Life has it's own current, a pulse that beats through every sentient being. It can be really easy to resist this current, trying to force things to go a certain way in our lives. This meditation helps you open your hand and allow yourself to flow with the current of life, trusting the divine path that is meant for you and only you.

Welcome.

This is a process to support you in navigating the ups and downs and twists and turns of life.

Life has a current.

It's always moving.

And part of our journey as human beings on this planet is to learn how to move with that current,

How to work with that current,

How to trust that current.

And as things get busy and bigger in our lives,

Sometimes that current can feel so powerful and so big that we must control,

Fix,

Or manage.

But when we do that,

We push our life force against the very thing that wants us to flourish.

We start fighting the bigger forces that we can never win against.

We start fighting for things that are not ours to begin with.

So this is an invitation to let go,

To trust,

And to feel the pulse of life moving through you in such a way that you can trust yourself,

You can trust the current,

You can trust life.

Find yourself somewhere comfortable,

Either seated or lying down.

And in this moment,

Just choose to be here.

Choose to let everything that has been swirling go,

Knowing that anything that you need to handle or visit with or deal with will be waiting for you when you're finished.

But right now,

You're choosing to be here,

To slow down and connect with the pulse of life that is beating within you.

So closing your eyes and just letting yourself breathe.

Notice the rise and fall of your chest or your belly.

Feel the subtle sensations of the body doing what it's always been designed to do.

Noticing how simple it is.

In and out,

In and out,

In and out,

All the while your heart is beating.

See if you can tune into your own heartbeat here.

Even if you can't actually feel it,

Is there a rhythm that you experience in your mind when you choose to tune in?

Can you feel life here in this moment?

Can you feel that life moves through you,

Whether you consciously choose to allow it or not?

That no matter what,

This body will continue to live until something interrupts it.

As you acknowledge that,

I want you to tune in to what you feel most grateful for in your life right now.

Can you feel the pulse of love that connects you to everything you are grateful for?

Thinking about how you arrived at having all of this right here.

The ease in breathing in,

The trust that all of these pieces are meant for you.

Feeling your energy open like a palm,

Opening to allow everything to just sit on top gently,

And feeling how as you do that,

These pieces remain because they're true.

Everything that is meant for you will be here.

You cannot mess it up.

You cannot lose it.

And if it leaves,

It will come back.

There is nothing you need to force or fight.

You simply need to trust the current of life,

The greater plan happening beyond the stars.

The very thing that you were meant to do in this life or be in this life will happen.

Feeling how much energy can go in to steering yourself with the current of the river rather than fighting against it.

Feel the exhale and the choice to hop on the raft and let yourself be taken,

Not without responsibility or in a collapsed state,

But as the steward of the raft,

Navigating the twists and turns,

Being one with the river itself,

Inviting the drops and the twists and the shifts and the current and the rapids.

Feeling the vastness of what operates behind the scenes in your life every single moment,

A perfect mirror for the vastness of everything that happens within your body without you ever feeling or noticing it.

The orchestra of organs communicating,

Thriving here and now.

The orchestra of organs communicating,

Thriving,

Healing,

Moving,

Growing,

Shedding.

A perfect reflection of the universal forces happening beyond anything you could ever imagine.

It's magic.

So allow yourself to just be in the magic of this life,

To trust the river,

To trust the current.

And when things get too big or busy,

To stop and breathe,

To feel your heartbeat,

Your eternal pulse,

Here for you until your time is up.

Taking a big deep breath in here,

Letting it go with a sigh,

And when you're ready,

Open your eyes to meet the world with new trust.
