Om Shanti.
It is with great pleasure that I begin this 21 day program of soul sustenance in affiliation with the Brahma Kumaris where we will be connecting to our higher self and exploring the power and beauty that lies within.
In everyday's meditation I will use the term Om Shanti.
This simply translates to I am peace.
Peace is our true and original nature and as we stabilize the self in this state we allow ourselves to dive deeper within.
Today we are going to explore and connect to our higher purpose.
We often find our self wondering what is the purpose of my life?
Is my life only about studying,
Working,
Earning and looking after the family?
That is the purpose of the roles we play.
As a parent,
A spouse or professional etc.
We have our duties and responsibilities.
However my purpose refers to the purpose of the soul.
Like the purpose of the role is to perform every responsibility well.
Similarly the purpose of the soul is to be in its original quality and radiate that to all at all times.
While doing even the mundane tasks of the day if our mind is happy and peaceful we are fulfilling our higher purpose and we begin to radiate those vibrations into the world.
What we are doing is the purpose of the role.
How we are being while we are doing is my higher purpose.
So today we will pay attention to the abundance that surrounds us recognizing our higher purpose.
So let's begin with today's meditation.
Take a deep breath in and as you exhale allow your body to relax.
Take another deep breath in and feel the body being relaxed with every breath out and recharged with every breath in.
Let go of all unwanted thoughts for a little while and turn your attention within.
Become aware of who you are.
You are not this body but the being within the body.
A being of happiness,
A being of joy,
A being of bliss,
Purity,
Power.
Just now allow yourself to go on to a journey where you will explore what it is you want out of your life and what it is that you feel so strongly about.
Imagine yourself standing in front of a lake.
You observe the vastness of this lake.
You notice a boat floating by the shoreline.
You step into this boat and start to drift to the center of the lake.
As you move away from the shore you realize that you are detaching from your roles and responsibilities and going deeper into just being.
You observe the clear blue sky and feel the serenity of the lake.
The stillness of the lake brings a sense of inner calm.
As you look into the distance you begin to envision your purpose.
You see it manifesting into a reality for you.
You begin to notice the feelings it creates within your soul.
You play with this idea and manifest a few more goals or dreams you hold.
Envisioning them as you become aware of the feelings.
These feelings become a reality for you.
These feelings are so natural to you.
You begin to understand that the true manifestation of a goal or dream are the inner feelings that go with it.
Soon it will be time to return back to where you began your journey.
But you return with a clear,
Calm mind.
Gently as the boat approaches the shore you step out and come back to the awareness of your current surroundings.
You become aware of your body and breath.
And when you feel ready you gently open your eyes.
You may continue to use this meditation to help you when you need to manifest a goal or dream that is important to you.
So today behold the abundance that surrounds you.
Recognizing your higher purpose.
Om Shanti.
