Today I invite you to meditate on the past…not just your past, but that of previous generations. Are there any patterns you’ve noticed through the generations? Are they healthy, unhealthy, or a mixture of both? Are there any negative cycles you can break? Are there any positive patterns you would like to see continue in future generations? Now meditate on your own life journey. Spend a moment in gratitude for the positive behaviors you’ve learned from loved ones in your past, and reflect on any generational patterns you want to discontinue.

Meditation: What is Holding You Back?
Find a quiet, peaceful place, and spend a few moments reflecting on your life. Where are you now in relation to where you’d like to be? What’s holding you back from reaching your goals or finding true happiness? Can you identify any specific fears, worries, or negative self-talk?
Picture this negativity taking form as a burning flame in a forest, building in intensity with all the negativity you absorb in your life each day. The more negativity you identify, the higher the flame grows. This fire is uncomfortable and unwelcome. It must be extinguished.
Now identify positive sources in your life…God’s love, peaceful moments with your family and friends, encouraging words, joyful memories, and hope. Picture this positivity taking form as a sweet, gentle rain. Let this healing rain fall on the fire, slowly quenching the flames that used to burn you. Imagine this rain falling on your face, shoulders, and back, cooling and soothing the burn of negativity throughout your entire body. Feel it cleanse you and make you new. Notice the forest around you healing and springing back to life.
It is a new beginning. Let positivity guide your thoughts this week. If you feel negative thoughts coming back, close your eyes, and imagine the rain washing them away.
Meditation: The Present Moment
Life got busy and I began dwelling on the past and worrying about the future rather than living in the present moment. I avoided the present so much that I even stopped blogging. Now I’ve decided I need to focus on living in the present. I hope you will participate in this meditation along with me.
Please find a quiet, comfortable place to sit and meditate or pray for a few minutes. Focus on your present life…the feelings in your body, the temperature of the room, and the blessings and positives in your life at this very moment. Take time to become aware of where you are in your life, and trust that it is exactly where you are meant to be. Focus on feelings of gratitude for the present, rather than regrets or worries.
Blessings to you and yours. May you have a peaceful night! ❤
Meditation: Who Do You Want to Be?
Find a peaceful place and spend a few minutes meditating on your life. Let everyone’s opinions, expectations, and judgments fade away. Focus on your thoughts alone.
Who do you want to be? Picture that version of yourself.
What brings you joy? Envision yourself reaching your dreams.
What do you like about yourself as you are? Reflect on your positive qualities.
I invite you to finish with a prayer, thanking God for what you already have and what is to come, and asking God to guide your steps.
