Separation.
Is one of the biggest tricks our ego plays on us.
And also causes us the most pain.
We spend our lives feeling lonely and isolated.
But what we are really disconnected from is ourselves.
Our ego self wants to identify and take ownership of everything.
In relationships,
We get away from true love and end up at lust.
Wanting to own and control our partner.
Instead of loving them and uplifting them.
We spend our time falling in love instead of rising in love.
When you don't focus on that true connection.
Is falling in love.
And when you fall,
The love vibe fades,
And you're always left with jealousy,
Anger,
And delusion.
Rising in Love.
You remember that connection.
And the love grows and flourishes.
In actuality,
The same light that shines in you,
Is the same light that shines in me,
And is the same light that shines in everyone and everything around us.
We forget this connection all the time,
And it leads to suffering.
Or we forget this connection.
And leads to a lot of negative emotions and feelings towards others.
When we remember this connection.
How can we truly hate anyone?
Anger will arise.
But once you realize it,
You must go deeper and remember that connection.
Peace if you hate them.
You are only truly hating yourself.
Also.
Remember,
Since we are all connected.
That most of the time we see something in someone else that we don't like or rubs us the wrong way,
It's actually a reflection of something we see in ourselves.
Why do you think we can see it so easily?
This practice is all about seeing and remembering that connection you have to everyone and everything.
So that you are closer to your true self.
We're going to get into a comfortable meditative position.
Whatever that may be for you.
And I welcome you to close your eyes.
We're going to start with a few centering breaths.
Nice,
Long,
Slow,
Full deep breaths.
We're gonna go ahead and inhale nice and deeply.
And exhale it breath all the way out.
Inhale again deeply.
And excellent breath out.
Inhale nice and deeply.
And exhale it out.
And continue breathing on your own.
Let your breath be relaxed.
Let it be effortless.
And let it be natural.
We're going to draw our awareness to our heart center.
We're going to see and feel a bright white light shining there.
See it shining.
Feel its warmth.
Feel its love.
And know that it's your true self.
Perfect in every way.
That universal spark that dwells within everyone and everything.
See and feel that light shining within you.
And with your imagination.
You're gonna see all the people that live in your home with you.
You can use the Physical as a reference.
But then.
.
.
You're going to see that light shining.
That same light that's shining within you.
You're going to see shining within each and every one of them.
And you're going to feel and see an energetic connection between your light and all of their lights.
If you have any pets,
Include them in this practice too.
See that light shining within them and see it shining within you.
And see and feel that energetic connection between your lights.
Now you're going to see and feel that same light inside all the stuff in your house.
No matter how big or small it is.
Your computer,
Your cell phone,
Your TV,
The plants in your home if you have any.
Any and everything that's in your home.
You're going to see and feel that same light in.
And you're also going to see and feel that energetic connection between you and the people and the things in your home.
Feel that oneness.
Feel that connection.
Feel that love.
And we're going to expand our awareness out of our home and into our neighborhood.
All of your neighbors.
The ones that you like.
Even the ones that you don't like.
See that light that shines within you.
Shining within them.
And see and feel that energetic connection between you and all of your neighbors.
Feel that strong connection.
Feel that love.
Expanded beyond your neighbors.
The cars.
The buildings.
Everything else in your neighborhood.
See that light that shines within you.
Shining within those things.
And see and feel that energetic connection once again.
Feel the Union.
Feel the connection.
Feel the love.
Between you and me.
And all of those things.
From your neighborhood.
Expand our awareness even further.
Out to whatever city or town we live in.
Use your imagination.
And see all the residents of your city.
Everyone that lives there.
And as you see them,
Remember you're only using their physical form as a reference to go deeper.
To see that light shining within them,
Each and every one of them.
And know that it's the same light that's shining within you.
And see and feel that energetic connection.
To all the people living in your city.
People you know.
Strangers.
All walks of life.
People who look like you.
People who don't look like you.
It's beyond the physical,
We are all connected.
So see all the people that live in your city.
See your light.
See their lights.
And see and feel that energetic connection.
Really take the time to feel that connection.
And feel that love.
Now we're going to expand our awareness even further to the buildings in whatever city or town we live in.
The ones you know and you're familiar with.
The ones you don't know.
Big buildings,
Small buildings.
Even the things inside the buildings.
See that light shining within you.
And see that same light shining within all of those buildings and the things within them.
And see and feel that energetic connection between you and me.
In all those buildings in whatever city or town you live in.
Now see all the natural spaces in your city or town.
Trees.
Compliance.
The flowers.
The insects.
The animals.
The birds.
And every other thing you can possibly imagine.
Living in nature.
And the city or town that you live in.
Whether it's a lot of nature.
Just a small park and a few trees.
Just connect to it.
See your light.
And then see that same light shining within all of those things.
The entire natural world,
And the city or town you live in.
See that light that shines within you shining within every part of it.
And see and feel that energetic connection.
Know that you are them,
And they are you.
From here,
Expand your awareness to your entire country,
Wherever you're from.
All the space in your country,
All the people in your country.
All the buildings in your country.
Everything living in nature in your country.
All the things in your country.
See ya then.
And see that light that shines within you shining within them.
Know that you are all connected.
You are all one.
See and feel that energetic connection between yourself,
That light that shines within you.
And all those other things in your country.
And a light that shone within them.
Now we expand this out to Mother Earth and the entire planet.
The land,
The sea,
The air,
The plants,
The animals,
The people.
Structures.
Everything on the planet.
And Mother Earth itself.
See the light shining within you.
See it shining within Mother Earth.
And everything on Mother Earth.
See and feel that energetic connection between you and the world.
And all the things on the planet and the planet.
Know that you're one with it all.
You're connected to it all.
The light that shines within you.
The same light that shines within it.
See and feel that energetic connection.
And know that you are all one.
Now we're going to expand our awareness one last time.
Beyond mother earth.
Out into the universe.
All the stars.
All the planets.
All the galaxies.
Anything you can possibly imagine.
See that same light shining in you.
Shining brightly in everything in the universe.
That universal oneness.
Is your true nature.
Feel that connection deeply.
And let that light shine.
And we're slowly going to start to draw ourselves out of the practice.
You can start by lightly wiggling your fingers and toes.
You can roll your wrists and roll your ankles a little bit.
You can move your head from side to side.
And then slowly,
Slowly open your eyes and come back to your senses.
Thank you for practicing.
