The Doorway - A Guided Meditation

I wrote this meditation as a way of facing the challenges of coming to new places in our lives, new doorways that may seem frightening to us at the beginning. As these new doors open for us, we may feel as if we do not know how to step through them. The visualization brings us to a place where we can find support and comfort and relax into these new places knowing we are supported both through our connection with ourselves as well as our connection with the Divine.

Transcript

I'd like you to take a deep breath in,

Breathing from your feet all the way to the top of your head and exhaling from the top of your head all the way down to the bottom of your feet,

Resting to the ground beneath you,

Feeling the heartbeat of the earth beneath your feet.

Imagine a doorway right in front of you.

It is crafted from white oak and hand carved with intricate swirling designs.

The door is set within a beautiful arch.

You begin to look closely at the door and soon realize that you do not recognize it.

Questions flood your mind.

Where's the handle?

How do I open it?

Do I knock?

Suddenly more questions flood your mind.

Where does it go?

Who is on the other side?

All of a sudden sheer panic grips you,

Dark fear,

Anxiety,

Cold sweating palms.

Your breath becomes short and catches in your throat.

Afraid,

You turn away from the door,

From the unknown.

Tears begin to spill down your cheeks.

I can't,

You say.

Your shoulders slump heavy under the weight of fear and doubt.

And yet from some unseen place,

A presence touches your shoulder gently.

A deep calm begins to fill your body as you feel a breath of spirit enter your lungs and the heavy weight of doubt and despair lift.

You turn your head back to look once again at the door,

The arch.

The smooth edges of the arch begin to glow with a transparent gold and white light.

The light is sheer and strong and a quiet voice speaks around you,

Filling the space.

She says,

Go beyond.

The door opens for you.

You take a step through the archway and smile.

Thank you spirit for always being present in each of our lives and guiding us in the face of the not knowing.

Take a deep breath in and as you exhale,

Remember that you are always guided by the spirit that is around you and within you.
