Welcome to a meditation for a full and meaningful life.
And although there are many life circumstances and situations beyond our control,
Our intentions,
Our desires,
And our own sense of meaning and fulfillment can be catalytic drivers to create or co-create our life experience.
And although we each live as an individual,
We are part of a larger system.
We each have a role to play and the uniqueness of our own authentic self is the gift we bring or the role we play or the work that we do to participate in this larger system.
And coming to clarify and align ourself with our own life purpose is the path to the joy and fulfillment that most of us really seek.
And if I'm an apple,
But I'm trying to be an orange,
I will never feel satisfied with myself.
But discovering my own apple nature and being the best apple that I can be aligns me with the great tree of life and can bring peace and satisfaction,
Adventure,
And creativity beyond what I might currently imagine for myself.
And in the work of spiritual psychology,
We move in the transpersonal realms that have only our highest good in mind,
Where wisdom,
Guidance,
And power are available to us beyond our rational understanding.
And in the transpersonal realms,
All time is present time.
And in this meditation or inner journey,
We will travel outside the realms of historic and psychological time into the future to the circumstance of our own death at the end of our optimal life.
And here we will discover perhaps what is most important to us,
What are our deepest dreams,
Our heart's desires,
The wishes of our wishes,
And gain perhaps some insight,
Direction,
And inspiration to live that optimal life.
For a well-lived life leads to a good death.
And in many traditions,
It is understood that the moment of our death is perhaps the pinnacle of our life experience and that the quality of our death and our assessment of our own participation in our life may have grand implications for what happens in the afterlife or in future incarnations.
So take a few moments to get settled.
Feel free to sit or lie down.
Shut off anything that makes noise and prepare for our meditation for a full and meaningful life.
Perhaps take a few long,
Slow in-breaths just to come present and perhaps noticing any tightness or tension in your body.
Breathing slowly and deeply into any tightness or tension and releasing it on your out-breath.
Letting each breath bring you a little deeper into your own inner world.
And if you have any practices for grounding or making spiritual connection,
Feel free to include those now.
We'll take a moment perhaps to give the conscious mind permission to take a well-deserved rest.
That will be open and curious,
Remembering everything fully,
But we're going to open our inner senses of sight and sound,
Taste,
Touch,
Smell,
Instinct,
And intuition,
Just allowing those all to open quite widely.
And I wonder if you can sense or feel or imagine the scene of your own deathbed.
The scene of your own deathbed.
Notice the room.
Is it in a home or a hospital?
What's the quality of the light?
Who's present?
Are there any pets or other creatures nearby?
And perhaps you can sense or feel or imagine approaching the bed and the person lying there is you at the end of your best-lived life.
They're peaceful.
They're satisfied.
There's a sense of completeness,
Acceptance,
Wisdom,
And surrender as they prepare to pass into the next place.
There's a sparkle in their eye as they recognize you,
And they're so glad that you have come.
And they have the strength and the desire to share with you what they know,
What they have experienced that has brought them to this place.
What they have experienced that has brought them to this sense of meaning and fulfillment in their life.
And you take their hand.
Notice its temperature,
And they squeeze yours.
And it may come in words or telepathy or intuition as they transmit to you what has brought them the joy,
Meaning,
And fulfillment that pours from their being right now.
And what do they want to share with you about what is truly important?
What are the risks they encourage you to take?
What are the dreams they know can be realized?
What are the things,
Relationships,
Creations,
Adventures,
Or accomplishments that have been most meaningful and fulfilling for this wise and compassionate aspect of your own authentic self?
They are fearless,
Unattached,
Filled with light and love,
Courage and understanding.
And they very simply and practically share what is most important for your own meaning and fulfillment in this lifetime.
They know you completely,
Your gifts and your limitations,
And they may challenge and encourage you as no one else can.
For this is an aspect of your own highest self.
And a warm and gentle light enters the room,
And the light grows as the veil between the worlds thins.
There may be awareness of ancestors,
Angels,
Wise,
Mythic,
Religious beings come to a stop.
Escort this old wise being home.
Notice if there's anything else they want to do or communicate,
Teach or transmit to you.
And I wonder if you can sense or feel or imagine that they pour their energy into you.
Their wisdom,
Knowledge,
Courage,
Presence,
Love,
And compassion pours all the way down to the soles of your feet and out to the tips of your fingers and up to the crown of your head,
Filling,
Integrating,
Infusing you with all that you need to follow your own unique path to a full and meaningful life.
And know that they are always available to you as a source and a resource for wisdom,
Guidance,
Encouragement in any and all aspects of your life.
And notice if there's anything else that wants to be done or communicated between you.
And taking all the time that you need.
And when you're ready,
You might say thank you.
And bring all of this back with you,
Remembering everything fully into your body,
Your mind,
Your emotions and energy system.
Connected to your own inner wisdom more deeply than ever before.
Blessings on your path.
Until we meet again.
