Coming Back to Center
A guided visualization
Episode 23:
This guided visualization is a great way to recenter before starting something new, doing something big, or even throughout the day. We'll go far and wide and then bring it all back to the moment. You'll leave feeling more grounded, connected to your power, and ready to begin again.
How has 2023 been for you so far? I just realized that today is the Lunar new year and the timing couldn't be more perfect for this new podcast episode.
I don't know about you, but I always feel a little thrown off with the timing of the traditional January 1st New Year's because here in Ohio we're in winter which is when I'm metaphorically in my creative cave and getting cozy in the holy darkness - not necessarily starting new things.
If you also find yourself on your own schedule, following your rhythm, and honoring the natural cycles around you then this episode is for you!
You can use this visualization as a way to recenter before starting something new, doing something big, or throughout the day.
This episode was inspired by a symbol that I keep going back to over and over as reminder to stay in the moment. It's all about the power of presence.
The episode art is a drawing that my daughter made of my symbol before I had ever drawn it - let alone shown anyone. I'm always in awe of when these things happen and it reminds me just how much of a ripple effect our intentions create in our lives and the lives of our loved ones.
It also feels poetic that today is the Lunar New Year because I'm more and more connected to the phases of the moon than the calendar these days. I could not have planned that better.
Recording this new episode has felt like seeing a little seedling breaking open in the Earth and that's the kind of new beginning I'm celebrating today.
What about you? Is there an "invisible" beginning that you're sensing in your life? The kind that you've been sitting with, but haven't quite brought forward yet? I'd love to hear what is coming up for you.
Cheers to the quiet new beginnings and the magic they hold!
