Question to you this morning is.
.
.
What is your soul craving?
This morning we'll dive into that question from the heart's perspective.
While also seeking the heart's wisdom on how to honor those cravings.
Allow your eyes to gently close.
Settle into your body.
And settle your body into your seat.
Taking a low,
Deep breath in.
Surrender to this present moment.
And release the breath.
Another low belly breath in.
And let go of the things you cannot change and release One more deep breath in.
Offer gratitude for the things you can change.
And release.
Now becoming present to your face this morning.
Continuing to breathe at your own pace.
And come present to the jaw.
And notice how it feels today.
Feelings of tension or ease.
Witness the Jah without judgment.
And now turning your presence to your mouth.
And doing the same,
Witnessing without judgment.
The practice of peaceful presence.
Is rooted in.
Neutrality.
No expectations.
No clinging.
No judgment.
You So allow yourself to simply be present right here,
Now.

Different parts of your body this morning.
Now becoming aware of those.
The air flowing through your nostrils.
Now the eyes.
Forehead and the eyebrows.
Now the ears and the sides and back of the head.
You you and finally the crown.

Birds chirping you And now we ask the heart.
Dear heart,
What is my soul craving?
Again the question is,
Dear heart,
What is my soul craving?
Will hold space for the next couple of minutes.
Let our hearts reply.
Being sure not to be swayed by the responses from the brain.
But letting the inner wisdom of the heart.
Be heard.
Birds chirping you you And now that the heart has communicated,
Our soul is craving.
We now ask another question.
Dear Heart.
What is.
The most aligned way.
To honor my soul's craving.
Again,
The question is.
.
.
What is the most aligned way.
To honor my souls.
Craving.
We'll take another two minutes here.
Holding space for the heart's reply.
Again breathing through any resistance from.
The egoic mind,
The brain.
And holding space for the heart.
To be heard.
For you and with a long,
Deep breath in.
Allowing your breath,
Body.
And brain to align with.
The wisdom of your heart.
Into the heart we say thank you.
For holding me through all of my experience.
For guiding me each step of the way.
Even when I wasn't present to your wisdom.
And for continuing to show me.
That in all things love is the way.
So now we close this morning's practice.
In the way of the heart.
The way of love.
Bit of metal I think.
So breathing into your heart space.
Allow the pure sensation of love to arise.
And also allow.
The image of your inner child to arise.
That early,
Innocent version of you.
Who only knew curiosity.
I want you to hold them in your arms or warm embrace.
And repeat the following phrases after me.
May you be happy.
May you be healthy.
In body,
Mind,
And spirit.
May you take care of yourself wisely.
May you be safe and protected.
And may you be peaceful.
And at ease.
Now I want you to think of is someone that you care for deeply.
It could be a family member,
A child.
Of someone else in you.
See them before you.
And now repeat the following phrases.
May you.
May you be healthy and body mine.
May you take care of yourself wisely.
May you be safe and protected.
May you be peaceful.
Now holding the sensation of pure loving kindness.
That you've cultivated for yourself and another.
I want you to envision all beings everywhere.
As you and your dearest one.
It's in that same love.
It radiates from your heart.
And your loved one's heart.
And it shines wherever you go.
To all human beings.
To all the other animals.
To all the players.
To all that have come before and all who will come after us.
So we'll take this last minute of our practice.
Feeling our divine unison as a part of all in all.
And set a conscious intention for your day.
The love,
Light,
And truth within me honors the love,
Light,
And truth.
You Namaste.
