In this meditation you’ll explore the idea that difficult times can be seen as thresholds into a new life. Likewise, an inner calling to something more, even when that something is not clear, may be an invitation, an inner urge to discover more of your potential. What feels potent, but without form, may be experienced as “a call from the soul” into a life that you came here to live. This meditation begins with a poem to set the stage, then you’ll be guided through a relaxation that centers you in your chakras, and finally an invitation to explore the idea of taking a step toward something new as opening the door to a world of possibilities.
Music by Chris Collins accompanies this guided meditation.

What does it feel like to be both an open field of energy that receives and releases, while being a solid body that is grounded on the Earth? We explore practicing these states in this guided meditation. There are benefits to both feeling solid and feeling ethereal. We can flow more easily when we feel a sense of openness. We can become truly present when we acknowledge our sense of being in the moment and connected and of the Earth. To be able to flow with life around you and to be present to your life in each moment helps you access your ultimate power.
Music by Chris Collins accompanies this guided meditation.
