Welcome to this meditation.
Today I would like to share the message that we are all free to be who we want to be.
We are all free to share and shed our light in any way we choose.
In any way that feels good to us and brings us joy.
To get started,
Get comfortable either sitting or lying down.
Roll your shoulders back a few times,
Let them drop.
Loosen your jaw,
Relax your neck.
Together we will take a deep breath in and release a long breath out.
Another deep breath in and a long breath out.
Now I would like you to bring to mind the dream or desire you have for your life.
What is something you wish you could do or achieve?
If you had absolute open choice with nothing in your way,
What would you do with your time?
What would bring you joy?
Focus on that feeling for a moment.
Would you keep the focus?
How long were you able to imagine your dream before the mind chatter took over?
With things like,
Oh but I couldn't because of such and such,
Or someone else is already doing that better.
Who am I to do that?
But you know what?
Who are you not to?
Who are you to deny the world of your gifts and your joy and your light?
Who are you not to be the full expansion of your soul's expression that you came here to be?
What purpose does it serve to diminish yourself?
I'm going to use now a process to move some of these self-doubts from our body to allow more permission for joy to come through.
Imagine from where you are sitting or lying down that you are receiving a spiral of golden light.
It enters through the top of your head,
Slowly spinning and journeying down over your body,
Clearing away guilt and doubts about living your dreams.
Focus on the core feeling of joy that would come with your dream.
And as any doubts or negative self-talk arise,
Let the spiral of golden light gather the thoughts from your mind.
Let it spin further down and collect the emotions of guilt from your heart space.
Take another deep breath in and see the light circling further down and pulling out the impurities of self-judgment and fear of judgment from others from your gut.
Breathe deep and let it collect these feelings,
Drawing them out of your body,
Pulling them out of the muscle memory.
The spiral then continues to whirlpool over your legs and feet,
Carrying these emotions along the channel of the spiral.
It carries them away over your feet and they are pulled away like a vacuum,
Dissipated and sucked away out of your system,
Leaving you feeling cleansed and renewed.
Allow the spiral to travel several more times from the top of your head,
Past your heart,
Through your solar plexus and down over your legs and feet.
Each time it whooshes away at your feet,
You feel lighter and more at ease.
Now see a fresh stream of shiny,
Silvery,
Pearly light and it travels the same path as the spiral.
This light floods you with self-love and contentment.
Let your whole being shine and buzz with permission to feel joy,
With permission to follow your heart's desires.
Pearl says,
Try not to view the current reality in front of you as all that is or to see it as unchangeable.
Small things can lead to bigger things,
Can lead to giant leaps.
Start with joy.
Start with happiness.
Start with giving to yourself,
Giving permission to put you first and enjoy what you are doing with your time and your mental energy.
Maybe you can't up and leave your office job tomorrow,
But could you find an hour a week to enrol in a course or pursue a hobby you've always wanted to try?
Maybe you have young children with lots of demands.
Can you start with a half hour walk for yourself one evening when someone can take over for you?
Starting small is definitely better than not starting at all and the momentum will build as you make time for joy,
As you give yourself permission to feel it and make it a priority in your life.
Now the spiral fades away and you are resting on a soft white bed of clouds.
All is soft and snug and comfortable.
Slowly see yourself and the bed blur at the edges.
You are dissolving away the hardness of reality.
You are seeing beyond your physical body to the light body at your core.
See the atoms of you humming and glowing until you are vibrating in tune with the universe.
You are in unity with source from whence you came.
You are transparent and see the stars through your skin.
See the planets whizzing by.
You are part of the whole creation.
You'll afloat and at peace with everything around you.
Reality is not as solid as you believe.
Reality is malleable,
You are malleable.
Glisten and shine as the pearl you are in the world.
Show kindness and compassion wherever you travel.
Offer a smile to strangers.
It all adds up to the ripple of joy that will one day rise up like a tidal wave into the world.
You are the ripples and no ripple is too small to have an effect.
Feel yourself as the center of a ripple on the water.
Send out your waves of loving energy in concentric circles.
Imagine them bringing peace and calm and a smile to the lips of everyone they touch.
They are not held back by boundaries,
Walls,
Fences,
Houses,
Freeways.
They travel through the air and reach many around you.
Experiencing your fullness does not take away from anybody else.
There is enough energetic space and freedom to all be fulfilled.
Your success does not detract from someone else's.
Instead it is a pathway,
A ladder to lead the way into joy and abundance.
You show them that by living a full life that makes sense to you and pleases you that they have permission to do the same.
They have permission to question what brings them joy.
And know that these decisions do not have to make sense to others.
You are here to live for you,
To choose your own path and you will be supported.
If your decisions and actions are based in integrity and compassion for you and those around you then no harm will come to them.
They might emotionally not understand and you may find yourself distanced from some who used to be close friends.
But every ending opens up a new beginning.
You will find people who resonate with your new place,
Your new vibe so to speak.
Just bless those from your past as part of the journey.
Take some deep breaths in now and call back all of your energy into this physical body and moment.
Start to become aware of the surface beneath you.
Wriggle your fingers and toes.
Take a deep breath and feel grounded and back home in your body.
Remember as you go through your day and your week,
Joy is like a magnet.
The more you allow it and notice it,
The more you will attract and give yourself permission to feel it.
Who are you not to?
Many blessings.
I hope you have a glorious day and thank you for meditating with me.
