Guided by breath, light, and love, you’ll imagine yourself surrounded by infinite support—seen and unseen—and extend this compassion to all beings. Rest into your natural wisdom and know: you are not alone.

This meditation is inspired by the book Tara,

The Liberating Power of the Female Buddha by Rachel Wooten.

Sit in a comfortable seat with your spine lengthening,

Sit bones rooted into the earth.

Feel the warmth in your body and in your heart,

And notice the natural flow of your breath.

Imagine warm light within your heart,

Expanding out into the spaciousness of blue sky,

And know that you are not alone.

Imagine yourself surrounded by friends,

Loved ones,

Supporters,

And their friends,

And continue further until you've imagined an infinite number of beings,

All receiving natural warmth,

Light.

Feel the love all around you.

Settle into the breath.

Follow the natural inhale and exhale.

Wish for the happiness and the end of suffering for all beings.

Wish for the equanimity and freedom of heart and mind,

Love and wellness for all beings,

Seen and unseen.

Rest and relax into the open spaciousness of awareness and allow your thoughts to flow along.

Feel into everything that you are without descriptions.

Feel into the warmth and comfort of your heart and the entire expansiveness of the universe.

Know that you are not alone.

Rest in the spaciousness of heart and mind for as long as you feel comfortable.

Namaste.
