Hello my beautiful soul and welcome to this guided meditation of release,
Unbecoming and rebirth.
This journey is ideal if you're moving through change,
Shedding an old identity or standing at the threshold of a new chapter in your life.
Allow yourself to move slowly and gently.
This is a safe space to let go of what ascended and reconnect with what is ready to emerge.
Let's begin.
Find a comfortable position for this meditation.
You may sit on a chair,
On the floor or in a lotus position.
If you feel confident you won't fall asleep,
You may also lie down,
Just make sure you remain awake and present.
Allow yourself to get comfortable now.
Gently close your eyes,
Let your arms rest in a receiving position,
Palms facing upwards,
Hands resting on your thighs,
Your lap or beside your body if you're laying down.
Begin to come into your centre,
Take a deep breath in and exhale slowly.
And let it out.
One more breath in and exhale,
Releasing any tension.
Now bring your attention to the space behind your eyes and between your ears,
The centre of your mind.
This is your inner room.
If visualising doesn't come easily,
It's okay,
You can sense it.
This space,
Feel it,
Know it.
From this inner room,
Begin to drop your awareness down into your heart space.
With each breath,
Feel the centre of your heart warming.
Your life force,
Your soul energy beginning to glow.
Take a moment to connect.
Now from within your heart space,
Sense a long stone staircase appearing in front of you.
It leads downward into darkness.
This staircase is completely safe.
Now go ahead and begin to descend,
One step at a time.
With every step down,
Feel yourself shedding layers,
Old roles,
Old identities,
Old skins.
You become lighter with each step.
Continue descending,
Slowly,
Until you arrive in an underground chamber.
This is the underworld of your psyche,
The subconscious realm within you,
A sacred inner chamber.
Look around this space.
What do you notice?
As you look around,
In one corner,
Notice a dark mirror.
Wherever it appears for you is perfect.
Wherever you see it.
Now go ahead and move toward the mirror and stand before it.
If you cannot see clearly,
Simply sense it.
Feel yourself standing there.
Now as you look into the mirror,
Allow your old identity to appear.
Come face to face with who you have been.
Acknowledge this version of yourself without fear.
If discomfort arises,
Notice where it lives in your body and bring your breath there.
Unclench your jaw,
Relax your shoulders and breathe.
There is nothing wrong here.
Now observe as this old identity begins to dissolve in the mirror.
It may turn to smoke,
To ash,
To light.
Notice how easily it releases,
Without force,
Without drama.
It has completed its role.
This is not destruction.
This is liberation.
As the mirror empties,
Take a deep breath in and exhale,
Let it go.
You may feel vulnerable now,
Exposed,
In between.
There's no identity yet and that's okay.
You're safe in your own underworld.
Now sense the space around you shift.
A soft,
Warm darkness begins to wrap around your body.
It doesn't trap you,
It supports you.
This is a cocoon,
A sacred chamber between death and rebirth.
Here is where the old dissolves and the new begins to form.
Allow yourself to be wrapped.
Inside this cocoon,
Your body becomes weightless.
Your edges soften,
Your old identity liquefies.
Let yourself melt.
Let yourself unbecome.
You're not losing yourself.
You're returning to your essence.
Take some time to rest here,
In the stillness,
In the suspension,
In the sacred in between.
You are supported.
You are protected.
Now,
Very gently,
Something begins to glow within the cocoon.
A soft light pulses at the rhythm of your heartbeat.
This is the light of your new identity,
Not chosen by the mind,
But arising from the soul.
Feel the qualities forming within you.
Softness,
Strength,
Calm,
Sensuality.
Whatever wants to emerge.
The light gathers,
Taking shape.
Renewed,
Refined,
Reborn.
Your cells organize.
Your energy realigns.
You are reforming.
As this happens,
Feel the cocoon growing thinner.
You have outgrown it.
Take a deep breath in.
And as you exhale,
Gently press outward with your new energy.
Feel the cocoon crack.
Breathe again.
Inhale.
Exhale.
And with another exhale,
Push slowly,
Intentionally,
Powerfully.
The cocoon splits open.
Rise from it.
Feel yourself rising.
Pause here.
And feel your new form.
Perhaps you're floating.
Now look over your shoulders.
See wings unfurling from your back.
At first,
They may feel fragile.
Then they expand.
Strong.
Wide.
Beautiful.
These wings are your truth.
Your power.
Your becoming.
Stretch them out.
Open.
Fully.
Feel the air move across them.
Feel their strength.
You're radiant.
When you're ready,
Lift yourself up and rise into the light of your new self.
You're reborn.
Now begin to walk back up the same staircase you descended,
But you are changed.
Each step feels lighter,
Clearer,
More aligned.
You rise from the underworld,
Carrying your new identity with you.
With each step,
Return to the chamber of your heart.
Place one hand over your heart.
Feel your new energy setting into your body.
Feel the wings.
The light.
The expansion.
And softly,
Say with me,
I honor what has died.
I trust what is emerging.
I rise as my true self.
Again,
I honor what has died.
I trust what is emerging.
I rise as my truest self.
Take a deep breath in.
And exhale slowly.
Begin to stretch gently.
Wiggle your fingers and your toes.
And when you're ready,
Open your eyes.
Thank you for taking this time for yourself.
I wish you a beautiful rest of your day.
