It's so easy for us to feel like we're not worthy of something and that lack of worthiness often comes from a feeling,
A thought,
That we're lacking something,
We're not doing enough,
That we don't have what it takes.
We look outside of ourselves at others that seem to have it all together on social media,
On the internet,
We see their highlights and we can't help but look at the dust,
The dirt,
The imperfections,
The flaws in our own lives.
We do this because we believe beneath the surface that we're not the same,
We don't have it,
We don't have the power,
The love to be ourselves.
The journey to heal from this is to recognize it,
Become aware and then to shift your focus,
To relearn,
To be with,
Receive from the love,
The power,
The wisdom that lives inside you but also permeates the entire universe.
When you learn to receive this deeply into your being and let it move you,
It cannot help but shift away from this perception of lack and into something deeper,
More profound and more real.
So this meditation,
This guidance is an invitation to do just that.
I invite you to find a comfortable position,
Your hands on your lap in a receiving position,
So your palms facing upwards and take a few nice,
Deep,
Gentle breaths into your belly.
A few nice,
Deep inhalations followed by a pleasurable,
Expansive exhalation,
Maybe through your mouth if that feels good but then letting go of your breathing,
Knowing that your body's natural breathing mechanism is here through your lungs and through your pores.
Just notice first how you are right now,
If there are thoughts happening in your mind,
Sensations,
Feelings,
Emotions happening in your body.
Let it all be as it is.
There's nothing for us to control or try to hold on to,
Instead let anything enter and leave like energy waves in the ocean.
Your thoughts also for example are waves of energy entering and leaving.
As you do that,
Feel yourself sink in deeper into your body,
Into your cells.
It might help to bring to mind the feeling or the image,
Just the knowing and the assumption that this is happening of like a pebble,
A heavy pebble sinking deeper and deeper into an endless,
Infinite ocean.
You can maybe feel that inside your core,
Your heart,
And your belly.
Feel yourself sinking deeper,
Deeper,
Deeper,
Deeper into your cells,
Into your body.
As if you could land again into every cell,
Every body part.
You're inhabiting more and more and more with every passing second,
Each and every single cell.
And when that's done,
When you feel more in your body,
You can just know that this is continuing to happen in the background.
Let's see if you can feel in your cells a tingle now of electricity,
Of aliveness.
Deeper than your breathing,
Deeper than your heartbeat.
Gentle maybe pulsing,
Vibrating,
Emanating from your cells.
And let that happen,
Relax deeper.
Let it move through you,
These waves of electric energy.
See if you can enjoy them even.
And then you're going to bring your awareness to a point below your belly button,
About two centimeters below,
Just a bit inside your body.
And feel there emanating from that spot a point of energy.
It's a cream champagne color.
If another color appears,
Then just let that be and eventually it will turn to cream champagne.
And as you focus there,
Let that energy,
That light,
That color emanate bigger,
Bigger,
Bigger.
It emanates from that point,
But it also expands,
Filling the cells,
Filling your body.
Until eventually it comes to surround you like a cocoon of this beautiful cream champagne,
Loving,
Supportive energy.
And let that really surround you,
So you can feel yourself held and embraced and nourished by it.
And this is the magic,
Your magic,
The magic that lies in every single cell of the cosmos.
The love,
The intelligence,
The power that lies within all things.
So let yourself receive it right now into every single cell as you're surrounded and nourished by it.
Receive this knowing,
Receive this reality that you are,
You are this.
And you can imagine or feel your cells just opening up and drinking in,
Taking in this energy,
This magic,
This love that you are.
I keep taking in this cream champagne into every single cell.
You don't need to understand it.
You don't need to have any control over it.
You just need to receive.
And notice how that is in your body.
And now the next time that you feel that you're lacking something,
You look at your life,
The things in your life,
Your behaviors,
And you feel like you're not doing enough.
You're not being enough.
And you feel small or frustrated or despairing even that you'll never get there where you want to be because you simply don't have it or have what it takes.
And I invite you to come back this place to the receiving of the love,
Power and wisdom that you actually are.
Surrounded by your magic,
Emanating your magic and receiving from it every single moment.
Letting that move your cells,
Heal your cells,
Clear anything that is no longer needed.
It's never yours.
So you can move through your life in a more receptive state,
Receiving what actually is there.
The love,
The connection,
The beauty,
The joy that is in your life.
Instead of doing that very human thing we do of focusing on what is not there,
What we think is missing.
Stick as long as you need to,
To continue receiving this,
These words,
This knowing into your body.
This is real.
This is tangible.
The love that you are,
The beauty that you are,
The power,
The wisdom is real.
We are conditioned to believe it's not,
That we are our minds,
Our behaviors,
Our personalities,
Our emotions even.
And yet when you can come home to this you can remember that this is your home.
This is real.
Really taking that,
Taking that in even further into your cells,
That's knowing all that reality.
And if the mind doesn't understand it,
That's perfectly fine.
All you need to do is receive into your body,
Let your body receive it and notice how that feels.
So you can stay here for as long as you like,
But eventually you can open up your eyes,
Wiggle your hands and your toes,
Give yourself a bit of a stretch,
And go about your day hopefully with more connection,
More presence and more joy.
