Shell Meditation: Finding Beauty Within Chaos

There is beauty within your story. Just like shells scattered across a beach, your days have tales of life lived, adventures taken, and lessons learned. Join me on this gentle journey of acceptance—a meditation celebrating you and your life, just as they are.

“Behind your chaos is a tale of love, joy, exuberance, and life.”

Shell Meditation

“Feel free to practice sitting or lying down. You can even go for a walk. Maybe you are by a beach, if you are feel free to go there for our meditation today.

Visualize a beach where the sand is covered with shells. Each shell has a history--telling a story of a life that once lived. They have been brought to rest upon the shore by the ocean, or maybe a curious hand, maybe another animal. They create a scattering, a mess by any other measure, but a beautiful one.

Now take a moment to think about your life. Where is there a similar scattering? Maybe it's your physical space--toys, boxes, mess scattered throughout your house. Maybe it's your mental space--stress, worry, things to do scattered throughout your brain. Maybe it's your emotional space--feelings of sadness, anger, or hurt that make you feel as if you are a scattered mess.

Just as those shells tell a story, so too does the scattering in your life. Rather than seeing your mess as a problem, try imagining it as a beautiful mess. Behind your chaos is a tale of love, joy, exuberance, and life.”
