Hello,
This is Reverend Chris Alexander with Celebration Center for Spiritual Living,
And today I'm going to be leading you through a visioning exercise in the manner that is laid out in Michael Beckwith's book,
Life Visioning.
This visioning process will take you from your active mind into that place within you that is connected to oneness,
Connected to your higher self,
The universe,
The multiverse,
Whatever that beyond power is for you.
So I invite you to have a pen and a piece of paper handy and to take notes and jot down anything that may come to you,
Not worrying about if you understand it,
But rather just writing it down without judgments.
So with that,
I invite you to get settled in and let's begin.
So take a deep breath,
Soften your gaze or close your eyes and allow yourself to fully arrive in this moment,
In this space,
Continuing to breathe deeply,
Allowing your breath to lead you into the very center of your being.
With every in-breath,
Inhaling love,
And every out-breath releasing anything that is calling you away from this present moment,
Setting down anything that came before this moment,
Setting down anything that will come after,
Just allowing yourself the gift of this time and space.
And in this meditative space,
Notice and become aware of your individualized mind opening to the one mind,
To that part of you that is connected to the allness,
The fullness of life,
The infinite,
The eternal,
And the absolute,
Which is simultaneously more than we can possibly fathom and us right here and right now.
Breathing in that awareness,
Sinking deeper into the surrender to all that is.
From this place of awareness,
Ask yourself,
Ask the all that is,
Ask that part of you that knows everything,
Ask your higher self,
What is the highest vision for my life?
What does it look like?
What does it feel like?
What does it sound like?
What is the smell,
The taste?
Allowing any thoughts,
Words,
Feelings,
Pictures to simply come through without judgment,
Without needing to know what they mean.
Ask yourself,
What is the highest vision for my life?
And simply allow the answer to come,
Knowing that this vision will continue to unfold and reveal itself.
Now ask yourself,
What must I release to allow the full vision to come into fruition?
What is it that is no longer serving me,
My life,
My vision?
What is being called for me to set down and to release,
To let go,
To allow this highest vision to come into my life?
What must I release?
Continuing further in this vision,
Now ask yourself,
What must I become?
What is calling of me to embody and become for this highest vision to come to its full fruition?
What must I become?
And as you discover more of what you are to become,
You realize that you already are so many things that this highest vision is calling you to.
And so ask yourself now,
What skills,
Talents,
And abilities do I already possess that support this highest vision demonstrating in my life?
What skills,
Talents,
And abilities do I already possess that will support my highest vision?
And finally,
Is there anything else that I need to know right now?
Is there anything else that is seeking to be made known to express through me in this moment?
Is there anything else?
Now I invite you to express gratitude for this time,
For all that has come through,
For all that will continue to be made known in the future now that you have set your intention towards knowing this highest vision.
So express gratitude in whatever way feels good for you.
Perhaps it's bringing your hands into a prayer position and bowing,
Or bringing your hands to your heart,
Or even outstretching them to all that is.
And at this time,
I invite you to take all of the time and space that you need to continue to journal anything else that may have come through,
Or if you haven't been journaling this whole time,
To take a few minutes to simply write down all that Spirit has made known during this time.
