Blessings.
My name is Brenda Cary of Sacred Path Healing.
My intention for this guided meditation practice for you is to open wide your heart energy so that you may be more accepting of yourself and of others along your life path so that you can receive this deep inner wisdom that you need.
So begin in your comfortable meditation seat.
You can choose to close your eyes down or keep them softly open and bringing awareness to your heart center and deeply breathe in and out through the heart.
On an inhale,
Feel your chest expand wide open and then soften on the exhale,
Releasing any tension in the chest,
Feeling that relaxation down the arms and out the fingertips.
As you continue this heart opening breathing,
We will start this journey by picturing a loved one in your mind.
This could also be a pet if you wish,
But picturing someone that is easy to accept,
That you love with all of your heart.
Feel that energy into you as you breathe in.
Maybe it even brings a smile across your lips saying thank you.
Thank you to that individual for teaching you deep love and acceptance.
And then picture a wisdom teacher in your mind.
Now a wisdom teacher is someone you could know personally or not.
Could be an author,
A spiritual teacher,
Someone who has taught you some very deep lessons about life or about the world.
And picturing that individual,
Another person that is easy to accept.
And breathing in that light energy,
Opening up the heart space and again saying thank you.
Thank you to that wisdom teacher.
And then moving on to a personal teacher.
This is someone that you would know.
This could be someone from the past like an elementary school teacher,
Maybe a person who taught you something practical like playing piano or drawing or gardening.
Picturing that person,
Someone who had taught you many life lessons and continues to do so.
Breathing in the light energy of that person to expand your heart and again saying thank you.
Thank you to that teacher.
And then shifting direction just a bit,
Picture someone that you might call a button pusher.
Maybe it was someone that rubbed you the wrong way,
Said a comment that didn't resonate with you,
But someone not quite so easy to accept.
Picture that person remembering that we are all doing the best we can with what we know and not condoning anyone's behavior.
Taking that same heart energy that you cultivated from the loved one and the teachers.
Bringing that same energy for this button pusher,
Softening the heart,
Maybe coming a bit closer to accepting them just as they are.
Not trying to fix anything,
Not trying to change it,
Just being with what is in this moment.
Deep breath in and a slow release.
And then if you'd like,
Shifting this into another individual that maybe has hurt you.
Picturing that person and once again reminding yourself that we are all doing the best we can with what we know in this moment.
Remembering that hurt people hurt people,
Not condoning,
Not trying to change or fix.
Breathing in this energy of acceptance for who that person is today.
Final deep breath in.
Filling up that heart energy with love,
Compassion,
And then finally bringing that awareness to your heart and picturing yourself.
Breathing in this loving energy of acceptance for you,
Of compassion and love for you.
Not based on what you do or even who you know.
Can you hold sacred space for the beauty of you and saying thank you.
Thank you to you with your heart wide,
Wide open.
Sending gratitude for all the teachers in your life,
All of them,
Including yourself,
Including the teachers of nature,
The universe,
Mother earth,
That are all here to support you on this human journey.
I truly,
Truly wish you a blessed life full of love and acceptance for all.
Namaste
