This nine-minute meditation is centered around the topic of finding purpose in your life. We are all seeking to live a meaningful happy life, but often we don’t even know what that means. We tend to look outwards for joy, we tend to live by other people´s expectations. We need a shift of perspective; we need to start listening to our hearts as they are the guides to our purpose.

Take a moment to arrive.

Come to a comfortable seated posture.

Feeling the surface or the ground underneath you.

Sitting upright with your spine long and your shoulders relaxing gently back and down.

Your neck long,

Your chin parallel to the ground.

Your eyes closed.

Arrive here.

Settle into stillness.

Begin to notice your breathing now.

Natural flow of breath.

Softly flowing in and out of your nose.

Leaving you feeling relaxed and aware.

Softly flowing in and out of your nose.

Sometimes we struggle to find meaning and purpose in our lives.

At the end of the day we feel that we are lacking happiness,

That we are lacking a true sense of direction and fulfillment.

We are all wanting to live a purpose driven life,

But we often don't even know what that means to us personally.

We are so caught up in fulfilling our daily responsibilities.

We're getting lost in modern day distractions.

We're trying to live up to certain expectations that we have not even chosen ourselves.

We're looking for the next thing that promises us to bring happiness.

We're looking outwards for meaning and purpose.

We have been misguided.

We're living under the misperception that outer world achievements will bring us joy,

Will create purpose.

That this is an illusion.

If you would know that your last day on earth was right around the corner.

Ask yourself.

What would I change today?

How do I want to spend my last few days?

Let all the mind guided delusions drop away.

Let all the outer world expectations drop away.

Let what is meaningful to you surface.

Let your innermost true sense of meaning come to light.

We need a shift,

A shift away from letting our minds guide our lives to letting us be guided by our hearts.

Shift from letting the mind decide what should be done to feeling what is right.

They are living from your heart.

Begin listening to your heart.

Bring your awareness to your heart now.

You can even place your hands onto your heart,

Creating a physical connection with your heart.

Feel your heart.

Breathe into your heart.

Feel the softness,

The tenderness coming from your heart,

Expanding into your whole body,

Into your whole being.

Let your heart know that from now on you will listen to it,

That you will let the voice of the heart be your guide.

Speak to your heart.

I am listening.

I hear you.

I am listening.

I hear you.

I am listening.

I hear you.

Start living in accordance with what feels good and right to you.

If you feel that you have to disguise yourself,

That you have to be someone that you are not,

This is a clear sign that this something is not in line with your purpose.

Whenever you feel lost,

Return to listening to your heart.

Let your heart guide you in finding your purpose.

Feel once again into your heart.

Feel the connection to your heart.

Gently bow your head forward,

Chin coming into the direction of the chest.

Bowing to your heart in gratitude.

Thanking your heart for being your guide in your journey to finding purpose,

Meaning and happiness.

Sufferings CONTEMPTED.

I've never really listened to my heart. I have gotten caught up in daily routine and distractions. It clicked this morning during your meditation that my purpose in life should come from my heart. I'm going to begin setting time aside each day to listen to my heart. Thank you for sharing this beautiful meditation.
