Hello,
And welcome to today's meditation.
As much as we try and avoid them,
Dark times are an inevitable part of life.
Sometimes,
When we're in the midst of it,
It feels like there's no escaping the darkness.
In those times,
Hope may seem to slip right through our fingers.
What do we do when all seems lost?
Throughout human history,
And in our own individual lives,
There have always been good times and bad times.
The only constant is change,
And we know that however bleak the situation may seem,
It will not last forever.
But how do we get through these challenging times?
Where can we look to find the light and strength to continue onward?
The truth is,
The light is you.
Continuing to live in a world that is often hard.
Continuing to grow in the face of obstacles.
Continuing to believe in goodness,
Even when others have turned their backs on it.
That is the light you are giving to the world.
Don't worry if it feels like it's not enough.
The light of a single soul can change the course of history.
Your light is no less precious and powerful.
Take a deep breath in,
And out.
Again,
In,
And out.
In the center of your chest,
Imagine a small light.
It is glowing gently,
Warming you from the inside.
As you say these affirmations,
Watch as your light grows brighter and brighter.
I am a light in this world.
My light cannot be extinguished.
I am powerful.
My light is ever-growing.
I am a force for good.
Hope lives within me.
I believe in the power of goodness.
I believe in the power of truth.
I believe in the power of light.
The light in your chest is growing,
Filling up your chest,
Filling up your body.
It warms and soothes you,
Chasing away the darkness within.
It continues to expand until the whole space around you is filled with light.
You are encapsulated in a giant sphere of light.
You are light.
You are hope.
You are goodness.
That is your nature,
And nothing can change it.
As you go forth into your day,
Remember that your inner light is always there when you need it.
You just need to let it shine.
Thank you for joining me today.
May your day be filled with peace and love.
