Hello,
My friends.
This is a meditation to connect a little bit deeper with the kindness that we all carry within us,
That love that we all have inside at all times.
This is here by HMT where we find reasons why right here is the best place to be.
If you can,
My friend,
Please close down your eyes.
If you're not in a space to do so,
Just bring them to a gentle gaze.
Let's take a big beautiful inhale,
Breath through your nose here,
Inhale,
Exhale.
Another big breath here,
Inhale this time from the bottom of your belly,
Inhale,
Fill up,
Expand.
Take up space like you're meant to in this world,
Exhale.
Last,
Biggest,
Deepest one here,
Inhale from the bottoms of your feet,
Up your legs,
Your torso,
Inhale,
Inhale,
Hold at the top,
Inhale 5% more,
Exhale,
Let something go.
Now,
Perhaps you can hear some of the sounds around me.
I'm currently in Bali,
Indonesia,
And I'm coming on dusk,
So perhaps you can begin to hear the sounds of nature coming alive or going to sleep.
And within these sounds,
Can we start to tune in,
Can we begin to tap into how every song,
How every lyric within nature itself is a love note,
One shared with us to remind us how we are all,
In fact,
Connected.
The frog croaks,
The birds sing,
The roosters make their presence known because we seek connection.
We seek to be heard,
To be seen,
To be felt.
And my friend,
If we pause long enough to listen,
To remember that we are,
In fact,
Never alone,
There is so much right here.
Let's take a big,
Beautiful inhale breath into this knowing inhale,
Exhale.
Another big breath here,
Inhale,
Exhale.
Last one here,
My friend,
Inhale,
Breathing in as you listen to those sounds starting to expand and grow,
Become louder,
Exhale.
And as this symphony of sounds continues,
A serenade of surrender.
Can you allow that feeling to settle on your skin,
That feeling of surrender?
My friend,
Stop gripping so hard because when we take this moment to sink below the surface,
What is here,
My friend,
Is a whole world,
Your heart,
This place of unconditional love,
This place where tenderness is born,
This place that shows up through the challenge that reminds you of your strength,
But is here to hold you in the softness.
And in this moment,
As you connect,
As you tune in,
Can we begin to sense,
Can we begin to feel even just an ounce of kindness here?
Kindness for ourselves for showing up every single day in the way that we do.
Kindness for the nature around us,
The trees that share their oxygen,
The birds that sing their songs,
The ocean that reminds us of our strength and our serenity.
Let's take a big,
Beautiful inhale breath here,
My friend,
And do this kindness within the depths of your heart,
The center of your planet,
Of your self.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Another deep inhale breath here,
My friend.
Inhale,
Fill up,
Expand.
Exhale.
Last,
Biggest,
Deepest one,
Inhale,
Really fill up,
Fill up,
Fill up from the center of your heart,
The seed of your soul.
Feel this kindness now start to spread across your whole body,
Your entire being,
Inhale.
Exhale,
Let that go.
Perhaps you can feel a tingling sensation here,
My friend.
Once again,
Allow the sounds of nature to land within your ear and remind you of all that is here,
This sweet serenade,
This song,
This connection.
If you have the space to do so,
If you have the capacity right now,
My friend,
I invite you to think of someone that you wish to share this feeling with,
That you would like to spread this kindness that has bubbled to the surface from within you to them.
Perhaps today,
My friend,
This stays within you.
Perhaps you have long been seeking this kindness and it has been far too many days that you have not felt this within you.
If that is the case,
You keep this sacred within yourself.
You hold this here within you.
And if not,
You think of that person,
You're ready to share this with my friend.
You breathe in here,
Inhale,
Fill up,
Start to feel that feeling spread even further across your whole body,
Your entire being now.
Fill up until it spreads and moves its way past your body all the way to them,
Landing in their heart,
In their being,
In their soul.
Notice what happens when it lands in their heart.
They start to feel this feeling to this love that you cultivated,
That you connected to,
That you grew from within,
My friend,
Is now being felt in their heart too.
Exhale,
Inhale,
Exhale,
Send that airway even stronger.
Last one,
Inhale,
Exhale.
Ah,
Feel that connecting you here and feel how good this feels within you too,
My friend.
Take one more final deep breath in here.
Whichever path you chose,
Breathe into that kindness,
Breathe into this incredible love with it.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Stay with this feeling,
My friend,
And remember that this kindness,
This connection is always,
Always,
Slowly,
Slowly coming back to wherever you are.
Drawn back by,
Once again,
The call of the birds,
The serenade,
The reminder that we are all connected,
That we all wish to be heard,
To be seen,
To be felt,
To be shown.
Take one final breath here,
Inhale.
Exhale.
When you're ready and only if and when you are ready,
My friend,
Softly,
Slowly opening your eyes.
