This visualization aims to awaken your truth,
Guiding you to transform your negative thoughts,
The ones that may be getting in the way from living your full potential.
When you're ready,
Settle into a comfortable position,
Seated or lying,
Whatever helps you connect to this present moment.
And cross your legs,
Allow your arms to fall to your side or rest your hands on your lap,
Belly or chest,
And close your eyes or gaze softly about six feet in front of you.
Breathe deeply into the nose and out of the nose.
See if you can direct that next inhale all the way down into your belly and to the back of your ribcage and slowly exhale.
One more nice deep breath in and out.
Then allow your breath to just be finding its own rhythm.
There may be thoughts,
Feelings,
Or physical sensations trying to pull your attention.
This is normal.
Just notice them as you would tiny grains of sand blowing along the beach.
Then gently bring your focus back to the breath,
Feeling it coming in and feeling it going out.
Bring to mind a time when you felt loved unconditionally by someone special or even a pet or a spirit guide.
This could be a recent time or long ago.
Where were you?
Was it indoors or outdoors?
Think of as many details as possible.
Colors,
Textures,
Sounds,
Scents.
What else about this time do you remember?
Imagine walking slowly through this space.
Familiarize yourself with the details.
How you felt.
Who was there.
Walking around you notice a beautiful object,
Maybe you never saw it before,
But now it's clear.
This is a special object just for you that captures this moment in time,
This feeling of unconditional love.
If it's small enough,
Put it in your pocket for safekeeping and if it's large,
Shrink it down and carry this loving token with you so every time you look at it,
You're reminded of how much you're loved.
Continue to meander through this space and bring to mind something you've always wanted to accomplish for yourself,
But never seemed to complete or even started.
What is it that you desire for yourself?
And what are the thoughts you have about yourself that keep getting in the way?
Maybe it's something like I'm not good enough,
I don't deserve this.
These are the thoughts that seem to be stopping you before you even start.
Whatever those thoughts are,
They're not you.
They only represent the fear you believe about yourself.
Return your focus back to that token in your pocket,
Remembering how loved you are,
Continuing to walk around this familiar space and time of unconditional love and then you've stopped walking.
Well,
There's a rock at your feet.
This rock represents these false beliefs about yourself,
All the fears and negative thoughts that don't belong to you.
What does this rock look like?
What color is it?
What's it feel like?
Maybe it's covered in moss because it never seems to move,
It's always there.
What else do you notice about this rock that stopped you lying at your feet?
As you look closer,
You observe a light glowing from underneath the rock.
Golden white rays shine from the rock's edges.
Curious you try to push the rock aside,
But it's too heavy.
The light feels warm on your fingers.
It flickers as if it wants to escape.
You try to help release the light,
But the rock's not budging.
So instead,
Take a nice,
Big,
Deep breath.
Look around your present moment and remember you have the token in your pocket.
Pull it out and look at it.
The token glows with a golden light of unconditional love,
Reminding you how much you are loved.
With these feelings of warmth,
You attempt to remove that rock again.
And this time,
It crumbles into tiny grains of sand and golden white light bursts skyward,
Surrounding you in a warm,
Loving feeling.
This beautiful light represents your strength,
Your confidence,
Your true purpose.
Breathe in these rays of golden white light and ask it to fill you so you can be your true self.
Breathe in the light so you can be stronger than any challenge facing you.
Breathe in the light so you can always be guided by love,
Joy,
And peace.
See and feel the light grow brighter and bigger with each breath until your entire body and mind are filled with your strength,
Your truth,
Your power.
And know that you can transform any challenge you face by tapping into this light and awakening your truth anytime.
German theologian Albert Schweitzer reminds us that the path of awakening is not about becoming who you are,
Rather it is about un-becoming who you are not.
With your light of love and truth,
What will you transform today?
Letting go of those negative thoughts and beliefs that no longer belong to you.
And what token in your physical life can you carry with you to remind you of how much you are loved today and always?
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Wiggle your toes,
Rotate your wrists,
Maybe shrug your shoulders,
And slowly bring your awareness to this present moment.
When you're ready,
Open your eyes.
