One thing that is often missing from people’s lives is a deep connection to self. The core of who you are, the light of love that you were born with and is continuously nudging you to be all that you can be is your Essence.
Now, you have an opportunity to allow your Essence to rise up and show you how good it feels to be free of stress, at least for a little while.
One of the most important things you can do for yourself is to find time for what I’ll call, your Solo Time.
Solo Time is when you intentionally quiet all your outer pursuits and allow your inner process to unfold.
This can be:
- Active: walking, dancing, running, swimming, singing, yoga, playing a musical instrument, etc.
- Creative: writing, painting, drawing, weaving, pottery, gardening, etc.
- Still: prayer, contemplation, self-hypnosis, guided visualization, meditation, or a combination.
Any Solo Time you allow yourself will feed your soul and help you stay connected to your essence.
But when you do the guided visualization, it is important that you find a Safe Container in which to do them. That is any place where you feel safe to be yourself, where you will be uninterrupted by with no distractions, no cell phone, or children knocking on the door. Just you and a willingness to explore who you really are.
So find your Safe Container, then ideally, set a time each week, or each day, when you will gift yourself your much needed Solo Time.
Now it’s time to enjoy your first guided visualization. You can listen on your computer, or download to your MP3 player or iPod.
