Let's begin this meditation just by getting comfortable.
Making sure that you've turned off distractions.
And letting go of anything that already happened today.
For anything you may be anticipating coming up later today or this week.
And just settle into stillness.
And we'll begin.
By taking three deep cleansing breaths.
Just breathing in through the nose.
And then sign it out through the mouth.
Just really letting everything go.
Doing this two more times on your own.
Inhaling through the nose and open mouth exhale,
Sighing out,
Letting go.
After that third deep cleansing breath.
Just allow an effortless flow of breath to move in and out of your body.
Notice each deep,
Nourishing breath in.
Every relaxing and calming breath out.
Focusing on your breath.
As each breath cycle.
Moves you deeper and deeper into a state of rest and relaxation.
Now in your mind's eye.
Imagine that you're on a boat at sea.
It's a small boat.
You're the captain of the ship.
And everywhere you look,
There's water.
You are out on a journey at sea.
You don't exactly know what your destination is,
But that's okay.
You have the supplies.
You're safe.
Your boat is sturdy.
And you know that you need to head north.
You know that something special is waiting for you in that direction.
You may not exactly be sure what that is,
But there is something in your soul that tells just had Norris.
So you take out your compass from your pocket.
You look down at it.
And you head north.
You head through all sorts of weather.
Sometimes the sun is shining.
Sometimes it's rainy.
Sometimes the waves are rough.
Sometimes they are smooth.
You just continue on your course,
Going north.
Knowing that the weather,
It's all just temporary and you'll be fine.
And then after days of your journey,
You can see a light in the distance.
And as you get closer,
You realize that it's a lighthouse.
There's land ahead.
So you make your way up the coastline.
You bring your boat to shore.
And you head towards the lighthouse.
As you walk up the rocky shore and across the sand,
Up a grassy hill.
You reach the base of the lighthouse.
And you look up at the large structure and you know that this is where you were meant to go.
There's no sign that tells you this,
But it's just something that you know in your gut.
And so you push the door open,
Head inside.
And you begin to climb the spiral staircase to the top of the lighthouse.
Step after step,
You become more curious about what lies ahead.
And when you reach the final step,
Right at the top of the lighthouse,
You step into a warm,
Charming,
Welcoming room.
There's a table and chairs.
So far.
The glow of a fire in the fireplace.
It makes this room so cozy.
You walk across the room to the large glass window that shows the ocean in front of you.
The uncharted waters,
The unknown adventures that are ahead of you.
You feel at peace knowing that you have everything you need.
To get you where you need to go.
Wonderful,
Amazing things lie ahead of you.
And the universe has a plan.
You just need to trust the process and keep going.
And as you look out over the water.
You tell yourself three times.
I trust the process.
You tell yourself,
The universe has a plan for me.
Repeat to yourself three times,
I follow my own internal compass.
You tell yourself three times.
I trust all will happen the way it is supposed to.
As you sit for these few final moments.
You can feel that compass in your pocket.
You know that all will be well.
And you may not know where you're headed next,
But you know there is a plan.
You just have to trust the process and follow your path.
And when you're ready,
Take a big,
Deep breath in through the nose.
Open mouth,
Exhale,
Sigh it out,
Letting go.
Blinking the eyes open and closing your meditation practice.
Thank you so much for joining me.
