Welcome.
This is a meditation about discovering the answers to your heart's questions.
And also about appreciating wherever you are on your journey right now.
If you have any questions on your heart right now that you want answers to,
Take a moment to connect with what they are.
And it's also okay if you don't.
Simply be open to anything that might arise.
Sometimes when doing a guided meditation,
There might be a tendency to want to do it exactly right.
But here in this space,
Know that whatever comes to you during this meditation is right and perfect and meant just for you.
You cannot do it wrong.
And so take a deep breath in and on the exhale,
Let go of everything it took to be in this moment right now.
And take another breath in and let it go.
And connect with the space that you're in.
Allow yourself to shape yourself into whatever surface you're on.
Whether it's a chair,
A cushion,
A bed,
A floor,
Whatever surface,
Allow it to mold into you as if it was perfectly designed for just that.
And feel your limbs getting heavy and releasing any tension.
Feel your legs and your feet and relax them.
Taking attention to the muscles around your midline and now relax them.
Feel your arms and your chest release and relax.
Feel a smile spread across your face and feel every muscle in your face moving and then release it and relax.
Breathe in and out.
And all that's needed right now is to focus on your breathing and trust you.
Trust yourself.
And I'd like for you to imagine that you're near a shoreline walking and it's that time of the day in the late afternoon when the sun is softest and beginning to set.
And everything has hues of oranges and dark purples,
Majestic blue.
And you see yourself walking alongside the shoreline.
You feel the breeze coming off the water and it feels like silk gliding across your skin.
You notice the soft sounds of the tide moving back and forth.
You see the moon and the few stars beginning to illuminate in the sky and you feel tranquil and serene here.
There's also a confidence about you.
A confidence you feel as you're walking.
And feeling pleased,
You keep walking gently down against the shoreline.
And as the sun begins to set a little deeper,
You notice a shining light beginning to appear in the distance.
And as you see this light reflecting against the backdrop of the water,
You know instinctively that you should continue to walk towards it.
And so you do,
Still feeling peaceful and certain.
And as you get closer to this light,
You notice that it's coming from a small lighthouse.
And there's something about this lighthouse that tells you,
You should climb it.
You should climb to the top of it.
Somehow you know with certainty that there's something good waiting for you there.
You walk on getting closer and closer until you reach the entrance of the lighthouse.
And you see a stairwell that's illuminated by a soft light of small lanterns.
You begin to climb the stairs.
And as you're climbing,
You notice it's a bit more difficult.
And yet you still feel peaceful and certain and calm.
You know that you're heading to a good and safe place.
And you continue to climb.
And climb.
Feeling safe and certain.
As you get closer near the top.
And then you see the arched entrance of the top of the lighthouse.
And as you take your first step through the arch,
You feel the breeze coming off the ocean,
Sliding across your skin.
You feel tranquility,
A trust,
And a small hint of enthusiasm there.
And as you look out across the platform of the lighthouse top,
You see a railing overlooking the water,
A small bench.
And you notice someone sitting there.
And you recognize something familiar about this person.
Something that sparks something inside you.
You suddenly feel at home and so comfortable here with them.
And you begin to recall something in your mind about this setting.
But you can't quite put your finger on what it is just yet.
So walking towards this person,
You're feeling assured,
You're feeling clear.
And as you get closer,
You see their eyes are kind and welcoming.
And there's something there that you recognize,
But you can't quite remember how or where it is.
And so you choose to sit next to them on the bench.
And as the soft wind brushes your face,
You feel a sensation of their presence.
As if time stopped and there was only this moment.
You notice your breath as it moves softly through your body.
You notice the gentle sounds of the tides coming back and forth.
And the gentle and familiar eyes of this person that you feel connected,
That expands across time.
And so you intuitively reach out and grasp their hands.
You feel the connection tingle through your body like a wave of certainty.
And now,
As you look into their gentle eyes,
It's now that you understand that this is the wisest person you have ever met.
The wisest person you have ever encountered.
And you are filled with peace and comfort and vitality as you experience their presence washing over you.
And you recall that you have some questions that you've been wondering about.
Some questions that have been on your mind and heart.
And you know now why you have guided to this place and understand that now is the time to ask your questions.
And so you ask your questions to the wise person.
You ask them with the peace washing over you.
And you feel the vibration in your being as you breathe in and out.
And you receive the answers from the wise person to your question.
You receive the answers now.
And as you take in the answers to your heart's questions,
You experience the clarity and the ease in knowing now.
And still holding the hands of this wise person,
You gently let go and look at them as if seeing them again for the very first time.
And in experiencing their presence again,
You understand now who this person is.
You see,
You see that they are you.
That you are the wise person.
That you are the wisest person that you know.
And though a part of you may not have wanted to accept or believe that in the past,
Understanding that now fills you with the sense of certainty and confidence.
You've become aware that deep down you have the answers to your heart's questions.
And all you needed was the space to uncover them.
You feel yourself filling up with appreciation for yourself,
Having gone on this journey and realizing this now.
You stand up because now you know it's time to leave.
But before leaving,
You take a deep bow towards the wise person.
And as you bow,
You will know that you're bowing to the highest version of yourself.
The version of yourself that leads with their heart.
That version of you that feels a deep sense of gratitude and knowing.
The access that you have to this part of you.
You begin walking down the stairs,
The stairs that led you here.
Filled with ease as you make your way back down.
And as you emerge from the stairwell back into the fresh air,
You feel the clarity of your journey and you know what it was for now.
And as you look ahead from the distance,
You see what's before you.
And you see your life.
And you see it in a clearer light.
And you feel a sense of confidence and power.
Knowing that although you may not know what every step entails,
You know that you're headed in the right direction.
And you choose to continue to step into that life now.
With this newfound sense of confidence,
Clarity,
Power.
With a sense of grace.
With commitment.
With generosity.
And with the trust that if you should ever feel uncertainty again,
This place,
This part of you is always available.
And that you are the wisest person that you know.
Thank you.
