This session will be a journaling meditation practice.
You will have two areas to journal about today.
You can divide your paper into sections or have more than one sheet available to you.
One section will be for your to-do list and random thoughts that come to mind as you sit down to meditate.
Writing them down will clear your mind to be prepared to explore and reflect today.
The second section will be where you can write down the affirmation,
Your questions,
Thoughts,
And answers to journal prompts.
When you are ready and you've gathered a notepad or journal and a pen,
Sit in a place where you can be comfortable as you listen and have space to write as we reflect together.
I will allow a few moments for you to get ready.
Before we begin,
Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths.
You may hold your hands in prayer position and ask the universe,
God,
Whatever higher power you believe in for guidance throughout this meditation.
Once you feel your body become quiet and still,
We will get started.
Open your eyes and open your mind to hear what will be shared with you today.
We will reflect on an affirmation.
And you can pause to write this down if you need to.
I am ready to make lasting positive changes.
I am ready to make lasting positive changes.
Now that you've written it down,
Let's say it out loud together.
I am ready to make lasting positive changes.
As you say and hear these words,
Make note of anything that jumps out at you.
Are there certain things,
Images,
Or feelings invoked as you hear this affirmation?
I am ready to make lasting positive changes.
Take a few moments again to close your eyes and take a few deep breaths.
How are you feeling as you sit quietly with this?
Now we will explore a few questions relating to this reflection.
You can sit calmly and think about them,
Meditate on them,
Ask the universe,
God,
Or other higher power for answers,
And return to do some journaling later,
Or you can take time to journal in this moment.
Feel free to pause this recording as you wish.
So this session can give you whatever you need right now.
I will leave a bit of time in between the questions for you to think right or sit peacefully feeling whatever is laying on your heart and mind right now.
What do I want to see change?
What must I do to make those changes?
How do I want to feel?
How do I want to feel?
How do I want to feel?
When you are ready,
Wrap up your meditation by taking a few moments to write down anything that you'd like to explore further.
Is there anything else that came to mind while thinking about these questions?
Any specific words or thoughts that you'd like to hold on to?
Is there anything that came to you during this time that you would like to move forward with in your daily life?
As we come to a close,
Bring both hands to your heart space.
You can bring them into prayer position or rest them on your chest.
Take one last full,
Big breath in.
As you exhale,
Let your hands fall down onto your lap.
Then lower your chin down to your chest and open your eyes if they were closed.
As you move forward with your day,
Remember that you are free to create the life that you desire.
