Welcome to the call within.
Breathe,
Dear one.
Feel the soft pulse of the air as it enters.
Let its sweetness drip into your chest.
Let it guide you.
Know that right now there is nowhere else to be other than right here in this moment.
With my voice,
With your breath,
And with your inner drum.
Let it whisper to you now,
As it always does,
This sacred drum that has been with you from the very beginning.
A cosmic beat,
A continuous rhythm.
This is the voice,
The whisper,
The language of your heart.
Its loving pulse knocking gently at your chest,
Urging you to listen,
To remember,
Dear one,
The wisdom that you carry.
The inner reachings of your vibrant heart that has witnessed every joy,
Every sorrow.
It carries the weight of your pain,
Remembers every tear that fell like raindrops down your cheeks.
Every sob,
Every frown,
Every laugh that rang like music through the chambers of your soul.
It holds the truth,
Every echoed emotion.
And with all that it carries,
It still beats,
It still beats,
It still beats for you,
My love.
Place your hands on your chest and feel its whisper.
Let it get louder under your palms.
Feel how this drum has carried you from the womb to this very moment.
All that it has faced,
All that you have faced,
And yet your heart still beats.
It beats as a gift,
A gift for you,
Dear one.
A gift that asks for nothing in return,
Apart from that you listen,
That you feel the rhythm of your soul,
That you pay attention to the inner whispers of your heart,
Telling you,
I will beat for you,
You will be okay.
Tonight,
I am here to remind you of how brave you are,
How loving you are.
I will beat for you,
Even in times when you forget my melody.
Even when you feel broken,
Or you think that I am broken,
I will still beat for you.
Even when the world bears heavy on your shoulders,
Or it feels that a force is gripping your chest,
Or when your mind tells you all hope is lost,
Or grief is a cloud too thick and too dark to move through,
I will whisper my love.
I will beat for you.
I will carry you,
Continue when you can't,
Until you come back to me once more.
Do you know this,
Beloved one?
Your heart has always known the rhythm of love.
It tells you every day,
In every moment,
In every beat.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
It cannot break,
Even in heartbreak.
It is not broken,
It is carrying you through the storms,
Galloping,
Galloping to brighter days ahead.
Your heart is anahata in Sanskrit,
Meaning unstruck,
A sound that's never played,
A drum that's never drummed,
A cosmic rhythm just for you,
Your song to dance to.
It echoes within the depths of your being,
Untouched it resonates,
Reverberates,
A constant reminder that love,
The truest love is ever present,
Is loving you.
Your body is not against you,
Dear one,
Nor is this wondrous and messy life,
All is rooting for you,
Wanting you to live,
To thrive,
To remember,
To rise.
Dance to the song of your unique heart,
Beloved,
For that is all that's being asked of you,
To listen to the whisper of your inner heart that says,
Love is always loving you.
Love is always loving you.
Love is always loving you.
Know this and rest as such.
This heart of yours is not fragile,
But vast.
It is not tainted by the pain it has endured,
Nor limited.
It is unfathomable in depth,
With an infinite capacity to love,
A gentleness that is a marker of strength.
Know this,
Remember this.
The heart is one of the first organs to form in the sanctuary of the womb,
Before the hands and feet,
Before the eyes.
It is the heart that stirs life,
Before even breath.
It awakens to the pulse of existence.
It has always been with you,
Whispering its sweet song,
Reminding you it's okay.
What does it whisper now?
It whispers,
You are safe,
You are loved,
And you are whole.
And you are oh so worthy,
Dear one.
It whispers,
I am connected to the beat of the cosmic knowing.
I am brave and I am courageous.
I am and always have been enough.
Your precious heart is boundless,
For your heart knows no limits.
It can love beyond time,
Beyond distance,
Beyond death.
There is no shadow that can silence your heart song.
Even when it feels like the pain is too deafening,
Underneath it all,
It's still beating,
Still beating,
Still beating.
You are the dance between light and shadow,
Between laughter and tears,
Between joy and sorrow.
You are the melody between the beat and the silence.
Held safe in this movement,
In this rhythm,
You are safe in the knowing that your heart,
In all of its sacredness,
Holds you,
Guides you,
Loves you,
No matter the journey.
Breathe now into your heart and exhale anything you want to release.
And listen to the quiet spaces within.
Hear the wisdom that you are always held in the eternal beat of life.
And when the storms come,
Or your heart feels burdened,
Remember,
My heart knows how to heal,
Knows how to expand,
How to beat,
And how to continue.
Each time I stop to listen to it is a step toward the infinite love that is always residing right here in my chest.
You are not broken,
Dear one.
You have just forgotten your own heart song.
You are now remembering.
Remember the beat of your heart.
Remember the strength it carries.
Remember its capacity to love so deeply,
After all it's been through.
Let it carry you home to your sacredness.
Rest now,
Let your hands rest,
And breathe deep.
I will leave you with this,
My dear one.
Let your heart guide you.
Let its whispers be your compass.
Let its beat be the rhythm of your life.
Let it be a gift,
The sacred truth,
The reminder that love is always loving you.
And that your love is needed in this world.
