Welcome to this meditation on truthfulness.

Today we will journey inward to find,

Acknowledge and live our true essence.

By embracing truthfulness we align with our authentic self,

Fostering greater clarity,

Integrity and harmony in our lives.

Let's begin by finding a comfortable position.

Seated or laying down,

Somewhere you can feel relaxed.

As you close over your eyes,

Take a deep inhale through the nose,

Open your mouth as you exhale,

Close over your eyes,

Take a few deep breaths,

Allowing yourself to settle in to the present moment.

Start to notice the connection between your body and the surface it touches.

Feel the weight of your body being fully supported.

Continue to breathe as you inhale deeply and exhale slowly,

Releasing any tension or tightness with each breath.

Allow your shoulders to drop,

Your hands to soften.

Relax the muscles around your face,

Fully settle in to the present moment,

Feeling grounded and at ease.

Bring your awareness inward.

Begin by focusing on your breath,

Noticing the natural rhythm as you inhale and exhale.

With each breath,

Invite a sense of curiosity and openness into your heart space.

Take a moment to reflect on the concept of truthfulness.

Consider what it means to you to be true to yourself,

Allowing any thoughts or feelings to arise without judgment,

Simply observing them.

Think about a time when you felt truly authentic.

This could be a moment when you were fully aligned with your values,

Expressing yourself honestly and openly.

How did it feel to be in that state?

What emotions or sensations did you experience?

Allow these memories and feelings to wash over you,

Connecting you to your true essence.

Recognize that this authenticity is always within you,

Waiting to be acknowledged and embraced.

Reflect on how you can bring more truthfulness into your daily life.

Consider areas where you may be not fully expressing your true self.

What holds you back from being authentic?

Reflect on any fears or doubts that arise.

Acknowledge them with compassion.

As you continue to breathe,

Imagine letting go of these fears and doubts.

Visualize yourself living in alignment with your true essence,

Expressing your thoughts,

Feelings and values with clarity and confidence.

Continue to breathe in and out.

Picture a radiant light within you,

Representing your true essence.

See this light growing brighter and more expansive with each breath.

Feeling your entire being.

Allow this light to dissolve any remaining barriers to your authenticity,

Leaving you feeling clear,

Empowered and aligned.

Silently repeat the following affirmations to yourself.

I honor my true essence.

I express my truth with clarity and confidence.

I live in alignment with my values.

I am authentic and true to myself.

Visualize this radiant light extending outward from your heart.

Touching those around you and creating a ripple effect of truthfulness and integrity.

When you are ready,

Gently bring your awareness back to your breath.

Noticing the sensations in your body.

Noticing your surroundings.

Take a few last deep breaths,

Grounding yourself in this very moment.

May you carry this sense of truthfulness and authenticity with you as you move throughout your day.

Remember that living in alignment with your true essence not only benefits you,

But also inspires and uplifts those around you.

Thank you for joining me in this meditation.

Namaste
