Good morning and welcome to this morning light meditation.
My name's Graham Nichols and it's my pleasure and honour to guide you through this meditation today.
As we get started,
Find yourself somewhere comfortable,
Whether it be sitting or laying is up to you,
Making sure that your back's supported,
That you're comfortable and that you're in a balanced posture.
Sat up straight or laid flat on your back,
Maybe a pillow to support your head,
But somewhere comfortable,
Somewhere you can just let go and relax.
And now as we get started,
You can close your eyes if you haven't done so already.
Allow yourself to start focusing on your breath.
Start to settle yourself into a nice deep breathing rhythm.
Whether you breathe in and out through your nose or your mouth is entirely up to you,
Whichever is the most comfortable for you.
Just allowing yourself to breathe deeply.
Notice the sensations of where the breath goes when you breathe in.
Do you feel it more through your nose or mouth?
Do you feel it go down the back of your throat?
Do you feel it enter into your lungs or expanding your abdomen?
Notice the sensations of when you're breathing out.
Do you feel your abdomen contract?
The air going up the back of your throat or passing your lips or the very edge of your nostrils?
Notice every sensation as you breathe in and breathe out and just continue to focus on your breath.
Allowing yourself to just be here in this moment right now.
Allowing yourself to just focus on the simple task of breathing in and breathing out.
If your mind wanders that's okay,
That's perfectly natural.
Just bring yourself back to focusing on your breath and those sensations.
Just take a few moments now to concentrate on those sensations and be completely in this moment.
And now as you sit or lay there with your eyes closed,
Looking into the darkness,
You notice in the distance you start to see a light.
A bright white light,
Not so bright that it blinds you but bright enough that you notice it clearly.
That white starts to move towards you.
That clear white light coming towards you,
Brightening everything that's inside.
It travels towards you at speed.
Somehow you know,
You just know that that is safe,
Is relaxing,
Is calm and yet it's energy at the same time.
The light moves closer and closer towards you,
Brightening everything around you and everything within you as well.
As it covers your entire body,
It moves closer and closer until eventually it connects with you.
But it doesn't just connect with any and every part of you,
It connects with your heart.
It seems to hit you square in the chest with a soft thump that feels almost natural.
And as it connects with your heart,
Your heart starts to shine its own light.
And the two lights connect and it's like being plugged in,
Plugged into pure energy.
The energy courses around your body with every heartbeat and with every breath.
The energy flows to you,
Through you and from within you.
The energy builds,
The energy of joy,
The energy of love,
The energy of gratitude and fulfillment,
The energy of forgiveness and light.
They flow through you,
They flow to you and they flow within you.
At this point it's hard to tell whether the light is traveling into you or out from your heart.
For your heart gives off that light and gives off that energy and allows you to expand into the day.
That light flows within you,
Giving you all the energy you need to love,
To learn,
To grow,
To give and to be.
As you now let that light shine from within you,
It's like a beam of pure energy going out from your chest and lighting the world,
Lighting your way and lighting the path for others as you go.
As you're surrounded by the light that you give and the light that enters you,
Just be this light.
Be this light of love,
Of joy,
Of gratitude,
Of fulfillment.
Just for a few moments,
Just be the light.
And with every breath in,
You take in pure energy and with every breath out the energy doubles.
And with every breath in,
You take in pure energy and with every breath out the energy doubles.
It's like being plugged in to an electrical socket and being recharged for the day.
Your charge meter is at full.
You are ready to take on the day with love,
Joy and gratitude flowing to you,
Through you and from within you,
Allowing your light to shine,
Allowing your light to lead the way to love and growth and contribution,
To the path of fulfillment.
And as you keep that light within you and allow that light to shine from you,
You can now start to open your eyes as we come towards the end of this meditation.
Allow yourself to come back to wherever you are,
Filled with the energy that that light has provided,
Filled with the joy,
The love and the fulfillment the light has given you for today.
Have a great day.
Until the next time,
Goodbye for now.
