Welcome.
Today we will focus on discovering your why.
Why do you want to create and share content and what will keep you motivated to continue to create content mindfully?
Feel free to bring over a journal if you'd like to journal during this meditation,
Or keep your journal nearby to jot down notes afterward.
Find a comfortable position and bring over anything you need to support you.
Once you're settled,
Close your eyes or find a fixed gazing point.
Take a slow breath in.
Welcome in any insights.
And open mouth exhale,
Release anything blocking your creativity.
Inhale,
Welcome inspiration.
Exhale,
Release any expectations or rules or shoulds around your content.
Continue to breathe in and out at your own pace.
See yourself now sitting at a desk.
This desk is set up just as you like it.
It is your dream creation space.
Everything you need is around you and in easy reach.
It's organized in a way that makes it easy for you to capture ideas and create as soon as you are inspired.
In front of you on this desk is a blank piece of stationery.
It's personalized with your name at the top.
Like the desk,
This piece of stationery is designed in a way that reflects who you are.
It incorporates your favorite colors and imagery.
You reach for your favorite writing utensil and prepare to write on the blank page.
You are preparing to write the message you most want to share with your community,
The message that underlies every piece of content you share.
Ask yourself,
If today was my last day on this earth,
What would I be disappointed that I didn't get to share?
What wisdom would I hope to leave with others as part of my legacy?
Begin to write your message now and let it flow.
Let words,
Phrases come to you naturally and intuitively.
Write and release the final words of your message.
Pick up and hold your completed written message in your hands.
Carefully place it into a nearby envelope and seal it closed with care.
Hold the envelope to your heart and close your eyes.
A glowing light forms in your heart space.
This light can be any color you choose that you associate with your heart and your unique message.
Observe the glowing light as it grows and radiates out to the envelope in your hand.
Feel it generate warmth in your palm.
Imagine now that on the other side of your desk is a member of your community.
With care,
You reach out and hand them your message,
With its glowing light still radiating.
Observe them as they open your envelope and read the message.
Now that they've read your message,
You both thank one another for this exchange of energy and wisdom.
This member of your community now holds the message in their hands and they show great care for it,
Safely tucking it away as they get up to leave.
You wish them well.
From a bird's eye view now,
You step back and have the chance to watch this individual as they carry the message.
They carry your message out into the world through their own creations and actions.
This message remains a beautiful glowing ray of light and that light is passed on to each person they impact.
The light expands further and further out,
Lighting up each person it reaches.
As your view slowly begins to zoom out,
Each person becomes like a light on a strand of twinkle lights.
These strands grow into one big intricate web of lights,
The circle becoming bigger and bigger even as the individuals remain connected.
They remain connected through you and your message.
Sit with this imagery for a few moments and allow yourself to feel the growth,
The transformations,
The true impact of your message.
Begin to zoom back in,
Gathering your energy back in toward yourself,
That version of you sitting at the desk.
How do you feel now as you sit at this desk?
Are there any other messages you wish to capture and write down while you're here?
If so,
Allow yourself to sit with these now.
The messages you feel called to share and the community you serve are the ones that you will remember for a lifetime.
Allow yourself to sit with these now.
The messages you feel called to share and the community you serve make up your why.
If you'd like to,
Come up with a statement or affirmation that applies to this and that you can remind yourself of regularly.
As you prepare now to step out of this space and away from your desk,
Thank yourself for showing up to share this wisdom.
Thank yourself for having the courage to share your messages.
Take a deep breath in.
Exhale,
Sigh out.
Come back into your body in the present moment,
Welcoming any small movements you might need to wake your body up.
Gently blink your eyes open to adjust back to your space.
Please feel free to journal or dot down notes on anything that came up for you during this session if you haven't already.
I hope a sense of your greater message is beginning to form now.
And if it's not clear yet,
That's okay.
This can take some time as we create and experiment and grow ourselves as individuals.
It's a process.
Return to this practice as often as you need to.
With much love and gratitude,
I close our practice together.
May we journey together again soon.
Thank you so much.
