Mindfulness practice 11.
Imagine,
Dream big.
Get comfortable in a seated position.
Breathe.
With your eyes closed or gaze down,
Focus on your inhales and exhales.
Let go of any distractions that come into your awareness.
Continue to breathe and with every inhale and exhale begin to relax just a little bit more.
Notice how your body feels in this moment.
Notice your energy.
See if you can extend the exhales to be a bit longer than your inhales.
This calms the parasympathetic nervous system.
Do not force the breath.
Gently find some peace and stillness.
If you are having a hard time calming yourself,
Focus on where in your body you feel any anxious energy and breathe into that area.
As you inhale,
Breathe in the disturbed energy and as you exhale,
Gently say release.
Continue this process until you feel a sense of calm.
When you are ready in the stillness,
Invite yourself to consider the following questions.
Ask each question and wait to see if you hear or sense some kind of response from deep within before moving ahead to the next question.
Check in and make sure that the responses are coming from your inner knowing or your heart as opposed to coming from a thought in your head.
Gently open yourself to receiving whatever arises.
This is your desire inventory.
What do I want?
How am I meant to manifest my highest purpose?
How can I move toward my goals with maximum joy in my life?
What might my best life look like?
What might my best life feel like?
Take a moment to dream.
What if you could move forward with your highest purpose?
What might it feel like to spread your wings and fly?
What might it feel like to live a life where you wake up every morning so excited by your choices?
You are ready to take on the world.
You are ready to soar.
Stave off your conditioned self that might be interfering with your dream or minimizing it or telling you why it is not possible and just sit with that positive,
Inspired feeling for as long as you like.
Relish the feeling.
When you are ready,
Take a deep breath and flutter your eyes open.
Stretch your body and take a moment to transition your focus back into the room.
Breathe.
Welcome back.
Feel free to journal now about your experience or about any ideas or insights that arose for you during this process.
