Welcome to this meditation of respecting a loved one's boundaries,
Even when it's difficult.
Find release in your body first.
Imagine releasing the skin on the face.
Imagine releasing the neck and throat.
Imagine releasing the chest.
Imagine releasing the arms and the wrists and the ankles and the feet and the thighs and the pelvis.
You are at home in your body.
In your body,
You are always and unconditionally welcome.
You are at home on this earth.
On this earth,
You are always and unconditionally welcome.
You unconditionally belong on this earth.
In your relationship with the divine.
You are always and unconditionally welcome.
In your relationship with the divine,
You belong.
Just the way you are.
With every feeling and wish and emotion.
You belong.
And the divine is in you.
Individual people,
Even those we love who love us,
Have their own capacity.
Sometimes they can give and sometimes they cannot.
Sometimes they can accept and receive.
And sometimes they cannot.
When a loved one has a boundary.
It might feel like rejection to us.
And yet.
.
.
Every human being is different as to when and how.
They can give.
And receive.
And everyone has their own rhythm.
Every person has their divine timing.
Imagine a loved one whose boundary you are respecting.
And whose boundary it may feel uncomfortable to respect.
Imagine this loved one.
And say to this person.
I only want to receive.
What you want to give.
Time or energy or effort.
I only want to receive what you want to give.
And I only want to give what you want to receive or what you feel ready to accept.
I love you the way you are.
I accept you unconditionally.
And all your rhythms and timings.
You are a valuable part of the compassionate universe itself.
I honor you.
I don't need more from you than you want to give.
I love you the way you are.
And acknowledge that your relationship with yourself is unconditional,
Unconditional belonging.
And with the compassionate universe,
Unconditional belonging.
And with the divine unconditional belonging.
And those can hold us when certain people have certain capacities.
You still unconditionally belong on this earth and patience with people is an act of love.
Being able to be with and tune into someone's rhythm is an act of love.
Respecting someone's rhythm.
Is an act of will.
So setting the intention to receive and to give within the rhythm between two people.
With an honoring,
With a respect.
With letting things be as they are.
And with an open heart.
Feel that peace.
And end with a well-wishing to this person.
I wish you strength.
I wish you happiness.
I wish you connection and love and joy and freedom.
Acknowledging your own incredible freedom and acknowledging the freedom of every being on this earth.
And now take a full breath in gently.
And a breath out gently.
Thank yourself for having done this meditation practice today.
And with that same gentleness,
Patience,
Kindness,
Transition from the inner world to the outer world.
Opening your eyes.
Coming back.
To this world.
That you unconditionally belong to.
In your own time,
Open your eyes.
In your own rhythm,
Opening your eyes.
And give the world a smile.
