In the Darkness There is Light
You know this feeling oh so well…..the nagging at your heart to make the changes to wholeness. The many times you haven’t felt aligned with your true self and soul….the sleepless nights…..the dark can feel overwhelming….and fearful. But….in the darkness there is light.
The intention of today’s healing meditation is to find that spark within you to bring you back to a life of beauty and balance. Let’s invoke: I call forth your Spirit, spirit guides and Angels, to surround you and guide you to make the changes in your life to feel alive ... well and in harmony……..And so it is and so be it….
Let us begin……..
Close your eyes and imagine yourself in a place of deep……comforting darkness. 
Pull all of your focus inward……relax your shoulders….relax your face…..relax your body……
This darkness represents the struggles and challenges you have faced in your journey…… It's okay to acknowledge these struggles……..they are part of your unique story……..PAUSE
We are taught to dismiss our uncomfortable emotions…..but for healing to occur you have to feel them…….in this moment…..feel them…feel all of them…..
LONG PAUSE
At this moment…how are you feeling……it may feel uncomfortable…..keep breathing…
Begin finding a breath pattern……breathe in through the nose…..and a long outward breath through the mouth…..short inward breath…..long breath……do this a few more times ... .as if you're blowing up a balloon……..PAUSE
Now begin breathing like you naturally would……easy… and quiet……

Notice where the breath moves through the body…….LONG PAUSE
Now let your awareness rest…….feel your body and the contact with the floor or the chair you're on…….. Picture yourself in the room you're in…..PAUSE
Now…….picture a small……flickering light in the distance…….
 This light represents the potential for transformation and healing that exists within you……..
 As you breathe in…….imagine drawing that light closer to you…… allowing it to illuminate the shadows within……PAUSE
As we embark on this journey together……… Let's explore the themes of struggle and the desire for authenticity……..
PAUSE
Think about times when you felt the weight of not being authentic…….when you wore masks to fit in or meet expectations……..do this without judgment…..be the witness……
Acknowledge these moments with compassion………for they have shaped your path……..your life and life experiences…….PAUSE
Thank those moments…….this is why you are here………PAUSE
Now……..envision yourself shedding those masks……..releasing the need to conform…….and stepping into the brilliance of your true self…..
LONG PAUSE
I see your challenges of addiction………..whether to alcohol or other habits that no longer serve you………Picture these challenges as heavy burdens that you have carried for way too long…... set them down……
 With each breath………. imagine yourself letting go……….. allowing the weight to lift and dissipate into the darkness……….
Begin to feel your body getting lighter and lighter………PAUSE
You have strength…..love ….and support…….. in this moment……you are not alone….
Stay gentle with your soul…….and take it easy……..
In the darkness there is an opportunity for rebirth………Envision a version of yourself free from the chains of addiction……… radiating with strength and authenticity……..PAUSE
See and feel yourself making choices that honor your well-being and lead you to a life of fulfillment………….
