This meditation is to help you find your authentic voice for an interview or when you find yourself with a difficult career choice.
Let's start.
Take a deep breath,
Slow exhale,
Close your eyes,
Bring your attention to the center of your head,
Find that quiet,
Soft,
And more peaceful spot,
Settle there.
Imagine yourself sitting on a rock next to a big,
Calm lake.
This lake is surrounded by mature trees and mountains.
It is the morning,
The air is crisp,
And the sun is still low,
And the light is gentle.
You see a paddleboard and you decide,
Why not?
You feel ready for a new adventure,
So why not go paddleboarding on the lake?
So you bring the paddle to the lake,
And you put your knees on the board,
And you start paddling,
And it's easy,
So much easier than you remember.
There is no effort or weight to it.
You hear the water gently splashing,
And maybe even some ducks nearby.
The sunlight feels warm on your skin.
You take a deep breath of this clean,
Fresh air,
And it feels amazing.
You realize you really needed a bit of adventure,
And you are really enjoying this journey on the lake.
It makes you feel more present.
Now,
Take your time,
Really visualizing yourself putting that paddle in the water,
And gently pushing the water away.
And as you slowly push the water,
You decide to let go of thoughts,
Feelings,
Energies holding you back.
You see all of them melting away from your body into the water,
And delicately getting pushed by your paddle.
See those energies,
Thoughts,
And feelings you don't need anymore leaving your head,
Shoulders,
Heart,
Stomach,
Your hips,
Legs,
Slowly flowing out into the water,
And then being pushed away with love.
Feel your body,
Feel your mind becoming softer,
Releasing.
It feels good,
So you do it again.
You put the paddle in the water,
And you see all the stuff holding you back.
Maybe it is your own fear.
Maybe it's anxiety.
Maybe it's someone else's anxiety.
Whatever it is,
You don't need it for this new adventure.
You let it melt away into the water,
And you softly push them away with your paddle,
Letting them go because they have served their purpose already,
And you've learned from them.
You let them go,
And it feels great.
You realize you are now ready to really enjoy this experience on the lake,
And be fully present for this adventure.
So,
You take a moment to see where you are,
And you notice that you are in the middle of the lake,
Right in the center of it.
You appreciate the effort you made paddling here to the center,
And you feel proud to have reached this peaceful,
Central spot.
You realize you've created so much more space for yourself,
Space for new,
Positive,
Empowering energies and feelings.
You stand up slowly and easily on your board,
And you look all around you to take in the beauty of the view from where you are.
There are so many breathtaking places you can explore back on the shore.
Use your imagination to really see what there is.
Maybe you see a trail going from the shore up towards the mountain.
You see a beach you had not seen before that looks so inviting and relaxing.
You see another trail going into a small forest.
So many inspiring and inviting spots you can pick from to drop anchor.
You feel grateful,
And you look up and stretch your arms to the sky,
And you notice the sun is now at peak right above your head.
It is shining right above you,
And it feels warm and gentle,
But also powerful,
Strong.
Now think about all the new feelings and intentions you want for this new journey.
Maybe it's peace,
Creativity,
Abundance,
Self-love,
Confidence,
Intuition.
Maybe it's all of these and more.
Take your time making that list.
Now visualize yourself putting all these new emotions,
Energies,
And intentions into that big golden sun above you,
And now imagine the sun lowering down,
Lowering down so much that it's right above your head,
And you feel its glow,
Its warmth,
And power even more.
You even feel those energies you put into that sun.
Now visualize the sun going through the crown of your head,
Going inside your entire body,
Starting with your head,
Then traveling down your throat,
Arms,
Chest,
Stomach,
Legs,
Hands,
And feet.
Feel all that light inside you.
Feel this light being absorbed by every cell in your body.
Feel the warmth and glow inside you.
Really feel it so you can capture this moment,
Capture these sensations forever.
It is a powerful moment,
So you promise yourself then,
If or when you are uncertain of your journey ahead,
You'll remember this moment,
And you'll remember that the light is now within you,
And that all you need to do is give it enough space to let it shine.
Because you know that the light inside you will guide you,
Guide you to the next adventure that is right for you.
Take a deep breath.
Open your eyes.
