Recognizing Life Purpose

As we kick off 2009, I thought I would share an affirmation meditation written by one of my favorite spiritual well-being teachers, Orin and DaBen:

Recognizing Life Purpose

With each breath in I affirm I have a life purpose.

With each breath out I send my purpose out to the world,

where it may manifest in my life.

This continues automatically, as I breathe in and out.

I now release other people's pictures

of what I should do or accomplish with my life.

I know what I love to do.

I affirm that I can do what I love,

knowing that as I do I am living my life purpose.

I now know what to do that brings me joy.

I affirm that I can do what brings me joy,

knowing that as I do I am living my life purpose.

I decide to do what is for my highest good,

knowing that as I do it serves the higher good of others

and is part of living my life purpose.

I fulfill my life purpose in every action I take.

I follow my heart and my joy.

I release everything in my life that is not part of my life purpose.

Today I take the time to listen to what my heart is telling me.

I ask myself,"What would I love to do today,

that will bring me joy, that will serve my higher good?"

I think of one thing I can do today that is my life purpose

because it fills my heart with joy and love,

and because it serves my higher good.

I make a picture of doing it and carry out this thought with action.
I am the captain of my ship,

and I am guiding my ship exactly where I want it to go.

I am now creating my ideal life

as I find and live my higher purpose.

As we take responsiblility for our own joy, as we live life from a place of purpose, may we all find the peace and harmony that is our divine right.

Blessings for the New Year and beyond,
