This meditation can be read and imagined, recorded for future use, as well as having it read to you. Find a comfortable place. Relax and allow yourself to be guided. You may want to listen to gentle music.
Close your eyes. Picture yourself leaving your home. You move into your garden, enjoying the sunshine, smelling the floral fragrances, delighting in the beauty of the landscape. You have often sat down on the small bench along the side, feeling the energy of this place and rejuvenating. But today you are interested more in finding a forest path that will take you off by yourself. You want to connect with your Higher Self, or your soul, because you are searching for more in your life and you seek guidance. You remember a small path that will lead you far into the thickest part of the wood. Surely, you will be alone to think deeply about this.
As you walk along, you begin to hear voices ahead. You find yourself getting tired from the walking, so you sit down to rest on some soft moss, listening for the voices, wondering where they come from. You want to stay hidden, so you tuck yourself under a small bush, lying there with anticipation, but before long, you drift into sleep. In your dream state, a ball of white light descends upon you, engulfing you in a beautiful shimmering light.
“You have come to explore with me?” a gentle voice within the light asks. “What is it you want to know?”
You do not feel fear, so you ask for help in knowing and understanding who you are and what your lifetime purpose may be.
You begin to float with the white light along the path, soon coming to a small village. There you see many spheres of light, all working in some way. You are drawn to this area. As you move about, your Higher Self instructs you to feel the energy of each light, going to the one that attracts you the strongest. This light enters your energy field and becomes part of you. You begin to understand what is important to you and how you can bring your energies out into the world for the greatest good. It seems instantaneous, but also a very deliberate examination of your strengths. You feel excited and amazed at how easy this knowledge seemed to flow, and you thank your Higher Self for the guidance you have received.
Within a short period of time, you awaken, remembering the white light, the energy, and how clear you are now about the path you should follow in your life. You know it will be for your own greatest good, as well as for many others. As you retrace your steps through the woods, your thoughts whirl in your head because you know there are many ways you can fulfill your life purpose. It is an exciting time for you and as you approach your home, you are eager to begin your journey. You thank your Higher Self for the guidance you have received, knowing you can return to the white light whenever you are in need.
Slowly bring yourself back to consciousness. When you are ready, breathe deeply several times and open your eyes.
