Welcome to the Daily Insight.
My name is Jessica Amos,
Founder of Stay With Yourself and teacher here on Insight Timer.
Today's meditation is about listening to your inner wisdom.
All the answers are already inside you,
Ready and waiting to guide the way.
Let's be still and listen.
Start by getting comfortable with your feet firmly planted on the floor and your hands gently resting in your lap.
Allow your chair to support your spine as you sit upright and tall,
As you soften and open your heart space,
Relaxing,
Preparing to receive.
Take three deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Imagine your tummy is an empty balloon being filled with air,
And with each exhale,
Release any tension that is being held in your body.
Continue breathing deeply in and out until your body feels relaxed from head to toe,
Neck and shoulders,
Hips,
Arms.
Breathe deeply,
Relax and be here now,
Open and ready to receive.
Imagine that you are in a beautiful space,
A sanctuary,
Maybe inside or out in nature,
Somewhere familiar or maybe just something,
Somewhere you can imagine,
But imagine it to be beautiful,
Protected,
Safe,
And enter this space and make yourself comfortable.
Be here,
Restful,
And notice that another being is entering this space.
You are safe,
Wise,
Trustworthy,
And notice that it is you,
It is yourself,
Your wisest self,
Arriving here now,
Perhaps in the form of you now,
Or maybe in the form of you older or younger,
Or your soul self.
Allow your wise self to arrive in whatever way comes,
And as you sit before your wise self,
Feel how much love there is between you,
How much support,
How much care and comfort there is,
And know you can ask anything and everything.
You can share your deepest hearts,
Desire,
Feelings with your true wise self,
And trust any answers,
Any response that your wise self gives.
All the answers are already inside of you,
Only your wisest self truly knows what is best for you in any given moment.
So feel that love and that trust and that safety now,
And take some time to sit here,
To ask your questions,
To share your heart,
And trust whatever answers,
Whatever response you receive from your wise self.
You will know it by its truth,
You will know the truth by how it resonates with your heart.
And if you find yourself becoming distracted or overwhelmed,
Or you struggle to listen,
Or you doubt the answers that come,
That is okay.
It takes time and practice to start listening and to trust,
And if you need to create a different vision,
A different visualization or picture of how you would like to commune with your wise inner voice,
Do that for yourself.
Take the time to commune with your own wisdom in whatever way is best for you.
I am going to leave you with several minutes of soft music.
Allow your inner wisdom,
Your wise self to speak to you and to say whatever it is they have to say.
Trust what comes.
Feel yourself as your greatest friend and ally.
Your wise self,
Your inner voice will never lead you astray.
Take time now to listen and to be.
No matter the circumstances,
No matter what life brings you,
No matter how confusing it might be at times,
You can trust your own wisdom.
You can trust the still small voice inside you.
You can trust that all the answers are there waiting.
All you need to do is stop,
Pause,
Listen,
Trust that you are truly your greatest friend and ally.
Your soul will not lead you astray.
Thank you for sharing your meditation practice with me.
May you stay with yourself,
May you listen to your inner voice,
Today and always.
