Hello and welcome.
In today's meditation,
We're going to be exploring the polarities of life.
The ebbs and the flows.
The movement of complete abundance.
It's a total lack.
And being able to stay neutral through all of it.
So I invite you to get comfortable.
Take a seat or lay down.
Breathe deeply into your belly,
Making any final adjustments.
With each inhale,
Feel your belly expand.
Feel your heart and chest open.
And hold at the top of your inhale,
Being completely full of air.
And now sigh out through your mouth,
Exhaling fully and completely.
Allowing your body to completely contract.
And now hold on that exhale.
Allowing yourself to be completely empty.
And again,
Breathing in,
Pausing at the top.
And now take in a few extra sips of breath.
And hold.
Remember that you can always get fuller than you think you can.
And release fully.
Sigh it all out with your exhale.
Try and push out that last millimetre of air before holding on your exhale completely empty.
Inhale again,
Allowing your breath to return to normal.
Knowing that to be completely full.
Knowing that once you are completely full,
You have to completely empty.
Know that you are more capable of anything than you imagined.
That just like the breath,
The ebbs and flows of life is a natural cycle.
That you can't hurry.
The more excitement,
The more love,
The more pleasure that you experience in your life.
It means that there is more pain.
But that's okay.
Because it will pass.
Nothing in this life is permanent.
And if anything seems like it's too overwhelming,
Realise that it too will pass.
That this is just a moment,
A blip on your radar.
Knowing that each day starts at midnight,
Which is complete darkness.
And only then does the dawn,
The light break,
Before again ending the day in darkness.
So if you are going through a moment of lack,
A moment of darkness in your life,
Know it is not forever.
The dawn is coming.
So stay,
Know that you are safe,
And look for the lessons that you are learning right now.
You are not able to learn everything when you are in full capacity.
Sometimes it is the struggle that we go through that makes us who we truly are.
The experiences we wouldn't wish on others give us the strength and the courage within us that we love.
You are stronger and more capable than you ever thought possible.
Warriors are forged in the darkness.
You are the incredible,
The capable,
The knowledgeable,
The empathetic and the loving person that you are because of this.
Because of the times and the wounds that you were shown,
You now are able to give love to people in a way that you weren't.
And that is your gift.
You don't have to be grateful for it,
Especially not initially.
But in this life,
These trials and these tribulations that you face are because you are strong enough.
Because you can find the light in the darkness,
And you can lead others through that.
You can lead others to a path they never knew possible,
They never knew possible,
And they never knew existed because you had to forge it yourself.
And then when the day breaks,
The abundance falls to you,
The joy and the happiness return to your soul.
You are willing to share,
You are willing to teach,
You give everything that you have to everyone,
Knowing there is always more for you.
You savour what you have,
Knowing this light won't last forever either.
You are able to flow with life,
Unfazed by the darkness,
Knowing it will pass.
Unfazed by the scarcity,
Knowing that you are always loved.
And you are unfazed by the abundance and the light,
Knowing that it truly doesn't change anything.
That you are always loved,
And that you are always enough.
Just like the breath,
You see the cycle,
And instead of lack or abundance,
Instead of inhale or exhale,
It's simply breath,
And life is simply life.
So breathe deeply,
Breathe with love,
The darkness will end,
The light will come,
But either way,
You will always you will always learn,
You will always be.
You are enough,
There is enough,
The cycle will always continue.
