And welcome to this guided visualization for self-confidence and willpower.
You can begin by sitting down or laying down comfortably.
Close your eyes and begin by taking a deep slow breath in and a slow breath out.
With each breath you are allowing your body to begin to relax.
Do this three times,
Breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Now imagine you are a candle in a dark room.
You are a lit candle in this dark room.
You are this burning flame.
Next to you is another candle yet to be lit.
This candle is by your right side.
It was always there in the dark but only now they were focused on your own light.
Can you see it?
Now imagine taking your light and lighting the candle next to you.
And by lighting the candle next to you,
You see that it doesn't diminish your light.
In fact,
Now you are two burning candles.
Both of you shining brightly in a uniqueness and sparkling divinity.
And so now the room is brighter than it was before.
And now imagine lighting another candle at your left side.
It was always there but only now with more brightness in the room.
Can you see it?
Again,
Lighting this other candle near you does not diminish your light.
And now we have three burning candles.
And the room is much brighter than it was before.
Each candle burning brightly in its own uniqueness,
In its own light.
These two other candles didn't take your flame but they've added to your flame.
And so now imagine lighting yet another candle.
This one is behind you.
Again,
It doesn't diminish your flame and the room is even brighter.
It was only possible for you to notice this candle behind you after the room now being much brighter than it was before.
And with this candle lit behind you,
You feel less weight,
More supported and warmer.
Next,
Imagine a fourth candle appearing in front of you.
And again,
There is no effort for you to light it up.
This candle emerged effortlessly as by the momentum of you lighting the other three candles.
You don't feel tired.
In fact,
You feel your flame being supported by these other four candles around you.
And you feel yourself being propelled towards your future with ease.
And now the room is so much brighter than before that you can see that in fact there are thousands of other candles around you.
Without effort,
Some of the candles you have lit now are lighting other candles in the room.
One by one,
More and more flames are burning and it all started with your light.
Your candle that illuminated all the others.
You became a catalyst for change,
For transformation,
For illumination.
Burning the candles did not diminish your light.
It enhanced your light.
And what was once a dark room is now bright and golden.
The smell of incense is magnificent.
There are thousands of lit candles around you now.
Through your action of lighting just four candles,
You managed to reach thousands of lights.
Just allow all of these candles to represent all of the people in your life.
The people you wish to serve and to help,
To illuminate.
They could be friends,
Family,
Loved ones,
Clients or business partners.
Just allow those candles to represent the people in your life that you wish to touch,
That you wish to improve the lives of.
To become a catalyst for their change,
Their growth and their light.
And so,
Know that sometimes the candles that you light will go on to help others and you are leaving a legacy behind long beyond just your flame.
How does that feel?
When you shine bright in your light,
You are shining your true,
Authentic self.
Exactly as you are in your own uniqueness.
Don't try to be like anyone else,
But be yourself.
Speak your unique voice.
And when you are your true,
Authentic self,
You will be expected,
Honored and loved for being who you really are.
Give yourself permission to shine and allow others to shine also.
There is enough room on this planet for everyone to shine.
Because this is our truth.
We are all shining lights.
And sometimes we forget that.
Now open your eyes.
Smile and give yourself permission to shine.
And so,
Know that sometimes the candles that you light will go on to help others and
