Hello,
And welcome.
My name is Matthew Du Plessis,
And today I'll be guiding you on a meditation designed to connect you back into balance with your most authentic self.
Whether this is your first time listening,
Or you are returning once more to this sacred space,
You are exactly where you are meant to be.
This meditation invites us into a season of reflection,
Balance,
And gentle transformation.
It is a time to pause between what was and what is becoming.
So take this moment to arrive fully in your body.
Feel the support beneath you.
Let your breath soften.
Let your awareness draw inward.
Inhale deeply,
And exhale fully.
Feel the rhythm of the earth in your body,
Steady,
Sacred,
Wise.
You are not here to figure anything out.
You are here to remember.
Let yourself simply be for the next few breaths.
Listen to the music,
And let your nervous system soften as you begin this inner journey.
As you continue to breathe and listen to the music,
Imagine a grand space forming before you,
A beautiful field outdoors connected to this energy of sacred space.
For as far as you can see,
The golden grains blow gently in the wind as the sun cascades down upon your head and shoulders,
Inviting you to breathe deeply in reverence and appreciation for this beautiful life that you have cultivated.
Imagine yourself here now in this field,
With a moment of peace and contentment in your heart.
As we take a deep breath,
Inhale,
And exhale,
I invite you now to bring your attention to the different roles you have played in your life.
Not just your job or your name,
But the experiences that have helped shape your human identity.
You may have been a son or daughter,
A mother or a father,
A friend,
A lover,
A partner,
A guide.
Let each of these roles rise up one by one,
As if they are standing in a circle around you.
These roles are not who you are,
But they've helped shape how you've grown.
Offer gratitude to each one.
No need to judge,
Just witness,
Honor,
Acknowledge.
And know this,
You are not confined to any one role.
You are a multidimensional being,
A soul wearing many hats in the play of life.
Each time you listen to this meditation,
One of these roles may ask for more attention.
Notice what arises today.
Take the next few moments in silence to feel into these roles and imagine them as if they are standing in a circle around you.
Which one feels most present?
Which one is asking to be seen or honored today?
Now we go deeper,
Beyond the roles,
Into the archetypes.
These are the primal,
Universal energies that live within you.
The provider,
The healer,
The warrior,
The student,
The visionary,
The wise elder,
The artist,
The inner child.
Some of these archetypes have been strong within you this year.
Others may feel dormant and asleep,
Waiting to be reawakened.
Let each one of your archetypes appear in the theater of your mind.
What do they look like?
How do they move?
What do they carry?
Invite them into your circle to stand with the roles you've played,
As well as with these new archetypes,
The primal,
Universal energies that live within you.
Explore them without fear or pressure.
Just curiosity.
Just openness.
You might discover something new about yourself here today,
And the next time you return,
Another archetype may arise.
In this stillness,
Invite one archetype to step forward.
Allow their presence to show you what they need or offer.
Sit with them in silence for a few breaths.
As you continue to hold space for these beautiful parts of you in the golden field,
Now feel into your inner world the mosaic of personalities,
Preferences,
And patterns.
There may be a part of you who seeks order,
And another who longs for spontaneity,
A part who loves being seen,
And one who hides in quiet observation.
Each of these inner selves has wisdom.
Each of them belongs.
This meditation invites you to embrace contradiction as part of your harmony.
Let these selves come forward now.
Greet them.
Welcome them.
As you do,
Notice.
Which of them is leading your life lately?
And which of them has been forgotten or suppressed?
Allow this space to shift,
And let new parts of you speak.
Let your inner counsel gather.
As you sit in stillness now,
With each breath,
Invite a conversation among your inner selves.
Let one voice rise gently.
Listen to what it wants you to know.
Now we call forward the version of you who feels most aligned with your truth in this moment.
Feel this version emerge from your heart,
A presence bathed in light and clarity,
Not perfect,
Not fixed,
But free,
True,
And real.
Who are you when you're not performing?
Who are you when you're not proving,
Protecting,
Or pretending?
This version of you knows the way forward.
Feel how they would walk,
How they breathe,
What they choose.
What is their life like?
How do they speak to themselves?
And how do they love?
What is their relationship to time?
To work?
To joy?
What is their impact on others?
Let this version of you settle into the center of your being.
Allow them to become your guide.
Not just today,
But as the season unfolds.
Return to this meditation and place anytime you need to remember who you truly are.
Now,
Allow this authentic self to show you something.
A vision,
A feeling,
A knowing.
Let the music hold you as you receive.
At this moment,
I invite you to feel the energy of this meditation wrapping gently around you now.
The energy of harvest,
Of balance,
Of sacred pause.
You are many things.
You have lived many lives,
Even within this one.
And yet,
You are always whole.
With each breath,
You integrate what you've remembered.
With each breath,
You return more fully to your center.
May this meditation serve as your companion.
Each time you listen,
Let something new be revealed.
And may the most authentic version of you lead you forward with clarity,
Grace,
And love.
Take one final deep breath.
Inhale life force energy.
Exhale and smile.
And when you're ready,
Return to the day knowing who you truly are.
Take these final moments in stillness to anchor what you've discovered.
Let the wisdom settle deep into your body before you open your eyes.
I invite you to listen to this meditation as many times as you feel inspired,
As well as to journal your thoughts and reflections from today's meditation to anchor into you the truths that you have remembered.
Thank you for being here.
Have a blessed day.
Sat Nam.
Namaste.
