Homecomings #3 - Welcoming Your Community

This is a quick yet meaningful and fulfilling mindful exercise for those wishing to hone their abilities for acknowledgment. A "homecoming" exercise will allow the listener to access, safely the feelings associated with specific subjects of support and well-being.

Transcript

There are seven homecomings.

The seven homecomings can be practiced formally or informally,

Individually or with a group.

Often I evoke my homecomings as I move through the world.

Right now,

We will be focused upon the homecoming of community.

So now,

I will invite you to find a securing and comfortable position.

I'll invite you to soften your gaze.

If it feels right,

You may close your eyes.

For a moment,

Turn your attention to your breathing.

And together,

Let's take a deep breath in,

Full and expansive.

And when you reach exhale,

Please do so with a sigh.

Now I will invite you to begin by reflecting about the communities,

Groups and spaces where you experience love or the feeling of being accepted and supported in being happy.

Moreover,

What are the communities and groups not only where you feel loved,

But also where you feel as if you can love and return love back to others?

Where do you feel safe to love?

Where are you being loved?

Invite those communities and groups into the space around you.

And if you don't feel as if there's a space like that for you,

Then you can invite the aspiration to be a part of a loving space into this space as well.

Say welcome to your communities.

Relax.

Inhale.

Exhale.

And come home to being held by your communities.

I am Calvani,

Now.

Thank you.

Thank you.
