Hello,
I'm Penelope Mavor,
Founder of EarthConverse,
Helping you best serve people and planet.
And this is part of the EarthConverse invitation to you to commit to a daily conscious practice of visualising the futures you want to serve.
A chance to exercise your potential and responsibility of co-creating the future you want for yourself,
Others and the earth that is our home.
At EarthConverse I am visualising people all around the world doing it,
Joining in daily at 7pm or whenever you can,
Knowing others are energetically engaging in this with you.
By future visualisation I mean by engaging your imagination and feeling into it with all your senses.
Like a sports athlete visualising a race before they do it,
They create their neural pathways and physiological state as if it was happening in the present.
Indeed the future is already here,
The caterpillar holds the imago of the butterfly,
The acorn longs to be an oak.
If you prefer guidance you can use these EarthConverse future meditations which offer prompts as stimuli.
I know the prompts may come too dense,
Fast or too slow,
That they may or may not fit you,
But may they stir your own visions,
Dreams,
Longings and truth,
Work with them in a way which feels right for you.
This episode is on the Biosphere,
The worldwide sum of all ecosystems,
A zone of life on Earth.
Future is always life affirming,
Even in death and decomposition it acts in service of life.
As humans we can activate this part of ourselves.
So let's take some moments to visualise and honour our biosphere and activate our reverence and life enhancing life qualities.
I invite you to get comfortable and close your eyes if that feels right.
We take a few long deep breaths to come into the present.
Breathing on the in breath,
Relaxing on the out breath.
And feel the aliveness in your own body.
Life supporting life.
Feel your grounding,
Connecting with the lithosphere,
The terrestrial component of the biosphere.
You feel your own body as a physical mass,
Feeling your connection with the Earth.
And from this state visualise all the diverse landforms,
Mountains,
Forests,
Rivers,
Rivers,
Rivers,
Deserts,
Grasslands.
All the variations,
All there,
All life enhancing life.
Feel the blood,
Saliva,
Moisture in your own body.
As you visualise a vibrant hydrosphere,
All the waters of the Earth,
The bloodstream of the biosphere.
Your own tears taste the same as the sea.
Immerse yourself in visualising glaciers,
The ocean.
Sea waters.
Fresh water of rain.
Rivers.
Lakes.
Streams.
Ponds.
Wetlands.
Coral reefs.
All being.
Flowing.
Regulating.
Nurturing.
Balancing.
Cleansing.
All life enriching life.
As you breathe,
Feel the air play through your body.
Working with the atmosphere that sustains life.
The air keeping you,
Me,
All of us alive breath by breath.
Nurturing us.
Pumping life.
Protecting life.
Clean,
Fresh air available all around the globe from home to home,
City to city,
Country to country.
Beyond borders,
Life affirming life.
As you feel the different sensations in your own body,
Connect with the diversity of all life.
Plants,
Animals,
Microorganisms,
Insects,
Humans.
Offer your grateful awe to the aliveness,
Beauty and magnificent of it all.
Every being and non-being having a role in life creating life.
A role in life enhancing life.
And give your deep gratitude to the diverse forms of food,
Fuel and fibre which are available for our responsible and devotional use.
And honour all the nutrients in air,
Earth and water able to recycle in perfect balance.
Visualise all the grand caretakers being revered and supported,
Human and non-human,
Indigenous communities and like the whale and the wolf,
All experts at life enhancing life.
A world where all our interactions and relationships with ourselves,
Each other and the earth that is our home are tended in love.
Visualise the earth in harmony,
Life enriching life.
Visualise yourself in harmony,
Life enriching life.
And now bring to mind a place,
A habitat that is important to you.
It could be your home,
Garden,
In the inner city or in a virgin forest,
A pond or a beach,
A park or a mountain top,
Wherever.
Feel yourself in its presence.
Give attention to its form,
Textures,
Smell,
Sounds.
The tastes it evokes.
Notice all the life in and around it.
The land,
The water,
The air,
The beings and non-beings.
Notice what emotions are evoked in you.
Give thanks to its presence and meaning in your life.
And imagine yourself doing all you can to add to its aliveness,
Its beauty,
Its magnificence.
Breathe into the possible actions you can take in your own life now.
Breathe into them with every cell of your body,
Life enhancing life.
Coming back to your senses,
Open your eyes and carry this life generating life knowing in your service to yourself,
Each other and the earth that is our home.
