Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.
Anais Nin.
As always,
Begin by settling into a comfortable posture,
Allowing yourself to relax fully.
Close your eyes if that feels comfortable and take a few deep and long breaths,
Releasing all the tension,
Stress,
Or the remnants of anxiety with each long exhale.
Feel your body becoming calm and still,
Grounded in the here and now.
With each inhale,
Imagine that you're breathing in a sense of openness and possibility.
With each exhale,
Let go of any fear,
Doubt,
Or need to control.
Allow your breath to carry you to a place of calm readiness,
Preparing you for the journey that goes within.
Now,
In your mind's eye,
See yourself standing on a quiet mountain path,
Under a vast,
Dark sky sprinkled with stars.
There is no moonlight tonight.
Instead,
It's the stars that illuminate your surroundings,
Each one gently glimmering with potential.
The sky above is expansive and endless,
Just like the infinite possibilities available to you.
You feel the cool night air and the sense of stillness all around you.
As you stand here,
Under this starry sky,
You know that this moment is an invitation to dream beyond your usual boundaries,
To embrace the vastness of what could be.
As you look up at the stars,
Imagine one star shining particularly brightly.
This star is your inner guide,
The source of wisdom and courage within you.
You focus on this star,
Feeling its light filling you with a sense of purpose and direction,
Illuminating the path ahead,
Even if you can't see the full journey just yet.
Imagine that this star is a spark from Jupiter,
The planet of expansion and knowledge.
Allow yourself to feel inspired by Jupiter's energy,
Trusting that you're supported in your quest for growth,
Truth and adventure.
Feel this connection to your inner guidance,
Knowing that it's here to lead you toward new experiences.
Now take a moment to reflect on what you want to invite into your life.
Let each intention form clearly in your mind and as you set it,
Feel a sense of calm trust that it will manifest at the right time.
As we prepare to leave this quiet path,
Take one last look up at the stars,
Feeling their light fill you with a sense of confidence and readiness for the year ahead.
You're carrying this expansive and adventurous energy within you,
Ready to guide you wherever you go.
It's time to gently bring your awareness back to your breath,
Feeling the calm presence of your body in this moment.
As you take a deep breath in,
Imagine filling yourself with this energy of possibility and as you exhale,
Let it settle deep within you.
From my heart to yours,
With all my love and gratitude.
Namaste.
