Begin this meditation in a position that is comfortable for you.
This can be sitting or lying down.
Close your eyes and focus on your breath as you allow your jaw and shoulders to soften.
Relax your neck.
Release any tension your body might be storing.
Feel yourself grounding and being supported by the earth,
Protected by the earth.
As you enter into your sacred space and time,
Sense that you are protected from all harm.
Let go of any fears,
Worries or troubles.
With each inhale,
Feel shielded.
With each exhale,
Release something that doesn't serve you.
Do this several times.
As you continue into a meditative state,
I invite you to envision a white light of protection surrounding your body.
This white light not only protects you,
It emanates from you to protect and heal those around you.
You are co-creative in many realities,
Your own and those of so many others.
Everything you touch blossoms,
Even if you don't immediately see the buds forming.
A kind word,
A smile or a helpful gesture you might have extended to someone probably made a huge difference in their day and possibly their life.
You might not ever know it,
But my dear friend,
You made a huge difference by giving the gift of you.
You are the gift of you.
Keeping your focus on your breath,
I invite you to consider how your footprints on this earth make a difference.
You are the gift of you.
You are the gift of you.
I invite you to consider how your footprints on this earth make a difference.
I also invite you to spend a few moments giving some of that same kindness and compassion to yourself.
Just like sunlight,
Wind,
Nightfall and rain,
You are a necessary component to the world in which we live.
You are as essential as running water,
A warm blanket on a winter night,
The song of a bird in spring,
The laughter of a child playing while the adults around him or her feel as if all hope is lost.
Never deny or disregard your own worth.
At your own pace,
Invite subtle movements into your body.
Let your eyes open slowly.
Take three deep breaths.
Be ever mindful of the white light you just envisioned.
Keep giving it to others,
But don't forget to give it to yourself too.
The crow flies from me to thee to send the message,
Blessed Be.
Namaste.
