Hey there , happy new year . I just wanted to do a guided meditation with you . If you're willing to play , I think it might help as we get moving into our new year . You know there are a lot of preconceived notions about what the year will bring . Should bring , has to bring , and I want you just to take a moment , just to slow down a little bit and remember that you're already enough . You're already exactly where you need to be . I believe that life is a wide , open stage just waiting to be set right . Whatever stories you want to create and whatever roles you want to play are up to you . You are the designer . You've got everything you need . Just dream .
Speaker 1I want you just to close your eyes for a moment and imagine yourself sitting in that theater . Imagine yourself settling into that beautiful middle orchestra center seat , looking at the empty stage . Or maybe , if you want to assume back a bit , maybe you're sitting in the balcony . Wherever you are , just imagine yourself there and take a deep breath in and , as you exhale , imagine yourself sinking more comfortably into the seat . Notice whether your arms are propped on the edges of the seat or maybe they're on your lap . Maybe your arms are crossed , maybe they're wrapped around the seat next to you . Maybe they're wide open . Maybe you're leaning back , perhaps you're leaning in , eager to see what is going to unfold on that stage , again , with your eyes still closed .
Speaker 1I want you to imagine , build it , design it . It can be whatever you want it to be and if there's something that you want to change , change it , just like we changed the lights or the light cues or the spike marks on the stage . Maybe what you're thinking of is something that you want to star in . Maybe it's about coming out . Maybe it's about stepping into the spotlight yourself . Or it could be that you've been in the spotlight for a long time and maybe you'd rather just stay sitting and directing and producing from the other side of the proscenium . Perhaps you really like to be organized and in control . Maybe you want to be more of a stage manager in this production . And keep in mind , you don't have just one production Right , you can create as many things as you want as many scenes , as many scripts , as many rewrites , as many characters , as many costumes , to try on . Whatever you want . It's limitless .
Speaker 1Again , taking a deep breath in , I want you to imagine that house lights are going to have , that the lights are dimming and there's a hush , and suddenly you can hear everything . You can hear your heart beating . You can feel your blood forcing through your beautiful veins . Maybe you feel the temperature of the air coming in through your nose and out through your mouth . Maybe you want to just circle , circle your head or even move your arms , eyes open or close .
Speaker 1There's no right way to do this , there's no right way , and when there's no right way , there's no wrong way . It's all about the beautiful place where there's space . It's for you to create whatever you want to put out in this world , whether you're an artist , professionally , or simply working to be the artist of your life . You've got this and you know what the cool thing is . The cool thing is all we have to do is stop for a moment and recognize what truly is and , from that place , decide who we want to be .
If your eyes are still closed , I invite you to open them . You don't have to , and this is my open invitation to you to give yourself permission to open up and access all that you can be in this world . I'm going to count backwards from five , four , three , two and one . Open your eyes , let's do this . We get to do this . You guys , come on , I got you . You know where to find me , you know where to follow me . Reach out , respond , engage . Don't sit on the sidelines , get into it , let's go . So much love , so much light . I'm grateful for you guys . Take care .
