A very big Aloha.
My name is Reverend Cindy Palos and I want to talk about how we should allow a lot of space to expand our consciousness and to bring that into our everyday living.
You know it's interesting because what happens,
Well I'm recording this right as we get past Thanksgiving and getting ready for Christmas,
And what happens is people start getting very busy,
Trying to do shopping and get everything ready for Christmas,
Right?
And truthfully in the Hawaiian tradition,
This is called Makahiki time,
This is time when you stop doing a lot of stuff,
This is a time when you go inside and you rebuild,
You fix things,
You get things quiet,
You don't do as much,
You know,
Outside.
And it's interesting because we do the exact opposite in Western culture.
We consider it to be a very busy time where you have to do a lot of shopping and getting a lot of preparation.
And it's kind of against the feeling that you're really supposed to have for Christmas,
Which is allowing that love and that sharing and that lovely energy that you have at this time of year.
To be able to have that energy and that blessing of friends,
Family,
And also the internal energy that comes,
It's such a gift that you can tune into that energy in meditation,
In quiet time.
And it's so important to be able to have that as your resource,
You know,
The resource to go to that feeds your soul,
That feeds your heart,
That gives you the inspiration,
The true meaning you really wish to have in life.
It's priceless.
It's truly one of the greatest gifts is to be able to just take the time to allow yourself this precious energy of meditation,
Of going within,
Of just being present,
You know,
Without the stress that happens when you're supposed to be doing a lot of things.
So I'm not going to talk a lot.
I'm just going to kind of do this time in meditation with you,
Which I just love doing.
And we always take the time by just being quiet,
Kind of breathing,
And allowing the whole body to be aligned as we breathe.
Breathing in and holding the breath,
Getting everything aligned in the spine and breathing out,
Releasing that ah breath,
Just breathing,
No pressure,
Just this time of being here now.
And allow that lovely energy of your soul's present to be completely surrounding you with a wonderful protective white light above you,
And through you,
And below you,
And in front of you,
And behind you,
Either side of you.
So you're in this wonderful field of positive white light energy.
And just go into your breathing again,
Just allowing yourself to go deeper and deeper with each breath,
Going deeper within.
Ah,
Bird outside calling.
And as we go deeper within,
Allow that part of your heart,
That deepest part of your heart,
To expand with love.
This is the time of year you're supposed to allow that love to be shared,
To be able to be present and connected to the source of all love.
So let yourself go deep,
Deep,
Deep within that love.
It's one of the greatest gifts you can have,
To be able to be here now with that love,
That loving awareness.
What a gift this love is.
It's a time of the season for love.
And it's a time of the season for loving,
To share that love in special ways,
Not necessarily with monetary gifts,
But with just that love that you have with others that you care about.
Just allow that love to fill your entire being.
Allow yourself to love yourself.
Allow yourself to believe that love is worthy in you.
You are worthy of this love.
You are a precious being of light and love.
Allow that love to expand and expand and expand above you as you go into that highest place within.
Allow your soul to be with you now,
Filling your whole being with love.
Your soul is with you to guide you and to be present with you.
Allow that soul to speak to you.
What would that soul say to you?
What would the soul wish you to know?
Open that doorway to the soul's presence.
And allow that love to grow and grow and go to that place where the source of that love is.
The source of that beingness comes from the source of all love,
The source of all light,
The source of your very existence.
Allow yourself to expand and expand and experience that unconditional love.
Breathing it in and being grateful for it.
Breathing it in and sending it out to someone you love.
A Christmas gift of sorts.
The gift of love.
Now,
Take the time to let that love grow.
And send that love out to the world as a Christmas gift to the world.
Send it out to the places in the world that need that love.
Unconditional love.
Unconditional love means love that is unconditional.
Without you putting any conditions on it.
How beautiful is this love?
What a great gift.
What a great gift.
Allow that love to come back to you again a hundredfold.
Feel this love expanding as you receive that love back.
And give yourself that inner strength that you need to live with this love and to share this love that you have with others.
It's so beautiful to be able to let someone know that you appreciate,
And you care,
And you love them.
It's a beautiful gift.
So,
Take the time to come back and make that time to allow yourself to share that love.
And think of what a great gift this is.
What a precious gift sharing love is.
Who would you wish to share that love with?
Take some action and actually follow up and share that love with someone.
You will be amazed how good you can make someone feel when you share that love with them.
I send you my deepest love and appreciation and gratitude.
Deep,
Deep gratitude for being there.
For being present.
For allowing yourself this precious energy of love.
God bless you always.
