Welcome to Meditation Tides with Michelle Sanctuary.
You are listening to the Year of Yes,
A brief meditation designed to help you open yourself to new possibilities,
Free of pressure.
Let the sound waves of my voice guide you as you create space for saying yes to life's fun experiences,
One moment at a time.
I'm Michelle,
And you may envision my voice to be that of a supportive guide and friend,
Here to help you take gentle steps into the unknown with ease and grace.
Together we'll imagine what saying yes,
Whether for a year,
A day,
Or just this moment,
Could feel like.
Neil Donald Walsh said,
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.
Let's turn our attention to our breaths.
As you inhale deeply through your nose,
Taking your time,
Easing into the space around you,
And as you exhale,
Feel tension melt away from your body,
Release any need for perfection,
And allow yourself to be present in this moment.
This is your time to explore saying yes,
One breath at a time.
As you continue to inhale and exhale,
Picture yourself stepping into an elegant dressing room,
Softly illuminated by fairy lights and flickering candles.
Lush velvet drapes line the walls,
And the space feels warm,
Inviting,
And filled with endless possibilities.
It's the kind of place where you let down your guard without even trying.
You see a grand wardrobe,
Its doors open to reveal an array of intriguing outfits.
Each garment promises a new experience,
A different way of expressing yourself.
The first outfit catches your eye,
A playful,
Colorful ensemble that makes you feel light and carefree.
As you slip into this new version of yourself,
Notice how the world around you shifts.
Maybe you laugh,
Act spontaneously,
Or embrace a fun,
Light-hearted moment that would have once felt too risky.
Maybe you recall a younger version of yourself.
Next,
You notice a sharp,
Confident outfit hanging in the corner.
As you step into it,
Feel a surge of intelligence and clarity.
This version of you is smart,
Capable,
And decisive.
You notice new opportunities appear before you,
And you feel empowered to say yes to challenges or creative pursuits that once seemed out of reach.
There's no rush to find the right outfit.
Each one offers a unique experience.
Some are playful and light-hearted.
Others are reflective and grounding.
Some invite stillness,
While others spark adventure.
Every choice a new way to explore yourself.
Take a deep breath.
Feel lighter as you let go of hesitation.
You're saying yes to life and exploring new ways to grow.
As you begin to leave the dressing room,
Notice how you feel.
You are full of possibilities,
Ready to step into the world with courage and curiosity as opportunities come your way in this year of yes.
In this moment of yes.
Allow yourself to approach them with the ease of simply trying on something new.
When you're ready,
Gently open your eyes and return to the present moment.
Stretch your arms overhead,
Opening your heart to the joy of new opportunities.
Let the willingness to explore new versions of yourself and rediscover parts of you left behind.
Guide you through the day.
Thank you for sharing this time with me.
Until next time,
This is Michelle,
Wishing you the courage to say yes to the possibilities ahead.
