Hello and welcome to today's daily insight.

My name is Lou Redmond And if you've practiced with me before you know,

I like to offer my inspiration on how I choose these topics For today.

I'm a bit nervous in that the inspiration is both political and kind of religious Which are always topics of heated debate and although I might avert people this feels true for me to share in this moment So I'm hoping it will feel true for some of you as well here in America There is campaigning going on for the 2020 presidential election One of the people whom are running is one of my greatest spiritual teachers Marianne Williamson Some of you I'm sure are familiar with her and for those that aren't you can look her up However,

This isn't about promoting her or her views This is more about observing what is coming up for me as she's progressing for those not in America or not into politics She is a complete long shot.

Many have written her off and no one really thinks she's going to win Regardless of this what I've been inspired by is that for her that doesn't seem to matter to quote her most famous saying Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure Although others don't believe in her she believes in that power and as you see her talk you can sense that What I see is a deep harnessing of her power and connection to God or To love or to spirit or to the universe or to source or to her higher self Whatever word you use to describe the mystery that unites us all What I feel and what I believe is that she has that power on her side Before I go further I don't consider myself of any religion and I believe all wisdom traditions point to the same truth With that said there is a Bible verse in the gospel of Matthew where Jesus says with man with human This is impossible but with God all things are possible and That's what I feel watching her that yes.

She is a long shot,

But with God all Things are possible Whatever you're working on or towards your goals your dreams your vision What if you stopped using?

What if we stopped using our limited minds and let go and believed that with God all?

Things are possible for those of you where a word like God has been sullied pick whatever resonates for you With the universe with spirit with source with love with compassion with awareness with faith with ease with trust all Things are possible Today is going to be about helping you find your word So that you can use it when you start to doubt the things you're capable of One other point that I'm inspired by in watching Marianne is that she has a vision she believes in that vision However,

She is sternly focused on what lays directly ahead of her She takes it day by day if she starts looking up and around she's going to trip This is a metaphor for our journey We get so anxious about the future that we don't see the opportunity that is right in front of us Instead we trip up and miss not only the opportunity But we miss the enjoyment of it.

We miss the mindfulness of being attuned to the present moment It's important to have our North Star,

But we must always come back to what is in front of us And that's also what we're going to work on doing today.

So let's get into it and let's go ahead and begin to settle in and doing that by first connecting with Our physical space that we find ourself in Connecting sit bones to the ground cushion chair And from that root of connection finding a length throughout your upper torso and then with that length finding a softness through the different parts of the front side and back body this constant balance between Lengthening firming relaxing softening slowly starting to allow the cadence of your breathing to allow the energy To start settling to allow the energy to start radiating within your body Beginning by just following a natural rhythm feeling the space open on each inhale allowing that soft contraction Releasing on each exhale and to be with this I offer you to take a slight smile either physically and outwardly feeling your face come into a smile or Maybe just inwardly Maybe you find the smile at your forehead or in your heart and again Keeping to the rhythm of your breathing Just noticing if that shifts any awareness Might it might not as we begin any meditation.

We're trying to connect to our higher self And how do you connect to your higher self?

There's a good chance that it is this practice of meditation of breathing of stillness a friend and fellow meditation teacher She likes to say the practice helps us to plug in and reconnect with the wellspring of energy and love and the truth of our nature So I want to take a moment to honor your mystery What is that nature for you?

Take the next few breaths connecting to wherever you feel that higher self might be And for those who may not have an immediate connection Maybe just asking that question.

Where is my higher self And remember to keep that smile as you breathe and as you do this I'll take a minute here there are a couple breaths Connecting to that higher self and together.

Let's take a conscious breath in Let that go.

I'd like you to think of a dream or a vision that you have for yourself Maybe it's not becoming president of the United States,

But I'm sure There is something that you aspire towards It could be enlightenment could be a career could be a relationship And see if you can bring this into your mind Bring it into your awareness And even bring it in to your heart And still keeping that that lightness of our smile wherever it may be and with this vision in mind See if you can connect back to That higher self once again Remember bring in a few words to to help us Maybe further connect and further See if we can allow this dream or this vision to grow stronger And you're welcome to repeat these silently to yourself.

You're welcome to repeat them out loud if you're comfortable with it Or you're welcome to just listen to the words that I share Holding this vision this dream in mind I am open to the possibilities I am worthy of the opportunity I am connected to the mystery I am powerful beyond measure Maybe just repeating that last one for a moment.

I am powerful beyond measure and coming back and coming back and going through that again,

But Just repeating the first three words I am open I am worthy I am connected I am Powerful I am powerful beyond measure Let's take a moment here to be with how that experience was Maybe connecting to one of those words if it felt right And then let's take a breath in together And let that go I'd like you to just think if there was any doubting as you said those words any feeling of not believing maybe really not believing in your capabilities and See if you can find ease with this that it's okay That we're human with limited minds And bring back that smile I'd like you to imagine again this future dream vision or goal Only now i'd like you to see it Five or ten times greater than what you originally thought it could be What would that look like?

How would it be to break out of the box of what you originally thought?

And how could that be possible?

What word?

Could you use?

To trust to do that what resonates with you?

What do you need?

Is it god?

Is it spirit?

Is it faith?

I'm going to go through a few And see how they land on your body And then eventually we're gonna Have you find your own?

Mantra Your own connection point that you can use When you find that you're doubting what you're capable of So again allowing these words to fall And if there's resistance to one or two notice that it's totally normal And remember we're about finding your word So you don't have to repeat them if you are resistant to a certain word or term So bringing that into your heart bringing that vision of five or ten times what you originally saw with love all things are possible with spirit all things are possible with trust all things are possible with faith all things are possible with god all things are possible I'd like you to find your word that you want to add in after with and before all things are possible and maybe one of those that I just shared or maybe a different word maybe compassion and maybe awareness and see if you can find your word and bring that and bring back that mantra towards yourself as you imagine yourself in this goal or this vision imagine yourself living it sensing it,

Feeling it and continuing to repeat with whatever all things are possible I'll give you a moment here to imagine it and then slowly start to bring your awareness back into the now back into yourself here and allowing any of the anxieties or stresses of the future to be held in that compassionate awareness that yes we're working towards our goals and our dreams and there's other things also going on but let's come back to our life today how can you use this mantra to move forward now and how can you trust that something can be done today,

It can be a call you can make,

A note you can write a person you can speak to how can you empower yourself today maybe you have an answer right now,

Maybe you don't maybe it'll come see it,

Trust it when you feel complete start to open your eyes and come back into your room I thank you as always for practicing with me and for checking out this daily insight,
