This meditation is designed for entrepreneurs and small business owners.
Specifically to help us get clarity when we feel overwhelmed,
When we are in the clutches of indecision or procrastination.
To begin,
Find yourself a comfortable seated position,
Ensuring your spine is straight and relaxed.
Ideally,
You won't be disturbed for the time that we are spending together here.
And if you haven't already done so,
Close your eyes.
Take a nice deep breath in,
Fill your chest and belly and then let that breath go with a sigh out through your mouth.
Breathing in again when you are ready,
Draw the breath in through your nose and then letting it go with a sigh out through your mouth.
And one more deep breath when you are ready,
Drawing the breath in through your nose and then letting it go out through the mouth with an audible sigh.
Letting go of tension and settling into a comfortable breathing rhythm,
Natural and relaxed.
Finding a rhythm that works for you.
And as you breathe,
Your to-do list melts away.
The client work,
The emails,
Social media,
Invoices,
It all melts away as you focus on your breath.
Breathing in and out,
Noticing all of your attention upon your breath,
Noticing the rise and fall of your chest,
The change in the air temperature as you breathe in and as you breathe out.
Take a moment now to place your attention at the centre of your chest,
Perhaps gently resting your hand here,
The palm of your hand resting gently on the centre of your chest.
As you breathe in and out,
As we shift out of that busy beta brainwave state,
Making our way down to alpha,
Becoming more relaxed,
Feeling more grounded as we breathe.
Taking a moment here to explore where in your business you are feeling a lack of clarity.
Allow it to come to mind now.
Your hand still at the centre of your chest.
Take a moment to ask yourself silently or out loud,
What is the clarity I need in this moment?
We're going to take some time in silence for a moment.
Allowing the answers to come to you in whatever way they will.
Take your time,
There is no rush.
Take a moment to ask yourself,
What is the clarity I need in this moment?
What's most important is that we trust ourselves,
Trust that innate knowing,
Trust our intuition.
Even if it does not make logical sense in the moment.
And if you feel as though you need a little longer,
Simply pause this meditation and sit in that silence,
Giving yourself all the time that you need.
And when you are ready,
Take a nice deep breath in,
Draw the breath in through your nose,
Fill your chest and belly,
Hold at the top of the inhale for just a moment before letting that breath go out through the mouth with an audible sigh.
Bring some gentle movement back into your body,
Wriggle your fingers and toes,
Have a nice big stretch,
Bringing yourself back into your surroundings.
And when you are ready and not a moment sooner,
Gently blink open your eyes.
If it feels right,
You may like to take pen to paper and jot down any notes from your experience.
Please note that you can return to this practice at any point in time,
Remembering of course to trust yourself.
Simply return to this practice and repeat.
