Welcome to our guided meditation for human connection.
Please make yourself comfortable and we will begin.
In this meditation,
We will be tuning our consciousness into our connection with ourselves,
Our loved ones,
And the world.
This is your chance to feel your deep connection with everything.
This sound bath features music played by myself and the ever-talented singing bowl and ASMR's Ruby True ASMR.
Until I met Ruby,
I'd never played the singing bowls with another musician before and having this new interaction brought me such a deep sense of joy and fulfillment.
Being able to share that connection we have through this art form and through these instruments.
In this session,
We will tap into that innate need for connection.
Let's take some gentle breaths in as we check in with our body and mind.
Breathe in through your nose and gently exhale through your nose.
Breathe in through your nose and gently exhale through your nose.
One more breath in through your nose and gently exhale through your nose.
Now continue to mindfully breathe simple,
Normal breathing in and out throughout this session.
How does your body feel?
Can you feel your bones and muscles relaxing with each breath?
Allow your body to melt into your seat as you sink into this deep comfort.
How are you feeling emotionally?
Many of us experience difficult emotions while we are alone and the importance of connection and community is vital to our well-being.
The way life unfolds doesn't always make it easy for us to keep in touch with the human connections that we desire the most.
This can leave us feeling empty and at times even depressed.
Though there are tools we can use when we are alone to reconnect ourselves with the people that we care about right from the very place from which we sit.
Let's begin to deepen our connection with ourselves and the world.
Take another deep breath in through your nose and exhale.
Feel your body relax even deeper into your seat.
Give the comfort of the cushion below you and recognize how that cushion also connects to the surface below that which in turn connects to the ground and the earth we live on.
All of the people you love and care about are also connected to this very ground you sit upon.
Though we may feel alone at times,
We all share the same surface of the same planet.
I want you to feel the comfort of this connection through your entire body.
Feel the embrace of our earth holding you on its surface,
Holding us all together.
We are all connected because we are on the same planet,
Every one of us standing on the very same surface.
Holding these thoughts of comfort can rest as a reminder in your consciousness that you are never alone.
We stand on this surface together.
We are all a part of this experience together.
No matter where we are in the world,
We stand on the same ground,
Connected as living beings co-creating this experience of life together.
Feel your breath gently breathing in and out.
In and out as you feel the calm of this moment in your connection to all things.
You are exactly where you're supposed to be.
Safe on earth.
Safe in your space.
Allow your breath to calm your thoughts.
Calm your body.
As you feel the earth holding you in a warm embrace.
Feel that warmth.
I now want you to think of someone you would love to see and be with right now.
Visualize them as best as you can in your mind's eye.
See them standing wherever they are in the world.
Standing on the same earth that we're all connected to.
Feel how they are touching the same surface as you.
Though they might be far from your location,
They're connected to the same ground that you are and in turn are connected to you in this very moment.
Now let's send them some love.
Observe your heart beating.
Now imagine your heartbeat pulsing into the ground below you and moving as a wave across the earth until it reaches their feet and rises into their body.
Feel every heartbeat pulsing with deep love and connection that you feel for them and trust that every wave from your heart is flowing into them in this very moment.
Pulse after pulse,
Beat after beat.
Send them love from your heart through the ground and up through their feet.
Right now in your mind and on this earth,
You are connected to them and always will be.
You are not alone and you are never alone.
Every person,
Every animal,
Every living thing on this planet is all connected by this beautiful connection to our earth.
Even the stars and the planets are connected to us as they dance around each other in a cosmic harmony of interconnectedness with the earth and the celestial bodies around them.
Feel the embrace of our planet.
Feel the embrace of this deep connection with everything.
Breathe.
Feel your lungs expand.
And exhale as your body continues to relax.
Breathe in and breathe out.
Breathe in and breathe out.
Feel how relaxed your body has become.
How at peace your mind has become.
Observe the fullness of your heart as you embrace this newfound connection with yourself,
Your friends,
Your loved ones,
And the world.
This connection serves as a reminder that you are never alone.
No matter where you are in the world or what you're doing,
We are all together,
Unified as one beautiful race of human beings.
Whenever you feel lonely or sad,
You can relive this experience and tune into the earth below you,
Trusting that your heartbeat will pulse through our world and pour into those who are in your thoughts.
The rest of this sound bath is for you to continue deepening your connections on your own.
Be sure to breathe and relax as these feelings surface and release within you.
We are all connected and that is truly the gift of life.
Thank you so much for taking this time to connect with not only yourself,
But the world.
Thank you.
