Meditation.
Settle back.
And close your eyes too Relax down into wherever you are.
Breathe in.
.
.
And breathe out.
Take another lovely,
Deep breath in… and release and relax.
And one more time,
Breathing in.
And out.
And just find your own comfortable pace of breathing in and breathing out and rest.
And let go.
Just be here,
And just be you.
Within you lays the truth.
Within you lays your own story.
That perhaps has not yet been read.
Or even written.
Do we forget?
Or are we forgotten?
Are we existing for us or for them?
What is it you want?
What can you remember?
Or have you forgotten?
Are you lost?
What are you found?
Where are you?
Who are you?
Can you remember?
Forgotten dreams,
Abandoned needs,
A lost way.
Will you ever?
Get home.
Lives lived for others.
Dreams become nothing but a distant memory.
The back we reside.
Others ahead.
Quietly fading.
Don't fade.
Don't forget.
You were meant to be alive.
You're meant to be you.
We forget,
Don't we?
We forget ourselves and live for others.
But you are meant to live for you You're meant to put yourself at the front of your world.
You are the most important person in that world.
If you weren't here,
The world wouldn't have you And we need you.
You must listen.
Or inside of you there is a scream.
You must listen,
For inside of you there is a calling.
The calling echoes to the outer edges of you.
It ripples through your bloodstream.
Reminding you that within you,
You.
All that.
And that.
Within you.
Is home.
Do you give everything you have to give away?
Do you focus on external shoulds and expectations created by others?
Do you feel lost in a world where things just don't meet your needs?
Is something missing for you?
Maybe you're not sure what's missing.
Perhaps you look around and think you should have it all.
But somewhere inside there is a breakage.
A missing piece.
What's missing?
And this isn't because those around you aren't enough,
Or don't love you,
Or appreciate every single part of you.
This is because you don't love you.
You've forgotten.
That you are enough.
And do you matter?
You have forgotten to exist.
You've forgotten.
Tonight.
Within you is a world.
Undiscovered.
Uncovered.
You are so beautiful.
You are like when spring arrives after the darkest of winters.
You are like the sun after a total eclipse.
You will be found again.
And you will rise.
And it may be soft and gentle.
Like falling blossom which floats on a breeze on a warm spring day.
Or like thunder.
Colliding return.
As cold meets the warmth.
Whichever way you find yourself back home will be what you need.
It can be easier to stand behind and support.
Instead of being in front.
And supported.
It's easier to accept that you will never be the person you thought you were going to be.
It's easier to accept that you simply exist for others,
To help them with their dreams and to forget your own.
Is that everything you'd hoped for?
If recalling you ever had was now simply impossible?
Have you given up?
Have you forgotten?
We let what we need go.
We let what we want go.
We put it away and we push it down.
And there were lost.
Lost within a feeling of underwhelm.
And forever.
Never whole.
Did you forget?
Or have you forgotten?
That you matter.
Listening to me you matter.
You are enough.
You were not.
You are so precious and we need you You need you.
You matter.
It's time to go home.
To go inside and find yourself.
It's time to see that you have the ability to offer yourself what you're searching for.
You have your very own answers.
And they're closer than you think.
They're within you.
Around you are layers upon layers of shoulds and expectations.
And wanted emotional irregularities and an unexplainable depth of imbalance.
But within you is the calmest of oceans.
The deepest of seas.
Fast and still.
Your ocean inside holds the stillness.
Waiting just for you to make a ripple upon its silent surface.
Your own ocean.
Is waiting for you to recognize your true depth.
To recognize your beauty as the sun showers a million diamonds onto the surface.
Your reflection is bright enough to guide and show you that you hold it all.
That you are within.
That you are a part of everything is everything.
Is a part of you.
Like a rose.
In the center of summer,
Wrapped in layers and layers of petals.
The center core protected.
But within you is the magic.
Essential self.
Is everything.
As humans,
We're surrounded by the layers of sheds and woods and defy cuts.
So much so,
That we forget what's in the middle of us.
We forget.
Our centers.
But we can no longer see.
We can no longer feel.
We can no longer hear our whispers from within.
So let's begin to peel away those layers and find who's been waiting inside.
And I wonder.
.
.
If you can imagine laying in the centre of a beautiful golden yellow rose.
Safe and supported.
Freeing and beautiful,
Feeling good.
The air is fresh and flowing.
And this moment is for you.
Before you were born.
You were you.
Nothing was added.
Nothing was taken away.
You had an unwavering trust.
Bound within you to receive what you needed.
When you were born,
You listened.
You listened to yourself.
You listened to yourself when you were hungry?
You listened to yourself when you needed love and closeness You cried and you received.
When you were born,
Your needs were just for love,
Comfort and food.
But as you start to grow in the world and find your place.
You realized.
The what you knew to be true for you.
Wouldn't be enough.
And you were expected to want,
Need,
And become more.
And there you were given more.
And then you need it more.
Your needs began to grow.
And you moved away from what you needed inside.
And you began to want what you could see on the outside.
When you couldn't get what you wanted on the outside?
And your kind of discomfort was experienced.
As needs became external,
All your internal needs would no longer be met.
Just covered over with a blanket of external expectations.
You saw that to fit in externally,
You had to conform in a certain way.
Even if it brought you internal discomfort.
But over time you start recognising this.
As a discomfort from within.
As a signal got ignored.
And it became weaker.
Each time it wasn't hit.
And got easier.
Not to hear.
In this moment of meditation.
We peel back the layers of all that's been added.
But don't worry.
Or you can add back whatever you want.
We do this so you can see that within you is more than you ever knew,
More than you could ever imagine.
Within you is a soul with the depth of the deepest ocean,
A voice that wants to be heard.
And you.
Ready to be brought back to life.
Each petal around you represents layers of all that you have gathered throughout the passing time.
And as you think of all of those things you've gathered.
We gently peel them back.
And as we do.
The yellow rose that you are within.
Gets lighter and lighter.
As the sun around you gets brighter and brighter.
And within.
That brightness.
We find you.
When you were born.
You were given a name.
A beautiful name.
Given through love.
For this meditation.
Let go of your name.
Peel that layer back.
Let your name go.
On the yellow petal.
And allow it to float away.
Feel the you with no name.
Now you have an age.
But what if you didn't?
What if you let it go?
And for now and in this time,
Have no age.
No number attached to you.
Just you.
So release your petal and your age.
And watch.
As it just drifts away.
And drifts off.
When you were growing up.
You were given an education.
To help guide you along the way.
To show you a path to follow,
To encourage you to do things that have been set out before you.
But for this moment in time.
Let go of your education.
Heal the lies of education away.
Just let it go for now.
And feel the you with no learned education.
Perhaps you have a job.
Maybe you love it,
Maybe you don't.
Peel that layer away of job responsibility.
And see who is within.
Your family filled with love or perhaps challenging.
Temporarily peel that layer away.
So that you are just with you for this moment.
If you have a home,
Release your home.
Allow it to go with the responsibilities it comes with to keep your home.
Heal the light and be without.
And see how it feels without that there if you have transport,
Release your transport Let go of any financial responsibilities that you have.
Put them to one side Let that layer peel back.
Any problems that you have.
They serve nothing to you right now.
They are just thoughts.
Heal the layer away and let them go.
You don't need them right now Any thoughts you have that cause you discomfort,
Gather them up and peel away that layer.
But now you don't need them.
And just notice how much lighter the rose is getting.
As the petals are thinned.
Let go of any regrets you have,
Because they will offer you nothing but a thought.
Regrets about anything do not change anything,
Because it cannot be changed.
They arrive only as pockets of self-punishment.
If you think of a child's mind.
They do not linger.
They do not linger in a thought.
They let go.
So you can remember how you once used to let go of guilts and regrets and punishments if there are old relationships that have caused you pain.
Take this time to peel away the residual hurt.
And offer yourself the release that can arrive when you accept that some things were not ours.
Some things were not meant for us.
They were not ours.
Just learnings.
Feel it away.
And let go.
Now,
As I pause for a moment in time,
Just think Is there anything else that hurts?
Is there something else upon you that causes pain and upset?
Frustration and anger.
And if there is?
Take the time now.
To let it go.
To release it.
And peel back the layer.
In which covers you.
Welcome home.
It's okay You're okay.
You're safe I'm here.
Take my hands if you want.
This is you.
You are a gift.
See yourself.
Be seen.
You've been waiting.
We've been waiting too.
You were a promise sent.
It's time to feel what true love feels like.
It's time to reconnect and offer your truth to you.
It's time to start living your life as you wish.
For you.
Be your light.
Life has called you home.
You are in the center core of you.
Feel the lightness.
Embrace the brightness,
The beautiful light,
The gold and yellow,
The you,
The version of you you've been searching for.
Just feel how you are.
Feel who you are.
Who is within.
Who are you with nothing added?
You are incredible.
Beyond the layers,
Beyond the things that you've added.
Affection.
You always have been perfection.
Nothing within you.
Needs fixing.
See who you are.
Feel who you are.
Be you.
Be the person you know you are.
Allow the person that's being kept within to arrive at the forefront of your world.
Be your world.
You are everything wanted and needed.
Embrace everything that your world wants to give you.
Be focused on you,
For that enables you to enjoy the outer world so much more.
Because when you are happy and shining on the inside.
Everything else.
It feels good.
Everything feels better.
You become your own light of your own life.
You are so worthy of your own life.
You are wanted.
You are enough.
You always have been.
And you always will be.
Namaste.
