I'm so glad you're able to join me today.
Today's meditation is about becoming a light for others.
And we begin by connecting to our breath.
For just these few moments,
There's nowhere you need to go.
And nothing you need to accomplish.
You simply need to be here.
And so imagine letting all of those to do.
All the busyness in your mind.
Imagine letting that go.
Placing it in a box.
And setting it down outside of yourself.
Just for a few moments.
Simply be here.
Feel the ground beneath you.
Feel the support holding you.
Feel your breath as it gently moves through you.
And imagine.
That you're surrounded by a beautiful,
Quiet field of light.
A light that asks nothing of you.
A light that simply reminds you.
That you are hell.
That you are supported.
That you are not alone.
Allow yourself to feel hell.
Allow yourself to feel this light.
As we rest here connected to our breath.
Allow yourself to receive.
Feel your heart opening and softening.
Allowing yourself to receive peace.
To receive compassion.
To receive healing.
Now imagine that this light begins to grow within your heart.
That your heart is so completely filled.
That with every breath.
.
.
Your heart becomes a little more open.
A little more spacious.
A little more loving.
And as your heart opens,
Imagine that there's light within you.
Begins to reach beyond your body.
Perhaps there is someone in your life who is struggling.
Imagine being a gentle light for them.
Knowing that you don't need to fix them.
You do not need to have all the answers.
Simply imagine offering your presence.
Like the quiet field of light surrounding you.
Just be there.
Sharing your compassion.
Your kindness.
Your willingness to walk beside them.
Now,
Let your awareness expand beyond the people you know.
Imagine this light,
Your light.
Touching people you will never meet.
Someone who is lonely.
Someone who is frightened.
Maybe someone who has lost their way.
Maybe someone who is carrying a burden.
No one else can see.
Let your heart whisper to them.
May you be safe.
May you find your way.
May you find peace.
May you remember the light within you.
Now let's bring that same compassion back to you.
Because you too are part of humanity.
You too sometimes lose your way.
You too sometimes need a guide.
A resting place.
Bridge across.
Trouble Waters.
A lamp in the darkness.
So today,
Allow yourself to be both.
The one who receives the light.
And the one who carries it.
Imagine moving through your day with a little more tenderness.
Imagine your words becoming a little more kinder.
Your presence becoming a little softer.
Your heart becoming a little more open.
You don't have to change the whole world.
Perhaps your work is simply to bring a little more light into the small corner of the world.
That you occupy.
One breath.
One kind.
One compassionate moment at a time.
Your presence.
And as you sit here.
Gently breathing.
Feel the truth that your life can be a gift to others.
Simply by the way you show up.
May you be a light.
May you be a refuge.
May you be a bridge for someone.
May you be a source of healing.
And may the love within you ripple outwards in ways you may never know.
Come back to your breath.
Come to your heart.
And bring to mind.
Person,
Someone in your life.
Who has touched you in a meaningful way.
And ask your heart.
How can I be a blessing today?
How can I be a blessing?
Namaste.
