Entelechy is a philosophical concept stemming from Aristotle's teachings,
And it talks about the potential hidden within everyone and everything.
Just like a little acorn has all it takes to become a big oak tree,
You too have all it takes to become who you always wanted to be.
In today's practice,
We're going to tap into that potential and connect with the sense of inner power.
Please go ahead and find a comfortable seated position,
Either sitting cross-legged,
On a chair,
Or even laying down.
Find a pose that supports you,
At the same time allows your body to relax.
The spine is tall,
The chest is open,
Shoulders are relaxed,
The corners of your mouth are soft and your eyes begin to close.
Start your practice by taking a couple of deep breaths.
You'll be inhaling through your nose,
And exhaling through your mouth,
In through the nose,
And out of your mouth.
Take your breath as your anchor in the present moment,
Your breath that,
On a physical level,
Connects you to the space where you are right now.
And perhaps you want to remind yourself,
I am right here,
Right now,
Right here,
Right now.
And in this very moment,
You have nothing else to do but to commit to your meditation practice.
You have nowhere else to be.
You have no one to be,
There are no roles to perform.
Right now you are here,
With your true essence,
In this very moment.
Take a couple more breaths in through the nose,
Out of your mouth,
To settle into the presence.
Take a moment to scan your body from your head to your toes.
Notice any areas of tension and discomfort,
And with every breath imagine releasing any tension there might be in the body,
Or in the mind,
And allowing a sense of calm to spread throughout your entire being.
Notice the gentle touch of your awareness spread softness through your head,
Your neck,
Your shoulders,
Down your arms to your fingertips,
Softening your torso,
Your spine,
All the way down to your hips,
Your legs and your feet.
Feel the sensations of your body,
The weight of your presence and the stillness around you,
Breathing into the fullness of your being,
With every exhale traveling to your very core.
Now begin to bring your awareness to the concept of antilochy.
Now bring your awareness to the concept of antilochy,
The realization of your potential.
Take a moment to reflect on the unique gifts,
Talents and qualities within you that are waiting to be expressed.
Sometimes we do not express our gifts because they were judged as not being good enough,
Or they were judged as being weird,
Not normal,
And so we begin to shut down the colorful self that we are,
The colorful self we wear as children,
And we start to wear more monochrome colors,
Dimming our light,
Suppressing our gifts.
But there is something within you which wants to be expressed.
There is a way how life wants to express itself through you.
So with this I would like to invite you to open your mind and open your heart to your full expression of the self.
If you were not afraid to be judged,
Who would you be?
If money was not a question,
What would you do?
Stay for a moment with these questions,
Allowing your heart and your mind to hold a safe space for a full expression of your true self.
Allow yourself to receive any visuals,
Feelings or thoughts as a response to those questions.
Now I invite you to picture a radiant light in front of you,
Your entelechy.
This entelechy is your fullest self,
It is the self that had thousands of years to master their human homework and they absolutely nailed it.
In your mind's eye you can see that this entelechy has a face,
And it begins to smile at you.
It smiles because sometimes you doubt yourself,
And just like a parent smiles lovingly and with compassion at a child that is scared although there is nothing to fear,
Your entelechy smiles at you,
Knowing that you are braver than you believe,
You are stronger than you seem,
You are smarter than you think and loved more than you know.
Feel the love coming from your highest self,
Radiating from this ball of light towards you,
Also realizing that it is you that gives you this love,
It is you that gives you this support,
Basking in the radiance of your fullest self,
Knowing that deep within you,
You have everything it takes to be who you always wanted to be.
Slowly your entelechy begins to rise,
It begins to rise and hovers above your head,
This entelechy representing your full expressed potential,
Being who you always wanted to be,
Being who you always knew you could become,
This full finalized,
Realized potential is hovering above your head.
I am going to count down from 3 to 1 and then snap my fingers.
In that instant your entelechy turns into quicksilver and your potential beyond your wildest dreams drops right into your heart.
Are you ready?
Feel your truest,
Most expansive self hover right above your head,
Holding everything you need in order to achieve what you want to and be who you really are.
3 2 1 Feel your true powerful self rest at the center of your heart and remember you are braver than you believe,
Stronger than you seem,
Smarter than you think and loved more than you know.
Take a few moments to bask in this feeling of expansion,
Braver than you believe,
Stronger than you seem,
Smarter than you think and loved more than you know.
Now begin to bring your attention back to your breath,
Take a deep breath in through your nose and a loud exhale through your mouth,
Inhale through the nose,
Sighing out of your mouth,
Breathing in and letting go.
Feel your spine tall,
Chin lifted up just a little,
Shoulders rolled back,
Expressing your true,
Powerful,
Radiant self.
Keep the feeling of your unlimited potential in your heart and when you are ready,
Slowly,
Very slowly,
Open your eyes.
