The Angel Within (Guided Meditation)

Begin by getting into whatever position feels best, but ideally for this practice, lying down if you can. Hitting pause if you need to and coming back when you're ready. Eyes softly closed, then awareness gathering into your breath as you take a few rich, deep sips of air at your own pace. Feeling yourself settle into both your body and your breath in this moment, allowing muscles in your forehead, face, and jaw to go slack. And when you're ready to stop taking rich, deep sips of air, just let the breath return to whatever pace of breathing feels most natural, moment by moment and breath by breath. Then you begin to become aware of the space where angel wings would grow from if you had them physically, and you may feel an energetic stretching taking place here, as you begin to perceive wings expanding out from your shoulder blades and stretching out as wide as the universe itself. As you simply relax and allow, you feel the weight of gravity taking over your body as you sort of melt into your own angelic presence, recognizing that right here in this moment, you literally have nothing to do or prove. Your only role is to just be and melt into your own angelic presence. You have been such a loving, beautiful ray of light in this world, a brilliant gift that has been giving and giving. You deserve to receive the love you have given and you know it's time it's just a part of nature that you relax into the comfort of yourself and feel yourself being held by you. You watch as these angel wings that have expanded across the universe begin to transform into white light that transforms all of reality right now into a brilliant white light. In this moment there is nothing else except for this loving angelic presence of energy that simply is and always was. Let yourself breathe easily and naturally here in this space, just being present in the white light, allowing the breath to flow freely, allowing yourself to relax. And if your mind wishes to wander or get caught up in something, that's okay, you can let it. But if you feel like coming back, bring your awareness to the white light and your breath. I will leave you with some space here to just be in your own You are a brilliant and beautiful ray of light in your reality. In the spaces you occupy and show up, your presence is a gift and it can be felt by all others around you. In this moment, all that matters is that you can honor your light and in doing so you honor all of your shadows too. All these parts of you and all that is contained within your own presence, within your own brilliant light, affirming to yourself, I am safe in my own presence and I'm grateful to get to exist. On your next breath in, let it be extra long and deep, holding it at the top and when you're ready, exhale with a powerful sigh. As your breath returns to whatever pace feels best, really take your time coming back to this physical time and space, tuning in to the points of contact between you and the surface beneath you, perhaps feeling the weight of your clothing, stretching your body very slowly as it calls you and blinking those miraculous eyes of yours back open, moving at your own pace and carrying this feeling forward with you as you go about the rest of your day. Thank you, dear one.
