Thank you for joining me today for this meditation on cultivating heart awareness and opening ourselves to share energy freely with the world and the people around us.
Come to find a comfortable seated position where your spine is straight.
Lying down is fine too.
Leave your palms resting face up.
We want to be in a state of receiving here as we receive energy from the conscious living universe and we use it to power our hearts so we may enliven the world with the love we have to share.
Let's take a deep breath in.
All the way.
And at the top,
Hold the breath.
Squeeze in your stomach.
Squeeze in your back.
And hold.
Now release.
Big exhalation.
Again,
Take a big deep breath.
All the way.
And hold it.
Squeeze.
And release.
Really let go of any tension you've been holding onto.
Find yourself greeted by a peaceful presence.
Feel the joy surging up from deep within you.
The joy that's always been there.
The joy that lives inside of you.
Feel it greeting you now.
Let your breath come back to its normal,
Steady rhythm.
Try not to control it.
Let the breath be light.
Let the breath be natural.
And just stay here in your presence with the breath.
Our hearts are our portals to connect with the living universe.
They're our connection point to all things.
And so often in our modern civilizations,
We undervalue what the heart has to offer.
We let our minds take control.
And we forget that our hearts are our true guides.
And so let's set our intention today to change this priority and choose to make our heart our guiding force.
And let our mind help in achieving the heart's goals and the heart's desires.
When we come into coherence with our heart,
We become capable of amazing things.
And so now I want you to breathe into your chest.
I want you to feel the universal life force streaming in through your nostrils.
And I want you to feel it filling your heart space.
I want you to see a golden glow of energy,
A swirling vortex of light centered on your heart.
I want you to feel it getting bigger as you breathe life force energy into it.
And I want you to feel the speed of its rotation increasing.
Feel the warmth awakening in your heart.
Feel the strength of its power.
Feel the energy that resides there.
And feel it not staying contained within your heart but spreading throughout your entire body.
Feel yourself energized by your heart's own energy.
And let's open up space in our bodies.
Let's create looseness throughout our body.
This will allow that energy to flow freely.
Feel it moving within you.
Feel the swirling tides of energy searching through you.
And feel that vortex at your heart growing ever larger.
Know that you are loved.
So often in this life we become disconnected.
We feel all alone.
And we fail to realize that we are connected to the very source of life.
That we are a part of that source.
And so now,
Breathing into our heart,
Let yourself fall away,
Coming into rhythm with the steady breath and the life force energy that surges into you.
Feel the space within your body growing.
Choose to loosen yourself further,
Allowing the energy to flow more freely through you.
Let yourself become a conduit for your heart's energy.
Now I want you to imagine someone who's struggling.
Someone you know who is not connected to the energy of their own heart.
Someone who's cut off from their connection with the rest of us and with the living universe.
So often these difficult people will frustrate us and they'll create a situation where the very people that they need to help them become turned against them.
And so we send them our love now,
Here in this empowered place,
Where any negativities they may hold are not welcome to come back to us.
If you can't think of someone specific,
You can just set the intention to feed your heart's energy to those in need.
There are certainly people nearby who could use it.
And let yourself share this energy.
Feel how it doesn't subside within you at all.
You have so much power,
Sharing your heart's energy does not diminish it.
It only strengthens your heart further.
We protect our hearts by closing ourselves off,
Feeling like putting up walls will keep us safe.
It makes us more disconnected and it makes us feel like we're alone.
We are not alone.
We are powerful beings,
Surrounded by other powerful beings,
Encompassed within a universe of infinite power.
If we choose to harness that energy and let it flow into us and let it embolden our heart and let our heart share its love with everyone,
We can empower our whole world to become true to its nature,
To harmonize,
To heal,
To let go of the ways that we've become so prescribed to the thoughts in our head.
And we can know that the collective energies of humanity will be raised up.
We will be governed by our heart's truths and those truths will lead us to peace.
And let's stay here,
Breathing in and out of our heart,
Knowing that this work is crucial.
Know that you are loved.
Know that you are strong and come to embody that strength.
Come to express that love,
To feel it,
To let it hold you.
I want you to think of something you're truly grateful for,
Whether it be a loved one or a cherished memory or an achievement that makes you proud.
I want you to hold on to it.
I want you to feel the gratitude within it.
And I want you to pull that gratitude in towards you.
I want you to let that gratitude fill you.
Bring it into your heart and the vortex of energy which resides there.
And just keep breathing,
Focused on this grateful memory.
Feel yourself becoming empowered.
Feel yourself filled with the unconditional love of gratitude.
Feel the energy surging through your whole body.
Feel it in your toes.
Feel it moving in your ankles,
Up your thighs.
Feel it swirling in your hips,
In your abdomen.
Feel it centered in your heart,
But surging through your solar plexus and your throat.
Feel the energy doing laps around your whole body,
Reaching your head,
Touching your third eye and your crown.
And I want you to accelerate that energy.
I want you to consciously control it.
Love it.
Speed it up.
And realize this energy we're pulling from the universe,
Coming from our hearts,
Is something we can consciously control.
Embrace that.
And choose to live in this empowered state.
Set the intention now of carrying this growth,
This feeling with us into our days,
Our weeks,
Our months.
Now we come back to our bodies,
Right where we left them.
Feel yourself.
Feel the room around you.
And when you're ready,
Open your eyes.
Thank you so much for doing this with me today.
I appreciate the opportunity to guide you.
Namaste.
