Namaste everybody!
Welcome to In the Flow with Lori Albert.
So yet again,
I had a whole thing planned for today.
Okay,
So I'll just tell you.
I bought something called a Shruti box.
It's kind of like a harmonium and it's kind of like a drone thing where you can meditate to it,
Right?
And I did everything last night.
You know,
I got stuff ready and everything and then I woke up this morning and guess what?
Spirit was like,
No,
Let's just relax today.
And you know what?
I got the really strong impression that I was supposed to do certain things today.
So there you go.
You know,
It's so funny because,
And I know I've said this before,
But I just,
It's,
It seems to be driven a point driven home to me so,
So often that if you just follow what spirit tells you,
What spirit wants you to do,
And don't be scared,
You know?
I mean,
Because I had stuff figured out what I wanted to say as of last night,
But then this morning I was like,
Oh,
Spirit wants me to do something else.
And guess what?
I don't have anything prepared like nothing.
But guess what?
I trust.
I trust spirit.
That's pretty,
Pretty big,
You know?
So I'm going to start off the day.
I have my Archangel Michael cards and I am shuffling them.
Seems like they,
I've been pulling the same card a lot lately,
But that's okay.
I'm going to pull this card.
Let's see what it,
Let's see what Archangel,
And this is like a,
This is like a community,
Community message,
A community message for us all.
So for today.
So,
Oh my God,
It's so beautiful.
The name of the card is Eternal Love.
Ah,
That's so sweet.
And it's,
It's like,
It's a picture of Archangel Michael and just like kind of hugging a girl,
Not in a,
Not in a boyfriend,
Girlfriend way,
But just so you know,
And just like,
I got your back kind of way,
You know?
Okay,
So the prayer is this,
Help me perceive all of the love that surrounds me so that I can feel safe receiving,
Expressing and giving love.
And oh my gosh,
Is that not exactly what I was just talking about?
Wow.
Wow.
Help me perceive all of the love that surrounds me so that I can feel safe receiving,
Expressing and giving love.
That's pretty incredible.
That's,
That's amazingly incredible.
I don't even know what to say.
I mean,
I'm,
What's the word?
Stupefied?
Not stupefied,
But like,
You know,
It's pretty important.
If we just take all the love,
I mean,
I was reading something that Krishna Das wrote last night and we have to take the love that's around us and go within.
And I think that's what that card was saying,
You know,
Just take all the love,
Everything that's around us,
All of the beauty,
All of the joy and go within and take it within.
Oh my gosh.
So amazing.
So what I want to do is meditate today.
Let's just get right into it and meditate.
Yeah,
Because we need that.
You know,
The energy from the full moon and the eclipse the other day was pretty intense.
It brought up a lot of stuff for people.
It brought out a lot of depression and sadness,
But the beautiful part about that energy is that it's like starting over.
It's like a,
An energy of rebirth.
You know,
I mean some,
When things seem to be ending,
It's not necessarily an ending,
You know,
It's a rebirth.
It's something new.
Oh,
That's so beautiful,
Right?
So,
Okay,
So let's get ourselves comfortable and get ready to meditate.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
Feeling so peaceful today.
I love that.
Feeling very peaceful and just ready to just meditate and just sit with the gorgeous energy that that is out right now.
So,
Okay,
So let's get ourselves comfortable.
You can be sitting cross-legged,
Feet on the floor,
Whatever feels the best for you.
It's not going to be the same for everybody.
Let's take a nice deep breath in through our nose and out our mouth.
Oh,
And that beautiful air and breathe it out.
Perfect.
Perfect.
And before we get started with meditating and sitting in the silence,
Let's think about those few things,
Just a few things that you know that you can be grateful for today.
What are you grateful for?
What are you absolutely thankful for in this life?
And based on what I just talked about,
About the recent full moon and eclipse in this new,
New way of being,
What are you thankful for?
It's okay to be thankful for endings.
It's okay to be thankful for beginnings.
Beautiful.
I feel so thankful that I have the ability to trust,
Trust spirit.
Because when we trust,
We know it's right.
Beautiful.
So our mantra for today is very simple because I just want it to be a simple meditation today so that we can just sit and be in our own energy.
So our mantra today is OM.
You can do this.
You can say it out loud,
Chant it,
Or you can just say it quietly and silently.
Oh,
Oh,
Oh,
Oh,
Oh,
Oh,
Oh,
Oh.
However feels right for you.
The vibration of the sound of OM allows us to understand and feel the peace,
Feel the peace throughout our entire body.
So I will keep the time.
If you lose the mantra,
If you start thinking of other things,
Or if your arm itches,
It's absolutely okay.
Just come back to the stillness and the mantra OM.
And let's begin.
OM.
OM.

Start bringing our awareness back to our bodies.
Let's take a nice deep breath in,
Filling us up with that beautiful energy that we've just meditated with.
Breathe in and release.
Whenever you feel comfortable you can open your eyes.
That beautiful relaxing energy is just what I needed today.
I don't know about you guys.
So let's take this new energy and move forward in our day.
Thanks so much for joining me as usual.
I so much appreciate each and every one of you.
So until next time,
Love you all.
Namaste.
