This meditation is intended to be experienced in a quiet,
Comfortable space where you can fully relax and be undisturbed.
Please use it when you can safely close your eyes,
Let go,
And go within.
Begin by bringing yourself to a comfortable seated upright position,
Your back is straight,
Hands gently resting on your lap,
Eyes closed,
All awareness on your breath and the sound of my voice.
Take a deep breath in through your nose,
Hold it gently,
And exhale slowly through the mouth,
Letting the body start to soften.
Again,
Inhale deeply,
Hold,
And release,
Let your shoulders drop,
Your jaw relax,
Your belly soften.
One more time,
Breathe in and exhale,
Feel the body settle into stillness.
Now,
Prepare to journey forward and inward,
To go beneath the surface,
To claim and know truth.
I'm going to count from seven down to one,
And with each number you'll go deeper and deeper into a state of calm awareness.
You're not falling asleep,
You're awakening on a deeper level.
Seven,
Feel the tension leaving your face,
Your forehead,
And your eyes becoming still.
Six,
Let your neck,
Your throat,
Your shoulders melt into ease.
Five,
Your arms become heavy,
The chest opens,
The heart relaxes.
Four,
Your spine is long,
But your body is soft.
You feel supported,
Safe,
And grounded.
Three,
A warm wave of peace flows down your torso,
Hips,
Legs,
All the way to your feet.
Two,
You are centered,
Aware,
Open,
And free.
Three,
One,
Deeply relaxed,
Yet totally present,
Ready to see what lies beneath the illusion.
Imagine yourself walking through a vast,
Open plain,
Under a wide and endless sky.
The air is fresh,
The earth beneath your feet is steady.
You are walking among many others,
All moving in the same direction.
You notice something.
Everyone's eyes are downcast,
Face is dull,
Voice is quiet.
They move forward,
Not from choice,
But you feel a tug inside,
A knowing.
Something in you says,
This path is not mine.
These beliefs are not mine.
This fear is not mine.
You pause.
You look around.
The crowd doesn't even notice you've stopped.
They keep walking.
They don't question.
They just follow.
Now imagine a small light in your chest,
Subtle but pulsing.
It begins to expand with each breath you take.
As you inhale,
This light grows brighter.
As you exhale,
It spreads further through your body.
This light is awareness.
It's the part of you that sees clearly,
The part of you that refuses to conform.
And then you hear a whisper from deep within.
You were not born to blend in.
You were born to see,
To choose,
To live uniquely.
You turn and begin walking in a different direction.
It's not loud.
It's not traumatic.
It's powerful.
You've made a decision to trust your light more than the noise.
The landscape changes.
You walk into a valley filled with wildflowers untouched by human footsteps.
There are no trails,
No signs,
Just open space and infinite possibility.
As you walk,
You see your own past beliefs rising like mist.
I have to be accepted.
I can't stand out.
What will people think?
Each time one appears,
Breathe your light into it and it dissolves.
You continue walking your spine,
Taller,
Your heart,
Lighter,
Your mind clear.
And now you see others also walking their own paths,
Not following you,
But walking beside you in truth.
You've left the herd,
Not in rebellion,
But in clarity.
You've remembered.
You choose your thoughts.
You shape your path.
You stand at the edge of a shimmering lake.
The surface reflects your true self.
Eyes alive,
Present,
Strong,
Unapologetically awake.
Take a moment to connect with this version of you.
Imagine,
Sense,
And feel what it's like to live this way.
Clear,
Bold,
And unshakable.
Vividly fill in the details while I am silent.
Silently repeat these affirmations.
Let each one fully land in your body,
Your mind.
I'm awake to my truth and free from subconscious control.
I trust the power within me more than the approval around me.
I walk boldly in my own direction rooted in clarity and courage.
I am not here to follow.
I'm here to consciously live wildly and freely.
Breathe that in.
Feel it in your bone.
You are not part of the herd.
You are the presence.
The awareness that remembers who you truly are.
Today live and know.
You've broken from the herd.
Not because you're better.
But because you choose truth over comfort.
A truth that the world has been waiting for.
So gently.
Start to bring your awareness back.
Your body.
To this time.
To this place.
Begin to move your fingers and toes.
And then when you're ready.
Ready to live anew.
Open your eyes.
And welcome this perfect new day.
