Hello,
This is Melissa Baker Honeybee,
Author of Conscious Adulting in the Digital Age.
Thank you for joining me.
In motherhood,
There is a lot of times where our attention is spread thin.
Our calendars are booked.
We multitask to survive and we think we can do it all.
For these next few minutes,
Allow yourself to just focus on this one thing.
This one thing being a meditation to help you when you feel lost.
Give yourself the space to reconnect to your own inner compass,
To your own inner guide that may feel neglected or out of reach of your own soft hands.
As a mother,
We go through many transformative moments and because of our selfless giving,
We tend to not take the time to process and accept these changes.
Many times we neglect the parts of ourself calling us home to give our energy and attention to the kids,
The job,
The partner,
The house,
The things that need us to be there.
This is your permission to be there for yourself,
To touch your own heart and hold your own hand as you cross the road of life.
Whether you are seated or lying down,
Place your hands over your heart or wrap them around the front of your body,
Holding yourself in whatever way you need right now.
Soothe yourself.
Though you may feel lost,
Confused,
Doubting the steps that led you to this moment,
Trust that what you're feeling is okay to feel.
Though you may feel lost,
You are finding yourself.
You are remembering what is buried under the laundry piles and self-doubt.
When you are in that temporary place of the unknown,
It is easy to blame your children or point your finger to the material world.
It is easy to choose fear over love.
Sometimes when we feel this way,
We ask outside voices to intrude in hopes for answers and support that will help us.
We tirelessly search in people or social media.
We search for a place to belong and feel the love that we are inherently worthy of.
We search outside of our own breath and with good intentions,
We want to know what is next or why this is happening to me.
Yet in this outward gaze,
We forget our inner gaze.
Our inner knowing has everything we need.
We forget there is one place that deeply knows who we are.
The place within our inner temple where the jewels and insights live harmoniously,
Awaiting our arrival to give us the guidance and words to help us find our way.
Whether it is a specific situation or in the day-to-day routine that has brought you to this moment and feeling,
Recognize the ability you have to tune in to this inner compass,
Asking for its compassionate guidance.
See past those voices that are not your own.
The voice of self-doubt,
Betrayal,
Or anger.
Look deeper into that whisper of what you really want and what is calling you home.
Though this moment in your life may feel like you're stuck or not where you want to be,
Please remember.
Remember all the times that you've overcome.
Remember that courage is pumping through your blood and through your heart.
Remember that it is okay to forgive yourself.
Give yourself the space to feel this way.
To feel however you feel.
To feel the lostness.
Perhaps you give yourself a 24-hour window to feel all the feels of being in this very human and vulnerable place.
Feel compassion towards the movement of this energy in motion.
Let yourself be moved and let it move through you.
Let it transform you.
Allow.
Then step onto the earth.
Step into your heart.
Rooting down in the internal vision of your highest self.
Check in with your inner guide and step into the evolution that the universe is asking you to see.
Becoming more yourself.
Radiating the beauty that this world needs that is only given from you.
Celebrate the smallest of victories even if the future is unknown.
Live and breathe right now.
Grow new branches.
Explore new avenues in your heart's longing to love and be loved.
Remember that motherhood is a journey and you get to walk it consciously.
So step with conviction and open your heart to the inner voice guiding you home.
It takes courage to love yourself.
To be where you are.
To love life and to learn how to sit in the stillness in the midst of chaos.
So breathe dear one for you are exactly where you need to be.
Hold yourself and trust yourself.
Your inner teacher is there to guide you on your path.
Trust.
