Scientists tell us that the universe has no center.
In fact,
It is constantly expanding,
Making it impossible to find an edge or end.
It is absolutely astonishing how the cosmos holds its multitude of stars and the pockets of darkness that lie between them.
This magnificent force doesn't shy away from solar storms.
On the contrary,
It navigates through them with grace and ease to evolve.
And you are a small yet integral part of this vast greatness.
I've got a special meditation for you which will help you experience your limitless power.
Did you know that the cosmos needs your expansion too?
Why?
You could be wondering.
So that it can continue to reach even more majestic dimensions.
I believe that every day offers us the opportunity to grow into the person we were born to be.
And it is through our continuous practice that we learn how to shed each and every disempowering belief and choose what lights us up.
My expansion began exactly 15 years ago on the 15th of September 2010.
At that time I was working as an English teacher in my hometown high school in Bulgaria.
The new school year had just begun.
The sun was streaming through the windows,
Flowers greeted us from every corner and the classrooms were ready to welcome new students.
And then,
Just like that,
At the very end of the teacher's meeting,
When the head teacher said have a wonderful and successful new school year colleagues and was about to close the gathering,
I raised my hand.
My voice trembled but it was steady enough so that I could announce I'm going to resign.
A quiet sigh spread across the teacher's room.
The American Peace Corps volunteer sitting beside me,
Who already knew about my decision,
Gently touched my shaky knee.
She didn't speak a word of Bulgarian but she understood the bone I had just dropped.
The truth is that no one had expected me,
The only English philologist in the area,
Loved and respected at the peak of my teaching career,
Simply to walk away on the very first school day.
A heavy hush fell over the room.
You could hear a pin drop.
The only sound was the pounding of my own heart,
Beating wildly,
Ready to expand.
Because I was ready to expand.
I was ready to say no to a limiting educational system,
No to an aggressive head teacher who stifled every room in the school.
And I was ready to say a big wholehearted yes to my own dreams.
Looking back,
It was the boldest decision I had ever made.
A decision that immediately catapulted me onto a completely new timeline.
And yes,
It was scary,
Terrifying at times.
But it has also brought me immeasurable joy and fulfillment.
The decision wasn't a whim,
By the way.
It was a carefully chosen act of courage.
And it awakened a powerful force within me,
A force that has carried me every single time I stepped out of my comfort zone to follow my heart.
You know that force,
Don't you?
The one that whispers,
You are unstoppable.
You are limitless.
It is the same river of energy that runs through your veins,
Flows through your cells,
And carries you across peaks and valleys,
Always guiding you back into alignment with your soul's purpose.
All right,
Are you ready for the meditation that I promised you earlier?
Bring your journal,
As I've got a few questions to reflect on afterwards.
If you're cozy,
Let's get started.
I'll see you after the meditation.
Let's begin by taking a comfortable seated or lying position.
Close your eyes if this feels all right with you.
Otherwise,
Drop your gaze.
Take a deep,
Slow breath in and exhale gently.
Allow your body to relax,
Knowing you are safe and supported in this moment.
Bring your awareness to your breath.
Feel the gentle rise and fall of your chest.
With every inhale,
Invite in calmness.
With every exhale,
Let go of any tension,
Any weight you are carrying.
And now bring your attention to the center of your chest,
Your heart space.
Imagine a small golden light glowing there,
Warm and steady.
This is your soul's essence,
Pure,
Limitless,
And free.
As you breathe in,
Feel this light begin to grow,
Radiating warmth through your entire body.
It spreads through your chest,
Flowing into your arms,
Your hands,
Your legs,
Your feet.
With each breath,
It expands beyond your body,
Stretching outward in all directions.
Now,
In your mind's eye,
Picture yourself standing in a wide,
Open landscape.
It may be an endless field of wildflowers,
A mountaintop above the clouds,
Or the shoreline of an infinite ocean.
Whatever place comes to you,
Trust that it is exactly where you need to be.
Feel the openness around you.
There are no walls here,
No limits,
Just endless space stretching beyond what you can see.
Breathe in the fresh air and feel the breeze on your skin.
Let yourself soften into this freedom.
As you stand here,
Bring to mind any feelings of contraction,
Any fears or beliefs that have made you feel small.
Perhaps it's the sense that life is holding you back,
That circumstances are closing in on you.
That you're trapped in an old version of yourself.
Now,
Imagine these restrictions as a thin,
Translucent shell around you.
It may feel like a layer of old armor,
A cocoon that has grown too tight,
Or a misty barrier that dims your light.
This shell once served a purpose,
But now it is time for you to release it.
Take a deep breath in,
Filling your entire body with golden light.
Feel it pressing gently against this shell,
Testing its strength.
And as you exhale,
A small crack appears.
Breathe in again.
Your light pushes further,
Expanding beyond the old limitations.
And with the next exhale,
The shell begins to crumble.
Now take a powerful deep breath,
Feeling yourself with the energy of expansion.
As you exhale,
The entire shell shatters into dust,
Dissolving into the wind.
You are free.
Feel yourself now standing tall,
Your energy no longer contained.
Your soul is boundless,
Stretching in all directions,
Unrestricted,
Luminous.
How does it feel?
Now take a moment to feel this expansion.
Sense how it changes your posture,
Your breath,
The way you hold yourself.
Ask yourself,
How does it feel to take up space?
What new possibilities open up now that I'm no longer confined?
What is my soul calling me to step into?
Trust any images,
Feelings,
Or words that arise.
Now gently bring this feeling back into your body.
Picture your light settling within you,
Not shrinking,
But anchoring deep within.
Deep in your core.
This expansion is now part of you.
You carry it in your breath,
In your movement,
In your new choices.
Take a few deep breaths while visualizing this beautiful energy expanding in your body.
Every breath,
Feel how it is getting stronger,
Brighter,
And more vibrant.
Feeling every cell with light and vitality.
See this energy spreading through your limbs,
Your chest,
Your head,
And down to your toes.
Flowing freely and effortlessly.
As it expands,
Feel your entire body becoming lighter,
More open,
And free of any limitations.
With each inhale,
This limitless energy grows,
Infusing you with a sense of infinite possibility and boundless strength.
Let it fill you with a deep knowing that there is no end to the power,
Love,
And potential within you.
And when you're ready,
Wiggle your fingers,
Your toes.
Feel the surface beneath you.
Take one last deep breath,
And as you exhale,
Slowly open your eyes,
Knowing that no matter where you are,
You are limitless.
Welcome back!
This meditation always leaves me feeling empowered and limitless.
Now,
Bring your journal,
As I've got a few questions for you to ponder on.
I've also left them in the description below this video for your convenience.
You can go back to them later.
So the first question is,
What in your life is it asking to expand?
Perhaps it's a part of your career,
A relationship,
Your creativity,
Or your personal growth.
The second one is,
What areas of your life you're ready for more space,
More attention,
More energy?
The third question is,
What is calling for your attention?
What do you need to nourish,
To cultivate,
To allow to grow?
Alright,
Perhaps you want to share in the comments what's come up for you during the meditation and the journaling practice.
I'd really love to read about your experience.
You were born to be limitless,
And the hero within is waiting to be awakened.
