften.
The hands resting with ease.
Softening through the chest.
The belly.
Perhaps.
The legs.
All the way down to the feet.
A whole body resting at ease.
Supported and open.
Feel the earth beneath you taking the entire weight of your body.
Now bring awareness to the center of your chest.
Within the heart.
Imagine a small glowing ember.
A quiet warmth that has always been there.
Ready to be felt once more.
This ember is your inner spark.
And with each inhale,
Imagine gently feeding this ember.
Like a soft breath of oxygen bringing it back to life.
Perhaps you sense a subtle warmth.
Or a gentle pulsing within the heart.
And with each exhale,
Feel this ember growing brighter.
Expanding into a soft,
Glowing flame.
Now imagine your breath as a gentle breeze.
Fanning this flame with care.
Inhale.
And exhale.
The flame continues to grow.
Radiating warmth throughout the heart center.
And slowly the warmth begins to spread.
Flowing through the arm.
Into the hands.
Into the fingertips where tiny sparks of light begin to shimmer and glow.
Moving through your belly.
Warming and softening the center of your being.
And down into the legs.
Into the feet.
And into the toes where delicate points of light begin to twinkle and awaken.
And rising softly into the face,
Warming your cheeks.
Then up to the crown of the head.
Your whole body begins to glow with this gentle,
Steady light.
Let this warmth fill you.
Replenishing your energy.
Reviving your inner vitality.
Rest here,
Radiant soul,
For a few breaths.
And now I'm going to offer you three gentle reflective questions.
Let each one land and give yourself a few moments to feel into it.
What lights me up.
What brings me joy even in the smallest ways.
What am I grateful for today?
These are gentle reminders of what lives within you.
Now imagine yourself doing something that brings you joy.
And see yourself feeling alive,
Present,
And connected.
Let this feeling spread through your whole being.
Awakening parts of you that remember what it feels like to feel good.
Now repeat these affirmations silently or out loud.
Allowing them to resonate deep within your heart.
My inner spark is alive,
Vibrant,
And growing stronger within me.
I am worthy of deep rest and gentle renewal.
I am reconnecting with what brings me joy.
Allow these words to settle within your heart.
Like seeds resting in rich,
Nourishing soil.
Gently preparing them to bloom in their own perfect time.
And bring your awareness once more to the heart.
Feel the steady flame glowing within you.
This light is yours to tend.
A source of warmth.
Energy.
An inspiration that will always be here.
Take a big breath in.
Slow nourishing breath out.
And bring your awareness back to the body.
Wiggling the fingers and toes.
Perhaps a gentle stretch.
When you're ready.
Slowly opening the eyes.
Gently returning.
And carrying the slate with you.
Your spark is alive.
Your light is growing.
Moment by moment.
You May your inner light guide your next steps forward.
You are radiant.
You are whole.
And take this spark with you as you move throughout your day.
Namaste.
