I have been doing a lot of teaching and traveling lately. It’s exciting! I am so passionate about the transition I am making in my business and my focused mission to help women live at full power.

But, though I love this work, it can also be tiring. I need to take special care to listen to my own advice and give myself time to recharge!

At this time of year, as the days grow shorter and darker, many of us feel the urge to hibernate. But whenever the light around us begins to dim, it is the perfect time to connect with our inner light – to beacon in, by igniting the spark that lives within us, and to beacon out, by sharing our light with others.

Guided meditation is an effortless and enjoyable way to connect with your inner light.

This meditation is an invitation for a PAUSE.

A meditation is an invitation to spend quiet time connecting with the part of yourself that shines strong and bright, regardless of what is happening around you.

I created this 3-minute “Let Your Light Shine” Guided Meditation to help get centered quickly when needed. You can also use this meditation as a switching gears  tool when you transition between different parts of your day or need some grounding.

You can download the audio below and you can also access the script, in case you want to read the mediation to your child or your loved one.

Preparing for the meditation, light a candle, sit in a comfortable position, place one hand on your heart and open your other hand in an offering position, like you are giving your light to the universe, and close your eyes.

Pay attention to your breath

With each inhale and exhale, feel your body getting more and more relaxed.

Visualize an opening at the top of your head and a beam of light that connects you with the divine.

Visualize two beams of light growing down through the soles of your feet, connecting you with Mother Earth.

Your connection with the vertical light above and below you makes you feel safe, grounded, and supported, like a tree with roots of light.

Imagine a spark of light buried deep within your heart.

It might be tiny. There might be darkness around it. You might feel removed from the light.

But this spark is always present.

Ignite the spark with intention.

Nurture the light. Feed the light. Love the light.

The light expands through your heart.

Let your light shine.

Feel your light grow brighter and stronger, filling up and surrounding all parts of you, as you acknowledge your own true power, wisdom, and love.

Let your light shine.

Allow yourself to beacon in.

Give yourself permission to become one with the light within you.

Let your light shine.

Remember that depending on where you are in your spiritual journey, your inner light might be dim, or it might be bright. But it’s there, ready for you to tap into whenever you want.

Connect with your light.

Let your light shine.

You are being carried by the light.

You are being uplifted to a higher place.

You feel elevated.

Expanded.

Stretched out.

Lit up.

And now, from a place of strength and connection, share your light

with others.

Starting with the people closest to you, let your light shine.

The light extends beyond people who are around you and is now nourishing the world.

Allow yourself to beacon out.

Remember that at any given moment, you can connect with your inner light, bring divine light in, and carry light out into the world.

With a sense of gratitude and appreciation, take a deep breath.

Come back to the present moment and make a commitment not to let anything or anyone dim your light.

Let your light shine.
