Spiritual Wellness Meditation

Life can become incredibly busy, and sometimes we don’t realise just how much noise we are carrying around with us until we finally stop.

Our minds are constantly processing something — work, family, relationships, responsibilities, phones, social media and everything else that demands our attention.

Taking a few minutes to become still can give us an opportunity to reconnect with ourselves.

For me, meditation isn’t about completely emptying your mind or trying to achieve some perfect spiritual state. It’s simply about giving yourself permission to slow down, become present and listen to what is happening within you.

This spiritual wellness meditation has been created to help you do exactly that.

You don’t need any previous meditation experience, and there is no right or wrong way to experience it. You may visualise everything clearly, you may simply sense or imagine it, or you may just enjoy a few peaceful moments away from everyday life.

Whatever happens is okay.

What Is Spiritual Meditation?

Spiritual meditation can mean different things to different people.

For some, it is a way of connecting with their own inner wisdom and intuition. For others, meditation may form part of their connection with Divine Source Energy, Spirit Guides, angels, ancestors or their own spiritual beliefs.

And for some people, it is simply a peaceful opportunity to become still.

I believe spirituality should always leave room for your own beliefs and experiences.

You don’t need to see anything, hear anything or receive a spiritual message for meditation to be worthwhile.

Sometimes simply becoming quiet is enough.

Why Take Time to Meditate?

One of the things I love about meditation is its simplicity.

You don’t need expensive equipment or hours of spare time.

You simply need a little space where you can slow down.

Meditation and mindfulness practices have been studied for their potential role in areas such as stress management, emotional wellbeing and relaxation. But I also think it is important not to turn meditation into something else we feel we have to succeed at.

Some days your mind may feel peaceful.

Other days your thoughts may be everywhere.

Both are completely normal.

The aim isn’t to judge your thoughts. It’s to notice when your attention has wandered and gently bring yourself back to the present moment.

Before You Begin

Find somewhere you feel comfortable and where you are unlikely to be disturbed.

You can sit in a chair, sit on the floor or lie down.

There is no special position you need to use.

Allow your hands to rest naturally and make yourself comfortable.

If closing your eyes feels right, you can gently close them. If you’d rather keep them open, simply soften your gaze.

And remember: you are always in control of the meditation.

If anything feels uncomfortable, you can change position, open your eyes or stop.

Guided Meditation for Spiritual Connection

Begin by noticing your breathing.

You don’t need to change it or force yourself to take particularly deep breaths.

Simply allow your breath to find a rhythm that feels comfortable and natural for you.

Take a comfortable breath in…

and gently let it go.

Take another comfortable breath…

and slowly release.

Allow yourself to settle.

Relaxing Your Body

Bring your awareness gently to your body.

Notice whether you are holding tension anywhere.

Perhaps your shoulders feel tight.

Maybe you’re holding tension around your neck or jaw.

You don’t need to force anything to change.

Simply notice.

As you breathe out, imagine allowing some of that tension to soften.

Let your shoulders relax.

Allow your jaw to soften.

Let your hands rest comfortably.

And give yourself permission, just for these few minutes, to simply be.

Coming Into the Present Moment

Bring your attention to what is happening around you.

Notice any sounds.

You don’t need to block them out.

Simply acknowledge that they are there.

Notice the surface beneath you supporting your body.

Notice the feeling of the air against your skin.

Then gently return your awareness to your breathing.

You are here.

Right now.

In this moment.

Visualising a Golden Light

Now imagine a beautiful warm golden light beginning to surround you.

Don’t worry if you can’t actually see it.

You may visualise it clearly, sense it, imagine it or simply think about it.

There is no correct way to do this.

Imagine this gentle golden light surrounding your body.

Soft.

Warm.

Peaceful.

With every comfortable breath, imagine the light becoming a little brighter.

Not overwhelming.

Just gentle and comforting.

Imagine the light beginning around the top of your head and slowly moving down around your face, neck and shoulders.

Allow it to move through your arms, hands and fingertips.

Imagine it continuing through your chest and stomach, down through your legs and all the way to your feet.

Your whole body is surrounded by this beautiful golden light.

Rest here for a few moments.

Connecting With Your Heart Centre

Bring your awareness towards the centre of your chest.

Imagine a tiny point of light there.

With each gentle breath, imagine that light becoming brighter.

Perhaps you notice a colour.

Perhaps you experience a feeling of warmth.

Or perhaps you don’t notice anything particular at all.

Whatever you experience is okay.

Imagine that light beginning to open like the petals of a flower.

One petal at a time.

Gently.

Naturally.

In its own time.

As the flower opens, imagine reconnecting with something that can sometimes become lost underneath the noise and expectations of everyday life.

You.

Not who somebody else expects you to be.

Not who you think you should be.

Simply you.

Spiritual Wellness Affirmations

Allow yourself to become still and quietly repeat these words in your mind:

I am here.

I am present.

I trust myself.

I give myself permission to grow at my own pace.

I am open to peace, clarity and understanding.

I am enough exactly as I am in this moment.

Take your time with each affirmation.

You don’t need to force yourself to believe anything. Simply notice how the words feel to you.

Grounding Yourself

Now imagine gentle roots extending from beneath your feet and travelling down into the earth.

Allow them to travel as deeply as feels right for you.

Imagine yourself becoming grounded.

Steady.

Supported.

You don’t have to have all the answers today.

You don’t need to understand everything.

And you certainly don’t need to know exactly where your spiritual journey is taking you.

Sometimes…

the next step is enough.

Spiritual Connection

Bring your awareness back to the beautiful golden light surrounding you.

Imagine a gentle stream of light above you, softly flowing towards you and meeting the light already within you.

If spiritual connection forms part of your beliefs, you may choose to experience this as Divine Source Energy, the loving presence of your Spirit Guides, angels, ancestors or the energy of the universe.

Or you can simply experience it as light.

You don’t need to search for a message.

You don’t need to force an experience.

Just allow yourself to become still.

Sometimes our greatest clarity comes when we stop trying so hard to find it.

If thoughts enter your mind, that’s okay.

Notice them.

Allow them to pass.

Then gently return your attention to your breathing.

Allow Yourself to Simply Be

Stay here for a little while.

There is nowhere else you need to be in this moment.

Nothing you need to prove.

Nothing you need to achieve.

Just breathe naturally and allow yourself to rest.

Sometimes we spend so much time searching for the next answer, the next sign or the next stage of our spiritual development that we forget something incredibly important:

We are allowed to simply be.

Returning to the Present Moment

When you feel ready, gently begin bringing your awareness back to your body.

Notice your breathing.

Notice the surface beneath you.

Notice the room around you.

Begin gently moving your fingers and toes.

Perhaps roll your shoulders if that feels comfortable.

Take another comfortable breath…

and gently release it.

Before opening your eyes, simply notice how you feel.

There is nothing you should be feeling.

Just notice.

Then, whenever you’re ready, gently open your eyes.

Take your time.

Your Spiritual Journey Is Your Own

Meditation doesn’t have to involve extraordinary experiences.

You don’t have to see colours, receive messages or feel something dramatic for it to have value.

Sometimes the most meaningful thing we can do is create enough quiet to hear ourselves again.

And please remember:

There is no race.

There is no deadline.

Your journey is your own.

If you’re currently experiencing changes in the way you see yourself, your beliefs or your life, my article How Long Does a Spiritual Awakening Usually Last? explores why spiritual growth doesn’t follow a fixed timetable.

And if you’d like to develop your spiritual awareness further, you can explore my Spiritual Development Courses at Age of Awakening.

Most importantly, take your time.

Stay grounded.

Be kind to yourself.

And trust yourself along the way.
