Transcript

This meditation is about developing a mindset so that you may stay true to yourself.

Find a comfortable seated position,

Close your eyes and take a deep breath in.

Exhale slowly,

Letting go of any tension or stress.

Now imagine yourself in a serene and peaceful place.

It could be a quiet beach,

A lush forest or a cozy spot in your own home.

Feel the calmness surrounding you.

As you settle into this space,

Visualize a movie screen in front of you.

This is the movie of your life,

With scenes capturing various moments,

Emotions and experiences.

Picture the scenes where you felt most authentic and true to yourself.

See the vibrant colours,

Hear the sounds and feel the emotions.

Take a moment to relive those empowering moments.

Now observe the scenes where you may have drifted away from your true self.

Without judgement,

Witness those moments with compassion.

Acknowledge them and gently release any negativity associated with them.

As the movie continues,

Imagine a golden thread weaving through each scene,

Connecting all the authentic moments.

This thread represents your true self,

A constant presence throughout your life.

Visualize this golden thread growing brighter and stronger with each passing moment.

Feel its warmth and energy coursing through your being,

Grounding you in authenticity.

Now bring your awareness back to the present moment.

Feel the support of the golden thread within you,

Guiding you to stay true to yourself in every aspect of your life.

Take a deep breath in and as you exhale,

Gently open your eyes.

Carry the essence of your true self with you as you continue your day.
