A very big aloha.
My name is Reverend Cindy Palos,
And I want to talk about the precious gift.
Of being.
In the presence.
And being here now.
And that is something we experience so beautifully in meditation.
When we sit down.
And we align ourself and.
.
.
We breathe,
We breathe in deeply.
And we breathe out and we just bring ourselves to that.
Core,
That center of our very beingness.
And it's so interesting that a lot of times we keep our mind very busy doing,
Doing,
Doing,
Doing,
Doing.
And our life's very busy doing,
Doing,
Doing.
And there's a sacred space you can come just to be in your meditation just to be in that wonderful place within.
And it doesn't take.
Navigating.
It doesn't take.
Any kind of worry or concerns.
It just takes allowing.
That precious allowing yourself to be here now.
And that gift.
Does take courage.
And it does take awareness.
Because the mind will always be a trickster.
It will try to jump in there and it will take,
You know,
A way to distract you.
Because that's what it does,
The mind thinks and creates.
We just get past that in meditation.
You learn in time.
To that.
Get to that place where you can allow that all to pass.
And get to the core,
The presence there within.
Your very beingness.
And when you do that,
There's something very special that happens.
There's an opening.
There's an openness.
There's this.
.
.
Gift,
This precious gift.
Of energy.
And that energy.
Is limitless.
That energy is sacred.
That energy is a place where you can go.
Just allow yourself that precious gift of being here now.
And as you do this,
As you just be.
Here,
Now.
There's this transformation that kind of comes on its own.
You don't have to do anything.
You don't have to worry about it.
It just is there.
And you know what?
It's always there.
It's there when you wake up.
It's there when you go to sleep.
It's always there.
Now,
There's always going to be drama.
And events in life that will.
Wish you and kind of bring you in to engage in.
But you can always come back.
To just being here now.
So let's just be here now.
Let's just take this precious moment.
The sacred time.
To just.
Allow that opening.
Of now.
To be here.
With you.
And we just allow that energy to come.
You might first be aware of your.
.
.
Noise or whatever's going on.
I'm hearing birds outside.
A little bit of wind.
And as I hear the birds.
I'm aware of the energy field they're in.
That calling.
And I just breathe with that energy field.
Just allow yourself to breathe.
Deeply in.
Holding it.
And releasing it.
And allow yourself to almost float in this energy.
As if you're floating in an energy field.
And drifting.
In that presence of now.
There's a depth.
In infinite depth.
Are precious.
Amazing.
Limitless.
Energy that you are in right here and now.
When you let all worry go.
And you let all thoughts go.
And you allow yourself that trusting.
Precious presence to be.
You often feel an expansiveness.
And openness.
Now just allow a smile to come to your face.
How precious is that smile?
Often it will bring a further opening within.
How sacred is this time that you have with your true self?
With your soul.
With a smile.
That core in the heart of your being.
And as you experience this energy.
This precious gift.
Hello,
You so- Slowly come back.
Feeling refreshed and renewed and revitalized.
And in tune.
With that sacred part of yourself.
That gift of being here now.
Breathe in deeply.
Breathe out.
And just take a moment to say thank you.
Thank you for this gift of being here now.
And I bow in deep gratitude and thank you for taking the time and energy to be with me here and now.
