Find a quiet,
Peaceful space where you will not be disturbed.
Place a candle in front of you at a comfortable distance.
Light the candle and sit in a position that feels natural yet allows you to stay focused.
Gently close your eyes for a moment,
Take a deep breath and prepare to settle into this time for yourself.
When you are ready,
Softly open your eyes and allow your gaze to rest on the flickering flame.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in and a long,
Gentle breath out.
As you're breathing,
Feel the coolness of the air entering your nose,
Filling your chest and expanding your belly.
As you exhale,
Let any tension begin to soften and melt away.
Continue this gentle rhythm of breathing,
Letting yourself arrive fully into this present moment.
The world outside can wait,
For now,
This space is yours.
As you sit here with the flame,
Allow your mind to bring forward a question or problem that has been weighing heavy on your heart.
There is no need to force it,
Simply let the question arise naturally.
It may be something you've been wrestling with or longing for clarity in some area of your life.
Hold this question gently in your awareness,
Like a whisper from your soul,
As you return your focus to the candle.
And now turn your full attention to the candle's flame,
Observe how it flickers and dances,
Yet it remains steady and bright at its core.
Notice how the light moves with ease,
Never struggling,
Simply being.
As you watch the flame,
Imagine its light beginning to softly awaken something within you,
A light that already lives deep in the center of your chest,
In the sacred space of your heart.
With each breath in,
The flame's light travels toward your heart,
Igniting the gentle glow of your inner light.
With each breath out,
This glow expands,
Growing warmer and brighter.
Breathe in,
Drawing the candle's light into your heart space.
Breathe out,
Feeling your inner light spreading,
Radiating outward.
Notice how this light begins to glow stronger,
A soft,
Golden warmness that fills your chest,
Your body,
And the space around you.
Let it grow,
Let it shine,
Brighter and brighter with each breath.
Now,
With your heart glowing,
Allow yourself to see a path gently unfolding before you.
This path is illuminated by your inner light,
Guiding you toward the answer you seek.
Take a moment to trust what arises,
Whether it comes as an image,
A word,
A feeling,
Or simply a sense of knowing.
Breathe deeply and walk along this path in your mind.
Trust the light to show you the way,
The answer,
Or the next step is here,
Waiting for you.
There is no need to rush,
Let the path unfold as it needs to.
You are safe,
Supported,
And guided by this light within.
Gently,
When you feel ready,
Bring your awareness back to the flickering flame in front of you.
Know that your inner light remains bright,
Steady,
And accessible whenever you need it.
Take a deep breath in and a long breath out.
Slowly begin to wiggle your fingers and toes,
Bringing movement back to your body.
When you feel the time is right,
Gently close your eyes one final time.
Offering gratitude for this moment of stillness and clarity.
When you're ready,
Open your eyes and return to your space,
Carrying the light of this meditation with you throughout your day.
