Meet a symbol for this season.

A short guided visualization + gentle journal prompts to begin your inner conversation.

Suggested time: 10–20 minutes.

Begin with the Guided Visualization

Optional: before you press play, hold one gentle question in mind — a small worry or a quiet longing. Or arrive empty-handed and open, and see what the symbol points you toward. Both are welcome.

Step 1 — Listen & Journal

Listen — Find a quiet moment, press play, and follow the invitation.
Journal — After the visualization, spend 5–10 minutes with the “First Encounter” prompts below.

First Encounter (5–10 min)

  1. Title this entry: Symbol: [name] — [date]

  2. Describe what appeared: shape, color, texture, size, where it sits.

  3. Note bodily impressions: where do you feel it? What emotion rises?

  4. Free write for 5 minutes on anything that comes up in relation to the overall experience as well as the symbol itself.

  5. Finish: “If this symbol has a message for me right now, it would say…”

There’s no right way to do this — whatever appears is enough. Tend to it with kindness.

Step 2 — Return & Dialogue (Optional)

To gain a deeper perspective you can revisit and dialogue with your symbol later the same day or weeks from now — follow your timing.

Return & Dialogue (10–20 min)

  1. Close your eyes briefly and call the symbol back into presence.

  2. Imagine you are speaking with the symbol. Ask:

    • What do you want me to know?

    • What do you need from me now?

    • What small next step would honor you?

  3. Let the symbol answer in first person—don’t censor.

  4. Spend some time writing down what transpired

  5. Close with: “One small thing I can do this week to honor this message is…”

Keep this symbol near you this week — let it be a small lamp illuminating what’s asking to be seen.
