As humans,
We are wired for desire,
To want,
To explore,
To grow,
And to learn.
And that is all good,
Because life is meant to be expansive,
Evolving.
But somewhere along the line,
Most of us learn that life is a struggle,
That we must find the next goal,
The next hill to climb.
And there is little or no space to stop and simply be.
But it's in those moments of stillness,
When we loosen our grip,
Step back,
Relax,
And release,
That is often when things begin to shift in our lives.
Surrender is innate,
And every human being has a light within them.
A light,
A connection,
To our Creator,
Divine Source.
When we make space for the higher power to operate in our lives,
We make space for our own inner wisdom to shine and guide us.
So let's take a few moments to cultivate and connect with that source within.
A place where we are loved and whole,
Simply because we are human.
So get comfortable.
You can close your eyes or lower your gaze.
And whether you're sitting in a chair or lying down,
Feel the points of contact beneath your body,
Supporting you.
The earth below that surface,
That is steady,
Solid,
Always there.
Now take a deep,
Full breath in.
Just feel your lungs all the way to the top.
And then let it go.
Now take a few of these breaths in your own pace and time,
In whatever way that allows you to fully arrive in this moment.
Now as you start to feel your body settle,
Let the body breathe itself.
Bring to mind something you're working towards.
Could be a challenge or a change in your life.
Move your focus to the top of your head.
And imagine a white light shining down,
Just entering your body through the crown of your head.
Feel the energy around your eyes,
Loosening the tiny muscles in your forehead,
Warming your skull,
Loosening your jaw.
Allow this light to travel down into your chest,
Your heart center.
And from that space,
Feel this light radiating through your entire body as it moves down your arms,
Your hands,
Fingertips.
Feel it move into your solar plexus,
Your belly.
Let it sink down into your hips,
Loosening anything that is tight in your body.
Feel the light in your thighs,
Your knees,
Calves,
Your ankles,
Through your feet and through the your toes.
This energy is alive and it is love.
It is here,
Always here,
Always available to support us,
To guide us when we trust and open ourselves to receive it.
We are not meant to take this journey alone.
And we know in our soul that we are light,
That we are connected to a greater light,
A greater power.
When we welcome this light into our lives,
Honor,
Acknowledge and trust its presence.
When we surrender,
It will guide us forward.
Thank you for meditating with me today and be well.
