Welcome to today's meditation.
If you haven't already,
Take the time to work through the part of the workbook of zero to oneness in regards to anger,
Fear,
And doubt.
And just write down the thoughts in your mind and attempt to empty that space and create room for new thoughts and new ideas.
Write down your to-do list so that your mind can relax.
And whenever you're ready,
Find yourself in a comfortable position and sitting.
Sitting comfortably with your back straight and supported with whatever extra pillows and supports around you to support your comfort.
Now take a moment to sink down into your seat and just let your muscles relax.
We're going to start at the top of your head and just allowing the space in your forehead and between your brows to relax.
See those muscles softening and just gently relaxing softly.
And just take another big deep breath.
And as you exhale,
Let your cheeks relax around your nose and your face.
Breathing deeply,
Just let your jaw relax on the left and the right.
And then let your tongue relax.
And let the back of your throat relax.
Just breathing gently,
Taking long deep breaths.
And then just let the back of your head and your neck just soften all the way down to the base of your skull.
Down into your shoulders.
And then raise your shoulders up towards your ears as you inhale.
And with a big long exhale,
Drop those shoulders down.
Do that two more times.
Big inhale,
Raise the shoulders.
And exhale.
Drop them down.
Inhale in,
Raise up the shoulders.
And exhale.
And just completely drop your shoulders relaxing into your seat.
Just begin to notice the gentle wave of breathing.
Just observing your chest rising and falling.
Just noticing how long each breath is.
Just begin to count.
How many seconds does it take for that chest to rise and fall?
And are they equal?
Or is one taking longer than the other?
So now observing your chest rising,
Just inhale and allow that inhalation to go a couple more seconds than before.
About two to five seconds longer.
And then exhale.
And exhale five to ten seconds longer than before.
Just keep counting the seconds for your inhalation and your exhalation.
Just gently lengthening it little by little.
Each time you breathe in and you breathe out.
And then gently bring your awareness down to your belly and how your low belly is contributing to your breathing.
Just watching the belly rise and fade.
You can place your right hand over your heart and your left hand over your belly right below your navel.
Just begin to extend and lengthen that breath with your inhalation and expanding that breath down into the belly.
Exhaling.
And if you have a hard time breathing,
You can just make your lips very small as you exhale.
And it will give your body enough pressure to exhale out all the air that you need.
Almost like you're whistling outward.
And the body will naturally draw in the breath when you relax.
And just notice the sense of calm and relaxation from the top of your head down to your low belly.
Just let that sense of ease trickle down into your legs.
Going down the left leg.
Then down the right leg.
And just feel the bottoms of your feet softening.
Feel your arms relaxing.
Your fingertips softening.
Very relaxed grip.
Very relaxed hand position.
Just take a moment to notice the stillness inside your brain,
Inside your mind.
And if you're still having thoughts and thinking about the future,
What you must do or the past,
Just observe them as passing clouds.
Seeing your thoughts as if you're observing them from the outside and watching them like clouds passing in front of you.
There goes that thought.
And if another one comes in,
Just step outside of it again,
Observing it as a passing cloud,
Slowly passing by.
And if you begin to feel frustrated with the process,
Just thank your mind for all of these thoughts.
Thank your mind and your ego for trying to protect you and keep you safe with all those things that you feel you must or mustn't do.
Just say,
Thank you.
I hear you.
And just let that thought pass.
Just know that in these moments of stillness,
Whatever it is your mind is trying to throw at you,
Whatever it is that you feel you need to do or not do,
You will do it better with more harmony,
Grace,
And vital energy.
When you take these moments to focus on stillness,
On nothingness,
On the space between,
With the true energy of who we are exists,
A true connection with God exists.
You can begin to listen to a very silent and still,
But wise and clear voice in your head about what you must do and how and when to do it.
You can begin to listen to your intuition.
You can begin to become inspired for the future.
Just take a moment to notice this space in the middle of your head,
Just the very center moving forward,
Just like the space between the eyes,
But about an inch or two behind,
Right into your pineal gland.
Just focus on this space.
With your eyes closed,
You see nothing,
Yet there you are.
Without this body,
Without this name,
Without the external world,
There you are,
Still energy floating inside your body,
Conscious awareness,
Existing and observing in space.
Just keep noticing the space inside your head near this pineal gland.
It looks like a pearlescent teardrop.
Just focus on this pearlescent teardrop.
Breathe gently.
And again,
Any thoughts coming up,
Just let them pass like clouds in the sky,
Not worrying,
Not questioning,
Just observing,
Being present with yourself,
Giving yourself this moment of peace and nourishing your soul.
Now begin to notice the space around you,
Sensing the space in between things,
The space in between all things,
The emptiness,
The vastness of it.
How far that emptiness goes.
How far does that space reach beyond the room that you're seated in,
Outside the buildings between the trees,
The breeze that you feel but cannot see,
Floating,
Always there connecting through your breath,
Through the wind,
Through the rays of sunlight beaming from billions and trillions of miles away.
That space,
That emptiness,
That presence,
That energy,
Which is the space of awareness,
Of calm,
Of insight and wisdom,
Being present in the now,
Feeling the aliveness of being present,
Of being aware,
And the nourishing life force that gives to you,
How it feeds into your life,
All of those things that you feel you must do,
Adding vitality,
Nourishing and relaxing the mind,
And bringing centeredness and groundedness to your state of being,
To your soul.
Just take a moment to continue observing the stillness,
The space in between.
Gently bring back your awareness to this body,
To this space.
Take a nice big,
Deep inhale and exhale.
Just begin to wiggle your fingers and your toes.
Bring your hands together and rub them together.
Take another moment to absorb and soak up this feeling.
Carry this sense of peace and calm with you throughout your day.
Let it feed and nourish all that you do.
Many blessings to all of you and may you have a life filled with oneness today.
