Voyage Of Self Discovery - Choosing Paths With Intuition

Welcome to this meditation designed to help support you when making choices in your life,

When decisions are to be made or you're unclear around which direction to take.

This meditation will guide you inwards connecting to your intuition and your own inner guidance.

Take a moment to ground yourself in your body,

Center yourself with your breath and on your next breath gently close your eyes or soften your gaze.

Invite your body to relax a little further as you settle into this moment ready to begin your voyage of self-discovery.

As we begin to turn inwards notice the rise and fall of your body with your breath just like the flow of the ocean waves.

Feeling your body expand as you inhale nourishing oxygen and the release as you let go and exhale.

Dropping away from your doing thinking mind and moving towards your core center,

Your heart,

Your intuition giving space for this to flow throughout this meditation.

Leaving any expectations outside of the room and bringing this sense of openness and curiosity to whatever arises throughout these next few minutes.

We are about to set sail on a voyage into the vast open seas.

I invite you to bring to mind a vessel that you would love to travel in.

What would your ship,

Your yacht,

Your vessel look like?

Imagine setting foot onto your vessel,

Your anchor still connected to the ground.

Imagine your large billowing sails floating up towards the sky as you gaze out to the ocean unsure of your destination.

Before we set sail I invite you to bring to mind a choice that you have in your life at the moment.

Perhaps there are two options that you can't quite decide between.

Two destinations,

Two paths.

I invite you to choose one of them for now.

We will come back and explore the other but go with whichever one you would like to explore first.

So set your compass in the direction of this first choice and lift your anchor.

We are ready to set sail.

Imagine the wind connecting to your sails as your ship departs floating on the ocean waves.

As we journey towards this first destination notice what sensations are arising within you now.

Are there sensations in your body of fear,

Of excitement,

Peace or curiosity?

Just notice whatever you're feeling right now with no judgment,

Just gentle interest.

And as we continue along our journey imagine what you may see or experience along the way.

Perhaps there are challenges you have to face along the way but these are obstacles you can overcome with ease and grace as you head closer to your first destination.

How does it feel to be soon arriving here?

Look around you.

What do you see?

What do you hear the sounds around you?

Is there anyone there to greet you?

Imagine your ship safely pulling into shore as you lower the anchor,

Tighten the sails and your feet step off and connect with the ground.

Breathe in this space.

How do you feel to have arrived here?

What energy does that stir within you?

What is your soul telling you about being here?

Does it feel right or is there doubt?

Take some time here.

Look around.

Get a sense of the place.

What would your life look like and feel like if you were to make this choice?

If you had to leave this space how would that feel?

For now we can return but in order for us to see whether this is the right choice for you we must explore the other option.

So I invite you to step back on your ship,

Take hold of your compass and set the new direction to the other option,

The other destination for us to explore.

Make your farewell to this place as your ship embarks on the next phase of its journey.

As you flow with the ocean notice the buoyancy of your ship,

The energy that's driving it.

Is your ship being pulled to one destination over the other?

Does there seem to be resistance or is your ship flowing freely,

Willingly?

What is the weather like on this journey?

Are the waters calm and peaceful and clear or are the waters rough perhaps indicating a foreboding storm on its way?

How does it feel to be approaching this second destination?

This choice now coming into view.

Notice your senses,

The atmosphere.

Is there anybody here to guide you?

What is your body telling you?

Don't try to question these feelings,

Just notice.

Your ship arrives at this new destination.

You drop the anchor and step off onto this new land.

As you place your feet onto this new ground notice the feelings within you.

Comparing both destinations now notice which lights you up more?

Which is pulling you closer?

Where do you want to stay and explore more to see where it takes you?

Notice the physical sensations in your body with curiosity.

Any thoughts arising?

Feelings in your heart?

Connecting to the essence of your soul,

Your intuition away from your practical thinking mind and down deep into your soul.

As it becomes time to leave this place how does it feel to have to say farewell?

You step back onto your ship,

Unhook your anchor and notice where your ship wishes for you to be.

But before you either stay or depart you look down at your compass and notice that it is spinning and spinning.

Then all of a sudden your compass stops.

It is pointing in a new direction.

A third option that we may not have considered before.

Before you make your final decision your compass wishes to take you on a new unknown journey.

So you allow your ship to set sail into the open seas once more.

Unsure where you are going?

Imagine what you may see on this journey.

Where could you be going?

Who may you interact with?

What is the energy and the weather of the seas beneath you?

This may not yet make sense but notice what comes up for you.

Where could you be going?

In the distance you notice another ship.

It has come to guide you.

I wonder where they are taking you?

How does this third destination feel to you?

You follow this guiding ship all the way to a new shore.

You let down your anchor and step onto the land.

What do you notice around you?

What's the energy like here?

How does it feel to be here?

Now take a moment to compare all three destinations now.

Which one is pulling you closer?

It may not make sense but just notice that feeling within you.

Where do you wish to be?

Where do you wish to be?

Not what others may tell you to do.

What feels right to you?

You may still not be a hundred percent sure but follow that feeling and trust the journey.

You do know what is the right direction for you.

Trust yourself.

Step back onto your ship.

Set your compass to the direction you wish to go in.

Lift your anchor as your boat sets sail once more.

Perhaps you've chosen to stay on this third destination or traveling back to the previous two.

Maybe a brand new idea has popped into your head as well that you'd like to explore.

But this ocean navigation it teaches us to listen to that feeling,

That whisper of a voice inside of us nudging us to edge closer to our dreams.

That is our truth.

That is our path.

Perhaps our sole purpose-led path but certainly a path that feels right for you will always have the potential to bring you joy.

And as this visualization begins to fade in your mind's eye just notice within you how you feel right now.

Begin to ground yourself into your body once more.

Listening to any further insights that arise.

Reconnecting to your breath flowing like those ocean waves.

The gentle ebb and flow of rhythm within you.

Taking another deep inhale,

A slow exhale.

Now the answers still may be unclear but over the next few days just notice feelings,

Thoughts that arise because that wisdom is within you.

Trust yourself.

When you're ready blinking open your eyes to set forth on your destination for the rest of the day.

Namaste.
