Take a moment to get comfortable.
And then become still,
Either sitting or lying down,
With your eyes closed or with a gentle focus on nature or an image that is meaningful to you.
You're invited to imagine cottony white light gently rising up through your feet with each gentle breath in and out.
Feel this kind,
Loving energy on the soles of your feet.
And then gently move it up to the tops of your feet and up around your ankles as if you're wearing shoes of light.
So peaceful,
So calming.
Now let this light continue to slowly move up your legs as we do some financially focused step work.
You're invited to silently say this inspired first step statement.
Please note,
If you've been participating in 12-step programs,
Or even if you're 100% new to them,
You can find the exact wording for the steps online.
Please repeat or say whatever works for you.
Gently feel the loving light moving up into your legs,
Into your calves,
And up into your knees.
And now you have cottony white light from your knees all the way down to the soles of your feet.
And we say,
I admit I am powerless over making money and that my life is unmanageable when I hide,
Don't share my heartfelt visions,
Skills,
And talents,
And when I do not risk positively connecting with others.
Please note,
You and I are not powerless in every aspect of our lives.
You chose and pressed play to participate with his meditation.
You are not powerless.
We successfully manage and create many relationships and projects.
The distinction here is when I hide,
When I attempt to be invisible,
When I do not connect with others in creative,
Authentic ways,
And when I start fights with others for no important reason,
Then our lives become unmanageable.
Take a moment and see the positive white light move up,
Moving up from your knees all the way to your waist.
See the cottony white light get brighter and brighter as it relaxes your body.
And you can just feel yourself sinking further into the chair or wherever you're laying down.
And you can now feel and sense,
And with your mind's eye,
See the cottony white light inside and around your legs,
From the soles of your feet all the way up to your waist.
Silently say the second step-inspired sentence using eye language.
I now believe a force greater than my present day personality can restore me to the connection and flow.
We'll say this once again,
And of course you're welcome to repeat the second step version that works best for you.
I now believe a force greater than my present-day personality can restore me to the connection and flow.
Some people describe this force as loving.
If you're in a 12-step program,
You may be using God or higher power.
Different people have had different religious experiences.
Some of us have had some of these words used in truly negative ways.
Please use whatever word or words that work best for you.
Nice gentle breath in.
And let that out.
You're now invited to imagine cottony white light gently moving up past your waist into your belly and your lower back.
With each gentle breath in,
Your body becomes brighter.
With each exhale,
You release what is no longer needed and your body gets brighter.
This means with each inhale and exhale,
The positive energy increases inside and around you.
And now the white light moves into your chest.
Your shoulders relax even more,
And you're invited to put one hand over your heart and one hand over your belly.
And repeat.
Right here,
Right now,
I'm safe.
Right here,
Right now,
I'm okay.
You can feel the loving light move from your shoulders and gently down your arms.
Maybe you can feel your hands lightly tingle as the energy moves towards them.
This is 100% okay.
And we'll repeat again.
Right here,
Right now,
I'm safe.
Right here,
Right now,
I'm okay.
Feel the loving flow through and around you,
Relaxing you,
While at the same time allowing you to remain present and aware.
Realize that when we are aware of this loving,
We instinctively start to understand that it's okay to be visible.
With loving,
We know it's okay to let our talents and skills shine.
With caring people.
And as we experience this loving more,
We know it's okay to connect in a positive way with others,
While we keep and maintain healthy boundaries.
This loving does not mean I don't have boundaries or that I do what others say.
The opposite is actually true.
As the loving light fills our bodies,
We get clearer on what works and what doesn't work for us.
And we know this loving wants us to take care of ourselves.
We realize how important it is that we are treated kindly,
With caring and respect.
This loving inspires us to share our creativity and do our work in fun,
Positive ways that also respects and treats others in kind and caring ways.
Everyone wins as this loving increases.
And now silently say the third step inspired sentence.
I am exploring the idea of co-creating my work and my life with loving.
Some of us may be ready to say,
I'm deciding right now to be more kind,
Respectful,
And caring to myself,
My loved ones,
And everyone I meet,
Work with,
And serve with my creativity,
Talents,
And skills.
And if you're not ready to make this decision right now,
That is fine.
Let's just explore this possibility.
I'm exploring the idea of co-creating my work and my life with loving.
And our lives over to loving as we understand loving.
We realize our ability to be loving will most likely continue to evolve as we release the past and connect more and more with ourselves and others who truly care in positive ways.
Your eyes relax as this cottony white light moves up and fills your head inside and around.
Feel your forehead relax.
Everything gets clearer and more peaceful.
And now see it expand six inches around you.
And you're invited to repeat,
Right here,
Right now,
I'm safe.
Right here,
Right now,
I'm okay.
Here are a few lines inspired by the 6th and 7th steps.
Yes,
We skipped a couple of steps.
And if you're familiar with the 12 steps,
You probably realize this is 100% fine.
This will be the last steps that will inspire us today as we get close to the end of this meditation.
You're invited to let this idea flow through and around you like the cottony white light that is now inside and around your body.
Habits,
Patterns,
Beliefs,
Thoughts,
And behaviors,
So I can participate and shine in the world.
I release myself from all vows,
Agreements,
And promises that I've made consciously or unconsciously with my parents,
God,
Elders,
Or anyone else in this lifetime or any other.
For the truth is,
My loving and creativity and work serve others,
And it's important for all of us to positively shine now.
Myself included.
Take a nice gentle breath in and out.
My intention and plan are to bless and serve myself,
My family,
And anyone my work and creativity touches.
I anticipate getting paid well for positively working and creating and serving others.
If the universe loves everyone,
Then I am included in that.
If everyone is to be served,
That means I am served too.
This means loving,
Creativity and work can be a win-win for all of us.
See and feel the white light inside your body and let it extend out about six inches all around your body,
From the soles of your feet up to the top of your head.
And you can just feel this warm cottony white light relaxing everything while at the same time increasing your awareness and attunement.
Know that you are called to enjoy life.
Yes,
We are spelling enjoy,
E-N-J-O-Y.
And we can also spell it I-N-J-O-Y,
In joy.
When we are experiencing loving and creating with loving and sharing our creativity and work loving.
We can often sense that we're on track when we are in joy,
In peace,
In fun,
In wonder,
In awe,
And in gratitude,
To name just a few.
While we are kind,
Respectful,
And caring in our work,
We can experience a win-win situation.
We are beginning to understand that when we are co-creating with loving,
We gently move beyond powerlessness and unmanageability.
Loving attunement opens us up,
Connects us to our intuition,
Insight,
Inspiration,
And even lines us up with synchronicities.
I express gratitude for this moment.
You're invited to express thanks for anything that you'd like to at this time.
Know that this cottony white light that is inside and around you will be present as long as it is useful for yourself.
As you practice this meditation more and more,
You and others may even feel this positive energy throughout your day.
When you're ready,
Gently move your fingers and toes and start bringing your awareness back to here and now.
Or,
If you're ready to go to sleep,
Just stretch gently and drift off to sleep.
If you're ready to wake up,
Then gently move your arms and legs and open your eyes and smile.
