I was asked to deliver a guided meditation for a class I am taking. The following is what I came up with.

Set a sacred space by lighting a candle.
Sit up straight with your feet flat on the floor.
Focus on the flame before you and breathe deeply.
Release your breath slowly.
Breathe again, feel the cool air in the back of your throat.
Release all tension as you release your breath.
Breathe in slowly, breathing in love and gratitude.
Release all worries as you breathe out.
Find yourself in the safe place within your heart.
Before you is a table with a lantern on it.
In front of the lantern is a physical representation of the thing you want or need most at this point in time.
A home on the beach.
A new car.
A true love.
Whatever it is that your heart desires, go forward and pick it up.
Hold it in your hand, feel its weight and know that it exists.
Raise up this object to the Universe and ask that it be given to you.
Close your eyes and know that as a Child of the Universe, you are worthy of receiving whatever you ask for.
Be grateful for receiving the object of your desire.
Take a moment to slowly breathe as you bask in the love and gratitude surrounding you. The love and gratitude of both you and the Divine.
Now, it is time to return.
Become aware of your breathing, the gentle rise and fall of your chest.
Hear your heartbeat.
Become aware of the sounds in the room.
Feel the flame of the candle before you.
Slowly, open your eyes and breathe deeply.
Welcome back.

Remember always that you are a Child of the Divine and are loved. That you deserve all good things that have been created and that you can create and manifest whatever you desire.

Blessings,
