    Here’s a Sample of the ““What the World Needs” Guided Meditation Script” Guided Meditation Script:

    I invite you to close your eyes.Relax the body. Maybe take a couple of slow deep breaths.Softening any tension around your shoulders or your belly.”Don’t ask what the world needs.Ask what makes you come alive and go out and do it.Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”This is a quote from Howard Thurman.Don’t ask what the world needs.Ask what makes you come alive.And go out and do it.Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.Let the words in this quote sit with you for a moment.Don’t ask what the world needs.Ask what makes you come alive and go out and do it.Because of what the world needs is people who have come alive.Becoming aware of any feelings, sensations, thoughts,or images that might come.And what do you notice?What makes you come alive?What can you do with that?

    Asking yourself, “What makes me come alive?What can I do with that.” What are the times when you feel most vivid, energized, engaged?What patterns emerge when you look at the timesor circumstances that your unique gifts shine through?What are those patterns?Our passionate responses to life are like a string of shining lights guiding us home to ourselves into deeper meaning.These lights are the talents, perspectives, and gifts that long to be expressed through us for the world.So, now is the time to ask yourself,”What makes me come alive and what can I do with that?”We’re often guided to try to find our bliss and to follow thatbut following this directive can be like chasing sunshine.
