A very big Aloha.
My name is Reverend Cindy Pollos and I wanted to talk about the gift of meditation and how we become increasingly aware of what we're going into when we go into meditation and that includes a lot.
I'm not going to do a long talk but I'm going to take the time as we go into meditation to explore how we become more aware.
As we begin to go into the meditation stage we go through a kind of sacred process of awareness.
So let's just let's experience that.
Let's just be aware of that as we close our eyes and of course don't close your eyes if you're driving.
When you're sitting and meditating just allow yourself to sit and just take your deep breaths because we know breath sweeps mind and breathe deeply in and hold and breathe out.
Clearing your mind with each breath as you breathe deeply in and hold and release.
In hold and release.
Be aware of your breath and the energy it feeds your body and be aware of your body.
Let's put a beautiful wonderful white brilliant light all around our body.
Below our feet,
Above our head,
In front of us,
Behind us and either side of us until you're completely surrounded in a wonderful white light.
And just go a little deeper with your breaths now.
Be aware of your whole body,
Your feet,
Your toes,
Your ankles,
Your legs,
Your hips,
Your whole spinal column and the flow of energy going from the base of your spine up to the top of your head and back out.
Circling yourself in this wonderful field of energy with each breath breathing in and just allowing yourself to be here now.
With each breath allowing yourself to be aware of the energy that you are holding and releasing.
With each breath,
Breathe in that energy and release it.
Like ocean waves in and out.
Going deep,
Deep,
Deep inside with each breath.
And your mind will have passing thoughts and awareness.
And with each breath allow each thought to just take its own course and release it.
So that you can go to that place inside that's there deep within your heart.
Now go to the heart of your heart.
That place inside your heart where that spirit of who you are lives in your heart.
Now you might experience as you go into your heart different levels that you have to be clearing out and opening up.
We can sometimes close our heart down.
But you can also open your heart up.
So allow your heart to be open to that deepest part of your heart where the love resides.
And there's the love that is the regular average everyday kind of love that you have for people in your life.
And then there's the love that comes from spirit and that love of love that is universal that lives eternally.
Allow that deeper love that love that is eternal be present in you here now.
Love is one of the most powerful healing gifts in the world.
And we must believe in that power of that love.
The miraculous power of love is a love that is eternal.
Be grateful for that love.
How would that love teach you and help you to grow?
It was once said love is patient and love is kind.
And how patient and kind is that love you have for yourself.
Allow that love for yourself to be unlimited.
And as you do,
You will find that you can also share that love that is patient,
Kind,
And unlimited with others.
What a precious gift love is.
Let's all be grateful for this precious gift of love that is there alive within you.
Breathe it in and allow it to completely fill all of your awareness.
Slowly allow your consciousness to come back through the many levels of your beingness to your mind,
Your body,
To all of you.
And take a moment as you do this to maintain a thread of consciousness from where you were in that place in meditation to where you are.
As you come out of meditation to write down anything that may have come to you.
And as you do this,
You're building that bridge.
You're building that bridge from your higher consciousness in your soul and that light within to that regular everyday awareness.
It's a precious gift that you can build as is that wonderful gift of being able to love yourself so you can love others unconditionally.
And I bow in deepest of gratitude to you for sharing this wonderful precious time with me.
God bless you always.
