Welcome,
Love.
This meditation invites you into the heart of Ratha,
Goddess of devotion,
Love,
And sacred longing.
Her energy is soft,
Radiant,
And soul-stirring.
She teaches us that longing is not something to fix.
It's something to feel,
To open to,
To love.
So let's begin by gently closing your eyes.
Find a comfortable seat or recline softly.
Take a deep breath in through your nose,
And exhale out through your mouth.
Again,
Inhale presence,
And exhale distraction.
One more time,
Inhale love,
And exhale anything that's closed your heart.
Allow your breath to settle.
Bring your awareness to your heart space.
No need to force anything.
Just place your attention there.
Feel your breath moving in and out of your chest like a tide.
This is your sacred space of connection,
Longing,
And love.
Now imagine a soft pink or golden light gently glowing in your chest.
Warm,
Tender,
And expansive.
This is Ratha's energy awakening in you.
She doesn't ask you to be anything other than open.
To simply be with what your heart is already holding.
Now imagine yourself walking through a lush garden at sunset.
Everything is blooming.
The air smells sweet.
You hear soft music in the distance.
A melody your soul somehow remembers.
As you follow the sound,
You come to a quiet,
Open space.
And there she is,
Ratha.
She is graceful,
Luminous,
And full of love.
Her eyes shimmer with longing,
But not sorrow.
Her longing is holy,
Devotional,
Alive.
She smiles at you,
Not with answers,
But with recognition.
She sees your tender heart.
She sees the beauty in your longing.
She invites you to sit beside her and just feel.
Feel whatever aches in your heart.
Whether it's love you miss,
Connection you crave,
Purpose,
Peace,
Or something you can't even name.
Let it rise up within you now.
Let it breathe.
This is not pain to push away.
This is your soul reaching for what is real.
And Ratha gently places her hand on your heart.
And she whispers,
Your longing is sacred.
Let it lead you home.
Repeat these words softly or in your heart.
I allow myself to feel.
I honor the longing in my heart.
My desire is a path to the divine.
I am open to love.
I trust the sacred unfolding of my heart.
Let these words settle deep into your chest.
Like soft petals resting in your heart.
Now bring to mind one thing you are longing for.
Not from a place of grasping,
But from a place of truth.
A longing that lights something deep within you.
Hold it in your heart.
Not to chase it,
But to honor it.
Let it be a prayer.
Let it be enough.
Take a deep,
Full breath in.
And a soft,
Steady breath out.
Begin to return to your body.
Wiggle your fingers and your toes.
Feel the earth beneath you.
And when you are ready,
Softly open your eyes.
You have sat with sacred love.
You have honored your heart.
Let Radha walk with you today.
Not just in joy,
But in the beauty of longing.
Your heart is your compass.
Follow it.
Namaste.
