Ready to visualize and connect with the Hope waiting for you to harvest? I’ve included a simple meditation to get you started. Enjoy!
Hope as a Flame Meditation
Take a deep breath in, and exhale slowly, closing your eyes, and allowing any tension to release from your body. Focus your awareness on your breath, in and out, slow and steady.
As you breathe, begin to identify the worries and fears holding you back, taking note of them without judgment. Then disconnect from them, letting them go, and turning your attention to hope.
Imagine the spark of hope within you, like a tiny flame flickering within, gently fanning it into a full-blown blaze. Visualize this light expanding, growing stronger, bolder as it expands outward.
Think of hope as a source of energy, pushing you forward towards your goals. Hold onto the image of hope, feeling warmth and energy emanating from it, filling you up, and warming your core.
Recall moments in your life when hope fueled you to move forward despite adversity. Dig deep into those moments to generate inspiration, courage, and commitment to your aspirations. See hope as an unquenchable fire that will never go out, no matter how challenging the circumstances may appear.
Allow your breathing to return to its natural pace and take a moment to focus on the thoughts and emotions that have surfaced during the meditation. Alleviate any negative thoughts or emotions by visualizing hope strengthening from within, pulling in the positive energy surrounding you, and creating a veil of hope to overcome difficulty and forge ahead in life.
Whenever doubt, pessimism, or anxiety creeps in, return to this image of hope, keeping it at the front of your mind as a guidepost to rise above the challenges. Then reconnect with the spark within as you continue to move forward to achieve your dreams.
Take one more deep breath in, and as you exhale, open your eyes and feel the sense of clarity and hope as you emerge from this meditation, ready to tackle the journey ahead with a renewed sense of optimism and motivation.
