Not Your Typical Northstar Meditation

Welcome to today's guided meditation.

This is not your typical North Star meditation.

I invite you to take this journey with me,

But first I ask that you release,

Leave at the door,

Put down the weight of your preconceived notions of all that is possible for you.

All the things that you think are practical,

Logical,

Possible are based on the past and I am here to take you on a path to connect with the North Star that has no limitations,

No confinements,

And there's nothing logical about it.

If you're ready to take that journey with me,

I invite you to find a comfortable position and when you're ready take a nice deep breath in through your nose and exhale with a nice sigh,

Releasing your shoulders,

Releasing the weight of the world that you've been carrying.

There's nothing to solve,

Nothing to figure out,

Nothing to get done.

You simply get to be and let my voice guide you to your inner landscape,

To that inner space that has zero limitations.

All things are possible,

All is well,

And everything that you desire has a space.

I invite you to begin by relaxing your entire body,

Starting at the crown of your head.

As you take a nice inhale in through your nose and exhale at your own pace,

Allow the sound of my voice speaking the next body part to relax it even more.

There's nothing to do,

There's no trying,

You just are.

Relaxing your face,

Relaxing the muscles behind your eyes,

Relaxing your cheeks,

Your jaw muscles,

Parting your lips and your teeth,

Allowing your tongue to rest.

Continuing to inhale and exhale,

And each breath takes you deeper into relaxation as you continue relaxing the muscles in your neck,

Your shoulders,

First your left shoulder and your right shoulder,

Allowing every body part to relax in turn.

Again there is no trying,

There is no doing,

There is just being.

As you continue to breathe,

Each exhale allows you to release a little bit more of your preconceived notions of any and all limiting beliefs,

If even just for the moment.

Continuing to inhale and exhale,

Relaxing your chest,

Your upper back,

Your arms,

Relaxing your hands,

Your fingers,

Noticing how just placing your attention on each body part allows it to relax and soften and melt,

Bringing you into a deeper state of relaxation than you know possible,

Even more relaxed than you were a moment before.

And just when you thought you couldn't relax even more,

You find yourself drifting into a deeper,

Softer,

More spacious relaxation,

Allowing your solar plexus,

Your mid-back to soften,

Feeling the weight of your body in space.

Continuing to breathe,

Releasing all doubt,

Fear and worry on your exhale as if they were little bubbles of energy,

Noticing how easily they fade away.

Continuing to breathe and relax your lower belly,

No gripping needed,

Relax your hips,

Your thighs,

All those internal muscles in your pelvic bowl,

Just letting them soften and warm and relax with each breath,

Relaxing your legs,

Your calves,

Your shins,

Bringing stillness and softness to your feet.

And if you feel the need to wiggle your fingers or your toes to experience the contrast of movement and stillness,

It's your body.

Do what feels right.

Continuing your breath in a way that feels paced and comfortable for you,

I invite you to go into your inner landscape and just begin to notice.

Notice any details or lack of details.

For you it might be a dark inner space where you see stars and planets.

Perhaps it's a place in nature where you love going,

Where you love being.

Where is that place for you,

That inner place where you can settle down,

Settle in and finally release the noise and distraction of the outer world,

If only for a few moments.

And if a thought or a distraction or an external noise happens to make its way into your awareness,

Let it be part of your inner landscape.

There's no bad,

There's no good,

There just is.

Settle into this space and begin to notice how does the air feel.

Is it warm or cool?

Is the wind blowing or is it perfectly still?

Notice your surroundings or perhaps you're floating in the beautiful darkness of space.

There's no wrong,

There's no right here.

Notice your body or perhaps you find yourself as just pure energy floating.

In either case make note.

Look down,

Look up,

Look to the right,

Look to the left.

If you need something to feel more comfortable,

More present,

More cozy,

Go ahead and add that.

This is your internal landscape.

Perhaps you find yourself moving around in space and time,

Looking around,

Feeling like the limitless being that you are or perhaps you need a cozy furry blanket to wrap around you.

And from this place of pure physical and internal relaxation,

Presence,

And peace,

I invite you to look up and just notice as if for the first time your own North Star is shining like a beacon,

Like a lighthouse,

Like a beam of light straight into your heart.

Let yourself connect to this North Star.

As you realize that this North Star is not just the one that's going to tell you what to do and how to do it,

But this is the one that is directly connected to your soul.

Through time,

Space,

Lifetimes,

Generations,

This has been your personal unique soul print North Star guiding you.

At moments you can feel that connection and you've been able to take inspired action,

But other times the connection seems cloudy,

Distracted by the noise of the world.

In this perfect time and space right now you have the opportunity to ask your North Star exactly what you need to know to take your very next tiny step towards the limitless boundless direction of your soul's purpose.

Take a moment right now and connect even deeper with that beam of light into your heart connected to your North Star.

Notice if it feels warm or strong or sparkly and ask the question,

What is my very next step towards my soul's purpose?

Take a moment and just listen.

You might receive the answer as a feeling,

As an image,

As words,

Or a symbol.

Perhaps you might experience it as a deep knowing,

But it will be very clear.

Take a moment right now and just listen.

There is no right or wrong here,

So just notice anything that came up.

Perhaps it was even just another question.

Again,

There is no right or wrong answer.

This is your North Star.

This is your unlimited potential space.

You are welcome to come back here anytime and every time you need internal guidance,

You need clarity,

You need validation,

And a place to let go of all external expectations,

Priorities,

And needs of other people and focus back in on your North Star.

In most cases,

When you truly listen,

You'll notice that it doesn't look like anyone else's path,

Like anyone else's idea about what is right for you.

Take some time to sit with it,

To trust it.

The more you can come back here to this place of deep relaxation,

Releasing of all external ideas,

Releasing of your internal limiting beliefs that were simply given to you by other people,

The more you will be able to trust your own North Star's directions.

And a reminder that you would not have been given an idea,

A dream,

A possibility,

Or a vision without the full capability and capacity to move in that direction and create from a place of limitless possibility.

Thank you so much for being here with me today.

I'll see you next time.

Again,

This is Alaina Lipson,

And I hope you have a beautiful,

Guided,

Intuitive,

Magical rest of your day.
