The Path of Truth + Guided Meditation

Part 1/3

The WISDOM podcast  Season 3  Episode 1

Welcome to Season Three of The WISDOM podcast. We begin with the premise that you already know what is right for you.

“This is my truth, my wonder. I follow it here and into the certain dwelling space of my heart.

Honour the life that you have been given. Dream great things for these will be possible. Use the light within to best guide your path into light.” – dorothy ratusny

        

 

Each time that you follow a path that honours you, that supports what you want; that lifts your spirit; that nourishes your inner being and allows you to live successful to what you have always wanted, there is a certain calmness that is felt.  It is a state of inner peace, and the confidence that you have found what is right and best suited for you.

This is your path of truth.

In the accompanying meditation, you are encouraged to find your sacred path into light; into goodness; into doing what is right and best for you – for the situation, and ultimately as the right teaching of your heart.

It’s a meditation that is meant to be experienced as a means of starting you along your spiritual path; for deepening your connection within, and for reminding you of all of the truth and wisdom you hold.

Next Sunday at 8pm EST, join me in Part Two of this Three part series in ‘How Do I Live My Truth?’

Each Tuesday at 8pm EST, I take you on a journey – inside – what happens in a session of Life Coaching and Therapy in the ‘ask dorothy’ series as we answer the questions that honour your path and your life.  

 

In this meditation, you are encouraged to find your sacred path into light; into goodness; into doing what is right and best for you – for the situation, and ultimately as the right teaching of your heart.

We begin with the premise that you already know what is right for you. Each time that you follow a path that honours you, that supports what you want; that lifts your spirit; that nourishes your inner being and allows you to live successful to what you have always wanted, there is a certain calmness that is felt. It is a state of inner peace, and the confidence that you have found what is right and best suited for you.

Seeking right answers can be confusing as can the input and suggestions of others when we look to them to give us our answers. As a learned practice beginning in childhood, we rely on the words and teachings of our caregivers. We trust that they are showing us the right way. We learn to obey such rules and authority that keep us safe and our needs cared for.

As a natural outpouring of individuation there is also a time in which we must begin to decide for our self. What clothes we will choose to wear to school, when we are hungry and can eat, how to clean our body and practice good hygiene.

 

We may also learn that our happiness is a choice. It is not dependent upon being given a new toy or ice-cream or a visit to the circus or amusement park. These are external sources of happiness but the truth is that we could be enjoying ice cream or an exhilarating ride at a theme park or receive a new bicycle or expensive toy and feel unhappy, unwell, anxious, frightened, angry.

We feel based on what thoughts we hold; and our perceptions of a situation and not whether our demands are met by others, rather how we are able to give what is needed to our self.

If you continue to see life as the distinct messenger of what happens ‘to you’ then you may also not see yourself as having the ability to chose wisely everything.

It may seem as though what happens is beyond your power and yet all things are coming to you as you are also building them in and of your consciousness. The path of truth is an awakening – to recognize the deep habits that you hold; to decide upon what is truly best and in support of you and what you will choose differently; all of which support your journey through life.

 

The biggest change and spiritual offering that I extend to you here, is the reclaiming of your personal power to live in the right knowing that it is you that chooses. You choose out of conscious awareness; living awake to the knowledge that you decide your path and your life with each moment you live and breathe.

You also choose by not deciding or by making decisions that are not aligned with this right knowing that you have the ability of.

 

In childhood, we are encouraged to make good choices. You may have been asked your opinion, your beliefs; and to share the values that bring you to a right decision in which to act upon. Or you may have grown up being told what do to and if you defied that order, that decision made for you – in may have come with consequences, recourse, punishment.

The teaching is to reclaim all personal power as the decisions that you make and live of your heart and in the true abundance of love that you are.

To help you discover the path of your truth, join me in this guided meditation. It is as simple as closing your eyes, taking in my words as you give to yourself the gift of personal power – of discovering the path of right knowing that honours for you your ability to live certain and of your highest potential for sacred truth.

In a comfortable posture, seated upright, your head gently restful at the top of your spine, bring your attention into your heart centre. See this as the focal point for the remainder of this meditation; for where you need to be gently watchful, for where you sense and feel what are the guiding messages and the inner wisdom that lives here.

 

The path of truth is within you. It is in the world deep within your mind and body and focused here at the entryway of your heart. It opens within you your sacred light and the path of wonder now here that you follow within into the miracle of what you are and what all is possible.

Now that you are ready to begin, find your focus on the centre of your chest; of your heart centre; and begin to think of this as personal communication that is always flowing in both directions. You ask and receive what wisdom you seek and you lovingly appreciate the wealth and abundance that is expressed here.

 

Begin with a question of what you have been deliberating in and of your conscious mind. If it is something that is of great importance, let this be one of many occasions of which you go inward to find your answer and then to witness more of what is here awaiting you.

Ask and direct your attention, your focus into your heart as if you are in conversation solely with this wisest part of you.

Ask and then be still in your presence as you take in and receive the answers in words, in sensations, in visual form – in all of the ways that you are guided to receive the right information. Ask and then hold space and presence for your answers. I will give you quiet now in which to do this.

 

Consider how right answers feel. It is not tense in the body. It is light and freeing. Right action and answers allow you to feel ease and flow as if everything is in perfect order for you. Everything is as it needs to be. You have the faith and trust that everything you are in search of is finding its right place on its way to you. This can also take some practice as you live more of the time in the present moment and in appreciation of your life unfolding one moment at a time.

 

The other practice is to use this deliberate means of accessing your inner wisdom often. Use it as a means of practice wherever you need to find an answer. To go within may already be a natural decision; and still the witnessing of your heart and its exceptional guidance like learning a new language, requires some practice.

 

It is important to quiet the mind first and so you may wish to practice only this for the first few minutes to sink deeper into the wisdom that you have before asking a question; before seeking your answers and truth. Like a highly developed skill, your inward seeking will always enlighten the path you are on.

 

I suggest that this becomes a part of your repertoire; of building confidence in the knowledge of your ability to be your expert – to witness the stream of consciousness that is forever flowing into you and that is always accessible in this way; in the asking and receiving of divine wisdom and in the measure of your life.

 

The importance of this first quest; this sacred practice is to always be knowledgeable of how to find your right answers. You can always share your findings, you can invite others to give you their opinions and impressions but these are not your own. To have the ability to live autonomous and free is to act responsibly to yourself; to choose well; to own your decisions – to be happy and confident in what you are choosing as the most important and loving path of truth – for you.

See this as a necessary life skill that you now hold; that you have the ability to wield at all times for and of your highest good. Then this practice will be a certain way in which you approve of all of the moment-by-moment decisions you make.

As you prepare to open your eyes; to soften into the certainty of your answers and to take action unto them, trust in your inner knowing. You may ask again the question to build greater insight and confidence as you set out to receive your answers deliberately. Now is the calling of your heart into the space and time of your life still awaiting you. Knowledge is sacred power. It is your truth. Find this within and be confident in your certain knowledge of what is right and best for you.

Practice this. Let me know how it is helpful to you; how it becomes a new and sacred space for you to find your truth and to live this far more of the time. There are no questions too small or great. Everything can be witnessed through the path of your heart.
