Let's begin by finding a comfortable seat,
Or find yourself lying down if that feels right to you.
Make any adjustments you need so you can settle in and relax deeply.
Gently close your eyes.
Take a big deep breath in,
Hold it at the top,
And release.
A final deep breath in,
Filling your whole self with nourishment,
Hold it,
And release.
Now just giving yourself a moment to settle into this stillness,
Noticing any tension in your body,
And giving yourself permission to just let it melt away.
Letting your shoulders down from your ears,
Releasing tension from your jaw,
Softening your eyes,
Your mouth,
Melting away any tension in your hips or your thighs as you're seated here.
Allow these feelings to melt away for the time being as you sink deeper into relaxation and a sense of deep calmness.
You're breathing steady and relaxed,
Still and calm.
Now let's shift your attention away from your body and into the incredible vast space around you.
Allow your awareness to notice the space around your head,
It feels so vast and expansive.
Consider noticing how much space there is around you as you gently melt into this.
Move deeper into expansion as you notice the space around your neck,
Feeling the endless,
Expansive space around you,
Allowing yourself to melt deeper and deeper and deeper,
Feeling even more into the deep void space around you.
You feel the endless expansion in front of you as you notice this space getting deeper and deeper.
Allow it to continue to expand and grow around you,
Feeling less and less connected to you and more deeply connected to this spaciousness,
As if you and this space are melting into one,
Allowing yourself to go even deeper.
Now place your awareness on that endless space behind you as you allow yourself to melt,
Continuing to feel this merging of yourself with the endless,
Expansive space behind you.
It feels like such a relief to feel so limitless.
Allow yourself to surrender and sink in even deeper.
You are safe and held in this blissful space,
Allowing yourself to surrender as you lose the separation between yourself and this incredibly expansive space,
Connecting deeper to your limitless energy and the interconnectedness of everything.
Begin to bring attention to something that you feel deep reverence for,
A love like no other.
Maybe this love is for a person,
Maybe this love is for an animal,
A thing,
A place,
Whatever it is to you is perfect.
Focus on this feeling of deep love and allow it to spread all throughout this expansive space,
Noticing how it shifts things.
Maybe you feel a change in the energy,
Maybe you see something in your mind's eye,
Maybe words of affirmations are coming to you now,
Or maybe you feel a warmness in the center of your heart,
An expansiveness around that heart space.
Maybe it's super noticeable,
Or maybe it's subtle.
Whatever you feel,
Pay attention and allow yourself to envelop yourself in this deep sense of love and appreciation,
Paying close attention to how things are different when you place your attention here.
Sink into this even deeper,
Allowing yourself to unfold into this beautiful experience of love.
Holding on to this energy,
Shift your awareness to yourself,
Notice anywhere that might have changed,
Any spots in your energy that feel more contracted than what you just experienced,
Any spots that feel heavier than what you just experienced,
And see if you can gently open back up to that same feeling of deep love you had before,
Gently pouring that energy of deep love into these contracted or heavy spaces,
Continuing to breathe and allowing yourself to open up.
For just this moment,
What if you allowed yourself to fully lean in,
Leaning into that deep sense of love,
Now fully grounding into that expansive love-filled feeling again.
Let's shift to something that might be even more challenging.
Allow yourself to focus on something that makes you feel the complete opposite of love,
Something that you feel some disdain for,
Or frustration,
A complete blockage of love.
And just for this moment,
See if you can gently release the grip,
Loosen that hold of disdain,
And welcome in that beautifully expansive feeling of reverence.
Notice where you feel a lack of expansiveness,
A lack of love,
And see if you can gently pour into that,
Bringing back that familiar feeling of reverence,
Of limitless unconditional love,
And pour that energy into those challenging spaces.
Allow those spaces to fill up with warmth and understanding,
Forgiveness,
Neutrality,
And maybe even harmony,
If you can.
You are an alchemist at your core and can shift your energy with your attention.
Continue pouring into those spaces,
Feeling a deeper connection to love and expansion,
Opening back up to that reverence,
That deep unconditional loving energy,
Placing your attention on the warmth,
On the calmness,
On the part of you that wants to expand.
As you begin to imagine this deeply loving energy pouring out of you now,
Allowing this energy to fill up the room you are in and allowing this to continue to expand,
Filling up the rest of your home,
Pouring out of your home and into your neighborhood,
Imagining this expansive unconditional love filling up your city,
Getting larger and more expansive as it continues to spread over your entire country.
And notice as it even spreads throughout the globe.
Imagining now the entire world being wrapped in this warm embrace of unconditional love and sit for a moment to soak it all in.
Now bringing your attention back to the room you are in,
Back to your body,
Wiggling your feet and your hands as you bring your hand to your heart and connect back into the space.
Thank you for taking the time to practice,
To show up for yourself and others.
You are more powerful than you think you are,
And your heart changes the world around you,
Sending you deep love and appreciation for being the magical you.
Have a beautiful rest of your day.
