Begin by sitting comfortably with your feet grounded on the floor.
Take three deep breaths, letting each out breath release any tension you might be holding about expressing yourself or doubts about what you have to say.
Imagine you're sitting in front of an old-fashioned radio. Its wooden case is warm to the touch. The dial glows softly. As you look at it, notice all the frequencies available to you – each one representing a different voice, a different story, a different way of expressing yourself.
Right now, there's static on the frequency you're tuned to. Listen to that static for a moment. In this static, hear the voices of doubt... the inner critic... the external judgments. Notice how they create interference, making it hard to find your clear signal.
Now, slowly begin to turn the dial. As you do, the static begins to fade. You're searching for your unique frequency—the one that carries your authentic voice.
Take a moment to feel the desire to share your story building in your body. Where does it live? Perhaps in your chest, your throat, your fingertips? Notice the physical sensation of the words wanting to emerge.
Continue turning the dial, ever so slowly. You'll know your frequency when you find it. It might come as:
a clear note of music
a specific colour
a feeling in your body of ‘rightness’
a moment of absolute clarity
a word or phrase that feels completely true.
You've found it now—your clear signal. The static has fallen away. In this space of clarity, let one story or message rise to the surface. Something you need to tell. Something only you can share in your unique way.
Take a moment to really feel this story or message. Don't worry about the words yet. Just feel its energy, its importance, its truth.
Now, imagine your voice—clear, strong, authentic—travelling out on this frequency. See it reaching the exact people who need to hear what you have to say. Picture them tuning in, recognising the truth in your words, feeling less alone because you had the courage to share.
Take three more deep breaths. With each breath, strengthen your connection to this clear frequency, this authentic voice.
When you're ready, open your eyes. Take a moment to write down any words, images, or feelings that came to you during this meditation.
