Welcome,
Sweet friends.
This is Padma,
And today's meditation is an invitation to open to the Divine.
To open to the Divine that lives in you,
In me,
In us all.
I want to invite you to really open up.
Open wide.
Open wide with your breath.
And let your eyes close.
Take a moment to make yourself really comfortable.
You are making yourself available,
Ready for a date with the Divine.
With universal love.
Call it what you will.
Call it God,
Allah,
Jesus,
Pure love.
Breathe it in.
You are allowed.
Give yourself permission.
Permission to be bathed in the light of the Divine.
Perhaps you want to open your arms or rest your hands on your heart.
This is a time for you to offer yourself humbly.
Your life is an offering.
So take this sacred time to make a prayer.
A prayer that rises up from deep inside your own heart.
A prayer,
A blessing.
Where you lay your burden down.
Because these burdens get in the way,
Friends.
Lay your burden down.
Imagine your body is prostrate at the Divine feet of the universe.
The great mystery.
How would you live?
How would you live?
And how will you?
How will you walk in the world with your heart open to love?
The invitation is to surrender.
Remember the places that you have been holding back.
Surrender and offer the parts that only through misunderstanding you have somehow deemed unworthy or unlovable.
For this is not the case.
All of you is lovable.
All of you is lovable.
Offer yourself to the Divine.
Let your heart soften.
Let your heart expand.
Perhaps like rays of sunlight beaming into the universe,
Infinitely.
Breathing and offering yourself to the infinite,
Breath by breath.
And now listen closely.
Listen closely to the whispers of your heart.
For they speak the language of love.
The language of light.
Of the Divine.
So listen and receive a sacred message.
This message is just for you.
Trust what comes,
Whether it comes in words,
In song,
As a feeling,
As an image,
As a subtle sensation.
This is just for you.
And as you're ready,
Bow your head in gratitude.
Bow your head in deep gratitude.
And make a good home for this sacred message.
A message from the Divine to that same spark of love and light that lives in you.
And now,
With bowed head and hands together in prayer,
Take a deep breath.
And have a blessed day.
A blessed evening.
A blessed life.
I thank you.
I thank you for bowing into love with me.
