Connecting To Your Best Self - 5 Minute Daily Insight

Welcome to the Daily Insight.

I'm Carmen Warrington from Australia.

Thank you for joining me for meditation.

Today's practice is a visualization,

An invitation to use your imagination and creativity to enhance your meditation.

The purpose of this practice is to be in connection,

Connecting to that part of you which we would call your best self,

Your potential.

I hope you enjoy your meditation practice.

So sit relaxed and alert with eyes closed or slightly open,

Whatever serves you best today.

Breathe in deeply,

Breathe out.

A caterpillar,

Longing to fly,

Wrapped itself in a cocoon and dreamed of wings.

Visualize a caterpillar wrapped in its cocoon hanging by a silvery thread from the underside of a leaf attached to a tall tree.

This tree is one of a circle of trees.

Bring yourself to stand in the middle of this circle of magnificent trees where you can enjoy being alone and feeling safe and protected.

Watch as a butterfly lands on a nearby bush.

Hold out your hand,

Inviting the butterfly to land on your finger.

There.

Something in you identifies with this beautiful little being,

Once an earthbound caterpillar longing to be its best self.

Allow the moment to pass,

The butterfly flutters away.

A caterpillar longing to fly wrapped itself in a cocoon and dreamed of wings.

And you,

What do you long to change in yourself?

What is calling you to be the best that you can be?

Choose something about yourself,

Something you'd like to empower through meditation.

Create a vision of your best self.

Sit in your quiet power.

Awaken your highest self.

Dream of being the best that you can be.

And let your wings unfold.

This meditation is coming to a close.

Breathe in deeply.

Breathe out.

Thank you for meditating today.

And when you're ready,

Open your eyes.
