Intentional Motherhood: From Barely Surviving to Thriving Mentally, Emotionally, Abundantly

Kelsey Redd: 00:02

Welcome to Intentional Motherhood Meditations with Kelsey. Today's meditation will be a visualization that allows you to both find a calm, peaceful place while you open your mind to what possibilities lie in your future. If you aren't able to meditate right now, don't forget to find the mantras in the show notes below and use those on your own time. Let's get started. Begin by closing your eyes and taking a few long deep breaths.

For this next breath, let's take the deepest breath yet and hold it at the top for a couple seconds. Then exhale, sigh it out. Let's do that two more times together. Inhale. Hold it at the top.

Exhale, sigh it out. One more inhale. Hold. Exhale, sigh it out. Let your breath return to a natural rhythm.

Start to visualize a bright light up ahead of you somewhere out in your vision. We're using our third eye as if you're looking off into the horizon, but your eyes are closed and you see this bright light almost like the sunrise or the sunset just coming over the horizon. And let that light grow and expand until it starts to expand across the entire sky. Your entire visual field is filled with white light. And in this white light, you feel peace.

You feel love. It's quiet and it's also full of possibilities. You may start to see visions flash into your mind, scenes or pictures of something that looks joyful. Something that you're yearning for. Something that would satisfy your soul.

Kelsey Redd: 03:50

Let these pictures or scenes come to your mind. Don't go looking for them. Don't strive for them. Just let them come as they may. As one scene comes, notice how you feel and then let the scene go and another scene or vision will come to your mind.

Kelsey Redd: 04:42

Notice the feelings that you get with each new scene that comes to your mind's eye. Take note of similar themes or aspects that may repeat in multiple visions or scenes or pictures. Spend as long as you would like allowing these pictures to come and go from your mind. Feel free to press pause to continue or continue on with the meditation. Notice the white light starting to recede back beneath horizon slowly like the sunset.

As the brightness of the white light contracts, the world comes back into view. And yet somehow the world feels different because you know that you have a vision beyond what the current reality is that you see. You know at any time you can close your eyes, watch for the bright white light and see what your future might look like. You can see what your heart yearns for. You can bring to mind beautiful scenes that bring you peace and joy.

But as we wrap up this meditation, allow your awareness to come back into the room or space you're in. Allow your awareness to come back to your body. Blink your eyes open and come back to reality. I encourage you to find a notebook or a journal and take some notes about the visions that came to you as you used your third eye to envision your future. Maybe write down some of the emotions that you felt or common themes like more time with family or time in nature so that you are able to clearly see and understand what you're yearning for in your life.

Repeat this meditation as often as you'd like to continue seeing what it is that you envision for your future. I appreciate you joining me on Intentional Motherhood today.
