Hello and welcome to this meditation on listening to your heart's desires.

So take a moment to get comfortable.

You can lie on your back in Shavasana or you can stay seated for this meditation.

Just take a position that feels good in your body.

Get out any last movements that you need to before you come to rest.

Bring your awareness to your breath.

Without changing it,

Just notice the gentle inhale and the natural exhale that follows.

Take a deep breath in,

Filling your belly,

Your ribs and your chest and open your mouth to exhale,

Releasing any tension.

And again,

Take a deep breath in,

Filling up your whole body and open your mouth to gently exhale.

Take one more deep breath in,

Filling up your belly,

Your ribs and your chest and open your mouth to exhale.

Feel the heaviness of your body,

Of your limbs as you sink into the earth beneath you.

As your body melts into the ground,

All tension melts away.

You are sitting on a forest floor,

Covered in dark green moss which cradles you.

When you gaze up towards the sky,

You can see a canopy of green leaves above,

Sunlight sparkles between the clusters of leaves.

As you sit here in this beautiful place,

You feel a deep sense of peace,

Of contentment and openness underneath this halo of green.

A bright,

Glowing warmth begins to grow within your chest.

This glow matches the halo of green that you see all around you.

And you know that this warmth,

This glow,

Is your heart trying to speak to you.

So in this forest,

You take this sacred moment to lean into your heart,

To listen to its desires.

What is your heart trying to tell you?

Without judgment,

Let your heart speak its desires to you.

So in this forest,

You take this sacred moment to lean into your heart,

To listen to its desires.

What is the desire that your heart has shared?

With care,

Compassion and belief,

Let it grow.

Let the lights in this beautiful forest shine upon it.

You now have the message,

Your heart has spoken to you.

And you see that your heart's message is a living thing full of potential.

And the whole forest seems to know this too.

It glows bright in the potential of your hope.

Now that you have received this message,

Your awareness spreads outside of the forest.

You become even more aware of your gorgeous surroundings,

Of the crisp air,

Of the strong earth beneath you.

You hear the sound of water in the distance,

And it calls out to you.

So you stand up and begin to walk towards the sound of water.

Each step you take feels purposeful.

Though you haven't been here before,

You feel sure that your steps will lead you in the right direction.

You know you'll find your way.

You take another step and another.

Your feet connect with the earth each time you move.

The grass beneath you softens under your powerful stride.

You keep walking,

Finding more strength,

More guidance as you take each new step.

The water is getting louder and louder.

You're almost there,

And your own wisdom is bringing you closer to your destination.

You take a few more steps and see that you have arrived at a stunning waterfall.

Your own inner knowing has led you this far.

It has led you to exactly where you need to be.

The waterfall is beautiful.

Clear water pours down from the earth,

Falling into a stream full of life.

The water is full of white waves and translucent blues.

The water splashes onto the rocks and lands onto your skin.

You feel that the water is warm,

And its warmth is inviting you in.

With those same intentional steps,

You move into the water.

Making your way beneath this gentle,

Yet powerful waterfall that is calling out to you.

As you walk,

You remember the message that your heart shared with you.

Your chest still glows.

You take another step and another and one more.

Now you are under this waterfall.

Feeling the water run over the crown of your head,

Down your heart center,

Over your skin,

From your head to your grounded feet,

This warm,

Cleansing water rushes over you.

As this water washes over you,

You feel it cleansing you.

Cleansing you of any fear that you have around your heart's desires.

Cleansing you of any doubt,

Of any worry,

Of any limiting belief that you hold around your heart's desire.

This water cleanses you of fear.

Beneath this waterfall,

You know,

You know you are worthy,

Worthy of the desires your heart has shared with you.

Beneath these cleansing waters,

You know that you are enough.

You are the chosen messenger of your heart's desires.

Here in this place,

In your body,

In your heart,

You know you can create your heart's desires.

You know you have the power to create your heart's desires.

You step from beneath the waterfall,

Feeling renewed,

Expansive,

And you make a declaration into the vast unknown,

To the world,

Into the open expanse before you.

You shout this truth.

I create my heart's desires.

I have the power to create my heart's desires.

Your voice rises as you speak this truth,

And it echoes around the rocky waterfall.

It vibrates into the forest beyond,

Touching every stone,

Every tree.

These words sink into the earth and rise to the sky.

I have the power to create my heart's desires.

And you feel these words in your body,

In your heart.

I have the power to create my heart's desires.

You begin to walk out of the stream,

Feeling light,

And you start making your way back to the forest.

You know where to go.

You step forward with intention,

With belief,

With trust.

The path is new.

It's not the same way you came,

But you know the direction to go,

The steps to take.

And each step that you take strengthens your trust in yourself and the vision that your heart lovingly entrusted to you.

You are this stream's keeper,

Its advocate.

You take another step,

Feeling the earth supporting your every movement.

As you take these steps into the unknown,

You know the universe is working for your highest good.

You see the clearing in the forest now.

So you return,

And you sit down on the mossy,

Soft earth.

Your hands come to your heart.

You can feel a shift in your entire being,

And you know you have listened to your heart.

You know you can and will create your heart's desires with intention,

With care.

Hold this vision.

Hold this desire.

Allow it to grow.

You have taken part in a sacred conversation,

A divine interaction between you,

Your heart,

And your soul.

This guidance is the most valuable you'll ever come across.

Remember and honor what your heart has shared.

In this forest,

You bow your head to your heart with gratitude,

Thanking your heart for sharing its wisdom.

You have heard the message you needed to.

Finally bring your awareness back into the room,

Using your breath to guide you back.

Breathing in and gently out.

And now take a deep breath in and open your mouth to exhale.

And again,

Take a deep breath in and open your mouth to exhale.

And one more time.

And now extend your arms out to the side.

If you're lying down,

Gently set up.

Extend your heart forward,

Inviting in all of your heart's desires to grow.

And now place the palms of your hands on your heart and say this with me.

I have the power to create my heart's desires.

And one more time.

I have the power to create my heart's desires.

Thank you for listening to this guided meditation.

Namaste.
