I invite you to sit as comfortably as you can in your favourite meditation position and close your eyes and give yourself permission to be here right now.
Let's begin with three full deep breaths,
Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth,
Taking the breath now bring the air into your lungs in a way that feels good as it goes deep down into your belly,
And relax and release,
With each breath going deeper allowing the air to fill you up and as you release you relax even more,
Noticing and feeling your chest rise and expand as your belly and your torso open to receive the breath,
And exhaling slowly and gently,
Let your body sink into this peaceful space that you've created,
And for the next few minutes let go of your problems and your worries,
We'll be there later,
But just for this little while,
While we practice our meditation,
Set aside all your worries,
Notice how it feels to not have anything to worry about,
Notice how it feels to allow your body to relax deeply,
Allow your shoulders to relax,
Relax your jaw and your tongue,
Relax your forehead,
Eyebrows and your eyes,
Relax the muscles around your nose and your mouth,
Relax your scalp and the back of your neck,
Pull your shoulders back and down in line with your hips,
And relax your neck and shoulder muscles as you breathe slowly and deeply,
Feel the strength of your shoulder blades,
Notice the strength in your lower back,
Relax your thighs,
Relax your calves and your ankles,
Relaxing your feet,
Feeling your toes and your feet relax,
Feeling your entire body sink into deep relaxation,
And let go completely,
Relax and breathe,
Breathe and relax,
Allow yourself to accept all that you are right now,
Allow yourself to accept your body just as it is at this very minute,
Allow yourself to accept your life just as it is at this very moment,
Allow yourself to accept other people in your life just as they are presently,
Let go of everything you think you know about yourself and others,
And let go of everything you think you know about God,
Open your heart and your mind to see yourself and your life more clearly,
See yourself in a neutral way without judgment,
Open to all possibilities,
Now begin to feel the presence of a higher power within you,
Meeting you deep within,
Feel your higher powers presence in your heart,
Feel the love,
Wisdom,
Gentleness and joy of your higher power resting in your warm and strong heart,
Feel the love,
Wisdom,
Gentleness and joy of your higher power resting in your warm and strong heart,
We sit with a gentle focus to access our higher powers vision for our life,
For this day,
For right now,
With a calm mind and peaceful heart ask your higher power what is your vision for me today,
What is your will for my life,
Focus and listen,
What is your vision for me today,
What is your will for my life,
Focus and listen,
Open your heart to your higher power,
Ask for answers to a problem or situation that you face today,
Be definite and specific in your request,
Listen and breathe,
Breathe and listen,
Be still,
Quiet and open,
Let your mind go loose,
Let your higher power do the talking,
Thoughts,
Ideas and impressions will start to trickle into your heart and mind,
Be alert,
Aware and open to each one of them,
If you feel your mind wandering or have distracting thoughts it's completely natural,
It happens,
Just let them go with each exhalation and return to your calm mind and peaceful heart and ask your higher power again what is your vision for me today,
What is your will for my life,
Listen and breathe,
Breathe and listen,
Continue to reach out with your mind and heart to your higher power,
Feel the calm and peace in your heart,
Let each passing thought go,
Let all thoughts go,
Return to the strength and warmth of your beating heart and ask your higher power again what is your vision for me today,
What is your will for my life,
Listen and breathe,
Breathe and listen,
Now with your eyes still closed embrace the feelings or images you just experienced,
Hold this vision in your mind's eye,
Feel your higher power's response in your heart,
Now slowly return to your surroundings by feeling the support of your seat and gently open your eyes,
Revive your body by rolling your shoulders,
Rubbing your hands,
Stretching your arms,
Legs,
Body,
Place your warm hands over your eyes,
Whatever you received in your meditation,
Elaborate plans,
Images,
Words,
Peace,
Accept it as a gift and commend yourself for this self-nurturing moment and choosing to sit with and rely on your higher power,
Rub your hands together again and hold them to your heart,
Take a deep breath and smile,
