Welcome back,
Beloved soul.
Thank you for choosing collective karma meditation to be a part of your practice tonight.
As you settle into stillness,
Find a position where your body feels supported,
Your spine softening,
Your shoulders releasing,
Your breath unhurried and kind.
Let the day begin to dissolve like sand settling at the bottom of a clear pool.
Gently close your eyes and take a slow,
Full breath in through your nose,
Hold it gently for a moment,
And then exhale through your mouth,
Letting go,
Letting go,
Letting go.
Feel the body breathe itself,
The rhythm of life carrying you home to the present moment.
Bring your awareness to your heart space,
The quiet temple within you.
Imagine a small light glowing there,
Steady and golden.
With each breath,
The light expands,
Filling your chest,
Your entire being.
This light is love itself,
Asking for nothing,
Offering everything.
If thoughts come to the mind,
Just let them be.
Watch them pass like clouds across an open sky.
You are not the clouds,
Beloved soul.
You are the sky,
The vast,
Eternal awareness that holds it all.
As you rest in this awareness,
Whisper inwardly,
Move through you,
Not as ideas,
But as truth.
Feel the earth beneath you breathing along with you.
Each exhale takes you deeper into surrender.
You don't have to go anywhere.
You are already home.
If you feel your mind wandering again,
Noticing it moving like a wave,
Imagine yourself floating in the soft,
Luminous space,
Timeless.
Here,
There is no separation,
No striving,
Only presence,
Only love,
Only stillness.
Let yourself drift,
Beloved soul,
Into the quiet embrace of sleep,
Not as an escape,
But as a return,
A return to the tender mystery of being.
Rest now in the knowing that you are held by something vast and loving.
Rest now in the peace that is always here.
