Brahma Vahara Cultivation Draw yourself into presence,
Into center.
Become fully aware of the beautiful practice that you're about to engage with.
A wholesale,
Unconditional blessing of yourself,
Of loved ones,
Of others in your field,
A stepping into oneness.
Breathe yourself into center.
With every breath,
Have the feeling that you're drawing your awareness in from the outer reaches of your field.
And with every exhalation,
Feel yourself consolidating in the here and now.
Drawing in to the center of your spirit.
Drawing in through the center of your mind.
Drawing in to the center of your feelings.
Drawing in to the center of your body,
Your heart.
As you're breathing,
Follow the breath now down into the heart space.
And as you exhale,
Drain the air.
With every breath,
The energy in the heart space grows and vibrates and opens.
Cleave your awareness to the next intake of breath and ride the breath all the way down into the center of your heart.
In your mind's eye,
See the space within the center of the heart open up into a beautiful,
White,
Nebulous room made of light.
Sense the dimensions of this etheric space,
The sacred interior of your heart.
Dwelling right in the center of this space,
Know that it is part of you.
It emanates from you.
It is an expression of your spirit.
And you,
Pure awareness.
And out from this nebulous,
Misty light,
Steps a presentation of yourself.
You may present as a younger version of you or as you are today or perhaps who you are becoming.
Allow them to step forward and approach.
Reach out your right hand and place the palm of your hand over their heart.
Look them in the eye.
And with all the power of your spiritual heart,
Your knowing,
Your love,
Bless yourself with the Brahma-Vahara blessings.
May your good fortune increase.
May you be happy.
May you be free from all attachment,
Aversion,
Fear and shame.
And may you fully awaken and be free.
Feel the power of the blessing streaming from your heart down your arm through the palm and what you're being received directly to the heart of yourself.
You see yourself now step back and smile and turn and walk back into the nebulous mist of your heart space.
Next you sense another presence approaching and as they draw near they come into focus,
Someone in your life that you love deeply and easily.
As they approach look upon their face,
Their features,
Eyelashes,
Cheeks,
Lips.
Look down at their feet.
Reach out your arm and place your palm over their heart.
And with all the love that you have for this person and all the gratitude that you feel that they have a presence in your life,
That they have allowed you an experience of giving and receiving love.
Bless them fully.
May your good fortune increase.
May you be happy.
May you be free from all attachments,
Aversions,
Fear and shame.
And may you fully awaken and be free.
Feel the surge of the blessing streaming down your arm and what you're being received in full by your beloved.
See them now step back and smile and turn and walk back into the misty white light of the sacred space of your heart.
And now another approaches as they come into focus drawing nearer to you you can see that it's someone that you know in your life.
Someone perhaps that you pass in the street.
A face that you're familiar with yet you don't know them.
There's no relationship there.
However you're sharing this time,
This space and the same trajectory in your life field.
Look at their features and really see them properly.
The expression on their face.
How they wear their hair.
Look them in the eye and extend your arm placing palm to heart.
And bless them unconditionally.
May your good fortune increase.
May you be happy.
May be free from all attachments,
Aversions,
Fear and shame.
May you fully awaken and be free.
Feel the blessings stream from your heart down the arm and watch them being fully received.
See this person smile.
Step back.
And walk back into their own time and space and place.
And finally another appears.
Coming through the misty light of your heart and coming into focus.
This person,
This one,
Who's a challenge,
Who spirit is using to trigger your awakening and your awareness.
Perhaps when you see them there are edges and prickles,
Feelings of discomfort.
Allow them to approach.
Feel the power of love in your heart.
Feel the eternal connection with all people in your life,
Especially those you find challenging.
Extend your arm and place your palm on their heart.
See them nod their permission.
And with the power of all your knowing,
With the power of your spiritual journey,
With the power of your own awakening,
Bless them fully.
May your good fortune increase.
May you be happy.
May you be free from all attachments,
Aversions,
Fear and shame.
And may you fully awaken and be free.
Feel the power of the light in this blessing streaming from your own heart directly into theirs and watch it being received.
This person sighs,
Smiles,
Steps back and turns and walks back to their place in time and space now.
Return yourself to full presence and being in the sacred space of your heart.
Feel the resonance of the practice streaming through you,
Healing you and raising your vibration to new heights.
Dwell here for the next 12 breaths.
And our practice of Brahma-vahara cultivates and this meditation has now concluded.
