Many blessings and welcome to this guided meditation on the serenity prayer and finding peace with whatever it is you are going through in your life.
Let's begin by taking a few deep breaths and softening with each exhale.
Letting each exhale be a wave of peace that softens and melts tension in your body and being as you make the choice right now to allow yourself to relax in this space in this meditation that you may breathe and soften and relax.
No matter what you've been doing today and what has transpired right here right now is a quiet refuge for your soul,
For your heart,
For your mind,
For your body and your being.
And so you might even let out a sigh to more deeply relax.
This is a safe space to be still and know and soften.
And so as you relax more and more each moment starting to settle into your heart and to the quiet place inside yourself that underneath all the noise and including your own mental noise is a quiet peaceful place.
It's a deep and beautiful stillness.
See if you can find that place beneath the thoughts and as you feel the quiet and the silence and the peace that is there,
Let yourself sink into it,
Relax into it.
This sacred space where you can know and feel the peace,
The peace of the presence,
The presence of God the divine.
And in this sacred space within your heart,
You may feel,
Receive,
Repeat this prayer,
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
Letting this prayer settle into your heart and into your mind as you connect with this one,
With this presence,
With this love.
In the depths of the silence and the stillness in your own heart,
That you may feel and know this perfect peace.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
And softening into this feeling of peace and allowing yourself to simply rest in the arms of the divine.
As this prayer and awareness settles and integrates,
That you may be in the peace of serenity,
Of acceptance and courage and wisdom.
That you may have the serenity of acceptance,
Courage and wisdom.
Acceptance of the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
So that we're neither passive or overactive,
Simply clear,
Wise and aware.
And held in the arms of peace.
And in the stillness and the silence of your heart,
You may find God speaking to you.
Or perhaps you'll find a subtle knowing,
A new awareness emerges.
And in this deep space,
Clarity,
Wisdom,
Serenity,
Peace,
Acceptance,
Courage,
Are deeply present and available to you.
And you may be filled with these qualities by the creator,
Completely supported in your life.
We are never given more than we can handle.
We are simply asked to learn,
To grow,
To understand,
To change.
And that each experience provides an opportunity for profound wisdom.
God,
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
Allowing this prayer to settle into your heart ever more deeply so that it's available to you throughout your days and your nights.
That you may remember this quiet place in your heart you can always return to and feel and know and be with your creator.
And that you may take strength and acceptance and courage and wisdom from this place.
Thank you for your beautiful presence and for sharing this time with me.
And as you slowly and gently bring your awareness back to the room that you're in,
Keeping this deeper feeling of peace with you.
May serenity fill and surround you.
Many,
Many blessings.
