Welcome to this guided meditation to assist you in overcoming depression.
To begin,
Find a comfortable position in an environment where you feel safe and you are ready to go within.
Close your eyes and take some conscious,
Deep breaths in whatever way feels the most comfortable for you.
Get present,
Tuning into the now moment,
Knowing that now is all there ever is.
Every moment is a new now moment.
To choose what we want to feel or to choose what we want to let go of or call into our life.
As we become present in this very moment,
Know that thoughts may arise,
But just let them be.
Allow the arising and dissolving of thoughts,
Feelings and sensations.
Just allow that is-ness of life.
Let your resistance to anything in this moment be softened through an acceptance and surrender.
Just knowing that what is,
Is.
By accepting it,
You can then move forward with more ease and grace.
You can consciously choose to bring your awareness to your breath or just back to your body or this moment.
Now notice your breath as it moves through your body.
Feeling your tummy and chest expand as you inhale.
Feeling the warm air coming out as you exhale.
Feeling your body and the environment you are in.
Perhaps feeling your clothes against your skin or feeling your body just pressing against your seat or bed.
Now visualize a silver cord coming out of the base of your spine and going down into the earth beneath you.
You see this cord go down and down and down into the center of earth.
See it wrap around the core crystal inside Gaia,
Mother Earth.
Feel connected to the earth.
Feel a sense of safety and belonging,
Knowing that she is always there for you.
Holding and providing you with a nurturing and balanced energy.
Feel and know that you belong here on the planet.
This is your home.
This is your one lifetime here.
Feel the earth's energy come back up the silver cord,
Back through your body.
And this balanced energy anchors you into your heart space.
Feel grounded in the now moment.
Feel your heart center radiating with this new energy.
Feeling an aliveness.
Feeling an activation within you.
Maybe you feel the barriers around your heart begin to melt away.
A sense of constriction or tension may start to dissolve.
You may feel a strong energy in your heart center.
Or maybe you feel a little spark of something that you can't quite describe.
If you feel some painful emotions,
Allow them to be there.
Allow them to be felt and transformed by you.
Let the medicine of your own love and presence alchemize them.
And allow these emotions to dissipate.
And allow these emotions to leave when they are ready.
Whatever you are experiencing is meant for you.
Allow yourself to surrender into your heart and into this moment.
For healing.
For transformation.
Now visualize that you are breathing in and out from your heart space.
And as you breathe in,
You breathe in a crystalline white light into your heart.
It feels new,
Alive,
Gentle and cleansing.
And as you breathe out,
Allow all that dense and heavy and low emotions to leave your body.
This could appear as a grey light leaving your body and fading away.
That's it.
Keep breathing in and out through the heart space.
Visualize the crystalline white light not only filling your heart space,
But your entire body.
It's like you're radiating this renewed energy throughout your whole being.
Your mind,
Your body and your spirit.
There will come a point when there is not so much dense energy that is needing to leave.
There will.
And you will feel lighter,
Cleansed or have a sense of release.
You may notice that your body doesn't feel so tense or constricted any longer.
So just tune in to how you feel and trust the process.
Honor if it's a quick shift or if it takes some time before you feel the heaviness lift.
There is no rush here.
Just acceptance and allowance of what is arising and dissolving.
Now notice the subtle shifts that have occurred within you.
And now visualize a ball of golden energy emerging from your heart space.
See it floating about 3 meters out in front of you.
See this ball of golden energy shape shift into what looks like another version of you.
And look back at this version of you.
See how he or she is smiling back at you.
And just notice how happy they look.
How loving and compassionate they appear.
Notice their unique qualities and essence.
This version of you is seeing things from a heightened state of consciousness and awareness.
This version of you knows who you truly are at a soul level.
And knows you better than anyone else.
This version of you always has your back.
They are always there for you when it seems like no one else is.
This version of you is always wanting to guide you,
To support you and communicate with you.
When you feel ready,
I invite you to go up into this new version of you and give them a big hug.
Just knowing that someone loves you and cares for you.
And just tune in to this unconditional love that is here for you.
Now you see this version of you uniting with you,
Dissolving into you,
Into your heart center.
Know that this version of you is your higher self.
And they are always within you.
You are never alone.
Feel the energy of them,
Of you,
Of the power of your higher self within you.
Know that this is your natural state.
This is who you really are.
And you can call upon your higher self at any time.
For someone to talk to for guidance.
For someone to give you a hug and loving energy.
To encourage you,
To inspire you.
You can tap into the energy and essence of your higher self at any time.
For more empowerment,
More self-worth.
And to embody more of your true soul's essence.
You just need to have the pure intent to do so.
And be open to it.
Remember that it's time to come home to who you truly are.
Beyond the pain,
The suffering and the trauma.
Your soul is calling you home.
To be your true authentic self in human form.
To be who you truly are before the world told you who to be.
Step forward from this space,
Seeing this space of experiencing depression as an initiation.
As an awakening and activation for opening up and remembering who you are.
So you can embody it in this lifetime.
And just take it moment by moment.
Day by day.
Fully trust,
Courage and compassion in your heart.
Knowing that you are here to be you.
To not suppress who you are.
And you are so supported and guided in all ways.
You are loved.
