Hey there, This is Jen with Laughing Lotus Wellness. Welcome to our meditation practice. So welcome into our meditation, Balance Peace in the Heart Parts. I invite you to take a comfortable seat or lie down. Making yourself really comfortable, Making those adjustments necessary to feel really comfortable and relaxed. And beginning to deepen and lengthen the breath. I will always invite you to close the eyes or soften the gaze, Finding a focal point so that you're really bringing all of your awareness and insight inward. So taking time to relax, Settle in, Anchor in. I invite you today to begin our journey by tapping into the layers of your being and just bringing awareness into how that physical body is feeling. Just noticing and releasing. Just noticing and releasing that layer of the being. Whatever was in the physical space is just to bring it into awareness. And again, I invite you always to be an observer. Just observing what's happening. So as you go through the layers, Looking for any gripping or holding, Tension, Stress, Also lightness that you might go inward and feel that there is a space in your body that is feeling really good. So moving into the next layer of the mind. The mind is a busy space and the ego wants to press in and fill our time and energy with loops of thoughts. Just flowing into the mind space. Noting how the mind is showing up today. And releasing that layer, We move into the emotions and how we're showing up emotionally today. How are you feeling emotionally this morning, This afternoon or in the evening? Where are you showing up in the emotions? And releasing that layer of being, Moving into that next layer of insight, Wisdom and intuition. And what is the intuition telling you today? How is the wisdom showing up for your highest good today? Breathing and listening for the whisper of insight. Always anchoring in with that breath, Always coming back to the breath. And last we move inward to that layer of bliss, Purest consciousness. Just tapping into how you are showing up in your soul. Inviting you to notice how all the layers are made of energy. And they represent the different layers of experience and what you're made up of. And sensing that inner light and energy here as you release the layer of energy suits that we wear, One after the other. You can almost imagine walking out of one to remove the next and step out. It's powerful to be able to step into the soul into the light of that pure energy. And for today we begin our journey as always setting the tone of our practice. By creating an intention or setting a sankalpa for yourself using my words as your words if they resonate. I am grateful to observe my heart parts so that I can transform into a place of balance within that awareness giving myself the room to navigate into my highest good. I am grateful to observe my heart parts so that I can transform into a place of balance within that awareness giving myself the room to navigate into my highest good. I am grateful to observe my heart parts so that I can transform into a place of balance within that awareness giving myself the room to navigate into my highest good. And for today, We begin a journey of a thousand steps. For today, Our steps will be of an imagined nature. Because really the soul floats like a dandelion wish. And I invite you to tap into that sense of movement and of energy flowing in a forward direction as we float into a vast landscape of beauty. And here we notice that everything shimmers and it is as if a veil that covers our awareness has been lifted. Looking around, We can see the energy in all things. Beginning to notice that there is a sound in the earth. As you float along, You can sense the rootedness of the earth. A sense of energy greets you from the brown and red earth and it feels like being rooted. Even though you are floating. Seeing the aura from the earth, A loving and sweet energy floats up off the earth and greets you as you flow over it. Seeing a stand of trees on the left, Seeing the shimmer of energy as they greet you along the journey. As if waving to you and saying, Friend, It is so good to see you again. You nod and smile, Sending gratitude and joy to them. These trees are such beautiful reminders for staying rooted and grounded but flexible. And the colors they exude are magnificent. The running river off to the right is flowing as well, Almost matching your movement and seeing the energy flow off of the river and the life within it. The river too reminds us of carving our way through the life with gentle movement, Gentle energy. Sometimes the river is rough and moving at a fast pace, Taking things out as it goes. And today we are in awe of the meandering weight is flowing, Incredible beauty in it. And as you sense the voice of the river, It says, Welcome back, My friend. May you carve your way into awareness of how you can be more like me today, Slowly meandering, Observing and making changes gently as you flow. Finally, A butterfly also comes up alongside you and it is a vibrant shade of every color. Some of them you're not even familiar with. And she says to you, Brilliant soul, I am so glad to share space with you again. I have been waiting. You are about to embark and transformation and can you feel that? I invite you to spread your wings like I do, To flow along the currents of life, Making many adjustments to stay balanced along the way. You too can adopt this way of being. I cannot wait to see how your wings will spread wide in the current of life and create shifts with every single beat of your wings. You are powerful beyond measure and today you will see that. And seeing and experiencing the essence of the beings around you is absolutely astounding. It is as if you just woke up to how the world really is. Not the one your very human form experiences much of the time, But you are also aware that the more time you spend in this place, The more you will take this magical experience with you to continue to see through this lens. And seeing a mountain ahead, You send your energy out towards its presence, The energy flowing out of this stone, The rootedness of it, The strength of it, The majesty. As if being called by an old friend, You begin to be aware of your anticipation. This place is so familiar to you. And you begin to see the other dandelion wishes here floating towards you on the trail and sense the vibration in them. They too are on this journey. You can sense their joy and encouragement they send to you as they move away. This is a surreal and dreamy place and the energy and life here in all the things is so profound. And as you come around to bend in the trail, There is an opening into the mountain and the door into it is shimmering opalescence. You are instantly aware that this is sacred place and not everyone is able to see it at all times. You see more of the dandelion wishes coming towards you and passing you as they exit. And you can hear their intentions for you and one another. May you be rooted. May you be at peace. May you know yourself in this journey. May you be surrounded by loving kindness and compassion. Be open to expansion. You are filled with the most beautiful sense of community, Connection and love with these beings even though you cannot see their traditional human form. You can sense that this is the best version of each of them. That you are being blessed to witness the light and divinity of their souls. And as you walk through the slot canyon walls that shimmer coral pink and purple, The vibration is emanating in this space. It is beyond what you have experienced and it is holy. The path begins to appear made of beautiful stone, Amethyst in color and there's an opening into a circular space up ahead. Before you enter this building, You have the deepest sense of being rooted to the earth as you begin to sense a vortex of energy surrounding you as it begins its rotation around and around as it winds its way up, Becoming aware that you are being prepared and cleansed before you enter the sanctuary. That whatever is no longer serving you is being gathered up in this vortex and swept up and away from you. Having an incredible sensation of lightness and tingling fills you all the way through every cell as the energy moves up and away and the most profound shift is in your mind. Fears, Doubts and judgments begin to drift away as if on a current of energy leaving your mind open and receptive and the best it has ever felt, Cleaner, Clearer and with the deepest awareness of the beauty of life that is flowing around you. And now perceiving that energy as it pulls you forward into the beautiful sanctuary. In this incredible space there are seven big flat stones, The colors of the rainbow. The walls appear as if they go on forever into opalescence shifting and moving along the walls. You know that this is a sacred place of wisdom and travel. You can hardly stand the curiosity and you move to touch the walls and it shimmers when you do. Ripples float away from your energy and there's a feeling of static, Not painful, Just sensation along the wall. And where you sense the wall space begins to open and you instinctively know that it is safe to move through the veil. And with the breath moving through that space and the veil, A voice begins to talk softly in your mind and you are instantly aware that it is not your voice. It is melodic and soft, Beautiful and confident. You are ready. Believe in yourself as you press into the wall and trust where you will come out on the other side. And the voice now asks, What are you needing from this sacred place? And you answer with a clear and heartfelt awareness. I want to step into my highest self, The best version of me without the fear, Struggle, Doubts, The ego. I want to understand how to be in balance, To observe the ways I can challenge my own journey at times, To develop loving awareness that will support my living into my highest good and purpose. And so it is, The voice says, And you feel the energetic and magnetic pull to the wall feeling the static envelope you as you flow all the way through into a new space. The ceiling is covered with a beautiful sunset energy and you can see the myriad of dandelion wishes floating on the breeze, Bumping into one another and as they do, They light up like small filaments. Become aware that this is symbolic for how we leave energy with one another. Two stones sit in the center of the room, Appearing to be made of a deep ruby and shimmer in the space. It is warm and comfortable and has been the most wonderful place for peace, Joy and love you've ever experienced, Like being hugged on the inside. Taking a seat, You notice a form moving through the wall and take shape, It is you, You and not exactly you. This you is lit in light, Walks with complete confidence and almost floats and you can see that same type of light you noticed before right in the center of your being. It is as if you can see iridescent form with light in the core, But you can make out that it is your soul. It is dancing and shimmering, Beautiful light and you observe this with the deepest sense of knowing and connection. And as you sit here and take this in, Tears slide down your face. This being is so certain, So kind and loving, Vibrant and radiant, Just to be in the energy as you're feeling lighter, Clearer, Present and connected. This beautiful version of you invites conversation through the mind and it moves forward and enveloping you in an energetic embrace and is like being wrapped in sunshine. An electricity that is buzzing with wisdom, Insight, Light and love. Deep compassion is rolling off this version of you in waves. They say welcome back, It is so good to see you again. Please relax and release. Allow yourself to observe the journey that you are on. This beautiful version of you explains when people live in the human world long enough they can forget this essence of their soul in a sacred space. Our souls awaken with time and then we are drawn here to more deeply connect to our souls and purpose. I am going to unravel the struggle and pain you hold as you allow. If you trust me, I can take the struggles and like a knot unravel the threads that get tied within. And as you breathe, The most profound shift you sense is that your heart as if no weight whatsoever. This clarity and exquisite lightness exists where the heart used to feel so heavy. And in this moment it is floating and light, So beautiful. You have this sense of yourself and its atoms slowly releasing and coming undone so that your outer barriers floating outward in all directions and into all the spaces, Times and dimensions. And they say I invite you here to consider unraveling the habits, Traits and struggles that keep you from feeling balanced. As you made your way here, Your earth energy friends greeted you and prepared you with the skills to navigate this. Allow your heart space to be a vessel for growth. Pausing here as you bring observed awareness to the traits that prevent balance and as you breathe, Allow awareness to float in and see it as if from a distance. You are more less. After tapping into your awareness, You begin to sense the same vortex of energy you experienced earlier, Moving and wiping away the struggle, And leaving you with answers. Breathing here, Listening in for your highest self to share the solutions to living with more balance. Breathing here, Listening in for your highest self to share the solutions to living with more balance. And finally this version of you says, My love, This is your divinity. It is your human experience that teaches you otherwise. You are a part of the mystery. You have profound work to do on earth in that earthly body. You have seen and experienced the expansive capacity of your soul. I invite you to take the answers you've received and hold them in that soul heart space. As you leave here today, I am filling you with the ability to remember. I am placing this extra spark of light in your mind and heart for thinking thoughts, Creating habits that create more balance. Send you off now to step into your highest good for having observed and felt the potential of living in greater balance. Remembering this innate goodness of light within and know you can reach into that beautiful illumination in the darkness whenever you need. Seeing and feeling your incredible soul illumination, The radiance, And know that balance allows you to step more fully into the purpose of your time. And pausing here, You share gratitude with this version of you for sharing the wisdom that you might have more peace in the heart places. And the last thought they share with you is this, You are welcome here inside your sweetheart inside your kindness, Peace and compassion. You can travel here anytime to come from a reminder or to travel elsewhere to support your purpose and highest good. All you have to do is visit me here. Trust that I will be here. There are no words to define this experience, But you send love, Light and gratitude to this highest version of you. This deep sense of light, Clarity, Purpose and balance leave you feeling as if you are pure light now going back out in the world to share your gifts. And pressing back through the veil of the wall into the circular space, The circle of stones floating back out through the luminescent and shimmering door. And as you see other lights moving, You send blessings onto them. May you be at peace. May you be the light. May you be love and give love. And sensing the love flowing freely among these wishes, You are feeling so rooted, Grounded, Balanced and blessed. And finding your way down the mountain, Sensing the energy flowing through your body, The clarity and lightness. As we return to our sankalpa intention for practice, Using my words as your words if they resonate, I am grateful to observe my heart parts so that I can transform into a place of balance within that awareness, Giving myself the room to navigate into my highest good. I am grateful to observe my heart parts so that I can transform into a place of balance within that awareness, Giving myself the room to navigate into my highest good. I am grateful to observe my heart parts so that I can transform into a place of balance within that awareness, Giving myself the room to navigate into my highest good. And slowly returning now to the earth body, Feeling the sense of muscles and bones, Rooted and anchored into the physical plane. Paying attention to how you are feeling, Just observing the soul in this earth body, The clarity, Peace and balance. And now bringing awareness to the breath and the body as it expands the chest, Ribs and belly, Bringing in vital life force energy, Sensing the flow of the breath. And beginning to run the thumbs across the ends of the fingertips, Wiggling fingers and toes, I invite you to rub your hands together, Creating sensation and warmth and placing both hands over your heart as you breathe here in gratitude for your journey and awareness. As if a gentle warm hug for the heart parts. I'm pausing here for a moment to consider how you will take that felt sense of having visited that highest self, Highest version of you, A deep sense of balance, A sense of deep awareness and purpose. As we gently close our practice, I encourage you to remember this sense of balance and internal peace, To return to the sacred space on a regular basis and use this journey to remember the truest form. And as we close, I say to each of you, The peace in me honors the peace in all of you, Creating balance as one in this soul journey from a place of love and light. Namaste.
