Within,
Inside.
Hello,
It's Josephine and I hope this finds you well.
Many moons ago,
In what feels like another lifetime,
I had the pleasure of listening many,
Many times
to a Mahatma
and there was a phrase he always used in his satsangs
which was
within,
Inside.
Those two words have remained with me
and now I am inspired to use them too.
Take a few moments to get really,
Really comfortable
as we will be focusing for the following 20 minutes or so
and ideally we will be completely still
and completely quiet.
When you are ready,
Let's begin.
As always,
The easiest way to focus within
is to first close your eyes
and then take your awareness to your breath.
Allow your breathing to slow down
and make each new breath slightly longer than the previous one.
This process has a wonderful,
Calming effect on the entire body and mind.
Just allow it to happen.
Enjoy this feeling and simply be.
Simply be within,
Inside and observe what you feel and what you see.
And when your mind wanders too far,
Allow your awareness to return back to your breath.
Within,
Inside is a sacred place that exists in every living being.
We humans are the ones who have been gifted with the ability
to not only direct our focus
but to also be able to access our inner vision,
To see with our invisible inner eye.
Yes,
Sure,
It takes practice.
That's what meditation can be.
But it's not complicated
or difficult.
It's actually the opposite.
It is simple
and it is easy.
And that's one of the biggest secrets I ever discovered way back in the day.
With that said,
Be aware of your heart space and feel the peace
that is our natural state.
Peace is not only the absence of conflict.
It is a state of being an actual presence.
Feel the magnificence of this fullness which is akin to a companion.
A companion who is always there.
Knowing this alone is one of the most enjoyable aspects of taking the time to focus.
The time to meditate.
The time to commune with the presence of the one who resides inside.
And just be here.
Rest here.
Enjoy just simply being.
Just for now.
There is nothing else to do but to experience the beauty of who you truly are.
Which is divine.
Remaining still and focused,
Softly breathing.
Looking into the divine light.
Behind your closed eyes.
Resting in your heart space.
Without expectation.
Just a simple acceptance of the beauty and utter perfection.
The beauty and the perfection that always exists within inside.
Always and always.
Now and forever.
Know that you are loved.
You are loved.
You are loved.
And so it is.
