Listening For Inner Guidance

We all possess an inner knowing, a natural intelligence, that is always present, and we can open to it at any time for guidance, answers, and direction. The more we listen, the clearer it becomes. So this meditation helps us tune in, listen, and receive, recognizing the answers when they arrive.

Welcome to a meditation on listening within. So let's begin. By finding somewhere comfortable to sit. Where you can allow your body to settle. And when you're ready. Gently close your eyes. And bring your awareness to the breath. Not changing it, Simply noticing the natural rhythm of life. Flowing in and flowing out. Now bring your awareness to your body. Sensing it from within. Not as an object. But as a living, Feeling presence. Alive. Responsive. And subtle. And let your awareness. Refine itself. And become more receptive. As though you are listening from within. Not with your mind. But with your body. Begin to notice. That your body has its own language. Its own way of communicating. Through sensation. Through feeling. There may be a sense of Openness. O tightness. Lightness. Or heaven us. Ease. Or resistance. Contraction. Or expansion. And now. Effortlessly. Allow your mind to be drawn to something that's happening in your life. May be to do with health. Or perhaps a challenge you're facing. A project you have. Place you were drawn to. Or a person. And notice. How does your body respond? Does it soften? Open. Feel light and at ease. Or does it contract? Titan. And feel tense. There is no right or wrong. Only awareness. And now begin to recognise. That this subtle response is your inner knowing. A natural intelligence. Always present. Always guiding. And the more you listen. The clearer it becomes. And now very gently Bring your mind to something that you know that nourishes you. Something simple. Perhaps being out in nature. Or a place you love. A way of relaxing. Or pursuing a passion. Or connecting with someone you love. And notice how. Your body responds. Perhaps a mountain? Woo-hoo! Or a quiet sense of yes. And rest in that feeling. Allowing it to deepen. And now become aware Look beneath all of this. There is a deeper current. The life force. Flowing through you. Supporting. Guiding. Sustaining. And as you listen. And open. You are aligning yourself with that flow. And now. Any ideas of what you should do? Orbee. Any expectations you have of yourself. Just for this moment. Let them fall away. Returning instead. To simple. Knowing. And rest here for 10 minutes or so. In the body. In awareness. And in trust. Knowing, That you do not need to do anything. You only need to listen. And now. When you feel ready. Bring your awareness back to the breath. Back to your body. And gently. Become aware of the space around you. And in your own time. Slowly open your eyes. And as you move back into your day. You'll begin to notice. In small, Quiet ways. What nourishes you.
