Very big aloha.

We are having a very good day.

I'm Cindy Paulus and I love talking to you here and taking a look and exploring what happens when you go into that inner depths of your being in meditation.

I've been meditating all my life and I really have found that meditation never stops.

The depth of meditation,

What you gain and what you can explore and what you learn through going within in meditation,

It's amazing how deep it goes.

I think that's why I love it so very much.

Because I can sit down and first of all it lets me be aware when I'm sitting of what's going on in my mind.

Because you're sitting to be quiet and to still your mind and to go within.

So you observe your thought train,

That train that your thoughts take you on.

And you observe where that is taking you,

Where it affects you and how it affects you as you slowly let go of all that and go within.

And then when you go within there's a deeper level and a deeper level and a deeper level like that onion,

You know,

You peel,

You unpeel,

You unpeel.

It keeps going to an amazing level of depth.

That's really,

It's never boring.

It's always so fascinating as you explore the interior depths of where you can go.

That's I think why I love it and I've been able to stick with it all my life.

And there's times you get inspired.

I mean I write every day after I meditate so I always write stuff down and sometimes it's really inspired and sometimes it's just there.

But it's like life,

You know,

Life isn't always the same.

There's ups and there's downs,

There's insights and there's just getting by sometimes.

But there is this ability to watch that and to explore that and to understand that and to question where is this all coming from?

Where is,

We're in the world or maybe it's not the world.

Where is this all coming from and how is this all created and how does it keep on going?

It's to me a fascinating subject and it's so beautiful to see people like you that are also exploring and understanding it.

Taking the time,

Just the time,

Which is so valuable,

The time to go within and to take a look within,

To see what's going on.

And that's why I really enjoy just being here,

To share this time,

To just go quietly within.

And I'm gonna do that right now.

I'm just gonna be comfortable and make sure my spine's sitting straightly here.

And as I breathe deeply in and just watch my breath and just take a moment to check all my energy out and put a beautiful,

Beautiful,

Brilliant white light all the way around me,

Above me,

Below me,

In front of you,

On either side of me.

Just making sure everything is in this wonderful white light and just allowing that energy,

That presence to be present.

That presence is so valuable.

It's a present,

Right?

Let that presence come with each breath.

Breathing in,

Holding,

And breathing out.

Sweeping the mind with your breath.

Breathing in,

Sitting erectly.

Ah,

Just ah,

The breath of ah.

Breathing out.

Beautiful breath.

Breathing in and out.

And as you do this,

You'll notice you're giving your mind something to do.

As you direct your mind,

It will focus on your breath in,

Holding,

Expanding,

And your breath out.

And you go deeper within,

You become more aware of what's going on.

The energy present in you.

Hearing the birds outside.

I love the birds.

It's always nice to know they're present as well.

Now,

Let your energy drive you to the awareness of expansion.

And where can you expand that inner energy to?

There's your mind,

Of course.

The mind is directing your breaths and your awareness.

There's your body awareness.

Now,

There's the soul awareness.

The energy present in the soul has got a different energy.

Can you feel the energy of your soul?

The soul works with light.

So,

Allow that light to be present in you.

The presence of the light is infinite.

The Bible said in the beginning,

Let there be light.

And that light is still here,

And it was going on so strong for so long,

And it's still here,

And it's still going to continue on.

And it is infinite as well.

That light energy is such an amazing gift,

Isn't it?

How would that light,

That energy of that infinite light,

Affect your energy in your soul?

I believe the soul is born of light.

And soul likes the light.

The soul loves the light.

The soul recognizes the gift of light.

Do you recognize that gift?

Can you align with that gift?

What a precious gift this light is.

Allow that light to expand in your consciousness.

What a wonderful gift this light is.

How do you recognize and feel this light?

And now let's allow that energy that works so beautifully with light,

That energy of love,

The love that is the source of all,

Let that love be present.

That love that is the reason for life,

The purpose in living,

The greatest gift of all,

Is the sharing and understanding of the gift of love.

You are love.

Allow that love to reach all of who you are in that gift that holds it in light.

How would you share that love in your life?

How would you share the love that you are in recognition with your whole energy field?

Do you love yourself?

Take a moment to love yourself for who you are.

Shine that light of love throughout your entire energy field.

The infinite light and love is present here in you.

Breathe it in.

Slowly come back.

Each breath a breath of light and love.

Breathing that in is energizing your entire field of consciousness,

Your body,

Your mind,

Your soul.

All charged with this light and love.

How would you share this wonderful gift with others?

Take a moment and write down what comes to you as we slowly come out of meditation.

Recognizing how beautiful this gift of light and love is.

I am so very grateful for this gift of light and love.

As I am very grateful for this light and love present in you that you share here now.

My deepest bow of gratitude and love to you.
