Imagine a gentle, loving energy within you, Try to see its bright spark of light and feel its warmth in your heart. Imagine it expanding until it fills your heart, your body and your energy field. This light represents your divinity, your inner goddess. Take a moment to breathe in her love. Hold it in your heart space & savor it, then share it with the world as you exhale.

I created that little guided meditation for two reasons. One, to demonstrate how easy it can be to connect with your goddess self through meditation and visualization. And two, to show you that even a one-minute meditation can be powerful.

Using Meditation to Connect
to Your Divinity


As healers and lightworkers, connecting to your divine self is imperative. It's the foundation for your entire new earth mission and your ascension.

​So let's look at easy ways to make sure you not only meditate every day but can make it feel like a retreat. 

Now, with lots of practice, you will eventually be able to connect with just your intention to do so. And hopefully, stay connected.

But meanwhile, let's make connecting to your inner goddess as easy as we can.

5 Ways to Create a Daily
Mini Meditation Retreat


Create a routine that gives you a chance to slow down and relax for a while.
​

One: What to Plan for Your Daily Meditation Routine


Here are some steps that you can take to start your daily meditation routine...

(1) Find a quiet spot in your home where you won't be disturbed.

(2) Get comfortable enough to sit for at least for at least 5 minutes, and then work up to 15 or more.

Save the one-minute meditations for mindful moments throughout the day, but have a dedicated meditation time where you can spend more time in stillness.

(3) You can start your meditation practice with goddess breathing.

Close your eyes, and get comfy. Then take deep breaths in, breathing in your inner goddess, and when you breathe out through your mouth, release the goddess frequency to the world.

Repeat the process several times until you feel calm and at ease.


Two: Find an Ideal, Comfy Spot in Your Home


What do you want to have in your meditation space?

You could choose the floor, a roomy chair with comfy pillows, or you could sit on your bed with pillows behind you. You could light your favorite candle, play ocean sounds or music, or add other things that feel cozy.

You also could create an aromatherapy room spray or choose essential oils for your diffuser.

​You might choose a crystal you want to hold in your hand while meditating, or create an altar with a crystal grid dedicated to spiritual connection.

What would make it special? What would make it feel like a retreat?

Three: Use Guided Meditations


Now, there's nothing wrong with simple sitting in stillness and doing your goddess breathing. You could place your hands on your heart and repeat an affirmation, feeling it reverberate beneath your hands.

But the promise of a guided meditation is that it might be easier to release your brain from its tireless service.

And a guided meditation can be worded in such a way that it helps you with exactly what you have in mind - connecting with your goddess self, or trusting that connection. Or letting go of the false self. Letting go of the past. Etc.

Hi Jeanine, I so enjoy learning something new! I watched the video on YouTube that you shared on your other blog post that you linked to here, about the walks at night time in the cotswolds, and I was absolutely blown away. What a wonderful idea, to share videos of walks, 30 minutes long. I think that is fantastic. I got a bit side tracked. As always, I'm learning something new from you Jeanine and continually enjoying reading your blogs - keep them coming! Alice
