New beginnings,
Choosing love every day.
Welcome to all of you.
Thank you for being here.
I will take you through a short meditation that will help you cultivate a state of inner peace,
Calm,
And love.
Set yourself in a position that is most comfortable for you.
Feet or sit bones felt firmly on the ground.
Or perhaps you prefer to lie down.
Whatever suits you is fine.
Let's take a deep,
Deep breath.
Exhaling slowly through your mouth.
Close your eyes.
Drop your shoulders and relax your hands on your lap.
Notice the flow of your breath.
Let your breath begin to calm your mind,
Calm your body,
Calm your thoughts.
Take another breath,
Breathing deeply all the way down to your belly button.
Hold it here for a few seconds.
Releasing it slowly,
Gently,
Making it into a long,
Lovely exhale through your mouth.
Place your hands on your heart.
Feel your heart.
Focus next on your feet as they touch the ground.
Feel the energy consciously rising from the earth.
Through your feet or your sit bones,
Whichever has the contact with the earth.
Release any troubling thoughts.
Feel the energy and the nourishment coming through you from deep,
Deep down within Mother Earth.
This energy begins to rise and begins to take root in you.
This earth is here to help us ground ourselves,
To help us remember there are things,
Wonderful things on this earth to enjoy,
To help us,
To remind us of just how lovely the universe is,
And just how lovely you are.
Once again,
Feel love,
Feel nourishment coming from our Mother Earth.
Perhaps a daily practice of self-love would be helpful.
Somehow it seems that loving ourselves first is the most difficult of loves.
Take another breath,
This time directed into your heart.
Holding your hands there still at your heart,
Watch your breath flow gently out of your body.
Allowing this calming energy to work its magic in your heart,
In your mind,
And in your body.
Relax,
Release,
And smile.
Remember this moment of stillness.
It is peaceful here in your heart,
In your breath.
See this opening in your heart.
Let the light and nourishment flow into that.
When we invite light and energy into any area of our bodies that are dark or closed off,
It cannot survive.
We cannot allow it to survive.
The flood of light and energy does not allow it.
Make it your daily intention to choose love.
Choosing it for yourself first can then make it possible to choose love for others.
It can take us to a mutual place of tolerance,
Forgiveness,
And understanding.
Whatever your ease or difficulty in life,
Let love be present.
Mindfully choose love.
God is love.
His presence in all our acts and thoughts of love.
Do not shut it out.
Do not close your hearts to it.
Love can hurt,
But it is also the noblest of acts.
To love.
Know that you are the beloved.
You are the beloved.
Breathe.
Exhale.
As we come to the end of this meditation,
Slowly begin to open your eyes.
Smile.
Stay safe.
Stay well.
I send you love and blessings.
Bye.
