Let this guided meditation serve as reminder that you are limitless. You have potential to keep on evolving with the flow of life. It is time to release identities that are no longer serving your journey so you can embrace new beginnings with an open heart and mind.

Transcript

This guided meditation is designed to help you release old identities so you can make room for the new.

Close your eyes and get settled into your space.

Take a deep breath in through the nose and sigh it out through the mouth.

Then breathe in through the nose and sigh it all out.

Settling into your body with each inhale and exhale.

Open your mind's eye to an image of yourself standing on the shore of a beautiful calm ocean.

As you look out at the horizon,

Feel a sense of peace and serenity wash over you.

Take a deep breath and allow yourself to sink into the rhythm of the waves.

Release any tension or resistance you may be holding onto.

As you stand before the power of the ocean,

Reflect on the various identities you've carried throughout your life.

These identities have shaped the way you see yourself and how others perceive you.

Visualize these identities as layers of clothes that you've been wearing.

Each one representing a different aspect of yourself.

Some of these layers feel light and comfortable,

More natural,

While others feel heavy,

Restrictive,

And foreign.

With each breath,

Begin to shed these clothes,

Letting go of the old identities that no longer serve you.

Strip away the layers of fear,

Doubt,

And insecurity,

Feeling them fall away from your body like discarded garments.

As you release these old identities,

Feel a sense of lightness and freedom wash over you.

Realize that you are not defined by any one identity,

But rather by the ever-changing essence of your being.

In this moment,

You're simply you.

Pure,

Free,

And whole.

Take a deep breath,

Filling your heart space with life.

Welcoming the space for new identities to emerge and evolve.

You are a limitless being,

Capable of embodying countless identities and experiences.

As you stand on the shore of the ocean,

Feel a deep sense of gratitude for the journey that has brought you to this very moment.

Thank the old identities for the lessons they have taught you and the experiences they have brought into your life.

With an open heart and an open mind,

Step forward into the unknown,

Ready to embrace the ever-changing dance of life and the endless possibilities that lie ahead.

When you're ready,

Gently wiggle your fingers and toes.

Take a deep breath in and out,

And come back to the present moment.

Thank you for meditating with me.
