Welcome to this guided meditation.
Find a quiet and comfortable place to sit or lie down.
Close your eyes gently and let's begin by taking a few deep breaths in through the nose and exhaling through the mouth.
Inhale and exhale.
As you continue to breathe,
Bring your awareness to your body.
Feel the weight of your body on the surface you're resting on.
Allow your muscles to relax,
Starting with your toes and gradually moving up through your legs,
Torso,
Arms,
And all the way to the top of your head.
Let go of any tension or tightness you may be holding.

Now I invite you to feel your spinal column.
Imagine the structure of your backbone,
The central axis of your body.
Picture it extending from the base of your spine all the way up to the top of your head.
See it as a strong and straight column that supports your entire body.
See it as a strong and straight column that supports your entire body.
As you focus on your spinal column,
Let your attention center on a delicate thread-like nerve that runs through the center of your spine.
Imagine this nerve to be as delicate and subtle as the thread of a lotus.
See it glowing with a gentle silvery light.
This is the thread of life that connects you to the invisible and the visible realms.

With your inner self.
The more you concentrate on this inner thread,
The more you align with your true essence.
As you continue,
Notice any sensations that arise in your body.
You might feel a subtle warmth tingling or a sense of energy flowing along your spine.
Allow yourself to fully immerse in this experience.
With each breath,
Imagine this thread becoming clearer and more vivid.
It's as if your inner vision is becoming sharper and more attuned to the delicate energy within you.
If your mind starts to wander,
Gently bring your focus back to your spinal column and the thread within it.
Let go of any distractions and return to the serene space you've created within.
Feel the transformation taking place within you.
The more you concentrate on this inner thread,
The more you align with your true essence.
You're becoming a conduit of light and energy,
Connecting the physical and the spiritual aspects of your being.
Take a few moments to bask in the radiance of this experience.
Feel the light of your inner thread expanding,
Filling your entire body and extending beyond your physical form.
Take a deep breath in and exhale slowly.
Become aware of your surroundings,
The sounds and the sensations in your body.
And now,
As we conclude this meditation,
Let's infuse our practice with the beautiful energy of loving-kindness.
As you continue to breathe gently,
Bring your attention to your heart center.
Feel the warmth and compassion residing there.
Feel a soft,
Radiant light glowing within your heart.
With each inhale,
This light grows stronger,
And with each exhale,
It expands outward,
Touching every corner of your being.
Now extend this loving-kindness to yourself.
Silently repeat these phrases,
Allowing them to resonate deeply within you.
May I be filled with love.
May I be at peace.
May I be free from suffering.
May I be happy.
Feel the loving intentions behind these words,
Infusing your entire being with a sense of comfort and acceptance.
May I be filled with love.
May I be at peace.
May I be free from suffering.
May I be happy.
Let's direct this loving-kindness towards someone you care about,
A friend,
Family member,
Or loved one.
Feel them in your heart and repeat the phrases for them.
May you be filled with love.
May you be at peace.
May you be free from suffering.
May you be happy.
Imagine this radiant light of loving-kindness enveloping them in a warm embrace,
Offering them your positive energy.
May you be filled with love.
May you be at peace.
May you be free from suffering.
May you be happy.
Now let's expand this circle of loving-kindness even further.
Bring to mind acquaintances,
Colleagues,
Or people you may not know well.
Repeat the phrases for them.
May you be filled with love.
May you be at peace.
May you be free from suffering.
May you be happy.
Feel the gentle ripples of compassion extending outward,
Touching the lives of others.
May you be filled with love.
May you be at peace.
May you be free from suffering.
May you be happy.
And finally,
Let's include all living beings in this practice of loving-kindness.
Envision the entire world bathed in the soothing light of your heart's intentions.
Repeat the phrases for all beings.
May all beings be filled with love.
May all beings be at peace.
May all beings be free from suffering.
May all beings be happy.
May all beings be filled with love.
May all beings be at peace.
May all beings be free from suffering.
May all beings be happy.
As you continue to breathe,
Feel the interconnectedness of all life and the boundless nature of love.
Remember that the thread within your spinal column is a reminder of your connection to both the seen and the unseen,
The material and the spiritual.
You can return to this meditation whenever you wish to realign with your inner self and experience the transformation it brings.
Now take a deep breath in,
And as you exhale,
Release any lingering tension or negativity.
When you're ready,
Gently open your eyes.
Gently open your eyes.
