The meditation that follows came through the whispering of spirit,

As I heard the words,

It is here.

It is now.

It has always been.

It's designed to heal the script running through the hearts and minds of many people,

Sometimes me,

Maybe even sometimes you.

Thinking that something more is coming,

Somewhere else,

Sometime in the future.

Bigger love,

Bigger home,

Bigger money,

Yet missing the bigness of today.

Life is inviting us to enjoy the beauty of today by finding that big love in the arms of today,

By making myself perfectly at home within my body today.

Allowing my energy,

My self-concept,

To go big today.

Feeling empowered and valued for who I am today,

Not who I should be or could be or will be someday.

No more playing in linear time,

Waiting and wondering for that elusive promised land.

We are all being called to be that powerful woman,

That powerful man,

In our own life today.

There's no time to wait for our future self.

It's time to merge with her,

With him today.

Now before you settle in for the meditation,

Take a deep breath and put your hands on your heart as you look around you now and say,

This is my life.

Breathe in the snowing today,

Right here,

Right now.

This is my life.

Now take another deep breath as you close your eyes and rest your hands softly in your lap and move from your head into your heart and allow the words that follow to stir the sleepy parts of your soul.

To wake you up and to open your eyes to the beauty,

The brevity and the preciousness of your life today.

Good morning.

It's time to wake up,

For there's a new day rising before you,

Shining a light on the life that stands before you now and wooing you with the poetic words of Mary Oliver.

Tell me what you plan to do with your one wild and precious life today.

For your life,

In all of its power,

Is held within the arms of today.

No more waiting for some day.

Today is the day you've been waiting for.

For life won't wait until you achieve or receive or finally cleave to another.

There's no pausing this thing called life.

For life shows up in the mundane and the miracles and it's your job to breathe meaning into it,

To breathe life into it.

Your life,

Your touch,

Your touch,

Your touch.

So tell me,

What do you plan on doing with all the wild and precious moments before you today?

So tell me,

What do you plan on doing with all the wild and precious moments before you today?

Today,

I choose to be massively kind to myself,

To soak my soul in the healing waters of compassion.

To be a part of the world,

To be a part of the world.

To be a part of the world,

To be a part of the world.

To be a part of the world,

To be a part of the world.

Today,

I will grace myself with grace by releasing my grand expectations of where I was supposed to be and embrace myself and my life as it is today,

Calling it good,

Very good.

Very good.

Today,

I will only speak positive words about myself,

My life and my body.

I choose to live my life as a sacred journey.

Today,

I choose to venture deeper into the mysterious and the beautiful and the holiness of who I am.

Today,

I choose to see myself,

Not as a mere player in this universe,

But to see that the entire universe is actually playing within me.

So today,

I courageously step into the mystery of life,

My life.

And part of life's grand mystery is never knowing how many todays I have left to live my life.

So today,

I will connect with the depth of love and love those I love more deeply.

I choose to laugh when yesterday I would have stressed to love instead of judge.

Today,

I will rise and see myself with new eyes.

Today,

I will expand my vision and rise to meet this day,

This moment with the fullness of my soul.

Today,

I choose to rise.

Today,

I will think superior thoughts,

Noble thoughts that align me with the secret desires of my heart.

Today,

I choose to build my dreams from the foundation of today.

Yet hold to the knowing that my life is today.

Today,

I will show up in a grander,

More noble fashion.

I will hold my head high.

I will lead with love.

I will be a person of love.

I will be a person of love.

I will be a person of love.

Today,

I will lead with love,

Walk in power,

And grow in grace.

I will crown myself with power,

With my words,

My thoughts,

And my actions.

Today,

I will answer that call upon my life.

I will align with a fire in my belly,

The power of my soul and the dreams upon my heart.

I courageously step into the bigness of my light and awaken the sleeping giant within myself.

Today,

I will hold myself steady in the knowing of who I am.

I am unmovable,

Unshakable.

I am strong and invincible.

I will not be buffeted by the winds of change or ride the waves of validation,

For I am an important and vital addition to this planet.

Within me,

I have what it takes.

I am going to take what I have and bless the world.

Now,

As you enter your day,

Take with you the mantra of remembering,

This is my life.

Use this powerful mantra when you feel yourself falling into a drowsy state,

Waiting for some day.

Stop what you are doing,

Take a deep breath,

And look around you and repeat the mantra,

This is my life.

Invite life to step more fully into you,

So you can step more fully into life.

Hold to the vision of who you are as you boldly say yes to your one wild and precious life today.

Thank you.

What a gift this meditation / talk is! EXACTLY what I've needed for years!!! I've been a live-for-the-future person, somehow consciously but frustratingly so. Although knowing about living-in-the-present, I rarely consciously did it in relation to my desires that always belonged to the future. I need to listen to this one everyday! "The mundane and the miracle" are both important. Thank you so much xxxx
