Welcome,
Beautiful soul,
To this guided meditation,
An opportunity to contemplate new beginnings and set intentions for practical and attainable long-term goals,
Whilst considering your true nature,
Your true self.
Find a comfortable position and focus on your breath.
The music will lower for a short while to allow you to become fully conscious of your energy,
Your essence,
Your true,
Unlimited self.
Welcome feelings of serenity and peace.
Visualise any tension and anxieties easing away on each exhale.
Earth,
Our mother,
Enfolds you in her nurturing embrace.
Until the gong,
Visualise sinking your roots into the earth,
Drawing strength from her grounding energy.
Anchor yourself in the present moment.
Visualise the harmony of cooperation and just as the trees in a forest support one another,
Recognise the strength that comes from collective unity.
There is the opportunity with this fresh start to lay the groundwork for your aspirations,
Building a foundation that stands resilient over the passing days,
Weeks and months.
Recognising that boundaries and rules can offer freedom,
Being discerning in appreciation of reasonable boundaries and rules is liberating,
Bringing you freedom from the limitations of worry and chaos.
This journey of life has peaks and troughs and in the constant changing of highs and lows it is easy for our true selves to be pushed to the background as we identify with our body,
Mind and our environments.
Until the gong,
Meditate on the following.
You are a manifestation of the divine.
Clay can be moulded into many different forms,
Yet the clay is not attached to its form.
Even if the clay form,
For example a pot is broken,
The clay remains.
No matter what happens in this lifetime,
No matter how many times you perceive yourself broken,
Your true nature,
Your true self is unaffected,
Undisturbed and unchanged.
You are whole,
Complete,
Unlimited and eternal.
Focus on your breath for a few cycles.
Until the gong there is an opportunity to turn your focus to setting practical intentions to attain your long term goals.
Ambitions that resonate with your physical self and true self.
Seek wisdom in the stillness.
Create routines and structures that provide a stable foundation for your aspirations to bloom.
Being creative and innovative in finding solutions and pathways.
Until the gong,
Contemplate the practicalities of achieving your ambitions.
Channeling your inner strength to be tenacious,
Committed and dedicated to fulfilling your intentions.
Find steadiness within.
Recognize the constancy of your spirit,
A guiding light through the ebb and flow of life.
Until the gong,
Contemplate how you are maturing on your life journey.
The richness of your experiences and the wisdom you've gained.
Acknowledge and celebrate the steps that you have taken and the growth you've attained.
With this fresh new beginning there's an opportunity to let go of identification with mind and body.
To shift your perspective to the truth of yourself.
To bring that beautiful consciousness that already exists within to your outer world.
Until the gong,
Let go.
Detach from what is no longer serving you on your journey and in the small gap between your breaths,
Let your true self be revealed.
With each breath feel your inner divinity.
Until the gong,
Feel the peace,
Love and pure contentment that is you.
Simply be.
I invite you now to spend some time in gratitude.
You are unchanging,
Constant,
Completely unaffected by events in the physical realm.
The body and mind is temporary but you are whole,
Complete,
Unlimited and eternal.
In your own time bring awareness to your surroundings and gently open your eyes ready to embrace this fresh new beginning.
Please join with me in one Aum and three Shanties.
Aum,
Shanty,
Shanty,
Shanty.
As always my love and appreciation flow to you.
Namaste.
