Feeling disconnected & confused? Try this

Do you ever get that  feeling? When you kind of feel disconnected from yourself?

A weird sense of discombobulation where clarity feels a long way away and you can’t make the simplest decision. Thoughts and options churn around in your mind and you end up feeling totally confused.

I do.

I just did!

I was trying to think about what to write for this week’s blog.

And I felt blocked.

I had one idea, then another. Then a kind of fuzzy resistance and churning thoughts of “Oh I don’t know. Who reads this blog anyway? I’m running out of time this morning. What should I do? Should I write about something to promote an upcoming event or just write from the heart?”.

{That last question answered itself by the way. When I catch myself coming from a place of “should” v coming from the heart … well, the heart always wins!}

I’d just been preparing for my Living Yoga Circle tonight where we’re looking at the Brow & Crown Chakras – so thoughts and feelings of clarity and light and clear vision were floating around within my heartspace.

And then I remembered the beautiful Dru meditation I’ve been sharing in my weekly yoga classes these past couple of weeks.

I did a few minutes practice of this meditation myself.

And everything settled. As I quieted my mind and became grounded and present in my body, I could hear the whispers of my inner guidance. And the answer came: “just share this”. 

So, here it is for you.

A simple, beautiful meditation to practise when you’re feeling confused and disconnected from your heart, soul and purpose.

Corona of Light Meditation

1. Sit comfortably – on a chair or on the floor.
2. Become aware of your breath entering and leaving your nostrils. Enjoy the stillness for a moment or two.
3. Take your focus to your heart and feel your chest rising and falling with the in-breath and out-breath.
4. Visualise a warm, golden light in your heart.
5. With each in-breath, visualise the light gradually becoming stronger and brighter until it spreads out to fill the whole of your chest. Allow it to be extend beyond your body.
6. See and feel yourself surrounded by a circle of light.
7. Feel yourself connected through that light to everything around you. Light inside… light outside.
8. Enjoy the sense of wellbeing that comes as the light enfolds and upholds you.
9. AFFIRM: I am one with the light. I am always connected.
10. When you feel ready, come slowly out of the meditation.

Simple yet powerful!
