Welcome to Be With Melinda.
Today we enter the temple of the body,
The dwelling place of Shekhinah,
The indwelling presence of the Divine.
Your body is wiser than your mind.
It knows what is sacred,
What is safe,
And what opens the heart to love.
When love is patient and present,
Your whole being blooms.
When energy is hurried or self-serving,
The body contracts to protect the soul.
This is not resistance.
It's holy discernment.
It is the Shekhinah within you protecting what is sacred.
Let us breathe into that wisdom now and remember how the Divine moves through us in the rhythm of love and awareness.
If you are alone,
Place one hand over your heart and one over your lower belly.
If you are with a partner,
Place one hand over their heart and invite them to do the same for you.
Breathe softly.
Let your inhales and your exhales begin to harmonize with one presence.
With each inhale,
Whisper inwardly,
I receive divine love.
With each exhale,
I release what is not aligned in love.
Let your breath soften the space beneath your hands or between your joined hands if they are together.
Now imagine a column of light descending from the infinite,
From the upper worlds of Keter and Tiferet,
Flowing gently into your crown,
Your heart,
Your belly,
Your root.
This is the current of divine compassion,
The river of light that nourishes creation.
It carries the wisdom of the Holy One,
Luminous,
Tender and exact.
This light is the Shekhinah awakening within your body,
Calling you home to presence.
Now we'll invoke the feminine current.
Breathe into your lower center,
The place of receiving,
The vessel of Melchut,
Where the Shekhinah dwells in every soul.
Feel this inner sanctuary softening,
Remembering its right to safety,
Tenderness and reverence.
Shekhinah within you opens not to lust,
But to love.
She blossoms when she feels seen,
Honored and cherished.
Every breath reminds her,
I am the dwelling place of the divine.
I am sacred.
I am safe.
I am free to receive Holy Love.
Now we'll walk into the masculine current.
Breathe into your foundation,
Into Yesod,
The channel through which divine flow descends into form.
Feel the current of Tiferet,
The radiant beauty of the Holy One filling your heart and streaming downward as light.
This is the giving principle,
The river of consciousness,
The outpouring of divine presence.
It does not grasp or demand.
It blesses,
It offers,
And it protects what is sacred.
Let this current remember its purpose to serve love,
To restore harmony,
To join heaven and earth within you.
Now we'll work on the inner union,
The holy marriage within.
Feel both currents,
The receiving and the offering,
The rising and descending within you,
Meeting at your heart.
If you are partnered,
Imagine the same current flowing between you from heart to heart,
From root to crown,
In a circle of golden light.
This is what is known as Yechud,
The mystical union of the Holy One and Shekhinah within you.
Masculine and feminine,
Giving and receiving,
Heaven and earth united as one breath.
This is the restoration of balance.
This is divine harmony reborn in your body.
Now imagine before you a presence of pure light,
The face of compassion itself.
It stands before you,
Radiant,
Gentle,
Unwavering.
This presence does not reach or take.
It simply sees you.
Its gaze says,
You are safe,
You are sacred,
You are a vessel of holy love.
Let this presence breathe with you.
Inhale,
Receiving divine love.
Exhale,
Releasing all that is not aligned with love.
Stay here in the current of light moving through you.
Shekhinah rising from your root.
Tiferet descending from your heart.
Their embrace filling you with peace.
This is the tree of life alive within your body.
When your body says no,
It's the Shekhinah within you protecting her temple.
When your body says yes,
It's the Shekhinah welcoming the Holy One.
The sacred union of heaven and earth within your being.
You deserve to be met by love that lingers,
Not lust that fades.
You deserve to be touched with reverence,
Not urgency.
You deserve to experience the divine through tenderness that nourishes your soul.
Let your body continue to teach you this truth through breath,
Through presence,
Through trust.
It will never lead you astray.
Take one final deep breath in through the nose and sigh it out through the mouth.
Place both hands over your heart or if you're with a partner over each other's hearts and whisper,
I am sacred.
I am safe.
I am love.
When you're ready,
Open your eyes.
May this remembrance guide you towards relationships and energies that honor the divine within you.
Thank you for meditating with me.
This is Be With Melinda.
May your heart and body always rest in love.
