Welcome to today's meditation.
My name is Elizabeth and today I will be your guide inside.
Allow yourself to find a comfortable place to sit or lay down.
And with eyes closed,
Bring a gentle focus to the sensory experience within your body as we transition into an exploration into our interior.
Allow the activity of thoughts and emotions to come and go like waves moving out to sea.
There is no need to resist the waves.
Simply watch them move and flow with each inhale and exhale.
The focus of today's meditation is coming home to the heart.
Coming home to ourselves.
Pema Chodron said,
Meditation practice isn't about trying to throw ourselves away and become something better.
It's about befriending who we are already.
We enter this meditation today with a gentle openness to become friendly with the many aspects we have judged,
Condemned,
And hidden away in the dungeon of ourselves.
Through our lifetime,
We have been hurt.
And often in our attempt to survive that pain,
We abandoned ourselves.
Now is the time to turn towards the ones we left in the dark.
So let's take a nice deep breath in and out.
Again,
Breathing in and out.
If it feels comfortable,
Gently bring your hands to your heart center.
We begin by giving our heart permission to open.
You can envision a door opening within the front of your heart.
And then allow the top of your heart to open.
And the left side.
And the right side.
And the bottom of your heart.
And the back of your heart.
Allow every window within your heart to swing open.
And allow the movement of your breath to sweep the dust and debris swiftly out.
Cleansing and clearing old stale energies so that the vital life force within your heart can awaken.
We can allow the flow of our breath to move like a gentle wind throughout every corner and crevice of our heart.
Each inhale reaches into deeper cavities within.
And each exhale removes the residue of those forgotten spaces.
The inhalation expands the capacity of our heart.
And the exhalation removes the buildup of residue from our past.
Keep following the breath.
Follow the breath as it continues to reach deeper levels within your expansive and beautiful heart.
Now,
We allow the energy of love,
Our loving awareness,
To fill our heart with a warm,
Radiant golden light.
Allow the heart to receive this golden light.
Feel it enter every door and see it spread through the windows of your heart.
Bring this light to illuminate and awaken all dark corridors until the entire heart space is filled with radiant golden sunlight.
At the center of this radiance,
You will find a shimmering white light.
The source of this shimmering light is the jewel within your heart.
You see every facet is glowing with your endless life force.
Your radiant heart jewel is here,
Grateful and happy to be meeting you again.
Welcome home to your heart.
Welcome home to your truth.
Welcome home to the space within you that can never be hurt.
Love,
Joy,
Compassion,
And truth radiate without effort here.
Feel your essence.
Enjoy your radiance.
And remember that this is what you have always been looking for.
Welcome home.
No more seeking is needed.
Only remember to stay connected to this heart light and let it lead you on your path ahead.
In this moment,
I commit to walk with the grace and guidance given by this inner heart wisdom.
I choose to remain open-hearted so that I can hear the whispers of the heart and offer its radiance to the world.
When challenges arise and I feel the fear rising with the desire to close and guard all the windows and doors,
I know now that I have a choice.
A choice to remain open and free or to close and condemn.
This is my freedom.
This is my choice.
This is my home.
Bringing your awareness to your hands.
Feel the energy running through them.
And extend that awareness to feel the energy moving throughout your entire body.
Bringing your mind,
Body,
And heart for investing in sacred time inside.
And I am always grateful to be your guide inside.
From my heart to yours,
Remember to always shine your radiant light.
Namaste,
Heart friends.
