From Darkness into Light A guided meditation to reconnect with your inner light of joy,
Love and wisdom in times of darkness and chaos.
This meditation is for those who feel stuck in a painful situation and are confused on how to move forward.
Please find a safe and calm place for you to do this meditation where you will not be disturbed and can be in privacy.
You can lay down or sit in a comfortable position.
There are times in life when all light around us seems to have receded,
When chaos prevails and we feel bogged down by outer events that unfold in our lives.
Maybe we are trying to grasp and solve our problems with our minds,
But we find ourselves turning in circles and not knowing what to do and how to move into a happier place,
Physically and energetically.
Our minds can become prisons that entrap us in repeating the same limiting thoughts and behaviours over and over again and clinging to outdated beliefs about ourselves.
We all have been hurt in the past and with each layer of pain and trauma that has not been healed,
We disconnect ourselves more and more from our heart space.
We want to avoid feeling the pain,
But with that we also avoid feeling love and joy,
As both live in the same space.
We can feel heartbroken,
Empty and numb.
I'd like to ask you to close your eyes and to check in with yourself for a moment.
Breathe into your heart space.
Imagine the air that enters your nose to make its way into your heart,
Expanding it.
How does that feel?
Do you feel any constriction or pain?
Does it feel safe to do so?
Does it feel expansive and open?
Take two more deep breaths into that space.
Now feel into the areas that feel most constrained.
It could be a certain part in your chest,
Your belly or throat.
And imagine opening a valve in that area as you breathe out and let the pressure flow out from that area together with your breath.
It could be that you feel the need to yawn,
To cry,
To laugh.
Whatever it is,
Let it happen.
It is helping the relief.
Now I would like to ask you to stay in that space and to realize what you feel on a scale of 1 to 10.
10 being the place of blissful joy and 1 the place of excruciating pain.
5 would be the place of numbness in between,
Where you feel neither pain nor joy.
You might know that they are there,
But you have no access to these feelings or they feel like packed into a thick layer of cotton wool.
Many of us know how that feels.
And it is okay to be there for a while after we experience a shock or trauma,
But in the long run we exclude ourselves from feeling life in its fullness if we stay there and we stagnate in our evolution.
We might even further escape through the abuse of substances or develop compulsive disorders to provide us with the emotional highs we crave and let us forget for a while whatever burdens us down or has hurt us.
We live in the realm of our minds and the stories we tell ourselves to give us an illusion of security and help us justify our choices to stay in a situation that does not make us live in a loving and wise state of being.
Until we've gone through the next cycle of pain and face another wake up call.
The universe never stops sending you those.
You might face the same or similar situations again and again until you eventually learn your lesson and can move on and leave the cycle of suffering.
It's up to you to recognize the times when a doorway of opportunity opens where the universe orchestrates a chance for you to move into a happier place.
Some of this or all of this may resonate with you.
You chose this guided meditation because you felt drawn to it,
Drawn to meet the light within.
That's why we are meeting here my dear soul and I acknowledge your courage and welcome you wholeheartedly.
I want you to know that I have been in this situation myself and repeated the cycles of suffering more than once.
But now I know that deep within our hearts there is a place of light,
Peace and joy.
This is your pure essence.
A part of you that can never be broken nor stained nor depleted by anyone or any situation.
An endless well of light.
And it is buried there deep inside.
That light is still flickering in the darkness.
In a moment of silence you might have felt its presence,
The love that it emanates,
The strength and wisdom that lies within it.
You came here today to reconnect to that place.
So let's go.
I invite you to imagine yourself on a beach.
You feel the soft fine sand under your naked feet.
A breeze plays with your hair.
You smell the ocean.
You slowly walk towards the water and as your feet begin to be caressed by the gentle waves you feel the water is nicely warm.
You take a deep breath in and out.
You walk further and further into the sea.
You feel a gentle pull as if the water is holding your hand and pulling you under water.
And to your surprise as your head is now under the surface you are able to breathe normally.
You look around in the distance deep in the sea.
You see a warm light and you feel the current pulling you gently into that direction.
You surrender to that movement.
You let yourself float deeper and deeper and deeper into the ocean.
Closer and closer to the light.
As you are quite near now you see that the light comes from an underwater cave.
You let the stream pull you in and find yourself emerged on a beach under the sea.
A warm glow is shining from everywhere and you notice a path that leads from the beach to a beautiful temple.
You are immediately dry as you exit the water and walk up the path and the step into the temple.
As you enter you feel a wave of peace washing over you.
You are now in a place outside of time and space.
You find yourself in a round room in the middle is the flame emanating this beautiful warm glow that you saw everywhere.
You approach it and feel its warmth but it's not burning you.
All the worries,
Fears,
Pains of your life have no effect on you here.
Here you are free.
Take a few deep breaths now and breathe in this energy.
Fasten it.
Let it sink into all yourself.
Let it bring peace to your body,
Mind and soul.
I will now let you be with your flame to explore the wisdom or healing that wants to come to you.
You might also take a look around you.
Some spirit helpers might appear.
They might come in different shapes and forms.
Human,
Animal,
Plant or otherworldly like dragons or fairies that want to communicate with you.
Be completely open to whatever wants to show itself to you and ask them if they have a message for you.
You may also ask some questions.
Ask for guidance either to them or to the flame directly.
This is your time now to replenish yourself.
Find guidance and answers to the things you might have been struggling with.
New perspectives might be shown to you and the messages might come in different ways.
Images,
Words,
Emotions,
Music.
Take note of everything that happens here.
I will call you back when the time has come.
