Welcome,
My name is Carolyn Zeal and in this meditation we will practice lesson 49 in the Course in Miracles,
God's voice speaks to me all through the day.
And please feel free to use whatever word works for you,
Whether it's God or Source or Universe or Light or Love.
I will be using in this meditation the word God.
According to the Course in Miracles,
The part of your mind in which truth abides is in constant communication with God,
Whether you are aware of it or not.
And the part that is listening to the voice of God is calm,
Always at rest and wholly certain and is really the only part there is.
In this meditation we're going to listen in,
Get still,
So that you can identify with the part of your mind where that stillness and peace reside.
So let's get comfortable,
Whether you're seated,
Legs crossed,
Back supported or lying down.
And let's start by just settling in,
Closing your eyes and moving through your body,
Relaxing,
Starting up at the crown of your head.
Just bring your attention down to your forehead,
To your eyes,
Letting them rest in the sockets,
To your cheeks,
Your lips,
Your jaw,
Releasing any grip,
Any tightness.
Moving down to your throat,
The back of your neck,
And take in a deep breath through your nose and as you exhale through your nose,
Allow your shoulders to just melt down,
Your shoulder blades melt down your back.
Moving down into your heart space,
Taking a moment,
Feeling the beat of your own heart,
The miracle of your own heart.
Moving down through your arms,
Into your hands and your fingers,
Relaxing your torso,
Stomach and back,
And your legs,
Relaxing,
Melting into the position you're in.
And take a deep breath in through your nose and sigh it out.
And just notice your breath.
Notice your breath.
And let go of any thoughts that may be floating around in your mind.
Just let go.
Release.
Let go of any sounds cluttering your mind that you hear outside.
Just let go.
Just let go.
Drop down past the inner voices,
Inner imaginings,
Anything that's covering your real connection with God.
Sink deep into the peace that waits for you beyond the frantic,
Beyond your thoughts,
Beyond your sights,
Beyond the sounds around you,
And drop down,
Drop down.
Let go.
And listen.
Listen to the voice,
God's voice,
Deep within you.
What is it saying?
Listen beyond your thoughts.
Listen to the holy thoughts that reside underneath everything else.
They reside in your heartbeat,
In your breath,
In the tiniest of movements within your body.
Listen deep.
Be still.
Listen with your heart,
And I'll let you drop in silence and connect to God's voice within you.
So listen with your heart,
And I'll let you drop in silence and connect to God's voice within your body.
This is your home.
This is your real home.
This is where peace resides within you.
And you can come here any time you like.
Just close your eyes,
Drop down,
Sink inside yourself beneath all the distractions from the outside,
The thoughts,
The busyness,
The activities to this place.
In this place you invite God's voice to speak to you.
It is here where you connect.
And remember as you move through your day,
God's voice speaks to me all through the day.
God's voice speaks to me all through the day.
God's voice speaks to me all through the day.
I'm going to leave you in this place remembering and offer you some time with yourself.
God's voice speaks to me all through the day.
Namaste.
