Welcome to this meditation to help release some of the collective grief that you've been carrying in your heart.
Begin to place both hands over your sternum,
Over your chest.
Just begin to acknowledge this heaviness that not only you but many of us are carrying from the losses from war,
Climate,
Illness,
Just begin to acknowledge this happiness on your chest.
Letting this heaviness know that it's okay that you're here.
But I'm also here to help you move through me.
Let's help this heaviness move through you by beginning to breathe deeply into your belly in for 4 3 2 1 holding here and sighing it out for 6 5 4 3 2 1 inhaling for 4 3 2 1 holding you and sighing everything out for 6,

Let's do our final inhale for 4,

Holding here and sighing everything out for 6,

Amazing job.
Now bring your awareness to your heart and begin to picture your heart as this beautiful luminous bright white light.
With each exhale.
You send a ripple of compassion outward.
To your street,
To your city.
Your country.
And maybe even to the entire world.
Inhaling in light.
Exhaling out compassion.
Inhaling in love.
And exhaling out peace.
Begin to do this on your own for the next minute.
With this beautiful compassion.
That you are sending out.
To your street,
Your city,
Your country or even maybe the entire world.
Know that someone out there is also sending that.
Back to you.
Feel yourself held.
In the web.
Of shared humanity.
Of shared goodness.
Know that you are not alone.
If collective grief feels overwhelming,
I offer guided support.
You can find more information in the description.
But for now,
Thanks for taking care of yourself today.
I'm rooting for you.
