Connecting To Your Best Self - 5 Minute Daily Insight

In this practice, you will be guided in visualising yourself in the middle of a grove of trees, where you can enjoy connecting with nature. Here, you contemplate a beautiful butterfly, once an earthbound caterpillar, now transformed. You are invited to create a vision of your best self and to empower this vision through meditation. Change is as natural as a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. Dream of the best that you can be, and let your wings unfold. In 5, 10, and 20-minute versions.

Welcome to the Daily Insight.

I'm Carmen Warrington from Australia.

Thank you for joining me for meditation.

Today's practice is a visualization,

An invitation to use your imagination and creativity to enhance your meditation.

The purpose of this practice is to be in connection,

Connecting to that part of you which we would call your best self,

Your potential.

I hope you enjoy your meditation practice.

So sit relaxed and alert with eyes closed or slightly open,

Whatever serves you best today.

Breathe in deeply,

Breathe out.

A caterpillar,

Longing to fly,

Wrapped itself in a cocoon and dreamed of wings.

Visualize a caterpillar wrapped in its cocoon hanging by a silvery thread from the underside of a leaf attached to a tall tree.

This tree is one of a circle of trees.

Bring yourself to stand in the middle of this circle of magnificent trees where you can enjoy being alone and feeling safe and protected.

Watch as a butterfly lands on a nearby bush.

Hold out your hand,

Inviting the butterfly to land on your finger.

There.

Something in you identifies with this beautiful little being,

Once an earthbound caterpillar longing to be its best self.

Allow the moment to pass,

The butterfly flutters away.

A caterpillar longing to fly wrapped itself in a cocoon and dreamed of wings.

And you,

What do you long to change in yourself?

What is calling you to be the best that you can be?

Choose something about yourself,

Something you'd like to empower through meditation.

Create a vision of your best self.

Sit in your quiet power.

Awaken your highest self.

Dream of being the best that you can be.

And let your wings unfold.

This meditation is coming to a close.

Breathe in deeply.

Breathe out.

Thank you for meditating today.

And when you're ready,

Open your eyes.

Thank you, dear Carmen, for your wonderful meditations. I listen to your meditations again and again and wish I could tell you things that I experience and each time I hear something new and something different.But above all I love your loving and warm voice, it's like a golden hug.

I found peace and inspiration in the sacred Grove

Lovely and meaningful to sit humbly, under one leaf among so many trees, yet to know our individual potential is significant to the life of the whole. Thank you, Carmen 😊
