And I suggest you adjust the room around you.
Let yourself find that comfortable position.
A position in which you won't be disturbed for the next 20 to 25 minutes.
So just find that comfortable position.
Wiggle and scooch.
Do what you need to do to find that powerfully relaxing and comfortable position.
And then slowly close your eyes.
Just slowly let your eyelids lower.
And as the eyelids lower,
You begin to lower your resistance to change.
You begin by breathing in gently and comfortably.
Easily without effort.
Just notice your breathing in its own rhythmic pattern.
For the next 25 minutes or so,
There's nowhere to go.
There's nothing to do except just be.
To be still and to listen and to allow yourself the gift of relaxation.
Of restoration.
Of meditation.
It is a most wonderful feeling to let yourself let loose of the grip of tension.
From the daily experiences.
From your routine.
To let loose.
To let go.
And to focus on the sound of my voice.
Using not only the words,
But the energy.
The resonance.
The vibration of the sound of my voice.
To help you move into a deeper,
More sacred space.
So much of the path in the past has been trying to find the love outside of ourselves.
Beginning with parents and moving throughout our lives,
Seeking and searching for a love that will make our lives work.
We come to the point where we realize that the truth lives within us.
And that the love has always been there all along.
Beneath the wellspring of repressed emotions.
Beneath my doubts.
My limited image of myself.
Old,
Outdated beliefs.
Lies a brilliant light.
The essence of your true self.
Your being.
As you allow yourself to open to that light.
Within that light contains a new identity.
A new image of yourself.
Beyond the light,
You allow it to illuminate the truth of who you are.
You are an expression and reflection of the divine.
And so as you relax now,
Allow yourself to settle back and to relax.
To settle back.
To relax.
And to open to your inner world of creativity.
A feeling.
Imagination.
And even your intuition.
And as you settle back now,
Relaxing and letting go,
I'm going to count familiar numbers.
Familiar numbers from seven to one.
And with each descending number,
Give yourself permission to go just a bit deeper than before.
Seven.
Letting go.
Letting go.
Six.
Five.
Deeper.
Drifting.
Deeper.
And drifting.
Four.
And between now and the count of one,
Not only will you enter into meditation,
But you will shift your consciousness into an altered state.
Receptive and open to create positive changes by setting yourself free from the limitations of your past.
Three.
Three.
Three.
That's it.
Going deeper.
Letting go.
Two.
Allowing your mind and your brain to slow down.
To slow down.
Allowing your mind and your brain to slow down.
And one.
One.
One.
That's it.
You are going deeper now.
You are going deeper now.
Relaxing.
Relaxing.
Letting go.
Letting go.
Going deeper.
You sense hovering above your head.
A beautiful radiant sphere.
A beautiful radiant sphere of light.
Radiating above your head.
Maybe three to four feet above your head.
And as you sense it,
Don't try to see it.
Don't look with your eyes,
But sense it with your mind.
A radiant sphere like a miniature Sun or a moon glowing above you.
And it might be the size of a basketball or even a beach ball.
This brilliant large sphere of light hovering above your head.
Perhaps the light is a shining silvery light like the moon.
Or perhaps it is a warm and golden light like the Sun.
But either way,
Sense it.
Imagine it.
Feel it in your heart as you allow that light to shine down upon you.
Glowing like a star from the heavens.
This beautiful radiant sphere.
And know that it is your higher self.
Always watching.
Always governing.
It is the portal to your soul and spirit as you sense it and feel it.
It is a part of you that is too beautiful to ignore and deny and to hide from.
For it is there seated directly above you.
And as you consciously choose to connect,
I want you to take in a long,
Slow,
Deep breath.
And as you do,
Imagine as you inhale you're reaching up to connect with that sphere of light.
And then as you exhale,
You're drawing it down towards the crown of your head until it slowly descends silently,
Easily,
Without effort.
And as it touches the crown of your head,
You allow that beautiful sphere,
That radiant sphere,
To sink down into the skull,
Into the brain,
Moving around your entire head and throat.
Resting upon your shoulders,
This sphere of light encompassing,
Cocooning your head and throat.
And allow it as you ask for help.
Allow this radiant sphere to change your brain chemistry.
To heal the errant old patterns of thinking that were produced from an immature ego.
To allow this light to absorb the patterns of fear,
Of frustration,
Of struggle.
And to let this light open up new neuronal pathways to your power,
To your strength.
This ball of light surrounds your head,
Your neck.
You open up to your ability to express who you truly are,
A majestic spiritual being.
And you feel this light now surrounding your entire head and neck.
And you relax and open to receive.
Let yourself open and receive.
From your higher self,
From your soul,
From God,
God is all that is.
Let yourself ask for help.
And as you ask for help,
You sense this beautiful radiant sphere,
In its own time,
Begin to slowly lower.
Like the setting sun in the western sky,
It begins to lower down into your torso.
Filling your lungs and your chest.
Filling the upper torso,
Surrounding your heart with the vibration of your higher consciousness.
And as it surrounds your heart,
Be willing to open your heart to let the love and the healing into your very being.
And one of the best ways to open your heart is to think the words,
I care.
I care.
I care about me and my future.
I care about the future of my family and my friends.
I care about my community,
My neighbors,
My co-workers.
I care.
It is safe for me to care.
And as you think those words,
Your heart opens.
And with the knowledge and understanding,
It goes beyond words.
You begin to tap into the love and the gratitude of your soul.
Let that happen.
Let that happen.
And as you open,
You feel the presence of your soul,
The quiet gentleness.
And sometimes when the heart opens,
We feel a beautiful sadness,
A longing,
A yearning.
A longing and yearning to come home,
To come home to who you are and have always been.
And a beautiful sadness or a quiet joy can begin to fill your heart.
And know that is your soul,
Its beautiful resonance and presence.
Filling your heart with passion and courage to become all that you can be in this lifetime.
Your soul knows your beauty and your power.
And it holds the keys to your empowered destiny.
It is buried in the memory of your being.
Buried deep within your heart,
At the core of your being.
And as that light penetrates deep into your heart,
It moves into your lungs with every breath you take.
And as you breathe in the light and as you feel it entering into your bloodstream,
Pumping the heart,
Pumping that light throughout your entire physical being.
Radiant,
Relaxed.
You begin to sense a mist,
A gentle mist gathering around your body.
As you are now fully connected in the presence of the love of your soul.
And you start to see this mist gathering around you,
A silver like mist,
Shimmering and shining with silver glitter of light surrounding your entire body and lifting you,
Lifting you up into the domain of your future.
Lifting you up into a domain of possibility and potential.
And as this silver mist begins to absorb into your body through the surface of your skin,
Through the pores on the surface of your skin,
Drinking in this healing light,
This shimmering mist surrounded around your physical form.
You absorb it in drinking in this mist and the mist is cleared from your eyes and you find that you're standing in the thicket of a forest through the leaves of trees and the denseness of the earth.
You sense in your mind's eye the lively green ferns that are unfolding with their spiral turn upon the path that you stand upon.
You smell the beautiful smell of earth and the forest,
The smell of pine and bark,
The richness of nature and her magnificent perfume.
You sense the thick blanket of moss that you stand upon as you walk on this path filled with old leaves from last fall,
Creating a carpet on this pathway in the forest.
As you step forward,
You hear the crunch of the leaves beneath your feet.
You walk along this beautiful,
Chaotic,
Unorganized forest and it's such a beautiful majesty unfolding in your imagination as you sense the new growth,
That lime green richness of new growth bursting forth on the leaves of trees and bushes and shrubs.
Tall stately trees block the light of the sun,
Creating a strobe like effect as you look up and see the branches and the leaves swaying and dancing with their invisible partner,
The wind.
And you see the strobe like effect of the sunlight moving through shining down its rays upon the path.
You walk deeper and deeper into this thicket of forest,
You come up upon a fork in the road.
That's right,
You sense there before you this magnificent division of fork in the road.
Going deeper into the forest.
One of the pathways seems to be moving into a dark and dense,
Heavy pathway and the other seems more illuminated and glowing with light.
And I want you now to gather the courage,
The confidence,
The inner strength to begin to journey down towards that darker future.
That pathway that leads to the limited self's negative,
Destructive future.
Yes,
You are strong enough and powerful enough to take your power back,
To dismantle the energy and to retrieve the energy of that future so that you can give it to what you do want,
So that you can create a brilliant future.
Dismantling and taking your power back.
You begin to walk down this path,
It gets heavy and dark and you go in between the trees.
And there you come to a clearing in a bluff,
A beautiful bluff,
Looking out over a valley and down in the valley you sense a shimmering sphere of light floating in this valley.
And in that bubble of light is a future you do not want to manifest.
A future you do not want to create.
One that was built out of self-pity and victim,
Out of loneliness,
Out of hurt and disappointment.
You sense that future there in the bubble.
You see yourself down the road,
Strapped,
Dysfunctional,
Frustrated.
In your imagination you say,
I take my power back from that future.
I'm taking my power back.
I refuse to create that reality.
And as you make a stand and as you declare,
You start to sense that part of you in that bubble looking up and looking out of the bubble,
Looking towards you and you feel compassion.
You feel compassion for the part of you that didn't believe in your potential,
That held you trapped in the pain of the past.
You forgive that part of you.
You forgive them and you take your power back.
That bubble begins to shrink in size.
As you take your energy and power from it,
It begins to shrink and grow smaller and smaller until you've retrieved the electromagnetic energy that is neutral that you need to give to your dream.
You watch that bubble then collapse,
Burst and disappear.
You quickly turn around and you go back towards where the fork in the road was,
Moving out of the dark thicket,
Stepping over that trail,
On that trail,
That rock or that felled tree.
You step over any obstacles until you get back to that fork in the road from where you began.
Then you take the other path,
The brilliant path of light.
You begin to step forward.
As you're stepping upon the path,
The flowers,
Like a time-lapsed flower,
Begins to bloom.
The daffodils wake up from their winter sleep.
They begin to open quickly.
As you step upon the path,
You notice that nature around you is rejoicing in your presence,
In your decision.
As the flowers begin to bloom and stretch and open,
You walk down this path and you feel greater joy and enthusiasm.
You feel a sense of hope and a renewal as you take your power and your courage and your confidence with each step down this beautiful path that begins to get smoother and wider.
As you walk down this path there,
You step into a clearing in the forest.
In this clearing,
This circular clearing,
There is this brilliant,
Radiant sphere of your future self,
Empowered,
Brilliant,
Loving,
Confident,
Radiant,
Functioning with abundance and prosperity and joy and freedom.
You sense that future.
You're in that bubble and you give your energy that you've retrieved from that negative future.
You give the electricity and you feed it,
Your attention and intention.
You send energy to that bubble suspended in this clearing.
And the light from the sun seems to be joining you,
Illuminating,
Flowing energy into this brilliant future of you.
And who are you going to be?
To be empowered,
Loving,
Kind,
To be enough,
Knowing you are enough.
As you open up and you let the images of your empowered future self,
Let it seduce you to draw you into that bubble.
As you step and you pierce the veil and you step into your radiant future and you feel the love,
You feel the joy,
The gratitude,
The appreciation,
The freedom.
You feel safe to just be who it is that you are.
You relax and you receive as your future self looks over to see you,
Welcoming you,
Not unlike you've done to your inner child.
For you now are the younger version of your empowered future self.
And they look at you and open their eyes wide with anticipation,
With joy,
As they open their arms.
This radiant you,
Whole,
Peaceful,
Joyful,
Opening their arms and you let yourself be held.
You let yourself be loved by your empowered future.
And you let go.
You let go of the doubt,
The struggle.
You forgive yourself for resisting the truth of who you are for so many years.
You let yourself open to just be loved,
To be held and cradled by your empowered future self.
For you are enough.
Secure enough.
Creative enough.
Connected and belonging enough.
You are a radiant spiritual being,
An expression and reflection of the divine,
A unique and powerful lantern of light in a world that wants to believe it's only dark.
You can be that light,
That inspiration,
That portal of hope and truth,
Of dignity and justice,
Compassion and peace.
You are connected to the future of dominion,
The future of the world your world becomes.
You are connected to the future of the world.
You are becoming new,
New in the truth of your being.
This future is filled with greater love,
Of giving that love,
Receiving that love.
It is filled with the joy of freedom,
The freedom to become all that you are,
Becoming even more than you can fathom or imagine at this point.
You are remembering and reuniting with your soul and spirit.
Allow their love to fill you as you receive their grace.
As you stand with dignity and renewing your inner strength,
You silently repeat,
I am making a new beginning.
I am making a new choice based on an ancient memory of dominion.
I surrender to love and dominion as I joyfully set myself free from my past and know that the light within this domain is filling you with wisdom.
It is illuminating your heart.
It is awakening the memory and the truth of who you are.
As an evolving spiritual consciousness,
You feel this light with its freedom and profound peace,
Guiding you,
Protecting you,
Loving you.
And you are now willing to release what stands in the way of this future,
Releasing and letting go,
Forgiving the past.
You are willing to be all that you can be.
It is time.
It is time and you are ready.
And as you absorb the light,
As you blend and connect with your empowered future self,
You ask for their help.
You ask for them to guide you,
To protect you,
And to open you to all of the potential of your power and strength,
To all of the potential of your power and strength,
To all of the potential of your power and strength.
To all of the potential of your destiny,
The great work that you came here to do.
In just a moment,
As we began this journey by familiar numbers,
I counted down.
I'm going to count up those same familiar numbers.
And this time at the count of seven,
You will awaken,
Remembering as much or as little that you need to,
But know that you have shifted and lifted and changed your state of consciousness.
At the count of seven,
One,
Listening to the sound of my voice,
Two,
Coming forward,
Moving forward,
Allowing yourself to begin to become aware.
Three,
At the count of seven,
Fully conscious and fully awake,
Fully present,
More present and more awake than words can hold.
Four,
Five,
Sensing the room in which you occupy the seat of your consciousness.
Four,
Six,
Seven,
Eight,
Nine,
Feeling the floor,
The walls.
Six,
Sensing your body,
The clothing upon your body.
And seven,
Take a long,
Slow,
Deep breath in,
Coming back into the room,
Coming back and welcome back.
