Your passions are the keys to your purpose in this life.
Like directions on a map,
They guide you to your most fully expressed life.
One filled with joy and love.
When we get clear on what we want life to look and feel like,
We can begin choosing in favor of our passions so that each day feels better than the one before.
Some people think that if they follow their passions,
Then they won't be able to support themselves or their families.
This isn't what that means.
You don't have to quit your day job to live a deeply fulfilling life,
At least not in most cases.
Passion in this sense really means priorities.
What matters the most to you in your life right now?
Perhaps you want to wake up each day with love in your heart and energy in your body.
Perhaps you want loving,
Respectful relationships with others.
Maybe you want to look in the mirror and see someone that you love.
Maybe you want to be in the best physical shape of your life or inspire others through your example or have a beautiful,
Safe,
Peaceful home environment or work with a fun and supportive team doing meaningful work,
Whatever that means to you.
Your passions can be anything.
In this meditation,
I'm going to guide you to connect to your heart,
To your passions,
So that you can begin this process of clarity and begin creating a life that you truly love.
You may want to have a pen and paper nearby so that you can begin writing your list when this meditation is complete.
10 to 12 times,
You could complete the sentence,
When my life is ideal,
I am.
You don't have to write them down if you simply prefer to stay in the energy of the meditation.
But if you do,
Write from the heart.
Write down what you truly desire in your life,
No matter the how.
The how is none of our business and it reveals itself through our consistent,
Imperfect actions.
If you do choose to write a list,
Shoot for the stars.
Not what you settle for or what would be good enough,
But what you truly desire in your heart of hearts.
This is the beginning of the process of the passion test.
When you activate the dreams of your heart,
You may feel more alive than you have felt in a long while.
You may feel a profound sense of love.
Whatever you feel,
Remember that you deserve a life that you love.
You are worthy of a joyful experience on this earth.
Now I invite you to get comfortable.
You might sit with your feet on the ground and your back as straight as possible so that your breath and energy can flow unobstructed.
Start to become aware of your breath.
Getting in and out of your nose slowly.
If you feel comfortable doing so,
Close your eyes.
If you prefer to keep them open,
Soften your focus.
Look down at your knees or the floor and let your vision blur a bit.
You might place your hands on your heart or gently in your lap.
Nothing comes from the heart,
So placing your hands there can help to activate that energy.
You may even tap on your heart center a few times.
We tend to live in our heads.
In the future,
In the past,
And so rarely in this moment right now.
This moment is all there is,
Right here,
Right now.
Take a deep belly breath in through your nose and imagine as you do,
You are collecting all of your thoughts and all of your energy from the past or the future and breathing them in into this moment.
As you exhale,
Let any stress or tension that you're holding release.
Just let it go.
Breathe in,
Hold for a moment and then let it go.
Pushing out anything and everything that no longer serves you.
One more deep cleansing breath in your nose.
Hold for a moment and then exhale everything until no more air comes out.
Now let your breath return to a natural,
Easy pattern and imagine a beam of light streaming down from high above in the sky as the light streams over you.
Imagine the warmth of that light.
See it streaming over you and filling you.
As the light touches the crown of your head,
You feel its warmth.
See it filling the top of your head,
Relaxing your forehead,
Your eyes,
Your cheeks,
Your mouth and your jaw.
Even your tongue relaxes.
As you breathe in,
The light passes down into your neck and shoulders,
Relaxing and releasing any tension there.
As you breathe in again,
Your spine naturally straightens as the light passes down into and over your shoulders,
Chest and upper back.
With every gentle breath,
You feel the light warming you,
Filling you,
Relaxing you and releasing any tension in your body,
Down your spine,
Your lower back and your belly relaxes.
Your hips relax.
Your thighs,
Even your knees relax and this light fills and cascades over you.
You feel warm and filled with love as the light passes over and through your calves,
Your ankles,
Your feet and toes.
You are filled with this warm,
Loving light.
Notice how the light continues to pour over you,
Through you and now,
Down even beyond your feet,
Into the ground and down into the center of the earth.
See the light from where it starts high above you to where it stops in the center of the earth.
Notice how your heart grows brightly,
The center of this light.
With each breath,
Notice that light around your heart growing brighter and brighter around you.
Notice how peaceful and loving it feels to be grounded in the center by this light from above and below,
Right now.
Now,
From this relaxed,
Centered space,
Take a few more breaths and release the vision of the light.
Ask now in this feeling of love.
