In a world that is growing in hate,
Separation and destruction,
Come back to love.
When your mind is focused upon scarcity,
Resentment or worry,
Come back to love.
When your spirit dwindles and you can't see the light,
Come back to love.
When you feel misunderstood by others,
Come back to love.
When you feel judgment towards yourself,
To others and the world,
Come back to love.
You were made in love.
You were born into and as love.
Pure,
Whole,
Complete.
But in the journey of life,
Events may have happened that left you lacking the sense of love and wholeness that you once felt as a child.
Those events caused fear and from this fear,
Beliefs in lack and limitation were born.
And the belief in lack and limitation caused attachment.
Attachment to people,
To things,
To outcomes.
So love is no longer unconditional and instead it is believed that love could only be given and or received according to a set of certain conditions.
In truth,
There isn't lack or limitation.
They are only concepts created in the mind as a survival mechanism due to memories of trauma,
Pain or uncertainty.
When we feel that love must be conditional or that we are not enough to be loved as we are,
That's our reminder to return to our hearts.
And with what is happening around us,
Now is the time to stay centered and open.
So rather than focusing upon and thereby breeding negativity,
Let's turn our attention inwards,
Back to our existence itself and what it truly means to be a human.
And we can do that instantly,
Moving away from fear as we sink back to the heart and into the truth.
Stay with me in this meditation as we connect back into our heart space and open,
Removing the distortions of lack,
Limitation and separation.
So begin seated comfortably and close down the eyes.
Turn your attention inwards,
Noticing any sensations in the body and allow any thoughts to dissipate like clouds in a vast open blue sky.
Just stay here with yourself in this space.
Notice the gentle flow of your breath in and out,
In and out,
Receiving and giving,
Taking in breath from the earth and releasing it back out.
A continuous flow in harmony with life,
With existence,
With all that is.
Can you notice how you are receiving in every moment from the universe?
Can you feel the abundance of life that flows through you in every second of every day?
Your heart continuously beats.
Your cells renew and restore.
Your organs enable your body to function.
Your legs allow you to walk,
To run,
To dance.
Your hands allow you to hold,
To feel,
To touch.
Your mouth allows you to speak,
To taste,
To smile,
To kiss.
And along with all of these functions which enable your experience from within,
Can you bring your awareness to the universe which surrounds your being?
The sun,
Which forever beams its light and continuously creates and sustains life,
Whether you can see it or not.
Nature,
The beauty of the flowers,
The plants,
The trees,
Also sustaining our own very life through the process of photosynthesis.
The waters of the earth which make up the majority of our very own being,
Allowing us to move with fluidity and flow.
The air,
The invisible wind which gently caresses us as a reminder that we are held and we contain the very life force energy which flows within the universe as our own breath.
The universe is you.
You are not separate.
You are it all.
You are the constant flow of life,
Giving and receiving in every moment,
Breath to breath,
Heartbeat to heartbeat.
So breathe in this life which is you.
Breathe in the love which is you.
And I invite you to bring your awareness to your heart centre and stay here as you breathe.
And feel.
Allow yourself to open,
To expand.
Melt into the miracle of your being,
The miracle of this life.
Stay here,
And as you emerge back into the world,
I invite you to stay open.
You don't need to sit in meditation to keep your heart open.
The true experience is in staying open during your day to day life.
Can you remain open while in the presence of others?
Could you offer a simple smile,
A word or even a silent prayer of goodwill?
Because when you emit love,
You create a ripple effect out into the world and as within,
So without.
You shall receive the love back unto yourself exponentially.
May you be the love you wish to see in the world.
