Welcome.
Thank you for joining me today as we explore the importance of meaning and purpose in our lives.
First let's begin to settle as you find a comfortable seat in a quiet space.
Take a deep breath as you lengthen up through your spine,
Adopting a posture of confidence and elegance.
On your next full breath,
Envision that you are tapping into your source of power through the earth's energy.
Drawing this energy into your core,
All the way to your fingers and toes,
Bringing connection and strength.
Let's take one more full deep breath,
Holding for a moment at the top of the inhalation.
As you exhale,
Imagine your breath is channeling through your body like a surge of electricity,
Lighting you up from the inside out.
Feel that energy radiating and energizing every part of your being,
Igniting the fire within you.
Drink it in.
Ask yourself,
What is your deepest desire?
What lights you up and makes your heart sing?
What do you want to be in this world of possibilities?
What stirs your passions?
Rumi says,
Seek the path that demands your whole being.
Some of us are born with a gift,
As though we are predestined with a purpose.
Others may be called to purpose through gentle soul-nodging or certain situations that arise.
Perhaps you have taken the scenic path and are enjoying the journey,
But have somewhat lost your way.
Maybe you have allowed yourself to be shaped by life's twists and turns and trusted in your inner guidance,
Going with the flow,
But finding you need a little more direction.
If you haven't already,
Take time to discover your unique talents.
Write a list of your best attributes.
Recall your finest moments where your contribution made a positive difference,
Made someone smile,
Lifted someone up.
Be aware of even the most subtle day-to-day moments.
Don't let possible meaningful moments pass you by with barely a thought.
Use this fuel to light your fire and generate enthusiasm and determination.
Be the bright light that draws opportunities to your flame.
Invoke the solar plexus chakra.
Wear yellow or gold.
Turn your face to the sun and feel its warm glow on your skin.
Be your own ray of sunshine.
Everything you need lies within you to blossom,
Flourish and grow and pursue your true purpose.
You are worthy and capable of achieving your dreams.
Blaze a trail and inspire others.
What could be more meaningful than this?
Remember to always thank those who inspired you on your journey and be grateful for your ancestors,
Without which you would not be here.
There is a reason that you are.
Be confident in the knowledge that you belong.
As your confidence builds,
Your path will become clearer and your dreams will begin to form into ideas.
Ignited by the fire of your willpower,
These ideas will begin to manifest into reality.
Let your light shine and connect you to others who encourage and support you and fan your flames.
Go where you are celebrated.
Above all,
Be gracious and kind to all you meet.
Keep a positive attitude and remember that you are a wonderful human being,
Capable of more than you know.
Bring your awareness back to your surroundings,
Your body and your breath.
Slowly open your eyes,
Your heart and your soul to a day of brilliance,
Ready to channel your purpose for the highest good.
Namaste.
