This is Daphne Garrido,
I want to thank you for joining this meditation.
Today we are going to be looking to expand ourselves,
To expand our consciousness,
And to cultivate a spaciousness within.
And so,
With these intentions,
Please come to find a comfortable position,
Where you are seated or lying down,
And allow your spine to grow straight,
Your neck long,
Keep your chin lightly tucked as you roll your shoulders down and back,
And lift your heart.
And if you haven't already,
Please close your eyes.
Let's begin by feeling through the energy within our bodies.
Please place your palms face up or face down on your lap,
And feel into the energy there.
Feel into the energy moving up and down your arms.
Feel the energy moving in your belly.
Feel any tightness within,
Just breathe into those spaces,
And see if you can coax the energy there to loosen up,
To become more free.
And on your next inhalation,
Please take a deep breath in,
Filling yourself all the way up,
And let it go.
Take another deep breath in,
All the way,
And release.
Take one last deep breath in,
Taking a few extra sips in through your mouth if you can,
And hold,
Relax your entire body,
And release.
And so begin feeling into your heart space as you allow your breath to fall back into a natural rhythm.
Turn all of your attention onto your heart.
Look and listen for what is there inside of you.
And knowing that your heart is a portal to the deepest parts of self,
Allow yourself to move into this portal,
And allow yourself to fall deeply into the spaciousness within you.
Just breathe and focus on your heart as you feel deeper and deeper into the spaciousness within.
Feeling yourself deeply focused on a quiet place within you,
Allow your attention to broaden,
Allow yourself to feel first your physical body,
And allow that awareness to move out to encompass your energetic field.
And feeling the power of this energy that is you,
Feeling the flowing waves that you share out into the world around you,
And receive from the universe.
Consciously expand your energetic field,
Imagine this bubble around you is growing.
Feel it first grow to encompass the room that you are in,
And if you are outdoors,
Imagine it encompassing the same amount of space.
And allow your energy to expand out farther,
Down into the earth,
Up into the sky.
Feel inside you,
Space growing.
Feel the layers of yourself separating and loosening.
And consciously encourage this process,
Choose to loosen yourself,
Choose to expand.
Letting your consciousness reach deep down into the earth,
And high into the atmosphere.
Feel into the great amount of space that you are occupying.
Feel all the life that is within you.
Feel the movement of the wind.
Feel the birds in the sky.
Feel the beauty of nature,
And feel the hearts of humanity,
And continue expanding out farther.
So much so,
That you begin to encompass the entire planet.
Feel the fire,
The water,
The earth and the air,
And feel yourself expanding into the ether,
Into the space around our planet.
And allow yourself to welcome in even more expansion,
Even more spaciousness.
Know that we live in an infinite universe,
And that you are an integral part of it.
And know that you can return to this expanded place anytime.
And so,
Begin allowing your attention to center back in on your body.
Feel all of this beautiful energy,
All of this amazing expansion,
Holding within you,
As you return your attention and your focus solely to your body.
And let's take a moment here to just ground into the earth.
And so feel roots moving out of your spine,
Into the earth.
Feel them growing out of the bottoms of your feet.
And feel yourself held here by the planet.
Feel those roots dig deep and connect.
Feel yourself supported and held and loved,
And supported here,
Back in your body.
Take a moment to sense the space around you.
Allow yourself to gently move and stretch.
Take a deep breath in,
And out.
And whenever you're ready,
Open your eyes.
Thank you so much for taking part in this practice today.
I am truly grateful for this opportunity to connect with you here.
I hope it served you well.
Namaste,
My friend.
