Welcome to this short uplifting meditation designed to relax you to the core of your being.

Before we get started,

Just find a comfortable position,

Whatever that means to you.

Letting your spine be straight,

But not rigid.

Maybe your hands rest softly in your lap.

Or maybe you're lying down.

Do whatever feels most comfortable for you.

This meditation is designed to help you relax and calm the nervous system.

So whatever makes you happy in this moment is the right thing to do.

Take a few deep breaths in through the nose,

And exhale through the mouth,

Letting go.

Feeling your whole body beginning to relax with each progressive exhalation.

Do this at your own pace,

According to your own comfort level.

Now imagine that you are a candle,

And your spine is the wick,

Lighting up your entire body from within.

Pushing out any darkness,

Shadow,

Toxins,

Or foreign bodies that do not belong.

This will happen entirely from within,

Generated by your own source.

The presence that lives within you and all beings.

You are the co-creator here.

Just listen to the words as they ebb and flow in your brain,

Permeating all connective tissues,

Bones,

Blood,

Nerves,

And cells.

Every aspect of your body,

Lit up from within.

Once your body is entirely illuminated,

It will continue to radiate as you rest back in peace.

Aware of the bliss that is restoring,

Rejuvenating,

And refreshing your body,

Mind,

And spirit.

Totally recalibrated.

The first layer,

Closest to our core,

Is love.

See how love coats the entire length of the spine.

From the tip of the tailbone to the base of the brain.

Branching out in all the neural pathways along the spine,

And into the nooks and crannies of the brain.

Left hemisphere,

Right hemisphere,

Front to back,

Prefrontal cortex,

Pineal and pituitary glands,

Cerebellum,

Hypothalamus,

Right hemisphere,

Left hemisphere,

Front to back,

Amygdala relaxing.

Love flowing into all these parts,

Depositing an incandescent residue that will remain with you forever.

Joy is the next layer,

Building on love.

Sealing love in and binding it to the core with fluidity.

Watch as joy flows out,

Illuminated by love.

Flowing into the bloodstream,

Circulating,

Swirling and dancing,

Twirling and jubilation.

Peace rests on top of love and joy,

Enveloping the energies below,

While permitting them access to all parts of the body.

Peace sinks down into the core,

And peace rises up into the brain.

Once more,

Sealed in and yet,

Paradoxically everywhere.

Notice the light of peace radiating out with love and joy.

Patience,

Sweet patience,

Hovers over the peace,

Love and joy.

Flowing smoothly,

Easily,

Effortlessly.

Calm and quiet,

It instills itself into the fibers,

Nerves and cells,

The farthest parts of your being.

Alert and aware,

Patience responds to whatever is brought her way.

Kindness,

Goodness and gentleness swirl throughout the body.

Flowing into the mind,

Easing the spirit.

They adhere to love,

Joy,

Peace and patience.

A humble trinity,

Kindness,

Goodness and gentleness radiate,

Amplify and magnify these qualities garnered with time.

Kindness so nurturing and tender.

Kindness full of love for all creation,

Generous and altruistic.

Gentleness,

Calm in the face of adversity,

Surrendering but not succumbing to experience,

Learning from it with quiet awareness.

Faithfulness trusts.

Trusts in the divinity of the plan,

Most especially when the plan eludes us.

It is always there,

Eternal.

As we trust in the natural inborn waves that carry us closer to the shores of ourselves and our true nature,

We trust in the natural waves inherent in all of life.

Birth,

Death,

Rebirth.

Eternally born and recreated.

Trust in the plan as it flows up and down,

Front to back,

Side to side,

Within the walls of your cells.

Self-control is fertile ground for growing.

Like all of the fruit,

It takes time to grow self-control.

It is fruit born out of other fruit,

Love,

Joy,

Peace,

Patience,

Kindness,

Goodness,

Gentleness and faithfulness.

This is the place where we rebuild,

Having received and returned this gift to others.

Fertilize self-control with an open heart,

Watching it pump through the four chambers of your heart and flow into the furthest reaches of your body.

All of these fruit are infinite,

Eternal.

They never die because they are gifts of creation.

Rejoice in these fruit.

They are always available to you.

They belong to you.

Receive these precious gifts and give thanks for the indwelling presence that shares them with you.

Your meditations are soothing, grounding, reassuring. I so appreciate and benefit from your specific anatomical references. Ironically helps me get out of my head when working through migraines or dizziness. Hoping for more tracks…. Beautiful imagery in this one!
