This meditation is called expansion meditation.
And it's used with actually high performance athletes to help them connect with their best self,
What they're most capable of,
And to increase their neural networks,
The way that their brain relates to their vision and their capability.
So I wanted to bring this to you.
I use it in the trauma field,
But I wanted to bring this to you as Dharma practitioners,
As meditators,
To see if you can bring your highest aspiration and really get your body to feel it and to see it.
Beginning the meditation with creating an idea and a felt sense of what would you most want for yourself.
If I could wave a magic wand and give you X,
Whatever you most want for yourself,
Spiritually,
Emotionally,
What would it be?
See if you can formulate words around that and a felt sense in your body.
Your highest aspiration.
Really focus on that.
And there might even have been a time when you felt some of this.
Maybe if you really most want peace,
There was a time when you felt really peaceful.
So bring that time to mind.
If there was a time in the past when you really felt or even somewhat felt what was most important,
Your aspiration.
And just kind of tee that up in your body,
That memory of when you felt that.
And if you don't have that memory,
What it might feel like if you could be this way.
So really get that felt sense in your body of your aspiration.
Get it going.
See where you feel it in your body,
Where it's most predominant.
What would you be thinking?
There might be a phrase or a cognition that goes with if you were really being your best self,
This highest aspiration,
How would it feel?
What would you be thinking?
Really cueing that into your body.
And see,
Just drop in the question,
What might you need to really take this to this next level?
If you were to become this aspiration,
Just asking what might you be thinking?
What do you need for this to happen?
There might not be an answer,
But just putting the question out there.
And see if you can take this feeling,
This highest feeling of you,
Your aspiration,
And move it all the way to infinity.
See if you can make it as big as infinity,
Or as big as you can get it.
See what that feels like,
Just make it as big as infinity,
This you.
And if there's parts that get in the way,
Maybe doubting or fear,
Just let those parts be held in this infinite you.
It doesn't have to be an either or,
You can be afraid and be your infinite potential.
They can both be true.
It's an and,
Not an or.
So all parts can be welcome in this expansive you.
And just play with for a few minutes,
What it's like to be this big potential,
Your highest version of you that you seek.
Just play around with it.
Yeah,
That's you.
See what you'd be capable of here.
There were no limits to your ability to be your true self.
And we're really recharging your neural capacity here,
Your brain,
Your neurons,
To just really feel what this biggest version of you would feel like and be like.
Just explore and soak it in,
Explore it.
Take a few minutes to really feel what you'd be capable of.
Yeah.
That feels better.
And it might be we're in trouble.
We've gotowers and perhaps that's another realize you do to movies and everyday work flows.
Not only infinite you,
But what if this was eternal and infinite?
You You Just feeling that,
Soaking it in.
Your eternal infinite capabilities.
You And is there anything that you need to know about taking this to this next level?
Again,
Dropping that question in.
To embody and live this,
Anything that is needed.
You And there might be other spiritual beings here,
Guides.
Let's see if there's anyone here that might have a message for you or to support you in being your big,
Complete self.
And if there is a spiritual being here looking in their eyes,
Just taking in.
There's more information for you about embodying your bigness.
You Maybe there's a gift to put into your heart or your body or a phrase for you to remember so you can be this vast,
Eternal you.
Just see if anything comes.
And if not,
That's fine,
Too.
Staying open.
What do you need to embody completely what you most desire and aspire to?
You.
You.
You.
And taking just a few more minutes to just really soak this in and wear it and be it,
Infinite,
Eternal.
Your true nature,
Your birthright.
If this was inevitable,
Was inevitable,
You would be this.
Just relaxing into that inevitability for a few minutes and trusting your fullness.
Letting all the cells of your body connect in.
Relax.
Your birthright.
You can come all the way back home.
You can come all the way back home.
You can come all the way back home.
You can come all the way back home.
You can come all the way back home.
And just like athletes do,
Making a commitment,
A vow,
Or an intention to return to this,
It is you,
But making that commitment to cultivate this,
To check in with it,
To remember this,
And just setting that intention now to whatever degree feels right for you.
Our commitment to be our infinite nature.
That's a gift to the world and to you as the world.
So dropping that intention and that commitment in your body.
And if there were any spiritual beings or guides here thanking them,
Taking whatever they gave you with you,
Bringing it back into the human suit and the human game and world that we find ourself in even though we are infinite nature.
We still have to play our character.
So bringing whatever gifts with you and your intentions.
And then lastly,
Dedicating the merit or the benefit of connecting with our expansive nature,
Dedicating that to all beings.
May all beings know their true nature.
May all beings know what they're truly capable of.
Thank you.
