4:00

meditation for connecting to

4:03

your intuition. You

4:06

can do this practice either seated

4:08

or lying down and

4:11

with your eyes open or closed

4:14

whichever is most comfortable for you.

4:19

So let's take a few

4:22

deep breaths letting

4:24

the body settle and relax.

4:29

With each exhale feeling

4:33

any tension or stress

4:35

just melting away and

4:39

with each inhale feel

4:41

a sense of presence

4:43

and clarity arising. And

5:07

as we begin this journey, just

5:10

know that your intuition is

5:12

always available to you, a

5:15

gentle whisper of wisdom that's

5:18

arising in each moment. By

5:22

creating the space to listen

5:24

deeply, we allow

5:26

this inner guidance to surface

5:29

and inform our path. So

5:36

bring your attention to your breath, noticing

5:40

the gentle rise and fall

5:42

of the chest. Feel

5:48

the air moving in and

5:50

out of the nostrils. Cool

5:54

on the inhale and

5:57

warmer on the exhale. Just

6:02

allowing the breath to

6:05

be a gentle anchor, guiding

6:07

you into the present moment.

6:27

And as you breathe, silently

6:29

repeat the phrase, I

6:32

am here now, with

6:35

each inhale and

6:37

exhale. And

6:41

if the mind wanders to thoughts

6:43

of the past or future, gently

6:46

bring your attention back

6:48

to the breath and

6:51

this present moment anchor. Bring

6:55

the body, rooting down into

6:57

the earth, stable

7:01

and supported. Now

7:22

let's bring our attention to

7:25

the body, starting

7:27

with the feet, noticing

7:30

any sensations present in

7:32

the feet. Perhaps

7:36

you feel a tingling, warmth

7:41

or a connection to the ground

7:43

beneath you. Take

7:47

a moment to be fully

7:49

present with your feet. Slowly

8:11

scan your awareness up

8:13

your legs into

8:16

the hips and pelvis, feeling

8:20

the weight of your body

8:22

resting on the surface below.

8:28

See if you notice any

8:30

areas of tension or holding,

8:33

and imagine your breath

8:35

gently flowing into these

8:38

spaces, inviting them

8:40

to soften and release.

9:00

Continue scanning up through the

9:03

belly and chest, observing

9:06

the gentle rise and fall

9:08

with each breath. Feel

9:13

into the heart space, noticing

9:15

any emotions or sensations

9:17

that are present. Take

9:23

this moment to offer yourself

9:26

compassion and kindness, simply

9:30

acknowledging whatever is here.

9:49

Now scan up through the

9:51

shoulders, neck and

9:54

throat, inviting

9:57

any tension to

9:59

simply melt away with

10:02

each exhale. Bring

10:07

attention to the face, feeling

10:10

the jaw soften, the

10:13

brow smooth, the

10:17

eyes resting gently in

10:19

their sockets. And

10:39

finally bring your attention to the

10:41

crown of the head, feeling

10:44

a sense of openness and

10:47

receptivity. Imagine

10:50

a gentle stream of light

10:53

flowing in through the crown of your

10:55

head, feeling your

10:57

entire body with a

11:00

warm radiant glow. As

11:21

you complete this body scan, tune

11:24

into the overall felt sense

11:26

of the body in this

11:29

moment. See

11:31

if you can notice any

11:33

subtle sensations, emotions

11:36

or intuitive hints

11:39

arising. Just

11:42

acknowledging them with

11:44

curiosity and openness.

12:03

Now, bring to mind a question

12:06

or issue you'd

12:08

like to receive intuitive guidance

12:11

on. It

12:13

could be a decision you're

12:15

facing, a challenge

12:17

you're working through, or

12:20

a general area of your life where

12:23

you'd like more clarity. Take

12:27

a moment to silently state your

12:30

intention to receive

12:32

intuitive guidance. Now

12:49

imagine yourself in a

12:51

beautiful, tranquil, natural

12:53

setting. Perhaps

12:56

a lush forest, a

12:59

serene beach, or

13:01

a peaceful mountain meadow. Visualize

13:06

the details of your

13:08

surroundings, the

13:10

colors, textures,

13:13

sounds and smells. Allow

13:18

yourself to fully arrive in

13:20

this space. As

13:52

you explore this inner landscape,

13:55

Imagine a wise, loving

13:58

presence approaching you. This.

14:02

Being embodies your

14:04

deepest intuitive wisdom.

14:08

Notice how they appear to you.

14:12

Their facial features,

14:14

clothing and energy.

14:19

Feel a sense of safety

14:21

and trust in their presence.

14:32

or share your issue. Silently

14:38

14:40

heart. Allow

14:43

yourself to receive their

14:45

response. It

14:49

may come as words,

14:52

images, sensations, or it

14:54

may come as a

14:57

deep inner knowing. Trust

15:01

whatever arises, knowing it

15:03

is the perfect message

15:05

for you in this

15:08

moment. Now

15:38

allow yourself to

15:40

dialogue with this

15:42

wise guide, asking

15:44

any clarifying questions

15:46

and receiving their

15:48

intuitive guidance. Feel

15:51

their words and energy

15:54

landing in your heart,

15:56

offering clarity, direction and

15:59

some. report. Now

17:00

when you feel complete, thank

17:03

your wise guide for their presence

and insights, knowing

17:09

17:11

17:14

17:17

wise self is always

17:20

here, ready to

17:22

offer clarity and wisdom.

17:33

Now take a few deep

17:35

breaths and begin

17:37

to bring your attention back to

17:39

the body. Feeling

17:44

the feet on the floor, the

17:48

hands resting, and

17:50

the gentle rhythm of the breath. Silently

17:58

repeat to yourself. I

18:02

trust my intuition. I

18:09

am open to the wisdom

18:11

and guidance that arise in

18:14

each moment. I

18:23

navigate my life with

18:26

presence, clarity, and

18:46
