Good morning.
Welcome to this.
.
.
.
.
.
Today's mini meditation where.
.
.
.
.
.
We're just gonna hold space to center for the day.
Take some deep breaths.
Just settle into your physical body.
Have a little wriggle.
Just notice whether there are any aches or pains.
We've certainly got a few today.
They're transient.
They come and they go.
Just like feelings.
I invite you to.
.
.
.
.
.
Become grounded.
Just.
.
.
.
.
.
Think about being.
.
.
.
.
.
Rooted.
.
.
.
.
.
Wherever you are.
You might be on a yoga mat like me.
You might be sitting in a chair.
You might be on a bus.
You might be driving.
You might be outside walking.
Just allow.
.
.
.
.
.
Yourself to feel connected to the earth.
I'd like to envisage.
.
.
.
.
.
One line of light.
.
.
.
.
.
Connecting my.
.
.
.
.
.
Feet.
.
.
.
.
.
To the earth and my.
.
.
.
.
.
I'd like to think of it running.
.
.
.
.
.
All the way through me.
Coming out of the top of my head.
Connecting with.
.
.
.
.
.
With the sky,
With the.
.
.
.
.
.
Stars,
With the sun.
.
.
.
.
.
The ether.
.
.
.
.
.
With infinity.
I'd like to feel like.
.
.
.
.
.
That connection is drawing.
.
.
.
.
.
Strength from the earth.
.
.
.
.
.
And inspiration from the sky.
I'm mixing the two together in my body.
I'd like you to share in that feeling.
Just preparing ourselves for.
.
.
.
.
.
The day ahead.
Whatever.
.
.
.
.
.
Excitement.
.
.
.
.
.
Or challenges.
.
.
.
.
.
Or serendipitous moments.
.
.
.
.
.
Or difficulties.
.
.
.
.
.
Rely ahead.
When we're rooted to the earth.
.
.
.
.
.
And connected to the divine ether.
.
.
.
.
.
And tethered in ourselves.
.
.
.
.
.
It's so much easier.
.
.
.
.
.
To navigate what life.
.
.
.
.
.
Requests of us in this human plane.
I'd like to take a moment to.
.
.
.
.
.
Remember that.
.
.
.
.
.
Connection.
.
.
.
.
.
Connecting to the earth.
.
.
.
.
.
Connecting to the ether.
.
.
.
.
.
Connecting to ourselves.
.
.
.
.
.
And then.
.
.
.
.
.
The ultimate in connection.
.
.
.
.
.
Connecting to others.
.
.
.
.
.
Has the capacity to bring us ultimate joy.
These small moments of connection can be found.
.
.
.
.
.
In the lightest of things.
.
.
.
.
.
In the briefest of moments.
.
.
.
.
.
Little dances between eyes.
.
.
.
.
.
Little brushes between.
.
.
.
.
.
Humans.
.
.
.
.
.
Smiles.
.
.
.
.
.
Brief moments of witnessing.
.
.
.
.
.
Each other's humanity.
.
.
.
.
.
Each other's pain.
.
.
.
.
.
Each other's greatness.
.
.
.
.
.
Each other's capacity to create.
.
.
.
.
.
Each other's capacity to be brave.
.
.
.
.
.
Each other's capacity to weather suffering.
.
.
.
.
.
Each other's capacity to heal.
.
.
.
.
.
Each other's capacity to be.
.
.
.
.
.
Angry.
.
.
.
.
.
Imperfect.
.
.
.
.
.
Each other's capacity to be.
.
.
.
.
.
Not the best version of ourselves.
.
.
.
.
.
Each other's capacity to become attached and obsessed.
.
.
.
.
.
And deranged.
.
.
.
.
.
But to acknowledge that.
.
.
.
.
.
There is always the.
.
.
.
.
.
The opportunity to return to wholeness.
.
.
.
.
.
And to reconnect.
.
.
.
.
.
With that safe space inside us.
.
.
.
.
.
That will guide us to the next right action.
I just want to take a moment to acknowledge.
.
.
.
.
.
And connect with.
.
.
.
.
.
Multifaceted.
.
.
.
.
.
Variations of all of our.
.
.
.
.
.
Human faces.
.
.
.
.
.
And feelings.
.
.
.
.
.
And honour them.
.
.
.
.
.
Give them space.
.
.
.
.
.
Invite the divine creator in to.
.
.
.
.
.
Help us.
.
.
.
.
.
Knit all of these threads together.
.
.
.
.
.
To integrate them.
.
.
.
.
.
So that we can feel whole today.
.
.
.
.
.
As we go out into the world.
.
.
.
.
.
And do our best work.
.
.
.
.
.
Bringing love into our daily actions.
I'd like to bring this meditation to a close.
.
.
.
.
.
With a prayer that is dear to me.
God.
.
.
.
.
.
Where will you have me go?
What will you have me do?
What will you have me say?
And to whom?
Amen.
