Good morning,
Beautiful soul.
Lovely to see you here.
So light your candle slowly and deliberately.
And as the flame awakens,
Allow yourself to settle into stillness.
And take a deep breath in through your nose.
And exhale gently through your mouth.
And then again breathing in calm.
And breathing out uncertainty.
One more time,
Breathing in trust.
And breathing out doubt.
And allow your gaze to soften as you watch the dancing flame.
There is nowhere to go,
Nothing to solve,
Nothing to figure out.
And for these moments,
You simply sit with the light.
And as thoughts arise,
Imagine placing them beside the candle rather than carrying them.
The flame can hold them for you.
Continue gazing softly at the flame.
And imagine yourself standing at a beautiful forest crossroads.
Several paths stretch before you.
And in waking life these paths represent choices,
Possibilities,
Decisions and unanswered questions.
Notice how you feel standing here.
Do not judge what arises.
Perhaps there is uncertainty.
Maybe it's excitement.
Or possibly fear.
Just allow it all.
Now,
Look down.
Beneath your feet,
Ancient roots run deep into the earth.
And feel those roots extending from your own body.
You are supported.
You are held.
You are connected to wisdom far older than your worries.
And the crossroads is not a place of being lost.
It is a place of possibility.
Notice a mist around the paths and the mist represents confusion.
Overthinking.
Second guessing.
And the need to know everything before taking a step.
And as you watch your candle flame,
Imagine it's light growing brighter.
With each breath,
The flame expands.
And that golden light reaches the mist slowly,
Gently.
The fog begins to dissolve.
And you start to release the need to know every answer.
You release fear of making mistakes.
You release the belief that there is only one right path.
So watch as the fog continues to clear.
The flame knows exactly what it is doing.
It does not question how to shine.
It simply shines.
Now bring your attention to your heart and imagine a small candle flame glowing within your chest.
This is your inner knowing.
That beautiful voice beneath all the noise.
And ask it gently,
What do I already know?
What is beneath that I need to bring out?
And allow silence.
Don't force an answer.
And maybe words will come,
Maybe feelings,
Perhaps only peace.
Trust what arises.
What choices feel lighter?
What would you choose if you trusted yourself completely?
Just rest in stillness and let your soul speak to you and give it space to be heard.
Now return to the vision of the crossroads.
Notice that one path now seems illuminated.
It may not be the entire path.
Perhaps only the first few steps are visible.
That is enough.
Life really reveals the whole journey.
It reveals the next step.
And see yourself moving toward that path and notice how your body feels.
Feel confidence awakening.
Not certainty.
Confidence.
There is a difference.
Certainty demands guarantees.
Confidence trusts the journey.
Certainty demands guarantees.
Confidence trusts the journey.
Trust yourself.
Trust your timing.
Trust that wisdom within you.
One clear step.
Is enough.
Bring your full attention back to the candle,
Observing the flame.
It's steady,
Present.
It's certain in its purpose.
And imagine drawing its golden light into your heart,
Into your mind,
Into every cell of your body.
Feel clarity replace confusion.
Trust.
Replacing hesitation.
Movement,
Replacing stagnation.
Indecision no longer holds power over you.
You are guided.
You are capable.
You are wise.
And you are ready to move forward.
And take three deep breaths.
Breathing in clarity.
Breathing and courage.
Breathing in trust.
When you're ready,
Place your hands over your heart.
And know that you have released the burden of choosing perfectly and are embracing the gift of choosing consciously.
Now bow gently to your candle.
And when the time feels right,
Extinguish the flame.
Knowing that its light continues to burn within you.
Namaste.
