Hi there and welcome to your meditation.
Let's find a comfy place to settle in for our practice together.
Today,
We are creating space to choose our own destiny.
You can take responsibility for the direction you'd like to head in your life at any time.
Your future is in your own hands.
It might not seem like it all the time.
Things happen in life every day that we don't have control over.
But the key is that we're not seeking control.
But rather we're choosing how we want to live.
How we want to view our life.
And where we want to go.
Despite the cards we've been dealt.
Believe it or not,
The hardships you've experienced can actually be a catalyst to propel you forward.
Rather than a reason that might hold you back.
You may have been letting excuses keep you from choosing your life fully.
But we can shift this anytime.
Today is the day.
You have the power to get back up.
Again and again.
And yet again,
When life knocks you down.
Today,
You are choosing your own destiny.
No matter what has happened.
No matter what others think you can or can't do.
You have the power to choose.
You can decide not to be a victim of your circumstances.
If you are courageous enough,
You get to choose your own destiny.
Let's begin the meditation.
Relax your body just a little bit more.
And close your eyes if that's comfortable.
Sit up a little bit taller,
Allowing the posture in your body to be an expression of the readiness you have within you.
To choose your own destiny.
Take a deep breath in.
Arriving in the now.
And let your exhale slowly release out into the world.
Breathe deeply as you make the choice to say yes to yourself.
Yes to your desires.
Yes to your dreams.
Yes to the hopes you may have carried throughout your entire life.
As well as the ones that are new.
You are saying yes to how you want to live your life.
Right now.
Simply by being willing to be here for yourself.
There are so many reasons we say no to ourselves.
Out of fear,
Hesitation,
Practicality,
Responsibility,
The need to put others first.
And by saying yes to ourselves,
We're not dropping our loyalty to others or pretending that there aren't obstacles to getting to where we want to go.
But this is a moment when you become more loyal to your own needs.
As well as allowing yourself to believe that there is no obstacle too big to move through.
It all starts with a yes.
As you sit comfortably in this meditation.
See if you can also sit comfortably and confidently.
Where you are in your life right now.
Even if you're not exactly where you want to be yet.
Gently repeat to yourself in your mind.
Yes,
I am ready to choose my own destiny.
Yes.
I am ready to choose my own destiny.
But the thing about choosing our own destiny is that we don't have to come up with a clear-cut plan of how to do everything we want to accomplish.
The key to moving in the direction that we want to live is moving closer and closer towards how we want to feel.
Take a moment to think about the destiny you believe is waiting for you.
Don't hold back.
Let it be grand.
What is your destiny?
And now simply ask yourself.
How do I want to feel?
When I'm living the destiny.
I know is meant for me.
Name this feeling to yourself.
For example.
When I am aligned with my destiny.
I will feel more balanced.
When I am aligned with my destiny,
I will feel more alive.
When I'm aligned with my destiny.
I will feel more at peace.
What will you feel more of?
When you're aligned with your own destiny.
Start to breathe a little deeper.
And imagine filling your entire body with that feeling.
Feel your feet and legs.
Your hands and arms.
Your torso and head.
Fill your heart with this feeling.
And embody that feeling as you breathe.
As if your destiny has already arrived.
Feel it in every corner of your being.
Now begin to repeat to yourself.
I'm inviting in.
And the feeling that you're feeding right now.
I'm inviting in.
I'm inviting in confidence.
I'm inviting in.
Abundance.
What are you inviting in?
Now say to yourself in your mind,
I always have the power to choose what I invite into my life.
And what I let in creates my destiny.
I always have the power to choose what I invite into my life.
And what I let in.
Creates my destiny.
I always have the power.
To choose what I invite into my life.
And what I let in.
Creates my destiny.
We often think we need a perfect roadmap to getting somewhere we want to be in order for our life to work out or be worth living.
But the human experience lends itself to many highs and lows.
Many curveballs being thrown at us along the way.
We can't control what all of our circumstances in life will be.
But we can choose what we are inviting in along the way.
Instead of waiting for our circumstances to be perfect for these feelings to arise,
You have the power to invite them in first.
And the destiny will follow.
Feel yourself.
Full of the feelings you are meant to be filled with as you move through your day,
Getting closer to your destiny.
You never have to force yourself to feel them or pretend that they're there when there's a tough day.
But you always have the power to invite them in.
When you open the door just a little bit to invite those feelings in.
What you want to experience in your body.
Mind.
And soul.
Your life will begin to reflect this more often.
And the destiny you're longing to experience will be yours.
Take one more deep breath.
Into embodying a yes to yourself.
Take one more deep breath into the feelings you are inviting into your life.
And take one more deep breath.
Into choosing your own destiny.
You are so much more powerful than you probably give yourself credit for.
Don't wait for peace,
Abundance,
Love,
Joy or balance to arrive after you've gotten somewhere.
Start inviting these feelings into your days more often and you will get to where you're meant to be.
It up a little bit taller.
Maybe let a smile fall upon your face.
And when you're ready,
Blink your eyes open.
But rather than just moving away from this meditation.
And back into what life was like before it.
Open your eyes just a little bit wider.
Breathe just a little bit deeper.
And believe just a tiny bit more that you are empowered to choose how you are with yourself as you make your way to your destiny.
Thank you for taking your time to practice with me today.
I'm excited for what's to come next in your life,
And as always,
I look forward to our next meditation together.
