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.
Just be still and listen.
Start by taking three deep breaths in through your nose,
Out through your mouth,
Allowing yourself to expand and be filled with air on each inhale,
And release tension with each exhale.
You can continue breathing in this way for as long as you would like,
Eventually allowing your breath to come back to normal.
Imagine that you are in a safe and protected space,
Perhaps somewhere you've been before,
Or maybe somewhere you are making up in your imagination.
Imagine you are sitting across from yourself.
Perhaps your older self,
Younger self,
Your self as you are now,
Your soul self.
And this self is completely safe and trustworthy,
And represents your wisest,
Deepest self.
Your inner voice,
This self has all the answers,
And they are inside of you.
There is nothing you can't ask,
And no answer you will not receive.
Take some time now to get to know this wise self,
And ask some questions,
And listen and trust the answers that come.
Without overthinking,
Listen and receive.
Trust what comes.
You will know the truth by how it feels,
By how it resonates with you.
Know that you can always turn here to this place inward to your wisest self.
The more you practice listening,
The easier it will become.
Your inner voice will not lead you astray.
Take the time always,
In any moment,
No matter how stressful or chaotic the circumstances may be,
You can always stop,
Pause,
And listen.
Do this as often as you can,
And trust what you hear,
That you are your greatest friend and ally,
Only you know what is truly best for you,
What is truly best for your soul,
The lightest path,
The path of ease and joy.
Continue practicing listening to your inner voice as often as you can.
Come to this safe space,
Receive and trust what comes.
Thank you for sharing your meditation practice with me.
May you stay with yourself,
Today and always.
