Noticing Your Helpers. This guided meditation invites you to bring to mind the people who have helped you in your life, and to imagine each one sitting in the sky ahead of you.
Here’s a Sample of the “Noticing Your Helpers” Guided Meditation Script:
Sitting comfortably in a quiet place where you can be free from distractions
Whether you’re on a chair or the floor, sitting tall with a neutral spine
Closing your eyes, and breathing in and out through your nose
Taking a few cycles of breath to settle into your seat,
And to settle the energy of your mind
(pause 3-5 breaths)
And then now that you’ve arrived,
Inviting in your helpers.
Bringing to mind anyone who has ever helped you in your life
And as you remember each one, inviting them to sit in the sky ahead of you,
And seeing them there, looking down and smiling upon where you are
right here, and right now
Remembering all the way back to your mother and father perhaps
Or your family, those who helped raise you
Recalling who it was who taught you the most basic survival skills in life
Who taught you how to eat, how to brush your teeth, how to tie your shoes
Recalling all the traditional teachers and helpers in your life
Remembering who taught you how to read
How to think critically
Who taught you how to ask questions, or wonder
And then also inviting in those who occupy non-traditional roles
Someone you know who helped you by simply being an example, or a listener,
Or someone who was an inspiration
And then maybe there have been helpers in your life who appeared in challenging ways,
Forceful, even wrathful perhaps
And if you’d like to, inviting them too,
to sit up there with the others, smiling down upon you
