About this session
- Clarifies your direction
- Reveals life themes
- Builds inner certainty
- Inspires fresh vision
Anodea Judith leads you through a imagined temple of white columns, where you picture a lifeline running through your forehead, front to back. With a bead on that line, you travel from before birth to old age, collecting each moment of aliveness in a basket, then offering its contents forward.
It suits anyone who feels unsure what they are here to do, or who is standing at a turning point. Choose a quiet stretch of morning to set your direction, or late afternoon to take stock before the day closes. Keep a notebook nearby.

Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What is the lifeline and the bead?
You picture a point at your third eye, at brow level, crossing your vertical core. From it, a horizontal line runs behind you into the past and ahead of you into the future. A bead slides along that line, so you can move through your life one stage at a time.
What is the basket for?
At your birth you are given a name and a basket for collecting your life experience. At each stage, from your earliest memory through school, young adulthood and work, you harvest moments of aliveness into it. Things you were good at and things people said about you go in too. It shows the themes that repeat.
Does purpose mean a specific mission?
Anodea Judith separates purpose from marching orders, which are a specific set of things to do. She sees purpose as broader, such as creating love and beauty, making people laugh, being a good listener or being a healer. You listen for the theme, not a job title.
What if my past includes painful things?
She says so directly: purpose can be shaped by hard events. Losing a parent might lead someone to start an orphanage, and a family divorce might lead to counseling. You are invited to harvest anything significant, positive or negative, into your basket.
Why does the meditation go to the deathbed?
After sharing from your basket at a few months, a year, five, ten and twenty years ahead, you reach the end of your life. Loved ones ask whether you fulfilled your purpose, and what it was. Answering from there can bring a clear sense of what mattered. You then slide back to the present, so you don't stay there.
What happens at the end?
You gather past and future into now and bring them down your body's center line, from the head to the feet. You then tell your purpose to the friends in the temple, who answer that it feels right for you. With that certainty, you let the columns dissolve and return.
