Hello dear one,

This is davidji and welcome to today's meditation.

This is a special day.

This is an auspicious day.

It's a perfect day.

It's a day of wholeness,

A day of love,

A day of peace,

A day of gratitude.

Today is a day of joy.

From whatever else is going on outside of you,

Today we can take stock of everything in our life.

We can count our blessings,

We can thank those in our life who have made it just a little bit more fulfilling.

This is a day to thank yourself for getting you to this moment,

This sacred,

Precious,

Present moment.

Today is your day to shine,

To feel gratitude flow through you,

To experience all the wonder and magnificence of your one precious life.

So let's settle in.

Remember comfort is queen.

Always keep moving towards comfort through the meditation.

Gently feather your nest,

Nestle in,

And together let's take a long,

Slow,

Deep breath in and ever so gently let that breath go.

Let's do that again,

Long,

Slow,

Deep breath in and allow your eyelids to gently float closed and release it.

And now simply witness your breath as it flows in and out of you.

Notice your breath as it comes into your nostrils,

Moves into the back of your nose,

Into your throat,

And then moves down into your lungs.

And observe it as it flows back out,

Moving up your chest,

Through your throat,

And out through your nose or mouth.

As you witness,

Simply watch,

Accept the breath,

Allow your breath,

Receive this gift.

And as you witness your breath,

Notice that your mind is calming.

Notice that your body is relaxing.

Notice that the swirl outside of you and inside of you is slowing down just a bit.

There's nowhere else to be.

There's nothing else to do except to be right here,

Right now,

Embracing this moment.

And as you breathe,

Drift your fingertips,

Your hand or your palm to your heart and ever so gently breathe into your heart.

Feel that breath move past your fingertips right into your heart.

Feel it fill all the nooks and crannies of your sweet,

Tender heart and release that breath.

And now drift your attention and drift your fingertips to the left side of your heart.

This is your nourishment center.

This is the part of your heart that receives love,

Allows forgiveness,

Receives kindness,

Accepts healing.

It opens a bit more every day.

This is your nourishment center.

Take a long,

Slow,

Deep breath in to that left side of your heart.

Breathe in that nourishment.

And as you exhale,

Allow gratitude to flow through your entire body.

And now drift your attention to the very bottom of your heart.

Place your fingertips on that space.

This is your strength center.

This is your support center,

Your foundation.

This part of your heart holds everything up in your life,

Balances everything,

Grounds everything.

It's commanding,

It's mighty,

It's strong,

It's stable.

And through the very bottom of your heart,

Breathe in strength with me.

Feel that strength awaken inside your heart and as you exhale,

Send gratitude to every fiber of your being.

And now drift your attention to the right side of your heart.

Place your fingertips on that space ever so gently.

This is your voice.

This is the part of your heart that sends love,

Radiates compassion,

Flows kindness,

Sends healing,

Ripples gratitude,

And sends forgiveness.

And join me as we take a long,

Slow,

Deep breath in to the right side of your heart.

Embrace the power of your voice.

Feel that elevating,

Expanding.

And as you exhale,

Ripple gratitude through every aspect of who you are.

Now place your fingertips,

Your palm,

Your hand on the very,

Very front of your heart,

Covering your entire heart.

This is your courage center,

The exposed part of your heart.

It's the shield,

The protector,

The defender.

It's scarred,

It's been bruised,

It's been battered,

But it's always protected and defended you.

It's resilient,

Always giving you the courage to get back up.

And so take a long,

Slow,

Deep breath into the very front of your heart.

Feel courage awaken.

And as you exhale,

Allow gratitude for this courage to ripple through every part of who you are.

Placing your hand exactly where it is,

Drift your attention to the very back of your heart.

This is your wisdom center,

The part of your heart that's never exposed.

This is your heart's intelligence,

Understanding,

Your heart's brain.

This is where intuition,

Discernment,

And insight rest.

This part of your heart sends and receives emotional signals to govern your life.

This is your wisest self and has been with you since the moment you were born.

And so take a long,

Slow,

Deep breath in with me to the very,

Very back of your heart.

Feel that wisdom awaken.

And as you exhale,

Just allow gratitude to flow through every part of who you are.

And now drift your fingertips to the very top of your heart.

This is your connection to source.

This is the crown of the heart.

It looks up to the stars.

It's divine,

Celestial,

It's soulful,

It's godly.

This top of your heart communes with oneness.

It's enlightened.

This is your connection to spirit,

To source,

To the divine.

It's open right now.

Take a long,

Slow,

Deep breath in and feel all that stardust just pour into the top of your heart,

Connecting you to source.

And as you exhale,

Release that gratitude out into the cosmos,

Into the galaxy.

And now move your fingertip to the very center of your heart.

This is the place that's halfway between the top and bottom,

Halfway between the left and right,

Halfway between the front and back.

It's the epicenter of your entire existence,

The most tender part of who you are.

It's trusting.

This is pure,

Unconditional love.

As you rest your fingertips on that pinpoint at the epicenter of your heart,

This is indeed the anahata,

The unstruck,

The unblemished,

The unstained,

Untainted.

It's pure.

It's innocent.

It's loving unconditionally.

It's unhurt,

Unwounded,

Undamaged,

Never offended.

It's beyond pain.

It's the essence of who you are,

Pure,

Unbounded,

Unconditional love.

So rest in this place for a moment as you allow nourishment,

Strength,

The power of your voice,

Courage,

Wisdom,

Connection to source,

And unconditional love to pulse within you with every beat of your heart.

The Sufi poet Hafiz is known to have said,

I am simply a hole in the flute through which the divine breath flows.

You're just a hole in the flute.

You're not the breath.

You're not even the flute.

You're just the hole.

Breathing in the magnificence of the universe,

Washing it in your heart,

And then flowing it right back out into the world with intention.

This is joy,

When you are breathing in pure,

Unbounded,

Unconditional love,

Filling your heart with it,

Washing away all pain,

All suffering,

All darkness,

And then flowing it right back into the world unconditionally to wash over all things in its wake.

That's the definition of joy,

And that can only come from a grateful heart.

So let's amplify this aspect of our being right now,

Knowing that meta,

Unconditional loving kindness is infinite.

In the furthest reaches of the cosmos,

Galaxies are tumbling into each other,

Into infinity,

And yet our heart is finite,

But when we breathe that pureness,

That infinite love into our heart,

It expands and fills,

And as we flow it back out into infinity,

It has no stopping point.

It's pure and unbounded.

So let's take a long,

Slow,

Deep breath in of meta,

Unconditional loving kindness.

Feel it fill your heart,

And as you exhale,

Send that gratitude out to all your loved ones,

Those near,

Those far,

And those in the beyond.

And let's do that one more time,

Long,

Slow,

Deep breath in,

Feel that unconditional loving kindness fill your heart,

Amplifying that love,

Washing it,

Expanding your heart,

And as you exhale,

Send gratitude out to all your friends,

Those near,

Those far,

And those who've left us.

Again,

Long,

Slow,

Deep breath in,

And feel your heart expanding,

Filling.

Your heart is overflowing with love,

And as you exhale,

Send gratitude out to all your acquaintances,

Those people whose names you don't even know,

But they've made your life better in some way.

In this moment,

Your heart is so full,

You're simply a love machine.

Take a long,

Slow,

Deep breath in of that unconditional,

Infinite meta,

Allow pure loving kindness to pour into your heart,

And as you exhale,

Allow gratitude to flow to all those with whom you have a grievance.

This isn't about forgiveness.

It's not even about them,

But perhaps they've taught you a lesson.

Perhaps they have been a petty tyrant in your life.

Perhaps you have learned and grown from your experience with them.

You're just a conduit of love,

A conduit of energy,

A conduit of abundance and healing.

Again,

Long,

Slow,

Deep breath in,

Feel your heart fill with all of that unconditional loving kindness,

And as you exhale,

Flow that gratitude out to every sentient being on the planet,

Every human,

Every animal,

Every bird,

Every fish.

You're just a conduit that breathes in love and flows out gratitude.

This is joy.

And now take a long,

Slow,

Deep breath in,

Feel your heart filling and expanding.

See yourself floating in space and wrap the entire planet in a bubble of love.

Every ocean,

Every desert,

Every forest,

Every valley,

Every skyscraper,

Every city street,

Every sidewalk on the planet,

And every country road is wrapped in your bubble of love.

You are embracing Sweet Mother Earth with your joy,

With your gratitude,

With your love.

And we know right now thousands of people are meditating with you right now in this moment.

Breathe in that unconditional loving kindness,

Allow it to fill your heart,

And flow gratitude out to all of them.

You breathe it in once,

Your heart fills once,

You flow it out once,

And it pours back on you thousands of times from all over the planet.

All the meditators wrapped around the planet right now are sending you unconditional love.

Allow it,

Accept it,

Receive it,

Bask in this shower of love,

Celebrate in your heart.

As love just rains all over you,

Pouring over your head,

Running down your ears,

Your face,

Your neck,

Running down your arms,

Your chest,

Your back,

You are just being filled and showered with unconditional loving kindness.

Feel the joy in this moment because this is who you are.

You are whole and perfect and pure,

And this is the day to celebrate that.

This is the day to remind yourself of your magnificence.

This is the day that you return to the memory of your wholeness,

And stay in this space and simply float in joy.

And now make a blessing.

Make a blessing over your life,

Over all the things you're grateful for,

Over all the life lessons you've learned over this magnificent stretch of your existence,

And remind yourself that everything on the planet is not happening to you,

It's happening for you.

All the challenges,

Speed bumps,

And roadblocks,

All happening for you to help you learn,

Grow,

And level up your life.

So let's take another long,

Slow,

Deep breath into our heart,

And feel that gratitude expanding,

And as you exhale,

Feel every cell in your body awakening with gratitude.

Let's try that one more time.

Long,

Slow,

Deep breath in,

Feel your heart filling,

Filling,

Expanding.

And as you exhale,

Just see that gratitude in every aspect of your life.

See all the things you're truly grateful for.

Again,

Long,

Slow,

Deep breath in,

And ever so lovingly give your heart a bit of a massage,

A kind of heart hug,

And feel the embrace of the divine.

And when it feels comfortable,

You can begin to wiggle your toes,

Your fingers a little bit.

You can continue to massage your heart,

And ever so gently open your eyes.

Welcome back.

Thank you for meditating with me.

Thank you for opening your heart today.

Thank you for celebrating gratitude and joy.

Let's continue to let that flow through the world with each step,

With each word,

With each breath.

From the sweet spot of the universe,

This is davidji.

Keep meditating,

And I'll see you in the gap.

May you have a day and a week of gratitude and joy.

Your Soul soothing, sugar-free smoothing voice relaxes me to my core DJ 🌀🪐🌀🌜🌀🌟🌀 Infinite heart hugs to Peaches 🧡 and you❣️

Beautiful, I unlocked a blockage of receiving with this meditation- that receiving love doesn’t need to have filters because unconditional love is pure. I was raised with multiple narcissists and realized with this session that I was trained to associate receiving love with conditions or repercussions.

Really amazed by the difference in perception now. And it’s my birthday! Thank you for the gift 😊

This meditation allowed me to return to my true state after doing some emotional work. Grateful to be able to make space for more joy in my life. ❤️
