Hello and welcome.
My name is Crystal and I will be your guide for the next five minutes.
Let's begin by finding a comfortable position,
Either sitting or lying down,
Keeping the spine long from tailbone up your back,
Up the neck,
To the crown of your head.
When this meditation is over,
You will hear a bell.
So feel free to close your eyes,
Relax into your body,
Relaxing the muscles in the face,
Shoulders,
Arms,
Hips and legs.
Take a deep breath in,
Slowly filling your lungs with air,
Exhaling slowly,
Gently,
And releasing any leftover tension you might be feeling.
Let's take two more deep breaths just like this,
Breathing in stillness and breathing out tension.
With each breath,
Feel yourself becoming more relaxed,
More present.
Now I want you to imagine a light above your head,
Radiating warmth and confidence.
With each breath,
This light slowly begins to descend upon you,
Wrapping you in a glow of potential and peace.
As you bask in this light,
I invite you to envision yourself stepping into a leadership role.
This might be a role you are already considering,
Or perhaps one you've not yet allowed yourself to imagine.
See yourself clearly in this role.
Who are you leading?
Picture the faces of those looking to you for guidance,
Support,
And inspiration.
Now think about what you are leading.
Is it a project,
A team,
A movement?
Visualize the purpose of your leadership.
What are you all working towards?
Reflect on how your leadership is making a positive impact.
See the changes,
The growth,
And the successes that come from your guidance.
Feel the gratitude from those you are leading,
And sense the collective progress being made.
Now take a moment to acknowledge the unique qualities you bring to this role.
Your compassion,
Your drive,
Your vision.
Understand that these qualities are what make you a leader,
More than any title or position ever could.
As you continue to breathe deeply,
Let these visualizations and feelings ground in your heart and mind.
Start to bring your attention back to the present,
And when you're ready,
Gently open your eyes.
Take a deep,
Grounding breath in,
And as you exhale,
Carry the sense of leadership with you into the world.
You are capable of making a positive impact,
In ways both big and small.
