Thank you for joining this guided meditation.
Today we will be exploring our inner sky,
Finding spaciousness within and connecting to our innermost self.
Come to find a position,
Seated or lying down,
And allow your hands to rest face down on your lap or the floor beside you.
Let us ground into our bodies here,
Feeling our self rooted into the earth.
Feel your weight being held by gravity.
Feel your self cradled by Mother Earth's embrace.
Straighten your spine,
Lengthen your neck,
Keep your chin lightly tucked while you roll your shoulders down and back,
Opening your heart space.
And if you haven't already,
Please close your eyes.
Let us take a moment to scan through our bodies.
Turn your focus inward and witness any tension or tightness that you might be holding in your body.
Allow yourself to breathe into these spaces,
Allow yourself to release them,
And find relaxation throughout all of your body.
And if you still feel tension anywhere in your body,
Focus your attention onto it and breathe into that space.
On your next inhalation,
Take a full breath in,
Filling yourself completely,
And hold.
Squeeze in the muscles of your chest,
Squeeze in the muscles of your back,
And release.
Let's take one more deep breath like this,
And so breathe fully in,
All the way,
Hold,
Squeeze,
And release.
Perfect.
And so,
Allow your breath to fall into a natural rhythm.
Release all control,
And become a witness of its natural flow.
And so,
Let us bring our attention onto the outermost shell of our body.
Feel your energetic sheath as if you were your own skin,
And feel out into your energetic field.
Feel out into your connections with others,
Into your connections with all those meditating around the world right now.
Feel into your connections with your ancestors.
Feel into your connection with life itself,
And allow your sense of self to expand.
Feel yourself growing spacious.
Feel yourself extending up into the sky,
And down into the earth.
Feel yourself a part of the sacred everything.
And now,
Slowly,
Start drawing this awareness back in.
Feel yourself centering back down into your body.
Feel yourself shrinking into your energetic field,
And into your body itself.
Now turn your attention inward.
Watch,
Listen,
Witness anything that arises from within.
Bring your attention onto your heart.
Realize that this is your portal to your innermost self.
Put all of your attention there.
I want you to allow yourself to fall into your heart,
And see yourself now falling through the sky,
Falling through light clouds,
Knowing you're safe,
Knowing you are held here.
And just allow yourself to fall.
Allow yourself to sink into your inner sky.
Realize now that you have stopped falling,
And I want you to see the vastness of your inner sky.
And so at whatever pace you feel comfortable,
Explore your inner sky.
See yourself flying amongst clouds,
And realize that you are more.
That within you is the entire universe.
Here flying through our inner sky,
I want you to realize that you are not in a physical body.
That right now,
You are embodying a being of pure energy.
And feel this energetic self,
This self unencumbered by our physical reality.
Feel their joy and freedom.
Feel their wholeness.
And allow this energetic self to again expand out,
Filling up more and more of your inner sky.
And so just breathe here,
And allow yourself to feel in,
To understand the depth of the spaciousness you hold within.
And so,
Just breathe here,
And allow yourself to feel the depth of your inner sky.
Having found an expanded state of mind,
Flying amongst the clouds in your inner sky,
I want you to see that ahead of you is a floating island.
This island is filled with lush vegetation.
There is a beautiful waterfall,
Falling from the cliffs a mile in from shore.
And there is a homestead,
A place of great peace.
And I want you to find your innermost self here,
Living in peace.
Find this innermost self,
And come to rest energetically right before them as they come to rest before you.
And here,
Let us connect by any means we feel necessary to our innermost self.
You might see yourselves hugging.
You might see yourselves holding hands.
Or you might simply just see yourselves sitting in peace and happiness.
Whatever feels right to you,
Allow yourself now to connect deeply with your innermost self.
.
And finally,
Here on this beautiful floating island,
Suspended in the air of your inner sky,
Connecting with your innermost self.
Let us set the intentions of taking this connection with us.
Let us choose now to become our innermost self,
To allow this self to rise,
To become our inner self,
And see ourselves step into a world where we honor our inner truth.
And so,
Allow yourself to come back to your physical body.
Find it right where you left it,
And sense the space around you.
Come back to any light you might see behind your eyelids,
Or sounds you might hear in your environment.
Allow yourself to gently move and stretch.
Take a deep breath in,
And a deep breath out.
And whenever you're ready,
Open your eyes.
Namaste.
